Library Tip #38: Read Banned Books or those that have been challenged! Banned and challenged books give us a vocabulary to discuss subjects that we often don't like to talk about. They also give us a safe space to explore topics that typically cause arguments or are shrouded in rumor and gossip. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Read banned or challenged books! You can easily borrow copies of books that have been banned or challenged at different libraries or schools by picking one up from our #BannedBookDisplays at the #BellefonteLibrary, #CentreHallAreaBranchLibrary, or #HoltMemorialLibrary.

Library Tip #48: Use your local library's event calendar and go to the events that interest you! Going to library events is a great way to meet people with similar interests, to stay healthy, and to have fun. Many public libraries will host game clubs, craft clubs, cooking classes, and even yoga classes! You just have to look at the calendar. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Our libraries actually have 3 event calendars: one for the #BellefonteLibrary, #CentreHallAreaBranchLibrary, and #HoltMemorialLibrary. You can check them out be visiting our website and then going to the relevant location webpage.

Library Tip #63: Have you heard of the magazine, Book Page? It's a really cool publication that many libraries and book stores subscribe to that has book reviews, author interviews, and recommendations. Reading it is a great way to find out about new books coming out that you might like! Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo. Background image of water droplets.

You can pick up the BookPage magazine for free at the #BellefonteLibrary, #CentreHallAreaBranchLibrary and #HoltMemorialLibrary! Flip through it to find what books you'd like to request/borrow next. If you can't find it, just ask the library staff at the circulation desk!

Library Tip #26: Bring your kids to storytime at the library! Storytime helps to develop children's concentration, social skills, communication skills, imagination and creativity. Attending storytime with your children will also show them that you care about them and their development. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Book display at the Holt Memorial Library. A poster says, "And the Oscar goes to the book." Another poster is set up that has the cover of the 2024 book, "James," by Percival Everett on it and the poster says, "reserve your copy today." More staff recommendations for new books fill the rest of the display."

One of our libraries, the #HoltMemorialLibrary, in #PhilipsburgPA has this book on display right now and awarded it our #BookOscar!
