On the first day of Fall Break, Mansfield Library hosted an engaging session focused on Smokey Bear and the vital importance of preventing forest fires. Participants learned how forest fires can ignite from various sources, including lightning strikes, unattended campfires, and discarded cigarettes. The event emphasized the need for awareness and responsible actions, such as properly extinguishing fires and adhering to local regulations.

The Smokey Bear reading challenge was introduced, providing a fun way to engage with these critical topics while promoting a love for reading. For more upcoming events, visit the library or call 318-872-6100.
