Library has loads of programs, contest, and events for all ages this summer
The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library has so much to look forward to this summer! In addition to our ever-expanding Summer Reading Program, the library has lots of contests, programs and fundraisers for everyone this summer.
June will be full of color as we launch our Name the Worm contest. As some may know, the children’s section of the library was recently named the “Anna English Youth Area” and the bookworm on the signage needs a name. Going now through July 1, the contest is open to children ages 5-12 and each participant will get their own bookworm plush.
Complete the coloring sheet available online and at the library and choose a name for our newest library friend (the worm). Completed coloring sheet and attached form should be submitted to the library no later than Saturday, July 1, 2023.
Winner will be chosen by blind poll (online and in newspaper) and announced July 21. The winner will receive a gift card to Sheetz courtesy of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services and an Amazon gift card from the library.
Beginning June 12, the library will once again offer their Summer Snack Attack program. Children ages 2-18 are welcome to come by the library once a day and get a free snack pack. Each pack consists of a juice and a small snack. Limit one snack pack per child per day. No registration or signup is needed and snacks will be made available through August.
The library has another set of computer and iphone classes coming June 27 at 11 am and 12 pm in partnership with the Community Education Center. Each class is only $10 and you can register directly with the CEC by calling 814-781-3437.
They will also be hosting a Medicare workshop July 20 from 1-3 pm and there will be more details released about that program later in June.
Another big book sale will also be coming your way in conjunction with Weekend in the Wilds, June 29, 30 and July 31 during regular library hours. We will have loads of books, magazines, puzzles, DVDs, and CDs. As always, items are sold on a donation basis, so just give what you can by placing money in the donation boxes made available throughout the sale.
The Friends of the Library will also be holding their annual membership drive throughout the summer. If you have not donated in recent years, but would like to be added to their mailing list to support the library, please contact Library Staff at 814-486-8011 or by emailing info@barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org and ask to be added to the Friends of the Library mailing list. You can also volunteer your time by completing the volunteer registration form at https://barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org/friends/.
Also coming this summer, we will have Kanopy video streaming services, offer a community puzzle, bring back our Teen Dissection Camp in August, launch new library items and loads more.
