Another beautiful September is here, and though the days are full of school and allergies, there’s still lots of fun to be had at the library!

This month, we have a special edition of our regular Thursday reading and activity program for kids — boombas are coming to the library Sept. 18. The traditional Pennsylvania Dutch musical instrument will be demonstrated for us by experts.

Kids of all ages are invited to enjoy the wonder of boombas in action.

As always, our Thursday program is 4 p.m.
