Many among us will never forget the phrase, “Blowing in the Wind,” Dylan’s defining response to where we can find the answer to the question, “How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?”

For so very many of us, that question is the summary statement of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The Nobel Prize Committee has honored Dylan with the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

In some circles, the award is controversial, but, for many, Dylan’s win is “right on.”

The Public Library of Catasauqua has purchased Dylan’s just published work, “Lyrics 1961-2012.”

Snow White will be at the library 6 p.m. Nov. 7 to visit with children of all ages. Come for a special reading of Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by none other than Blondie’s own Rebecca Zukowski-Gillespie, in costume and in character. She will fill us in on life at the palace with her prince and will happily give her autograph to one and all.

The fun takes place in the library’s spacious upstairs auditorium with plenty of space for everyone.
