With your help our fall book sale will double in size this year. We are now ready to collect and sort book donations. Our ability to handle a larger quantity is the result of a move to space at the Chambersburg Mall. The sale will be open an extra day, too, October 25-28.
You may donate up to 40 books per trip to your local library. For larger amounts, please call 709-0282 ext. 211, to arrange drop off location.
We can also use volunteers, from now until the sale, for committee work, planning, sorting, set up, sale staff, and clean up. The Mall is giving us more time do complete all these tasks, so we won't be as rushed. Please call 709-0282 ext. 209 if you are available to volunteer for any of these tasks.
Watch the Book Sale Blog for more details as plans unfold.

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.

Chambersburg Reads 2010
Chambersburg Reads to Inspire Service kicks off Monday, September 13 (National Literacy Day), 7:00 p.m. at Franklin Firehouse, with "Rising Stars: Celebrate Community Volunteerism". Join me there to hear award-winning motivational speaker Kathy Silks. You may know her from WITF, one of the organizers of the local "Reading Rainbow" programs of the 1990s. She is terrific! We will also present awards to 11 deserving local community volunteers and get a glimpse of their personal inspirational stories.
This event is being sponsored by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Franklin Fire Company, RSVP Capital Region, and the Chambersburg Reads Partners.
The next scheduled event is a Mural Painting Workshop at Grove Family Library on Saturday morning, September 25. Marti Yeager of Fayettville is the instructor. Please reserve your spot by September 20. (click website link below)
For more information on the calendar of events, recommended reading, organizations that need volunteers, and our sponsors visit Chambersburg Reads website . Chambersburg Reads is a two-month regional community reading program for Franklin and Fulton Counties.
