Most IRS and PA Tax forms are available now. As a “tax form outlet”, the library has the forms. The library does not offer tax help or advice, just the tax forms. You can also access forms and instructions online at IRS.gov. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is available to certain individuals. Check the IRS.gov website for site listings.

Looking Ahead…Believe it or not, summer will be here before we know it! The summer reading program slogan will be “One World, Many Stories” which leaves the “book” wide open for possibilities of all sorts of cultural activities. We’re looking for individuals or groups who would be willing to share stories, crafts, displays, music, language or any other activities for programs here at the library this summer. Here’s your chance to get involved, share your experience and wisdom, and make a difference!
