Carroll County Public Library’s children’s librarian stopped by Kathryn Winn recently to talk to students about the summer reading program.
The public library’s summer reading program is open to students of all ages. Registration is May 30-June 9. The children collect badges for the number of books they read and there will be special programs such as crafts and a petting zoo during the summer.
“Kids are going to be reading over the summer and I want them to have a person to connect with at the library,” said Winn Media Specialist Phoebe James. So, she brought Children’s Librarian Elizabeth Mullins to meet the children.
“Besides maintaining their skills, summer reading, especially books that contain characters that differ from ourselves, helps increase our understanding and empathy for others,” James added.

Sixth and seventh grade students in the CCMS gifted and talented program are using their strengths to become architects.
The students are recreating the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Brandenburg Gate. They used popsicle sticks and hot glue guns to erect the landmarks. The students also had to choose how to share the research they collected, such as creating a poster or a brochure, and had to write and deliver a speech about it as well.
Band students from CCMS and CCHS will perform March 9 as a precursor to their annual band festival.
The seventh grade will perform at 5:30 p.m., high school concert band at 6 p.m., eighth grade at 6:30 p.m. and the high school’s symphonic band at 7 p.m. Guest directors will also be on hand to give the students feedback about their performance. These mini concerts are open to the public and will take place in the CCMS auditorium
Students in Carroll County High School's law enforcement pathway worked recently on collecting fingerprints. These students are doing cyanoacrylate fuming on items they brought in and then dusting them for latent prints. Once they get a print, they collect it and put it on a card mark and label the print. This is a small part of the Project Based Learning component that lasts an entire semester for the dual credit class in Criminal Investigations.
