Thank you to all our artists, visitors, and bidders. The Itty Bitty Art Show auction made almost double our $1000 goal. All proceeds support the Friends of Bayne Library and help fund events like Summer Reading, Fall Fest, and more!
If you submitted artwork that was not included in the auction or if you won artwork in the auction, please stop by the library before May 22, 2026. Any artwork left after that date will become the property of Bayne Library.
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.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Allegheny County Library Association, we are proud to offer Early Literacy Kits to our youngest patrons! Each kit is available for families with infants under the age of one year. You will find books, songs and fingerplays, an egg shaker and scarf to wave, early literacy tips, book lists (available at the library!) a fashionable bib, and more. Return a second time (and sign up for a library card!) with your coupon and receive a third book!
