Programs and Events

A representative from PA Career Link will be at our library on Monday, April 6, 1-3PM. He can provide resources and help for job hunters.

Join us for a presentation by Clyde F. Housel, author of "The Ghosts of Shaw Mines -- and the Memoirs of a Boy Who Grew Up There." The program, sponsored by the Meyersdale Public Library, will be held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 6:30PM at the Zion Lutheran Church (so there will be plenty of seating available!) on Center Street in Meyersdale. Copies of Clyde's book, The Ghosts of Shaw Mines, will be available for sale, with the author graciously donating its proceeds to the Meyersdale Public Library.

Do you love LEGOs? Do you enjoy creating things with those popular little blocks? If you are an elementary-age youth (grades K-5) who likes to build with LEGOs, this is the club for you! Join us on any Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. for a session of LEGO construction!

Do you enjoy looking through old photos, sharing memories, and preserving local history? The Way We Were Club may be for you! The library now has thousands of photos and negatives, covering a multitude of subjects, we're received from Meyersdale's former New Republic newspaper. If you like technology, we can even show you how to scan photos for digital preservation! There is no set schedule for the club. It is up to members to decide when they want to come.

On Thursday, April 30, at 7PM, we will be discussing the book Before We Were Yours, by Lisa Wingate.

The book is written in dual timelines: 1939 Memphis, Tennessee and present-day Aiken, South Carolina. It is based on a notorious real-life scandal: Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country.

Copies of the book are available now to sign out of the library.

You do not have to commit to attending the discussion to sign out a book, but all books must be returned by April 30.

Are you a writer, or aspiring writer? Join our writers' group, Pen & Prose! Whether you write short stories, essays, poetry, or are trying to write the Great American Novel, get constructive feedback on your work in a safe, friendly environment. New to the group? Bring a sample of your writing, if you have one to share, for the group to discuss at the first meeting you attend. (No more than ten pages double-spaced, please!) We typically meet the 2nd Thursday of the month at 5PM.

Preschool Story Hour happens on Fridays at 10AM. Join Miss Debby for stories, songs, games, crafts, and fun learning on Fridays at 10AM. (No story hour Dec. 26)
