You’re Invited to the "A Century of Knowledge" Celebration
The Gertrude Kistler Memorial Library at Rosemont College has been the heart of learning, discovery, and community connection for 100 years. On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, we’re throwing open the doors to celebrate this milestone with friends, neighbors, alumni, students, and book lovers across the Philadelphia suburbs.
If you’ve ever stepped through the library’s historic doors, admired its timeless architecture, or lost yourself in its rare collections, this is your invitation to come home.
Join Us for an Afternoon of Reflection & Discovery
We’ll honor a full century of knowledge through guided stories of the library’s rich history, its striking architecture, beloved literary traditions, and the one of a kind treasures housed within the Gertrude Kistler Memorial Library. Refreshments and light fare will be served as we gather in celebration—think warm conversations, inspiring moments, and a shared sense of pride in this campus landmark.
