LET’S UNEARTH A STORY TOGETHER THIS SUMMER AT THE LIBRARY!
This summer, we’re excited to introduce our new online reading tracker through Beanstack!
Families can easily log books, minutes, and activities all in one place while watching their progress grow throughout the season.
The more you read, the more you earn! Participants will collect raffle tickets all summer long by logging their reading and completing fun challenges—giving everyone a chance to win exciting prizes while building great reading habits.

Storytime Stay and Play
Storytime Stay and Play helps parents/caregivers explore early literacy practices with a strong focus on reading and playing together! For families with older toddlers and preschoolers.
Every Thursday at 10:30 AM at the Catawissa Branch, we will read, play, sing, talk, and write with our little learners and their special grown-ups!
Story Excavators
Step into history, uncover stories, and become a Story Excavator this summer! 🦕📚 Designed for students in grades 2–5 (ages 7–10), this immersive camp invites children to dig into the past through books, hands-on exploration, and creative discovery. Each week, campers will explore a different piece of history—from ancient artifacts and fossils to the founding of America—while creating field journals, building timelines, and participating in activities like excavation simulations, storytelling, and even cooking together. Special guest presenters from Seeds of the Future will join us for the final three sessions!
As we approach America 250, campers will reflect on what it means to be part of America’s story—looking back at 1776 and imagining the future they will help shape. Perfect for curious kids who love to explore, create, and ask big questions!
