Attention Cell Phone Users

In the market for a new cell phone, or about to renew a contract with Verizon?  Considering having FiOS installed in your home? 

If you're considering any of the above, simply clip a coupon from this flyer and take it with you to a Verizon center to help us earn money for Peoples Library. 

For a limited time, we have the opportunity to earn $20 when you activate a new phone, $10 when you renew a contract, and $20 when you have FiOS installed - all at no additional cost to you!  In tough times after having our state funding slashed, every bit of extra money is immensely helpful to us in accomplishing our goals.

There are 12 nearby Verizon centers participating, located in Chippewa, Connellsville, Delmont, Fox Chapel, Gibsonia, Kittanning, Leechburg, Natrona Heights, New Kensington, North Huntingdon, Pittsburgh Mills Mall, and Ross Township.  Full addresses of locations are provided on the flyer.

Thank You!
