Kicking off the day’s events at 1:00 p.m. will be a celebrity storytime with Scott Blasey, lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Pittsburgh-based rock band The Clarks. Blasey will read The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, followed by a family sing-a-long. Immediately following, those attending can spend their afternoon learning how to live a greener more sustainable life through hands-on activities, games, displays, and library materials in the Meeting Room on the 1st floor. At 3:00 p.m. a free screening of the film “Bag It!” will be offered in the 2nd floor Reading Room. The documentary follows the story of an average guy who makes a resolution to stop using plastic bags at the grocery store. Little does he know that this simple decision will change his life completely. No registration is necessary for the afternoon drop-in events. To attend the film screening, please register online, at the library's circulation desk, or call 724-941-9430.
Families are encouraged to bring their empty ink cartridges to be recycled, and there will be free earth-friendly giveaways for program participants.
