Stories

At PA Humanities, we believe in the power of storytelling to cross barriers and build connections. Explore stories of how PA Humanities teamed up with people and communities around the state to use the humanities as a tool for everything from youth development to community building to lifelong education. These stories show how the humanities are helping to shape Pennsylvania’s future.
The staff at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College transformed the library into a scene from westward expansion when students explored the book, "SeaMan: The Dog who Explored the West with Lewis & Clark" by Gail Karwoski.
In 2006, Pennsylvania Highlands Community College librarian Barb Zaborowski received a seed grant from PA Humanities to expand the One Book, One Community program to include middle school students. Today, the program continues to thrive, serving as a testament to PA Humanities’ enduring dedication to libraries and education.
