GoodSearch Helps the Library

You can now help the library by using GoodSearch. It's that easy! Just choose "Lancaster Public Library" as your charity and go on searching the internet as you usually would. Each search donates a penny to our library. It may not seem like much, but pennies add up rather quickly.

In Need of Volunteers

It's been a busy month, as I'm ure you've noticed by our long absence and lack of posting. Part of why it's been so busy is our desperate need for volunteers for specific projects.

Right now, we're looking for volunteers to help sort entries and do some database processing (nothing too hard I promise) for the Scholastic Writing Awards. We will be setting up shop in the Study Center from January 2nd through the 18th. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are anticipating several thousand entries which is an awful lot for only a couple people to handle.

If you'd like to help or have any questions please contact Jennifer Hummel in the Youth Services Department at 717-396-9313 x134 or jhummel@lancaster.lib.pa.us

Cast your "Fishing" Poles

I sat down today and realized it has been a whole week since the library began it's new hours, and since I've added a new post to the blog.

This leads to the fact that sometimes a blog can be a challenge, trying to find new news every day to keep things fresh and exciting so that you hopefully will return on a regular basis to see what is happening here!

To make up for a week of no news, we've got a big flash this morning though! The band "Trout Fishing in America" is coming to Lancaster, thanks to the library!

To kick off the summer season, families from around the area are invited to a fun-filled afternoon in Long's Park on Memorial Day, Monday May the 29th. The concert kicks off at 2:00 p.m., but a full afternoon of family fun is being planned! We hope that you'll be part of this extra special day!

Many volunteers will be needed for the event, and so if you think you might be able to help, please email our event coordinator at skline@lancaster.lib.pa.us so that we can talk with you about how you can help us out!

A call for volunteers!

During your visits to the Youth Services Department in the month of March, you'll be seeing requests and sign-up sheets seeking volunteers. The library is planning a special Summer kickoff in Long's Park on Memorial Day Monday and we're going to need help to pull off the special event! If you're interested in helping and will be available on Memorial Day, please see a member of the staff, or email us at youthservices@lancaster.lib.pa.us

Have a good weekend!
