SUMMARY:Silent Art Night
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard about the Silent Book Clubs where people meet at a public location\, chat for a few minutes\, and then read in silence for the rest of the evening? We’re doing something just as fun this fall for all those introverts out there! \nGet out of the house and “meet” some new people without the pressure of having to do more than just say hello. Join us on Tuesday\, September 23rd from 6-7:30pm at the library for a night of silent art-ing. Bring along whatever you’re working on—a painting\, your sketchbook\, that blanket you’re crocheting—and do it quietly in a room full of other people who love to create\, but don’t want the pressure of having to make conversation.  Maybe it’ll happen naturally\, but expect to just “art” with us for a bit and then go home. Maybe you’ll meet a new coffee friend\, or maybe you’ll just get out of the house for a while. \nWhatever the reason\, we’d love to see you on Tuesday\, September 23rd.

SUMMARY:Carleton Place Newcomers Connect
DESCRIPTION:Our English Conversation Circle returns in a brand new format with fresh ideas.

We’ll adjust the sessions depending on the need\, so come out for some light refreshments and say hello to someone new in an encouraging and easy environment. Our sessions will take place the 1st Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm\, and the 3rd Thursday at 6:00pm. Join us on September 2 at 6:30pm\, and September 18 at 6:00pm.

SUMMARY:Reading Dragon Party
DESCRIPTION:We are launching our first ever Reading Dragons program at the Carleton Place Public Library! Join us to help promote reading for kids of all ages and build your own collection of mythical creature cards! \nJoin us on Wednesday\, September 10th\, 2025\, at 6:00 PM for a Dragon Party and the official launch of the program! There will be games\, activities\, prizes\, and more! \nHow does Reading Dragons and Friends work?  \nReading Dragons and Friends are collectible playable cards featuring mythical creatures like dragons\, unicorns\, griffins\, and more. \nChildren track the time they spend reading in 30-minute increments to earn cards – using their reading tracker to track the time spent reading. After completing four 30-minute reading periods\, they can come to the library to collect a family of Reading Dragons and Friends. \nAnyone can collect up to four dragon families a month but can only collect a maximum of two dragon families per visit to the library. \nHow do we start?  \nIf you are unable to attend our Dragon Party launch event on September 10th\, you can start collecting Reading Dragons and Friends cards by asking about the program at the front desk! \nReading Dragons and Friends is a reading incentive program developed the Dover Public Library in 2019 – it is used by over 400 libraries across the globe and has helped foster a love for reading in thousands of children worldwide. \nPlease email Julia with any questions at jhawkins@carletonplace.ca

SUMMARY:Library Adult Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Adult Book Club is meeting on Monday\, April 14th at 6:30pm in the Barbara Walsh Room at the library. This month\, we’re reading THE BOOK OF RAIN by Thomas Wharton.  Here is a little about the book: \nA groundbreaking\, deeply affecting work of environmental literary suspense for fans of Cloud Atlas\, The Overstory\, and Station Eleven.  \nThe northern Alberta mining town of River Meadows is one of three hotspots in the world producing ghost ore\, a new source of energy. The ore is worth twenty-eight times its weight in gold\, but it’s also linked with slippages of time and space that gradually render the area uninhabitable. After the town is evacuated\, the whole region is cordoned off in an attempt to contain the deadly phenomena\, with the no-go zone behind its high fences soon wryly nicknamed “the Park.”  \nFrom an ancient almanac to a flock of chatty birds\, a cacophony of voices rise together throughout history to tell this story–but at its heart are four young gamechangers\, linked through River Meadows\, whose impact extends long beyond their lifetimes. After Ben Hewitt was killed in a mining accident\, his widow and his two children\, Alex and Amery\, were among the first to be shipped out of town. Now an accomplished game designer\, Alex has moved on from the disaster\, but his sister hasn’t. As a little girl\, Amery tried to rescue the local wildlife from the effects of the ore; as an adult she’s begun making increasingly dangerous break-ins into the toxic wasteland to save animals trapped there. When she fails to return from a trip inside the fence\, Alex has no choice but to return to River Meadows to search for her\, enlisting her friend and fellow activist\, Michio Amano\, a mathematician who must transcend the known laws of physics if he and Alex are to find her.  \nThen there’s Claire Foley\, who fled River Meadows as a teenager and never looked back\, and who now traffics in endangered wildlife under the cover of working for a travel publisher. As Alex and Michio search for Amery\, Claire arrives at a legendary island nation for what should be a routine job–but when she meets the very last of an endangered crane species\, she must make the choice of her life. As sweeping in scope as a world of its own\, The Book of Rain upends the very constraints of form\, language\, and imagination\, illuminating the infinite wisdom of nature and the reverberations of our flawed stewardship in this Epic of Gilgamesh for our times.”– \nWe prefer all members to attend our book clubs in person as technical issues can make book clubs frustrating for everyone. Our discussions are lively and it’s a great way to meet new people while trying new genres and learning how to read critically. If you can’t make a book club in person one month\, that’s okay—feel free to join us at the library again the following month! \nIf you’d like to know a bit more about our Adult Book Club\, please feel free to email Meriah at mcaswell@carletonplace.ca  or visit our website for a full list of books and more detail.
