If you've been watching the blog and our program announcements, you may have noticed that more and more evening programs are being scheduled here at the library. This is due in large part to increased funding that has been made available which will allow the library to return to the following hours as of March 1st.
Monday-Thursday 9:00 a.m.--9:00 p.m.
Friday & Saturday-- 9:00 a.m.--5:30 p.m.
We are excited about this opportunity to further serve you.
And today, head of the Reference Department here at the library, Sue Bowser, shares some information on one of these new evening programs, an exciting new book discussion group that you can join...
Do you think of Victorians as very prim and proper, the type of folks who were so easily embarrassed that they covered the legs of a piano? Explore the darker side of the era at the "Deadly Victorians" book discussion group at the Lancaster Public Library.
First up on March 23 is The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson. See the 1893 Chicago World Fair through the story of two very different men whose only common denominator was their total obsession. Architect Daniel H. Burnham was obsessed with designing the fair and making it the greatest event ever. Fake pharmacist H. H. Holmes was obsessed with becoming wealthy and committing an unknown number of murders on the way.
Titles have been selected for April and May as well. We'll post those here in the blog as the dates get closer. But these discussions begin at 7:30 p.m. in the library's Windolph Room, and are open to anyone interested in reading the work, with no pre-registration required. If you have any questions contact Sue at 239-2117 or e-mail her at sbowser@lancaster.lib.pa.us.
One other reminder today, and that is the library is CLOSED tomorrow (February 18) and Monday (February 20) for the long holiday weekend.
