Shannon Suggests - A LONG WAY GONE: MEMOIRS OF A BOY SOLDIER by Ishmael Beah

A LONG WAY GONE has been called “one of the most important war stories of our generation.” This memoir is beautifully written about an unforgettable war and the children who were forced to fight it. Now Twenty-six year-old Ishmael Beah describes the unimaginable in calm, accessible language.

The first hand account of the plight of a young boy in Sierra Leone forced to wield an AK-47 as a drugged-up child soldier after rebels attacked his family and village is haunting. At the age of twelve, he fled the attacking rebels and wandered the African bush that had been rendered unrecognizable by

Gingerbread Family Night

Gingerbread Family Night 2009

Fifty-three gingerbread houses walked out of the Seneca East Public Library last Thursday, leaving a trail of icing and gumdrops behind. December 17th we held our “back by popular demand!” Gingerbread House Family Night Workshop and it was sensational! We provided the icing and a cardboard base and the families brought candy and graham crackers to decorate their houses. Holiday music played as kids and parents alike adorned their miniature sugar-coated dwellings. Santa himself couldn’t have done a better job! A picture was taken of each child with their house. A copy will be emailed to the family or can be picked up at the library. Thanks to everyone who donated their time, money, candy, or icing to make this year another success!

Reverse Raffle

11th Annual Reverse Raffle - Success!

The 11th annual Seneca East Public Library Reverse Raffle, Auction, and Dinner was held on Saturday, September 12th. We served over 350 meals and heard many positive comments on how delicious it all was. The Attica Lion's Club does make the very best chicken and pork chops and we would like to publicly thank them for all of their hard work and donations to the library!

 

In addition to the meal, we also had success at the auction which brought in over $5,000! The library wasn't the only winner of the night, however. Ilene Bogner won the 50/50 drawing which was worth $243. The $500 grand prize winners were Don and Lynn Miller.

Summer Reading Program Update

Be Creative in the Kitchen!

Preschool Story Time.  June 30th and July 1st our little chefs-in-training enjoyed cooking stories such as A Cake All For Me and I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato and songs like Peanut Butter and Jelly!   Once their "training" was over they made super cool chef's hats to wear.  Then the kids chose from a variety of cereals, dried fruit, nuts, candies, etc. to create their own culinary masterpiece (Trail Mix) to enjoy at the library or at home!
