Susquehanna County Reads “My Àntonia” was the third year of the one book/one county program, partnering the Susquehanna County Library and the Susquehanna County Literacy Program and funded in part by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Almost 200 people registered and enjoyed a variety of events across the county. The fourth community read will be held next fall, but the committee has developed a short list of books to choose from now. As always, cost is a primary concern, so titles were chosen which have affordable paperback editions, have been recommended, and have varied appeal. The selections are “Bless Me, Ultima” by Rudolfo Anaya; “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury; “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley; “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë; “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair; “The Member of the Wedding” by Carson McCullers; and “The Red Badge of Courage” by Stephen Crane. Descriptions and notes for each book are viewable on the voting page at www.susqcolibrary.org/vote. Don't have a computer? You can use one for free at your local library. Everyone is invited to vote by the deadline of November 18. Results will be announced in early December.
Veterans Day 2009 Commentary As you read this, there are men and women deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq becoming the nation’s newest generation of war veterans. They come from the active branches of our full-time military as well as National Guard and Reserve units - modern day patriots defending freedom. The stories about their dedication should impress you. Seriously wounded soldiers sent stateside to recover want to return to the battlefield to support their comrades. Troops already in a combat theater are reenlisting to keep up the fight against terrorism. Brave soldiers enter burning military vehicles to get their squad mates out. Some paid the ultimate sacrifice by exposing themselves to danger to help prevent other deaths. We also have had troops serving in danger zones outside of Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the War on Terror and U.N. peacekeeping missions. These deployed troops are backed up by outstanding veterans serving in uniform today at home. They may not be on deployment now (some have already been overseas several times), but their resolve to carry out their mission if called upon is strong. Today’s military force is a continuation of Pennsylvania’s proud tradition of fighting hard for what is right and good. No other state has a finer military success story to tell about its men and women. Without their service, your life would be completely different today - and not for the better! We can only imagine. On Veterans Day please do something to show your appreciation, respect and support for them.
