◊ Activities: Do fun projects and more!
◊ Schoolwork: Get extra-extra credit!
◊ You Review: Let your thoughts be heard!
◊ Spread the joy: Send letters to those that need to read a cheerful message!
For details on each of these activities, and to fill out the volunteer, form, click the link below for the Montgomery County-Norristown library website.

Are you a frequent shopper at Redners?
If you are, helping the library is as simple as giving us your receipts. Redners will donate 1% of all eligible purchases made with a Save-A-Tape card to the library. Receipts must be less than 2 years old. It's a great way to help the library!!
Last year, your receipts helped us raise over $1,000 for the library. Thanks and keep those Redners Save-A-Tape receipts coming!!
During the building closure just put your receipts in an envelope and drop it into our book return or hold onto them until we can see you again.
