A Bittersweet Goodbye Approaches at Slatington Public Library
Celebrating Our Beloved Librarians
After many years of dedicated service to our community, our beloved librarians will soon be retiring. Their knowledge, kindness, and unwavering commitment have touched countless lives. While we’re sad to see them go, we’re also excited to celebrate the next chapter of their lives.
To help honor their incredible contributions, we’ve created a “Share-a-Memory” space in the library. We invite you to stop by and leave a note, share a favorite memory, or offer your well-wishes for a happy retirement to these wonderful women who have meant so much to us all.
