The Punxsutawney Spirit

This week at the Punxsutawn­ey Memorial Library

- By Jen Soliday For The Spirit

PUNXSUTAWN­EY — Recently, we’ve been having a problem with making change for payments of printing/faxing/copying. Please remember that we are not a store; our goal is not to turn a profit, and for that reason we do not keep money on hand to make change. If you are printing something and it costs less than $11, please be prepared to pay with something other than a $20 bill. We take personal checks too. Thank you for your understand­ing!

Did you know that the Jefferson County libraries, in conjunctio­n with the Oil Creek Library District, offer free “Dial-A-Story” to all our residents? Simply call the number and listen to the story being told through the phone! Each week will feature a different story, appropriat­e for all ages. Dial-A-Story: 814-9149123.
