From our friends at Fox Chase Library

While we screen media related to The Exorcist (1973) horror film, we will gather every other Saturday in the library to sit with and discuss the many issues around things like family, friends, love and fear that the movie brings up for us as filmgoers.

Alternate Saturdays beginning Sept 19th, 11 am - 1 pm.

We've unofficially welcomed Fall this past Labor Day weekend, and Welsh Road Library is rolling right along into the new season.

Our Read Baby Read storytimes start back up tomorrow, Wednesday September 9, at 12 PM. This will also mark the return of our Monday storytimes, also at noon.

And we're fit to bursting to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, which starts next week. Join us here in just two weeks on September 22nd at 4 PM, for a mid day concert with a wonderful Venezuelan Classical Violinist. You won't want to miss that performance!

Welsh Road will be closing today at 1 PM and closed on Monday in observance of the Labor Day holiday.
