May Virtual Programming
May 26, 2020
While we are closed due to the Pennsylvania Department of Education instruction, as part of the ongoing effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, we hope you will join us virtually for some of our services on Facebook Live.
Daily, we’ll have a variety of programming on Facebook and Facebook Live for all ages. Additionally, we’ll be sharing specialized programs via ZOOM to engage with you in real time. Books have the power to transport us and we hope you’ll take a few moments out of your day to spend time with some friendly faces.
*Join us on our NEW Facebook page dedicated to our children’s programming: Abington Community Library for Kids.*
