Summer Solstice Lantern Sail is tonight at 8pm around the Timbrook Library! 💛

☀ Lanterns on the Timbrook Pond around dusk
🌼 Flower crown craft
🐤 Mini decorative birdhouse craft
🍦 CraveABLES ice cream truck available
🫧 Bubbles
🎸 Light music

Things To Know: Most of the park will close at dusk due to uneven surfaces. The pond is located in the middle of Timbrook Park and isn't very stroller friendly. Most of the activities will be outside on the library lower level. Please check with deputies for traffic support and handicap accessible parking options. Parking can be found at the library and baseball field parking lots. Access to the lower level parking lot will be blocked off all day Friday for the event. The main level (upstairs) of the library will be open from 8 to 9:30pm. The prize wheel/adult goodie basket for Summer Reading will not be available during the event, but we are excited that you are reading! We are watching the weather, but plan to still host the event on Friday. We can't wait to see you!

Welcome back to ! We were feeling extra silly after our Chicken Party at CCPL (Rustburg) last Thursday and wanted to explore Charley the Chicken & some of the other fun, unofficial mascots the library has had over the years! 🐔

While we couldn't find much in the older library records, the 2000s held a number of unofficial mascots for CCPLS that patrons came to know, love, & look forward to seeing at the library when they would visit!
⭐"Readasaurus Rex" was a bearded dragon housed at CCPL (Rustburg) in 2010 who had many features on the library's early social media pages & LOVED scratches from current staff member Katie Lane 🦎💚
⭐"Dudley the Deer Head" was, as confirmed by several long-time staff members, a beloved decoration in the lobby at CCPL (Rustburg) whose presence & funny garb is still missed! 🦌
⭐"Lady-Reads-A-Lot" was the unofficial name for our unofficial blue book mascot that popped up at local events in the mid-to-late 2000s! Men & women alike played the part in the spirit of library joy, but one current staff member who ended up in the suit just before it was retired reminisced on how terribly hot it could get at the baseball stadium in July in that thing!

Nowadays, Charley the Chicken makes a regular appearance in a lot of library promotions & programming (so much so we had to throw that party last week...😍) as he has for quite a few years now! And the library LOVES a good tie-dye (anyone still have one of the tie-dye cards!?)

What do YOU associate with our library (other than books & amazing services)? Should we get more mounted deer heads for our lobbies? Let us know & join us next week for more silly fun for
