 Create Your Own World 
Using Styrofoam globes and a rainbow of crafting supplies, kids and teens will build a 3D version of their ideal world. What will yours look like—underwater cities, candy mountains, floating forests? 
Schlimm shared, “This library has done a tremendous job of transforming itself into a welcoming, community-based space for all ages where open minds, dreaming, creativity, learning, and fun always have seats at the table.”

Ham & Cheese Sandwich Fundraiser

The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is excited to launch a brand- new fundraiser this summer—and it’s serving up a whole lot of hometown flavor!

 Introducing the first-ever Ham & Cheese Sandwich Fundraiser, inspired by none other than the legendary creations of Mrs. Strycula, a beloved former teacher whose sandwiches are still fondly remembered by her former students.

 From July 14 through August 1, community members can preorder one of these classic ham and cheese sandwiches—stacked on a fresh Kaiser roll with mustard and served with a bag of Lay’s chips—for just $6. Sandwiches will be ready for pickup on Friday, August 15 from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM at the library.

 Local businesses are invited to join in by requesting a group signup sheet and enjoying free delivery to their location on the day of the event. 

To place an order or arrange delivery, patrons can call the library at 814-486-8011, visit the library’s Facebook page, or their website at  https://barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org.

 “We’re so excited to bring this new fundraiser to the community, especially one that taps into such a warm, nostalgic connection,” said Librarian, Yelena Kisler. “Mrs. Strycula’s sandwiches were legendary among her students, and now everyone has a chance to enjoy them—while supporting the library!” 

Special thanks go out to fundraiser organizers Connie Garrigan and Barb Palumbo for making this event possible, and to Emporium Food Mart for generously providing all the ingredients. 

The library is also seeking volunteers to help make and pack sandwiches on the morning of pickup. Anyone interested in helping out can contact the library directly. 

All proceeds from this tasty fundraiser will help support the library’s growing lineup of community programs and events. 

For more information or to get involved, please contact the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library at 814-486-8011.

Introducing July 2025- CamCo Book Club!

Introducing July 2025- CamCo Book Club! 
 Passion Project by London Sperry 

 “If your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life, Bennet Taylor is failing miserably . . . with a big emphasis on the miserable. Where’s that zest she keeps hearing about? She’s a temp worker in New York City with no direction, no future, and no social life. And at the painful center of this listlessness is grief over the death of her first love.

 When Bennet runs into Henry Adams just hours after standing him up for a first date, she makes an alcohol-fueled confession: She’s not ready to date. In fact, it’s been years since she felt passion for something. Not even pottery, or organized sports—not anything. Rather than leaving her to ruminate, Henry jumps at the opportunity for adventure: Bennet needs to find a passion for life, and Henry will help her find it. Every Saturday, they’ll try something new in New York City. As friends, of course. 

As their “passion project” continues, the pair tackle everything from carpentry to tattooing to rappelling off skyscrapers, and Bennet feels her guarded exterior ebbing away. But as secrets surface, Bennet has to decide what she wants, and if she’s truly ready to move on. With emotional resonance and sparkling banter, Passion Project is a fun, flirty, thoughtful story of finding a spark—and igniting happiness.”

Eva J. Wilson Meisel

Eva J. Wilson Meisel, 72, of St. Marys, PA, formerly of Emporium and Betula, PA, passed away peacefully on Friday (June 27, 2025) at Transitions Healthcare in Washington, PA with her loving family and dear friends continually by her side, after a long and truly courageous battle with multiple system atrophy.

Born January 6, 1953, in Driftwood, PA, Eva was the daughter of the late Mila Wilson. She graduated from Cameron County High School with the Class of 1970. On December 22, 2001, in Ireland a place as vibrant and spirited as she was she married the love of her life, the late William “Bill” Meisel.

Eva’s work ethic and warmth touched many throughout her career. She spent many years at Coppersmith’s Furniture Store and Emporium Hardwoods, and later retired from CAPSEA, where her compassion and dedication made a difference in many lives. Throughout her life, Eva was active in numerous social organizations and was a cherished member of several tight-knit circles.

Eva will be remembered most for her radiant smile, infectious laugh, and boundless energy. Even through the challenges of illness, she never lost her spark. She found joy in traveling, often alongside her beloved high school friends, her St. Marys companions “The Daisys,” or her devoted companion, Mike Vida. But her happiest moments were always those spent surrounded by her family, especially her cherished grandchildren.

She is survived by her son, Richard Lewis; daughter, Laura Caton (Seth); and her grandchildren: Reese Ezra, Eleanora, and Brooks Caton. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Amity Meisel, Amanda Wiegand (Jared), and Chip Meisel; her sisters, Debbie Priest and Karla Lardner (Paul); her companion, Mike Vida; and Mike’s caring sister, Judy Vida.

In addition to her mother and husband, Eva was preceded in death by her sister, Wanda Wilson.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance at Barnett Funeral Home, 207 E. 4th St., Emporium, PA, on Saturday (July 12, 2025). Visitation will be held from 11:00 to 11:45 AM, followed by a service at 12:00 PM, officiated by Rev. Paul S. Siebert. Burial will be in the St. Marys Catholic Cemetery, St. Marys, PA.

Following the service there will be a celebration of life gathering at 311 Howard Circle, Emporium.

Online condolences may be placed at www.BarnettFuneralHome.net.

Arrangements are under the care of Barnett Funeral Home, Inc.
