Whether it's an old-fashioned mother-daughter celebration or a fun exploration of the fantastical world of Narnia, the Greenville-Butler County Public Library is offering patrons a world of fun and learning this year.

&#8220This is the first time we have done this type of event and we hope lots of mamas and daughters will join us for an early Mother's Day celebration.”

On May 20, the GBCPL is kicking off its Summer Reading Program early during Super Saturday. &#8220The theme is ‘Once Upon a Time,' and we will start learning about the wonderful world of Narnia,” Miss Jean said.
