VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Love your library? Want to get into the Franklin County Fair for free?

Franklin County Library System needs volunteers to work three-hour shifts at "The Chicken House" foodstand during the week of August 22-27. Volunteers must have their own transpotation and be at least 12 years old. The volunteers will be doing customer service at the window (handling money, too), dishing up chicken dinners, soup and potpie, grilled chicken sandwiches, and homemade pie. Some food preparation and cooking under supervision is also needed. You can pick your favorite station for the shift. Available shifts include 10 a.m. -1 p.m., 1 -4 p.m., 4 - 7 p.m., and 7-10 p.m. On busier shifts, we welcome family groups (age 12 and up). There will be experienced volunteers on all shifts, so don't worry about being new. Volunteering a shift will get you free admission to the fair. You could work a shift, then enjoy the rest of the evening's events. If you are not aware, the fair is based at Chambersburg Rod and Gun Club on Warm Spring Road.

This is being done to raise funds for your libraries. Please help if you can.

Contact me directly to sign up ASAP at 709-0282 x212 or bdcrouse@fclspa.org.

Have Fun and Help, This Weekend

Tickets are still available for the Annual Chambersburg Library Home Tour this Sunday, June 27, from Noon to 5:00 p.m. Six awesome homes to tour, all for $20! Support your Chambersburg library and enjoy yourself at the same time! Tickets are at Coyle Free and Grove Family Libraries. Those libraries will be open during the tour and will probably have tickets to sell that day. However, when the ticket supply runs out, no more will be made, so get yours today to be sure.

Thank you!

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.
