Whitehall Library to Celebrate ‘Love Your Library’ Day September 25

The Whitehall Public Library wants to say thank you for all of the library love shown by the community by celebrating with food trucks and so much more!

September marks the sixth annual ‘Love Your Library’ county-wide fundraising campaign where library donations given during the month go even further, thanks to a generous match pool from the Jack Buncher Foundation.

“The past eighteen months have been so challenging for everyone and we at the library wanted to do something special, something fun and celebratory to thank our community of loyal patrons, and what better time than during Love Your Library Month.”, says Paula Kelly, Library Director.

The Love Your Library Celebration Day will be a fun-filled afternoon of programs and activities for all ages. Smokin’ Ghosts BBQ food truck will be on site along with Kona Ice beginning at 12:00 noon until 3:00PM. Folks can stop by for lunch and stay for the fun. Also at noon, the library will honor local Whitehall writers as they commemorate the publication of their anthology, The Write Way: Works in Exploration. During this celebratory event, each author will read a brief excerpt from the collection and copies will be available for sale.

Quiz yourself along an outdoor Trivia Trail full of interesting book, author and library fun facts. As you test your knowledge you can also stop by Brennan Plaza for a round of free mini-golf. The Children’s Library will be open for special activities and to top things off, there will be a book bingo in the community room at 2:00 (registration required). So save the date and remember to love your library. For more information or questions, call 412-882-6622.
