Library OnDemand – Available anytime you like.
Bilingual Storytime – Monday, Sept. 18, 10:30 – 11 a.m.
Join us at this storytime at Central Resource Library where the whole family will enjoy stories, songs, fingerplays and movement activities in both English and another language. Exposure to other languages can help develop early language learning and boost pre-reading skills. Fun for the whole family.
Toda la familia podrá disfrutar tanto en inglés como en otros idiomas: historias, canciones, juegos de manos y dedos, y actividades para trabajar el movimiento con los niños. El contacto con otros idiomas en los niños ayuda a desarrollar el aprendizaje temprano y a mejorar las habilidades de prelectura. Habrá diversión para toda la familia.
Read Under the Stars – Monday, Sept. 18, 2 – 4 p.m.
Elementary aged kids and their families, please join us at the Corinth Library for a low-sensory personal reading experience. We invite you to bring your own book (or borrow one of ours!), curl up and read in our quiet starlit Library space.
Prevent Scams, Fraud & Identity Theft – Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2 – 3 p.m.
In 2022, people reported to the FTC that they lost $8.8 billion to fraud – an increase of more than 30% over the previous year. Losses racked up from investment scams, romance scams, and other scams also keep rising. Learn to spot these scams by knowing the warning signs. Carol Kando-Pineda, Counsel in the Federal Trade Commission’s Division of Consumer and Business Education, will address ways to protect your information and your devices, what to do if you paid a scammer, and the steps to take immediately if you suspect identity theft. The FTC’s mission is to protect consumers and competition by preventing anticompetitive, deceptive, and unfair business practices through law enforcement, advocacy, and education.
Homework Help – Wednesdays, Sept. 20 to Dec. 13, 3:30 – 6:30 p.m.
School is challenging for many students, and pandemic learning loss is an additional reality facing today’s youth. Central Resource Library is thrilled to announce the return of Homework Help coaches to support student learning and academic achievement. Homework Help will focus specifically on literacy support for grades 2-5. Students are encouraged to bring specific homework assignments from school, such as book reports, writing projects, vocabulary, spelling, science or social studies reading, or any other work related to their specific literacy needs. English Language Learners (ELL) are welcome. Students will be served on a first-come, first-served basis, and busy times may require a wait. Additional online tutoring resources are available at on our website and include BrainFuse, Lightbox, and Khan Academy among others.
And much more happening this week …
