Let's Build a Pipe Organ
For the third year, OrgelKidsPA, working with the Friends of Horsham Library presented this unique, hands-on pipe organ building workshop to children ages 5 and up. Once again, three sessions were offered. The children in each session worked together to build a small pipe organ, then play it, and finally take it apart again. As always, the discussion was lively and the children were very enthusiastic!Thanks to Mr. Vince for continuing to bring us this fascinating experience.
Horsham Day
It was a beautiful day for Horsham Day 2024. The sun was shining, and the weather was warm. It was perfect weather for seeing the sights, eating the delicious food, and talking to the Friends. Once again, the Friends and the Horsham Library had adjacent booths, and there were lots of visitors to both places. The Library provided information on the Summer Reading Program and had a raffle for some great prizes.
The Friends had lots of people of all ages playing our ping-pong ball game, where people tried to throw ping pong balls in cups. We had lots of winners and we gave out lots of andy and books as prizes. We also had bookmarks for kids and brochures and information for adults. We had good crowds all day and provided lots of information on our activities. Thanks to all the people who made our booth a success.
