The Public Library for Union County in Lewisburg released a detailed February calendar that highlights adult, teen, and children's programs designed to boost literacy, digital access, and community connection. Unless otherwise noted, all programs are free and open to the public.

Adult and teen offerings include recurring English as a Second Language sessions on Mondays, Feb. 2, 9, and 23 from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesdays, Feb. 3, 10, 17, and 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Technology help appears throughout the system, with opportunities to "Book a One-on-One Tech Assistance Appointment" with Jeff Seebold, the Technology Training Services Coordinator, and a Libby workshop listed for Monday, Feb. 23, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The library invites residents to "Join Jeff Seebold for a hands-on session about the Libby app. Learn how to download and set up the app, explore features, and borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines for free."

Community groups also feature on the Lewisburg schedule. The Piecemakers Quilt Guild of the Susquehanna Valley will meet Monday, Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; members and visitors are asked to bring their own materials and those attending all day may bring a bagged lunch. A Master Gardener seed swap is set for Monday, Feb. 23, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., with organizers reminding participants to "label any seed packets you bring with the seed name and helpful details. Those without seeds are still welcome."

Children's programming emphasizes early learning and hands-on STEM. LEGO STEM Nights run Thursdays, Feb. 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Feb. 19 the Lewisburg Children's Museum will bring LEGO Spike kits and iPads for hands-on activities. The library will host Handmade with Hannah on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 10:30 a.m., where "Children can make a festive, heart-shaped pizza during this hands-on cooking program." Reading to Maverick and Craft is scheduled Saturday, Feb. 28, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

System-level programming includes a National Soup Day event at the Lewisburg branch on Wednesday, Feb. 4, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and West End Library in Laurelton will run a Maverick's Passport to Adventures reading challenge during February and March, allowing participants to "read, record, and earn rewards" and to earn stamps toward Maverick Dollars.

Herr Memorial Library in Mifflinburg was named among branches publishing February schedules, but specific Mifflinburg events were not included in the materials provided and were not available for confirmation. Readers are encouraged to register to attend by calling the library, visiting in person, or registering online. These programs address local needs beyond recreation: English language instruction and tech assistance reduce barriers to healthcare and public services, seed sharing supports household food resilience, and children's literacy events prepare young learners for kindergarten. Check with each branch for the latest details and registration requirements as schedules and capacities can change.
