Find out more »10th Annual Giving Tree for Seniors
Once again, the library is sponsoring a Giving Tree for Seniors. Gifts collected will be distributed to area seniors who have no remaining family members or no family in the area.
Drop by the library and pick up a tag from the front desk, buy a gift, then simply return it in a gift bag to the library before December 18th, to help brighten a senior's Christmas this year. The library staff will deliver the collected gifts to the recipients before Christmas.
We have a list of gift suggestions at the library to give you shopping ideas.
If you don't have time for additional Christmas shopping this year, you may donate money for the Giving Tree, and the Library Director will purchase a gift for a recipient in your place.
Again, please have the gifts or money to the library by December 18th.
For more information, contact the Library Director, Sara Bernard, at the Pittsfield Public Library,
