Herbs at the Paul Smith Library - February's class is full

The Paul Smith Library of Southern York County is hosting eight herb-related programs during the 2008 program year. The series is being presented by Master Gardener, Pat Sweetman, of the Mason-Dixon Unit of the Herb Society of America. The programs are free although pre-registration is required.

Registration for the February 27, 2008, seminar in the Herb Series at the Paul Smith Library filled up the first available day of registration – if you’re interested in the Herbal hors d'oeuvres class (held in March) you’ll want to sign up as soon as possible on the opening registration date - March 1st.

You can do this by phone (717) 235-4313, e-mail sycstaff@yorklibraries.org or in person at the library.

Tell us what you think!



If you have joined the Summer Reading Club, we're asking you what you think.


Now Adults can register themselves online (sorry teens and kids - for now it's still F2F for you)


Everyone can write a book review.

Adults, Teens, and Kids who write book review will see it appear on the website within a few days.

Not only that, but we're also interested in finding out what folks think about the events held at the different libraries.
Many libraries are offering prizes; your review is like a raffle ticket, and there are no limits to how often you may enter.
So... check and see what's happening at your library.

And remember - when it's hot you can come inside someplace cool and relax with a nice book.

Libraries: answering trivia and earnest questions since 1879









If you're not familiar with this logo, you really need to aquaint yourself. This FREE service is FREELY available for FREE 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (except major holidays when the Librarians are FREE to do what they wish)

Now we know that you use Google. We're not even bitter about it, because we have a little secret; Google doesn't always have the answers. Sometimes, it even has the totally wrong answer altogether. And don't even get us started on Wikipedia.

So when you're looking at a bazillion wrong answers to what should be an easy question, and you're ready to throw things at the monitor, why not give us a try?


If you're questioning the value of something that's free, here's a suggestion; try out Ask Here PA. If you're pleased, but uneasy about something for nothing, why not write a check out to York County Libraries?

Or, cheerfully and happily keep your money, secure in the knowlege that you have a good answer.

Free!
