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.
