150th Anniversary Commemorative Items
Hope you all had a great time celebrating the 150th Anniversary of North Wales Borough. Our Dinner Ball was truly a gala, the fireworks on May 18th were simply awesome and our grand parade on September 14th was a spectacular finale. Although our events are now wonderful memories, you can still purchase 150th Anniversary commemorative items at Borough Hall - our commemorative book with North Wales photos, memories, and history, cookbook with delicious recipes from past and current residents, decorative ornament, water bottle, and t-shirts. Perfect gifts for birthdays, holidays, or a treat for yourself.

Teen Agora
with Dr. Merow
Teen Agora is the library's new teen philosophy club for ages 15 to 18. We all make philosophical judgments, some using careful, logical analysis, and others relying on emotion, popular sentiment, hearsay, and highly questionable lines of thought. Our goal is to polish the skills needed to make rational decisions about contentious issues. We will continue the great conversation in the tradition of the Socratic dialogs. For more information and optional readings, contact Kate:
[email protected]
or call 215-699-5410.
