Who says nothing is free any more? The Friends will be giving - yes, giving - away VHS tapes at this Harrison Rally Day sale!

Way Library's Topical Tuesday lecture series will open on Tuesday, September 21, with a lecture on Peace in Our World by Sr. Sharon Havelak beginning at 7 p.m. on the lower level of the library.

A member of the Sisters of Saint Francis, Sylvania, Sr. Havelak will present stunning statistics on the human and economic cost of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Between 2003 and 2005, the United States' military expenditures ($450 billion) totaled almost as much as the rest of the world's countries combined. What can be done to end war and its tragic legacy? Sr. Havelak explains, "Everything we do to make a better world helps to bring peace."

An artist, educator and long-time peace activist, Sr. Havelak became involved in ecological issues through her work with the Earth Charter. She currently teaches part-time at Lourdes College, serves as Director of All Good Things, overseeing the creative ministries of the Sisters, as well as serves as the coordinator of the Sylvania Franciscans' Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation efforts.
