Step Back in Time Program to kick-off National Library Week

The Peters Township Public Library will begin its National Library Week festivities on Sunday, April 11 at 1:00 p.m. with Step Back in Time: A Celebration of Life in Peters Township. The event, which will remember the history of Peters Township through exhibits, memorabilia, photographs, and slide presentations, is an excellent tie in with this year’s national theme of Communities Thrive @ your library.

The afternoon will begin with the Peters Township High School Jazz Band performing a variety of big band music. Visitors to the library that afternoon will also:

  • Meet Robert Donaldson and Patricia Donaldson Stutzman at their exhibit One Hundred years of Change at Donaldson's Crossroads.
  • Tour the library's Local History Room collection and discover treasures from the way life used to be in Peters Township.
  • Walk down memory lane with Edward Lybarger for a slideshow presentation Last Days of the Hollywood (Restaurant) and enjoy Hollywood Memorabilia courtesy of the Bob and Jane McClure family.

The Peters Township Public Library welcomes new residents to this event, as well as families who fondly recall living in the area during earlier times. Activities are scheduled from 1:00-4:30 p.m. that day, with refreshments at the conclusion provided compliments of Peters Township Friends of the Library. Register for this free program at the library's circulation desk or by calling 724-941-9430.

Stop by the Reference Desk on the second floor for a copy of the recipe. You can also check with the staff at the circulation desk on the first floor.
