* On February 19, 1473, Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Poland to a prosperous merchant family. Originally designed for a career in church law, he is considered the father of modern astronomy and was the first European scientist to propose that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun.

* On February 18, 1937, severe dust storms hit five western states, resulting in a dozen deaths within a few days. Citizens were advised to plug their window sills and door jambs, and hang wet sheets over their doors and windows. They could taste dirt and dust in their food, and the clouds of it were so thick that they blocked the sun.

* On February 14, 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy led a virtual tour of the White House’s state rooms, which she had recently refurbished. Wearing a red wool dress and pearls, she described the mansion’s antiques, furnishings and historic portraits to a wide TV audience at home, earning both critical praise and an honorary Emmy.

* On February 13, 1974, the Symbionese Liberation Army, which had kidnapped 19­year­old heiress Patricia Hearst, demanded a ransom in the form of $70 worth of food to be given to every needy Californian ­ an exchange that could cost as much as $400 million.

Library Friends Make Significant Donation “Pieces From The Past” - Featuring The Terre Hill Historical Society

The Friends of the Adamstown Area Library presented their annual donation of $25,000 to Library Director, Carolyn Reiste. The Friends donation is not limited to once a year as they also respond to various requests from the Library Director throughout the year. In 2022 that request included two folding wheeled tables for the conference room, numerous back yard picnic games (available for rental), and a 3D printer.

Still searching for a venue to hold the “Bucks for Books” Auction fundraiser, the Friends had to rely solely on the success of two events, Basket Bingo and Tuesday Book Sales. Once again, the public came through with their support. Proceeds from the two events enabled the Friends to fulfill their yearly obligation to the library. This was made possible, not only by those who volunteer many hours to work at the Friends events, but by those who donate and attend those fundraisers.

Another bit of good news from the FriendsThe Tuesday Book Sales are back ­ by popular demand. They are open for business from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., except for the second Tuesday of every month when the sale will close at 5:30 p.m. due to an ongoing evening library program. Book donations are being accepted at the library, 110 West Main Street in Adamstown and at the ‘mailbox’ in the lobby of Weaver Markets.

The Friends are now offering their “Glance at Romance” Valentine Bag Sale at the library and on Sunday, March 19 their famous Basket Bingo will take place at the Reamstown Fire Hall. For details on the Friends fundraising activities, visit their website at www. friendsaalibrary.net.

“Pieces From The Past” continues this week, featuring the Terre Hill Historical Society. In this weekly article, Shopping News readers will learn about local items housed in local museums and historical societies.

Shown in the photo are two spikes from the Terre Hill trolley that ran from 1905 to 1932. The trolley traveled from Eden to New Holland, and on to Terre Hill. It was quite impressive for its time.

The Terre Hill Historical Society’s meeting is held the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Terre Hill Community Center. The club encourages anyone who has an interest in Terre Hill and its rich history to come out to any meeting night and join them in this effort to preserve the history for future generations. Also, the Society is always looking for anyone who has old artifacts from Terre Hill’s past to add to their
