Trivia event focuses on knowledge of U.S. history, celebrates Constitution Day
Constitution Day celebration at Penn State York small but informative
Penn State York celebrated Constitution Day with a trivia contest led by Barbara Eshbach, head librarian at the Lee R. Glatfelter Library on campus. The crowd was small but the group had fun, and learned a few things too!

Congratulations to Valerie Carrington, a Penn State York student majoring in English and winner of our Penn State bucket of prizes, including 2 pairs of patriotic socks and a $10.oo gift card to Starbucks!
And . . . congratulations to Katherine Summers, our first winner of an IDEA!
This will be our fourth annual Constitution Day Trivia contest! Using clickers and questions from the civic portion of the U.S. Naturalization test, we challenge our students to beat the national pass rate (currently 91%).
Thinking about studying before the event? Here are all the possible questions (and answers)!

Constitution Day booklets provided by PA State Representative Carol Hill-Evans
Also, for the first time, we posted a sign on the library door, with a different question each day. The first Penn State York student to come to the circulation desk with the correct answer won a Constitution booklet with a Penn State University Libraries’ flash drive, Sharpie, and highlighter.
