     Have you always wanted to join a book club, but didn’t know how, or they all met at locations too far from your home?  Then this is for you!          

  Designed with an open format, the club will meet in the Community Room on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 1 p.m., and will include a variety of books—each one to be chosen by club members. Wanting the club to be more than simply reading and discussing, our hope is to invite authors, correlate crafts, and even compare a book’s movie if possible.  The February 9th book selection is The Reading Promise,  by Alice Ozma.  The March 8th book selection is How To Be An American Housewife, by Margaret Dilloway.  

   HAPPY READING!

Due to the generosity of the San Carlos Friends of the Library, in 2009, Youth Services Librarian, Eric Chamberlin was able to purchase for use in the Community Room, a full size movie theater screen and projector.  It was first used for the 2009 Youth Summer Reading Program.  Because of the tremendous success of this program, it was expanded to offer families  free movies throughout the year.  This program now has two components:

FAMILY FUN CINEMA is shown on THURSDAYS from 3:00 - 5:10 pm.  These movies are all rated G, PG, or PG-13 and are appropriate for all ages. Check with the library for film titles.  There are some great, classic Holiday films scheduled for December.

On WEDNESDAYS STARTING AT 3:00 pm, Wii Gaming on our 14 foot wide screen and/or other fun activities are available for KIDS OF ALL AGES.
