Come for storytime, stay for lunch! Monday to Friday from 12 p.m.to 12:25 p.m., the Big Blue Bus stops on East Street near the Carnegie Public Library.

The bus serves meals to every child aged 0-18 years old and will continue to do so throughout the summer.

Before lunch, bring your little ones to the library and read together, explore the library garden, select books to take home, use tablets or computers for games and more, or play with the toy trains in our picture book room.

On Thursdays, the library hosts two “Hello, Friends!” storytime sessions. The first session takes place at 10:30 a.m., and the second at 11 a.m. All storytimes are for children ages 5 and under and feature stories, songs, crafts and play.
