Girls can join at any time throughout the year. General meetings are held the first Saturday of each month at Wayman-Quinn AME Church, 318 McKee Ave., Monessen.

Local Christian fiction Indie author Dionne (Ford) Wilson will visit the library on Saturday, May 31 from 2 to 3 p.m. as part of the 'Celebrate Spring' book event. There will be a book reading and signing of Wilson's published book, Do Unto Others. The book follows three friends as they learn what it truly means to be a friend and how to choose right over wrong during the summer season in their small hometown of Emmanuel. The book can be preordered at a discounted rate of $8/book by calling the library at 724-684-4750. Preorder sales start on Thursday, May 1 and end Thursday, May 15. All money is due when the order is placed. The cost of the book will be $10 on the day of the event.

The 'Celebrate Spring' book event is for girls ages 7-12. All girls must be accompanied by an adult, and the event is open to the public. The event includes refreshments, $5 keepsake photos taken by T. Britton Photography, $1 Chinese auction, games, prizes, music and more! Please RSVP for the event no later than Saturday, May 17 by contacting Dave at 724-684-4750 or at author.dwilson@yahoo.com.

Monessen Public Library & Cultural Center will be closed for the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, May 26.

The annual spring book sale continues at the library. Books continue to be added weekly, so visit each week for new selections.

Clare McMullen will host her monthly "Beginning Genealogy" class on Saturday, May 10 at 11 a.m. in the Pennsylvania Room. Her topic will be "World War II resources and the Family Tree." The war displaced families and destroyed places and records. The Russian sphere of influence in bringing communism to many European countries following the war further complicated the search for genealogical sources. The class is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

The Mon Valley Genealogy Forum will meet on Monday, May 19 at 5:30 p.m. in the Reading Area of Monessen Library. Lynne Thompson, museum educator, and Bruce Wells, restorer, of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington, PA, will do a multi-media presentation about the era of trolley transportation. The event will include touchable artifacts, stories, and the history of trolleys in mass transportation and their use in local communities. Light refreshments will be served.

Jill Godlewski, children's librarian, along with the Brothers Grimm, will salute fairy tales during the month of May. StoryTime sessions are held each Monday at 6 p.m. in the upstairs Children's Room. An elevator is available to easily reach the upstairs section of the library. On Saturday, May 31, at 11 a.m., the "Three Story Saturday" recap of the month's story sessions will be held. Wednesday Crafternoons are held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. each week. Children are to be accompanied by a parent or guardian when visiting the Children's Room.

New books are being cataloged in preparation for the upcoming Summer Reading Program that focuses on science. Check out the new book displays in the Children's Room and be the first to check out the new materials!

Look for the 'Monessen Little Library" stations that are being installed at the corner of 3rd and Donner, Monessen City Park and the Monessen Senior Center. They will contain books that children can take to read and then return or keep as their very own.

The library is looking for individuals who are willing to advise and/or work on fundraising events as part of a team working with the Board of Trustees. Please contact the library if interested.

Monessen Public Library is located at 326 Donner Ave. in Monessen and can be reached at 724-684-4750.
