❤️Families Belong at the Library

At the Washington Carnegie Public Library, we believe EVERY family has a story worth celebrating.

Families come in many forms—parents and children, grandparents raising grandchildren, adoptive families, foster families, blended families, single-parent households, chosen families, and everything in between. What matters most is the love, support, and connection we share with one another.

Libraries are for everyone. We are proud to welcome and serve all families in our community, providing a safe place to learn, grow, discover, and belong.

Whether you're reading together, attending a program, exploring new ideas, or simply spending time with the people you love, there is a place for you here.

Every family. Every story. Every person. Welcome.

As always...

🎨 Craft & Connect with Heather: Painted Clay Flower Pots 🌼
📍 Registration is required. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up early! Ages 13 and up https://washingtonpubliclibrary.libcal.com/event/17021133

Join us for a relaxing evening of creativity as we paint 6-inch clay flower pots and matching saucers! We'll provide the pots, paint, and brushes—just bring your imagination.

Feel free to bring your own embellishments or decorative items if you'd like to personalize your creation even further.

Important: If you plan to use your pot outdoors, you will need to apply your own waterproof sealer at home after the paint has completely dried.

Come connect, create, and take home a beautiful hand-painted planter perfect for summer! 🌱🪴✨

“Plant a Seed, Read” is our family summer reading program theme this year and we are taking it quite literally here for our “Plant a Seed, Read” Storytime! 😆 We’re reading this gorgeous book by Ellen Heck, “Sunflower Seeds”, and then planting our own seeds, so we can take them home and watch them grow just like the kids in the story.

Our second Storytime will be this afternoon at 3:40 so you have a chance to come along and take part in this free family program!

After today we’re taking a break until July, when we’ll be having Summer Morning Storytimes every Thursday in July, 10:30AM. We have lots of fun planned for you this July at Storytime and can’t wait to see you!
