This summer, NAPL's Teen Advisory Board is hosting a donation drive for three nonprofit organizations in the Lehigh Valley: Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center, Turning Point of Lehigh Valley, and Northampton Food Bank.
The donation drive will begin Saturday, June 6, and end Saturday, August 8. Donations can be dropped off any time the library is open. We will not accept donations of items that are expired, opened, used, or secondhand. Please contact the Young Adult Program Coordinator with any inquires: medelheiser@northamptonapl.org
