The Scranton Public Library is gearing up for a real page turner of an event. It ties into the seventh annual "Swingin' On Vine!"
The big block party on Friday runs from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at 500 Vine Street. It takes place rain or shine. "Swingin' On Vine" features live music, drinks, and food for the 21 and over crowd. Admission is $15.00 in advance and $20.00 the day of. Click here for tickets!
Funds raised benefit the Scranton Public Library which distributes funds to its various branches including the Albright Memorial Library and nearby children's library.
Although the library receives some state and county funding, organizers say an event like this Friday's is crucial since the library system isn't receiving as much money as it had in years past due to cutbacks. Cash collected provides the extra funds needed for programs and services for kids, adults and teens.
