Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers,
As we consider a 2016 renovation of our Children's Library, we'd like to get your thoughts on how you and your family use the library and your priorities for the space.

Please register for the appropriate session.

• February 24 - 7:00-8:30 PM; for those with children in preschool and younger
• February 25 - 7:00-8:30 PM; for those with children in kindergarten through fifth grade

We will have other ways for you to give your input, including an online option. And you are welcome to share your input in conversation with any of our Children's Librarians.

Is there a book you know and love? A title you find yourself recommending over and over again? Maybe it changed your life or your outlook. And maybe it could make a difference to someone else. 

The Canton Book Project is your chance to share your love of reading by giving out books to people in this community who, for whatever reason, don't read for pleasure or own books. Applications are being accepted from members of the community interested in being book givers. Book givers will have the opportunity to share the loving of reading by distributing a book of their choice to other members of the community. Readers of all ages are encouraged to apply and books can be of any reading level.

By applying to be a Canton Book Project book giver you agree, if selected, to:

• Attend the Canton Book Project Reception and Distribution Night on April 16
• Give out all of your books by April 30, 2015
• Seek out those who don’t regularly read as recipients for your books
• Allow your image and name to be used by the library for promotion about this program

Use this link to get the application, which is due by 6:00 PM on March 7, and click here for tips and guidelines.

If you or someone you know needs assistance with basic computer skills, including Internet use and setting up an email account, please stop in to CPL's iLab between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 14 for our drop-in skills lab. We will have guided activities for practice with mouse skills, copying/pasting, and more.  A librarian will be on hand to answer any questions you may have or direct you to activities and tutorials to help build basic computer skills.

On Monday, February 16 from 9:30-11:30 AM, the highly trained staff from Starfish Family Services will present Word Play: Rhymes and other Pre-reading Activities. Participants will learn how to make nursery rhymes interactive and engaging. They will also learn the importance of phonological awareness in preschoolers. Bring your children to this program as free daycare is provided by Starfish's daycare professionals.

Wednesday, February 18, 6:30-8:45 PM join us for our monthly meeting of the Animanga Club! We've got all sorts of zaniness in store from a raffle to trivia to our always popular "mystery anime." What is it this month? Sorry, no hints. Drop by and let your inner otaku run free.

Are you a kid between the ages of 5-11 and a fan of the U.S. Presidents? Join us during your mid-winter break for our Presidents' Day Monday program. We'll read stories about some of our most famous presidents, make a cool craft, and enjoy a tasty treat.

Registration begins Monday, January 26.
