EGYPTOLOGY PROGRAM NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Our very popular series of programs with Dr. Steve Phillips from the University of Pennsylvania is in danger of coming to an end. State budget cuts have eliminated funding for the outreach program, so if Dr. Steve is to come back, we need to raise the funds ourselves. The program has never been free. Ardent supporters of the program have helped pay for it by buying commemorative coffee mugs for each program. The challenge now is that we need to sell a lot of mugs to meet the total cost of the program and travel expenses. The mugs will feature Dr. Steve's photo, and the older mugs are still available if you want a complete set. Contact Karen Roszel at the library if you can help. Cost: $20 a mug.

JOIN THE DINERS' CLUB THIS MONTH

In May, the Diners' Club will meet on Tuesday, 14 May; Wednesday, 22 May and Thursday, 30 May at Ruby Tuesday, the restaurant where the Diners' Club began. Drop by the library to pick up your voucher, or click HERE to print. The library will receive 20% of your check when you present your voucher. You may call for reservations, 570-389-9750 or go to www.rubytuesday.com.

We'd like to thank all who have dined, and all the fine restaurants who have made this fund raiser possible: Ruby Tuesday, Marley's, Turkey Hill Pub, Quaker Steak and Lube, Balzano's, The Wagon Shed, Oliran, Capitol Restaurant, Pine Barn Inn, Applebee's, Terrapin Cantina, and the Lightstreet Hotel.

TODDLER TIME!

Toddler Time is a twenty-minute program of stories, songs and fun open to people eighteen months to three years of age. It begins at 9:15 on Mondays.

DIG INTO READING!

Looking forward to something is part of the fun. Sign up now for Summer Reading Club and look forward to a summer of reading fun--and stories, crafts, games and prizes.

For independent readers age six and up.

SUMMER FUN FOR GOOD LISTENERS

Preschoolers age three to five can look forward to weeks of storytime fun when they join the Read-to-Me Club. Beginning at 10:00 AM on 12 June, there will be half an hour of stories followed by a new project to color every week. Everyone who signs up will have a personalized certificate to stick a sticker to every week. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Visitors and walk-ins are welcome at both programs.

LONELY SOCK CLUB DOUBLE HEADER!

It's crafts for adults and teens, and in May it's Greeting Card Bowls, with guest artist Joann Heimbach on 16 May. It's the best way yet to use up all those cards you were too sentimental to toss.
On 23 May we'll go back to the beginning with Sock Creatures--on beyond the Monkey. Bring your imagination--all other materials will be provided.
The club meets at 6:30 PM in the Fireplace Lounge.
