Company Wants to Teach Librarians Fundraising

It's a tough time to be a librarian in Pennsylvania.

State funding for libraries has gone down in recent years, and in places like Easton -- where much of the library's money comes from the school district -- even faced the prospect of a  earlier this year.

If you're a local librarian dealing with these issues, and want to learn how to embrace your fundraising skills,  of Easton is offering a free workshop to hone those abilities.

The workshop will take place at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22 at the office of the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, 2200 Avenue A (third floor), Bethlehem.

For more information, or to register, call (610) 559-9550. The workshop is open to both public and school librarians from across the Lehigh Valley.
