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 here.
