A Season of Giving: Cards for Troops &
Holiday Book Gifting Programs Begin
This Week
This holiday season, the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is kicking
off two beloved traditions – the Cards for Troops and Holiday Book Gifting Programs – to
spread cheer and give back to both our community’s children and those serving abroad. These
initiatives launch this week, bringing the spirit of the holidays to Emporium!
Cards for Troops: Crafting Gratitude Across Borders
Starting now through December 7, the library’s Cards for Troops program invites young
creators and families alike to make personalized holiday cards for military service members.
These heartfelt creations will join Emporium’s Military Christmas Boxes, delivering messages of
appreciation and festive joy to those serving far from home.
* Get Crafty! Pick up a Take-Home Craft Kit at the library, located at 27 West 4th Street,
Emporium.
Kits are packed with a blank card, festive stickers, pre-written messages to
personalize, and other fun decor materials to bring each card to life. Glue sticks are
available upon request, and creators are encouraged to add their personal touch with
markers, crayons, or colored pencils from home.
* Return Deadline: All completed cards should be returned to the library by December 7
for inclusion in the Christmas Boxes.
*Holiday Book Gifting: Bringing Stories Home for the Holidays *
The Holiday Book Gifting Program, running November 15 through December 14, is designed to
put new books in the hands of young readers across Emporium – wrapped and ready to place
under the tree!
* Community Donations: Local residents can support by purchasing donation ornaments
at the library in increments of $2, $5, $10, and $20. All contributions will fund book
purchases for children and teens, making it a true community-powered gift!
* Request a Book: Families can submit a Book Request Form for a child by dropping it off
at the library or mailing it to:
Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library
27 West 4th Street, Emporium PA, 15834
Forms are available at the library, Cameron County Chamber, or can be downloaded
from the library’s website under the “Library Contests & Fundraisers” tab.
Important Deadlines: Book request forms are due by December 14, and donations will be
accepted through December 21. Remember to include a phone number or email to arrange
book pick-up.
Together, let’s create a season of joy, gratitude, and community spirit!
