Welcome to a special Staff Saturday! Today, we are getting to know our newest staff member, Michelle! Michelle has been with Mustang Public Library since September as our Youth Services Librarian and has worked in libraries for 13 years! Her favorite authors are Pat Conroy, Fredrik Backman, and TJ Klune. She enjoys painting, drawing, and writing. Michelle's favorite place to be is wherever her son is. Her favorite snack is anything chocolate and her drink is Summer Moon coffee. Make sure to say hi to our newest member the next time you visit us!
Last evening, a reception to thank all of the volunteers that serve the City of Mustang was conducted at Town Center. A total of 66 volunteers attended the event.
We appreciate all of our volunteers - whether at the Animal Welfare Center, Adult Activities Center, Parks and Recreation, or Library. We are thankful for the chaplains for the Fire and Police Department, as well as those that serve on the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, Library Board, or Parks and Recreation Board.
You help make our City and the services we offer better everyday!
Be sure to stop by the Veterans Day Ceremony in the Great Room at Town Center at 11:00 AM.
Thank a Veteran today and every day!
A big thank you to the Mustang High School National Honor Society for their generous donation to our Courtesy Cart! Located in the Teen Zone, it provides study supplies, toiletries, menstrual products, and limited food to 6th-12th grade students. Your support means so much!
Thank you to our Mustang Starbucks for their donation of prizes for our different programs!
Happy 249th Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps!

Happy Halloween from the City of Mustang's Finance Department!
Halloween is an evening where many families enjoy time together going door to door and walking through their neighborhoods. For years now children have made wonderful memories scaring friends and digging through piles of candy they received. In order to make this Halloween another fun memory, it is important that everyone plan for the weather and prepare to remain safe as they walk through their neighborhoods, especially as the sunlight disappears. It is always a good idea to include reflective material within the clothing/costumes your children wear, and it is important to have flashlights illuminated as you walk.
It is important to know that October is National Pedestrian Safety Month. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a much greater percentage of pedestrian fatalities occur during nighttime (78%) compared to daylight hours (19%) and dusk/dawn (4%). Please pay attention to your surroundings, and watch for traffic in all directions, as you take your family for an evening of fun.
Come see Ms. Sheila and Ms. Paige at the Family Community Engagement Night at MHS!

Just a reminder that there is no Preschool or Mother Goose Story Time this week.
Just 45 years from now on this date in 2069 at 6 PM, the time capsule that was buried in 2019 in front of Town Center when the City of Mustang celebrated its 50th Birthday will be opened. Who plans to be there?
