Phyllis Snider of Tilton will sign her book, "More Than a Building," from 3 to 5 p.m. July 9 at the gift shop at Provena United Samaritans Medical Center, Danville. The book tells the history of the buildings, staff, departments and the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart who served at St. Elizabeth Hospital.
