The Green Free Library is open Monday-Thursday from
10:00 AM until
8:00 PM and Friday & Saturday from
10:00 AM-5:00 PM. Visitors please note that all parking is "on the street", except for one handicapped access parking spot behind the library that is shared with the Gmeiner. You must have the appropriate permits displayed to park in this spot.
The library is now accepting donations of gently used hardcover and paperback books. Please no textbooks, encyclopedias or magazines! We would also appreciate it if books are placed in sturdy boxes or at least doubled plastic grocery bags as they have to be carried downstairs to be sorted and packed for sales. There is a large bin on the side porch where donations can be placed at any time.
MONDAY JULY 22,2013
We need volunteers to help set up and work the Sizzling Summer Book Sale that will be held in a tent on the front lawn from Aug 3-Aug 10. Set up will take place Jul 31, Aug 1 & Aug 2nd. Volunteers must be at least 13 years old. Adults are needed as well!
Teen Book Club July 22
The teen group will hold a book discussion in the library’s upstairs conference room. The informal discussion will be on any books read surrounding the “Going Underground: Beneath the Mainstream” theme of subcultures which includes steampunk, steampunk, alternative/indie/underground music, survivalist, environmentalism/vegetarianism and gaming.
Need some suggestions? You can find a themed booklist on the Teen Book Club group page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/404844872892059/). If you didn't read anything that fits the theme this month, feel free to come anyway and talk about ones you've read in the past—or find something to add to your booklist!
Instead of a craft, the group will be having a book swap! Bring in five or so paperbacks you are willing to part with and leave with a few someone else has brought in. There will also be snacks from one of the library’s vegan cookbooks.
If you are a teen and can't make it to the library at that time, a discussion post will be available on the Teen Book Club group page as well (https://www.facebook.com/groups/404844872892059/). Please join the group for more information on the teen book club (invite your friends!).
The library will be giving away movies during the summer program—book discussion participants (including those who post on the group page during the 6-7 p.m. time) will be entered in a random drawing to win a movie related to the discussion theme. Everyone who reads at least 1000 minutes by the end of the program will be eligible for the grand prizes. Paper reading logs can be picked up at the library or you can log your minutes online.
The summer reading programs at the Green Free Library, Wellsboro, support the PA Forward initiative, created by the Pennsylvania Library Association and supported by businesses throughout the state. Specifically, the programs support basic and information literacies.
