Does your library raffle a basket at the desk as a small fundraiser? Do you ever raffle a quilt that has been donated as a fundraiser? Did you know you need a Small Games of Chance permit to conduct a raffle? Small Games of Chance licenses are often obtained at your local courthouse and are enforced by the DA's office.
I was reminded of the Small Games of Chance rules today when a Facebook posting by Pano (Pennsylvania Association of Non Profit Organizations) came across my feed. Recently I attended a Small Games of Chance 101 offered by a local organization. This was a quick and dirty overview of the Small Games of Chance permits, new laws and limitations. The links below will provide you with the information you need to know to keep you library legal and safe.

I conducted a quick online search and discovered many counties have Small Games of Chance information online or a contact name for further informaton.
I made it through the applicaton process and so can you. Good luck and happy raffling!
