From the Director's Desk"Summer is here and what a relief it is! After a year of all-virtual programs, we are delighted to offer in-person programs in our outdoor reading garden and in Chocolatetown Park. Much like summers of the past, we have a full slate of fun offerings for kids and families to fill up your summer days. We’ve got bubbles, music, puppies, and Legos- there really is something for everyone!" Read more.

Staff Spotlight - Peter Shearer
"One of my favorite aspects of working at the public service desk is recommending where to begin with a certain author or subject and I'm always interested in talking about Hershey history, rock music and of course, guitars!" Say hi to Peter next time you visit. |
