The Friends of the Jefferson Hills Public Library continue their year-round efforts to support the library through fundraising, volunteer work, and community involvement, with a special focus now on preparing for their upcoming holiday sales.

The Friends group raises funds through several initiatives, including their popular annual book sale, memberships, private donations, seasonal boutique sales, and the year-round sale of greeting cards. Greeting cards for all holidays and occasions are available at the library throughout the year and are sold for 10 cents each or 15 cards for $1, making them an affordable way for patrons to support the library.

During each holiday season, visitors to the library can also browse a festive boutique display of gift items available for purchase, with proceeds directly benefiting library programs, resources, and services.

As preparations for the holiday boutiques and the annual book sale get underway, the Friends of the Jefferson Hills Public Library are actively seeking donated items. Donations help stock the sales and play an important role in supporting the library throughout the year. Community members interested in donating items may drop them off at the Jefferson Hills Public Library, located at 925 Old Clairton Road in Jefferson Hills.

In addition to donations, the Friends group always welcomes new members and they are currently holding an open membership drive. Membership forms are available at the library for those interested in getting involved and supporting this valuable community resource.

Through their continued fundraising efforts, volunteer dedication, and community support, the Friends of the Jefferson Hills Public Library play a vital role in strengthening the library and ensuring it remains a welcoming space for readers, learners, and families throughout the community.
