We are celebrating Earth Week (Earth Day – April 22, and Arbor Day – April 26) this spring by participating in the 15th Annual Neighborhood Forest free tree program, whose aim is to provide free trees to kids every spring.
The final registration deadline is March 15th! Trees will be delivered to the library on or around Earth Week and we will notify you to arrange pick up. Planting and care instructions, as well as species information will be emailed a few days prior to the trees arriving and will be available in the “Resources” section of the Neighborhood Forest website. If you have more questions, please check out the Parent FAQs. You will also have the option to purchase additional trees and tree-related educational products (via the registration form). The purchases will help fund more free trees for kids. These other products will be shipped by Neighborhood Forest. Register to receive a free tree for Earth Day to plant with your child: https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/parent-registration/?school=19419 Thank you for your support and participation! For more information about this program, please visit www.neighborhoodforest.org or www.facebook.com/neighborhoodforest |
Take and Make Kits
New kits become available in the Children’s Room twice a month and several times a month during the summer. These kits are aimed at ages 4-9 and their caregivers, though they may be fun for older or younger ones as well. These kits are for projects you can do at home, and often have a STEAM theme, and they include instructions and supplies.

1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Carver Memorial Library is proud to support the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program!
The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program encourages family bonding while helping young children to develop the skills that will help them become successful lifelong readers. Come to the Library to pick up your first log, and every time you complete 100 books for a progress sticker and a new log. After finishing 1000 books, the participating child will receive an embroidered patch and a book plate inscribed with their name in a selected picture book in the library collection!
