The Strasburg-Heisler Library, 143 Precision Ave., Strasburg, will host a series of events this summer, beginning with a chicken barbecue fundraiser on Saturday, June 1, and a Blast-Off Party on Saturday, June 8. The barbecue will be sold at the Strasburg Jaycee Park, 218B Miller St., Strasburg, from 9 a.m. until gone. Customers may purchase meals containing a half-chicken, a potato, a roll and butter, applesauce, a cookie, and a beverage, and they may also buy chicken only. A drive-through will be set up to expedite sales, but folks may park and eat on-site. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the library or at the event. The proceeds from the barbecue sale will support the Summer Reading Program, which has a theme of “The Universe of Stories.”

Southern Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce (SLCCC) members are looking forward to hosting the eighth annual document shredding event rain or shine on Friday, June 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. The event raises funds for student scholarships. “It’s fun. We’re all volunteers,” said event chair Holly Filius. “It really is giving back to the community so kids have the opportunity to meet some of their expenses.” For a donation, members of the public may bring sensitive documents to the shredding truck, which will be parked at the site of the former Burkholder’s Used Cars, 2539 N. Willow Street Pike (Route 222), Willow Street. Vehicles should enter on Beaver Valley Pike (Route 272. Folks with more than 10 boxes of documents are considered See Shredding Event pg 9

“There’s a focus on space, so we got a lot of new books on planets, astronauts, and space exploration,” said executive director Kristin Fernitz. The Blast-Off Party will launch the Summer Reading Program. It will be held free of charge on the lawn in front of the library from 10 a.m. to noon on June 8. There will be games, prizes, a bounce house, and hand-dipped ice cream. Children may also pick up their reading logs and get started on their summer reading, Fernitz said. One unique feature of the Blast-Off Party will be the introduction of the new American Girl doll, Luciana Vega, who is an astronaut. Thanks to a donor, Luciana has a space suit that will go with her when she is borrowed from the library. At the party, children may enter to win the opportunity to be the first person to borrow the doll. See Library Events pg 6
