The Friends of the New Cumberland Library are kicking off their 2024-2025 Cultural Series with a lecture and book signing by Allen J. Dieterich-Ward, author of Cradle of Conservation: An Environmental History of Pennsylvania. Allen Dieterich-Ward is Professor of History and Director of The Graduate School at Shippensburg University. His latest book deepens our understanding of how Pennsylvanians have conserved and consumed. From the origins of “Penn’s Woods” to the controversial practice of fracking, Cradle of Conservation provides the first comprehensive study of Pennsylvania’s environmental history. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
This program is part of the Friends of New Cumberland Public Library Cultural Series, which is generously underwritten by Members 1st Federal Credit Union.
