The Office of Commonwealth Libraries would like to know if your library is:

1. Breaking ground for a construction project;
2. Celebrating a library anniversary or milestone retirement;
3. Announcing a notable new service or program (e.g. MakerSpace opening, special PA Forward program or service, workforce development initiative, etc.)
4. Having a ribbon-cutting for a new building or renovated space;
5. Having an author or notable speaker visit; or
6. Holding an unusual or high-interest public program for youth or adults.

This includes academic, public, school, and special libraries.

We’d like this information so that we can promote your events with state officials and attend them if possible.
