Winter Homeschool Program Update

Unfortunately, our Fire & Rescue presentation for Homeschoolers on Thursday, January 11, has been cancelled due to low enrollment. We’ll try scheduling our firefighters again later this year. All of our other kids’ workshops and programs will go on as scheduled. 

Our teen homeschool program, World Cultures: Japan, will continue as scheduled on Thursday, January 11 at 2 pm. This is part 1 of a 2 part program, including a project that will begin this week and continue into next week’s session. Because of this, the teen librarian would like registrants to attend both sessions. 

What are our other programs for the winter? Check them out here:

Read Down Your Fines

Have a fine you need to pay off? No problem! This month, tweens and teens can read off their late fees here at the library. For youth ages 9-18 in school. Get a $1 off your fine when you read for 30 minutes in the library. Ask a youth librarian for more information!

New Year, New Programs!

The new year is here! Start it off right by getting a library card and coming to our programs!

This month, 2 new programs begin:
Adventures in Painting allows families to experiment and discover painting techniques and materials.
Problem Solvers is a fun way to strengthen math skills.

Plus, we'll be hosting our first TechTacular where we'll be showcasing some of the cool new tech toys and programs we plan to offer in the spring. 

Is it too cold for you to visit the library? No problem! Use your library card to check-out books, movies, and music from YOUR OWN HOUSE. Check out our eMedia page to get started: http://readingpubliclibrary.org/rpl-at-your-fingertips/

Need a card? Literally any one can get an eCard, regardless of fines or whether or not you have PA state ID.

Have fines? This month, tween and teens can read off their late fees right here in the library.

A book is a dream...

The great thing about Neil Gaiman's books is that he's written books for everyone: little ones, students, adults. Your whole family could pick up a different book by him and read together happily.

We always love to read about our library in the newspaper, so we were doubly excited to see that our author visit with Shane Burcaw made it into the Reading Eagle!
