Have you tried a
Playaway yet??
What’s a Playaway?
Playaway is the
simplest way to listen to audios on the
go. Each Playaway comes with the
digital content already self-contained.
Simply plug in earbuds and enjoy. No
CDs. No downloads. Just Play.
Each ultra-portable Playaway weighs only two ounces and comes
packaged with earbuds and a standard AAA
battery to allow for immediate
listening. Additionally, Playaway
has a universal jack that works with
almost any type of headphone and can
also be used in the MP3 plug in your
car.
A Sample of Playaway Titles in
Collection
o Dalai
Lama: Man, Monk, Mystic
o German
for Dummies
o Leaves
of Grass
o Michael
Connelly’s Blood Work
o Bruce
Coville’s Dark Whispers (YA)
o Karen

North East Notable People
Ralph Hartley 1911-1993
Ralph Hartley had a
love for writing since he was a boy,
publishing his first piece in the
Aquilo, North East High School
yearbook. After graduating from Penn
State in 1933, he began writing for the
Breeze. For forty-nine years he
wrote a weekly column, “Old Days in
North East.” He was also published in
the Erie Dispatch, Erie Times, Corry
Evening Journal, Cosmopolite Herald
and Union City Bulletin.
Interested in his community, he set up an insurance agency, started a
Boy Scout troop in 1938, coached a
baseball team, served as a Staff
Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, helped
establish VFW Post 4789, was elected and
served as secretary to the North East
Borough Sewer Authority for twenty years
and served on the North East Cemetery
Association for thirty-one years.
Mr. Hartley was awarded with the Book of Golden Deeds in 1992 for
his lifetime of community service.

Friends of
McCord Library invite new Members to
Join...
The Friends group at McCord has been involved in projects benefiting
North East and Erie County since 1996.
Twice a year the group organizes a used
book and mixed media sale which attracts
a large number of area residents each
March and October. With this sale, the
friends are pleased to add a significant
amount of money to the library’s general
budget.
Members of the community are invited to join this volunteer
organization. The Friends meet at the
library on the first Wednesday of each
month at 11:00 am. Membership is open to
all adults and there are no dues.
For more details call 725-4057 or check out our website:

Free and available to the public…
Haven’t
researched your relatives yet?
It’s as easy as coming into McCord and
signing onto one of our eight public
Internet access computers.
In
June we had a workshop for amateur
genealogists which was very
successful. Those people learned just
how easy it is to navigate
Ancestory.com.
