Welcome to the Abington Public Library
What’s Happening at the Library
Touch a Truck and Face Painting
Saturday, September 12 from 1:00 – 2:30
We’re celebrating Saturday hours returning to the library’s schedule with face painting and a truck party! Friends of all ages are invited to drop by the library anytime from 1-2:30pm for the chance to see Abington’s coolest fire trucks, police cars, and dump trucks in the parking lot to the side of the library! Face painting will be available inside the library for those friends who would like to add a little sparkle to their appearance. Special thanks to the Abington Police Department, Fire Department, and D.P.W. for sharing their vehicles with our youngest library patrons. This is a drop-in event.

Prison Book Program Talk
Saturday, September 19 from 10:30—11:30
Join us for a talk by Kelly Brotzman, Executive Director of the Prison Book Program, about the importance of access to books and reading materials for incarcerated individuals. This talk will coincide with “Art from Inside”, an art display created by incarcerated individuals who have been helped by the Prison Book Program that will be available in our display case all through September.
We have at least one patron and one trustee who have been working with incarcerated individuals and know first hand the importance of this outreach.
