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.

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.

Events are also listed on our Google calendar.
