What was the last 5 star book you read?

There's been another mysterious sighting in the library! And all that was left was a wrecked book display and a message: sorry..... looking for snacks!

What does this mean???

Having trouble committing to writing? Looking to find a tribe of writers? Come write with us on Wednesday, June 3, 2:00 - 4:00pm at the Main Library. To help you honor your commitment to writing and putting words on a page, join us for an hour of silent writing followed by an hour of meeting and greeting fellow writers and writers-wannabes.

Coffee and tea will be provided throughout. Bring your writing gear-- whether it be paper or electronic-- your creativity, and your curiosity! Registration is recommended. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

Do you know the history of the popular roadway, Sullivan Trail?? Unearth more of Easton's Story at the Marx Room!

If you’re familiar with driving in and around the Easton area, at one time or another, you may have driven a particular roadway and passed by a historical marker commemorating a specific historical campaign. The roadway is known as Sullivan Trail. In Pennsylvania, there are a total of 60 historical markers related to the Sullivan Campaign.

In 1779, Commander-in-Chief George Washington ordered Major General John Sullivan to raise an army to protect Americans against Tory and Indian attacks. No road existed over the Pocono Mountains to transport an army, so 500 men created the crude roadway between May and June 1779. The Sullivan Campaign started in Easton, PA, on June 18, 1779, and continued on to the Genesee Valley of New York. The campaign ended back in Easton, PA, in October of 1779.

This marker is at the top of College Hill on Knox Avenue (Sullivan Trail).

Learn about bioluminescence and learn how organisms create light and, more importantly, why? We will learn about the many species of fireflies that live in the northeast and how we can protect them. Come join us Saturday, June 6, 1:00 - 2:00pm at the Main Library.

For adults, families are welcome. Registration is required.
