Across our libraries, you’ll find unique experiences this month that you wouldn’t expect to see in a library; and that’s exactly what I love about our library system. From large-scale skeleton exhibits to Summer Reading kickoff parties, our spaces (both physical and digital) invite curiosity and make learning accessible and engaging for everyone in our community.
That spirit is on full display with Nature’s Open Book, our special exhibit in partnership with SKELETONS: Museum of Osteology, continuing in the atrium of the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library through May 31. The exhibit has been a remarkable addition to the library, drawing guests of all ages to explore specimens like a 24-foot killer whale, a manatee and a giraffe. Last month, we had the opportunity to bring the exhibit to life through two kickoff events where guests of all ages gathered to experience something both educational and unexpected––a powerful reminder of what libraries can be.
Our libraries continue to bring the unexpected with the return of the fandom-favorite GeekCon, returning May 9 at the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library. With this all-day event, our Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library transforms into a celebration of comics, pop culture and fandoms of all kinds, with escape rooms, crafts, mini panels and cosplay. Events like GeekCon reflect an important part of our mission: there is always more than one way to learn. Comics and graphic novels, for example, offer a dynamic form of storytelling that strengthens literacy and invites readers to engage with stories in new and meaningful ways. And GeekCon is the perfect place to discover a new favorite comic series or gather together with fellow fans.
As we look ahead, our commitment to lifelong learning continues with the return of our Summer Reading program on June 1. This year’s theme, “Unearth a Story,” encourages readers of all ages to stay engaged, explore new ideas and build on the habits that support learning over time. We encourage you to start thinking about your Summer Reading goals and sign up soon!
May, as we all know, is also a season of milestones. Across our community, graduates are celebrating achievements that reflect years of effort and growth. At the library, we’re proud to support those journeys at every stage, from early literacy programs like our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program that prepares children for school, to opportunities for adults working toward completing their education like our Excel High School program. These moments reflect the many paths learning takes, and the role libraries play along the way.
This month, I encourage you to find new ways to explore your library — there is no shortage of unique programs. From rock concerts to Tai Chi classes, I continue to be thrilled with our library’s unexpected offerings.

