This popular fundraiser has something for everyone, including $1 hot dogs and the chance to win gift cards to local restaurants. Proceeds from the event will be used to help fund the summer reading program for local children and to purchase books and movies for the library, said Friends’ president Sharon Ramsey. “It’s a fun day and a fun way to support one of the community’s most valuable resources.”
JulyFest is one of a series of fundraisers Friends of Swissvale Library hosts during the year. Others include book and bake sales in spring, fall and during the winter holidays.
