Cameron County Community Chest 2023 Fund Drive August Update

As of August 18th, we have collected $13,401 toward our $16,500 fund drive goal. Thanks to all who have contributed. It is really appreciated in these uncertain times. We will keep the 2023 Fund Drive open until September 30, 2023.

This month’s featured organization will be the Friends of the Library. The Friends of the Library is an organization that helps to maintain the many aspects of The Barbara Moscato Brown Public Library.

Funds are generated mainly through a yearly Membership Drive and the “Donate and Wish Friends and Family Happy Holidays”. Throughout the year, book related auctions and baskets sales also add to the funding.

The local library has so much to offer…such as computer stations, copying, faxing and laminating.

Having an updated library card allows access to LIBBY which streams e-books and magazines for adult as well as children. A card can also allow access to UDEMY classes which range from personal enrichment, professional development, and how-to information. A new addition to the offerings with a library card allows access to KANOPY which is a streaming service for movies, documentaries, some regular TV series, and children’s shows.

Funding also helps in providing adult and Children’s programs: helps fund the purchase of furnishings, helps with funds for maintenance of the building both interior and exterior; helps enhance ongoing programs such as Story Hour, Summer Reading, Lego Club, and more. It also adds support to the Emporium Garden Club whose members decorate the interior throughout the year and also maintain exterior plantings

The Membership Drive is currently in place running until fall. Membership forms can be obtained at the library or by going on the library website @ barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org.

No donation/memorial is too small. Please send your tax-deductible contribution to: Cameron County Community Chest, PO Box 134, Emporium, PA. 15834, Attn: Judd Schager, or go to our Face Book page where there is a PayPal button. Help support the Recreation Board, Community Nurses, Red Cross, Friends of the Library, the Package Team, the Garden Club, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Sylvan Heritage, 4H, SPCA and special community requests.
