A Few Things about  Junior Book Group

We will not allow anyone younger than 9 to join Junior Book Group. The main reason is our library policy states “Children the age of eight (8) and under are not permitted in the library without a parent/custodian who is sixteen (16) years of age or older.”  Parents are not required to stay while Junior Book Group is in session.  

To register, call 242-2391 or email Miss Sandy at familyplace@mifflincountylibrary.org
