The Oklahoma Standard - It's Our Turn

On April 19, 1995, the Oklahoma City bombing shook the heart of our community, leaving a deep mark on the lives of those directly impacted and the world beyond. As we commemorate this tragic event, our library offers a space for reflection, healing, and education through a curated collection of books, displays and take-home-kits. We honor the memory of the lives lost and the resilience that followed, exemplified by the Oklahoma Standard — a pledge to be kind, helpful, and compassionate in the face of adversity. Through our shared commitment to this standard, we continue to strengthen the bonds of our community and uphold the values that make us stronger together. Join us in remembering and embracing the enduring spirit of Oklahoma City.

During this program's duration the Warr Acres Library will be collecting small stuffed animals or blankets (new or new handmade - Time to put those new skills you've learned to work!!) to be given to the Warr Acres Police and Fire Departments for distribution to people in distress that are being assisted by those departments.
