It usually takes more than half a year for individuals to complete an Appalachian Trail experience. Local families will need just a weekend for the same thanks to State College Area School District librarians.
On Saturday and Sunday, the library department will hold “State to State: Hike the Appalachian Trail Across SCASD,” part of this year’s
SCASD Reads (#ScasdREADS) campaign, “Read It, Walk It, SCASD Libraries on the Trail.” The campaign this spring has featured the books “Grandma Gatewood’s Walk,” an account of Emma Gatewood’s historic solo AT hike as a 67-year-old grandmother in 1955, for State High students; “The Unlikely Thru-Hiker,” Derick Lugo’s memoir about traversing the trail as a novice African-American hiker from Brooklyn, for middle school students; and “Grandma Gatewood Hikes the Appalachian Trail,” a children’s book read to elementary students on May 3, the date Gatewood began the first of her three AT hikes.
With all Pennsylvania residents age 16 and older eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Centre Volunteers in Medicine and Mount Nittany Health are both encouraging community members to sign up for vaccination appointments at their clinics.
Vaccines are administered at no cost and individuals do not need to be current patients of CVIM or Mount Nittany to schedule appointments. Anyone 16 or older can register.
CVIM will offer the Pfizer vaccine at a clinic scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at Mount Nittany Middle School. Another clinic is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at Mount Nittany Middle School.

Centre Volunteers in Medicine hosted one of Centre County’s first COVID-19 mass vaccination clinics Saturday, vaccinating about 1,200 people at Mount Nittany Middle School.
Pamela Moeng was one of them. Moeng works at Park Forest Middle School and said she tried to sign up for vaccination appointments with multiple providers before she was finally scheduled by CVIM.
She joked when it was time for the shot. “I wish it was a shot of tequila, because I’ve watched the news and seen the size of the needle,” she said. “But I’m okay.”
Moeng said getting vaccinated was a great relief and gave her hope that she may see her family in person soon.
