The Wesson Public Library and Wesson Friends of the Library say they are excited to present their Summer Reading 2026 program, themed “Unearth A Story.” Registration opens June 10.

The program kicks off on June 10 with a visit from a Hattiesburg Zoo representative who will introduce participants to reptiles. On July 9, Sabrina Cummings from the Mississippi Natural Science Museum will present on paleontology. July 16 brings a special appearance from the MHP Mounted Unit, featuring horses.

“We are very excited about our Summer Reading Programs,” said librarian Marilyn Britt. “The programs complement the theme of this year — Unearth a Story — and we are also commemorating and celebrating the 250th Year of America.”

Participants must submit their reading logs by July 20. The program wraps up on July 23 with Awards Day, featuring special guests George and Martha Washington and a Story Walk.
