Celebrating 100 Years with a Visit to the Lebanon-Wilson County Library!

As part of our journey to visit 100 businesses, we visited another proud member: The Lebanon-Wilson County Library! Our Library offers an incredible array of opportunities for children and families, especially during the summer months!

One of the exciting summer opportunities at the Library were generously donated by the Kiwanis Club of Lebanon: STEAM To-Go Kits! These kits cater to a variety of interests and include hands-on learning activities and games. They are perfect for keeping young minds engaged and entertained while learning something new. Kits are now available and can be checked out for 2 weeks at a time.

The Summer Reading Program is also set to launch, with signups starting on May 28. Children from Kindergarten through grade 6 can complete 20 books to earn a free pass to the Wilson County Fair – Tennessee State Fair. For younger children who haven’t yet started kindergarten, there is an equally exciting reward — a free swimming pass to the Jimmy Floyd Family Center.

For movie lovers, the Library’s collection of “Binge Box” movie sets is a must-see. These boxes feature hand-selected movies that follow a series or a theme, making it easy to enjoy a movie marathon. Whether you’re in a mood for mystery films, teen dramas, or a Will Ferrell comedy spree, the Library has you covered!

Our visit to the Lebanon-Wilson County Library was truly inspiring. We are so grateful for the warm welcome and are excited to see these enriching programs in our community. Be sure to check out these fantastic resources and join in on the fun this summer!
