Good morning, Delaware County. Households are side-eyeing their grocery receipts, Wall Street is obsessing over every Fed whisper, and U.S. consumer sentiment just hit a September slump — all signs that the economy is sending mixed signals faster than traders can process them. Throw in cooling manufacturing numbers and fresh trade tensions rattling the border economy, and it's the kind of news cycle that makes you want to just build something with your hands and tune it all out.
Fortunately, the library has exactly the right antidote: a Marble Run Engineering Fun event on September 15th that'll scratch that build-something itch for the younger crowd, plus back-to-back storytimes at Orange branch this weekend. Fresh real estate listings are also waiting inside whenever you're ready.
