The 2013 Summer Reading Program is underway. The programs run from May 28 to July 31. We'll be having separate programs for kids 12 and under, teens 13 to 18, and adults 18 and up. The grand prize for our adult program is a Kindle Fire. Check out our Facebook Page for info on these and other events at Carthage Public Library.

New Books and Books On Order Updated
The list of New Books and Books On Order has been updated for June 2013. If you'd like to request any of these titles, give us a call at 417-237-7040 during normal operating hours, or email us at carthage@carthagelibrary.net.
Downloadable eBooks and Audiobooks Now Available!
Carthage Public Library now offers downloadable eBooks and Audiobooks! You can get popular books and other digital content for your Kindle, iPad, Nook, and other devices.
We are rolling this out slowly and it will be "opt in" for the first few months. Anyone with an active library card is eligible. Just stop by the library and fill out a small card, and we will add you into the eBook patron database. Once we add your account into the system, we'll send you an email (or give you a call) to let you know your account is active.
After that, just head to the Missouri Libraries 2 Go page at molib2go.org and sign in with your Carthage Public Library card number. You're ready to start checking out eBooks and Audiobooks. There's a help page on that site that can walk you through how to check out books on your device.
If you have any questions, give us a call at 417-237-7040, or email us at carthage@carthagelibrary.net.
