Chocolate, Anyone?

If you're a regular at the Abington Community Library, you've probably noticed the box of Gertrude Hawk candy bars that appears every couple months. We sell it until it's gone, take a break, then sell it again!

But do you know what buying these candy bars supports? Generally, the library, but specifically the Abington Community Library Teen Leadership Committee. This group of teens runs programs all throughout the year. The money raised through candy bar sales enables them to buy materials to support programs such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel, American Girl festivals, Creative Writing workshops, and much more.

If it wasn't for this group, led by our young adult librarian Sandy Longo, we wouldn't have favorites like All Aboard the Polar Express or Story Time Teens. The Committee's donations and leadership help Abington Community Library build a wide variety of creative programming.

So next time you visit us, buy a candy bar for $1 and support the Teen Leadership Committee. These are your delicious options:

Milk Chocolate
Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter
Milk Chocolate Caramel
Milk Chocolate Toffee Almond
Dark Chocolate
Dark Chocolate Coconut Custard
Dark Chocolate Raspberry
