Join the Friends of New Cumberland Public Library for an evening offering residents of New Cumberland a chance to learn about the candidates running for the office of mayor and borough council. Each candidate will be given time to tell residents about themselves, what motivates them to run for office, and what issues they feel are important to our community. For your safety, masks and social distancing are recommended at this indoor, in person event.
