  Join GPLLA as we attend a Free Library Author Events featuring Jill Lepore discussing her new book We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution. We have a block of 20 tickets for the live simulcast screening (in an overflow room) of Jill Lepore's conversation with Kate Shaw on September 24. Registrants should meet us at us at nearby Kite & Key for a pre-event drink (one drink on GPLLA) and then we'll walk over to the Parkway Central Library together as a group. 
  
  Plan to meet at Kite & Key around 6:15. The Author event will run from 7:00 to 8:30.

  Join GPLLA for the inaugural meeting of the GPLLA "Book" Club. The GPLLA Book Club will meet a few times a year to discuss a topic or theme centered around an article, book chapter, podcast, or other media. Just like a real book club you don't have to do the reading or watching in advance, you are more than welcome to join the conversation! 

  This is designed to be an informal conversation among colleagues. 
  
  For our inaugural meeting, we'll use a paired set of a reading and an AALL Annual meeting session recording to discuss the theme of institutional knowledge. 
  
  The reading is Institutional Knowledge Management and Succession Planning by Amy Carr and Sabrina Sondhi in Law Librarianship Practice: Challenges and Opportunities in Law Firm, Government, and Academic Law Libraries. 
  
  The Annual Meeting session is Hitting the Documentation Trail: Where Every Step is a Guidepost.

  The Social Responsibilities Committee is volunteering at Books Through Bars on Saturday, October 18, 2025 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. At these events we help select, pack, and ship books to people imprisoned in Pennsylvania and beyond. These are great opportunities to get to know other GPLLA members and have a positive impact on our community.

  Sign up today if you would like to participate. You are welcome to also register a friend or family member to attend with you.

  Capacity for this session is limited to 15 people. Books Through Bars asks volunteers to wear a mask - you can bring your own or pick one up at the door.

  Volunteers are invited to join us immediately afterwards for a pizza and beer meet-up at Carbon Copy, a short walk from Books Through Bars. Note that we have a food and drink budget for Books Through Bars volunteers (including non-members) only. Any non-member volunteers must be accompanied by a GPLLA member.
