Annual Events
Grow With Me
In the Spring, children engage with baby animals and have the opportunity to plant their very own tomato plant, Hairy Harry plant, and a windowsill herb. Each child leaves with a bagful of goodies and a free book!
Summer Reading Program
In the summer, running through June and July, the library holds weekly summer reading programs each Thursday at 10:30am. After each program, children take home snacks, crafts, and a free book!
Science Camp
Along with summer reading, the library has a week-long science program conducted by Dr. Lesa Rice-Jackson, retired chemist. Registered children learn about lab safety, keeping a lab journal, and conducting science experiments! Previous topics: Studying red clay, crystal growing, seed germination and more! For more information check our social media or call the library to register.
Cookies with Santa
In the winter, Santa comes to the library to take photos with children while they enjoy Christmas cookies and hot chocolate. After photos, patrons can stay for a Christmas play by Porkchop Productions, known for their funny theatrical performances and life lessons.
Boo Bash
On Halloween, children can come dressed in their Halloween costumes and enjoy an evening of playing spooky games, winning prizes, free books, and of course getting candy!
Homeschool Hangout
Twice a year, the Calhoun County Library hosts Homeschool Hangout, a special event for homeschool students to connect and build friendships. Participants gather at the library to enjoy pizza, snacks, and fun activities in a welcoming environment. The event provides homeschooled children with opportunities to socialize with peers who share similar educational experiences. Through team-building activities and interactive icebreaker games, students get to know one another while developing new friendships and strengthening social skills.
