Join us for the annual book sale! Donations may be delivered during regular business hours through Tuesday, Sept. 17. Carnegie Public Library accepts donations of new and gently used books, music CDs, and DVDs. These items may be dropped off in the parking lot lobby. The library partners with AAUW for this annual sale and profits from the sale fund scholarships for local students through AAUW, and go toward new materials for the library. Peruse a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction books, children’s books, DVDs and more. The sale begins on Wednesday, Sept. 18 from 2 p.m.-6 p.m. This is “Preview Day” as well as “Community Day!” Admission is free when you show your local library card!

Adult library goers and community members: A Curious Minds planning session will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 9 a.m. Please enter through the parking lot doors. The group will discuss upcoming topics, tours, and more! What is Curious Minds? This library group is open to all ever-curious adult patrons. We meet throughout the year to tour spots in Fayette County and hold informal discussion on a variety of topics including books, movies and more! Attendees should bring a thirst for knowledge and their own coffee. On Friday, Sept. 27 at 12 p.m., bring a brown-bag lunch to the library meeting room and watch Across the Universe with us! The songs of the Beatles provide the sonic framework for this musical tale of romance, war and peace.

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. This early literacy time will introduce your baby to the library and the world of books! Starting Friday, Sept. 27 at 5 p.m., children in grades 2 and up are invited to our new “Uke Club!” Aaron will lead this group for experienced and beginner ukulele players. Call to register!
