To support its diverse community, the library also offers a collection of foreign language materials for the Spanish-speaking and Karen populations. In addition, the library provides access to computers, printing, copying and wireless internet. Story Time Children and their caregivers are invited to participate in a 30-minute interactive program with books, songs, and movement to nurture prereading skills. Afterward, stick around for a 30-minute stay-and-play with toys and games. Book Club Free to join and open to the public, the Carrboro Branch book club meets monthly on the third Tuesday at 6:30pm to discuss the latest book club selection. Copies of the book are usually available to borrow.
