Our annual “Bouquets for Books” event returns Nov. 2-10.
During that time, you’ll receive a free bouquet for each new children’s book that you donate at any Royer’s store (up to three per family per visit, while supplies last). The collected books will be added to the collections at libraries in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties.
