Penn Book Nook
In the summer of 2019 we officially opened the Penn Book Nook in Penn Township Park. Situated near the playground area, the Book Nook is a shed that has been outfitted with book shelves, chalk board wall, a reading bench, a mini picnic table and tons of books donated by our amazing community. Books can be taken home or read in the park. The purpose of this addition was to provide convenient access to free books, in hope that it will encourage more reading time for children and adults. The Book Nook opens in the spring and stays open into the beginning of the fall months. We close the Book Nook in the winter.
