Welcome to the Abington Public Library
What’s Happening at the Library
Summer Reading Kickoff
June 23rd 1:00 – 3:00
We’re kicking off our summer reading program with a party at the library! We’ll have summer reading swag (while supplies last), games, crafts, bubbles, and more! Once again, we’ll be using READsquared to keep track of our reading time . This year our goal is to reach 2,000 hours of reading time, and if we make it, we’ll symbolically adopt a giraffe and elephant through World Wildlife.
Lego Party
Thursday, June 18 @ 6:30
Cast your work and worries aside for an hour and join us for some creative building time. We have Duplo blocks available upon request for our younger friends who might not be Lego-ready yet. Families and family-like groups of ALL ages are welcome to attend. Challenge a neighbor! Bring a friend! Declare a Lego War! (This is not just for children but all children must be accompanied by an adult.)

Hugh Hanley Returns
Thursday, June 25 10:30
Early childhood educator, music specialist, and entertainer Hugh Hanley returns to the Abington Public Library for one of our favorite programs! Circle of Songs is a fifty-minute program consisting of songs, finger-plays, rhymes and other fun activities. We might even get to sing a few of our toddler time favorites! This program is geared towards kids ages 0-5. Registration is required and begins (in person) on June 8th. Online registration will begin on June 15th. This program is funded by the Anderson Foundation.
Mini Golf at APL
Wednesday, June 24 from 4:00 – 7:00
Back by popular demand is mini golf at the library! Have you ever imagined what a mini golf course throughout the entire library would look like?! On Wednesday, June 24th, the APL will be transformed into a huge mini golf course for patrons of all ages to play. Our friends from One-Up Games will be here to set up an elaborate 18-hole course and provide all materials for friends and family to come and enjoy! This is a drop-in event; registration is not required. Funds for this program have been provided by the Friends of the Library.
Summer Hours
Yes- our Summer Hours have started and they are very simple- we are just not open on Saturdays. All the other days and evenings stay the same!
