Smart 911

Thanks so everyone who visited our table at the 5k/Health Fair last Saturday.  Some of you learned about Smart 911 available in Blair County.  Smart 911 allows you to provide information to the 911 service which would be vital in an emergency.  You can list the medical conditions and allergies of your family.  This information would then be available to 911 should you need their services.  It could be a lifesaver.  Come into the library and learn more.  We can help you sign up.

Spring!

I took the snowflakes down from the Easy Reader section.  It’s about time!  Hopefully that’s the end of them for a long time. The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Tax Deadline

Don’t forget to file your income taxes.  The deadline for federal and state income tax filings is Tuesday April 17.  We still have federal, state and local tax forms available.

Maker Space

We have a maker space where you can create your own Christmas Card.  Iris folding and pinbroidery patterns are available.  Make a card for a special friend!
