We are sad to announce that our Youth Services Librarian, Ms Alaina will be leaving us. We wish her the best in her new endeavors. Her last day is this Friday if you would like to come say goodbye!
Today is #CityHallSelfie Day...it is a thing! Organized by ELGL, City Hall Selfie Day is a celebration of public service showcasing pride in local government institutions. This is its 9th year.
Unfortunately, for our City Manager, #CityHallSelfie Day is also #PickonCityManager Day in Mustang as all have made sure to include photos and cut-outs of him in their group's selfies. Even OKC's Rumble joined in on the fun...or is that the City Manager?

This afternoon, a retirement reception was held for Ms.Jill Heck, Animal Welfare Supervisor. Jill - originally hired in 2012 - at one time served as the City's only Animal Welfare Officer. Over the course of the next 12 years (give or take a few) Jill helped grow the department l, grow the facility, and cared for hundreds of animals, fostering many, and finding homes for a majority of them. She will be missed but has certainly earned this time to relax with a new grandchild.
If you ever adopted an animal from the Mustang Animal Welfare Center, we invite you to share a photo of them to help create a beautiful memory book for Jill.
Pictured with Jill is Police Chief Mike Wallace.
