The Library will present a special program on October 29 from 1 - 2:30 p.m. called “The Influence of American Rock 'n' Roll on the Beatles” by Aaron Krerowicz. Before the Beatles ever wrote their own songs or performed on stage, they were inspired to do so by American rock 'n' roll records. This 90-minute multimedia program illustrates the influence of American recording artists from the 1950s on the Beatles through side-by-side comparisons and musical analysis of Beatles covers and original recordings.

Monessen Public Library & Cultural Center will be closed on Columbus Day, Monday, October 10, 2016, for WLN staff training.

The annual October Book Sale will begin on October 15, 2016. Pick up great autumn reading material! Hardbacks will be fifty cents and paperbacks will be twenty-five cents each.
