Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026 as Northland Public Library Foundation hosts the Children’s Gala 2026: A Rainforest Adventure throughout Northland Public Library and in the Learning Garden. The Children’s Gala fundraiser offers a special evening full of fun and wonder for families with young children from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Tickets cost $25 per person for adults and children 2 & older. Children under 2 are free. All children will receive a goody bag. Tickets are not refundable, but they can be transferred to someone else if your plans change.
The Children's Gala is a family fun way to "Love Your Library” this September and give your library-support dollars an extra punch. Proceeds from this fundraiser are eligible for the partial, pro-rated matching funds provided by the Jack Buncher Foundation to Allegheny County Libraries during the month of September.
