We are so excited and thankful to share that we are one of 260 grantees chosen for a 2022 AARP Community Challenge grant from AARP Livable Communities and AARP Pennsylvania!
Through this grant we will be able to purchase and install permanent tables and seating on the library terrace so that you can enjoy your time at the library outdoors in good weather. To find out more about this quick-action grant program and other grantees, visit aarp.org/CommunityChallenge.
