Donation to keep library open Sundays

Posted

MILFORD, PA — The Pike County Public Library recently received an anonymous $5,000 donation in order to reopen the Milford branch on Sundays, between 12 noon and 4 p.m., for one full year. Beginning Sunday, October 3, the library’s Sunday schedule will return to its previous hours. In response, executive director Rose Chiocchi said, “We are extremely thankful to the donor and happy that we will be able to once again offer seven days of full service in our Milford location. We are still hopeful that the Dingman location will be able to restore some of its hours in the future.”

The library has a goal of raising $50,000 in 2015. So far, it has raised $21,000 through fundraisers such as the annual lawn sale, a trek bike raffle, a 50/50 and its book sale room. The library will also host a book sale on Saturday, October 17 in both branches from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It expects the majority of its funds to be raised at the Great Gatsby Dinner Party and Fundraiser on Saturday, November 7 at Ehrhardt’s Restaurant in Hawley. Ticket prices are $60 per individual, $100 for two, or a table of eight for $400. Guests are encouraged to dress up in Roaring ‘20s attire.
