Storytime
Friday mornings from 10:30-11:30
Downstairs in the Children's Room. Music, movement, stories, and more, for children and their caregivers. Families are welcome to join in! For video storytimes and details on our upcoming themes, visit our Storytime page. Weather cancellations will be posted on our Facebook page. |
Take and Make Kits
New kits become available in the Children’s Room twice a month and weekly 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.

Patch Challenges
Carver Memorial Library encourages everyone, kids, adults, teens, and families, to take on our Reading Challenges! We encourage you to read widely and explore the library and the world around you. The challenges available are Kindness, Oceans, Animals, Fairytales, Maine History, Searsport, and STEAM.
To complete each challenge, log reading and activities to earn an embroidered patch/badge. Independent readers read 3 books (appropriate to your reading level) and do 3 activities related to the theme. Family readers/children being read to/pre-readers read 5 books and do 3 activities. All the details and log sheets on our Patch challenge page. |
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! All the details on our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten page. |
