Kill-A-Watt meter

Kill-a-Watt meters measure the electrical consumption of home appliances. Plug the meter into any 120 VAC, three-prong (grounded) electrical outlet, and then plug your appliance into the meter. Devices circulate for one week. Place a hold today with your library card.

Carbon Dioxide Monitors

Ventilation and carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements are two of many precautions that can be taken to protect yourself and your community from airborne infections. Comparing indoor CO2 readings to the baseline outdoors can give us an idea of how well a space is ventilated with fresh air from outdoors.

Monitors circulate for seven days at a time. One monitor loan per card at a time, and up to three renewals. Visit the library catalogue to place a hold on a monitor.

Connect to the Aranet4 App

Download the Aranet4 app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Enable Bluetooth on your device.
Tap Pair New Device.
Select the device and enter the code on the front of the Aranet4 monitor.
Your app will now begin reading the air quality.

Tips for the most accurate Reading

Take the device outdoors in an open area away from crowds. After a few minutes the reading should be between 400-450 ppm, that means it’s properly calibrated. If the device is not properly calibrated, follow the instructions in the user manual:

Aranet4 User Manual

Always take readings at least 2 meters away from people’s faces or your readings may be artificially high.
Readings should be performed when the space is occupied. If you expect 30 people in the room, you’ll want to take a reading with 30 people present.
You may notice the readings stay steady, rise continuously, or cycle from higher to lower values. These patterns provide hints to how the space is ventilated and may guide your troubleshooting to improve ventilation in the space.

Disclaimer: these devices are not carbon monoxide detectors and are not life safety devices.

What do I do if the C02 is high?

Know your risks and make a list of other mitigation factors in place. For example, if everyone is wearing masks/vaccinated/feeling well we might be more tolerant of a slightly higher reading.
Look for simple solutions to bring more fresh air into the space. Try opening doors/windows and using fans to promote flow.
Check your HVAC settings to make sure the system doesn’t turn off when the temperature set point is reached. This might involve switching the fan from “auto” to “on”.
Check for other sources of CO2 in your building, vehicle or other closed space. Other than breathing, combustion (e.g. a gas stove) can also introduce CO2 into a space.
Sometimes a professional engineer or HVAC technician may be able to come help troubleshoot problems that are not an easy fix.
In cases when it is not possible or practical to further reduce the CO2, you may choose to add additional precautions while in the space. Precautions may include reducing time spent in the space, wearing masks, or adding a properly sized High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter.

The CO2 monitoring devices were provided to the Carleton Place Public Library through Community Access to Ventilation Information, CAVI.

Envoy Connect Talking Book Player

The Envoy Connect is a solar-powered audiobook player with a simple, tactile keypad designed for blind and low-vision users. Members with a visual, physical, or learning disability can join the Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA) and download titles to their own player using the CELA Connect Software or slip it into the included postage-paid envelope and have CELA staff in Toronto, reload your Envoy and mail it back.

The library has a small selection of pre-loaded Envoy’s for qualified members to try before purchasing their own from CNIB Smartlife.

By borrowing this item patrons agree that they qualify as having a visual, physical, or learning disability that prevents them from using print materials.

Eligible customers with print disabilities have access to additional accessible collections through CPPL’s partnership with the Centre for Equitable Library Access.

Radon Monitors

Digital Radon Monitors circulate for 21 days at a time, with one monitor loan per card and up to three renewals. These monitors are available for loan during the heating season, generally October to March — in line with Health Canada’s recommendations.

Due to high demand, a late fee of $5.00/day will be charged for late returns.

**Please note, Radon monitors work best when your home is closed up and heated. Borrowing during the colder months will give the most reliable results.**

What is Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring colourless, odourless and tasteless radioactive gas that forms when uranium breaks down in soil, rock and water. It can be found at high levels in buildings all over Ontario, including Carleton Place and Beckwith. When radon is released from the ground outside it gets diluted by fresh air and is not a concern. When radon enters indoor areas through floors, holes, and cracked foundations it can accumulate to higher levels and be a risk to our health.

When and how long should I test for?

For the most accurate result, monitoring should be done over several months. The best time of year to test is when our windows close between Fall and Spring, so less fresh air is circulating. CPPL’s monitors may be loaned for 3 weeks, which is enough time for there to be an indication that a home or building has a concerning level of Radon and may need further testing.

What does my test result mean?

