Susquehanna County Reads My Àntonia starts October 1st, and we have all kinds of events scheduled!
The first is "Honoring our Rural Heritage," Saturday, October 3rd, at Salt Springs State Park, from noon-3pm. This event is free to everyone, so please spread the word! It's a family event with activities for all ages. Meet barn animals, experiment with antique farming tools from the John McKeage collection, enjoy refreshments, play traditional games like horseshoes and sack races, and have fun. Don't miss the "Whatsit" table--play by guessing what these mysterious implements are for. The Fairdale Grange will have a Grange Room display, where you can learn about this historic agricultural organization. Explore the Wheaton House and see what treasures Salt Springs State Park has to offer.
Starting Friday afternoon, you'll also be able to view an exhibit by photographer Sally Weiner Grotta at the Main Library. Entitled "Pennsylvania Hands," it's "a visual celebration of those individuals who keep alive the traditional crafts that built our country's dynamically diverse culture and established the underpinnings of our present-day society." She'll be lecturing on the 12th as well--stay tuned for details.
If you're not registered for the program yet, you can do so at any time. For more information on all the events and activities, visit our website:http://www.susqcolibrary.org/susqcoreadsor call the Library at 570-278-1881 or Literacy at 570-465-2880.
