The Board of Trustees and the Staff of the Public Library of Catasauqua are very pleased to announce that we will be working with Pastor Brian Riedy and parishioners of Holy Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church on their Annual Yard Sale that takes place this year on June 1st from 8am to 1pm.
The Library has been asked to take an active part in the coordination of the responsibilities and activities that lead up to the Annual Yard Sale, which in past years has been an important fundraiser for the Church. Holy Trinity Lutheran’s commitment to serve the needs of the Catasauqua community is well known and takes many forms. This year, Holy Trinity Lutheran will be donating the proceeds of the Yard Sale to the Library to help with our on-going plans to improve library services.
The Library’s Trustees and Staff are extremely grateful to Pastor Brian for acknowledging, in this way, the important role the Library plays in the life of the communities we serve. “Many hands make light work!” Please call the Library at 610-264-4151 to sign up to help for an hour or two on any day, Tuesday thru Friday, preceding Saturday’s June 1stYard Sale. Please consider contributing to the success of this special event. You can be sure there will be treasures and bargains galore!
In recognition of the 50thAnniversary of Apollo 11’s mission to the moon and Neil Armstrong’s historic moon walk, the Library’s Summer Reading 2019 programs are all about SPACE!
