Tredyffrin Public Library will close for the month of July.

Tredyffrin Public Library must close for the entire month of July. During the month, the entry parking lot will be renovated, staff offices and the Children's Library will move to the new upper level and construction will begin on the lower level.

The Children's Summer Reading Program at Tredyffrin Public Library has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our young readers and welcome you to join the Paoli Library Summer Reading Club. Please contact Elektra Greer at 610.296.7996 if you are interested. Easttown Library and Information Center, Phoenixville Public Library, and Radnor Memorial Library also have active summer reading programs. To accommodate the needs of area teenagers and children looking for best sellers and books on summer reading lists, the Tredyffrin librarians have transferred a collection of books to Easttown Library and Information Center, 720 First Avenue, Berwyn.

Teen and adult programs will be limited or relocated. Information on programs as well as holds, withdrawals and returns will be available at Tredyffrin Public Library or on the website, www.tredyffrinlibraries.org after June 10.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience the closing may cause. Please call Tredyffrin Public Library at 610.688.7092 if you have any questions.

Easy Ways to Help
Paoli Library and Tredyffrin Public Library

Acme Register Tapes

Bring us your Acme register tapes. The Devon and Paoli Acmes will donate one percent of your purchase. Both Tredyffrin Public Library and Paoli Library have baskets at the front desk to receive your tapes.

Adopt-a-Shelf at Tredyffrin Public Library

Tredyffrin Public Library is looking for Adopt-a-Shelf volunteers. "Adopt" a shelf in your favorite subject area—such as gardening, do-it-yourself or military history—by keeping it neat and orderly. This ensures people can find the books where they're supposed to be. A book that can't be found because it's shelved in the wrong place is effectively lost! You'll get a first look at new titles as they come in! Make your own hours—work as much or as little as you like.

Paoli Library Offers Programs for Brownie Troops

Paoli Youth Services will be available for hosting three "Try-It Programs" for area Brownie Troops. Bring in your troop for an afternoon of learning, sharing and fun! Contact Elektra Greer for more information and details and to reserve the activity room. She can be reached at 610.296.7996 or egreer@ccls.org.
