The Jackson Parish Library has a special week planned boasting a bevy of activities at both the Jonesboro and Chatham branches that include the regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the Library Board on Monday. 

The scheduled special events are in conjunction with the normal weekly Bookworms Storytime on Monday and Teen’s /Tween’s get together on Tuesday at the Jonesboro Branch.

The fun week of “extra’s” begins in Chatham at 2:00 pm on Monday, July 17th with Movie Mania where the film Ticket Paradise will be shown along with free popcorn and drinks available for viewing patrons. 

Sponsored by the local LSU-AG Center, the extra fun continues in Chatham at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 18th when Shannon Chevallier teaches how to make a charcuterie board. 

On Wednesday, the Jonesboro Fire Department and Fire Marshall Mark Treadway will be on site at both the Jonesboro (10:00 am) and Chatham (2:00 pm) branches where patrons get a close up look at one of the Fire Trucks. Providing for a very special end to the week, children of all ages will get to enjoy petting a wide variety of animals and taking pony rides compliments of the Jubilee Zoo. Adding to the animal kingdom entertainment will be Sno-Cones by Willy Ts, first at the Chatham Branch on Thursday from 1-3 pm and Friday at the same times at the Jonesboro Branch.
