James V. Brown
Library
Mentalist Terry G. Smith will return to the James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., with a completely new show. Smith presented a locked strongbox to the James V. Brown Library July 5. The box contains his prediction of the headlines of the Williamsport Sun-Gazette for Friday, Aug. 5 and will be opened and read as the grand finale of Smith's First Friday program at the library on that date. Smith has entertained audiences in the area for more than 30 years with his program, "The World of E.S.P.," which combines elements of telepathy, prediction and precognition.

Gustonian Gifts
The featured musician for Gustonian Gifts will be Isaiah Britton. Specializing in on-the-spot improvisational tunes and covers of his many influences, guitarist Isaiah Britton enjoys surprising himself and listeners with the unique direction that each of his performances takes. Though performing solo, Britton can utilize live-looping for a rich, multi-layered guitar experience simulating accompanied renditions. From acoustic tracks approaching background music to in-your-face rock 'n' roll, Britton and his guitar are able to capture any mood and captivate the listener accordingly.
The featured artist will be Paul J. Clacher, who will show pencil and watercolor original portraits of people, pets and landscapes.
