PUNXSUTAWNEY — 2022 Summer Library Programs: An Ocean of Possibilities! Registration is open now. The schedule of programs and age groups are:
• June 6-11: Wees (ages 18 months to 35 months) at 11 a.m.

Children in the same families can sign up for one class, if needed. We recommend staying as close to the child’s age group as possible due to the age-appropriateness of crafts and activities.
We will also have two family nights for adults and children to participate in:
• June 15: Pirate Scavenger Hunt (costumes encouraged)
• July 21: Bermuda Triangle Escape Room (reservations are required for this event).
