Annual 'Season's Readings' on Wednesday
For the 18th consecutive year, the Friends of Hanley Library at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will present its annual “Season’s Readings” on WESB’s Live Line program next week.
The show, which can be heard at 1490 AM, will be broadcast at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8.
Dr. Don Ulin, associate professor of English at Pitt-Bradford, will share some poems from around the world with Christmas and mid-winter themes. He will also read a first-hand account from a World War I soldier who participated in one of the Christmas truces, when English and German soldiers gave up war for a day -- or sometimes more -- to share a glass of beer, a game of football and some Christmas carols.
“The Friends are grateful to Dr. Ulin for bringing this wonderful holiday event to our region each December and for continuing the tradition begun by Dr. Laing in the 1990s,” said Stephen Eidson, a Friends’ program committee member. “We always look forward to hearing his selections. We also appreciate that WESB’s Live Line format allows the Friends to reach many listeners in their homes and places of work.”
The annual holiday radio program was created by the late Dr. Robert Laing, professor emeritus at Pitt-Bradford and a board member of the Friends of Hanley Library. The Friends of Hanley Library was founded in 1990 to strengthen relations between the community and Pitt-Bradford’s Hanley Library.
The Friends also acquaints area residents with what the library has to offer by sponsoring cultural and educational programs, usually related to books and authors.
