💛 Special Thanks to Local Author Rob Martin! 💛

A special thank you to local author Rob Martin for his generous support of the Prospect Park Free Library during our first year participating in Delco Gives.

Rob’s contribution helped the library exceed our fundraising goal, and we are incredibly grateful for his support and encouragement.

Rob is the author of "Walking to Happiness in Prospect Park," a book that shares memories of growing up in Prospect Park — including how the Prospect Park Library brought him happiness as a child.

His book is available to check out at the library!

Thank you, Rob, for supporting libraries, literacy, and our community 💛
