Loud Library

Please join us for the return of our after school program: Loud Library.

We will meet every Tuesday and Thursday that school is in session starting from August 15th, 2019 and running concurrent with the schedule of Wynnewood Public Schools.

Loud Library is a time where kids of all ages can come to the library to have semi-structured play, participate in crafts, and have snacks for an hour and a half after school is out.

This hour and a half is meant to break the stereotype that libraries are places where you must whisper and be quiet at all times. We encourage kids to learn about the library services and world around them in the best way they know how, and sometimes that means getting a little loud. We hope you will join us this school year at Loud Library!

Smart Meter Public Discussion

Installation and implementation of Wynnewood’s new smart meter system is just around the corner. The City of Wynnewood would like to offer an opportunity for residents to obtain more information about the upcoming changes.

Some people have expressed caution due to the belief that smart meters produce dangerous levels of health-harming emissions.

In response to the growing concern, Mayor Harold Gregory has provided us with information concerning RF waves and their relation to smart meters.

There will be a public forum at the next city council meeting dedicated to the new smart meters.

The meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 12th at 7:00pm in the Wynnewood High School cafeteria.

We hope to see you there.

What can you learn about a tree from examining its rings?

What can annular growth rings tell you about one of the oldest trees in Wynnewood? As many of you know, the wind storm last month caused us to lose one of the cottonwood trees in the city park. Mayor Harold Gregory secured a section of the tree’s trunk in order for us to learn more about the life of this tree. The trunk is currently sitting on the north side of the road that runs through the middle of the park. There has been information posted on what to look for when examining the annular growth rings of the tree. The rings tell you much more about the tree than just its age! Count the rings, notice their patterns, and report your findings on www.facebook.com/wynnewoodpubliclibrary. Let’s all work together to see what we can find out about this piece of Wynnewood History!
