Springboro Library happenings
SPRINGBORO - Learn about famous women throughout history as we pay tribute for Women’s history month. Also, enjoy all that’s Irish this month as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Stop by and check out our window displays (one of which will be decorated by a local Girl Scout troup) to learn about St. Patrick as well as many famous women in our two front window displays. And yes, you can check out the books on display.
We’d like to thank some patrons who have made dedications and memorials this year. A wonderful donation was given by Springboro’s own Amicus Club. A memorial was dedicated to John Wade by Jean White and June Braden. And a generous donation by Vance Neal of Alaska was dedicated to Bruce and Jen Neal of Springboro. Dedications are placed inside the front cover of books and memorials can be viewed on the paneling next to our conference table in the back. Donations help the library function properly. The help from our considerate donors and volunteers, throughout the year keep us going strong. We are very grateful!
Also thanks to Northern Pennsylvania Regional College for sending a representative on 3/4/19 to discuss continuing education. Anyone who missed out can stop by for information.
