Library House Tour Needs You!

This year's home tour is too good to miss!  Join me in visiting 5 great homes and 1 beautiful garden.  Coyle and Grove Libraries need your participation to make the 2012 home tour a success.  Every dollar spent on a tour booklet goes straight to those to libraries.  This year, in particular, every fundraising dollar counts as we deal with the $250,000 per year cut the state made in our Franklin County public library funding.  Get your tourbooks right away, because quantities are limited.  Cost is $20 per person. Then enjoy the afternoon of June 3, touring the homes at your own pace.  Take a vanful and make it a party!  My family always does.

Thank you! Hope to see you there!

Chambersburg Spring House Tour

Get your tickets now, while supplies last. For just $20.00 you can tour 6 wonderful houses in the Chambersburg area. Last year, this event sold out at 600 participants. This year tickets are available until we hit that mark.

Volunteers Needed!

This spring Franklin County Library System needs a number of volunteers to assist with a variety of special tasks in support local library and county-wide initiatives. Grove Family Library needs people to help with copying, stuffing, canvassing communities, making phone calls, and brainstorming new ideas. Coyle Free Library needs community members to serve on its Building Program Committee and Steeering Committe for a future capital campaign. Both Grove and Coyle need volunteers to help with the Spring House Tour on June 1.

The Library System needs volunteers to do behind-the-scenes preparation for reading programs, for children, teens, and adults, and to sort through book donations and plan a major book sale. We also need community respresentation on various committees.

Please contact Jill Snyder at 264-9863 or Erica Pryor at 709-0282 x209 for ideas of how your talents can be best utilized and to sign up as a volunteer, whether short-term or long-term.

All libraries can use volunteers to assist with special projects and weekly routines. So if you care, and have time to give, call today. We can use your help in a community close to you.
