Stone Memorial Library
CONNEAUTVILLE - Stone Memorial Library began curbside Pickup Service on June 15, 2020. You may reserve books online using our “holds” feature, or by calling us at 814-587-2142 and make your request over the phone during our updated business hours.
Please note that all online hold requests will not be filled until the next business day. We will contact you to schedule a pickup time once we have filled your request. All pickups will be bagged and ready for you in front of the library at the agreed upon time.
We are unfortunately not able to offer any service inside of the building at this time, including computer access, materials browsing, or copying. We do still provide free WiFi, which can be accessed outside of our building. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 814-587-2142. We are willing to work with you during this time and do what it takes to get our books in the hands of those who want to read them!
All currently checked out materials had an updated due date of July 1. You may return materials in our book drop or choose to place them in the plastic bin we will have placed outside on the sidewalk in front of the library while we are on site.
We also kicked off our Summer Reading Program on June 15, as well! Readers of all ages are encouraged to participate. This year we have a new online platform where you can track your reading progress, compete for prizes, and participate in other activities. You can sign up for an account with our Summer Reading Program online at: http://stone.readsquared.com There is no cost to sign up.
No internet access? We are also offering a paper participation option. Please contact us at 814-587-2142 to sign up and schedule a time to pick up materials.
We will also continue to host our Weekly Children’s storytime virtually via Facebook with two new additions during the Summer Reading Program! Tuesdays at 10 am Miss Julie will be performing her always fun Story Hour geared towards preschoolers and families, including themed stories, crafts, and snack suggestions.
We will also be kicking off our “Read Aloud Rendezvous” virtual story times for older children. Join us again via Facebook on Thursdays at 2 pm as Miss Julie reads stories appropriate for our “growing readers” - ages 6 to 8 years old - and on Tuesdays at 2 pm as Miss Lauren reads stories for the tweens - ages 9 to 12 years old.

Springboro Library happenings
- A Gold Level Library -
SPRINGBORO - Our Summer reading program has begun!! We got off to a slow start as we had to change our usual system to accommodate the covid restrictions. Everyone needed to register online instead of coming into the library in person. Books must also be reserved online. The program will continue through August 16th. If you are not able to register online, please call us to make arrangements. The theme this year is “Imagine Your Story” and features all the imaginary creatures and characters that are consistently popular entertainment. However, all books that have been read count towards earning prizes.
We have some great prizes this year for all ages. There are games, toys, adult and teen coloring books, journals, travel mugs and much more.
When visiting the library for pick ups, please adhere to our state /city regulations by wearing a mask and keeping your distance. Patrons can pick up their check outs just inside the main entrance of the library. All returns must be put in the book drop on the side of the building. They will be quarantined and sanitized before going back into circulation.
For those of you still waiting on our next shipment of new books, we expect them this week. In the meantime, you can check out the latest fiction titles from Jim Butcher, Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele and David Lagercrantz. New non-fiction titles include: “The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook”, “Execution”, “Food Fix” and “The Volunteer”. Some new movies should be in this week as well. Check out the list posted on our window by the front door.
And remember, pre-school story time will be on our Facebook page during the lock down. The videos are designed to help kids with all the activities they participate in at school. Small children can safely participate and/ or sing along without leaving home.
Are you interested in learning a new career or advancing your knowledge of a favorite hobby? Or do you just want to earn college credits? Check out our website’s Universal classes. All you need is a library card. All classes are free! There are special interest courses, such as Digital Photography, Babysitting, cooking and accounting on the Universal Class website.
Remember, it is free to get a library card for kids and adults. There are many benefits. Take advantage of all your library has to offer. We aim to provide the most current educational materials as well as entertainment media and programs for our community.
Until September, we are purging the shelves to make room for new materials. Stop by and check out our front room for best sellers. Some used books, movies, magazines and CDs will be given away also.
