MS Library Spotlight: Kiln, Pearlington, and Waveland Public Libraries

Remember a few weeks ago when we shared our staffs' visit to the Bay St. Louis library? We've been saving our branch library pictures from Hancock County Library System, but we couldn't wait any longer to share them with you!
The Kiln Public Library was decked out head-to-toe in Mardi Gras decorations. Laissez les bons temps rouler! Pictured are: HCLS Public Affairs/Development Officer Mary Perkins, HCLS Public & Information Services Officer Adrienne Bradley, MLC Library Consultant Ally Watkins, HCLS IT Officer Jason Bans, HCLS Administrative Librarian Heather Dungey, HCLS Business Manager Lynne Chasez, MLC's Executive Support Director Ethel Dunn, and MLC's PR Director Susan Liles.

Kiln Public Library has a lot of neat programs and features, including a growing comic book and
graphic novel area. Fun fact: fishing poles will soon be available to check out from Kiln Public Library. Fishing and reading out on the bayou sounds like an afternoon made in heaven.




 


We were quite taken with the library's computer station for the visually impaired. It has an amplifier and other goodies to make it accessible for those who have sight problems.





Pearlington Public Library is also housed in a lovely building. Here's another fun fact: there is a story time every day at a library somewhere in Hancock County.








There are AWE early learning stations at each of the Hancock County Library branches. The kids are huge fans. Pictured is Pearlington branch.





The Waveland Public Library has an amazing children's section. Wouldn't you love to stride aboard this pirate ship and read about swashbuckling tales of derring-do?!

We bid you adieu from the stately front porch of Waveland Public Library. Our Mississippi Library Commission staff enjoyed consulting and visiting with the staff of the Hancock County Library System. We'll see you soon!
