Community Services for Children in Allentown

As I often do, I try & make contacts with organizations that cater to children.  This helps me as a Mom and Website Owner to know what is going on in the Lehigh Valley.  In my travels I came upon a gem - Community Services for Children in Allentown. 

CSC has their own Family Library, within their huge facility, located at 1520 Hanover Avenue.  I had an opportunity to take a tour when I met with Claire DeFazio, VP, Operations & Subsidy Services & Marie Louesy, Librarian.  Also pictured is Desiree Lake & Jacqueline Jean-Pierre.


This library is NOT like other libraries. When you think of the typical library, you imagine a very quiet atmosphere and someone "shushing" you. Not here! This library encourages excitement and is a place for kids to have fun, explore and just be kids!  A very modern, and clean atmosphere along with a quote from Dr. Seuss on the wall, "“The more that you read, the more things you will know...”.

CSC’s Family Library, holds public story time throughout the school year on Tuesdays at 10 am and Thursdays at 1 pm. Every one-hour story adventure includes stories, crafts and a snack. Each month holds a thrilling new theme.  The Library is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 4:30 pm. Call 610-437-6000, x 3140 for information. And best of all, this event is Free!

CSC also offers two Preschool Options, Head Start & PreK Counts.  To learn more about what they have to offer our Lehigh Valley Children, check out their website.

This year Bon-ton will be hosting Community Days on November 11 & 12th.  Buy your $5 savings booklet from CSC and help the children of the Lehigh Valley.   For more information, please contact Amanda (abuss@cscinc.org) or Louise (louiseb@cscinc.org) at CSC.
