Thursday: Eat a Burger, Help the Library

Eat a delicious burger. Contribute to the Parkland Community Library.

That’s the premise behind a fundraiser going on—starting today and running through Saturday—at Five Guys Burgers, 4025 Tilghman St., Allentown, and 914 Airport Road, Hanover Township.

Present a library flyer before purchasing your meal and 15 percent of your purchase will be donated to the library. Call 610-395-4881 for more information about how to pick up your flyer.
