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. This summer the theme is “Tails and Tales,” celebrating animals. The challenges this year are 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.
Events are also listed on our Google calendar.
