Geauga County Public Library’s Family Fun Night at the Drive-In is an annual event that emphasizes the importance of reading, safety and fun. This year, GCPL is pleased to partner with United Way to collect books and non-perishable food items to benefit the community. “This event is one of our most popular,” says GCPL Director Edward Worso. “Who doesn’t love a good movie at the drive-in? Mayfield has been a longstanding partner with us in offering fantastic family fun. And, we’re doubly pleased this year to team up with United Way and support their efforts in helping the community.”
“Events like this are about building a strong, healthy community,” says Kimm Leininger, United Way Services of Geauga County Director. “It’s great to see families coming together to support a local business and take action to address local needs.”
