Youth Library Programs

At the Punxsutawney Memorial Library, we work to provide area children, tweens, and teens with resources that will prepare them for their academic and professional careers. Stop by and check out one of our many youth library programs, play with toys and get creative in our active learning spaces, or just hangout in a relaxed environment.

Please note: Due to COVID 19 precautions, we are not currently hosting in person programs, but we still have a lot to offer. Please continue to read with your children for the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten reading challenge.

1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Reading Challenge

Sign-up your child(ren), pick up your reading logs, and get to reading! The goal is simple: read through 1000 books before their first day of Kindergarten! This is a great way to incorporate reading with parents and grandparents. This initiative also promotes skill development during critical learning years. If you're new to the program and want to sign up, call us at 814-938-5020 to set up an appointment to pick up a registration form.

These book bundles are only available to library card holders.

Don't miss out on all we have to offer during our Spring Programs. How to register: pick up a form at the library, register online, or download the form here.

Spring Programs will be virtual or passive. We will have virtual story times, virtual craft videos, Grab N Go bags, and more.

Programs start the first week of February. To reserve a GNG Craft Bag call us at (814) 938-5020 and tell us which age group you're interested in and set up an appointment time to pick up the GNG bag. Story times and other videos will be posted on our facebook and website.
