Celebrate Constitution Day with a special guest on Monday September 18!

Please join us as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution (Sept. 17, 1787).  This year, the anniversary falls on a Sunday, so we will be celebrating on Monday, September 18.

This year, the Office of Civic Engagement and Ort Library have partnered together to bring you a very special guest.  Ben Franklin will be available at the library on Monday from 11:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. We hope you have a chance to stop by to say hello to one of our favorite founding fathers. While you're here you can enjoy some refreshments, get a selfie with Mr. Franklin, and pick up a pocket Constitution!

Every year, we commemorate the signing of the Constitution and honor the men who signed this important document by celebrating Constitution Day!

Please join us in the celebration by visiting our online library guide as well as our display cases.

Also visit the two library displays located on the third floor of the library to learn more about the Constitution and some of the related materials that you can check out from the library.

The library guide is available at http://libguides.frostburg.edu/constitution.  This year, we are including a tab links to biographical information about Mr. Franklin and the other founding fathers along with additional information about the Constitutional Convention of 1787!

Please take some time today to learn a little more about the Constitution with these resources today.

Happy Constitution Day!
