Join or renew your membership on Friday, at $10 for individuals and $15 for families. Don’t forget to stop by the Teen Leadership Committee’s bake sale to support various programs at the library, such as Crafters’ Club, LEGO Club, and Family Storytime.
The Abington Community Library will present a new fundraiser, “Tasting by the Book,” to be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Library, for adults only. Attend this signature event to taste delicious food prepared by generous local community cooks, and bid on your favorite items to enjoy at a later date. You can also purchase a cookbook to take home. Tickets are $25 per person, advance sales only. Come out and enjoy some of the best food our community has to offer, as well as local wine, all while supporting expanded outdoor programming at the library. Proceeds will fund installation of a retractable awning on the library’s side lawn, increasing programming opportunities.
