May 12th is National Limerick Day!  We encourage you to write your own limerick about any topic you choose by the May 31 deadline  and submit it at the front desk of the library.  You may also email it to karen@ccitypl.org.  On June 1st, your limericks will be judged by a panel of library staff on (1) rhyme and meter; (2) sense of humor; and (3) creativity.  Winners in three age categories of CHILDREN through age 12; TEENS 13 - 17; and ADULTS 18 and up will each receive a $25 cash prize and the great honor of having their limerick posted on the library’s social media. 

Save the dates!  Summer Reading signups begin June 1.  Wednesday afternoon events for all ages will be at 2:00 pm on these dates:  June 8 - Hedgehog Hannah;  June 22 - Kristi Ridgeway, Indiana DNR; July 6 - TBA;  July 20 - CR Ryan and Sons, Magic Show; and July 27 - Lincoln Marching Band.  We will have prizes in all age categories for drawing winners, and details will be announced on social media.  

Emerging and beginning readers of all ages will enjoy practicing reading with Amanda Corman’s trained therapy dogs at PAWS for Reading.  May PAWS for Reading dates are scheduled for Wednesdays, May 4, 11, 18, and 25 from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.  Colt and Charlie are sweet dogs who enjoy helping children learn to read.  Pre-readers are also welcome!  Parents and caregivers may read books to a pre-reader in the PAWS program.  Reading to a patient, non-judgmental canine friend can help people feel less nervous and self-conscious about sounding out words.
