Carnegie Public Library, Washington Court House and Jeffersonville, will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 11 in observance of Veterans Day. Thank you, to all the men and women who have served our country in the United States Armed Forces.
Watch the Record-Herald for features from Carnegie Library’s new campaign: “I Geek the Library.”
Everyone is passionate about something—everyone geeks something. Check out our ‘I Geek the Library’ display, and of course, we want to know how you geek the library! Share what you are into, and see what other people like. Is it gardening? Westerns? Scary movies? We want to know!
On Nov. 20 at 4 p.m., the Carnegie Book Club will host a Harper Lee Discussion. We will talk about Lee’s recent release, her classic work, To Kill a Mockingbird, as well as her life and times. Previous attendees are welcome once again as we further explore the themes in Lee’s work, and talk about both the acclaim and criticism surrounding the publication of Go Set a Watchman. In 2016, the Library Book Club will focus on great works of modern literature. The group will meet six times throughout the year and is intended for both lifelong fans and first-time readers! Join us!
For kids: Fabric Fashion Fun for Tweens! Join us on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 4:30 p.m. to fashion cool creations using new and up-cycled fabrics. We will have fun creating a project for Thanksgiving.
