Our Opinion: Are you recycling all you can? What if someone monitored your trash to find out?

<p>The Pittston Memorial Library board recently received $1,000 from the Luzerne County Bar Association Charitable Foundation. The donation will be used towards the purchase of an AWE bilingual computer, which will be used in the new children&#8217;s wing at the facility. The library is adding 5,175 square feet to the building and grand-opening ceremonies will be held in mid August. This was accomplished through a $1.5 million capital campaign. It includes a new children&#8217;s wing, a community conference meeting room that will hold 125 people and other library features. The Charitable Foundation consists of nine members and was created by the Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association in 2003. At the check presentation, from left: Judge Van Jura and attorney Joe Burke, members of the Foundation board; Anne Hogya, director, Pittston Memorial Library; Howard J. Grossman, fundraising director; and attorney Girard Mecadon, Foundation board member and a member of the Library board.</p><style>
