The Penn State Harrisburg library was awarded a Gold Star by PA Forward and the Pennsylvania Library Association for the second quarter of 2019 for activities that promote five essential literacies: basic; civic and social; health; information; and financial. This makes the Penn State Harrisburg library one of five academic libraries and 30 libraries total in Pennsylvania that have been awarded a star.
Penn State Harrisburg swim instructor Holly Mckenna swam the English Channel to raise money for Swim for a Cure and Surfers Healing, two charities close to her heart.
Although she did not complete the swim, McKenna is determined to try again,“My adventure is not done and I plan to return and try again, because I believe in dreaming big and fighting for the causes that are so close to my heart."
