Schiavo Library: March Newsletter

Welcome Spring!
Spring is a great time of year to visit the library. We’ve been busy all winter enhancing our collections. We now have CD’s and magazines to borrow. We’re also building a nice collection of LARGE print books.

A Big Thank You!
I need to thank our volunteers, Melissa Brisbin, Donna Diefenderfer, and Dan Weaver, for helping to keep the library open during the snowy days of February!

U.S. Census
Representatives from the U.S. Census will be using our library as a help station during the month of March until April 19th, every Wednesday 10 – 2 pm. Please stop in if you need any information about the census.

Love Your Library Month Raffle Winner: Judy Hollinger

Movie Matinees:
Movie matinees will continue this spring – more title choices are available thanks to donations from all our friends and members. Matinees: Every Wednesday at 1:00 pm.

Showcase Ideas Needed
Do you have any interesting collections, photos of Strathmere, or local artifacts? Our library has two great showcases. Why not share with the community! Call the library with your ideas: (609) 486-6265.

October - Welcome to the new Director of the Schiavo Library, Christine Rohrman.
"October 27th was my first day on the job. I'm a retired elementary school librarian - from Valley Park School Library in Pennsville, New Jersey. My husband and I retired to Wildwood a little over a year ago from West Deptford, NJ. I'm thrilled to be "down the shore" and especially working here in this lovely seaside town and at this beautiful new library.

Please stop in and say hello!"
Christine Rohrman, Director of the Schiavo Library
