Meet the Authors Night
With the expected delivery of the history book "Slatington at 150 Years: More Stories to Share" from Chernay Printing, the Slatington 150 History Committee has announced a program to introduce the book to the public.
The committee has scheduled a book unveiling and meet the authors event from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Slatington Library, located at 650 Main St. in Slatington.
Following the book unveiling, some brief remarks and a special book dedication, the public will have its first opportunity to pick up reserved copies of the book.
The hard-bound 582-page book, almost two years in the making, will contain information on Slatington churches, businesses, family histories, disasters, Slatington/Northern Lehigh High School athletics and much more.
Around 100 copies remain to be sold. Order forms are located at the Slatington Library, Bechtel's Pharmacy, 302 Main St., and Galio's Market at 43 S. Walnut St., all in Slatington.
