The Bling Babes get together (at least) once/month to sort, clean, and price the donated jewelry that will be sold in the Baubles & Bling Sale on Saturday, December 5. By the looks of it, this will be the Friends flashiest fundraiser yet!

If you can't wait until December to support the Friends (and the Lancaster Public Library) you have a couple opportunities coming up!

Fall ReSort Book Sale - September 25-27

The public libraries in Lancaster County need our support—sign the petition to put a proposed library funding measure on the November ballot!

The public libraries in Lancaster County are working together to achieve STABLE, SUFFICIENT, and SECURE funding in the form of a dedicated Library tax, but we can’t do it without your help!

A petition is being circulated to put a proposed library funding measure on the November ballot. You can visit either Lancaster Public Library location to learn more, ask questions, and sign the petition ✍️

Or let us come to you! We will dedicate meaningful time to Vote Yes 4 Libraries when we present at these upcoming municipality meetings:

• Thursday, August 20, 6:30pm - Upper Leacock Township
• Thursday, August 27, 6pm - East Petersburg Borough
• Monday, September 1, 7pm - Conestoga Township
• Wednesday, September 2, 7pm - East Hempfield Township

✍️ Signing the petition does not mean voting yes on the measure—it just gives voters the opportunity to decide on November 3.
