Yesterday’s Chamber Coffee was at the guthrie_library, and wow — there is so much happening there this summer!
Here’s some fun things we learned:
Over the last year, the library hosted more than 400 programs, with one event bringing in close to 3,000 people. They’re also helping connect people to opportunity through BlueRecruit, a resource available at libraries across Oklahoma that helps people explore blue-collar careers and certification pathways.
The Summer Reading Program is kicking off soon, and it’s open to all ages! Participants can earn tickets for raffle prizes, all funded by the Friends of the Guthrie Public Library — a group that’s been supporting the library since 1997, now with 125 members and always welcoming more members.
There are also so many fun events coming up this summer, including extreme animals, an Egyptian cryptologist, animal adoptions, and even an adult date night at the end of June.
During the coffee, Guthrie Kiwanis presented the library with a $1,000 donation to help support the summer programs — something they shared they do every year! This community is AWESOME.
Be sure to check out the library’s website and socials to keep up with everything they have planned!
