Are you thinking about what to have your child (K-6th grade) do this summer that will invigorate their mind and challenge them intellectually while they still have an amazing time?? (Besides Summer Reading, of course, which you should absolutely register for if you haven't already!! ;) ) Try out Camp Invention at the Clymer school this August 3rd-7th!

If you have questions or already know you want to register your child, stop out to the Clymer Library during our open hours, and Miss Alice can help you! We also have discount cards to save you some extra money!!

Our new June calendar!

We have so many fun and important events happening this June!

We have so much necessary fundraising happening for our library this June! We don't expect you to hit all of the fundraisers, but so many different choices make it easy for you to enjoy yourself while also supporting the library!! :)

Check out our Sign Painting Fundraiser on June 9th (Please have your design choices into Danielle ASAP by picking in the Discussion tab of the event page. :))
Our Hot Dog Lunch Sale is this upcoming Saturday (6/6) during Clymer Yard Sale days! We will also have books and other items out for sale to raise money for our library!
Give Big CHQ, one of our biggest fundraising events each year, is on June 11th!! This fundraiser allows us to get the biggest bang for your bucks! We will be posting throughout the day to let you know when your donations will earn us extra dollars! 😁 It is so much fun and so extremely helpful for us!! Thank you all for your generosity each year! It is so vital to us!

And we have some extra special news for June: Along with Summer Reading starting (Yay!), we will be having an Open House weekend the last weekend in June and an Open House Monday on 6/29!! There will be ways to earn tickets during both of these Open House events and gift card drawings will be picked to celebrate our additions/changes to the inside and outside of our library this past year due to our ALA grant and Construction Aid grant we were awarded. Come see what's different, test your luck for a Neckers or Dutch Village gift card, and support your local library! :)

Of course, don't forget about all of our exciting programs that we have throughout the month as well! (Peep some extras for our teenagers this month with a craft added in to our Plots & Pizza and Teen Tuesdays at 2pm starting on June 30th!)

Today is the day! Renee will be back with another "Teaching Mah Jongg" program at 3:30pm. Come learn how to play or build on your skills. :) See you soon!

Renee taught 8 of us how to play Mah Jongg today, and Team Claudia and Tina won!!

Remember, we will be having Mah Jongg tonight at 7pm for those that know how to play (or would like to watch a few games in action!) :)

Due to popular demand and limited availability on Mondays, we will be having another "Teaching Mah Jongg" program on Friday, May 29th at 3:30pm. Mark it on your calendars now!
