Please remember, the intention of the Gleason Kids Book Club is to bring a variety of books to children regardless of reading ability or level. If a child can read the assigned title on their own, they should be encouraged to do so. If a child is not quite ready or just prefers to be read to, parents and caregivers are encouraged to read with or to their children.
For more information about this and any of the library's programs, please check the rest of the library website (www.gleasonlibrary.org).
This program was started through a private grant is now funded by the Friends of the Gleason Public Library.
Children's Display Case
Calling all Carlisle kids! Do you have a special collection that you would like to share with your friends and the other patrons of the library? Thanks to the Friends of the Gleason Public Library, we now own a large display case that we want YOU to use.
Sign up at the Children's desk to fill the case with your special treasures for two weeks. After two weeks, your display comes down and the next one goes up.
Our current exhibit:
