William Jeanes Memorial Library and Nicholas and Athena Karabots Center for Learning

Registered therapy dogs and their volunteer owners visit the Library to spend time one-on-one with participants.&nbsp;Space is limited and registration is required!
School-age children can practice reading with one of the dogs, if they wish. Why read to dogs? Most children have a natural affinity for and bond with dogs, and because dogs are non-judgmental, children are less self-conscious while reading aloud to them. Children can improve their reading skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, while enhancing self-esteem, motivating speech, and building confidence. Reading to a therapy dog can decrease stress and anxiety in general, and specifically while reading aloud in front of other human listeners! If children associate reading with struggle, worry, or embarrassment, this is a chance to create new and pleasant associations with reading instead!
For anyone of any age who wants to spend time with a dog without reading, that’s fine too! Time spent with the dog can simply be to get comfortable and less fearful around a dog in a safe environment, or to just to ease the stress of life by petting a loving companion.
Registration will be available on this page beginning one week in advance.

The&nbsp;Declaration&nbsp;of&nbsp;Independence&nbsp;revealed both the American revolutionaries’ aspirational new ideals and their&nbsp;often-conflicting established values and interests. As a result, the&nbsp;Declaration&nbsp;has both inspired reform causes and justified restraints on radical changes throughout American history. Professor Rogers M. Smith illuminates the tensions within the&nbsp;Declaration, the many roles it has played in American history, and what it might meant to take the&nbsp;Declaration&nbsp;as central to American national identity today.
Presented by Dr. Rogers Smith,&nbsp;Christopher H. Browne Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania.&nbsp;His many publications include Civic Ideals, a 1998 Pulitzer Prize Finalist. Smith has been Penn’s Associate Dean for Social Sciences and President of the American Political Science Association. He was founding director of the Penn DCC Program, the forerunner of the Andrea Mitchell Center, and co-founder of the Teachers Institute of Philadelphia. He received five teaching prizes from Penn and Yale. Smith is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and the American Philosophical Society.

Grundy Museum

Take a Free Tour of a Victorian Splendor on the Delaware! The Grundy Museum is a jewel of historic house museums on the banks of the Delaware River in Historic Bristol Borough. Fully restored from 2018-2025 and features rooms decorated in different styles spanning the Rococo Revival to the Aesthetic Movement to the Edwardian period, the Museum was awarded the Victorian Society in America Award for the exemplary restoration and rehabilitation. This landmark preserves the legacy of the Grundy family and offers visitors a unique glimpse into life during the Victorian Era. The Museum’s extensive collection is highly unusual for a historic house museum as almost all the items belonged to the Grundy family. The museum serves as a cultural destination for those interested in antiques, local history, and architecture. Docents take visitors through the meticulously restored rooms, showcasing the elaborate furnishings and sharing stories of the Grundy family’s contributions to Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania, and national affairs. Visitors can also enjoy the expansive gardens and riverfront vistas. Visit throughout the year for special programs, exhibits, and holiday events, including the annual Victorian Holiday House.
