Welcome to our Rainbow Spirit Week! The Millhopper Branch started their own spirit week and we welcome everyone to join us!
For the past few years, the Millhopper Branch staff have been quietly celebrating Spirit Weeks behind the scenes—bringing a splash of color and a dash of fun to our workdays. But this time, we’re turning up the volume and inviting YOU to join the celebration!
Introducing Rhythms of the Rainbow—a weeklong event where color meets music in a lively celebration of creativity and community. Each day, our staff will dress in a different color of the rainbow, paired with a musical theme to match the mood. From groovy greens to soulful blues, we’re ready to dance through the stacks—and we want our patrons to be part of the fun!
Come dressed in the day’s featured color, share your favorite tunes or books, and enjoy the rhythm and joy that makes the Millhopper community so special. Whether you're here for a quick visit or a full afternoon, we’d love to see you join in the colorful, musical spirit of the week.
The American Library Association has a Rainbow Book Month, learn more about it on their website.
