Books on Tap  

Books On Tap meets at various restaurants in the area. We discuss both fiction and non-fiction books that are selected by the group. Books are distributed at the meetings for the next month’s reading, or are available for pick-up at the Circulation desk. Anyone interested in joining can email Richard Hess at hessr@cclsys.org.    

True Crime Book Club

Murders, heists, kidnappings, fraud—we read and discuss true stories about them all. Conspire with us to share your “whodunnit” theories at our friendly gathering of this fascinating genre. Book selections are non-fiction and may contain disturbing content; reader discretion is advised.

 By appointment during regular library hours.  

Hour with the Librarian service allows you to spend up to one hour with a professional librarian or other qualified staff member who can offer personalized assistance.

Hour With a Librarian 

The Scan PA Project is a program whose goals are to promote libraries as trusted repositories for local history and culture, remove barriers to digitizing local information, and to extend digitizing services to material owned by the public. Patrons can make an appointment with the Reference department to bring their photos, negatives, slides and VCR home movies to be converted to a digital file format. This service is free but patrons must provide a flash drive or external hard drive for files to be stored.

In addition, documents and photos pertaining to Johnstown area local history can be brought to the library to be scanned and preserved on the Power Library: PA Photos and Documents website. Certain restrictions apply. Please contact a Reference librarian at reference@cclsys.org or at 814-536-5131 x212 to schedule a scanning appointment or for more details.

Wednesdays, 1 to 3 p.m. 

Everyone is welcome to play Mah Jongg in the 55+ Classic Corner. Players may bring their own tiles.
