Last Thursday we celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday at our 11 a.m. StoryTime! Books, hats, crafts, cake and fun was had. We’d like to send out a special thank you to Karen Goss of Clarion County Promise for coming in and helping out! Remember StoryTime is every Thursday at 11 a.m. and we also have WiggleTime on Monday mornings at 11 a.m.

Next month’s big Story Time event will be Thursday, April 8th at 11 a.m. We will be having an Easter Egg Hunt that day here in the library for children ages 1-4. Come down and join in the fun!

Also happening in April is an awesome Super Saturday activity! Tie dye t-shirts!! Saturday, April 3rd at 12:30 p.m. anyone age 13 to 17 is invited to bring a clean white t-shirt down to the library to do some fun tie dying with Lesa and Rachel! See what kind of awesome designs you can make!

Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library is selling Daffin’s Candy Bars!!! We have Milk Chocolate, Rice Crisp, Peanut Butter, and Caramel available for one dollar a bar to help support the library. Pick up a few to go along with the movies you can rent from us for 50 cents a piece, or to go along with a book you can borrow for free! Chocolate goes great with everything!

Rimersburg Parking Permits are available here at Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library. Cost is $25 for one year. Just ask at the Circulation Desk.

Pennsylvania State Tax Forms are at the library! If you’ve been waiting for yours just stop on down and pick them up. We also have 2009 Rent Rebates as well.

Don’t forget to take a chance on our 50/50 Raffle happening now through April 24th where you could be the lucky winner of some cold hard cash! The library, as well as our Friends of the Library group, is selling tickets for a dollar a ticket or 6 tickets for $5 to help raise money to support the library! We are avidly attempting to do what we can to offset the budget cuts the library has received this year from the State. Even if you do not win the Raffle you still help make a big difference in your community by donating to a great cause: free access to information and resources for all.

Due to the volume of things going on at the library in March the library will be holding their Spring Fling Book Sale in April instead! Thursday, April 22nd through Saturday, April 24th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. you can stop in and fill up on bags of books for just a buck for a bag! We have thousands of materials to sell from fiction to movies on DVD and VHS, as well as children’s books of all kinds. Accompanying the Book Sale will also be an awesome Bake Sale! So bring along some extra change to grab some goodies after you shop the Book Sale!
