It was Saturday – a Saturday like any other. I was swimming along the bottom of the tank.
You know, just sucking on some rocks and waiting patiently for my algae disk. The lights
blinked a couple of times, and then came on. I was sneaking closer to the front of the tank
when I saw it. My human was there, just like every other day. But today, she was looking
quite different. She had fuzzy green boppers on her head! What was going on here? I
thought frantically as I swam behind the log, and peeked out at her again. They know I don’t
like change! And that’s when it occurred to me. It’s that time of year again.
My name is Sucky. And I am the friendly neighbourhood Plecostomus here at McConnell
Library. (Errr, Algae eater for those of you who are not fish….or fish enthusiasts). And I
want to tell you all about the Summer Reading Program (SRP). The theme this year is Laugh
Out Loud, so all of our staff members here in Sydney wore their silliest outfits, and greeted
the crowds of young readers coming in to register on Saturday, June 14th.
There were clown wigs, and green boppers and painted faces everywhere! There was even
a bright green pair of pajamas, with matching fuzzy slippers. And, of course, Bev the clown
was here waiting to sign people up, and when she was giving a last minute pep talk to the
students about how to register the children-- well that one would even make me smile…..if I
could.
There were young readers everywhere! Every once and a while, someone would stop by
our tank and say hello. I was feeling pretty happy, so I entertained them by lurking along the
bottom, and then wiggling my way back to the top, and sucking on the roof of our little

ceramic house. All the other fish were
there as well- the goldfish, the corys and
the tetras. We had a hushed
conversation about what was
happening, and we all tried to guess
how many children had actually signed
up for the program. There were so
many people around! After all it was the
launch for the SRP, and the book sale
was still happening, and there was a
story telling program taking place on our
side as well!
In the end, I learned that the total
number of sign ups for that first day at
McConnell was 71. That is not a bad
start! Since then we have had many
more join, and are currently up to 274 in
the Sydney branch alone--but we want
to keep going!
Please encourage any school-aged
children you know to come in and join.
Anyone who has completed one full
year of school, and who has his or her
own current library card is able to join.
And I want to tell everyone that if you
don’t have a library card, just come on in
with a parent or guardian and sign up for
one today!
The SRP is a great way to have fun and
keep your reading skills sharp over the
summer. Everyone who reads 8 books
will be invited to the party at the end,
and will receive a super cool prize.
There are also stickers, posters and fun
days, as well as a draw for your chance
to name (and win) the SRP mascot.
So kids, drop by any of our local
libraries to register, and be sure to tell
them Sucky sent you!

What should I Read Next?
What should I read next? This is the
question that strikes fear in the hearts of
library staff everywhere. The short
answer to that question is “well, it
depends.”
Taste in books is a subjective concept,
so it is difficult to predict what books
patrons will enjoy. However, the task of
readers advisory becomes much easier
when a patron can identify a particular
genre that he or she enjoys.
In this article I will try to tackle my
favorite genre, the mystery or
crime/legal thriller genre. I will identify
some of my favorite authors in this
genre and include a very brief
description of their style. Hopefully you
will find at least one new author that you
will enjoy.
Barbara Cleverly
She offers a classic whodunit style set in
1920s India. The intricate historical
setting coupled with the twists and turns
of great mystery writing make her a
favorite. Her books are good clean fun!
Clive Cussler
Although his books are more adventure
than mystery, I still include him with this
group of authors. If you are looking for
an adventure/mystery book with a
nautical twist, then Clive Cussler is your
man!
Janet Evanovich
If you are looking for a crime thriller that
includes a side of romance and a
healthy dose of women taking charge,
then Janet Evanovich is your author.
John Grisham
For me, he is the undisputed champion
of the legal thriller. He covers everything
from murder to jury tampering and
everything in between. You can’t go
wrong with one of his books.
P.D. James
She is one of the most famous mystery
writers and is certainly my favorite
by Rebecca Boulter
author. Her whodunits can really keep
you guessing until the last minute. Treat
yourself to any one of her delightful
books.
Faye Kellerman
Her character Lt. Peter Decker, a police
officer who has married into an orthodox
Jewish family, puts a new spin on the
commonplace crime novel. In her books
the family life of Peter Decker is just as
important as the crimes he investigates.
Johnathan Kellerman
Through the eyes of his favourite
character, psychologist Alex Deleware
Kellerman brings a focused attention to
the psychology of the crime to his
writing.
Kathy Reichs
She focuses on the forensic aspects of
crime, more specifically on the bones of
murder victims. Her writing can be
graphic at times, but her attention to
detail and ability to tell a great story
makes her an excellent choice.

