  • If your daytime errands take you out along Wyandotte Street/Route 378, be warned that milling and paving from Broadway to Black River Road in Lower Saucon Township was scheduled to continue today. Lane closures and flagging will mean the trip will take extra time.
  • The Bethlehem Area Public Library main branch has “One Book Celebration Day,” all day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fitting for the season, the book is “The Bus For Us,” by Suzanne Bloom, which tells the story of Tess waiting for the bus for her first day of school. There will be readings of the book on the hour and a chance to win a copy.
  • Now there are only five days until the start of public and Catholic school classes in Bethlehem. Though if you have a little one getting ready to start Kindergarten, there is orientation at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, and a “play date” at Governor Wolf Elementary School. Donegan Elementary hosts orientation for SPARK students.
  • Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted is the free movie being shows at the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks at 8 p.m. Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple and of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent - Madagascar style.
