Do you have a collection you could present?
Would you teach a bit of a foreign language?
Can you share some music from your culture?

Most IRS and PA Tax forms are available now. As a “tax form outlet”, the library has the forms. The library does not offer tax help or advice, just the tax forms. You can also access forms and instructions online at IRS.gov. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is available to certain individuals. Check the IRS.gov website for site listings.
Looking Ahead…
