What a wonderful week of Fayette Field Trips, Storytimes, and Big Blue Bus visits! With Summer Readers now surpassing 300, the library is the place to be for enriching family fun in Fayette County.

Have you signed up for the Summer Reading Program? Readers of all ages are invited to use Beanstack, the library’s new Summer Reading App. Sign-up yourself and your family to start earning prizes right away by logging your books and activities at cplwcho.beanstack.org. Or, visit the library and sign-up in person Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This week at the library: In addition to STEM programs and storytimes, the library is hosting two exciting programs at the Fayette County YMCA.

First, on Tuesday, June 15 at 1 p.m., visit with the Columbus Zoo! This program is an opportunity to learn more about some amazing animals. Discover where they’re from, what they eat, and what makes them so unique. All ages are invited to this program in the YMCA gymnasium.

Then, on Thursday, June 17, children in grades 3-8 are invited to a game of Quidditch. Meet Aaron outside to play this wizarding game in real life!

Fayette families: Beginning Wednesday, June 16, children and teens are invited to pick up a free Father’s Day Take & Make craft kit. Make something special for the “Super Dad” in your life! For June & July, “Bonnie’s Books” is at Jeffersonville United Methodist Church on Tuesdays at 11 a.m., and “Hello, Friends!” is at the library in Washington Court House on Thursdays at 11 a.m. All storytimes are for children ages 5 and under and feature stories, songs, crafts, and play.

June is audiobook month! The library owns more than one thousand books on cd for your summer road trip or staycation, with even more available through the SEO Library Consortium! Stories for children, as well as adult and teen fiction and nonfiction audiobook collections feature newly added titles and beloved classics.

Looking for something more compact? The Ohio Digital Library offers streaming options! Enjoy digital audiobooks in your car through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or a Bluetooth connection. All you need is a library card!
