Carnegie Public Library welcomes all readers! We gladly serve newspaper fans, paperbacks buffs, comic book enthusiasts, do-it-yourselfers, digital diehards, and audiobook aficionados every day. We’ve got just the book, movie, album, or resource you need – for free! Through the SEO Library Consortium borrowing is simple and nearly limitless. Stop in or check out our website, www.cplwcho.org, and see what Carnegie Library can do for you!

Coming up: April is National Poetry Month! Carnegie Library invites all teens and tweens to submit their “Blackout Poetry” for a special display. “Blackout Poetry” is a form of found poetry or art created by erasing (or marking out) words from an existing text, revealing a unique pattern or poem with the remaining words. Use discarded books, magazines, newspapers, or more to craft your one-of-a-kind poem or work of art! Projects submitted will remain on display at the library until May 1. Submit yours!

Mark your calendars, because spring is just around the corner! The Carnegie Youth Gardening Club (open to all ages) will meet Saturday, May 12 at 11 a.m. to plant the library gardens! This fun and educational club is meeting for the fourth year. Join in on the fun!

This week! Join us for Carnegie Library’s “Now Streaming Book Club!” Super fans and readers alike are welcome to join the discussion about George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. Compare notes, share your thoughts, and get reading recommendations at 5 p.m., on Thursday, March 22. No registration required! Join the discussion online, too, in our “FayCo Reads!” book group on Facebook!

Would you like to get the most out of your library experience? Interested in reading or listening to free library eBooks on your tablet or smart phone? Sign up for one of our “Tech Tutor” sessions on Thursdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. These one-on-one training sessions with a librarian will help build your digital library skills.
