Harlem Library

Come hang out at the library! Enjoy the cool comfort as you read a magazine or newspaper, work on the puzzle, browse through the stacks or use a computer. Families are encouraged to enjoy the children’s section with building blocks, puzzles, magnetic tiles, puppets, and of course books!

The Book Challenge for August is to read a book set in a school. If you have completed the July challenge be sure to notify the library so your name can be entered to win a gift certificate from a local business.

Just a reminder there will be no children’s programs in August. Programming will resume after Labor Day.

The library was given an adorable stuffed black cat! We are having a contest to give it a name. You may vote at the library or on our Facebook page.
