I love the library and all the programs they offer the children. It is free and it is nice to be around other mothers:) My daughter (7) remembers all the story times and the computers. She is always asking to go to Ms. Mc Laughlin's library:)
If we just donated 1-2 dollars it can surely help.
You can also donate monies through United Way.
Thanks for the great article on the library. State's budget for the new fiscal year will continue to create challenges for all libraries across PA. Our current goal of $35,000 may be proven to be understated. We thank the community for their continued support in these difficult economic times and we will strive to keep all programs in place.
