Regardless of the weather, reading can take us places near and far away. We can go back in time or zoom into the future. We can learn and imagine and grow and so much more because we read books.
The Carrollton-North Carrollton Library and the Vaiden Library are provided by our county for use by Carroll County residents. The Friends of the Library is an organization that supports the local library, supplying extra funds and volunteers. Carroll County has two Friends organizations, one for each library. January and February are their main fund raising months.
On Friday, January 20, the Friends of the Vaiden Library will host their annual chili lunch. The $8 ticket buys chili, cornbread, dessert and tea. It will be served from 11 am to 1 pm. For more information call the Library at 662-464-7736.
On Saturday, February 4, the Friends of the Carrollton-North Carrollton Library will host their annual soup tasting and art exhibit. The $10 ticket buys “tastes” of 6 soups – Burger in a Bowl Soup, Chicken Lemon & Rice Soup, Easy Chili, New Year’s Day Good Luck Soup, Mexican Stew and Smoky Pork Taco Soup. To help celebrate our state’s 200th birthday, door prizes will be given away to those who know the answers to Mississippi trivia questions. Do you know who our capital is named for? Where Eagle Brand Milk was first processed? What is our state flower, tree, bird or duck? There are several websites that contain trivia about the different states and there will be posters and information on the tables to help soup tasters win a door prize. Tickets will be available at the Library and from many of the Friends. Because of seating, only a limited number of tickets are sold so get yours today! Call the Library at 662-237-6268 or Pam Lee at 662-237-6910 for more information.

The Friends of the Vaiden Library invite you to warm up at their annual chili lunch on Friday, January 22, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, at the Library.  Tickets are available at the Library for $8.00.  Tickets are required.  Raffle tickets are also being sold for some handmade items.

The Friends of the Carrollton-North Carrollton Library invite you to warm up at their annual soup tasting and art exhibit.  Held at the Carrollton Community House on February 13, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, the Friends will be serving samples of six different soups:  Broccoli and Wild Rice Soup, Buffalo Chicken Chowder, Creamy Potato Soup, Dill Pickle Soup, Vegetable Soup and Wild Rice and Sausage Soup.  These six soups were selected at a taste test session held recently by members.  The members’ favorite was Dill Pickle Soup.  What will yours be?  Buy your $10 ticket from any of the Friends or from the Library and bring your change to vote for your favorite soup.  Carroll County artists will also be at the Community House to demonstrate some of their work.  Tickets are required.

Reading is an important skill needed throughout life.  It can also be a great relaxer or entertainment.  Help the Carroll County Libraries provide more reading opportunities this year.  If you can’t attend these events, make a donation.
