"It was probably my 5th year of teaching, it was a normal day until a kid in the library started to have a seizure. This was the first time anything like this happened, nobody knew what to do, all of our knowledge about safety led up to this moment and we were all too shocked to do anything. We ended up calling an ambulance and everything ended up being alright."

This month's library display explores the various roles of women in the American Revolutionary War and highlights the contributions of several specific women. Women played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War. Some did fight on the battlefield! Others contributed by serving as nurses, cooks, laundresses, water bearers and seamstresses for the Continental Army. Camp followers included women who, wishing to be by their husband's side, followed them on their campaigns and helped keep army camps running smoothly. On the home front women raised money to support the war effort. They also utilized their skills in spinning, weaving, and sewing to assist the revolutionary cause.

A Carnegie library is a library built with money donated by Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. More than 2,500 Carnegie libraries were built, including some belonging to public and university library systems.
Of the 2,509 such libraries funded between 1883 and 1929, 1,689 were built in the United States, 660 in Britain and Ireland, 125 in Canada, and others in Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, the Caribbean, and Fiji. Very few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused. When the last grant was made in 1919, there were 3,500 libraries in the United States, nearly half of them built with construction grants paid by Carnegie.

The library was on the eastern side where rolls of papyrus"books" were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls.
