It’s that most wonderful time of the year: the start of the holiday season.
Book And Tech Sale, Annual Raffle Kick Off This Month
By Arlene Miller, Friends of the Pennsauken Free Public Library
If you haven’t had time to donate items for the Friends of the Pennsauken Free Public Library’s upcoming book and tech sale, don’t fret. There’s still time to bring books, CDs and DVDs to the Library’s Community Room before Oct. 10.
Also, please consider donating some cupcakes, cookies, brownies or other tasty treats for the Friends to sell during this annual event. Call us at (856) 665-5959, ext. 7 to let us know what you’ll be bringing. Or easier still, just drop off your treats at our bake table in the lobby right before you go into the book and tech sale to browse.
This year’s annual book and tech sale is held at the Library from Oct. 16-18 during normal business hours.
Friends Of The Library Sponsor Variety Of Fall Events
By Arlene Miller, Friends of the Pennsauken Free Public Library
The Friends of the Library are hosting a variety of programs to be held after Labor Day.
The AARP bilingual Smart Driver Course is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 29-30 in the Library’s Community Room. Held from 1:00-4:00 p.m. each day, participants need to attend both days in order to receive a certificate for a possible 5 percent discount from your insurance company. Best to check with them first, however, to see if you’re eligible. And in honor of Spanish Heritage Month, the price for the course has been reduced to $10.00 for all participants, regardless of whether you’re an AARP member or not.
