Dad's Day Out @ the Library!

To honor and celebrate Father’s Day 2010, the Peters Township Public Library will offer a day-long event for fathers and their children at the library on Saturday, June 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Dad’s Day Out” is a special day to celebrate all things about dad. Events planned include a comedy dads’ movie marathon, father-son-daughter storytime, duct tape craft projects, and a Fathers vs. Kids Wii Tournament. There will also be an “Ugly Tie Contest”, so patrons are encouraged to wear their most hideous tie to win a prize! During the event, dads can also learn about the many resources available at the library to make their lives easier – free WiFi, study rooms, Consumer Reports online, Mango Languages and more. Refreshments will be available. Fathers and their children are encouraged to stop in at any time throughout the day.

Raffle tickets will be sold to win a framed, autographed Pittsburgh Penguins sweatshirt, which will be on display. Players who signed the shirt include: Matt Cooke, Sydney Crosby, Ruslan Fedotenko, Eric Godard, Alex Goligoski, Kris Letang, Sergei Gonchar, Jay McKee, Marc Andre Fleury, Craig Adams, and Jordon Staal. Tickets are $2 each and are currently available in the Children’s Department, the Young Adult Department and the circulation desk. The drawing for the shirt will be held on Tuesday, July 6. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the library, and you need not be present at the drawing to win.

To attend the “Dad’s Day Out” program, please call the Children's Department at 724.941.9430 or email the library.
