Howdy y’all! We hope you are all doing well considering, the circumstances that currently face our community. We were very fortunate to not be drastically affected by the storm this week, however we recognize that this is a rare privilege that not everyone received here in the valley. Out of respect for all those that are currently struggling with the flooding, we’ve decided it would be best to postpone our events until April. Stay tuned for the updated dates and we look forward to seeing y’all again soon!

Be part of something green and growing at MPL! On Thursday, March 20th from 9–11AM, we’re unveiling our brand-new Tiny Forest at Orchid Park, a special gift from H-E-B Helping Here and the Friends of Quinta Mazatlán. This project, in partnership with Quinta Mazatlán, brings native plants and green spaces to our community, creating a new outdoor learning environment at Main Library.

This is a hands-on, family-friendly event where the community can help bring the Tiny Forest to life. Don’t miss this chance to plant, learn, and grow with us!
