Visit Russia tonight...

From our Reference Librarian, Sue Bowser, about a special program tonight:


Unique Russian Travelogue

Mark Gallagher will give a special multi-media presentation on the culture of Russia on Thursday, September 7, at 7:00 p.m. in the Bates Auditorium of the Lancaster Public Library. Famous Russian attractions such as the Hermitage, Peter the Great’s Summer Palace, the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral will be represented, but Gallagher will also touch on less known sites and the people of Russia.

A veteran Manheim Central teacher and owner of Unique Global Tours, Mark Gallagher has traveled extensively in Russia and spent a year long sabbatical in the country. He is particularly interested in the homeless problem resulting from Russia’s break from communism.
