Stop by the MRL Courtyard Patio and discover the 2025 Indiana Early Literacy Firefly Award nominees. This five-week outdoor series will give children that are 0-5 years of age a chance to vote for their favorite nominee. Each week one of the nominated books will be explored and a grab-and-go activity provided. On July 11, 2025, we'll hold a drawing for everyone who participated in our Firefly Friday programs. One lucky winner will take home all five nominated books for the 2025 Indiana Early Literacy Firefly Award! Schedule of Books: June 6, - Are You a Monster? by Guilherme Karsten June 13, - Bing! Bang!
