Libraries Collect for Vets During May

May 1, 2017

See List of Needed Items @ Your Library

Memorial Day is often thought of as the beginning of the summer season, but the real meaning of the holiday is to remember those who gave their lives for our country. We should also use the occasion to remember and thank men and women still alive who have served in the military. During the month of May, Lackawanna County libraries are collecting items needed by veterans who reside at the Gino Merli Veterans Center in Scranton.

Stop by any Library to see a list of things they need. Then make Memorial Day meaningful with your contribution to our vets.

A PA Forward initiative promoting Civic & Social Literacy.
