McCord Memorial
Library's 2011 Annual Appeal
Thanks to past support from the North East Community, McCord Library was
able to make several improvements and repairs in 2011. The
McCord Memorial Library Board of
Directors and Staff would like to thank
everyone for that crucial support
as
the annual appeal continues.
McCord Memorial Library works with
individuals, schools, the community and
other libraries to provide programs and
services for the education and
entertainment of our patrons.
However, state funds received by McCord
Memorial Library have decreased by
more than 33%. We are requesting
your support in our 2011-2012 Annual
Appeal. Your tax deductible contribution
will help preserve our programs, hours,
services and materials.
**Many employers match funds donated to McCord
Library. Employees and retirees, please
check with your companies.

Did you know... or do you
remember...
Ephriam Willard…
In 1796, Mr. Ephriam Willard and his wife, Sarah Loomis, came with another
couple from Granville, Connecticut to
settle 2 miles west of what is now North
East. Ephriam built a two-room log house
where in one of the rooms he opened a
school for the children of the nineteen
families in the area. This became the
first school in Erie County and Ephriam
became the first schoolmaster.

by Dick Tefft (in book collection
and available to purchase at McCord
Library $20) and One Hundred Years of
North East, by Admah Irwin Loop.

Book Review:
ShockWave
by John Sandford, “a thrilling new
Virgil Flowers novel.”
The superstore chain PyeMart has its
sights set on a Minnesota river town,
but two very angry groups want to stop
it: local merchants, fearing for their
businesses, and environmentalists,
predicting ecological disaster. The
protests don't seem to be slowing the
project, though, until someone decides
to take matters into his own hands.
The first bomb goes off on the top floor
of PyeMart's headquarters. The second
one explodes at the construction site
itself. The blasts are meant to inflict
maximum damage-and they do. Who's behind
the bombs, and how far will they go?
It's Virgil Flowers's job to find out .
. . before more people get killed.
