Borough and Library Work
Together to Provide Programming
for Children
Questionnaire Responses Requested
On May 16, the Library hosted a kickoff event and picnic dinner for local families
whose children will attend the Library’s Summer Reading Program and the Borough of
Jefferson Hills Summer Recreation Program. Parents registering their children for the
programs were asked to fill out a survey requesting their input on future programming
and summer child care needs especially during the summer months. To participate
in this survey, pick up a form at the Library desk. We appreciate your input as we
continue to work to make Jefferson Hills Library the center of community education
and programming.
Sharon Abercrombie and Caitlin Moyer
Dinardo registered children for the
Summer Reading program that began
on June 18. There are still plenty of days
left in the program that runs until the last
week of July, so register today!
Kaitlyn Vigna, who directs the summer
recreation program at Gill Hall for 5-8 year
olds, enjoyed meeting the families of the
children who will attend the program on
July mornings.
The 9-12 year olds who will attend
summer recreation at 885 Andrew Reilly
Park were happy to hear about some
of the exciting plans that director Bob
Marlow and his staff are making for the
program this July.
A table filled with snacks and treats
to take home was the hit of our summer
programming registration evening.
