Make-a-Palooza!
Saturday, September 23 – 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm STEAM up your engines with a family maker day at the library! Build with LEGOs, experiment with robotics, play with great tech toys, meet the inventor of the Play Impossible Gameball and learn how it works, and make something great with the library’s brand new 3D printer. Explore the amazing powers of science, technology, engineering, art, and math together!

Tech at Reference Desk
Jeff Seebold, Technology Training Services Coordinator, has relocated to the Reference desk to offer tech assistance to our users. Jeff’s new workspace was made possible through the generous donations of family and friends in memory of Dick Steffensen, a dedicated volunteer and furniture designer for Pennsylvania House and Brodart, who passed away this summer. Jeff continues to offer one-on-one tech tutoring. To schedule an appoinment with Jeff call 570-523-1172.
Graphic Novel Collection Expanded
Dive into some classic reads like King Lear and Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare and Great Expectations by Charles Dickens which enhance the selection of graphic novels. These additions were made possible with grant support from the G. Scott and Bessie K. Guyer Foundation. Graphic novels are fun and engaging and are great for readers who are looking to pair difficult texts with a visual component.
