January 13, 2009: Philadephia Library Celebrates Edgar Allan Poe Bicentennial
"We rarely see homeless men, business men and school girls gathering for a drink. But this past Saturday, over a hundred people mingled on the main floor of the Central Library, raised Dixie cups of 7-Up, and sang “Happy Birthday” to Edgar Allan Poe. On Saturday afternoon, the Free Library marked the beginning of Philadelphia’s bicentennial commemoration of the author’s life. "
