On January 31, the all-volunteer group hosted a puzzle and game sale that drew in community members of all ages \u2014 and raised over $650 for the Scotch Plains Public Library. True to form, the Friends turned a simple sale into a fun neighborhood event, giving residents a great excuse to stock up on games while supporting a cause that benefits everyone in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every dollar raised by the Friends goes directly to the library, funding beloved programs like the Summer Reading Program, youth and adult events, and the Museum Pass Program \u2014 which gives Scotch Plains cardholders free or discounted access to 15 museums across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The January puzzle and game sale is just one example of how this dedicated group of volunteers works year-round to make the Scotch Plains Public Library an even richer resource for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to help make events like this possible? Consider joining the Friends of the Scotch Plains Public Library \u2014 memberships start at just $5 for students and $10 for individuals, and members even score discounts at local favorites like Max&#8217;s Pizza, Osaka Restaurant, and The Town Book Store. Keep an eye out for the next Friends event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Friends of the Scotch Plains Public Library raised over $650 at their January 31 puzzle and game sale!
