Books on Screen Program nearly filled

If you were considering signing up for our Books on Screen program to begin in February, please come into the library as soon as possible to do so! We only have room for four more participants before we reach the maximum permitted by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council.

In case you are not familiar with this very popular program, Books on Screen compares four acclaimed films and the literature that inspired them. This book discussion series begins in February 2009 at the library on Sunday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Our discussions will be facilitated by David R. Shumway, Professor of English, and Literary and Cultural Studies at Carnegie Mellon University.

Visit the adult program page on our web site for more details about the books/film adaptations to be discussed as well as the program dates. If you have any questions, please call the Reference Department at 724-941-9430 ext. 327.
