“On November 4, 2026, Robinson-Carpenter Memorial Library hosted Teen Time Game Day for 11–18-year-olds,” Ms. Bobbie reports. “The teens enjoyed the VR headsets, as well as the library’s copy of Cleveland Monopoly. The G.O.A.T. for November Teen Time Game Day was Coupland, an 8th grader from CCMS. We had a new teen to join us, and she received her first library card. Looking forward to seeing more teens on December 2, 2026, at 3:30 p.m.”

“Yesterday, November 3rd, Perfected Praise from the New Life Church 3- and 4-year-olds visited Robinson-Carpenter Memorial Library,” reports Mrs. Bobbie. “We discussed the Thanksgiving Day Holiday and what we were thankful for. I read the book Bad Kitty Does Not Like Thanksgiving, then the children colored and made turkey masks to gobble, gobble with😊.”

Staff enjoyed costumes for Halloween, too. Bobbie Matheny as Wonder Woman, Ki'Shonna Bell as Jason, Chandler Givens as Hula Woman, Marie Shorter as Princess.
