Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-Up Month?

Signing up for a free library card at our library is easier than ever before! So long as an individual is at least 3 years of age and is a resident of Northumberland County, the only other things required are two forms of identification and a parent/guardian for those under 18.

Take a gander at all the autumn rag wreaths crafted yesterday evening by a group of very talented and creative local ladies. As always, be sure to keep an eye out for postings concerning upcoming events taking place at your local library!

Join us at the library next Tuesday, September 19 at 6 PM for our next STEM programming event presented by Bloomsburg Children’s Museum. At this month’s event, we will be learning the basics of leather tooling.
