Read On! Mayes County Libraries

July 17, 2019

One of the squares on the Adult Summer Reading Bingo sheet this year is “visit another Mayes County library.” I write about the Pryor Library because it is what I know best, but I am always impressed by what the other libraries in Mayes County offer our communities. 

Pryor’s library is, by far, the largest library in the county. We have a bigger population base, a bigger budget, and a bigger building than the rest, but that doesn’t mean we have a bigger mission or a bigger drive to serve our patrons. The Chouteau, Langley, Locust Grove, and Salina Public Libraries work just a diligently to provide resources to our communities and our entire county (sometimes more than our county) as the Pryor Library does. 

They offer storytime classes, STEM workshops, guest speakers, book collections, online resources, and amazing staff. If you live in Pryor, it’s worth the drive to one of our neighboring towns to visit. If you live in a community lucky enough to have a public library, go check it out. You’ll be as impressed as I am.
