Carnegie Public Library and the American Association of University Women of Fayette County are partnering for the “Spring Book Sale,” which takes place Monday, April 18 through Saturday, April 23.
The book sale will be on the second floor at the library, 127 S. North St. The sale features fiction, non-fiction, large print, cookbooks, paperbacks, children’s books, DVDs, and books on CD. All items are 50 cents each.
Saturday is $1 a bag day! All items were received as donations or withdrawn from the library’s collection. Proceeds from the sale go toward local student scholarships awarded by AAUW, as well as the library’s general fund.
Families of preschoolers, join us for weekly storytimes in Jeffersonville and Washington Court House. Our storytime programs feature a new theme each week, and incorporate stories, songs, crafts, play, and are for children ages 5 and younger. With an emphasis on early literacy, our librarians help nurture your child’s love of books and reading.
Each Tuesday at 11 a.m., “Bonnie’s Books” takes place at Jeffersonville United Methodist Church then, each Thursday at 11 a.m., “Hello, Friends!” takes place in Washington Court House at the library.
This spring, the library is hosting a series of parenting workshops through Nationwide Children’s Hospital. These are supportive, small group programs aimed to help connect parents and caregivers raising young children.
Groups are open to parents and caregivers of children, ages 12 and under living in Fayette County. The second workshop takes place on Saturday, April 23 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Attendance is free, but please contact Ashlee Watson at 614-558-8260 or [email protected] to sign up.
