Schiavo Library: December 2010 Newsletter

  • Movie Matinees: We will be featuring Christmas Movies on Thursday afternoons at 1:00pm
Join us for a fun holiday experience!


Books for Christmas:
We’ve got a great selection of books for the holidays: books for children, novels of the season, cookbooks and craft books. We also have many holiday VHS tapes for children.

New Arrivals:
Here are some of our newest books:
  • Lisa Scottoline: Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog
  • Laura Hillenbrand: Unbroken (author of Seabiscuit)
  • Bob Woodward: Obama’s Wars
  • Jon Stewart: Earth: A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race
  • Cynthia Keller: An Amish Christmas
  • Bill Bryson : At Home

An Old-fashioned Christmas Display:

We have had to replace the wonderful “Sindia Exhibit” that we’ve enjoyed all year. The Ocean City Historic Society did finally need the artifacts for an exhibition of their own. Our newest display is entitled: An Old-fashioned Christmas and features vintage lights, Christmas tree balls, ornaments, toys, etc. There’s probably something in the case that will remind you of holidays past. Do you remember “bubble lights?”
Strathmere Favorites:
I would like to recommend: The Summer Kitchen by Lisa Wingate. The summer kitchen was just part of the old fading pink house that SandraKaye inherited from her uncle. She thought she’d be better off just selling the place or would she? Her life becomes interestingly woven with characters from that old neighborhood. You’ll enjoy this novel about hope, second chances and new beginnings.

Happy Holidays!

Christine Rohrman, Library Director
