new info
This winter has been a strong reminder of what our library system represents. Thousands joined the Winter Reading challenge, and branches hosted Black History Month programs on topics such as the Katz Drug Store sit-ins and the life of Ralph Ellison. Meanwhile, hundreds visited “Small Wonders: Insects in Focus” at the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library. Seeing guests of all ages explore the atrium exhibit has been inspiring and a reminder that the library is more than books (though we have plenty in print and digital formats); it’s a place where curiosity thrives and everyone is welcome to gather, learn and create. “Small Wonders” remains on display through March 16.
We’re excited to keep that energy going. Beginning April 1, the Downtown Library will host “Nature’s Open Book,” a traveling exhibition from Skeletons: Museum of Osteology, with additional displays at libraries across the system. With skeleton specimens, special programs, live music and even a special author visit, it’s another opportunity to explore science, art and learning together.
March is also Women’s History Month. Our libraries are celebrating with programs highlighting the achievements and experiences of women across many fields, including a focus on life on the Great Plains during the Great Depression. And with Spring Break around the corner, families can stay engaged through our Experience Passes to local museums and handson activities at our libraries. You’ll also see us celebrating the Route 66 centennial throughout the year with traveling displays exploring Mother Road stories, from roadside dining to the history behind names you might recognize from our own branches.
Every day, we provide access to technology, makerspaces, book clubs, digital collections, and more. We also provide services like Library by Mail for guests 65 and older, and initiatives such as Excel High School that create opportunities for adults to earn a high school diploma. However you use your library, we are proud to be here for you.
If you’d like to help bring programs like these to life, join us April 9 for Literary Voices, featuring author Jonathan Franzen. The annual event supports the future of Metro Library services and helps expand early literacy efforts, including Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for Oklahoma County children.
Thank you for being part of a community that values reading, discovery and connection. I look forward to what this season brings to our library system.