A Lifetime of Learning: Celebrating Milestones
By Zoe Elrod, Internal Communications Coordinator
With May comes graduation season, a time typically associated with caps, gowns and ceremonies recognizing academic milestones. At the Metropolitan Library System, that spirit of completion and progress extends beyond traditional classrooms, with programs that support learning from early childhood through adulthood.
One example is 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, a program for children from birth to age five that encourages families to read together regularly. Research shows that early literacy skills begin developing well before children enter school, and shared reading is one way to support language development and school readiness. The program allows families to track reading through the Beanstack app, logging books and audiobooks read at home, during library visits or at story times.
Participants can register at any time, as the program is offered year-round. Milestones are recognized along the way, with small incentives at intervals such as 100 and 500 books, and a certificate and tote bag awarded upon completion of 1,000 books.
Meg Hunt enrolled her daughter, Lillian, in the 1,000 Books program and said it added more intentionality to their reading. Even during the chaos
of toddlerhood, she can log books and track favorites. While the 1,000-book goal first felt daunting, she said it ultimately helps them build a lasting reading habit.
“If we can hit 1,000 books in the first four or five years, I know I'm setting my child up to bank many more in the years to come,” Hunt said. “And I look forward to when she'll select her own and follow her curiosity.”
In addition to early literacy programs, the library also provides opportunities for adult learners.
Through the Excel Adult High School program, eligible participants can earn an accredited high school diploma in a flexible, online format. The program is free and self-paced, allowing students to access coursework at any time and progress according to their schedules. Along the way, coaches provide guidance, and additional support is available through an on-demand tutoring platform.
The library recently recognized its first graduate from the Excel Adult High School program, marking a milestone for both the participant and the system’s expanding educational offerings.
“Whether an Excel Adult High School
student is ready for the next step in their career, fulfilling an educational milestone to open new doors, or proving that it's never too late to achieve a dream, the library is here to cheer them on,” said Outreach Librarian Kadey Bernhardt about the program.
Together, these programs reflect the range of learning opportunities available through the library. From early reading development to high school completion, they highlight how education can transform lives across different stages of life, with resources designed to meet a variety of needs.
During graduation season, every milestone offers a broader view of what it means to learn and work toward your goals.
Meg and Lillian participate in "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten."
Oklahoma’s Space Flight Controller Amaze Amaze Amaze
By Buddy Johnson, Special Collections Manager, updated May 2026
Whether it’s your book club pick of “Atmosphere” by Taylor Jenkins Reid or your plan to finally read “Project Hail Mary” after its film debut, space stories are having quite the resurgence. We’re taking a moment to spotlight one of Oklahoma’s own space flight heroes—something to keep in mind as you embark on your own intergalactic reading journey.
Much like our Project Hail Mary protagonist, Oklahoma’s John Aaron never intended to work for NASA.
Coming from the tiny town of Vinson in Southwest Oklahoma, Aaron said he really didn’t know much about the space program and only had a vague notion of Sputnik. Graduating from a high school with nine students, Aaron hadn’t encountered much math or science, but as a student at Southwestern State he fell in love with math and physics. Still, his chief ambition was to qualify as a science teacher and use his teacher’s salary to provide for his dream career—cattle ranching.
After completing his degree in 1964, a former college buddy called with an offer to work on the Gemini program for NASA. He remembered thinking, "Well, you know, I'm broke. I'll go down there and do that a couple of years and then I'll come back."
He stayed for 36 years.
On arrival at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Aaron was assigned as a flight controller responsible for the spacecraft’s power, life support system, and communication systems. Despite no formal training or advanced degrees, Aaron proved to be an engineering wizard. For some reason he was able to understand the complicated electronic systems in ways even the spaceship designers didn’t.
By 1969, Aaron was in mission control for Apollo XII. Seconds into the flight, the spacecraft was struck by lightning, and the guidance system went haywire. Both ground and flight crews were baffled, and the flight director decided to abort the moon mission. But Aaron recalled that years earlier he had observed similar garbled navigation data during a test. Other engineers hadn’t noticed the anomaly. Aaron not only stowed the information away in his mind, but he also proposed a fix in case it ever happened during a live flight.
Just as Apollo XII was about to be scrubbed, John Aaron radioed, “Flight, try SCE to aux." Neither his fellow engineers in mission control nor the astronauts in the capsule knew what he was talking about. This command wasn’t even in the manual. Few of them had even heard of the little-known Signal Conditioning Electronics (SCE) system which converted
electronic data into formats useful for the rest of the systems. Aaron had never considered that a lightning strike would have such an effect. But when he saw the strange readings, something clicked.
Most of mission control looked at each other confused while Apollo 12 mission commander Pete Conrad piped up first with a “what the hell is that?!” Astronaut Alan Bean located the SCE switch on the spacecraft’s control panel and flipped it to “aux,” or the auxiliary setting. That reset the system, and they were back in business, headed for the moon.
Aaron’s ingenuity made the difference on the bad-luck Apollo 13 mission as well. He’s the guy who saved the day with the brilliant power-up sequence you see in Ron Howard’s movie of the same name. But that’s a story for another day.
In all, John Aaron had a long and successful career in space from the Gemini program to Skylab and the shuttle program. For his initiative and coolness when lives were on the line, John Aaron earned the respect of scientists and astronauts alike, earning the distinguished title "Steely-eyed Missile Man."

John Aaron wasn’t the only Oklahoman involved in the Gemini program. In fact, Weatherford native Tom Stafford had his own high-stakes moment in space.
Originally backup crew for Gemini IX, Stafford and Gene Cernan were thrust into the mission after a tragic plane crash killed the primary crew.
Despite facing a failed docking target in orbit, his calm
leadership helped turn the mission into a critical step toward the moon landing. Later, Stafford boarded the Apollo 10 mission. For those interested in learning more about Tom Stafford, check out his autobiography, “We Have Capture: Tom Stafford and the Space Race” from the library’s special collections department.

