Visitors to Marion Library in Newark, N.Y. were treated to several educational programs presented by members of the Barony of Thescorre in AEthelmearc.

The programs were part of the library's Summer Reading Club program: Books: a Treasure and offered children a chance to learn about the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. One program, held July 21, 2006, let attendees ask questions of "a courtly lady, a Mongol warrior, a wealthy lady from Mongolia, a lady from Ireland, the owner of a tavern and a Viking family." The presenters answered the questions in persona. Another program featured dancing and drumming.
