HELP SAVE THE LIBRARY!!

Radnor Memorial Library needs you!! The Pennsylvania senate has passed a 2009-2010 budget that will:

Cut Radnor Memorial Library's state aid in half.
This will translate into very difficult decisions about cutting hours, staffing programs and resources!!

Contact your State Senators and Representatives today tell them that Senate Bill 850 must not be passed as is!!

Why did the Chicken Cross the Road?

To get to Storytime!!!!

Adult Reference Librarian, Pam Sedor, brought her two fancy bantam chickens, Ellie and Patsy (named after singers Ella Fitzgerald and Patsy Cline) to Radnor Memorial Library Preschool storytime recently. The Preschool storytime theme of course, was Chickens! Children had a chance to pet the chickens, heard stories about Chickens, sang Chicken songs and created a Chicken craft! Please watch our video.
