Rollin’ on the river with the West Pittston Library

Several local residents got their first experience of being on the Susquehanna River rather than driving over it on Saturday, July 10, when the West Pittston Library hosted a kayak trip on the river as a fund raiser. Biologist Dr. Garrett Barr, from King’s College Biology & Environmental Program, hosted the tour along with his wife, Anne Bramlett Barr, librarian. The three-hour trip began at the Harding boat launch and ended in Wyoming.
