Programs

1000 Books Before Kindergarten: The Corning Public Library would like to help families prepare for school by challenging them to read 1,000 books with their kid before the first day of kindergarten.  As they reach checkpoints, prizes will be awarded.  Please come into the library to sign your child up or if you would like more information.

Afterschool program: Children in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to join us from 3:45-4:45 on Thursdays for activities and crafts.  Please come with your child the first day they attend, so you may fill out a form.  Programs will run through April 25th.  View the program tab to see a schedule of the programs for this year.

Summer program: During the summer we will hold a program once a week.  More information will be available closer to beginning date.
