 Easttown Library Continues to Celebrate 10th Year in the New Building! On February 21, 2003 the newly constructed Easttown Library opened its doors to the public. Last Friday the library marked the 10th anniversary of our building by giving out gold star shaped cookies to visitors. The cookies served as a token of thanks for the support of the community and the township for making this wonderful facility a reality. We continue to innovate and meet the increasing needs of our community. Click here to view pictures of the construction of the current Easttown Library.

Commonwealth Speaker Millicent Sparks Will Present
The Harriet Tubman Living History Experience
Sunday, March 24, 2 p.m.
As part of Easttown Library's 10th anniversary celebration of its new building, Commonwealth Speaker Millicent Sparks will present The Harriet Tubman Living History Experience. The most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman helped thousands of enslaved Africans to escape to freedom. Her life story is a monument to courage and fearless resolve. This living history performance depicts this 19th century icon by blending accounts of Tubman's life. Included are Negro spirituals sung by Tubman, often as coded messages designed to facilitate the guiding of her fugitives northward. At the conclusion of the portrayal, Ms. Sparks will interact with the audience, responding in character to questions about Tubman's life in slavery, the Underground Railroad, and the Civil War.
