THE HTFL CONNECTION March 7 - 20, 2021
Note from the Director
We are seeing glimmers of the Spring that is to come. It is also giving us joy andanticipation of warmer days ahead, when we will be able to enjoy reading outside the wallsof our homes.
We are pleased to announce that the Friends of the Haverford Township Free Library hada very successful fundraiser with Anthony’s Coal Fire Pizza last week. The Friends raisedover $340 that will go to support the Library! We would like to extend our appreciation toAnthony’s Coal Fire Pizza, and to all who participated, and to the Friends for organizingthis event.
We hosted a powerful program last night; In Plain Sight: The History of Slavery inHaverford Township. The response from the community was overwhelming with over270 attendees - shattering our previous record for virtual program participants! Ourpresenter Colin McCrossan shared his research about slavery in the township and some ofthe individual histories of enslaved people who lived here. Click here to view a recording ofthe event. We were very encouraged by the response to the program and we hope toprovide more programs like this for our community in the future!
You will also see below some new book picks from our librarians that you can order usingour online catalog or through calling the library at (610) 446-3082, ext. 503. Once yourorder is ready, you can come by and pick it up using our curbside service. We hope to seeyou at the door soon!
Warm regards,
Sukrit Goswami, Library Director
