Public Library of Catasauqua: Travel, explore through books

Vacation time is here!

We may not be able to travel to far-flung places because of travel restrictions, but we can still travel in our imaginations when we’re relaxing with a good book.

It might be a book from our travel section or a pamphlet from our Getaways display, including day trips around Pennsylvania or trips to other states in this beautiful country.

A book may take you from Alabama to Wyoming, from kayaking on the Colorado River to hiking the Appalachian Trail. It may take you into the mind of a serial killer or that of a detective solving a difficult case.

Here at the library, we have plenty of choices to feed your imagination.

Fantasy or reality, just pick up that book and read a cool book on a hot day.
