Rubber Ducky Club Children 0-5
Remember to pick up or download the new activity sheet each month, then read, write, talk, sing, and play with your child. After completing 15 activities, bring the paper into the Library to receive a Rubber Duck. If you complete 15 more activities during the month you will receive another rubber duck and a free book. Funded by an Early Literacy Grant from the Tracy Family Foundation.
Please continue these activities while the Library is closed, then bring in the pages after we reopen to receive your ducks and books. If you can't print the pages, keep track of the activities you do on another paper and we can transfer them later.

Statewide Readers' Choice Programs K-5th grade
|
|
Both programs are sponsored by the Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA). Each year, a list of books is chosen by the statewide committee, and Carthage Public Library purchases and displays the books. Children who read or listen to the required number of books (5 for Monarch, 4 for Bluestem) can vote for their favorite. Voting occurs in February.
The 2020-21 statewide reading lists are now posted on the websites.
Many of the Bluestem titles are available to download as e-books or audios from eread Illinois. If you are using a computer, after logging in, open the navigation menu (the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner) and select Featured Lists. Unfortunately these lists are not visible from the mobile app.

Find a Book Illinois (http://www.lexile.com/fab/Illinois) helps you find good fit books for your child. Type in your child's lexile score or grade level information and his/her interests. As you browse the lists of books there is an option to "Find it in a Library" to see if it's available at the Carthage Public Library. Please remember that if we don't own a book, we can usually borrow it for you from another library.
