New Exhibit

Library staffer, Carol Maxwell has done it again! She's created a fabulous display as part of the College's 60th Anniversary on one of the most famous residents of the Greenspring Valley, opera singer Rosa Ponselle. The Display features some unique photos of the Singer, news clippings detailing events in her life, and 2 pairs of the star's shoes on loan from a friend of the library who wishes to remain anonymous. Oh yes, and books about her life are also featured. If you want to hear how she sounded, you can borrow a DVD or CD recording from the library's collection, or easier still, go to YouTube and plug her name into the search box. I promise you will not be disappointed. Rosa's voice is amazing, and she had quite a stage presence. To see where she lives, all you need to do is look out the window and across Greenspring Valley Road to her former home, Villa Pace.
