The Purcell Public Library will host bestselling author and expert in child development, Dr. Michele Borba, as she discusses her book, “Thrivers: Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Thrive.”
Data shows that today’s youth are the loneliest, most stressed, and risk-averse on record. Though well-educated, they are failing to launch in real life. So how can we teach them to be mentally strong and more successful?
Dr. Borba empowers educators and parents to help kids thrive in today’s fast-paced, digital-driven, often uncertain world. Through her research, she found the difference between those who struggle and those who succeed comes down to the personal traits that set Thrivers apart and set them up for happiness and a greater potential later in life.
She offers practical, actionable ways to develop these Thrivers traits for kids and shows you how to teach them to cope today so that they can flourish tomorrow in school and life. These are lessons that will last a lifetime.
This is a virtual program and registration with an email address is required by calling 405-527-5546 or online at pioneerlibrarysystem.org.

This is a super easy dessert and delivers great flavor!
Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
12 vanilla wafer cookies (I use Nilla Wafers)
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
21 oz. can cherry pie filling
Place softened cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl; mix with an electric mixer until just combined. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Line the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with foil cupcake cups. Place a vanilla wafer cookie in the bottom of each cupcake cup.
Fill each cup 2/3 to ¾-full with cream cheese mixture, dividing the batter evenly between the 12 cups. (I use a large cookie scoop.)
Bake at 350℉ for 16-18 minutes until set, with just a small bit of wiggle in the center.
Cool completely. Top each mini cheesecake with cherry pie filling and chill. Store in the refrigerator.
