The Adamstown Area Library is located in Lancaster County serving Adamstown and Denver Boroughs, Brecknock, East & West Cocalico, and Spring (Berks) Townships. It is known as one of the friendliest libraries in the area. While the library holds an abundance of print, audio and video materials, it is also a full service passport agency

and offers an array of children, adult and technology programming. We would love to continue to offer these programs and be able to add more programming that benefits our community in the future. In order to do so, we need additional funding as our government funding has continually decreased over the past few years.

Programs to Celebrate NASA’s 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11’s Historic Moon Landing!

Milanof-Schock Library in Mount Joy will offer two special programs to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

A Historic Moon Landing Webinar will be presented on Monday, July 15 @ 4:00 pm  and Hubble Space Telescope will be held on Wednesday, July 17 at 6:30 pm. Both programs are free to the public and are geared toward adults, teens, and families with children old enough to sit through a presentation.  Registration is required.

Historic Moon Landing Webinar is a live webcast presented by the American Museum of Natural History that will feature a guided recreation of the Apollo 11 voyage – the space-flight that landed the first two astronauts on the Moon. Apollo 11’s first landing on the Moon was humanity’s first step onto another world, an exciting climax to the space race, and the world’s largest rocket at the time. It was a classic story of American ingenuity — leaving our home planet a mere one hundred years after connecting the transcontinental railroad, and only sixty-six years after the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight. Commander Neil Armstrong spoke eloquently about what an honor it was for him and fellow crew members, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, to accomplish President Kennedy’s goal of reaching the Moon, supported by the combined efforts of four hundred thousand Americans, by the year 1969. This July 20th, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of that accomplishment.

Hubble Space Telescope will provide an introduction to the Hubble Telescope, review its history and future, and view some of the best photographs taken by the telescope with an explanation of content of each. The program will be presented by Ann Strauss, a naturalist from the Lancaster Department of Parks and Recreation.

Please visit the Library’s website www.mslibrary.org for information about these programs.

2019 Summer Reading Program: A Universe of Stories Youth Services Intern: Nina Bonanno
The Youth Services Intern will assist youth librarian Colleen Gergely with the Library’s popular Summer Reading program.

Responsibilities also include enhancing the children’s area of the library to create a welcoming destination for families.

Apollo 11 Oral History Project – July 6, 8, and 9 between 2:00 and 5:00 PM
July 20, 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.  To commemorate the historic event, Manheim Community Library has created an oral history project under the direction of Digital Creation Intern Caden McMahan.  The community is invited to share their memories of this historic event. Brief personal interviews will be conducted on July 6th, 8th, and 9th between 2 and 5 PM at the Library. Recorded memories will be compiled into a presentation, featured in social media, as well as archived. Appointments are encouraged but walk-ins will be welcome as space allows.  The Library welcomes interest from outside organizations for possible collaborations for this memory project.

Electronic Music Class – Class Tuesdays from 3:00 to 5:00 PM and Open Workshop Thursdays from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, July 16 through August 8
Join us for a 4 week basic introduction to the creation of music using only an online computer program called Audiotool. We will learn about synthesizing sounds, creating beats, and utilizing samples to create an entire electronic track from scratch. Audiotool is free and accessible from any computer, so you can continue to work on your tracks at home once the class is finished. If you like both technology and music, then this is the right class for you! Bring headphones and a laptop if possible, but if necessary we can provide you with these. This class is taught by Digital Creation Intern Caden McMahan. Ages 10+. This program will run from July 16 to August 8. There will be 2-hour class sessions each Tuesday from 3 to 5 PM and an open workshop for individual assistance each Thursday from 2 to 5 PM. You can get caught up on any classes you miss in these workshops.

Gender and Sexuality Alliance – July 22 @ 6:00 PM
Manheim Community Library invites teens and interested supporters to join us in kicking off our new Gender and Sexuality Alliance on Monday, July 22nd at 6 PM. Snacks will be provided. Registration is appreciated to help us plan but walk-ins are welcome!
GSA is a popular club among schools around the country which serves as a support system for LGBTQ+ teens, and is a platform for them to incite change in their communities.  LGBTQ+ Allies are also encouraged to join and learn more about proper terminology and acceptance.  The club will be a fun, safe space for teens to get to know each other and talk about social issues related to the LGBTQ+ community.  Members will get to decide what they want the focus of the club to be and to organize projects based on the club’s goals.  The kickoff for the Library’s GSA will be run by intern Eva Hain as part of the Library’s participation in the Public Library Association’s Inclusive Internship Initiative. So please stop by, bring a friend, and be ready to brainstorm!

This program is funded by PLA with support from a pre-professional Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program Grant (grant RE-00-17-0129-17) from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
