New This Year!
Bucks County readers will help a community in need! With your help, each branch will choose an animal to donate through Heifer International. Throughout the summer, your reading minutes will count as a vote for an animal and add to our custom animal murals. The more you read, the more you can vote! Track which animal is in the lead until we announce the winner at each branch.
By popular demand, teens & adults can now earn limited edition Badge Squad: Summer Quest badges along with the kids!
Lasers, horseshoe crabs, and superhuman strength (oh my)! Prismatic Magic Laser Programs, Center for Aquatic Sciences, and Strongman Eric Moss are some of the new performers visiting Bucks County libraries this summer!