The higher the radon level, the higher your risk of developing lung cancer with long-term exposure. Health Canada recommends remedial action for radon levels that are above 200 Bq/m³, targeting the lowest radon level achievable in your home. A public health inspector at the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit can help you interpret your test results and decide whether consultation with a certified radon mitigation professional is necessary. Public Health Inspectors can be contacted at 1-800-660-5853 or contact@healthunit.org.

Where can I find more information?

Further information can be found on the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit, Health Canada and Take Action on Radon sites.

Disclaimer: these digital monitors are a screening tool only. All patrons need to conduct a long-term radon test or hire a radon measurement professional to get an accurate measurement of the radon level in their home.

Babytime

These sessions are drop ins only and it can fill up quickly! Please bring a blanket for baby to rest on during the session as we’ll be doing lots of songs and activities on the carpet. You don’t even need a library card to attend!

Babytime is open to everyone, even if you’d only like to come to one or two sessions. The new drop in format has been working well, but make sure to get here early–we can only accommodate the first 15 babies and parents. Once the room is full, we will put a notice on our door to let parents know they should try again next week and we’ll have a fun resource pack to take home. We’d appreciate limiting attendance to two adults plus baby, please, to allow space for everyone.

Toddler Time

This program is also provided in an accessible space, with access to our meeting space from our outdoor ramp. We expect these sessions to be a little noisier or busier than some programs due to the age of the children, so please prepare if you have sensory issues if necessary.

If your child is in need of accessible reading options such as Braille books, dyslexia-friendly options such as decodable books or audiobooks, we can provide you with options for reading at home. Please feel free to let us know ahead of time if your child would like some of these options, or if they have other sensory or accessibility issues that may prevent them from enjoying our space or the program. We’d be happy to try to accommodate. You can email Heidi at hsinnett@carletonplace.ca

Storytime

Storytime takes place on Wednesdays at 10am before the library opens and allows everyone to have lots of fun and choose books once the session is over. No registration is required, but please plan on being here for the starting time of 10am. Fall Storytime runs from September 9 – December 16. This year, if the buses are cancelled when the weather gets cold, we will still run our sessions for children. Parents, please feel free to bring older siblings along to storytime. They will have to remain in the room with us during the session and will not be allowed into the library until Storytime is finished.

Storytime is our weekly early literacy program for children aged 2-5. We sing songs, read great books and practice lots of early literacy skills in a fun manner. This is the perfect session for families with children of a variety of ages as we work hard to engage everyone through lots of activities and get kids to enjoy books. If your child hasn’t really had the opportunity to meet or socialize with other children, this is the perfect setting to get them started. We do a lot of repetition to make sure kids start to keep comfortable and learn about routines and following direction. It’s a great session to get your child ready for school!

Accessibility Info

This program is also provided in an accessible space, with access to our meeting space from our outdoor ramp. During most storytime hours, the library is still closed to regular visitors so please plan on using the side door access–posters are placed on the front door with arrows providing direction to the accessible space.

While we do periodically offer sensory-friendly storytime programming, there are also always sensory objects available for children who might need some stimulus-calming during the session. We expect these sessions to be a little noisier or busier than some programs due to the age of the children, so please prepare if you have sensory issues if necessary.

If your child is in need of accessible reading options such as Braille books, dyslexia-friendly options such as decodable books or audiobooks, we can provide you with options for reading at home. Please feel free to let is know ahead of time if your child would like some of these options, or if they have other sensory or accessibility issues that may prevent them from enjoying our space or the program. We’d be happy to try to accommodate. You can email Heidi at hsinnett@carletonplace.ca

Find out more about intergenerational storytime!

Waterside is an accessible space with easy-access electronic door buttons at the front door. Please feel free to bring in strollers or other child-friendly vehicles such as carts or wagons when visiting for storytime.

Many seniors don’t receive a lot of visitors and very few see children so this is a great opportunity for them to experience the joy of youth in their comfortable setting and try something new. Kids will enjoy the quiet, cozy environment of Waterside–we’ll meet in the front lobby and do all of the same fun songs, stories and early literacy activities that we do at the library, but on a different day in a different place. If you can’t make it to our storytime that week, you’ll have another opportunity to get out and enjoy an activity.

Waterside is located at 105 McNeely Avenue. There is plenty of free parking up front or at the rear of the building and we’ll end each session with a fun stamp, sticker or treat just to wrap things up. No registration is required–please invite your friends to come along! We’d love for these sessions to really grow this year.

French Storytime

Reading Dragons & Friends

How does Reading Dragons and Friends work?

Reading Dragons and Friends are collectible playable cards featuring mythical creatures like dragons, unicorns, griffins, and more.

