Our What Are You Reading Now? book club will meet the fourth Tuesday of every month. The club meets 1 p.m. May 23.

The library will continue gathering items for the Snack Pack Pals program. We are helping Whitehall-Coplay School District students who are in need of nutritious foods to alleviate severe hunger during long weekends when free breakfast and lunch are not available at the school.
If you would like to make a food donation, see the list below and drop off donations during regular library hours. The following items are needed: shelf-stable milk boxes, macaroni and cheese (boxes and individual packets), Chef Boyardee (cans and microwaveable bowls), small boxes of cold cereal, fruit cups, applesauce cups, juice boxes/pouches, fruit snacks, packs of cheese/peanut butter crackers, graham crackers, granola bars and gallon-size resealable bags.
