Schuylkill Gives
2024-05-08 12:00 - 2024-05-09 12:00 UTC | Pottsville Library, 215 W Market St, Pottsville, 17901, United States
Please consider a donation to the Pottsville Library during Schuylkill Gives! Schuylkill Gives is an online donation at www.schuylkillgives.com on May 8th–9th, from noon to noon. This year the Pottsville Library wants to invest in early literacy skills for Schuylkill County youth. With your help we can develop a Toniebox collection. Tonieboxes are screen free speakers that come to life when paired with a Tonie, which are different character toppers that tell the story. Little listeners get new stories with each Tonie, can adjust volume, or use headphones to listen in quiet spaces.
