inEVENTS Bark for Books Benefits Mars Area Public Library It was a barking good time at the Bark for Books Library Dog Walk at Adams Township Community Park. The event was hosted by the Friends of the Mars Area Public Library. Cute canines of every size and shape, along with their owners, were treated to a walk on the 1.3-mile park trail, lunch, gift basket raffles and doggy-themed gift bags. “The funds raised from Bark for Books will go toward library materials, children’s programs and other services,” says Vince Gadrix, Mars Area Public Library director. “We’ve had a lot of enthusiasm today and hope to make the dog walk an annual event.” The Friends of Mars Area Public Library is a volunteer, nonprofit organization that provides essential assistance to the library by coordinating and participating in book sales, raffles, and other fundraisers; purchasing materials and equipment not provided by the library budget; and assisting with special events and programs.
