| The Palmer Branch DVD collection
has grown. - Stop by and check it out!
Audio collection : This past year the
Palmer Branch of the EAPL was the recipient from the estate of
Pauline D. Pierce. According to Mrs. Pierce’s wishes, the money is
to be spent on expanding and updating the audio collection of the
library. Mrs. Pierce was known throughout our community with her
radio talk show, “Listen and Win with Peggy Lynn” on the former WEST
radio station in Easton, PA. Due to the generosity of Mrs. Pierce,
our audio collection has shown considerable growth. |
