Mark Your Calendar: Fall Book Sale



The Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale is one of our most popular annual events, featuring tables of gently used books for every age and interest at bargain prices. Stop by all weekend to browse the selection — and don’t miss the ever-popular $5 Bag Day on Sunday!



While you’re there, you can also join or renew your Friends of the Library membership and help support future library programs and events.

Introducing: The Learning Den!



We’re excited to announce a new weekly homeschool and flex learning meetup launching this fall at the Thomas Beaver Free Library. Part hangout, part learning lab, the Learning Den is a welcoming, secular space where families gather to learn, play, and share stories. Guided by parents and caregivers, it’s a place where curiosity leads, ideas take root, and friendships grow.

New This Fall: YA Book Club



Our new YA Book Club kicks off Thursday, September 4 from 6–7 PM with the theme Fantasy. Bring any YA fantasy book you’ve read (or are currently reading) and share your thoughts, swap recommendations, and discover new favorites. Each month will feature a different theme, and you get to choose your own book to fit it!

Puzzle Exchange – Saturday, September 13, 10 AM–3 PM



Our community puzzle swap is back! Clear some space on your shelf and bring in puzzles you’ve already solved — you’ll go home with new ones to keep you busy on cozy fall nights. It’s free, it’s fun, and it only happens every other month, so mark your calendar!

Historical Speakers’ Series

Join us on Saturday, September 6, 2025, for the return of our Historical Speakers’ Series at the Thomas Beaver Free Library. This year’s lineup includes talks on Pennsylvania Dutch holiday traditions, everyday life in Montour County, mining tools and techniques, and Pennsylvania songs and stories.



Please note: John Mazich will not be here this year, but we look forward to welcoming him again soon. In the meantime, you can stop by the Friends Book Sale in the gymnasium or join the Time Traveler Tour at Market & Church at 10:00 AM before speakers begin at noon.

What's Happening This Month

Here’s your one-stop look at everything happening at the library this month — programs for kids, teens, adults, plus ongoing services & supports.

Join the Book Worms Book Club

This month we’re reading Solito by Javier Zamora — his true story of traveling 3,000 miles from El Salvador to the U.S. as a 9-year-old. It’s powerful, eye-opening, and perfect for discussion. Join us September 22 from 6:30–7:45 pm!

It's Constitution Week at the Library!

Let’s learn about the Constitution! This week is an opportunity to explore the history, ideas, and impact of the document that continues to shape our nation. Stop by the library to check out books and resources for all ages, including a display from the local Tah Gah Jute chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

We Could Use A Little Help

Our programs are growing! Attendance is up across both new and long-standing favorites, which is terrific; however, it also means our supply needs are increasing beyond our original budget.

To continue offering creative, high-quality activities for all, we've created an Amazon wish list featuring items, both big and small, that would make a significant difference. If you'd like to support our programs directly, you can check our wish list out at https://a.co/fFQw0Y5

Note: Amazon wish lists don't show street addresses for privacy reasons, but your gifts will be delivered to the library.

THANK YOU!

Don’t miss a thing — follow us on Facebook, Instagram, explore our website, or swing by the library. We can’t wait to see you!
