Panther Valley Public Library

09/01/2026

📚 September is Library Card Sign-Up Month!

Do you have a library card? If you live in the Panther Valley School District — Lansford, Summit Hill, Nesquehoning or Coaldale — a Panther Valley library card is FREE!

And a library card gives you access to so much more than books. Throughout September, we’ll be highlighting some of the ways your local library can be a resource for you and your family.

Whether you’re looking for your next great read, need to use a computer, want to print something, are looking for a community program, or simply want to discover something new, we’re here for you.

🖤💛 Stop by the library and get your free library card!

Stay tuned every week this month as we highlight another reason to make your local library part of your routine.

📚 Book Talk! 📚

Carley Fortune’s newest novel, Our Perfect Storm, has readers talking!

Some readers are calling it one of her best yet, while others say it didn’t quite live up to their favorites. Either way, it’s sparked plenty of conversation—and now we’re curious…

💬 Have you read Our Perfect Storm? What did you think? (No spoilers, please!)

If you haven’t picked it up yet, we have a copy waiting for you at the library. We also have Meet Me at the Lake and One Golden Summer if you’re looking to dive into more of Carley Fortune’s books this summer.

❤️ Which Carley Fortune novel is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
