Community-selected flavor “Where the Wild Flavors Are” debuts February 13

The St. Johns County Public Library System (SJCPLS) is partnering with Mayday Ice Cream to celebrate Library Lovers’ Month in February through a sweet community collaboration.

Beginning Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, Mayday Ice Cream will serve an original ice cream flavor imagined by a library staff member and selected through a public vote. The winning flavor, “Where the Wild Flavors Are,” features wild blueberry and dark chocolate ice cream with a hint of sea salt. The new scoop is inspired by the beloved children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak.

“Our partnership with the St. Johns County Public Library System is incredibly special to us,” said Jessi Streator, Mayday’s Director of Administration and Marketing and an avid library patron. “Library Lovers’ Month celebrates imagination and storytelling. We’re honored to help turn that spirit into something fun, nostalgic, and delicious for the community.”

“Library Lovers’ Month is a time to show love and support for libraries and an opportunity to engage the community,” said Debra Rhodes Gibson, SJCPLS Director. “Mayday has been a partner with us for a couple of years, and this collaboration felt like the perfect recipe for connection.”

The free launch event will feature live music, games, opportunities to sign up for library cards, and more. The event is open to the public. “Where the Wild Flavors Are,” along with other ice cream flavors, will be available for purchase during the event.

Launch Event Details:

• Date: Friday, February 13, 2026
• Time: 4:30 to 6 p.m.
• Location: Mayday Ice Cream Midtown St. Augustine, 1765 Tree Blvd., Suite 5, St. Augustine, FL 32084

“Where the Wild Flavors Are” will continue to be available for purchase at all Mayday Ice Cream locations in St. Johns County through March 13, 2026, or while supplies last.
