September is the start of the Fall season, and CADL is packed with exciting activities and resources we’d love to highlight!
Smokey Bear Reading Challenge
From September 16 to October 31, CADL is hosting the Smokey Bear Reading Challenge. This challenge invites kids and caregivers to read books and engage in fun activities while learning about wildfire prevention and the environment. It’s a great way to inspire your young ones to care for nature and understand the importance of protecting our planet.

We’ve filled the month with engaging events for kids of all ages.

Support for Students
As the school year kicks off, CADL offers a range of student support resources for grades K-12, including tutoring, study materials, and quiet spaces at our various locations.
September is Library Card Sign Up Month, so we welcome you to apply for a library card and join CADL’s community to read books for free, win giveaways, and experience life as a CADL member!
Walk Your Way to Reading with StoryWalk®!
Capital Area District Libraries has multiple stories for you and your family to enjoy!
StoryWalk® encourages families to enjoy reading and the outdoors by posting a children’s book – a page or two at a time – at intervals in a park, hiking trail or other outdoor site. StoryWalk includes activities like talking, reading, writing, singing and playing to help your child develop important early literacy skills.
