August at the Garland County Library (GCL) once has again has something for everyone.
On Thursday, August 1st, the library is launching the month with a PB&J Sandwich Day to show appreciation for its patrons. They are giving out free, freshly prepared sandwiches with chips starting at 11am, while supplies last. The entire month will also host the Peanut Butter and Jelly Drive. Help the Library assist local non-profits by donating unopened jars of peanut butter and jelly, and you can have a chance to win prizes.
Speaking of non-profits, GCL is hosting its first ever Non-Profit Fair on Thursday, August 15th, from 4-6pm. The purpose of this event is to provide a place for the public to interact with non-profit organizations in the area, making valuable connections and finding out about the variety of services and opportunities they offer. The Library looks forward to hosting this new experience and is hopeful it will offer some benefit to all who attend.
Another new program GCL is trying in August is the Adult Talent Show on Thursday, August 22nd. Talents may include (but are not limited to) singing, dancing, instrumental music, comedy, magic, juggling, and more. Please refer to all rules and be sure to register online. Prizes, medals, and fame await the best contestants, as chosen by the GC Library staff judges!
