Visit the library during the second half of September to try a scavenger hunt for your next read! In celebration of Library Card Sign-Up Month, search the library for books and other items that fit the "clue". If you check out 3 or more items, get entered into a prize drawing for a new book bag!
Available for all ages during open hours.
Intended for young children ages birth to three years and their parents or caregivers, this program focuses on early language and social skills through fun stories, songs, and play time.
Join us after Wee Read or Preschool Storytime for playtime! The toy bin will be available, along with coloring sheets, sensory bins, and more to promote social emotional learning skills.
Tech time is available at the Kenai Community Library for anyone with basic technology questions. We can help you with: basic computer skills, accessing library resources, how to access eBooks and audiobooks, using devices such as eReaders, tablets, and smartphones, digital photos, social media, and email. *We do not take apart or repair devices, assist with financial transactions, or handle malware/viruses. While we will do our best to assist you with your technology needs, these are offered to allow you to expand your skills, not as a replacement for commercial tech support. Appointments required.
It’s time to cuddle up with a book and a pup! If your child would like an attentive friend to practice reading aloud to, look no further - Reading Dogs is a program designed to boost reading confidence by reading with a certified therapy dog one-on-one for 15 minutes. Recommended for elementary and middle school aged children who can read independently. Please call us at 907-283-4378 to reserve a timeslot.
Feeling alone in your author journey? Join us for a time of encouragement and support as you pursue your writing goals. Bring a piece to share if you would like.
