You’re invited to attend our in-person programs and performances, as well as pick up free take-and-make kits full of crafts and DIY projects. You can register for Summer Reading beginning June 1st and pick up your challenge sheets and starter bags at all library locations. There will be lots of great prizes for those who participate in the reading challenges! Young readers, children, teens, and adults who finish will have a chance to win one of our grand prize gift baskets, full of great goodies and passes! Summer Reading ends on July 29th.

Learn all about the amazing jellyfish and make your own in a bottle to take home! Then we'll have some jellyfish races where you'll help the (fake) jellyfish that’s washed up on shore get out into the open ocean water where it belongs, without touching it of course. This program is ideal for ages 6 and up. Space is limited so registration is required. For more information or to sign up, contact Lisa at lisa.hartzell@haywoodcountync.gov or 828.356.2511.

Interested in creative writing? Join the Canton Branch Creative writing group! Learn writing skills, while sharing and practicing with the support of other aspiring writers. For more information, email Jennifer at jennifer.stuart@haywoodcountync.gov or call 828.356.2561.