Literary Voices® 2026: An Evening with
By Zoe Elrod, Internal Communications Coordinator
For more than two decades, Literary Voices® has brought nationally recognized authors to Oklahoma City while raising vital support for the Metropolitan Library System (MLS). Presented by the Library Endowment Trust, the annual dinner celebrates literature while investing in our community’s future.
Erin Cowan, a Literary Voices® committee member and teacher, has seen firsthand the impact of public libraries and values working alongside others who share that commitment.
“After attending Literary Voices® a few times as a patron, I honestly fell in love with the event,” she said. “When I later joined the Library Endowment Trust board, I knew I wanted to focus on this event. It brings together so much of what I care about: literature, community and support for our library system.”
This year’s event takes place April 9 at 7 p.m. at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club and will feature novelist and essayist Jonathan Franzen, promising thoughtful conversation and insight into the creative process.
“Honestly, I just love being in a room full of people who
care about the literary future of our city,” Cowan said. “I always leave feeling energized.”
Literary Voices® supports programs, services and collections at Metro Library. Proceeds will strengthen childhood literacy initiatives, outreach for older adults, staff education scholarships and community programming.
“I feel really honored to be able to help support childhood literacy causes,” Cowan said. “Literacy is a key indicator of success for children, and every dollar raised for the children within the Metropolitan Library System is an investment in our future.”
A major focus is expanding Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Oklahoma County with the Friends of the Library. The program mails free, age-appropriate books each month to children from birth to age five, helping families build home libraries and early reading habits.
“Childhood literacy is the foundation of good community work,” said Tara Golden, a librarian at Belle Isle Library who leads the successful children’s program Wiggly Wednesdays. “Reading doesn’t just set us up for academic success. It sets us up for life success.”
"Childhood literacy is the foundation of good community work."
Tara Golden, Librarian
Yet many children still lack access to books at home; an equity gap that Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library helps address. To learn more, visit supportmls.org/dolly.
“Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has some really exciting data about the emerging literacy skills of the children enrolled in the program, and I'm thrilled that our children have access to not only this program, but every Metro Library literacy initiative,” Cowan said.
Across the county, Metro Library supports early learning through storytimes, music programs, movement activities and welcoming spaces for families.
The evening also includes the Lee B. Brawner Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing outstanding contributions to libraries and literacy in Oklahoma.
“Libraries count on the dedication of so many generous people, and I love being able to celebrate that,” she said.
Since 1986, the Library Endowment Trust has helped MLS grow and thrive. Literary Voices®, the largest fundraiser for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library locally, offers a meaningful way to turn a love of reading into lasting community impact.
About Jonathan Franzen: AwardWinning Novelist and Essayist
Jonathan Franzen is among the most influential literary voices of his generation. After early success in nonfiction, his 2001 novel “The Corrections” became an international bestseller, won the National Book Award for Fiction and, in 2024, ranked number two on The New York Times Book Review’s list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.
Later novels continued that acclaim. “Freedom” debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list, and “Purity” and “Crossroads” (the first volume of “A Key to All Mythologies”) were also national bestsellers, with “Crossroads” earning numerous Book of the Year honors.
In addition to six novels, Franzen has written four nonfiction works, and his essays have appeared in The New Yorker, The Guardian and National Geographic. He is also a longtime advocate for bird conservation.
The evening will be moderated by Professor Rob Roensch of Oklahoma City University.
“Jonathan Franzen has been one of my favorite contemporary writers for years, so I’m genuinely excited to hear him speak,” Cowan said. “I think it’s going to be especially fun to hear him in conversation with Oklahoma author and OCU professor Rob Roensch.”
Cowan first read “The Corrections” when it was published.
“It made a huge impact on me,” she said. “I actually reread it recently to see if it still resonates, and it absolutely does. It’s such a thoughtful look at family dynamics and the complicated motivations that shape our lives.”
About Franzen’s work, Roensch said, “I think he’s a great American novelist, and he’s the sort of writer who, when you read his books, you feel like the characters are real and fully human.”
Mark your calendar for a conversation with Jonathan Franzen April 9. For details and tickets, visit literaryvoices.org.
America’s Mother Road Takes Center Stage
By Zoe Elrod, Internal Communications Coordinator
As Route 66 approaches its 100th anniversary, the Metropolitan Library System is gearing up for a yearlong celebration. Through take-home kits and a traveling panel exhibit, our libraries are inviting the community to explore America's most iconic road.
The Route 66 traveling panel exhibit will visit library locations throughout the year, highlighting lesser-known stories from the past. The display explores Oklahoma’s role in shaping Route 66 through innovation and community. Panels feature subjects from the rise of standardized fast food like the Oklahoma City–born Chicken in the Rough to influential figures such as Cyrus Avery, the “Father of Route 66.” Panels also spotlight the historic Threatt Family Filling Station, a rare Black-owned stop that welcomed travelers during segregation and the 1928 “Bunion Derby,” a cross-country foot race won by an Oklahoman that captured the nation’s imagination and followed much of Route 66.
In addition to the traveling panels, Metro Library will host a variety of Route 66-themed programs throughout the year, including musical performances, hands-on activities and special events for all ages.
The Route 66 Adventure Passport Take-Home Kits, available at all Metro Library locations in March, include a passport that guides participants through a few local Oklahoma historic Route 66 stops.
Travelers can visit locations in person and add stickers along the way, or explore virtually by researching each stop from home, making the experience accessible no matter how you travel. Available while supplies last, the kits offer a playful way to engage with Oklahoma history while encouraging curiosity and exploration.
A full schedule of offerings is available at metrolibrary.org/ route66.

"We Did Ok, Kid: A Memoir"
Anthony Hopkins
Available formats: Book, Large Print, eBook, eAudiobook, Kindle
There is no question that Anthony Hopkins is a brilliant actor, capable of playing many roles, both in film and on stage. This autobiography is also worth reading to learn more about the multiaward-winning actor. You may have seen some of his more famous movies, but he’s been acting for decades in films and plays and was knighted in 1993.
Hopkins wasn’t very successful at school and wanted to prove to his parents that he could succeed. Born in Port Talbot, Wales, a steelworking town, he discovered his love and talent for acting and his ability to recite poetry and lines from memory. Despite his working-class background, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He admits and reflects on mistakes he’s made, including his alcoholism, two divorces, his estranged relationship with his only child, and what he says is the inherited tendency to be cold in his feelings. Because of his lifestyle before he stopped drinking, he notes that he shouldn’t be alive, but he decided to stop drinking because he wanted to live.
There isn’t a lot of Hollywood gossip and “dirt” in this book, but rather more insight into his acting process and life. Photographs are included, as well as some of his favorite poetry.

