SHALER NORTH HILLS LIBRARY ‘S COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Community Connections is a new outreach program sponsored by SNHL to create community, cultivate a culture of literacy, and show our local businesses and organizations that they matter to us. You might have noticed Community Connections posters at your favorite store or business, and at the Library. These colorful posters let everyone know what local merchants and service providers are reading, watching, and listening to. Not only do they help connect businesses with customers, patients, students or congregants, but they also help you folks in the community find your next read (books and magazines), listen (audiobooks and music CDs) or watch (movies on DVD). And ask our staff for help with ebooks, downloadable movies, TV shows, magazines and more. All free with your library card! Local businesses and organizations who would like to participate should contact Ing Kalchthaler at the Library. JOIN US FOR SOME VERY SPECIAL EVENTS!
