Thank you to Anselma for letting us hold our summer story times at the Mill. And, a huge thank you to West Pikeland Township Parks and Recreation Committee for partnering with the library to offer the Summer in the Park Series and the Teachers of Nature programs. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!

COVID-19 Vaccines
Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and those around you from serious illnesses from COVID-19. The available vaccines are very effective against COVID and the Delta variant. If you do contract the virus while vaccinated, you are much less likely to get severe disease, be hospitalized, or succumb to it. In the face of new variants, we must continue to do our part to stop the spread. All Pennsylvanians age 12 and older are eligible to receive the vaccine and are encouraged to get vaccinated. If you have not been vaccinated or have only been partially vaccinated against COVID-19, please consider getting fully vaccinated. You can search for all local COVID-19 vaccine providers by visiting www.vaccines.gov
Unclaimed Property
Nearly $4 billion in collectibles, dormant bank and retirement accounts, jewelry, military medals, stocks, and uncashed checks in Pennsylvania are waiting to be claimed by their rightful owners. One in ten Pennsylvanians have unclaimed property, and the average property claim is worth $2,000. Chances are you or someone you know has property waiting to be claimed. The first step is to search the online database on the Pennsylvania Treasury’s website, www.patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property/. If you find you are owed property, feel free to contact my office at (610) 692-2112 for assistance in navigating the process to claim it.
