Children's Library Programs and Services
Thanks to all who came out to register for FCPL’s summer reading program, “Oceans of Possibilities!” We enjoyed seeing hundreds of faces eager to explore the library, attend programs, make crafts, enjoy the open play days and more! Most of all we are happy that so many young patrons registered for and made their summer reading goals! If you have not done so already, during the month of August, please bring in your summer reading log or Beanstack challenge completion note to the children’s desk (or front desk in the evening hours) to claim the prize bag and personalized, signed certificate of completion. We look forward to seeing everyone this fall for more programs and events at the library! Ms. Larisa and Ms. Charlotte
Highlights of Summer ’22 Programs
Register to Read with Luna as part of our Caring Paws Program!
1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month 4:00 to 5:00 PM, Children's Library
Many children are motivated to read out loud when they have a canine reading partner. Especially one as patient and kind as Luna. Improves reading fluency, confidence and stamina.
Please call the children's desk to register. Spaces fill up quick for this popular program!
Coming Soon!

Reader Services
Our library staff is always happy to help you find books and materials and make suggestions for your reading. Our PINES system allows you to place electronic holds for specific titles, and you can also call us at the library to assist you with this.
We also have a wonderful collection of electronic resources available for all ages. This includes our reading challenge program, Beanstack which allows you to keep a record of books read, time read, and more. Children 0-5 can take part of 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program through Beanstack. Children 5 and older can track their favorite reads on the Best Reading List Ever Challenge. In addition to these ongoing challenges, we also have seasonal ones as well
