Dear Guests,
Spring is almost here, and with it comes an exciting lineup of programs and events at our 19 locations. You’ve heard of Spring Break, but have you heard of STEAM Break? It’s a series of engaging events at our libraries to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. It’s a great way for students on Spring Break to have some fun and keep learning.
From building bridges and floating rafts at Almonte Library to designing linocut prints at Bethany Library, our branches are bringing STEAM concepts to life. Kids can dive into “Fairy Tale Science,” and “Zoology Explorers,” at Downtown OKC Library or try out “Glow-in-the-Dark Science,” at Choctaw Library. Meanwhile, teens and adults can sharpen their skills in web development bootcamps, 3D printing classes and even a spud racer competition!
Looking for more hands-on learning? Check out our Metro Grows Discovery Backpacks, a collection designed to help families explore nature together. Each backpack has tools like binoculars, magnifying glasses, field guides and activity ideas for budding scientists, gardeners, and outdoor adventurers. These backpacks can be checked out just like a book, making it easy for families to connect with the world around them.
March is also Women’s History Month, and we’re proud to highlight the incredible contributions of women in history, science and the arts. The Downtown OKC Library is hosting a Local Women Artist Showcase all month, featuring creative works by women shaping our cultural landscape. On March 8, join us for a “Paint and Sip,” event with artist Esther Velasco, where we’ll create art while celebrating women’s achievements (don’t worry—our "sip" is library-provided and nonalcoholic!).
For those who love puzzles and adventure, “Herstory Unlocked,” at Almonte Library on March 20 will transport you into an escape room experience focused on trailblazing women in history. At Edmond Library, families can take home a “Straw Rocket Launcher Kit,” to learn about female astronauts who reached for the stars. If you want to trace the history of the women in your own life, we’ve got genealogy resources to help you explore their stories.
Oklahoma has a rich history of inspiring women writers. Joy Harjo from Tulsa was the first Native American to be the U.S. Poet Laureate. Her work focuses on identity and strength. As the first American woman to finish astronaut training, Norman native Jerrie Cobb proved that women have a place in space. Civil rights pioneer Clara Luper launched a movement that helped end segregation across the country. This month, we invite you to discover their works and those of other remarkable Oklahoma women authors.
Visit metrolibrary.org or stop by one of our 19 locations to learn more about these and other upcoming events. We can’t wait to see you this month as we spring into learning together!

By Zoe Elrod, Internal Communications Coordinator
Join us this April at Literary Voices® for an unforgettable celebration of literature and community presented by the Library Endowment Trust. If you haven't already secured your tickets, don't miss this opportunity to champion your local library. The Library Endowment Trust is delighted to announce that bestselling author Jodi Picoult will be the featured speaker for the Literary Voices® event April 9, promising an evening of thought-provoking conversation and storytelling, highlighting her remarkable career and the themes that make her novels so compelling.
Jodi Picoult is one of the most celebrated authors of our time, with an estimated 40 million books in print. Her novels span a range of genres, from literary fiction to legal thrillers, delving into deeply relevant social issues that challenge and engage readers. With 14 consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers and multiple film adaptations, Picoult’s work continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
You may recognize some of her critically acclaimed novels including “My Sister’s Keeper,” which explores medical ethics and family dynamics; “Nineteen Minutes,” a hauntingly powerful examination of a school shooting’s aftermath; and “Small Great Things,” a story about race and privilege that has been adapted into an upcoming film starring Viola Davis and Julia Roberts. Her latest novel, “By Any Other Name,” reimagines women’s voices throughout history, shedding light on stories that have long been overlooked. Beyond her novels, Picoult has also made her mark in theater, co-writing the OffBroadway musical “Between the Lines” and adapting “The Book Thief” for the stage.
“Our committee and supporters have wanted to host Jodi Picoult for over a decade,” Heather Zeoli, Director of Development and Volunteer Services, said.
“As Jodi’s catalog of work grew, the history and author notoriety of our event grew, and we are so grateful she has said yes to our invitation.”
All proceeds from Literary Voices® 2025 will benefit the Library Endowment Trust, supporting vital programs, materials and services for the Metropolitan Library System. Since its establishment in 1986, the Trust has played a crucial role in helping the library system grow and thrive, funding enhanced outreach services, staff scholarships and expanded programming for all ages.
A key initiative is the expansion of childhood literacy programs, including a strengthened collaboration with the Friends of the Library to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) in Oklahoma County. This program ensures children have access to books from an early age, fostering a lifelong love of reading. Every donation—including your Literary Voices® ticket purchase—helps keep our libraries dynamic and accessible to the entire community.
Library advocate and Friends of the Library board member Marek Cornett has seen DPIL’s impact firsthand. An avid reader of over 100 books a year, she values the benefits of reading and has passed that love on to her children, using the library to support their interests. Serving on the board when DPIL was introduced, she has watched its growth over the years—even within her own home.
“Whenever the Imagination Library started in Oklahoma City, I had four kids under five, so I signed them all up immediately,” Cornett said. “We've gotten books ever since, and it's been wonderful.”
She said her children’s love of reading has grown, and they get excited to receive new books in the mail, many of them often becoming favorites. Her oldest recently discovered the book “Spend It!” through DPIL, a book about a bunny learning the value of money through earning carrots as an allowance. She said books like this one help expand her children’s horizons.
“They definitely get more excited about reading,” Cornett said. “As soon as the new book comes in, that is the book we have to read that night. There are so many books that are part of this program that I wouldn’t have thought to introduce.”
She loves seeing their home library grow with books her children will cherish for years, helping prepare them for school and fostering a lifelong love of reading. As a strong library supporter, she believes libraries serve as vital hubs for families and people of all ages. That’s why Literary Voices, the biggest fundraiser for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, is such an important way to support local libraries and keep invaluable programs like DPIL thriving. Learn more about how your support makes a difference at supportmls.org/dolly.
“We see the impact that libraries are making on thousands of people every single day,” Cornett said. “There are babies in there that are playing with blocks and reading their board books next to an 80-year-old using the computer. It is just really impactful for the community as a whole. I just love our library system.”
Mark your calendars for April 9, for an unforgettable evening with Jodi Picoult. For event details and tickets, visit literaryvoices.org, email development@metrolibrary.org or call 405-606-3760.
One half of the children under the age of five in Oklahoma County are now receiving one book per month at home thanks to funding for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library from donors to the Friends of the Library and the Library Endowment Trust. Participants in the program not only receive a book at home each month but also a short newsletter, providing educational tips and resources for programs and activities within the Metropolitan Library System.
"The Hello Girls: America’s First Women Soldiers"
Elizabeth Cobbs
Available formats: Book, eAudiobook
This Women’s History Month, jump into a history that will have you gripping the pages with tension: Elizabeth Cobbs’ “The Hello Girls: America’s First Women Soldiers." WWI is one of my favorite time periods to study; in part, because there are so many facets and miniature histories to explore. “The Hello Girls” continues this pattern, describing America’s first female soldiers on the front in WWI. Responsible for transferring and delivering messages between fronts during all conditions, Cobbs does a fantastic job describing the conditions that the Signal Corps Female Telephone Operators Unit had to endure to serve their country. The book not only delves into battlefield struggles but also describes their battle to be officially recognized for their work, only ending in 1977 when they were recognized as civilian contractors with the U.S. Army. Cobbs’ writing is simultaneously intriguing and heartfelt. It is clear that her research caused her to connect deeply with these women, a sentiment that is easily instilled in the reader.

