Burnsville Summer Reading Schedule

Tishomingo County Libraries Invite You to “Color Our World” This Summer

TISHOMINGO COUNTY, MS — The Tishomingo County public libraries are excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Summer Reading Program, themed “Color Our World.” Starting June 5, readers of all ages are invited to immerse themselves in a vibrant season of books, activities, and community events that spark imagination and inspire creativity.

“Color Our World” celebrates the transformative power of storytelling—bringing to life new perspectives, bold adventures, and shared experiences. From rain-drenched rainforest tales to neon-lit mysteries, our curated reading lists span a full spectrum of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, biography, poetry, and more—ensuring that every reader finds the perfect palette for exploration.

“We’re thrilled to see our community come alive through reading and creativity,” said Teresa Templeton, Branch Manager of the Iuka Public Library. “This year’s program invites everyone to explore new worlds, share their own colorful stories, and discover how books can brighten every corner of our lives.”

All events are free and open to the public. Participants can register and track their reading progress at any Tishomingo County public library. The Iuka Library will also feature an indoor Scavenger Hunt and an outdoor Story Walk for added fun.

For more information about Burnsville Library’s Summer Reading Program, call 662-427-9258. The library is located at 7 Norman Ave in Burnsville and is open Monday-Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Burnsville Public Library’s 3rd SRP, with Master Gardener Lena Mitchell and assistant T’kyra Young spoke about plants and instructed how to plant and care for the seeds each participant was given to plant in a container of soil. The participants enjoyed planting and watering their seeds and were also provided extra packages of seeds to take home and plant in their soil. It was both educational and FUN! Thanks to the presenters and also to the participants. Our next SRP here at Burnsville Public Library is scheduled for July 31 beginning at 12:30 and the subject theme is to be self affirmation, because sometimes we all need encouragement.
Burnsville 2nd SRP, Representatives from FANB explained how to save money, read a story related to this topic from the U.S. Currency Education for kids (donated by a patron) and gave out never circulated State quarters along with goody bags filled with other fun items. The library was supplied with several of the currency books by our patron and we were able to hand out these books to our SRP participants.
