It might be time to learn more about time. Embark on a journey of discovery about time-keeping devices at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 26, at the Allen Public Library. Beginning with water clocks, incense timepieces, and sun dials, and ending with mechanical clocks from Holland, Germany, France, England, China and America, horology (art or science of measuring time) expert Fred Tischler presents A History of Clocks. Sponsored by Bach to Books and the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors’ Lone Star Chapter 124, this program is free. In addition, throughout April, clocks from different periods that served a myriad of purposes will be displayed in the library’s gallery. Come learn and view how the clocks of your ancestors told time.
