We hope that everyone who came out for Book Bingo this week had a wonderful time and were able to take home some great new books for their personal libraries at home. Keep an eye out for future Book Bingo dates and times!
Be sure to mark your calendars for the library’s very first Book Bingo event! This coming Tuesday (Oct. 19th) at 6 PM, all ages are welcome to participate and play for the chance to win a book of their choice from a diverse selection of titles. This is a free event and no sign-up is required. Bingo cards and chips will be provided. We hope to see you all on Tuesday evening at 6 PM!
We had quite a fun time at the library this morning crafting pumpkins, corn, and spiders just in time for October! A very big thank you goes to Jeanne Shaffer and the Northumberland County Council for the Arts & Humanities for partnering with us to make programs like this possible. Be sure to keep an eye out for future events!
We hope everyone that attended our recent craft sessions had a wonderful time creating floral pumpkin décor items. Each group produced some very creative designs that can now be proudly displayed all through the season!
