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 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22 at the office of the Greater United Way of the Lehigh Valley in Bethlehem. For more information, call 610-559-9550. It's open to both public and school librarians all over the Lehigh Valley.
