Free admission tickets are required and will be available at the Youth Desk prior to each program.* Please see the Events tab for information about other events at the Carson City Library.

2010 Summer Reading Program!!!

This year's theme is Make a Splash @ Your Library

The program will run from June 12th through August 7th. Join us at Mills Park on Aug. 7th from 12:00-2:00 p.m. for our end-of-the-Summer Reading Program Party! We will make home-made ice-cream, plus there will be face painting and lots of raffle prizes! Sign up today for this free program in the youth area of the library- open for kids ages 2 through 17, and earn all kinds of fun prizes and raffle drawings.

Don't forget about our Live Homework Help® through Tutor.com that offers free tutoring sessions and is available for students K-12th grades.

And now we are offering BrainFuse for a side-by-side trial with free tutoring sessions, live skills building, and even a writing lab to answer all your homework questions!
