SCHOOL AGE PROGRAMS INCLUDED BI-MONTHLY STEM CLASSES FOR HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS. OUR ADULT PROGRAMS INCLUDED A WEEKLY CROCHET GROUP AND A MONTHLY BOOK DISCUSSION. SOME OF OUR STAND-ALONE PROGRAMS HAVE NOW BECOME STAPLES THAT WE REPEAT. PEOPLE ASSOCIATE THEM WITH OUR LIBRARY AND LOOK FORWARD TO THEM EACH YEAR. EXAMPLES FROM 2024 INCLUDED THE ANNUAL BUBBLE FESTIVAL (HIGHLIGHTED IN THE 2025 PA SUMMER READING SHOWCASE), THE AUGUST FAIRY TALE FAIR, THE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR DAY INTERGENERATIONAL ARTS AND CRAFTS TO DECORATE THE LIBRARY, THANKSGIVING CENTER PIECE MAKING WEEKLONG DROP IN, AND SUMMER MOSAICS CLASSES LED BY THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR. 1145 THE LIBRARY CONTINUED TO PARTNER WITH WEST PIKELAND TOWNSHIP PARKS AND RECREATION ASSOCIATION TO OFFER A SUMMER IN THE PARKS SERIES OF FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT, SPRING AND FALL YOGA CLASSES AT PINE CREEK PARK, AND A COMMUNITY EGG HUNT IN THE SPRING.
