What's New

The Library is filled with a constant stream of summer readers of all ages.  Bring the family and come join in the fun!  It's not too late to sign up for the Summer Reading Program offered to pre-schoolers through the teen years.  Participants win prizes for reading library books during the summer based on their age group.  There are also door prizes, contest, costumes to try on, and many exciting activites planned.  AND it's all FREE!  We would like to thank our sponsors who help make the Summer Reading Program a success by donating prizes:  Kellogg's, May's Restaurant, McDonald's of Hughesville, Knoebels, Subway, and Muncy Pool.  A special thank you to Target for their substantial monetary donation.