Ali Hazelwood
Available formats: Book, eBook, eAudiobook, Kindle, Large Print
By now readers know what to expect from an Ali Hazelwood romance. They’re fast paced and frothy, and there’s science you sometimes skim over because you do not have a degree in STEM. At the heart of all of Hazelwood’s novels is an emotional connection that grounds the spicy romantic comedy hijinks with something real. “Love, Theoretically” is very fun and possibly my favorite of the STEMinist novels so far. Elsie and Jack shine as academic rivals turned lovers. It’s a great book to curl up on the couch with on a chilly evening.

"The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science"
Kate McKinnon
Available formats: Book, eBook, eAudiobook, Kindle
The Porch sisters have been kicked out of every etiquette school in their town of Antiquarium. Is it their fault that they are more interested in slugs, rocks and explosions than they are learning the proper way to drink tea? After their latest expulsion, the girls receive an invitation to a mysterious new school. When they arrive, they discover it is run by none other than Millicent Quibb, the infamous mad scientist. Thus begins an adventure to save their small town from a vicious worm by embracing the uniqueness that got them kicked out of all of their previous schools.
Written by SNL alum Kate McKinnon, this quirky adventure is sure to delight young readers. Narrated by Kate and her sister, Emily Lynne, they bring the story to life with hilarious character voices and the perfect amount of flair. This is an excellent book for young sci-fi readers and fans of Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” or Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

“Pockets for Two: A Collection of Girlhood,” is a celebration of female friendship and togetherness for all ages, from school-age pals to grown-up besties. Nervous on the first day of school, a young girl meets her new best friend. The two girls make friendship bracelets, catch bugs, play hopscotch, and live out childhood adventures of wonder and curiosity. Their story is told through the theme of pockets, and this choice is explained for parents and advanced readers beautifully in an author’s note on the final page. The art style of this picture book draws from jewel tones, unique paper cut-outs, and lots of rich visual texture. “Pockets for Two,” is, as the title suggests, a book best shared, so sit down with someone—sister, daughter, niece, BFF—and read it together!

