2007 marks the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Association's 100th anniversary, and they have been celebrating a century of service all year. The main building in Montrose was dedicated on November 8, 1907. Everyone is invited to an Open House (with refreshments) on Thursday, November 8, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., at all four county library locations: Forest City (531 Main St.), Hallstead/Great Bend (201 Franklin St., Hallstead), Montrose (2 Monument Sq.), and Susquehanna (286 Erie Blvd.) A brief re-dedication ceremony will be held in Montrose at 11 a.m., followed by a self-guided tour of the building all day – just follow the footsteps! The tour includes "behind the scenes" parts of the Library and Historical Society. For more information about the Library and Historical Society's services, visit www.susqcolibrary.org or call 278-1881.
The Susquehanna County Commissioners announced the Courthouse will be closed on Monday, November 12 in observance of Veterans’ Day. All court related offices will be available.
Forest Landowners Annual Meeting The 2007 annual meeting of the Susquehanna County Forest Landowners Association includes a light social, a short business meeting and a guest speaker. The evening’s speaker will be Jack Sorber, President of the Susquehanna Branch of the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA). QDMA is a national nonprofit wildlife conservation organization dedicated to ethical hunting, sound deer management and preservation of the deer-hunting heritage. The QDMA also is a recognized leader in deer research, hunter education, hunter recruitment, and hunter advocacy. Jack Sorber is a Susquehanna County native. After retiring from 42 years in corporate America, Jack has been active in QDMA, National Wild Turkey Federation and Habitat Pro. As guest speaker, Jack will talk about his assessment of our county’s deer herds and the impacts on our forests. He will also discuss how the deer herds impact the habitat for all wildlife dwelling in our forests. The annual meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 16 in the conference room at the New Milford Borough Building. The meeting will start with a social period and will be followed by a brief business meeting. While we cordially invite anyone interested in this topic to attend, we extend a special invitation to deer hunters of all ages. All SCFLOA and QDMA members are encouraged to attend. This is a free event. This event is sponsored by the Susquehanna County Forest Landowners Association and the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry. For information, call Jim Kessler, Bureau of Forestry, 278-4600 ext. 270, or Helga Walz, Treasurer of SCFLOA at 553-2993.
Library Fundraising Campaign Kicks Off The Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Association invites the community to celebrate the official Fundraising Campaign Kick-Off for its new library. On November 15 at 1 p.m., library supporters are encouraged to gather at the new, 3.3 acre Bridgewater Township building site on High School Road, donated by the Montrose Area School Board of Education. Color renderings of the new 20,000 square foot structure will be unveiled. Library and Historical Society Board of Trustees will announce plans for the current landmark as well as the new library facility, and will answer questions. Soccer star kickers representing county schools will officially and literally kick-off the $5 million fundraising initiative needed to achieve the project goal. On November 8, Susquehanna County celebrates the 100th anniversary of its historic 9,250 square foot library and museum at 2 Monument Square, Montrose. Since 1908 that location has housed both the Historical Society and the Library collections. For many years now, every item added to the library’s collection has required that one be removed due to lack of space. This overcrowding has also resulted in the majority of the Historical Society’s collections being kept in storage, and in the discontinuation of their prize winning exhibitions. The facilities have been overwhelmed by an inventory of 93,700 books, periodicals, cassettes, DVDs and CDs in the library, and over 18,000 items in the Museum. The combined circulation for the Main Library and its three branches has grown from under 14,000 items in 1915 to a staggering 250,500 items per year in 2006. A state-licensed consultant has determined that a building of at least 20,000 square feet is needed to serve the county in the 21st century. A broad base of local commitment and support is an essential prerequisite to securing the outside assistance from foundations that will make this happen. The New Library Development Committee Chairperson, Kim Harwood will announce the progress of fundraising to date, and outline the Committee’s long term plans. Library Facts: in 1908 less than 3% of county residents had library cards, today 40% have cards; outreach services reach 221 residents with 6000 Books-by-Mail annually; outreach annually delivers 260 boxes of materials to six school districts; the library serves 12 personal care/nursing homes and senior centers. The Main Library serves branches in Forest City, Hallstead-Great Bend and Susquehanna, plus eight deposit stations. The Library has only six parking spaces – over 60 are needed.
Alice M. Davis, Administrative Director of the Susquehanna County Career & Technology Center, is proud to announce the SCCTC’s SkillsUSA/VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) Officers for the 2007/2008 school year. pictured (l-r) are: Alex Bennett, Secretary; Cory Simon, Treasurer; Heather Minick, President; Alyssa Sprout, Vice President.
