Fire Prevention Poster Contest!

Did you know that October 4 - 10 is Fire Prevention Week?

You're probably wondering what you can do to celebrate. We've got a great idea!

Design and create a poster, no bigger than 9" x 12", about preventing fires - this year's theme is "Don't Get Burned" - and enter it in the poster contest, sponsored by the Emmet O'Neal Library and the Mountain Brook Fire Department.

You can use any medium you'd like, but entries are due at the library children's desk by September 30, so go ahead - get to work!

Family night is back with Emmy Award-winning Farmer Jason! You don't want to miss this rollicking good time of food and music. Dinner is at 5:30, and Farmer Jason begins at 6:00. There's no need to register - just come on down, y'all!
