June 24, 2026: Sue Godsey Stories, Stuffing, Ms. Jeanne & Franklin

UPDATE: Both Story Telling Sessions with Ms. Sue Godsey and our Animal Stuffing Parties are FULL. We have no room for any more registrations, and walk-ins will be turned away. We hate it, but if we are going to have a problem, it’s also a nice problem to have.
If you are registered but find out you won’t be able to join us, please stop by for a refund if you pre-paid for your choice of animal by 4 p.m. TODAY (June 22nd). Any no shows will be donated back to the library so we can contact and invite those on our already full waiting list. Thank you! We will have a sign-up sheet at the Children’s Desk that morning to schedule some time with Franklin and Ms. Jeanne that afternoon.

June 24, 2026 Special Programming!

10:30 a.m. & 3:30 p.m. Story Teller Sue Godsey will be at the Carthage Public Library! Each Story Telling Session will finish with a stuffing party. Each child registered will get to stuff (and keep) an Iconic American Animal.

Morning Session: Animal Stories
Afternoon Session: The Shipwrecked Sailor

Pre-registration for this program (including choosing your own animal) has closed. Registration is OPEN until each session is full. Call or stop by soon!

4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Ms. Jeanne & Franklin will be visiting the Library for children to read to. Franklin is a therapy dog and LOVES to have children read stories to him! Pick out your favorite book, sign-up at the Children’s Help Desk on this date, and read a bit to Franklin.
