Summer Youth Employment Program
|
|
 As we reported in last month's E-Newsletter, funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was directed to our region to develop summer youth employment programs. The State College Borough Public Works Department applied for and was selected to be a host employer this summer. The participants worked on  the demolition and re-building of public access/neighborhood pathways. The pathways are located between Royal Circle and Sandpiper Drive as well as between Inverary Place and Sandpiper Drive. Much thanks and appreciation to the youth team members (Chelsea Doney, Isaac Solak, Joshua Jordan, Curtis Flather and Chris Eyler) and Borough staff members, Kade Cramer and Dave Sprowls along with Chris Sinkus, Mark Watson, Bob Sprout, Nate Arney, John Keeler, and Brad Kling for their help in completing the project.

This fall, why not start a book club? Schlow Library has book club kits that can get you started. Inside each kit is a suggestion guide for leading and forming book clubs as well as 6 copies of the title. No need to purchase individual copies for each member, the kits can be checked out for 6 weeks. Give it a try - adult book discussion kits are located on the second floor of the library behind the new Non-Fiction. You can't miss them. They're in the red bags.
