CONNEAUTVILLE - Welcome December! We have a lot of activities planned for the month. On Saturday, December 8, is Lego Club at 10:00. This is always a fun time with friends.
On Monday, December 10, we are offering a Beginners Sign Language Class at 5:00 for the entire family.
On Saturday, December 15, at 11:30 join us for ScratchJr - an introductory programming language that enables young children to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves -- then use the programming blocks to make their characters come to life.
On Thursday, December 27, we are hosting a Family Game Night at 4:30. This is a great way to enjoy a night out with the family while everyone is on Christmas break. If you are interested in any of the programs mentioned, please call the library at 587-2142 to sign up.
The Conneautville “Pay It Forward” contest has begun. Now is the time to check out the displays and vote for your favorite charity. Votes are $1.00 each and will be accepted Monday – Friday at the Conneautville Borough Office and at Stone Memorial Library. Get out and vote!
We are pleased that the library is becoming more of a community connection. More patrons are realizing that the library is not just about books. As we continue to offer a variety of programs and services we hope to have a positive impact on our community.
If you need something to get into the holiday spirit stop in to the library and check out our books, DVD’s, and music. We have an extensive variety to choose from.
Story time continues on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 if you would like to join us.