"The
Man Who Died Seven Times"
Yasuhiko Nishizawa
Available formats: Book, eBook, Kindle, eAudiobook
Sixteen-year-old Hisataro Oba faces a daunting challenge: solving his grandfather's murder while stuck in a time loop during the holidays with his bickering family in this translated novel.
During a New Year’s celebration, Hisataro watches as family members vie to be named heir to his grandfather’s multimilliondollar restaurant empire. However, when he finds his grandfather murdered and himself stuck in a time loop, he decides he is the only one who can solve the murder and save his grandfather. As he gathers clues about each of his family members and begins to uncover family secrets, he finds his efforts frustrated as his grandfather keeps turning up dead.
Despite the subject matter, the narrator keeps his tone dryly humorous as he pokes fun at his family members and himself in equal turn. If you like stories about time loops, murder mysteries that keep it light, or young protagonists who are wise beyond their years, this book is a fun pick.

"About My Mother: True Stores of a Horse-Crazy Daughter and Her Baseball-Obsessed Mother: A Memoir"
Peggy Rowe
Available formats: eBook, Kindle, Book, eAudiobook
Sometimes we might wish our moms were a little less embarrassing. Sometimes they might wish their daughters were a little more ladylike. Sometimes our different interests make it hard to understand each other.
In “About My Mother,” Peggy Rowe invites us into her life and humorously shares the stories that shape the relationship with her mother Thelma. We hear about Peggy’s childhood and the years when nothing else mattered but getting a horse. We also catch a glimpse of darker days, when the only thing to pull Thelma out of a depression was the Baltimore Orioles.
What you’ll uncover in these “loosely connected stories about a woman no one has ever heard of” is that relationships between mothers and daughters are complex, but also simply beautiful.

MYSTERY NIS
Geena Rocero
Available formats: Book, eAudiobook
For all the dazzling glamour of “Horse Barbie,” author Geena Rocero never strays from the emotional core of her life story. Rocero paints a lively picture of her youth on the busy streets of Manila, even sharing cramped spaces with other pageant queens. She eventually immigrated to San Francisco and worked at the Macy’s beauty counter. Her story is one of found family, self-discovery, and bravery.
"Horse Barbie,” an epithet once used to admonish her beauty on the pageant stage, becomes a key part of Rocero’s identity. It becomes a guiding spirit that helps her navigate all the trials of being trans, femme, and Filipina American.
What has continued to follow me after finishing this memoir is the kindness and warmth of Rocero’s parents. Rocero’s portrait is an honest one, detailing her parents’ struggles as well as their unfailing, unconditional love towards Rocero and her siblings. Endlessly affirming, caring and supportive, Rocero’s mother counts herself lucky to name her child not once, but twice.

" I, Medusa"
Ayana Gray
Available formats: Book, ebook, eAudiobook
“I, Medusa” weaves her mythos into a fantastic fictional piece that explores family dynamics and the complexities of love. The story unfolds into four parts: Mortal, Mistress, Monster and Myth. Each part unfolds a new aspect of Meddy’s life and the expectations of those around her.
Medusa is getting ready to be married for political gain before she takes matters into her own hands. She is invited to become an acolyte at Athena’s temple where her skin color and her hair mark her as inferior. She challenges that label and flourishes in her new role but slowly starts to realize the inherent danger of being a human amongst her immortal family. Medusa catches the eye of Poseidon, and, on one awful night, learns that those who wield the power shape the story. Those actions led to the culmination of the story: her snake hair and stone gaze. Medusa learns how to use her newfound abilities to inspire fear to those who view mortals as objects.
“I, Medusa” sparks your soul and tells a powerful story about oppression and the resilience of a survivor’s spirit. Grab your tissues, because this book will bring about fierce emotions.

