During the month of March, we are asking our patrons to embrace the uniqueness in all of us by purchasing and decorating a shamrock to support those on the autism spectrum.
Purchase your shamrock for only $1.00 !!! Each shamrock will benefit the library’s special project —the future Coraopolis Memorial Library Autism Resource Center. Make your shamrock rock! We’ll have all of the supplies to make it glitter and shine!
Plans for the money we raise include:
A special collection and audio visual materials geared toward autism and autism-spectrum related disorders.
We are also seeking donations for the autism resource center. Donations can be mailed to : Coraopolis Memorial Library, 601 School Street, Coraopolis, PA 15108.
An open house will be held after completion of the resource center. Thank you for your support!