Children track the time they spend reading in 30-minute increments to earn cards – using their reading tracker to track the time spent reading. After completing four 30-minuite reading periods, they can come to the library to collect a family of Reading Dragons and Friends.

Anyone can start the program and collect up to four families (13 cards!) a month!

How do we start?

You can start collecting Reading Dragons and Friends cards anytime! Just ask to register for the program at the front desk!

Reading Dragons and Friends is a reading incentive program developed the Dover Public Library in 2019 – it is used by over 400 libraries across the globe and has helped foster a love for reading in thousands of children worldwide.

Please email Julia with any questions at jhawkins@carletonplace.ca

Summer Literacy Tutoring

PLEASE NOTE: Our Summer Literacy Tutoring is now finished for the 2026 year. We will send out information to Resource Teachers in early May 2027 and only those recommended by the Resource Teacher will be considered for a spot in our Summer Literacy tutoring program. Parents are reminded that these sessions are for children currently in Kindergarten to Grade 2 who are struggling with their reading, not those who just want to continue practicing their reading skills over the summer. Please leave the spaces available for children who really need work with a tutor.

What’s New for our Summer Literacy Tutoring in 2027?

During the Summer of 2026, we noticed that many children who registered did not need actually need one-on-one tutoring. They had sufficient reading skills, could identify all letters and most teacher recommendations said they were reading at their grade level. This program is not for children who are already reading at their level. It is for children who have marked problems identifying letters, or sounding out words, and are falling behind in their literacy learning at school.

Children who are reading at their grade level are encouraged to participate in our TD Summer Reading Club instead by reading books they enjoy at home and earning stickers and ballots for prizes. We can't stress this enough--please do not register a child who simply could benefit from reading at home with mom or dad all summer in order to keep up their reading skills. In 2027, we will be limiting the program to children who have severe skill issues who need extra help with a tutor.

What if My Child Doesn’t Get a Spot With One of the Tutors but really needs help?

This is a very popular program and spaces fill up quickly. Once all spaces are full, we will still offer a weekly “Reading Buddy Friday” program with the tutors that is open to everyone each week, even if they are not participating in the literacy tutoring program. Registration begins on the Monday of each week in the summer. Please call the library at 257-2702 for more information.

Teen Volunteer Opportunities!

We are now full for volunteering opportunities for the 2026-2027 season. If you still need to earn volunteer hours for your graduation requirements, please visit our "Volunteer Crafting Circle" link to find out how you can earn volunteer hours each month in our newest program.

Community Volunteer Income Tax Program

ConnectWell, in partnership with Canada Revenue Agency, is running the Free Community Volunteer Income Tax Program throughout Lanark County/Renfrew County again this year. Members of the community, who have a modest income, can have their income tax returns prepared and e-filed by one of our registered, trained and skilled volunteers.

This program is run year round via telephone, but in March and April of each year they offer in person clinics for those who would prefer in person.

Filing income tax is essential in order to receive benefits such as GST/HST credits, Child Tax Benefit, Guaranteed Income Supplement, Working Income Tax Benefit, Provincial Benefits (Trillium) or in order to apply for Social Housing programs, Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program.

When you are ready to file your taxes over the phone or in person, please have available;

Proof of ID
Tax slips for all income (such as T4, T4A, T5007)
Tax slips for deductions (such as Child’s fitness, T2202A, medical or donation slips)
Property tax or rent costs
Date of birth for dependents
Notice of assessment from previous year
If you are completing someone else’s tax return, including your spouse or dependent, you must have their written permission.

Known for her intimate and riveting films, director Kim O’Bomsawin now invites us to experience the vibrant universe of Ninan Auassat: We the Children. Shot over more than six years, the film brings us the moving stories of three groups of children from three different Indigenous nations: Atikamekw, Eeyou Cree and Innu.

In following these young people through the crucial milestones of childhood, right to the threshold of adulthood, we witness their daily lives and aspirations, along with the challenges they face.

Filmed from “a child’s eye-view” and presenting a groundbreaking vision of contemporary Indigenous youth, this documentary is notable for the complete absence of adult voices and “experts on young people”—holding space instead for a new generation with a burning desire to be heard.

The result is a captivating journey that becomes a call to action, at a time when the voices of young people echo, demanding the right to be recognized and an opportunity to blossom.

A big thank you to the organizers of the 5th Annual Indigenous Cultural Fair at the Zion Memorial United Church in Carleton Place. Please be sure to stop by the fair on Saturday, May 9 from 9:30am - 3pm to take part in the many activities and Indigenous learning experiences.
