Welsh Road Library

Final reminder that today is the day to catch some wonderful live music. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, come out at 4PM today for a delightful, free concert with an extremely talented violinist.

The weekend is almost upon us, but wanted to send a reminder that early next week, Tuesday 9/22 at 4PM, we'll be hosting a live performance by Luigi Mazzochi, a Venezuelan violinist with tremendous talent.

From our friends at Fox Chase Library

While we screen media related to The Exorcist (1973) horror film, we will gather every other Saturday in the library to sit with and discuss the many issues around things like family, friends, love and fear that the movie brings up for us as filmgoers.

Alternate Saturdays beginning Sept 19th, 11 am - 1 pm.

We've unofficially welcomed Fall this past Labor Day weekend, and Welsh Road Library is rolling right along into the new season.

Our Read Baby Read storytimes start back up tomorrow, Wednesday September 9, at 12 PM. This will also mark the return of our Monday storytimes, also at noon.

And we're fit to bursting to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, which starts next week. Join us here in just two weeks on September 22nd at 4 PM, for a mid day concert with a wonderful Venezuelan Classical Violinist. You won't want to miss that performance!

Welsh Road will be closing today at 1 PM and closed on Monday in observance of the Labor Day holiday.

Get ready though because next Wednesday, 9/9, starts Welsh Road's long awaited return to storytime. Every Monday at noon (for children 0-5) and every Wednesday (for children 0-2), we'll be reading stories and singing songs. Please join us!!

As we start to head back to school and resume daily routines around classrooms and homework, Welsh Road wants to remind everyone that we offer homework help and small arts and crafts each day thanks to our wonderful LEAP program. Please see the September calendar for upcoming fun activities.

Welsh Road Library is excited to highlight the wonderful efforts of LAMP (Library of Accessible Media for Pennsylvanians). We are happy to assist patrons in signing up for this service anytime. Please stop in today and ask to learn more.

Welsh Road Library has gotten a few calls today about free back to school supplies with some sites suggesting we are hosting an event tomorrow at noon. Unfortunately, this is not the case and Welsh Road is NOT giving away back to school supplies at this time. There are a small few select libraries that are having Back to School supply events but we are not among them.

Additionally, there is no Stevie the Inventor book signing today. That will be at a later date.

Please see this link for more information about who is offering what:
