SEPTEMBER SPOTLIGHTS
Library Card Sign-up Month
This September, celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month. The theme is “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” which reminds us that libraries are more than books. We’re for everyone — supporting every age, background, interest and goal.
Friends of ACL Open House
Meet the Friends of Abington Community Library on Saturday, Sept. 6 and learn how this impressive group of people support and enhance your Library! Food for the first 80 visitors (library or friends).

ACL is excited to host its first Local Author Fair on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 1p.m. Meet 20-plus talented authors from Northeast Pennsylvania, explore books in all genres, and hear the stories behind their work.
