September is just around the corner! As the library winds down from our busy Summer Reading Program schedule, we prepare for “Library Card Sign-up Month.” Today’s libraries are about more than books. They are resources for life-long learners from birth to high school and beyond: Resources that are available to anyone who has a library card! If you have not been to the library recently, stop by. We would love to show you what we have to offer. Also, if you have a student starting kindergarten this year, they may be eligible for their first library card! Call, check out our website, or stop by for more information.
Also coming up in September: On Tuesday, Sept. 13 Carnegie Library will host staff from SEO Library Consortium for “On-Demand Training: Dominate your Devices.” There will be tips and tricks for all parents, students, teachers, and library users of all ages. At 1 p.m. join us for a Windows 10 tutorial; 3:30 p.m. Troubleshooting ebooks, BookMyne, and Digital Magazines; and at 4:30 p.m. Introduction to Library Services & Databases. Bring your own device or laptop, or use one of the iPads provided: No registration required.
The Carnegie Public Library is pleased to announce the purchase of an art print, to be dedicated to former library director Poppy Girton. The print features a poppy flower, and will hang above the fireplace in the library. Poppy served Carnegie Public Library for more than 25 years, and was a lifelong resident of Fayette County. Individuals and organizations wishing to contribute to the purchase of this memorial may do so at the library, during normal business hours. Details about the art print are also available.
