Other “Community Helpers” we will read about during this Story Time Session are Librarians, Nurses, Firefighters, Mothers, Fathers, Soldiers and how we can be “Community Helpers” through Earth Day projects.
Children of any age are encouraged to come and home schooled children are welcome as well, however the program and activities are geared for children ages 2-5. For more information about our Story Time please call the Library at 405-258-3204.

Food for Fines
Canned goods
Do you have overdue books from the Chandler Public Library and aren’t sure how much your fine is? During the month of December the Chandler Library is having a non-perishable food drive. If you have overdue books and return them in December along with non-perishable food items, the fine will be waived. If you have fines on previously returned books, bring in non-perishable food items and the fines will be waived.
The food will be donated The Chosen House and those with fines can again use library services. Everybody wins!
The food drive will last from December 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. Just bring in your non-perishable food items and any fines will be waived.
If you don’t have a fine and want to donate food anyway, just bring your donation to the library during that time and the staff will be pleased to accept it.
