Politics at Christmas Dinner? How Did It Go?: This event is an interesting look at linguistics — words and relationships — by Professor Robert Schrauf of Penn State University. All of those sticky, touchy conversations that were brought up at the holiday dinner table — how did that go? Bring your table conversations — good, bad, and ugly — for dissection and to get them out of your system. Join us at noon Jan. 17 for this Let’s Talk About It: Conversations Among Citizens event.

Meet the Therapy Dogs: At 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, therapy dog handlers will read a story about therapy dogs, and children will be able to meet two of the dogs. Therapy dogs will be here one Saturday/mo. during Story Time. Each handler must have insurance for their dog, up-to-date veterinary vaccines, and certification hours. Pre-registration will begin in January to schedule 15 minutes of your child one-on-one with the dog. Studies have shown that reading to animals improves reading fluency, accuracy and comprehension, as well as increased motivation for reading and increased confidence.

Story Stitchers Sewing Club: Story Stitchers are privately meeting for their holiday party in December and will meet from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, at the library. If you can thread a needle, you can participate! Call the library at 814-886-2619 for information on past or present projects.

Non-Fiction Book Sale is happening over the next few months during library hours while the books are being weeded. All proceeds directly benefit Cresson Public Library.

The library will be closed on Dec. 24, 25 and 31 and Jan. 1.
