The Hershey Public Library has purchased book lockers through a grant award of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services in addition to support from the Friends of the Hershey Public Library. The book lockers will allow library users to pick up physical materials 24/7.

To access the lockers, library users will log into their online account and place a hold on items. After users receive a text or email with a five-digit passcode, they will visit the lockers and type the passcode or scan a QR code to retrieve their materials. They may also call the library during operating hours to request that items be placed into the lockers, and patrons will be given a code at the time of their call.

This project is made possible in part by ARPA funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services as administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Office of Commonwealth Libraries.

The Hershey Public Library’s new book lockers will allow patrons to pick up items at any time.

The Susquehanna Chorale, an adult chamber ensemble of 40 auditioned singers, will present its traditional Candlelight Christmas concert series.

The chorale will perform on Friday, Dec. 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performing Arts, Messiah University, 1 University Ave., Mechanicsburg; on Saturday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m. at Leffler Chapel and Performance Center, Elizabethtown College, 1 Alpha Drive, Elizabethtown; and Sunday, Dec. 18, at 4 p.m. at Market Square Presbyterian Church, 20 S. Second St., Harrisburg. The programs will be conducted by founder and artistic director Linda L. Tedford.

A pre-concert instrumental recital will be presented by the Messiah University Brass 15 minutes prior to each performance. A reception for the audience and singers is planned following each program.

This year, the chorale’s program will be enhanced with musical accompaniment by brass, organ, piano, violin, and percussion. Members of the Messiah University Brass will be featured in several selections, including a performance of John Rutter’s threemovement “Gloria.”

The chorale’s opening processional, “Personent Hodie,” will set the stage for an array of music, such as Jim Clements’ “Gabriel’s Message,” Eric Whitacre’s “Lux Aurumque,” Jerry Rubino’s setting of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” Traditional songs and carols will follow, including an audience sing-along of Mack Wilberg’s “Joy to the World.” As the lights are dimmed and candles glow, the chorale will surround the audience for the traditional finale, “Silent Night.”

To purchase tickets, visit https://susquehannachorale .org/performances or call the Messiah University box office at 717-691-6036 and select option 1. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more people.
