Stone Memorial Library
CONNEAUTVILLE - The Summer Library Challenge is off to a fantastic start! The fun continues every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. at Lord Mason Park. Along with the special events we have planned, we have also been challenging the children with other activities on a bingo card. They have been drawing robots, charting the weather, doing puzzles, and of course reading. It has been very busy and encouraging to have so many children excited about the library! The following is a list of upcoming events:
• July 9th – Civil Air Patrol
• July 16th – Erie Zoo
• July 23rd – Tom Atkins –Meteorologist from JET 24 Action News. This will be held at Rolling Fields @ Noon.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every child participated in summer learning, and as a result, raised literacy rates throughout the area? Children learn best when their learning is not interrupted – and summer vacation is a long interruption!
Without practice, children forget facts and important “how to” skills. The Springboro Public Library’s Summer Library Program helps children’s minds to stay active by bridging the gap between school years.
Nurturing basic literacy skills is one of the goals of PA Forward Pennsylvania Libraries, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Library Association.
Research shows that a child’s library use raises his or her fourth grade assessment scores.
Help spark learning in all of children this summer by supporting and participating in the Summer Library Program.
