This Week at the Library: The new Fall Routine

We’re getting into the new school year routine here at the library, and we hope you are, too. Storytimes and adult computer classes are back in full swing.

We’re in the middle of . If you haven’t heard about that, read this post and find out about the Smartest Card… and how you could win a $25 gift card to Pickles Steakhouse! It’s a busy month for library observations in September, because on top of Library Card Sign-up Month, we’re soon approaching Banned Book Week at the end of the month.

This week at the library:

Tuesday: 4 year old storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. Advanced registration is required for storytimes, as there’s a limit to how many kids I can fit into the program room, plus advanced registration helps me prepare for the right number of kids… not ending up “short” or wasting craft supplies when people don’t show, and there’s an age cutoff date of 9/12 based on the East Penn School District. Contact us if you’re interested.

Wednesday: 3 year old storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. Again, advanced registration is required for storytimes, for the same reasons as above.

Intro to Microsoft Word 2007; 11am-1pm. Advanced registration and $5 fee required. Class will help you learn the basic skills to understand and use Word, which is the word processing program that makes documents easier to create, share, and read.

Thursday: 2 year old storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. Again, advanced registration is required for storytimes.

Genealogy Basics; 11am-1pm. Topics will include the basics of researching your family history using library databases and other online resources.

Friday: Baby Lapsit, 9:30am, a “beginner storytime”/introduction to the library for children who were 11 months old or younger as of 9/12/12; advanced registration required.

Ones Storytime, 10:30am; a “beginner storytime”/introduction to the library for children who were between 12-23 months  as of 9/12/12; advanced registration required.

So that’s it for this week. Looking ahead, we have former MUFON investigator John Royer coming next Tuesday night for a presentation on local UFO sightings. There are a lot of people signed up for that program already, but if you’re interested, please contact the library for details.
