In September, join us for a new fall session of storytimes. Baby Storytimes for ages 0-2 on Fridays include a playtime, short books and songs and bubbles. Toddler Storytimes for ages 2-3 on Wednesdays will have the wiggly ones moving with rhymes and songs while also enjoying books and crafts. Preschool Storytimes for ages 3-5 on Tuesdays feature books, songs, activities, and crafts. Register today by stopping in or calling the library at 570-587-3440.

There are still some seats available on the bus to New York City on Saturday, Nov. 17.

Thanks to those who participated in SummerQuest. We had a great summer here at the library, and enjoyed seeing so many friends here attending programs, checking out material, and stopping by to visit. All ages may continue to turn in their levels for prizes until Aug. 31, at which time raffle winners will be drawn and notified.