Donnie Ward Retires
Page 4 of 12
by Theresa MacDonald
Also in attendance were colleagues
from CBU and many patrons and
friends--all there to wish Donnie a
healthy and prosperous retirement.
The good old days were also the
topic of conversation as
presentations were made at
Donnie’s Retirement Dinner at
Mescalero’s.
Left to Right: Ian MacIntosh, Donnie Ward,
and Faye MacDougall
Our staff in-services, Christmas parties,
and everyday routine just will not be the
same without Donnie Ward, who retired
after 34 years of service at the Cape
Breton Regional Library. His presence
added to any occasion, and although we
are all happy for him as he begins this
new stage in his life, we are sad to see
him leave our little circle.
Donnie Ward was honored in grand
style. In addition to the public openhouse on April 25th, the staff held a
dinner in his honour on Monday, May
12, 2008 at Mescalero’s, Membertou
Trade and Convention Center.
The Open House was an informal
occasion for friends, colleagues and
patrons to wish Donnie well. Over
sandwiches and sweets memories
flowed as staff, both past and present,
took the occasion to reminisce over the
good old days.
As she presented a retirement gift
on behalf of the Board, Faye
MacDougall spoke of her
experiences working at McConnell
with Donnie in the early days. We
all had a good laugh as
comparisons were made between
Wednesdays of old and the duties
expected on a typical Wednesday in
2008. In the past, desk polishing
was a weekly duty.
Faye thanked Donnie for his many
years of dedicated service and
noted his many contributions to the
Cape Breton Regional Library,
especially his contributions to
McConnell’s local history collection.
An original watercolour by Lynda
Lou MacIntyre depicting the
Gardens at Petersfield was
presented to Donnie and was
greatly appreciated. Donnie was
visibly moved by its beauty and by
the obvious thought that went into
making the selection.
All the Best to Donnie and we thank
him for his friendship over the years,
and yes, now that he is in his
retirement years, it is all about him!
We hope he will drop in to see us
often.

Grading Day at the North Sydney Library
by North Sydney Staff
The Wilfred Oram Centennial Library was the place to be in North
Sydney on June 27. With Zac Targett's hard work, and the assistance of the Recreation Department's summer interns, over 55
children ended their school year
with fun & games - literally! Stations were set up around the library where they made a craft,
played some unusual games, colored, had their face and/or hands
painted, enjoyed cake & pop, and
watched some short movies. They
also had their picture taken with
the Summer Reading Program
Mascot and entered the contest to
TEENS! Join the Teen
Summer Reading Club!
name him. It was a busy morning
that passed too quickly. One
young boy told Zac, "I never knew
the library could be Fun!" Even
the parents who accompanied
their children were pleased with
the activities. Perhaps this will become an annual event!
New Library User
Rainy days are often a good
reason to come to the Library.
Today the rain brought a first time
Library card user to the Wilfred
Oram centennial library. Four year
old Samantha Pendergast and her
Mom visited us in order to get
some rainy day reading material.
Samantha was excited to use her
very own card to borrow books.
You can see from her smile that
this was important to her. I know
we’ll be seeing lots of Samantha
from now on.

