Sewickley Public Library

Hey, teens! We're celebrating the first official day of summer by preparing for a full week of exciting programs.

Start your week with Teen Bring Your Own Book Club (on Monday from 10 to 11:30am), and stop by the Sewickley Public Library every weekday for a new event!

Intrigued?? Learn more about Teen BYOBook Club and our week of exciting crafts, food activities, and indoor and outdoor games by visiting our events calendar: https://shorturl.at/0d5iV. 😎

One last time-- THANK YOU all for a wonderful BOOK STOP 2026! Especially: Sewickley Valley Community Fund, The United Way, Monark Student Transportation, Sewickley Valley YMCA, Sewickley Public Library Staff & Family volunteers, Quaker Valley School District- Teachers & Maintance Staff, Leetsdale Borough- Henle Park, & Station 46 Fair Oaks Fire Department!

Sewickley Public Library can help your kids avoid "Summer Slide"! Many children experience some learning loss over the summer months away from school, causing them to fall behind when they get back to school.
Your library helps prevent that with some fun, free opportunities!

**Register for informative, fun programs: We often partner with local professionals, such as environmental educators, artists, authors, etc. to offer unique programs for our patrons. Our staff provides many interactive storytimes too!
**Download and print 'Summer Stay-on-Track' Packs from Scholastic Teachables, which are accessed for free with your Sewickley Public Library Card! SPL Children's online offers other resources for learning fun, as well as Teachables.
**Register for Dog Tales: One Sunday a month, the Children's Dept. hosts therapy dogs who love to listen to young readers practice reading to become more confident, fluent, and capable.
**We have books for everyone! Plus, electronic resources for those who are without access at home, physical puzzles, games, music, & audio books.

Thank you Fair Oaks FD for a Great visit!!
Off to Henle Park for our final stop!

Headed to Fair Oaks Fire Station by 12:45!

The Bus is moving on to Osborne Elementary at 11am. See you there!
