WILD WELLSBORO WEATHER

Look what I found behind The Green Free Library when I came to work today! For the record, it is Tuesday, October 12, 2010, and way too early for snow! Even here in Tioga County, PA.

Though if you think about it, there are ony 74 days until CHRISTMAS!!!!;)

CLOSED FOR CHRISTMAS

The Green Free Library will be closed until Monday December 28th (Opening at 10:00 AM) Please return books in the bookdrop, but remember-NO VIDEOS, DVDS, AUDIO CASSETTES, MUSIC CDS OR BOOKS ON CD may be put in the bookdrop! If you need to renew books or audio material, please call 724-4876 and leave a message or renew on line through MY Millennium. Thank you, and have a nice and safe holiday.

NEW TITLES FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN

Our collection of books for children from birth to about 3^rd grade is very popular. The addition of the following titles is sure to please current and future readers. The Green Free Library has been privileged to be able to keep providing new books and other materials, as well as the weekly story-hour programs throughout the school year, and the summer reading program during that season. We hope the support we receive through grants and donations will let us continue to provide these much needed services, and the fun ones like the Kids Computer and the play area.
