American Girl Dolls: A Call for Donations!

Happy New Year! Out with the old and in with the new! Are you looking for a way to get rid of unused toys while also getting in some charitable giving?  The Children’s Department is looking for donations of new or gently used Full-Sized Historical American Girl Dolls to start an educational circulating collection of dolls that would encourage an interest in local history.  We have a particular interest in the Rebecca, Addy and Julie dolls. Dolls can be sent to the Youth Services department of the Cherry Hill Public Library.  1100 Kings Hwy North, Cherry Hill, NJ, 08034.

Random Acts of Kindness

We were the recipients of a Random Act of Kindness. Thank you students of Joseph D. Sharp School.  We love the bookmarks!

Where Does The Dinosaur Money Go?

Dear Readers,

Have you seen this dinosaur next to the YS desk? Ever wondered where all the money in the dinosaur goes?

When the dino's belly fills up, the coins get deposited into our Youth Services Programming Fund.  This money goes toward program material and equipment purchases. If you visit the Youth Services floor, you will see the results of your donations.  (Take a look around the children's area if you haven't visited us lately. We just "redecorated" with new posters!)

The proceeds from the dino purchase:

• our much loved tiger head phones
• the free bookmarks at the YS desk
• program craft materials
• posters for the YS area

So thank you for your contributions!

Looking for other ways to support our programs? We are collecting shoeboxes and cardboard tubes for upcoming programs.  You can bring any donations to the YS desk. 

Thanks again for all your support,

The Youth Services Staff
