READING PROGRAMS AND LITTLE FREE LIBRARY
The Stone House Center for Public Humanities, in partnership with Slippery Rock Community Library and North Country Brewing Company, has donated a Little Free Library to share books, bring people together, and create communities of readers. Located on Main Street in front of North Country Brewery, the Little Free Library box will be available year-round.
Community members and passersby are invited to give a book they’ve enjoyed, or take a book that sparks their interest. Each summer, a children's summer reading program is hosted at the Old Stone House. In the fall, we offer 'Spooky Stories.' Check out our News & Events section for upcoming offerings.
