Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese In January, the Jr. Friends of the Ephrata Public Library raised $1,350 with “Escape the Library…What Happens Next,” an escape room created and planned by members of the Jr. Friends over the course of a year. Participants of the escape room were locked in the library and, in order to escape, needed to search for clues and solve a series of library-themed puzzles. “Escape the Library…What Happens Next” was the Jr. Friends’ most successful fundraiser to date. With a portion of the money raised, the Jr. Friends are purchasing a new scanner for the library’s check-in desk and a Nintendo Switch for teen programming at the library. The Jr. Friends are a group of tweens and teens who advocate and raise money for the Ephrata Public Library. Past fundraisers held include car washes and a food stand at the library’s summer reading carnival. Shown in the photo, from left to right, are (kneeling) Adam Smith, Derek Murphy; (back) Abby Balmer, Laura Brandt, Elizabeth Gormley, Habib Mohamed, Garrett Koleda and Susan Martin (Library Representative).
“Random Acts Of Kindness” 100th Day Project
Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese Fulton Elementary School students and staff recently showed support to Ephrata Area Social Services by participating in two activities - “Random Acts of Kindness” and “100th Day of School” celebration. Second graders set a goal of collecting 100 coins for the 100th day. They were successful in achieving this goal by reaching a total of $217! In addition, the school collected various items that were presented to Ephrata Area Social Services throughout the Random Acts of Kindness week. This week also included daily kindness challenges as well as special theme days. Thanks to everyone who donated items and contributed to the success of these projects.
