Schiavo Library: October Newsletter

Schiavo Library: October Newsletter

    Programs for fall: Community Night: Thursday evenings: 6:00 - 8:00pm. We'll have fun with movies and the Wii games. Watch for announcements of upcoming movie features
     Used Book Sale Our used book sale in September was very successful. We had lots of people stop into the library for the first time and they loved it. We also made $401, which will help buy new books and DVD's. Thanks to everyone for their book donations.
    New Bestsellers: There are a few of our newest books (fiction and nonfiction). Hope you see some that you just HAVE to read:
  • Sizzling Sixteen by Evanovich
  • So Cold the River by Koryta
  • Fly Away Home by Weiner
  • Adam & Eve by Naslund
  • Grand Design by Hawking
  • Outliers: The Story of Success by Gladwell
  • Women, Food and God by Roth

    Display Idea: I think fall would be a great time of year for a decoy display. I have one decorative decoy and one nice bird carving - not enough for a whole showcase. Does anyone have any decoys or bird carvings that they would like to display at the library? Please call me (486-6265) or email the library (info@strathmerelibrary.org) with suggestions. And thanks again to Carol Baker for her wonderful display of bathing beauties for our summer visitors.  
      Attendance in September: We had a great month here at the library. Maybe it was the weather or maybe just our wonderful facility or exciting book sale, but we had 425 people visit the library in September (compared to 284 last year)! What a great accomplishment; couldn't have done it without my assistants, Jessica and Joan, and hard-working volunteer, Marion. Thanks!!
