I by Jim Gill
R "Here, in the dread tribunal of last resort, valor contended against valor.
E Here brave men struggled and died for the right
C as God gave them to see the right."
T -Adlai E. Stevenson I
O
R One of the best-kept secrets in our community is an organization known
' as the Tuscarawas Valley Civil War Round Table. Founded over 25 years
S ago by Dan Cooley, former Dover Public Library Director, and Jeff
Schrock of Sugarcreek, the Round Table is committed to educating the
N community about the American Civil War through the preservation of Civil War heritage and
through the remembrance of those who struggled for their cause. Ever since Appomattox,
O historians, military tacticians and amateur scholars have been fascinated by the Civil War. The
T Round Table wants you to know that you are welcome! Each month, a different speaker will
E provide an engaging and informative look at a particular aspect of the War Between the States.
S Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM in the library's Community
Room during the months of January-May and September-December. New members are always
welcome, as well as ideas for future presenters and programs. Please don't hesitate to contact me
if you have any suggestions. More books have been written about the American Civil War than
any other event in history, and it is an honor to play a part in the preservation of that story. The
Round Table kicks off on Thursday, September 9 at 6:30 PM and features Steve Ball who will
present "The Music of the Civil War." Hope to see you then!
"Music of the Civil War" Presented by Steve Ball
Thursday, September 9 at 6:30 PM in the Community Room
This program shares some of the most popular tunes of the Civil War from both sides of
the conflict. The music is presented in a chronological format, with the story of each song,
and what is happening in the Civil War at the same time. The program covers some of the
popular patriotic tunes, melancholy ballads of home, and a bit of army humor as well.
Music of the Civil War shares both music and history with insight to both soldiers and
musicians of the period.
Bestow a Book
Our lives are filled with people, moments, and occasions which we wish to
commemorate. Bestow a Book gives you the opportunity to present a gift that
will be opened time and time again as part of the collection of the Dover
Public Library. A book plate inside the cover will share your memory with the
community. Each Bestow a Book title costs $25. Please contact Jim Gill at
330-343-6123 or email at director@doverlibrary.org for more information.

P
R What made you decide to join the Board of Trustees
?
O
of Dover Public Library
I have been a Trustee for more than 20 years. I was
F originally invited to participate because of my affiliation
with WJER Radio. Now that I'm retired they're trying to
I figure out another reason to keep me!
L
E What do you like most about the library ?
It serves all members of our community. Equally. There are many different reasons why
people walk through our doors or visit our website. Director Jim Gill and the talented
individuals who work here are constantly developing new reasons to come to the library.
Both board and staff are part of a team effort to engage and serve our community. Jim Gill
often refers to the library as the new town square for the digital age.
Who are your favorite authors ?
James Lee Burke; Daniel Silva; Peter Robinson; Joe Lansdale; Louise Penny; Michael Connely; Elizabeth George;
John Sandford and of course Linda Castillo. The dedication in Linda's latest book ( Fallen) is a tribute to the
relationship she has with this library and the people of this community. (By the way, Linda will be returning for
an evening at the library on November 4. Come join us. Like all of our programming... it's free!)
What do you do in your spare time ?
Kayaking and hiking; playing with audio electronics.
What would people be surprised to know about you ?
Surprised to know: In the early 70's I dropped out of college and
went hitchhiking with a friend across the western states. Sleeping
bags and fishing poles. Every time we opened a car door, a new
adventure began. When we decided to return home, we were in
Oregon. We became stranded outside a tiny town in the center of
the state. Spent nine hours attempting to get a ride with no
success, slept in a field overnight, and started again the next
Bob Scanlon and Linda Castillo
morning. About noon a car stopped. It was a man going to Yellow
July 2019
Springs, Ohio. It turned out the wait was worth it for the ride.
