We are always featuring various contests, games, basket raffles and other fun offerings.
Mrs. Strycula’s Ham & Cheese Fundraiser Sale!
The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is serving up something delicious—and it’s all for a great cause! Join us for the return of Mrs. Strycula’s legendary Ham & Cheese sandwiches—piled high on a fresh Kaiser roll, complete with mustard and a bag of Lay’s chips, all for just $6!
Preorders will be open from July 14 to August 1, and sandwiches will be available for pickup on Friday, August 15 from 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM.
Want to make lunch even easier? Local businesses can request a group signup sheet and get their orders delivered right to their location—just give the library a call to set it up!
To order, call us at 814-486-8011 or complete the form below. Preorders only—don’t miss out!
We’d like to give a huge thank you to our incredible fundraiser organizers, Connie Garrigan and Barb Palumbo, for making this event possible, and to Emporium Food Mart for generously providing all the sandwich ingredients.
Feeling helpful? We’re also looking for volunteers to help make and pack sandwiches the morning of pickup. If you’re interested, just reach out to the library!
Don’t miss your chance to grab one of these community-famous sandwiches and support your local library at the same time—they’re delicious, affordable, and for a great cause!
