We've got students and community patrons studying and using the computers on this dreary day. So come on by, stay dry and while you're here, you can relax and read a magazine, a newspaper or a book or use the computers and surf the 'Net.

Beer City Gals Invade SCCC/ATS Library

The Seward County Community College/Area Technical School and its patrons were treated to a wonderful performance by "the Beer City Gals" Monday.

The library had a record turnout for the event as the audience was treated to a wonderful skit, which was highly entertaining and informative.

Booze, Broads and Brothels -- Beer City Gals

On November 9th, the library is proud to present "the Beer City Gals," a reader’s theater group headed by Dr. V. Pauline Hodges of Beaver, OK.

This is the academic year’s first program of “Lunch in the Library,” a series of presentations in the library over the noon hour.

The Beer City Gals tell the story of a group of Liberal women who travel to the 19th century border-town of Beer City, OK to convince the madame of the local brothel, Pussy Cat Nell, to leave the area.

The "Lunch in the Library" series will include historical performers, musicians, athletes, authors and poets and run for approximately one hour.

Light refreshments will be provided, and anyone attending is welcomed to bring their lunch. The program will start at noon.

November Traveling Exhibit -- "Kansas Homes Through the Years"

The Seward County Community College/Area Technical School Library is proud to present the traveling exhibit "Kansas Homes Through the Years."

People build houses according to tradition. When people move to a new place, they take along a lifetime of ideas about how their new world should look. Culture dictates shape, materials, tools, placement, size, and meaning. Houses built by Kansans throughout many centuries highlight the process of people creating structures within a specific physical setting, guided by the technical idea of “house” and the cultural blueprint of “home.”

This exhibit takes a look at homes through the years in Kansas. From the Native American tipis to sod houses, Victorian houses, bungalows, and ranches, this exhibit explores what motivated the change in house styles.

Kansas Homes Through the Years illustrates the changing house styles through historic photographs and other primary sources such as diary entries, building records and catalog advertisements.

This exhibit was produced by the Kansas State Historical Society with funding from the Topeka Home Builders Association.

The exhibit is open to the public for the entire month of November.

For more information, contact the SCCC/ATS Library at (620) 417-1160.
