Thanks, Joyce!

We had a lot of fun last evening at the library! As part of our Special Guest Reader Program, we had Akron Boro Council member Joyce Moyer come and read to a group of children. She read us a story about a puppy growing up. She then shared pictures about her dog General. General is a Saint Bernard. She made special Saint Bernard cookies and let the children each take a picture of General home. I think everyone had a good time. We are looking for more special guest readers. We are hoping to get people from the community to come and share a book with the children. If you have a special hobby or interest, we can tie that into the story time as well. This is a great way to share the love of reading to children! Please contact the library if you are interested.

Italian Story Times!

Did you know that the best time to learn a language is when you are young. That is why we are very excited to offer an Italian story time. Unlike a regular story time, where a story is read, you sing a song and do a craft, the children will actually be learning some basic words in Italian. We are so lucky to have our director’s mom running the class. She will be reading a familiar story in English and telling what some of the words are in Italian. She has some fun activities planned to help make the language come alive to them. What a fun and easy way to learn a new language! The story times will be held the 2^nd and 4^th Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. Hope to see you there!
