The Tyson Library staff set goals to read enough books to reach their own height if those books were stacked one on top of the other. Some of us met our goals, and we all enjoyed the challenge!
Trey met his goal in early October 2022.
Together we read more than 325 books. Most of the books we read were in traditional print format, but many were audiobooks or ebooks.
Donna met her goal in early November 2022.
Congrats to our staff who read to their heights!

Aly met her goal in December 2022.
“I’m excited about a new year for reading books and trying to beat my goal from last year,” said Aly Wright, Children & Teen Programming Coordinator.
It’s time to bust out the craft supplies and break through those winter blues with the 2023 Tyson Library Bookmark Contest!
This is our official invitation to any and all local students in preschool through 12th grade to submit an entry for this year’s contest. The winning designs from each age/grade category will be available as Tyson Library’s official bookmarks for 2023.
Need a little inspiration? Just take a look at last year’s winning designs!
Each design can be as colorful and creative as your child wants to make their design – we want the students to have fun and show us what they think of when it comes to books and the joy of reading.
We will celebrate this year’s winners during National Library Week (April 23-29) with a reception for the winners and their families at the Tyson Activity Center.
Rules:
Design MUST fit in a space 8 inches by 2 inches (like the box included on the printable form)
Limit 1 drawing per person
Designs can be hand or computer drawn in color or black & white using ink, crayon, paint, or other media. (Note: pencil drawings are often not reproducible, thus NOT accepted.)
Submitted drawings must have the child’s name, grade, and parent’s signature (authorizing the library to use the winning drawing)
