SALEM TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — It's a sound all too familiar to many who live in NEPA: The alert siren at the Steam Electric Plant, but that loud shrill will soon be replaced by a "ding," a simple notification on your cell phone.

The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Berwick has been using sirens as its primary emergency alert system, for decades. Now, that's about to change, but not everyone we spoke to likes the new system.

The sound of sirens is something residents living near the Susquehanna nuclear facility are all too familiar with.

FOREST CITY, SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A hot debate is brewing in NEPA over allowing minors to check out books from the library without parental oversight.

On Monday, the Library Board of Trustees in Susquehanna County amended a rule that allows parents to keep better track of the books their kids are borrowing.

This means parents, not children, are solely responsible for who can add or remove a name, giving access to a library account.

Before, kids could keep their checkout history private from their parents.
