A piece of twisted, molten metal from the World Trade Center will be unveiled at the library on Sept. 11, along with a special program to commemorate its 15th anniversary.

The program, which is open to the public, will begin at 2 p.m.

There will be several speakers at the unveiling of the remnant, which will be on permanent display at the library.

Members of the Storybook Theatre Group, a teen drama club at Western Pocono Community Library, will sing, as will members of the Zion United Lutheran Church Choir and Youth Group during the program.

The Pleasant Valley Ecumenical Network will collect donations of canned goods for subsequent distribution to those in need.

“9/11 will be remembered not just for the horrific event that it was, but for where we were and what we were doing at that very moment the news came over the airways,” Library Director Carol Kern said. “A memory never to be erased by time. It will be here at Western Pocono Community Library so that future generations will be able to view an actual chunk of twisted, molten metal from the Twin Towers, view photographs and read articles telling of the horrific details of the days and weeks that followed.”

The event is open to the public and free of charge.
