Let's burn some energy while learning the fundamentals of early literacy! This interactive, hands-on program is perfectly suited for toddlers ages 2 to 3 years old with their caregivers. Sponsored by First 5.

The third Tuesday of every month gather in the Quiet Room and discuss the various books we all bring (that's right, there are  no assigned titles, just bring a book you want to share with others). We do tend to read more non-fiction than fiction, but it's not a requirement.

Is your phone camera taking pictures in black and white mode only? Has the microphone stopped working? Would you like to know how to take a picture of your phone's screen (a screenshot)?  Annoying little technology issues can often be solved through some simple changes to the settings of your device (telephone, tablet, laptop, etc.). 

Senior Tech Pal is coming to the Cameron Park Library!!  Learn features, tips and tricks on YOUR device!  Bring your device with you. 
These sessions are by appointment only. To reserve your spot, please contact: Reesa Osterhoudt at (530) 621-5110.

**NO TECH TROUBLESHOOTING IN DECEMBER 2024.

Benefits for reading with a literacy dog!

3. Children reported feeling more relaxed and confident about reading.
4. Dogs can create an environment of happiness and safety.
5. Dogs are focused for their enjoyment and create motivation to read overall.

Teens are invited to join our Teen Writing Group to dive into creative writing or to ask questions about academic writing. Each session will include a focused look at a writing genre, opportunities to do writing prompts and exercises, and flexibility for creative conversations. Please bring something to write on, including journals, computers, or phones. Drop in any time during this hour for writing fun.

Are you experienced in quilting or sewing, or a beginner looking to hone these skills? Then join us to socialize while you stitch!  You are encouraged to bring your projects, fabric, patterns, thread, questions, pins, enthusiasm, notions, and sewing machine, if you have one.    

We have a love of sewing/quilting, as well as 3 Brother sewing/quilting machines for use, a cutting mat, and a small assortment of supplies.  The stitching circle is just getting started as a space in which to create in a supportive and social atmosphere. This is not a class, but there will be a knowledgable person in the room to help troubleshoot issues that arise with machines.

Children learn through play. In fact, play helps them develop early literacy and school-readiness skills, and it can be a load of fun. Open-ended activities engage a variety of age groups and encourage adult-child interaction. Our library may not be an actual playground, but there is a place for play here.
