This year, the theme of our Summer Reading Program is ADVENTURE! There is no easier way to adventure anywhere, anytime, in the world than through books. We've compiled a list of children's fiction books that take place in countries around the world.

This July 4th, 2024, the United States of America will be 248 years old. For a country, that is still pretty young! But we have a lot of important history that made our country what it looks like today.

Are you in need of an action-packed book that you won't be able to put down? The teen adventure genre is the way to go. Answer our carefully crafted questionnaire to determine which young-adult adventure novel you should pick up this summer.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. We’ve all heard it, but we all do it. It’s what draws our attention when we’re looking for our next great read. The artwork and the font catch our eye, then we pick it up and read the jacket. Looks good!

When I think of “adventure,” the first thing that comes to mind is travel. This summer we are offering a number of FREE travel-themed programs for adults, as well as some on-going travel-themed activities that you can enjoy throughout the summer.

It’s that time of year- summertime, and that means family vacation season. We’ve put together a list of acclaimed audiobooks that will entertain the whole family, no matter the length of your drive. Some are even read by a full cast of voice actors, and some have music and sound effects!

So you’re the craft master, huh? You’ve tried it all, have you?

Macrame? Just fancy knots, nothing hard.
Origami? More like SNOREagami because it was so simple for you.

Hello, fellow readers! Summer is creeping up on us, and with that comes vacation time AND the library's annual Summer Reading Program! Woot! Woot!

Reading is key to children's brain development, and parents can encourage that best by reading to their children.  Your CGPL youth librarians are here to offer you our tips that turn a regular read-aloud into an awesome storytime.

Batman. Spiderman. Stilt-Man. You might think of these names when you think about comic books. (Except probably Stilt-Man, who is real and was at one point fighting Daredevil in Marvel Comics. That’s his picture over there.).

Time to break out the glitter, construction paper, and hot glue guns because March is National Craft Month!

March is “National Read an eBook Month” with March 3rd through the 9th being “National Read an eBook Week”.

February can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, from their first birthday in four years to some time with their sweetheart, but one of the most important things we should all try to celebrate is Black History Month. The man in the picture there is Edward C.

Everyone has someone they know that’s a little odd, a little silly. They might be a friend, or a family member, or even a neighbor that everyone thinks of fondly for their quirky behavior.

This year, we challenge you to read intentionally. Not sure how to go about that? We've rounded up suggestions for reading resolutions that will help you make 2024 a year for the books. These tips can be applicable to you or any children in your life.
