February is "I Love My Library Month" at Monessen Public Library & Cultural Center. Please make a point to stop in to see what the library has to offer.
There are books, magazines, DVDs and other materials to borrow. Our Children's Room has been reorganized, and the library offers study and meeting rooms for groups and individuals. The fireplace area is perfect for reading the local and national newspapers. There is a continuous book sale offering gently used volumes. The Pennsylvania Room has many genealogical resources for studying family history. The library offers free WiFi for patrons with a current library card. Various programs are held in the library during the year. Keep current on events by picking up a copy of the library newsletter each month. Visit the library often!
The Children's StoryTime Program will offer two programs during the month of February. On Monday, February 9, at 6 p.m., preschool children can hear a Valentine's Day story and create their own unique valentine. On Monday, February 16, at 6 p.m., a salute to Presidents' Day will take place with a fun story and patriotic craft.
