Holiday Book Gifting Program

Holiday Book Gifting Program 

 The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library has once again decided to hold its Holiday Book Gifting Program. The program runs now through December 16 to ensure all books can be received by Christmas.

 We will be accepting monetary donations from members of the community to go towards the purchase of a new book(s) for children and teens in our area. Donations will be accepted through December 22.

 Anyone interested in donating should stop by the Memorial Library or the Cameron County Chamber to purchase an “ornament” to go towards the purchase of a book. Ornaments will be sold in $2, $5, $10, and $20 increments. 

Anyone interested in having a book gifted to an area child (children) this holiday season should complete the request form and return it by dropping it off at the library or mail it to: Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library, 27 West 4 th Street, Emporium PA, 15834. 

All 2nd grade students at Woodland Elementary will be able to order a book through their teachers thanks to last year’s donation from the school’s Penny Wars Fundraiser. 

Forms can be obtained at the library, Cameron County Chamber, or downloaded from www.barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org under the “Library Contests & Fundraisers” tab. 

Please be sure to include a phone number or email so we can reach you to receive the gift.

Boxes are filled with snacks, coffee, toiletries, paper, pens, newspapers, playing cards and letters from the kids. Some items are donated by local businesses and churches. Other items are purchased. Postage is the largest cost.
