All Ages Programming

 

The Library’s Card Party
This activity is great for all ages – participate alone or as a family!

You may not know this, but The Library works with several nursing homes throughout Dauphin County by providing programs and replenishing their libraries with books for the residents to enjoy. 

Because we’re under a stay-at-home order, many – if not all – nursing facilities are not allowing visitors to see their loved ones. We invite you to take this opportunity to reach out to the residents at two of the nursing homes we visit and let them know you are thinking of them.

Get as creative as you’d like – send a homemade card or colorful bookmark, or just send a note to make their day. You might include poems or song lyrics and ask them to come up with their own tune, or send pictures with descriptions. 

Think about what you would like to receive if you couldn’t see your loved ones. Send something that will put a smile on their face or make them laugh out loud. They would appreciate the kindness.

 

Here are the addresses of two nursing homes that have agreed to participate: 

Homeland Center Residents
Homeland Center
1901 N. 5th St
Harrisburg, PA 17102

 

Premier at Susquehanna
990 Medical Rd
Millersburg, PA 17061
