After drifting apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Friends of the Zelienople Library group looks to revitalize itself.

Michelle Gibbs, who is working on the effort to revitalize the group, which supports the Zelienople Area Public Library, said the group will host a meet-and-greet at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the library, 227 S. High St.

“They had a fairly good-sized pool of volunteers that helped put on all the events through the year,” Gibbs said. “Now we’re trying to get everyone back together because, hopefully, this year we’ll be able to start hosting events again without worry.”

At the Tuesday event, attendees can learn “what the Friends do and how we help the library,” and volunteer to help with the group’s handful of events planned for 2022. The events won’t take place at the library, Gibbs said, but will help to support the community staple.
