Coplay Public Library’s spring basket social is set for 4-6 p.m. May 14 during a dinner at St. Peter Roman Catholic Church, 4 S. Fifth St. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit the church, while proceeds from the baskets will benefit the library.

The baskets are currently on display at the library.

If you would like to donate a basket or items for a basket, contact a board member or the library.

The summer reading program is almost upon us. This year’s theme is “Oceans of Possibilities.”

Sea creatures, pirates, shipwrecks and stories of our ancestors’ arrivals will be our focus, with a few other special ideas thrown in for good measure.

Sign-ups will begin June 13, and we will kick off storytime with Miss Brenda 11 a.m. June 16.

Hope to see you then!

If anyone has any empty shoe boxes, we would be glad to take them off your hands for a craft idea for the summer. You may drop them off at the library during open hours.
