The Greenville Area Public Library was established in 1921 in the former Penn High School with Katherine H. Rock serving as the first librarian and remaining as the Library Director for the next 46 years. In 1959, the library was moved next door to what is the current library site; the existing library building was completed in 1972.

~Good, Phyllis
So what do you remember about your kitchen as you were growing up? What all went on there besides cooking and dishwashing? Did your mom preside—and how did you know it was her domain?

On the Front Lines of Pennsylvania Politics
~Baer, John
Pennsylvania, first home of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, has a tradition of political progress. However, along with the good, the political playground of Pennsylvania has also seen the brazenly bad behavior of its political leaders. For over twenty-five years, political columnist John Baer has had a front-row seat to the foibles and follies of the Keystone State`s political system. Baer takes readers through his memories of covering state politics for the last quarter century, from Democratic governor Milton Shapp`s short-lived run for president--in which he finished behind "no preference" in the Florida primary--to highlights of some of the game-changing campaign missteps and maneuvers that moved administrations in and out of the capital.

The Lady and the Peacock
~Popham, Peter
Until she was released in November 2010, Aung San Suu Kyi had been under house arrest in Burma for fourteen of the previous twenty years. She was already confined to her home when the party she co-founded and led, the National League for Democracy, won a landslide victory in a general election in 1990. The result was never acknowledged by the military regime in power for many decades. Yet, headline, tragic events have happened in Burma in recent years- the brutally put down uprising of the monks and nuns in 2007, the devastation left by Cyclone Nargis in 2008, and then Aung San Suu Kyi`s trial following the entry into her home of an American intruder who swam across a lake to reach her. Since then there have been sham elections held in November 2010, and `Daw Suu` (as the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate is known) was released into an uneasy stand off with the junta.
Praised all over the world for her martyrdom, a matchless emblem of Buddhist fortitude and good humour to her people, there is no public figure in the world today who can compare to her.

Houses of the Founding Fathers
~Howard, Hugh
When they declared independence in Philadelphia in 1776, they changed the course of Western history. But the patriots- landowners, merchants, and professional men who hailed from towns, cities, and plantations scattered along the eastern seaboard- had private lives too, quite apart from the public deeds we know so well.

Magical Journey
~Kenison, Katrina
With the candor and warmth that have endeared her to readers, Kenison reflects on the inevitable changes wrought by time- the death of a dear friend, children leaving home, recognition of her own physical vulnerability, and surprising shifts in her marriage. She finds solace in the notion that midlife is also a time of unprecedented opportunity for growth as old roles and responsibilities fall away, and unanticipated possibilities appear on the horizon.

Jane Austen`s World
~Lane, Maggie
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of the world`s most popular novelists, a sharp and witty writer whose stories enchant on their own and in numerous film and TV adaptations. Take a look at the woman behind the literature, discover her private life and examine the world she inhabited—a time when England was developing into a colonial power, the Napoleonic Wars raged, and the Regency took hold.
