IN THIS ISSUE Library Week Shredding Day Earth Day Run Supervisors' Meeting Leaf Collection Concerts/Movies Meeting Schedule ‌ ‌ ‌ Support Wissahickon Library During National Library Week National Library Week begins this Sunday. The week is a reminder of the important role libraries, including the Wissahickon Valley Public Library play in communities. The theme for National Library Week, “Connect with Your Library,” promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband, computers, and other resources. Libraries also offer opportunities to connect with media, programs, ideas, and classes in addition to books. That is especially true of the Wissahickon Valley Public Library (WVPL). The Township encourages you to visit the Library next week to celebrate Library Week. You can also support the Library by attending its Spring Fling benefitting renovations to the Blue Bell location. The Spring Fling is May 1 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Blue Bell location. It will feature local food, drink, merriment and a silent auction. Tickets can be purchased at the Blue Bell and Ambler branches. For more information, click here to email Anne Frank. To bid in the silent auction, go here. Bids are due by May 1 at 5 p.m.

Centre Square Fire Shredding Event Saturday Centre Square Fire Company will hold a free shredding event this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at its station at 1298 Skippack Pike. It's an easy and safe way to dispose of sensitive paper documents around the home. If you shred, donations are appreciated.
