The Summer Reading Program is off to a great start in the Children’s Department at Carnegie Public Library. Seventy kids have already signed up and participation is starting to look like our pre-Covid summers. The children’s department is decked out with colorful mermaids, narwhals, jellyfish, seahorses and other sea creatures. Our theme is Oceans of Possibilities and we invite you to step into our colorful aquarium! Pose for pictures at our reef!
School is out! Kids and parents will appreciate all the activities we have planned for the summer. Bonnie’s Books is every Tuesday in Jeffersonville at the United Methodist Church at 11 a.m. where they’ll explore “S is for Sharks.” Join Mr. Aaron and Miz Noel, for fish tales! The first full week of June there are 10 programs offered for all age ranges.
Registration for summer reading is simple. Download the Beanstack App and start recording minutes for children under twelve and titles for teens and adults. We love giving book recommendations, and we can help find the perfect book for reluctant readers. Reading is our passion and we want to introduce beginning readers to the wonderful world of reading! Summer is the perfect time to explore a new genre. We encourage parents to sample a variety of books with their children and our staff is eager to assist. There are weekly giveaways and grand finale prizes for children, teens and adults.
