Nicetown-Tioga: Leap After-School Program Praised Throughout Community

The first floor of the Nicetown-Tioga Library looks like any other library. Books are sprawled across the layout of the interior, conversations are kept to a mere whisper and “no cell phones” and “no talking” signs are posted along the walls. Upstairs is a completely different story. Sunshine spills into the large, white room where kids are partaking in an intense game of Dance Dance Revolution. A radio is blaring in the background and a group of kids are nosily playing cards in the far end of the room.
