April Classics Book Club

Join us Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. when we discuss, Passage to India by E.M. Forster

Among the greatest novels of the twentieth century, and the basis for director David Lean’s Academy Award-nominated film, A Passage to India turns on a tragic clash of cultures in British India after the turn of the century, at the height of the Indian independence movement. Centering on an ambiguous incident between a young Englishwoman of uncertain stability and an Indian doctor eager to know his conquerors better, Forster’s book explores both the historical chasm between peoples and the eternal one between individuals struggling to ease their isolation and make sense of their humanity.

Ask at the desk to pick up a copy of this classic.

Spring StoryWalk

Every year, The Pennsylvania One Book initiative chooses a different children’s picture book to share across the Commonwealth. This program highlights the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers and the significance of reading early and often to children, as well as engaging them in conversation and other activities around books.

We are proud to feature this year’s book, The Great Cookie Kerfuffle by Jessica Shaw as our Spring 2026 StoryWalk.

A friendly little farm breaks into chaos as increasing numbers of farm animals fight over a dropped cookie, until there’s trouble overhead! United against a common enemy, the animals learn that friendship and taking care of each other is more important than winning a fight.

Learn more about StoryWalks and get some ideas for additional activities.
