[ToonaRockGuy]

Hey there fellow Rockpagers...

Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi". I'm in Mechanicsburg right now. For those who don't know (it happened kind of fast), I finally, FINALLY got a job! I'm currently in training, and won't be back home until the week of the 26th. It sucks being away from home, but I managed to find an internet cafe, so I had a few extra moments to pop in and check out what's going on.

Hope things are well with everyone, sounds like some exciting times going on. Make sure and help mjb out with RFTT, and I'll check in again when I get a moment...training is a b*tch, putting in about 18-20 hours a day right now.

Gotta go study,

Kev

Just in case you need to use the Internet in Mechanicsburg. The public library in Mechanicsburg will let you use the Internet as long as you have a library card from any library in Pennsylvania. All libraries in PA will do that. Some will even let you use the Internet as a guest for 30 minutes with a PA driver's license.

HISTORY OF THE JOSEPH T. SIMPSON PUBLIC LIBRARY

The stone structure beside the Cumberland Valley Railroad which now houses the Mechanicsburg Area Public Library is believed to have been built as early as 1840 by Thomas B. Bryson. It is listed on an 1867 surveyor's map as a grain warehouse and is listed in the 1872 Cumberland County Atlas as a grain store.

On June 28, 1863, confederate soldiers entered Mechanicsburg and occupied the town for three days. During that time, Brigadier General J.B. Jenkins used the stone grain store as a hospital for his sick and ailing soldiers. When they left Mechanicsburg for Gettysburg on June 30th, they took from the granary ample grain for their horses.

Later, Mr. Bryson sold the stone structure to Abner B. Harnish who operated a business here until he sold the building to Jacob H. Koller. Years later, Mr. Koller sold the property to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Headquarters for an egg business for a time, in most recent years it was owned by the Walton's who operated their Home and Hearth craft store.

The Walton's sold the building to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Wax, Jr., from whom the Mechanicsburg Area Public Library purchased it in April of 1994.
On December 26, 1996, the Mechanicsburg Area Public Library began a new era of providing quality library service to the Mechanicsburg community when the newly renovated building was opened to the public.




P.S. Kevin, Good to hear from you. Good Luck!!

Big Jim, the "there is no library" remark was pretty tongue-in-cheek... but thanks for the history of the library lol
