Join Carnegie Public Library for weekly storytimes in Jeffersonville and Washington Court House — the programs feature a new theme each week, incorporating 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.

“Bonnie’s Books” takes place each Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Jeffersonville United Methodist Church, while “Hello, Friends!” takes place each Thursday at 11 a.m. at the library in Washington Court House.

In honor of President’s Day and the History Channel’s new Abraham Lincoln miniseries, join us on the second floor of the library on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 12:30 p.m. for a talk presented by Lauran Perrill, retired Washington Court House City Schools teacher. Ms. Perrill will share fascinated information and details about Lincoln and his family. No registration is required.

Check out the library’s 24/7 lockers! When you use the lockers, you can pick-up library materials any time of day. When placing a hold through the SEO libraries App, or through the online library catalog, you may now select “WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE 24/7 PICKUP LOCKERS” as your pick-up location. Library staff will notify you via email when the items are available, and in which locker number your items are located.

Check out library social media for more details or ask a librarian today! And, in coordination with the Village of Jeffersonville, plans are in the works to install Carnegie Public Library pick-up lockers and book return in Jeffersonville. All lockers are paid in part by Federal Coronavirus Relief Funds, and provide contactless service to patrons any time of day.
