Upcoming Programs at Sterling Public Library


Sterling Public Library will be featuring Eric Carle during our programs the week of June 25th.  Mr. Carle is a well known children’s author and illustrator who has illustrated over 70 books and authored many of those.  His most popular book is the Very Hungry Caterpillar.  During our Monday program on June 25th at 2:00 p.m. the kids will hear Eric Carle’s stories, learn about his life and finger paint.

On Tuesday, June 26th 10 to 15 year olds will explore the art of tissue paper.  Beautiful artwork can be done with tissue paper and the group will learn how to complete a project.   Kids must register for this program and may do so by coming in or calling the library at 522-2023. 

Tuesday, June 26th at 7:00 p.m. the library will host a very special young lady, Meghan Casey and her puppet Aidan.  Meghan, now in her teens has been a performing ventriloquist since age 6.  One of her favorite puppets, Aidan is a dinosaur who loves marshmallows.  Meghan’s 2012 show theme is DREAM BIG, a performance with colorful and lively characters leaving a dream world and magically coming to life.

Our Toddler group will meet on Thursday, June 28th at 10:00 a.m.  They will hear stories by Eric Carle.  The group will also finger paint.

Summer Reading can be great fun as you explore the many adventures in books. It has also been shown that the use of the public library during the summer is more predictive of vocabulary gains than attending summer school.  There is still plenty of time to sign up for the Summer Reading Program so stop in and share the fun found at the public library.
