Overbrook Public Library

We love our Library, and we hope you do too! Please show your support by becoming a Friend of the Overbrook Library. We are attempting to re-energize this extremely important organization. If you’re interested, please come to a Friends meeting on Tuesday, May 22, 7:00 pm at the Library. We will vote on officers and discuss how our “new” organization can help our up-and-coming new and renovated Library.

As the moon is coming out, late into the evening, it is time to sit and enjoy the rest of the day. Some will enjoy the quiet, some will reflect on the day while others will pick up a book. This year the cards will hold dreams, wishes and nighttime shivers for those who dare to draw cards. Prizes from the local community are for the taking for those who want to participate.

Kids’ book club will meet on June 14th, July 12th, and August 16th at 10:30. If  your child is interested please sign up with one of the librarians by May 21st so we will have enough books for everyone to have. This book club is open for children going into 3rd grade to 6th grade.

We would like to have Lego-building activities at the Library this summer, but we need Legos! Do you have any around that you are willing to donate? Simply bring them by the Library during business hours….thanks!
