Holiday Shopping at Your Library

That's right, our Holiday Marketplace is coming up! We look forward to this all year as a fun day to get into the holiday spirit, shop unique homemade crafts, and raise money for the library.

A variety of vendors will be set up around the library on November 10, from 10am until 4pm. Not only can you stop by and pick up your library books, you can also get started on your holiday shopping.

In previous years, we've had vendors bring their homemade scarves, clothing, jewelry, soaps, candy, wooden items, and more! It's always a busy but enjoyable day here at the library. (Also, not a good day to come and study...the environment is not so quiet here then!)

If you've been to the library recently, I'm sure you've noticed our gift basket raffle. Local businesses have donated beautiful baskets full of gift certificates and other fun prizes. All the money raised will support the library. Stop by and pick up some tickets - 2 for $1, 12 for $5, and 25 for $10.

We are also raffling off an American Girl doll, McKenna. She's a gymnast! Her tickets are 1 for $2 and 3 for $5.

Mark your calendars for the main event, and I'll see you around the library.

Come One, Come All to Our Fabulous Fall Book Sale!

It's one of the most exciting days of the year!

Well, for the library. And for book lovers!

This Saturday, October 13, is our annual Fall Book Sale, organized by the Friends of the Abington Community Library. People come from miles around (literally. they do.) to check out the enormous variety we have at our sale.

Thousands of books, dvds, and cds are available for purchase. All proceeds benefit your library!

The book sale is located across the street from the library at the Clarks Summit United Methodist Church. There is often a line at the door when they open at 9 in the morning!

If you're not a Friends member, you may join at the door on Friday night, October 12 in time for the Friends Preview Sale from 5-6:30pm.

Thanks to all of you who donated material throughout the year. Your donations are making a difference.
