Carnegie Public Library and Jeffersonville Branch Library are thrilled to have well over 200 children signed up for Library League! These kids, tweens and teens have set reading goals for their summer fun. In addition, they will be attending and participating in a variety of library programming: STEM, art, fitness and gardening. Fun is on the agenda throughout June and July. Check us out!

Storytime is back! Join Ms. Noel and Mr. Aaron for out of this world themed stories, songs and activities in June and July! Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. is Preschool Storytime. This program is for children 3 – 5 years old, while Thursdays are Books & Blocks, for children 1 – 3 years old. Each week features a new theme! Siblings are welcome at either session. Also, each Tuesday, at 11:15 a.m., the library will host ‘Books & Babies!’ ‘Books & Babies’ is a 15-minute session specifically created for our youngest patrons to look at board books, do finger plays, bounce on laps and explore. This early literacy time will introduce your baby to the library and the world of books!

Techy teens and tweens: Have you heard about “Code Club?” The library is looking for coders (and non-coders) in grades 7-12. Coders will meet Mondays at 11 a.m. June 3– July 29 to learn how to make games, apps, websites and animations! “Code Club” is relaxed, so come when you can and learn at your own pace. Computer space is limited, so bring your own computer if you can!

In Jeffersonville: As always, Tuesdays at 11 a.m., little ones are invited to listen to stories, play instruments, create crafts and socialize with other little friends at Toddler Time! Monday, June 10, children ages 4-16 are invited to make a Father’s Day picture frame and card!
