The Abington Community Library is thrilled to present a signature event of Family Place Libraries, the parent/child workshop. Not a structured storytime, this is an immersion into learning through play.

Connect with community resource specialists who will provide you with information on different aspects of parenting and child development. If you have any specific questions or concerns, this is a great opportunity to ask in an informal and confidential manner.

Each week will highlight a different topic. This week: Early Literacy. Note: This is a 5-week workshop. Please register for at least 4 out of the 5 weeks as space is limited. Please, only one adult per child attending. For Ages 1-3.

Moving Forward is a community group of support and encouragement dedicated to women who have experienced mother loss. Dealing with mother loss is a lifelong journey; you are welcome, at any age and any stage of loss. We will relieve some of the emotional burden we all carry as a result of this loss by moving forward together– sharing experiences, support, and discussions that honor our moms and our journey. Meeting on the grounds of the library weather permitting, or on Zoom.

Anyone interested in playing D&D whether experienced player or interested with no experience. Players between the ages of 13 and 17 preferable. Those with DMing experience welcome! This program will not have a consistent staff member presence. We will be meeting outside weather permitting. 

Please register below. Any questions please e-mail MGraham@albright.org

The Lackawanna Backyard Beekeepers are a Beekeeping group in (but not limited to) Lackawanna County. Our mission is to foster interest in backyard beekeeping and provide a forum for discussion among local beekeepers. Whether you are already a beekeeper, are interested in becoming a beekeeper, are interested in honeybees, or have land that you would like to use to help sponsor a beehive, then this is the place for you. Beekeeping and honey bee information is exchanged in an informal and friendly environment to help keep our honeybees (and other pollinators) healthy and thriving. Families welcome. Only one RSVP is necessary to join this group.
