The Friends of the Mercer Public Library invite you to join us for another riveting performance by Jessica Michna on Sunday, July 14 at 2:00 p.m. Michna has performed at the Mercer Library as Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Katherine Wright, and we are looking forward to her appearance as Molly Brown this summer! Remembered as “The Unsinkable” Molly Brown, the lady was more than a survivor of the Titanic disaster. Gold prospector, gambler, and card shark barely scratches the surface of this brave, dynamic woman of the early 20th century. Learn of Molly's fascinating life and meet some of the interesting characters she met along the way. Jessica Michna founded her company, "First Impressions," in the year 2000 to share her love of theater and history. In 2016, she was awarded the Presidential Service Center’s Distinguished Service award for her riveting portrayals of First Ladies. While she has appeared before a wide range of audiences, including appearances at the National Churchill Museum, the Lincoln Boyhood Home National Site, and Valley Forge, Jessica is particularly fond of performing for senior groups and communities. Her repertoire now includes over 20 historical women, including several U.S. First Ladies, figures from important eras […]

We live and spend our vacations on an ancient subcontinent. It has been the subject of violent geological forces for billions of years. Significantly, the record of those events is right there to see on our exposed earth surface and in the records of those who mined the resulting metallic formations. Learn more in a free lecture sponsored by the library at 2:00PM on July 19, followed by an optional field trip on July 20. Dick Thiede will present a free lecture on "The Spectacular Geology of Iron County and The Northern Highlands" on Friday, July 19 at 2:00 p.m. at the Mercer Public Library. We will journey through 4.5 billion years of our history with emphasis on the unlikely chain of events of the last 1.9 billion years that created vast mineral wealth and shaped our county and the whole subcontinent. In the lecture, we will look at rock samples which show evidence of the beginnings of multicellular life 1.9 billion years ago, the tremendous and violent volcanic activity which created precious metal deposits in our neighborhoods, and the repeated transitions from ocean to soaring mountain ranges. We will discuss millions of years of “rock cycles” which are still […]
