Reading Rescue --
A Monthly Article of
Featured
Selections |
|
Back in 1868 General John Logan designated a day
in May for families to decorate the graves of the Civil War
dead. Over the years, that day has become Memorial Day--the day
we traditionally remember members of the armed services killed
in wartime. It has also become a day to remember family and
friends who are gone. At the library, we like to take some time
to review memorial books we have purchased, to remember the
people being honored, and to thank those who have made donations
in their memories. This month, the Reading Rescuers (no boring
books here!) will take a look at some interesting, informative,
and just plain fun memorial books now on the library shelves.
Read
this month's Reading Rescue article to see our featured selections
for May.
Each month, the Reading Rescuers bring attention to books (and
resources), old and new, that we
think you will enjoy. View the archives
