Summer Library Hours
Is it too much of a hike to visit one of the Bucks County Libraries?? Why go so far when you can come to TITUS!!!
The Titus library will be open from 9 - 11am on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings this summer for your child to come check out books!
While the library is open, there are also some very exciting reading activities available for students in each grade level! Check out our summer library calendars to see what's happening at Titus!
Sign-ups for summer reading activities will be in the Rotunda until the end of the school year, or until each activity is full. Please contact Miss Quaresima, Mrs. Wallace, or Miss Brennan for more information!!
Reminders
Gym on Tuesday - Don't forget your sneakers!!
