Jackson/Hinds Library System

Everyone had a great time “Unearthing a Story” at the Jackson Medical Mall for the Medgar Evers Library program on Tuesday, June 9, 2026! 🦖📚

Our special guest, Mr. Wilmott from The Dinosaur Experience, brought excitement, adventure, and discovery to all who attended. From fascinating dinosaur facts to interactive fun, participants enjoyed an unforgettable educational experience that sparked curiosity and imagination.

Thank you to Mr. Wilmott and to everyone who joined us for this prehistoric adventure. We loved seeing so many smiling faces as we explored the fascinating world of dinosaurs together!
