Library Lovers Month

Do you love your library so much that you finish reading your books before the due date just so that you can go back early and spend more time with it?  Don’t worry, you are not alone!  As a tribute to that fact that you are not the only bibliophile with a special place in your heart for free rentals, the entire nation is celebrating February as Library Lovers Month.  Be sure to let the Cochranton Area Public Library know how much you love it this month. After all, the library loves you unconditionally.

What’s happening at the library?

Several groups have chosen the Cochranton Area Public Library as their meeting venue, and it is easy to see why!  After all, in addition to the library itself, there are three rooms of various size equipped with tables and chairs for small gatherings.   Groups also have access to a small kitchen for preparing snacks,  the wifi for those with a laptop,  and our copier, which comes in handy when more people show up than originally planned.
