Howl at the Library with Tom Seiling

On June 12th, Tom Seiling brought his guitar, banjo, drum machine and a whole lot of good fun to Radnor Memorial Library to kick off Sumnmer Reading Club!! Check out the start to our great summer.


Science in the Summer in three letters: DNA




Wow! We had a successful Science in the Summer class this season at Radnor Memorial Library! Cheri Freeman, who teaches Biology at the Penn-Delco School district during the year, was our instructor. She expertly explained Genetics to our 64 participants. Students fashioned a DNA model, extracted DNA from strawberries, learned about genetic mutations and more. Oh, and everyone, including me learned out to pronounce DeoxyriboNucleic Acid that's DNA to you lay people.
