Description

Bemidji’s historic Carnegie Library has become the home of a children’s reading program, coming full circle to its original purpose after more than 100 years. Storytime at the Carnegie, a free program for pre-school children, will run every Monday from 10:29 to 11:15 a.m. at the Carnegie Library, beginning Monday, September 9. Storytime was created thanks to a generous donation from the Herbert and Vivian Olson Children’s Reading Program, in support of early childhood education and children’s literacy. It is sponsored by the Friends of the Carnegie and the City of Bemidji Parks & Recreation Department. Eventually, the Friends of the Carnegie plan to expand the program to include sessions for older children, and special events such as poetry reading and writing, craft projects, and readings by local authors.
