Big Book Giveaway

Saturday, May 8 will be a busy day for the cooperative. In addition to the 5K Race for Literacy, we're having a Big Book Giveaway. During the city of Lancaster's Red Rose Festival, festival goers will be given an LALC bookmark. These bookmarks are good for one free book of your choice. Stop by the Second Glance, Second Chance bookshop from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on May 8 and pick up your book!

Over the last six months, the Lancaster community has donated over 5000 books to the bookstore. We're excited about being able to give something back to the community. Our books cover everything from history to romance to mystery and more. We're hoping to give away a lot of books, so be sure to head over for your free gift!
