NEPA Philharmonic in parternship with the Osterhout Free Library presents the Crescendo Family Concert, an outreach effort geared towards getting children exposed to the arts, specifically quality orchestral music, at a young age. The Crescendo Family Concert is an annual three-part event with the theme this year, "Tune Into Heritage". The event consists of an interactive web page, a dozen or so interactive partner stations pertaining to several aspects of our local heritage, and then finally the concert itself. All of these activities were created with the idea of getting children exposed to orchestral music as well as some of our local heritage and cultures.

Monday - August 13 - 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.

POWER library provides access to various databases covering various subject areas. If you need pictures, photographs and fact sheets, you can try AP Multimedia . If you need detailed articles, go to EBSCO Animals and conduct the search.
Information can also be found on the Internet, however you must be careful about the authority of the publisher. Usually, sites with domain name . edu, .net, .org., and .gov, etc. are considered more reliable than sites with a domain name .com.
If you have any questions or need help with your research paper, please call us @ 823-0156. To reach the reference librarian after hours, try ASK Here PA, our 24/7 reference service.
You may want to limit your search to "Full Text" articles only so that you can read or print the article right from your computer. You can always come to the library if the EBSCOhost does not provide access to particular Full Text articles.
