🌈 Preschool Family Pride Concert Update 🌈

Hi Families,

We wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, our Preschool Family Pride Concert featuring Ants on a Log has been canceled due to an accident involving one of the performers.

We're keeping them in our thoughts and wishing them a smooth recovery. ❤️

We know many of our preschoolers and families were excited for this special event, and we're disappointed too. We'll keep everyone updated if we're able to make other plans to celebrate Pride Month and the start of Summer Reading together.

Our Children's Department will still be Open and ready to host the youngest of readers! 🌈💜

Happy Pride Month form the Chestnut Hill Library! Be sure to check out our Pride book displays al throughout the branch, and take a look at our website for various LGBTQ+ events happening all across the library system!

June's Branch Calendar is ready for you to pick up or print out! Stop by to attend a program, participate in an activity, and browse our book displays on Father's Day, Juneteenth, Pride Month, Summertime, Soccer, New Books and more...

(Please remember, day-of changes to our schedule due to unanticipated Staffing Shortages or Buildings Emergencies are posted to the branch webpage and page).

The Chestnut Hill Library must transition to materials pick-up only this Saturday, May 30th due to a staffing shortage. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience.

We compiled our list of over 300+ names, and while there were so many egg-cellent suggestions, the chicks have peeped their preference: Klaus, Violet, and Sunny!
