EVENT: Donate or Exchange Your Books at PA LitFest

Donate or Exchange Your Books!

Hello Friends,

By now, you've heard about the Pennsylvania Literary Festival, a three-day, statewide celebration of reading and writing coming to the Uniontown Mall from May 30 through June 1.

As part of the festival's efforts to serve the local community, the event team is planning "The Great Pennsylvania Book Drive" -- a table where guests can take a book, leave a book, or do both. The table will be divided into children, teen, and adult sections, so books are needed for all categories!

Would you consider donating your gently used books, and share the joy of reading with others? (No encyclopedia collections or textbooks please.) We believe that every good book should have a home, and every home should have a good book.

Donations will be accepted at two drop-off sites, for your convenience: The Fayette Chamber of Commerce (65 West Main Street in Uniontown) and the Carnegie Free Library of Connellsville (299 South Pittsburgh Street, Connellsville). Deadline is May 20.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, and we hope that you'll come be a part of all the action at the festival.

Thanks,
Dave Slusarick
