WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., will kick off its first-ever cowboy-themed fundraiser on Thursday, July 10, from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Herman and Luther’s Barn in Montoursville.

 

Guests are encouraged to wear cowboy attire to the “Boots, Brews & BBQ” fundraising event.

 

Funds from this event will go toward creating a Technology Center in the Library. This new space will establish private spaces for telehealth appointments or medical services, video conferencing tools, privacy features, and comfortable seating to ensure confidentiality and efficiency.

 

“Public libraries, as community hubs that champion equitable access to information and services, are ideally positioned to meet the need for technology and reliable internet access,” said Amy C. Resh, CEO & Director at the Library. “This project will create a dedicated space to facilitate private telehealth visits, educational programs or services by medical professionals, and support groups for community members who lack access to such resources.”

 

The event will include live country music by Kopper and Kash, a brisket buffet dinner, and a 50-50 raffle.

 

This event is for adults only. Tickets are $62.50 per person and must be purchased in advance by July 3 using the “donate” button on the library’s website or via the calendar entry at calendar.jvbrown.edu. If you can’t attend, but still want to donate to support the Technology Center, please visit the event page to give.

 

The James V. Brown Library is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. To place a hold, visit www.jvbrown.edu or call 570-326-0536 during the library’s operating hours.
