You may believe that with lengthening days and gorgeous weather, people would be inclined to spend less time inside Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library. Sure, people need books about gardening or hiking guides, but how on earth can the library attract patrons in this most sublime of seasons?
Well, there are concrete reasons that this venerable institution remains a treasured year-round community resource.
Consider its April lineup of critically-acclaimed movies – “Steve Jobs” (rated R) on April 7; “The Danish Girl” (rated R) on April 14; and “He Named Me Malala” (rated PG-13) on April 21. These movies start at 3:45 P.M. in the library’s Meeting Room, which delivers a state-of-the-art sight and sound experience. There’s also free popcorn and bottled water.
There are activities for children, too. Storytime is offered at 11:00 A.M. Wednesdays and is open to toddlers and preschool kids.
In addition, Lego Club meets at 3:45 P.M. Tuesday, April 12. This is a marvelous opportunity for youngsters to exercise their imagination and build close friendships among kindred spirits.
The library will also host Crafternoon at 3:45 P.M. Tuesday, April 26. Crafternoon teaches children a charming new craft each month and invaluable lessons in creativity.
In addition to its book collection, Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library offers an expansive assortment of CD books, one of the greatest collections of DVDs in North Carolina, and ebooks. Also, if you need help with your digital reading devices, the staff is happy to
provide assistance.
