Here is our updated calendar for September of 2026.
Citizenship and English classes will resume in August.
Update! Summer Reading is going to keep us very busy, so we will not be able to accept 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten reading logs until September 8, 2026. Keep track of your books and we will catch up this fall!
Your Carthage Public Library is now participating in the nationwide reading program called 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten for children ages 0 to pre-k. If you have a child in this age range, we encourage you to sign up in the library or right here, then stop by and pick up your starter packet.
Voting is now open for Vision Carthage’s ‘Carthage in Bloom’ Award!
We hope you will stop by the Carthage Public Library and see what’s new before voting for your favorite non-profit.

Absolutely AMAZING!!
Carthage Public Library:
WE WON! 🤩🎉
To say we are overwhelmed would be an understatement! Thank you, Carthage Public Library Community, for rallying for your library! These additional manipulatives are going to add so much fun and creativity to our summer reading program! We will post a ‘thank you’ on Imaginative Playground’s FB page as well. Please take a moment and give your thanks to this US owned and operated company as well. (A ‘like’ to our thank you goes a long way to help us get noticed and them get recognition 😊)
