Join a book club that features good conversation, variety of reading options, and a chance to make friends!

Interested adults are encouraged to come to a relaxed, monthly gathering to talk about a book that all participants have read. Future books will be determined by the group and selected from one of the library's "Book Club in a Bag" list of titles. Please contact the Edinboro Branch Library to reserve your copy. Registration is required for this free program.

This month's selection is Savage Conversations by LeAnne Howe.

Children are invited to come and refine their reading skills with the most engaged audience imaginable: a therapy dog!

All children are welcome to come and read to a therapy dog! Join Willie Nelson or Skye and practice your reading skills. Therapy dogs are gentle, non-intimidating listeners who are always happy to hear a story (or 10!) from readers of all skill levels. Reading aloud to a dog has proven to be a useful means of encouragement for reluctant readers.

If you are a kid who likes bricks, blocks, and being boisterous, then you should come join the Building Buddies Brigade!

The community room is open weekly to allow children to get to know each other and play together using Edinboro's extensive supply of building materials. There is no supervision and no agenda: just a room full of building materials and enough space for everyone to have fun making something (and of course knocking it down). KEVA blocks, Lincoln Logs, Bankers Box Bricks and more will be available. Children of all ages are welcome, and parents can enjoy the chance to meet other parents in the community. Recommended age is 1 to 6 years old, although older children can accompany younger siblings.

Join our library-based garden club for one (or both!) of its monthly meetups.

Tired of just talking to the roses about how the beans are handling the summer heat? Join us for some gardener to gardener conversation. Plant enthusiasts of all philosophies and experience levels are welcome. This group provides a comfortable environment for all of those questions and ideas that you’ve been whispering to the bees.

Gardeners travel between two of our locations. Sessions take place in the Millcreek Library's Community Room on the first Thursday of the month, and then meet for a different session at the Blasco Library in the Community Classroom on the last Thursday of the month. Attend the gatherings that work best for you. Come see how the library’s resources can help you and your garden grow.
