Another APL Mystery There's no big mystery behind the fact that we love to have fun here at the Abington Public Library. For September, we have a puzzling situation that only you can solve! The Clifford the Big Red Dog puppet from the children's room is nowhere to be seen and we need help finding it. Using clues from around the library, can you figure out our latest whodunit? Come on by and give it a try. |
Now that you have a clue... ...do you have a card? September is Library Card Sign-up Month The 2025 ALA theme for Library Card Sign-up Month is "One Card, Endless Possibilities" and all the information you need to know about signing up for an Abington Public Library card can be found HERE. We also have library card information sheets and application forms available in Portuguese at the library. Need a card? Come on by and get one today! |