By Lisa Bradley, Special Collections Librarian
By 1942, city leaders anticipated that Oklahoma City’s population would grow by 50,000 with the addition of two new employers: the Midwest Air Depot and Douglas Aircraft Company. But where would those families live? One man wasn’t concerned. He saw an opportunity long before the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce did. That man was W. P. “Bill” Atkinson, a former journalist turned city builder. Atkinson unveiled plans for his model town, the first model town devoted to aviation in Oklahoma—Midwest City.
Construction began on the 168-acre and $4 million new town on March 1, 1942. The plans included 60 rental duplexes and 612 single-family homes to house 2,500 families. These homes would cost between $2,750 and $4,500. Streets were named for aviators and airplanes including Aeronca, Boeing, Curtiss, Lockheed, and Rickenbacker. As an added incentive, prospective home buyers had a new way to buy a home—a loan from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). These loans, created during the Great Depression, were especially attractive to first-time home buyers as families needed less of a down payment to move into their first home.
Midwest City was planned to be a complete town built on the north side of SE 29th St. for civilian employees of the new Midwest Air Depot and later, the Douglas Aircraft Company. Atkinson’s plan included schools, a retail shopping center, a movie theater and two parks.
In 1943, the first school year for the new town, classes were held in barracks and huts assembled by parents and students. On the first day of September 1944, the students arrived for classes in brand new school buildings: a high school (Midwest City High School) and three grade schools (Midwest City, Sooner and Soldier Creek).
Opening in October 1944, the Skytrain Theatre was the first movie theater in Midwest City, and part of Atkinson’s original plan for Atkinson Plaza located directly across 29th St. from the air base. Even the theater was named for an airplane: Skytrain was a nickname for the C-47 (AKA the Gooney Bird) which was built at the Douglas plant across the street. The theater was owned by R. Lewis Barton and his wife Dollye. Their son, Robert served as a radio operator in Northern Italy during WWII and rejoined his dad in the theatre business at the end of the war.
Although not part of Atkinson’s original plan, by the early 1950s, residents decided the community needed a library. Civic organizations including school PTAs organized book drives and fundraisers. The city responded by designating a city garage at 300 Mid-America as the new library. A 1953 bond issue for “library and jail expansion” passed—the library entrance would be separate from the jail entrance. In March 1955, the first librarian was appointed for the new library—Mrs. Lillian Crumpler. Two thousand library cards were issued in that first year, and 20,591 books were circulated.
In 2001, Midwest City began the process of buying out the businesses and some of the homes in the area to redevelop the land into a new shopping area. Today, the twin water towers, the U-shaped street layout, and the aviation-inspired street names are visible reminders of the area as it was first developed back in 1942.

The library has more than just books! You can use 3D printers in our Makerspaces, visit museums with Experience passes, and get gardening tools through Metro Grows. As winter ends, it's a great time to start planning your spring garden, and we're here to help.
The Metro Grows initiative, funded by a health literacy grant from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, promotes sustainability by letting guests try gardening tools before buying, reducing waste and saving money. Tools are available for a three-week loan at participating branches on a firstcome, first-served basis. While some wear is expected, guests should treat tools with care and report any damage upon return. Lost or unreturned tools will incur a replacement charge. Available tools include trowels, pruners, rakes, shovels, loppers and more.
Gardening Tools are available at Almonte, Belle Isle, Bethany, Capitol Hill, Choctaw, Del City, Downtown OKC, Midwest City, Ralph Ellison, Southern Oaks, The Village and Warr Acres libraries.
Metro Grows also offers Discovery Backpacks for young gardeners, filled with nature tools, a Metro Library coloring book, an age-appropriate book and an activity guide from Myriad Gardens and OKC Beautiful. These backpacks foster creativity and encourage kids to explore nature and gardening outside the library. Guests can check out one tool and one backpack at a time for three weeks. No late fees, but charges apply for lost or unreturned items. Guests are encouraged to return on time so others can enjoy them too.
Discovery Backpacks are available at Almonte, Belle Isle, Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Downtown OKC, Jones, Luther, Midwest City, Northwest, Ralph Ellison, Southern Oaks, The Village and Warr Acres libraries.

• Pollination: Learn about butterflies and bees with flower identification and by planting a butterfly garden.
• Living Things: Learn how plants and animals breathe, eat and grow through sprout experiments and nature observation.
• Water: Dive into the water cycle through fun weather experiments like creating a rain gauge and exploring aquatic ecosystems.
For ages 8-12, there are also four backpacks available focused on the four elements:
• Living with Fire: This backpack teaches fire safety through campfire building, emergency preparedness activities and even campfire recipes.
• Water Moves: Track the journey of water through cloud experiments, a water thermometer and erosion activities.
• Seed Dispersal: Learn the science of plant growth with a mini microscope, explore navigation with a compass, and learn about how seeds travel using wind dispersal activities.

In addition to our Metro Grows program, several libraries, including Jones, Del City, and Edmond, are offering seed libraries with vegetable, herb and flower seeds where guests can take seeds and even donate their own. No checkout or personal info is needed. Just stop by and enjoy!

Free Scanning Day Hosted by Metropolitan Library System and the Luther Historical Society.
We’re inviting you to a special Scanning Day event to help preserve your important documents and cherished memories. Bring your photos, letters, and records, and we’ll help you make digital copies to protect them for years to come.
What to Bring:
• Family photos and keepsakes
• Letters, postcards, event programs
• Any personal items you’d like to preserve in digital form
The items you bring for scanning can be added to the Luther Historical Society Collection in the Special Collections and Research archive with your written permission. You can also learn more about how the library collects personal histories of individuals and families by doing oral history interviews. Email maree.pascall@metrolibrary.org with any questions.
