Celebrate Pennsylvania! A History in Story and Song

The Meyersdale Public Library is pleased to host Celebrate Pennsylvania! A History in Story and Song

Award-winning performer Paula Purnell presents songs written by and about the people

of Pennsylvania, in this family-friendly and interactive presentation featuring authentic instruments,

costumes and props. From the indigenous people of the Eastern Woodlands, to early English settlers, on to the workers of the Industrial Age, Purnell invites audiences to explore how and why Pennsylvanians have

been making music for thousands of years. Volunteers don costumes to become George Washington,

Queen Aliquippa and other important people from Pennsylvania's past.

Artifacts provide opportunities to explore and discuss the daily life, toils and triumphs of bygone eras.

Labor Day Holiday & Survey Results

The Meyersdale Public Library will be closed September 6th in observance of the Labor Day Holiday. Please visit the library this week and select a good book, magazine, or movie to relax with during the 3-day weekend.

I appreciate the effort many of you made to respond to the Library-Use Survey we made available during the summer. I was very pleased to learn the overall consensus was that our library is doing a good job in meeting the expectations of the community. Many of you expressed your gratitude for the our collection, atmosphere, and helpful staff.

Your criticisms were acknowledged and valued. While there is little we can do about the frustrating parking situation, we did renovate the public bathroom and included suggested materials into our collection. The Meyersdale Public Library is here to serve you. Your suggestions and contributions are an important part of helping us be the best we can be. Other areas of improvement are be evaluated at this time. We will be announcing new technological upgrades soon!
