National Library Week!

The Aston Public Library is celebrating National Library Week from April 15 – 20, 2013.  This year’s theme is Communities Matter @ your library. In tandem with PA Forward | Pennsylvania Libraries, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Library Association, National Library Week highlights the unique role libraries play in people’s lives.     Stop by during the week, and catch a glimpse of all the things you can do @ the library – 3270 Concord Road (in the Community Center building) and www.astonlibrary.org.  We are open 10-8 Monday through Thursday and 10-5 Friday and Saturday, closed Sunday.
To learn more about PA Forward, visit www.paforward.org .
