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.

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.

Isn’t recycling grand?
