  The Social Responsibilities Committee is volunteering at Books Through Bars on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. At these events we help select, pack, and ship books to people imprisoned in Pennsylvania. 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 may ask volunteers to wear a mask.
