"You’ll be happy to know that the Appalachian dulcimer is relatively easy to play. It isn’t a masters-only instrument, despite its complicated-looking design. Indeed, it’s often regarded in the musical world as one of the easiest stringed instruments to learn. It’s even easier in some cases than the guitar." Dulcimer.net

United Way of Franklin County presents United We Read Summer Program June 20- August 1, 2025. This reading program is designed for 3rd- 5th graders. The goal is to bridge the summer reading slide that occurs when youth leave school during break. Each child will receive their own copy of The Area 51 Files by Julie Buxbaum to use during the group reading each week as they progress through the chapter book together. Volunteer readers will lead the group with lively discussions, recaps and activities each week. Please register at the library by calling 717-328-9233 if you are interested.
When Sky Patel-Baum is sent to live with her mysterious uncle, she didn’t imagine she’d end up here: Area 51. A top-secret military base with a bajillion rules and so classified not even the president knows its secrets.
Also, it turns out the place is full of aliens. Lots and lots of aliens. But they prefer to be called Break Throughs, thank you very much.
As Sky sets out to explore her extraordinary new home with her pizza-obsessed pet hedgehog Spike, she meets her otherworldly next-door neighbor Elvis and his fluffy pup, Pickles. But something mysterious is afoot in Area 51. Some of the Break Throughs have gone missing… at the exact same time Sky arrived.
Where could they be? How can Sky and her uncle convince everyone they had nothing to do with the disappearance? And why does the macaroni and cheese at Area 51 Middle have eyeballs in it? New best friends Sky, Elvis, Spike, and Pickles try to crack the case, but the clock is ticking… THE AREA 51 FILES | Julie Buxbaum | Author
