2010 Book sale

From the Virtual Desk of the Director,

Thanks to everyone who made the 2010 Peoples Library Booksale another great success.  This event is our most successful fundraiser every year and it would not be possible without the tireless work of the volunteers and the extroordinary generosity of the community.  (Over 42,000 items were donated this year.)  Special thanks to everyone who purchased items at our sale, whether you bought 1 pound or 100 pounds, the event would not be possible without your amazing support.

Thanks again and remember, we start collecting books for the 2011 book sale on January 3, 2011 in barrels at our New Kensington and Lower Burrell locations.

Summer Reading: Make a Splash! @ Peoples Library

Want to use a super sudsoaker, make science in a bottle, or learn how to grow a garden? How about participate in an Art Camp or Math Camp? Perhaps you'd like to learn how to use real microscopes at our Bioscience Camp!

These are just a few of the cool events we are offering this summer. Running from June 21st through August 13th, the Summer Reading program encourages readers of all ages can set a reading goal, keep track of their progress, and collect cool prizes at the end.
