From the Publisher: “Millions of readers have delighted in the wonderful storytelling and everyday miracles of James Herriot in the over thirty years since his delightful animal stories were first introduced to the world.

Now in a new edition for the first time in a decade, All Things Bright and Beautiful is the beloved sequel to Herriot’s first collection, All Creatures Great and Small, and picks up as Herriot, now newly married, journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants—both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot’s deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine out as we laugh, cry, and delight in his portraits of his many, varied animal patients and their equally varied owners.”

Nancy Kay Holmes Library Plans Community Meeting

SCRANTON – Community members and library visitors are invited to a public meeting at the Nancy Kay Holmes Library on Saturday, February 26 at 2:00 P.M. or via Zoom. During the meeting, library representatives will share preliminary plans for renovating the branch and ask attendees for their ideas on how the branch can better serve the community.

The original library structure still stands proudly at the busy Green Ridge Street and Wyoming Avenue intersection. The Nancy Kay Holmes Library Renovation Project will include a handicap accessible entrance and other ADA compliant upgrades, as currently there is no access for disabled patrons or caregivers with strollers or other equipment. The goal of the renovation project is to make the Nancy Kay Holmes Library accessible to all residents of Green Ridge and Dunmore and to modernize the building’s interior to serve the community more adequately.

To RSVP for the public meeting and, if needed, receive a Zoom link, guests can fill out a quick survey or call (570) 795-4315. For questions regarding the public meeting, please contact Jessica Serrenti at jserrenti@albright.org.

For questions regarding the Nancy Kay Holmes Library Renovation Project, please contact Library CEO Scott Thomas at (570) 348-3000 ext. 5000.
