Zambaldi Beer’s Pints with a Purpose will donate $1 of every pint, to-go growler or to-go 6 pack sold on June 18 to the Friends. Librarians will be on hand to sign adult readers up for the Summer Reading Program, where they can read for a chance to win fabulous prizes. Adults who sign up will also get their pick of a free book to get their summer reading started (while supplies last).
