Friends Of The Library Holds Bake Sale On February 9
By Arlene Miller, Friends of the Pennsauken Free Public Library
Prepare to indulge your sweet tooth at our upcoming bake sale on Saturday, Feb. 9, in the Library lobby. We’ll get started at 11:00 a.m. and go until 3:00 p.m., or until we run out of goodies, whichever comes first. You probably noticed that this is a bake sale, not simply a cookie sale, as we’ve held over the last year or so. So many people asked for brownies or cakes or nut breads at our previous “cookie” sales that it only made sense for us to offer whatever treats our creative bakers decide to bring us. So come early to get the best selection!
