For 60 years, Ellis Island operated as a federal immigration station for millions
of newly arrived immigrants. The island was the first point of contact on
American soil for immigrants from 1892 until its closure in 1954. It has been
estimated that close to 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least
one of their ancestors to Ellis Island.
This event at the libraries is open to anyone who would like to experience life
as an immigrant in the early 20th century. It’s these immigrants who helped
transform the United States into what it is today – a melting pot of tradition,
language and cultures. Libraries Remember will inspire a renewed sense of
tolerance, freedom and hope in our communities today.
Additional programs will be scheduled throughout the grant year.
Adult patrons who attend these events will earn a bus trip to
Chicago in June 2012. Attend our Ellis Island event for further details.

Tales to Share
Matthew and the Bullies
Written by Sarah, Duchess of York
Matthew goes to school every day sick to his
stomach. His schoolwork is okay but the bullies
on the playground make him nervous. Pick up this book for a
chance to read about Matthew and how he finds the courage
to stop John and Daniel from bullying him and other kids.
Matthew teaches us that bullying is never okay and that help
is always there if we need it.

Rocket Boys
Written by Homer Hickham Jr.
~Staff pick and review by Nancy Schaff,
NCPL Central Librarian
A story of the life and times of aerospace engineer Homer Hickman Jr. and his friends in Big Creek, West Virginia.
It is an entertaining biography of a boy and his friends growing up during the early 1960’s when President Kennedy
inspired many young men to become involved in the race for space exploration. Homer’s true exploits into rocket design and testing are remarkable. The half-dozen boys are experimenting with few resources and lots of nerve. Told
from a boy’s perspective with the usual trials of teenage youths looking for excitement, romance, and a promise for
their future careers.