Dig Into Summer Reading
By Zoe Elrod, Internal Communications Coordinator
For 94 years, the Metropolitan Library System has encouraged Oklahomans of all ages to keep their reading skills sharp over the summer with the Summer Reading program. Every year, Summer Reading fosters a community of readers and a lifelong love of learning. For all readers, keeping up with the reading habit helps to build empathy and strengthen critical thinking skills. This year’s Summer Reading theme, “Unearth a Story,” invites readers to dig into a good book, uncover hidden histories, or explore the past. The theme serves as a reminder for all the stories waiting to be uncovered.
Summer Reading is a big deal for little ones! It boosts their pre-reading and writing skills while showing parents how talking, reading, singing, and playing all play a part in building literacy.
For school-aged children, the program helps combat the “summer slide,” when students can lose academic progress over the break. Research shows children who do not engage in summer learning may fall up to two years behind their peers by sixth grade. Summer Reading keeps learning on track by encouraging kids to read for enjoyment and explore topics that interest them. Participants often build confidence in their reading skills while maintaining the progress they made during the school year.
But Summer Reading isn’t just for kids. Adults can join in and earn prizes while enjoying books, audiobooks, graphic novels and more. Teens can also get involved by volunteering at the library and celebrating their efforts at the end of the summer. For more information on volunteering, visit metrolibrary.org/volunteer.
What to Expect This Year
600-Point Goal for All Readers: Every minute of reading counts for one point. Participants can earn up to 100 points through literacy activities and continue reading beyond the goal for additional drawing prize entries.
Beanstack App: Readers can track their progress easily using Beanstack. The app offers a reading session timer, barcode scanning for book logging, and family account management.
Prizes for All Ages: Once readers reach the 600-point milestone, they can choose from two youth books, one adult book, or a Metro Library baseball cap. This year, readers will also receive coupons from our partners Pizza Hut and SusieCakes and entry into the grand prize drawing. Prize pickup runs from June 1 to July 31.
Prize Drawings: This year, the prizes include wireless headphones, a 10-day pass to the YMCA, and a play set for young children. Anyone who has earned a 600-point badge (and has their account linked to their library card) by July 31 is eligible for the entry for the drawing prize.
Grand Prize: The adult grand prize is an Apple iPad and a one-year household YMCA membership. The grand prize for teens is an Apple iPad plus one-year YMCA membership, and for children, the grand prize is an Apple iPad plus certificate for Youth Sports Registration or Group Swim Lesson. For young children, the grand prize is a prize pack of early childhood toy sets and a certificate for Youth Sports Registration or Group Swim Lesson.
Do I need a library card to participate? No, anyone can join to participate and win goal prizes. However, to qualify for a drawing prize, you must have a valid library card in good standing on your Beanstack account. What counts as reading? Books, audiobooks, magazines, comics, blogs, and other online content all qualify. Caregivers reading aloud to children can count the time for both them and their child.
What if I don’t want to use the app? Paper logs and verbal confirmations are welcome alternatives.
Summer Reading runs from June 1 to July 31. Learn more and pre-register at metrolibrary.org/ summerreading. Summer Reading June 1- July 31
Reading theBetweenPanels
By Emily Williams, Teen Services Manager
For most of the 20th century, comics and graphic novels were thought by many to be “less than” other kinds of literature when it came to quality. Often underestimated, comics are in fact a modern form of sequential art, a vital and enduring way of storytelling with roots that stretch back to ancient civilizations.
When we pair illustrations with text to tell a linear story, we are training ourselves to literally read between the lines, interpreting what happens between panels. This intuiting takes the juxtaposition of words and pictures to the next level, as reading comics develops a unique set of cognitive skills— engaging the brain in ways no other medium can.
Comic book readers rely on context and cues to increase their reading comprehension, as these stories often have a visual language all their own, including different kinds of transitions, symbolism, and panel structure. Readers need to understand abstraction, as they make an effort to interpret and believe what is represented artistically on the page. This increases our overall reading comprehension and visual literacy skills!
Far from the one-note superhero stories of the 1940s, comics today represent a vast array of genres for all ages. From graphic memoirs to graphic medicine, comics tell all different kinds of stories for every kind of reader! Looking to add more comics to your personal collection? Comic shops everywhere are celebrating Free Comic Book Day on May 2 by distributing limited numbers of free titles.
Comics today are a huge industry and a foundation for all
kinds of pop culture and media. Help us celebrate these roots at GeekCon, coming to the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library on May 9. Escape rooms, crafts, mini-panels, cosplay fashion shows, and more await you at this full day convention for all ages. You won’t want to miss it!
