May is here and Carnegie Public Library has the whole month packed full of programs and events! We will cap things off with a Summer Reading Kickoff on Wednesday, May 29. More details on the way!
Coming up for adults: Crafternoon on Saturday, May 4 at 11 a.m., Bring Your Own Book Club on Saturday, May 11 at 11 a.m., Crochet for Adults on Saturday, May 18 at 11 a.m., and So, You Are a Plant Parent! Now What? hosted by Catherine Yeoman of Flor & Co. on Saturday, May 25 at 11 a.m.

On Saturday, May 11, opening day of the Fayette Farmers Market, pay a visit to the library book bike! Visitors to the market will have an opportunity to check out Tony’s Traveling Tales, borrow or purchase books, pick up a copy of the library newsletter, and learn more about the library’s apps and digital resources! Then, let’s grow! Also on Saturday, May 11 at 11 a.m., children and their families are invited to join Mr. Aaron and Ms. Raina in the library garden as we plant for 2024. Vegetables and flowers go in the soil, mud on your hands, and popsicles for all that help: You will officially be in the Carnegie Kids Garden Club! Saturday, May 11 will also feature Crochet with Flora (ages 7-12,) and a Mother’s Day Take & Make: a Paper Bag Book for Mother’s Day! For kids of all ages, while supplies last.
