LEARN

The Carnegie-Stout Public Library provides educational programs and resources that encourage growth and learning for all ages.

This free program encourages you to read 1000 books with your child before he or she enters Kindergarten. One of the best ways to encourage reading is to spend time sharing books every day. Sign up at the Children’s Help Desk to take advantage of this opportunity to help set your child up for success in school and connect with each other through reading.
