Discuss A Midsummer Night’s Dream

October 1, 2016 by Carrie Weaver

In conjunction with a local production of Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the library will offer a discussion of the play on Friday, October 14 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. The program, geared to adults and teens, is being offered to enhance your viewing of the production at the Little Lake Theater in October and November.

Registration is required to attend this program. Register online or call 724.941.9430 #1 to register.

Jane Hollman, a former English teacher at Upper St. Clair High School and fervent Shakespeare fan, will provide background about the English Renaissance and of Shakespeare’s contributions to the times. She will lead the discussion in preparation for viewing A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You are encouraged to read the play before attending the program.

After the discussion, a winner will be chosen to receive two complimentary tickets donated by Little Lake Theater to attend any Thursday, Friday or Sunday performance of the play at their theater during the October or November run.

College Financial Aid Night

August 29, 2016 by Carrie Weaver

Significant changes are coming to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) this year. To help high school seniors and their parents understand how the changes will affect filing for federal financial aid and possibly how much aid they will receive, the Peters Township Public Library will partner with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) to offer a College Financial Aid Night on Tuesday, September 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Jayeann Harr, Education Access Partner with PHEAA, will explain how with the new process, families will be able to begin completing the FAFSA on October 1, rather than January 1. This change more closely aligns the financial aid application process with the admission application process. In order to accommodate this earlier filing schedule, the FAFSA will collect income information from two years prior to the academic year rather than the previous year.

Registration is required for this program. Register online or call 724.941.9430 #1.

Looking at Lincoln Exhibit

August 17, 2016 by Carrie Weaver

Beginning Tuesday, August 30 through Tuesday, September 27, the library was chosen by Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to host the exhibit Looking at Lincoln: Political Cartoons from the Civil War Era. This national traveling exhibition explores the Civil War and issues of slavery through political cartoons depicting Abraham Lincoln and his policies. These cartoons are vividly biting; they invite us to put aside twenty-first-century assumptions and look at events through the eyes of people living in the era. Among the highlights are: a California printing of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln and political cartoons relating to the election of 1860. As Americans continue to debate the legacy of slavery, these cartoons provide a historical point of reference for current events. The public is invited to view the exhibit during library hours.
