REMARKABLE CIVIL WAR

WOMEN YOU NEVER KNEW

We’ve heard of Harriet Tubman and Clara Barton,

obscure women each did

something noteworthy during

the Civil War.

nections will wear 1860’s attire as she shares fasci-

nating stories of forgotten women.

Twenty-five years after their divorce,

MOBILE LIBRARY SCHEDULE

Our libraries are among the last, if only, public places

where a person can go to linger, relax, use, enjoy,

explore, or just escape daily demands for a while and

take refuge – all for free, no questions asked.

Don’t even need a library card.

Our libraries aren’t just about checking out books. They

have wisely evolved as places to go and be and do.

When was the last time that you put together a jigsaw

puzzle? Pretty daunting, time-consuming and it

consumes the dining room table for too long. But at the

library there’s usually a puzzle-in-progress that you can

puzzle over for a while. There are board games to play.

Wander over to the periodicals – that stuffy old name for

magazines and newspapers. What a selection, just

begging to be paged through! If The New Yorker or The

Nation are too-heavy reading, right next to them is MAD

magazine. Seriously. When was the last time you

laughed your way through an issue of MAD?

So escape the insanity of daily reality and enjoy your

library, where you can sink into a cushy chair and ask

yourself, “What, me worry?”

(This plug is written and approved by The Friends of the

Library. Pick up a Friends brochure at the circulation

desk and join for as little as $5.)