"Legendary Frybread Drive-In: Intertribal Stories"
Edited by Cynthia Leitich Smith
Available formats: Book
YFICTION LEG
A magical restaurant accessible to teens of every tribal Nation, Sandy June's Legendary Frybread Drive-In feeds you just what you need, when you need it. In this anthology, multiple stories deliver characters who are lost in some way to a comforting, surprising, and sometimes confusing spot. There they are served up traditional favorites, refreshing drinks or food just the way their beloved relatives made it. Although the gold and green neon sign each character sees is the same, their experiences at the drive-in are all different, from impromptu concerts and movie nights to family reunions and lost loves rediscovered.
This collection provides perspectives from nearly 20 Native writers around a common theme: food brings us together. In January, this title won the prestigious Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature, plus the American Indian Youth Literature Award for Best Young Adult Book. The full power of “Legendary Frybread Drive-In,” however, comes after reading, when viewing the short stories as a collective invitation -- to learn, to share and to be welcomed.

"Atmosphere"
Taylor Jenkins Reid
Available formats: Book, Large Print, Playaway, eBook, Kindle, eAudiobook
Becoming an astronaut is rare. Confronting who you truly are is even rarer.
Joan, a physics professor, does just that in “Atmosphere,” by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The dual-timeline novel moves between a 1984 shuttle disaster and Joan’s NASA training several years earlier.
The looming catastrophe delivers plenty of tension, but it’s far from the only challenge Joan faces. Alongside grueling astronaut training, she navigates a complicated relationship with her sister, fierce competition among her peers and a secret romance that ultimately changes her life.
Set against the backdrop of the 1980s—when a woman’s role was still largely defined as wife and mother—Joan and her fellow female astronauts are determined to break free from expectations. But to soar, they must play by outdated rules and hide their truest selves.
With compelling characters and pacing that accelerate with each chapter, Reid reminds us that courage takes many forms. For Joan, going to space was an easy choice. Discovering and embracing her identity was far more terrifying.
“Atmosphere,” isn’t just about a journey beyond Earth. It’s about the lifelong journey of self-discovery. Poignant, introspective and illuminating, the impact it leaves behind is truly out of this world.

Getting to revisit my childhood favorites as a children's librarian has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career thus far. I like to revisit the classics in a graphic novel format because they're quicker to read and easily digestible. One of the most recent classic graphic novel reads was “Anne of Green Gables: The Graphic Novel.”
As a young girl, I instantly fell in love with Anne, as she reminded me of myself: a little messy, but strong willed and stuck in her ways, the best way to be a young girl, if you ask me. The story follows the novel pretty closely, breaking down the important bits in beautiful narrations. I found myself getting misty eyed and very attached to Anne all over again while reading. It only took me about an hour to two hours to read, so it is the perfect afternoon read with a cup of tea and a cat cozied up in your lap!

