The Clairton Public Library recently announced the folloing events.

Baked Goods and Flower Sale
The Friends of Clairton Library will be holding its spring baked goods and flower sale on Friday, May 13 from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Come for our homemade, fresh-from-the-oven, bakery items. The wide selection will include many varieties of cakes, pies, bars, cookies, breads (both regular and sweet) dinner rolls, as well as many special items such as candy hash. We’re selling plants, too. The FOL donates all proceeds from the baked goods and flower sale for the benefit of the library.

Cuddle Time
Every Tuesday from 11:00 until 11:30 a.m. children from birth to two years of age can enjoy learning the rhythm and cadence of storybook language. This program is a great way to give little ones an all-important, early experience with books. Every child needs to be accompanied by an (adult) lap to cuddle on.

Stories For Tots
On Wednesday mornings, toddlers ages 2 and up are welcome to come to storytime and also participate in a fun, educational group activity. Bring your child at 10 a.m. Don’t forget your library card, which will allow you and your young ones to select books to take home and enjoy.

Kids After School
Older children are invited to the library every other Monday from 3:30 – 4 p.m. to join with the kids from Sisters’ Place for adult-lead reading activities. Inquire at the main desk for details - 412-233-7966.

Game Day
Every third Saturday the library schedules a children’s game day. Many board games are provided, and all school-aged students are welcome to participate. Come at noon and play until 2 p.m.

Wise Walk
Let’s walk! The Wise Walkers gather, rain or shine, on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. Walk at your own pace, but join us this Saturday. Our starting point is 616 Miller Ave. Bottled water and healthy snacks provided.

Book Clubs for Adults
Clairton Library hosts two book clubs, one on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 1 p.m. and the other on every 3rd Monday at 9 a.m. Anyone interested in joining may request a copy of the month’s book at the main desk. If you haven’t been able to order this month’s book, just drop in at book club time. Join us for a stimulating book chat along with coffee and snacks.
