On Thursday, Oct. 30, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Henrietta Hankin Branch Library welcomes Professor Jack Nagel, Political Science Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania, for a discussion on the Electoral College. 

He’ll explore its historical challenges and talk more about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact—a state-led effort to align electoral votes with the national popular vote. With 209 of 270 votes pledged, Pennsylvania could be key to its success.

Dr. Nagel is a respected scholar in democratic theory and voting systems, with international research experience and numerous publications. This event is part of the PASEF Speakers Bureau, which brings distinguished Penn faculty to local audiences.

There will be light refreshments and time at the end of the presentation for questions and answers. Registration is required. To register, visit https://ccls.libcal.com/event/15123454 or call the library at 610-344-4196.  Henrietta Hankin Library supports PA Forward Civic and Social Literacy.

The mission of the Chester County and Henrietta Hankin Branch Libraries is to provide informational, educational and cultural services to the residents of Chester County so that they may be lifelong learners. The Henrietta Hankin Branch Library is located at 215 Windgate Drive in Chester Springs.