FICTION REI
Hidden History: Depression-Era Voices Found in Library Archive
By Meg Nance Coker, Special Collections Librarian
While it was nearly a hundred years ago, the Great Depression is unsettlingly familiar when we take a good look at it. We recall our elders' memories of their lives during those years and think of all the work it takes to pay our bills. Conversations then and now loop in circles around what we should do about poverty and what we owe to the members of our communities who lack day-to-day necessities and the proverbial “bootstraps” to pull up on.
When I think of the 1930s and methods used to rebalance our economy, I tend to think of the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps. But another part of the New Deal was a national network of camps to house and employ the thousands who had nowhere to work or live and as a result would go from place to place following temporary and seasonal jobs. These neighbors aren’t usually part of our local stories besides statistics, editorials and warnings against traveling salesmen. Yet they are a legitimate part of our history. And now we can read some of their very own words.
While inventorying the magazines and newsletters of yesteryear in our archival collections, we came across an odd bundle of about a dozen issues from 1934-1935 titled The Sooner Trail. They’re made of plain sheets of lettersized paper stapled together along one side, mimeographed copies of hand-typed text, hand-drawn illustrations and the bold tagline of being “the voice of the Oklahoma transients.”
Each issue contains editorials, cartoons, poetry, community news, and more, all submitted and put together by residents of Oklahoma transient camps.
Homemade publications like these were created by and for a community that otherwise might not have been published or remembered. They offered more than just your average organizational newsletter and were given out for free. Nowadays, we’d call them zines (think of them as homemade magazines).
The term “zine” was coined in the early 1940s, but zines themselves go back much further. Anyone can make a zine about anything (silly or serious) with pretty much any materials. In the Oklahoma Underground Music Archive and the DoodlePunk Zine Archive, we have zines from different decades discussing current events, music, books, television shows, anime and more.
We have the only known copies of The Sooner Trail, a priceless insight into those who lived in Oklahoma’s transient camps. They weren’t the only ones reading “The Sooner Trail,” though – local newspapers would occasionally pick up and reprint stories they liked from its pages, like a nonagenarian (a person who is 90-99 years old) who was staying in the
camp hospital after being hit by a car who spun yarns about playing marbles with a young Abraham Lincoln and being close friends with Jesse and Frank James. The Sooner Trail also gained recognition as one of the top three publications of its type across the country.
The Sooner Trail wasn’t the only contribution made by residents of Oklahoma transient camps though. They made a much more literal impact on our local landscape. According to an article from The Oklahoma News in June 1935, workers from the Oklahoma City transient camp contributed at least $500,000 worth of labor on “city improvements and beautification.” In today’s currency, that translates to about $11.8 million. Their labor was mostly used to create walkways, roads, and small dams, but there is one particularly visible project where we are still enjoying the fruits of their labor today: Will Rogers Park.
The last issue we have of “The Sooner Trail” is from the middle of 1935, but there may have been a few more issues after that. As far as we can tell, The Sooner Trail came to the same abrupt end as the transient camps themselves. A change of policy was announced in early 1936 to close the camps, instructing residents to either find paid lodgings and employment or move to a different state. The Oklahoma City camp was closed in April 1936; that summer, the site and its surroundings (planned by F. Donald Gordon and developed by residents of the transient camp) became a city park, which we now call Will Rogers Park.
If you would like to read The Sooner Trail, you are more than welcome to come by in person (just let us know ahead of time) or read them online via our Digital Collections by scanning the QR code, or visiting https://bit.ly/SoonerTrail.

March at the Library: Honoring Women Who Shaped History, Culture and Innovation
By Zoe Elrod, Internal Communications Coordinator
March is Women’s History Month, and the Metropolitan Library System is celebrating with take-home kits, displays, programs and more. This month’s programming includes the series “Gettin’ By By Makin’ Do,” focused on women’s lives on the Great Plains during the Great Depression. Join four library locations in March for presentations with Dr. Sara Jane Richter.
After the stock market crash of 1929, life changed radically for many Americans. Funds and food were hard to find, and, for those living in small towns or working ranches and farms on the Great Plains, life became harder than ever.
Based on her research, Dr. Richter’s presentation offers a detailed look at how women carried on through desperate times. Regardless of families’ financial straits, they still had to eat, clothe themselves, doctor their sick, clean house and work. Making food stretch, shoveling dust and resewing worn clothing, all while suffering through summer heat, were just some of the responsibilities that fell to women. Through these events, Dr. Richter provides insight into how people endured one of the most difficult chapters in American history.
Join us for the “Gettin’ By By Makin’ Do" events across library locations this month:
• March 7, 11 a.m., at the Edmond Library
• March 7, 2 p.m., at the Patience S. Latting Northwest Library
• March 28, 10 a.m., at the Warr Acres Library
• March 28, 2 p.m., at the Southern Oaks Library
In addition to this series, join us for a series of engaging events that highlight the creativity, resilience and impact of women throughout history. This month includes a program with OKC Ballet featuring five Oklahoma women who broke barriers in ballet and an event focused on the artwork of Elizabeth Catlett. Locations are also hosting creative writing events and several programs exploring women who have made strides in astronomy, engineering and space travel.
