On August 11th, Susan Resavy Presented a program on Caregiving. It was well received, and obviously is a topic of real importance for many in the Valley. But if you missed it, we just want to mention that the Library has free copies available of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging's "PA Care Kit" which features 4 worksheets you can fill out, as well as ten booklets about specific types of caregiving. Feel free to pick one up on your next visit to the Library. And let us know, would you like to see more programs about caregiving.

An updated photo of the Library's Give and Take Bookcase---the dinosaurs were already gone by the time I took the photo earlier today, and the brand new kids activity sticker sets I put out were gone within an hour of the photo being taken. But let's remember---if you take , you should be sure to give as well... That's the way to keep things interesting!

FRIENDS OF THE ELIZABETHVILLE LIBRARY BOOK CLUB SEPT 17TH

Love to read?

Love to talk about what you've read?

Then come to the Friends of the Elizabethville Library Book Club on Thursday September 17th at 5:30PM in the Meeting Room. It's OK if you didn't get time to read the monthly selection: come anyway and join in a lively discussion. Don't worry, there won't be a quiz. For more information: contact Emily at 717-422-1614 or [email protected]
We'll be discussing the magical realism romance novel "Expiration Dates" by Rebecca Serle:

Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there’s only a name: Jake.

But as Jake and Daphne’s story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper’s prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn’t, information that—if he found out—would break his heart.

Told with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart, Rebecca Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love. The result is a gripping, emotional, passionate, and (yes) heartbreaking novel about what it means to be single, what it means to find love, and ultimately how we define each of them for ourselves. "Expiration Dates" is the one fans have been waiting for.

Have you seen the Take 'N Leave bookcase at the Library? If you see something you need or like, feel free to take it.. but we do ask that you replace it with something someone else might need or like. This will be at the library through September, and perhaps longer if it is popular. We do ask that you don't leave food or books (children's activity/sticker books and adult coloring books are OK) As for me, I will be dropping off a set of three wooden puzzles later this week, if anyone is interested.

Join our staff at the Elizabethville Area Library for some relaxing crafting this Thursday, September 10th, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the community room. For those 15 and above. Registration is required. I believe there may be one or two seats still available. We'll be making wood and nail string art words. Will be back again the second Thursday of October making tic-tac-toe boards with air dry clay, and again in November, we'll be doing embroidery kits. In December, we'll be making no-sew quilted ball ornaments. All materials will be provided. Hope to see you on Thursday!
