Library Happenings Update

Library Happenings Update 

With Christmas just around the corner, and the new year approaching, the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library wants to update our patrons on our latest fundraisers, programs, and services. 

We are currently raising funds for our Holiday Book Gifting program. We have lots of requests for books pouring in, so donations for this program are much needed. Individuals or businesses can purchase an “ornament” for $2, $5, $10, or $20, and all of the money goes towards purchasing as many books as possible to fill the Book Gifting requests. The more donations we can pull together, the more children we can get books to this holiday season. 

The Friends of the Library have TWO holiday fundraisers going on right now. The first is a basket raffle for one of two amazing, themed children’s baskets. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20, and time is running out fast! The drawing for these baskets will be held on Friday, December 18 at the end of the business day. 

The second fundraiser is the “Donate and Say ‘Happy Holidays’” fundraiser. The deadline to submit your donation to wish your family and friends through this program is also Friday, December 18. 

Also through the month of December, we have bundles of antique books for sale, ranging from the 1800s to 1960s. These books have not been valued, but all bundles are $5-$15 or best offer, so there’s a very good chance of finding a valuable first edition in the mix. Stop by today and pick up a bundle before they’re all gone! 

We also want to remind patrons that we still offer Curbside Pickup services (Library-2-Go-Go), computer access, free wifi inside and outside of the building, online storytime, and laminating services, in addition to our regular library access. 

Mask wearing is mandatory at all times while inside the library building. 

For questions or more details about our programs and services, please contact library staff at brocampl@zitomedia.net, by calling 814-486-8011, or find us on Facebook.
