Phoenixville Public Library

The Fourth Wednesday Readers, Phoenixville Public Library’s on-site book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet at the Library Wednesday, August 26 at 1:00 PM. The group will discuss Lisa Wingate’s bestselling novel, The Book of Lost Friends. 

Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous aftermath of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now-destitute plantation; Juneau Jane, her illegitimate free-born Creole half-sister; and Hannie, Lavinia's former slave. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following dangerous roads rife with ruthless vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. Louisiana, 1987: For first-year teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job at a poor rural school seems like the ticket to canceling her hefty student debt--until she lands in a tiny, out-of-step Mississippi River town. Augustine, Louisiana, seems suspicious of new ideas and new people, and Benny can scarcely comprehend the lives of her poverty-stricken students. But amid the gnarled live oaks and run-down plantation homes lies the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything.

Phoenixville Public Library will host a free presentation, “Mammograms: Examining Recommended Routine Screenings for Women Over 40”, on Monday, August 31 at 6:30 PM. Dr. James Kolter will be the speaker. Staying informed about mammography and its implications is vital for all women over 40 and healthcare professionals alike. The official recommendation of our Government’s Task Force has changed despite the lack of new data for analysis. Mammography is now recommended for all women over 40 years of age. This revision is intended to reflect a shared effort to balance benefits and risks. However, the weighing of the cons perhaps should be given to women in this balancing act. Join this presentation to understand what all this means for women’s health and how mammography recommendations are evolving. Your participation in this presentation will help you make more informed decisions about women's health and medical care. 

James Kolter, M.D., completed both his medical degree (1976) and Ob/Gyn residency training (1980) from the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout his career, one of his joys was teaching medical students from Pennsylvania Hospital, PCOM, Temple School of Medicine, and Jefferson School of Medicine. Furthermore, he helped develop minimally invasive surgical techniques, including a strong robotic surgery program, while serving as Chief of Ob/Gyn at Paoli Hospital. He retired from Bryn Mawr Hospital in 2018, where he taught medical students and supported physicians in learning from his surgical experiences. He continues his education to this day; much of his learning has come from his patients and their experiences, which aligns with his philosophy of balancing nature and technology.

This event is free and open to the public. The program will also be livestreamed on Zoom for those unable to attend in person.
