Samantha Graven, Director of the Parsons Public Library, spoke to the Rotary Club of Parsons on all the projects and updates that occurred in 2025 and goals for 2026 during a recent meeting. The Parsons Public Library was recently named a nationally certified Family Play Space. Family Play Spaces are part of early childhood program offered in public libraries that provide safe, engaging, developmentally appropriate library services to help young children and their families feel welcome and supported, according to Graven.
