Many young children filled the Slatington Public Library last Saturday to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss.

Peters Elementary kindergarten teacher Marshelle George read some lively books to children. They also had coloring activities, refreshments and a goodie bag to take home.

Additionally, the youngsters received a Dr. Seuss certificate and stickers, and many parents snapped their child’s pictures at the Thing 1 and Thing 2 photo cutouts.

The Slatington Public Library relishes in offering programs such as the Dr. Seuss Birthday Event and the upcoming Preschool Story Hour beginning at 11 a.m. on March 19 for six consecutive Tuesdays.

More than 40 children, 20 adults and four volunteers participated in the Dr. Seuss event.
