The Library is proud to support and participate in the annual Huntingdon Valley Fire Company‘s Fire Prevention Open House on Saturday, October 13 from 11 am to 2 pm.  Stop by for games, food, firetrucks, and more.  New this year, the Lower Moreland Marketplace will highlight local merchants and members of the Lower Moreland Business Association.  Pick up coupons and buy raffle tickets for an amazing Local Goods basket – proceeds will go to the Fire Company.  Visit the Library’s booth next to our Township friends and decorate a bookmark.  We invite you back at 7 pm for an outdoor movie!

With full sponsorship from the Township, the Library will show the Disney Pixar movie Coco on a HUGE outdoor screen on the Library’s back lawn (weather permitting) at 7 pm on October 13.  There will be popcorn and other refreshments – bring your blanket and join the fun!  In case of rain, we will be in the Red Lion Gym, adjacent to the Library.
