April 11 – 17th: National Library Week
Since 1958, National Library Week has been observed by the American Library Association (ALA) to encourage the use and appreciation of our libraries. In the mid-1950’s research showed that Americans were spending less on books and more on radios and televisions. The ALA created National Library Week to increase awareness of libraries. Fifty-two years later we’re competing with even more electronic devices, but we still need to protect our libraries. National Library Week at the Schiavo will feature a Book Lovers Trivia Quiz and Raffle. Stop in for details.

New Feature: Strathmere Favorites
We would like to hear from you – tell us about your favorite book (fiction or nonfiction) and why you think someone else would enjoy it. We’ll feature it in upcoming newsletters and have a copy available at the library. What better way to share your love of books! Email us: info@strathmerelibrary.org

Audio Book Collection
Our audio book collection is expanding thanks to donations from patrons, especially Veronica Roash. Thanks and keep listening and sharing!

Relaxing on the beach in Strathmere

Check out the cute little guy/gal who took a break from the blizzard by resting on the beach in Strathmere! I wish that I had been there to see him/her in person. Photo from Gwen and Bruce, who fed the seal some frozen fish. A guy from the marine stranding center checked out the seal and said that it was fine. After it's meal and a rest, it was back on it's way.

Strathmere Snow photos

Here are some photos of Strathmere from 2/7 after the big snow storm. These photos are from - Eric Jankowski - you can see more of his photos on the link.
