Join us in congratulating our amazing Annie-Laure Woappi and celebrating our AWARD-WINNING Senior Health and Wellness Workshops!

On Tuesday, October 6th, staff attended the Pennsylvania Library Association Conference, and our very own Adult Services Manager Annie-Laure Woappi accepted TWO PA Forward Adult Literacy Programming awards for her weekly Senior Health and Wellness Workshops: the 2026 Best Health Literacy Program Award and the overall Best Adult Literacy Program Award.

PA Forward is a state literacy initiative that highlights "the five literacies"—skills that are essential to success, progress, and quality of life: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy. Guthrie Memorial Library is a Gold Star Library and strives to educate our community on these five literacies with our free programs.

The Senior Health and Wellness Workshops meet every Tuesday at 10:15 am in the library's Bare Center. These weekly workshops often begin with a speaker that teaches us about a new topic in health and wellness, game, or activity, and ends with a free hot lunch* and social hour. To register, please call 717-632-5183.

*You must be 65 or older to receive a hot lunch.
