The library will host an open house in honor of retiring staff member Linda Brown, on Friday, June 29 from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. Our coworker and friend, Linda, has worked at Carnegie Library for 30 years, starting in the children’s department and then retiring from the outreach program. Please join us in this celebration!

Library closure: Coming up, Carnegie Public Library and Jeffersonville Branch Library will be closed on Wednesday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. Both locations will reopen on Thursday, July 5 at 10 a.m. Remember, the Ohio Digital Library is open 24/7! Log in with your library card number and PIN, and then borrow from millions of digital titles. Read or listen on your smartphone, Kindle, tablet, or other device. No remembering to return your book, it returns automatically when the loan period ends. Use the OverDrive app or try the new Libby app! Libby was awarded a 2017 Google Play “Best New App of the Year” award and earned a #1 Apple App Store rating for books and libraries in May of 2018. Check it out!

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.
