Schiavo Library: January 2011 Newsletter
January Events:
Movie Matinees: Featuring oldies but goodies on Thursday afternoons at 1:00pm
Jan. 6: Calendar Girls
Jan. 13: Grumpy Old Men
Jan. 20: 9 to 5
Jan. 27: Seabiscuit
Food Bank Collection:
We will be collecting nonperishable food goods for our local food bank. A box will be located in the library during the month of January. Stop in and contribute!
New Display Idea:
For the next display I’d like to feature authors that we’ve met. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to meet many interesting authors, including Michener in New Hope (back in the 70’s) and Dick Francis at a Cherry Hill book signing. A few years ago while on vacation in Maine we attended a book signing at a charming little bookshop on the coast and met mystery writer Katherine Hall Page. Her latest mystery, Body in the Sleigh, has been dedicated to “librarians everywhere” and she has a wonderful article about the importance of librarians and libraries on her website: http://www.katherine-hall-page.org/
Let me know if you have a favorite “author story;” we’d love to include it in our display.
Recent Photos from the Library:
We would like to thank all our patrons and friends for their generous donations throughout the year. Remember – you make this a great library!
Happy New Year from everyone at the Schiavo Library!

Hopefully you made it to the Christmas Party - it was another great one! Attendance was down slightly because of some conflicts and illness but the food was wonderful and a great time was had by all!
Here are the pictures:
Great food and lots of it!
Greg bartends...
Eddie ladles out his super soup!
Here your intrepid photographer must apologize for not capturing a picture of our amazing chef, Ed Tettemer.
Dinner pictures...
Then Santa arrives!
Coming prepared with a list for Santa!
Many thanks to Santa and his Elves!
Thanks also to the Fire Company and the rest of the volunteers who made it such a tasty and fun night!
And thanks to all for your continued support of the Strathmere Improvement Association!

Schiavo Library: December 2010 Newsletter
December Event:
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:
An Old-fashioned Christmas Display:
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!
- December 4th 1:00pm: Tree trimming party at the library! Come for the fun and refreshments!
- Movie Matinees: We will be featuring Christmas Movies on Thursday afternoons at 1:00pm

- 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

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?”

Thanks for your help - and we'll see you all on December 11!
*************************************************************
As you are aware, the Holiday Season this year will be especially tough for many who have been adversely affected by the economy.
The Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club (SFEC) is having a food drive this Saturday, with donations going to the Community Food Pantry at the Church of the Resurrection in Marmora. If you can donate, please bring non-perishable food items or make a cash donation (make checks out to SFEC - notation: Food Pantry) to the firehouse on Dec. 4th between 2pm and 4pm. Some donation suggestions are: cereal, juice, coffee, pancake mix, syrup, catsup, mustard, mayonaisse, canned fruit, tuna, canned meat, paper towels, dish detergent, personal hygiene items, bar soap or deodorant (all non-perishable items are welcome).

November, 2010 vs. November, 2009
We had a little high water from a storm offshore two weeks ago. These two pictures were both taken on November 12, 2010:
Now contrast those pictures with this one from November 12, 2009 (same day last year)! What a difference one year and a foot or two make!
Unfortunately, the storm(s) have cost us some beach. You can see the erosion in these pictures taken this morning:
But the good news is, the Township had Department of Corrections inmates install snow (dune) fencing from almost to Sea Isle, north to Winthrop:
And if you haven't noticed, the bridge over the Strathmere Bay is now toll-free until next Spring!
*****************************************************************************
Thanks to all for your continuing support! If you never got around to paying your 2010 dues, please take the time to send a check ($10 per adult family member) to SIA at PO Box 57, Strathmere 08248.
It's not deductible, but it will be a big help with our projects like the Christmas party and the Fourth of July parade. We don't dun you individually - we just hope you'll respond to our newsletters.
