Zoom with Astronaut Nicole Stott

Personal highlights of her time in space include being the 10th woman to perform a spacewalk, first person to operate the ISS robotic arm to capture a free-flying cargo vehicle, painting the first watercolor in space, working with her international crew for the benefit of all life on Earth, and of course the life-changing view of our planetary home.

Monday Drop In Toddler Time Changes

We love to see everybody on Monday mornings, but we are going to change things up to try to make the experience better for everybody.

We will be doing a 10:20 Toddler Time for the first 25 toddlers and caregivers and an 11:00 Toddler Time for the next 25 toddlers and caregivers. The Copeland Room is not available every Monday morning, and by splitting up the group we hope to maintain the more individualized experience similar to our Registered Wednesday Toddler Time.

As always we appreciate your attendance and support.

Text on a purple background reads Monday Drop In Toddler Time in a playful, whimsical font.

Family Story Hour
is back on Saturdays

Saturdays @ 11:00

The APL is open on Saturdays again and that means Family Story Hour is back as well.

Family Story Hour is perfect for kids ages newborn to 5 and their parents/caregivers. We do stories, finger plays, scarves- the rotating crew of librarians try to tailor the program to the attendees. There is no better way to end a busy Saturday morning than at the Abington Public Library and Family Story Hour.

This is a drop in story hour- no registration required.

Green background with purple text that reads “Family Story Hour.” A fox holding a book is on the left side, and a smiling red squirrel is on the right side of the text.
