The Library will present a special program on September 29 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. - “The Influence of American Rock 'n' Roll on the Beatles” by Aaron Krerowicz.

This 90-minute multimedia program illustrates the influence of Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and other American recording artists from the 1950s on the Beatles through side-by-side comparisons and musical analysis of Beatles covers and original recordings.
Mark your calendar for Stan Gordon – Saturday, October 1 from 1-2:30 p.m. as he presents “Astonishing Pennsylvania Encounters: Past and Present.” This illustrated presentation highlights some of the most famous and unusual UFO, Bigfoot, and strange encounter cases Stan has investigated since 1965.
