Library Board Appoints New Trustee
The Board of Trustees of the Public Library of Catasauqua is pleased to announce that Mollie Laubach-Haydt has been appointed to the Board. Mollie brings to the Library community her many years of experience as a classroom teacher and reading specialist. Mollie is particularly interested in Library programming for children that has S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) principles at its core. Mollie is a Catasauqua native who has been part of the life of the Library since her childhood, and, for the past two years, she has been a “Friend of the Library.” The Library Board and Staff are looking forward to working with Mollie.
The Library and North Penn Legal Services have partnered to present community interest programs
On Thursday, April 20th at 6pm, North Penn Legal Services attorney Lori Molloy will speak on “Landlord Tenant Issues.” This is an opportunity for area renters and landlords to get up- to- the- minute information. North Penn Legal Services is a non-profit agency that provides free legal services for low income and/or vulnerable individuals and families. This program is free to the public. Future programs are planned for such topics as “Wills” and “Powers of Attorney.”
For all of our readers with legal concerns and questions
Please take a look at our online resources section for two important legal tools: Law Depot and lawsource.com. Law Depot provides downloadable legal forms for just about every need. Lawsource.com is a resource for the text of State and Federal law, as well as for information on how to find an attorney and where to go for legal advice. Both resources can be accessed from your home computer, but you will need to call the Library to be assigned a passcode for Law Depot. A passcode is not needed for lawsource.com.
