Martin Library is hosting an event to help community members learn about the essential work of several York County nonprofits. The program will be held from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 28 in the library’s Quiet Reading Room. It includes brief five-minute elevator pitches by participating organizations and an opportunity for further conversation.
According to Martin Library Director Mina Edmondson, the library created this event in a speed dating style to give community members a fun and easy way to learn about area organizations. The program is planned just a few days before Give Local York.
“We are fortunate to have so many dedicated nonprofit agencies working to make York County a great place to live,” says York County Libraries President Robert F. Lambert. “This event will provide residents an opportunity to hear how these organizations make a difference in lives every day.”
Participating organizations include Give Local York; Martin Library; Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association; York Literacy Institute; York Habitat for Humanity; York County Food Bank; Servant's Inc.; The Program, It's About Change; Friends & Neighbors of PA, Inc.; Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay; Tec Centro York; and Lifepath Christian Ministries.

It is recognized as a PA Forward Gold Star library for its outstanding provision of programs and resources to community members.
