What's Happening At CCPL
September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. I encourage everyone reading this to dig deep into your wallets, purses, pocketbooks, or desk drawers to pull out one of the most valuable items you will ever own—your library card! Dust it off, and come in to the library or call us to update your status so that you can gain access to a world of information, entertainment, and exploration. Now is also a great time to sign up for a library card for the first time for yourself or for a young person in your life. One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is the joy of learning and a love of reading, made possible with a shiny, new library card.
It is never too early to begin reading to or with your child. Research led by Carolyn Cates of the New York University School of Medicine in 2017 demonstrated that reading books with a child starting in infancy elevates vocabulary and reading skills four years later, before elementary school. Other researchers have found that early reading encouragement leads to an interest in lifelong learning and greater success throughout life. Come by your local library and let us open doors for you and your family with new library cards.
