The Friends of the Doylestown Library will host the following four free programs in March at the Doylestown Library, located at 150 S. Pine St. in Doylestown:
Preventing Scams, Saturday, March 15, 2 to 3 pm: Presenters from the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office will help you learn ways to protect yourself by becoming more skeptical of unsolicited offers. This program aims to strengthen financial literacy.
A Visit with Harriet Tubman, Sunday, March 23, from 2 to 3:15 pm: Embark on an immersive journey with Harriet Tubman in this first-person presentation spanning her childhood to adulthood. This powerful portrayal by Shirley Lee Corsey, of Gather Place Museum in Yardley, is appropriate for all ages, and will leave you inspired and uplifted. This program strives to improve civic and social literacy.
Improv Night: An Event for All Ages, Thursday, March 27, 6:30 to 8 pm: Rick Horner and his troupe of local performers invite you to discover the world again through improvisational comedy. According to Horner, part of the magic that improv brings is when the entire room imagines a new world together for the first time. This program supports civic and social literacy.
Black Out Poetry, Saturday, March 29, 1 to 3 pm: This form of “found poetry” allows you to select words that catch your interest from newspapers, books, or other printed texts, and construct your own poem by blacking out parts of the original material. The words left behind reveal your poem. Presented by local artist/educator Nancy Taylor, Black Out Poetry is appropriate for ages 14 and up. All supplies will be provided. Pre-registration is requested – email friendsofdoylestownlibrary@gmail.com. This program supports basic literacy.
