Please help us welcome Haley and Adley: two of Yardley-Makefield's newest library card holders. We're so glad to have you! 👏👏👏 …

Wes and his mom, Jenn, have a treasured library routine. They pick one bin of children’s books, sit on the floor beside it, and sort every book into a Yes pile and a No pile.

“And sometimes, we even have to take the Yes pile and sort that one into Yes and No,” Wes says. “I like to pick a lot.”
–
Jenn, a second grade teacher in Bensalem, treasures summertime library visits with her son. “I’ve always loved that it’s a safe place to escape the heat for a little while, especially when we have more time together.”
–
Over the years, Jenn and Wes have enjoyed library storytimes, book sales and borrowing read-along books. “The library is a one-stop shop for enriching your life,” Jenn says.

Her whole life, Lynne has rarely been without a book. As an only child, she followed her parents’ example and became an avid reader at a young age. “Books have been a constant,” Lynne says. “I started when I was little, and I’ve been reading my whole life.”

These days, Lynne turns to Bucks County Free Library for a steady stream of audiobooks. She enjoys historical fiction and non-fiction books about American and European history. If it’s been written about World War II or the Holocaust, Lynne has probably read it!

“Everyone has different needs, but I’m a strong advocate of reading,” Lynne says. “I believe in libraries, and I believe in reading.”