The Joy of Graphic Novels
When I was a little girl visiting the library, there was
at least one kind of reading material I did
NOT find on the library
shelves. I could take out
novels, science books,
kids’ magazines, even
records, but I could not
take out a comic book.
They simply did not exist
in the library, and I’m
sure the librarian would
have gently discouraged
me from reading such
low-grade stuff. So why
is it that, nowadays, you
can wander into most libraries and find a growing
selection of “graphic novels” - which are essentially
a book-format cousin to
the comics?
Graphic novels have become something of a
craze in library circles.
Described as “sequential
art combined with dialogue and transitional text
used to tell a story,”
graphic novels are recognized as a legitimate art
form and are considered a
valuable tool for developing “visual literacy.” There
is an increasing understanding that people learn
and process information in
a variety of ways. While
some brains relate well to
linear chains of written
language (like the sentences you’re reading
now), other brains relate
better to information that’s
visually depicted (like
charts, graphs, and pictures.) Graphic novels
combine text and
graphics to tell a story or convey information, in a format
that may be better suited to
visual learners.
And best of all, graphic novels are not just “kids’ stuff.”
In fact, the majority of graphic
novels are written for adults which is why you’ll find the
adult graphic novels shelved
separately from
the children’s graphic novels.
Parents should be aware that
graphic novels labeled “AGN”
are adult materials, and may
not be suitable for young children.
Of course, the Cape Breton
Regional Library has plenty of
great titles for children and
young adults, too. Despite
the name “graphic novel,”
these books are often not
novels at all. In the CBRL
collection, for example, we
have a graphic travelogue of
an animator’s trip to China, a
graphic biography of Mohammad Ali, a graphic text describing (in detail) the biology
of a bee colony, and a graphic journal that includes personal reflection and poetry.
And yes, some graphic novels are book-length collections of comic-book hero adventures, with lots of Pow,
Zowie, and Whammo action.
There’s also a sub-section of
graphic novel called “manga”
which is basically a comicbook version of Japanese animation. (Think super-heroes
with big, “Sailor-Moon” eyes).
So, what is the literary value
of the graphic novel? Well,
at its most basic level, the
art form is just plain fun.
On a more serious level,
graphic novels have been
used to assist emerging
readers, and to encourage
reluctant readers. Because
graphic novels cover every
possible genre, they can be
used to bridge readers into
a wide range of subjects.
Graphic novels also build
“visual literacy” - the ability
to derive meaning from
images, which is an
increasingly useful skill in
our visually-oriented world.
Having spent some time
recently reading through
our graphic novel collection,
I was surprised to discover
how much concentration I
needed to make sense of
the story lines, because so
much information was being
conveyed visually. I do
really well with those long
strings of words... but
pictures make my brain
work much harder. Finally,
from an artistic perspective,
graphic novels introduce
readers to a wide array of
drawing styles, some of
which are truly beautiful.
So next time you’re at the library, why not try something different. Feel free ask for a comic book!

Sydney Mines Helps Out Library
It started with a phone call
from Clare MacKillop, telling
us that a donation for
shelving in our program room
had been presented to the
Cape Breton Regional Library
from a local patron. We were
given the task of finding such
a unit. For safety reasons,
the unit could not be too high,
yet it had to be large enough
to shelve our seasonal
material as well as our
overflow books. Selection of
preconstructed units was very
limited, which led to a second
phone call seeking out the
assistance of the carpentry
students of Memorial High
School in Sydney Mines. Mr.
Arno Raymakers, Instructor at
Memorial High, made a visit
to the library to take
measurements and
determined an eight foot
shelving unit would be
required. It was also
determined that more
material was necessary than
than the donation afforded. A
third phone call was placed to
Rob Smith, owner of Dona /
DonRay Lumber, who
generously agreed to cover any
costs over and above that of
the donation. The unit was built
in a matter of days and after a
few coats of paint, it now
adorns our program room.
Once our programs begin again
in the fall and the room is being
used regularly, we hope the
books will also be part of our
regular collection since they will
be visible and accessible to the
children. It is said “charity
begins at home” and we would
like to thank our home town for
being so generous with their
funds, time and skills; it is most
certainly appreciated by the
staff and patrons of the Sydney
Mines branch of the Cape
Breton Regional Library. If you
would like to view the shelf, just
ask, we’ll be glad to open the
program room and show it off!!

Creating a Book to represent the flag

this spring was a big
hit! The theme was
Health and Wellness,
with emphasis on the
Wellness. Our
speakers covered topics
ranging from nutrition
and gourmet food on a
budget, pass times such
as travel, gardening, bird
watching and hobbies
that keep us sane, to care
