A word from the editor I am sad to announce that Jodi Stockton has recently resigned from her position as Manager of the Children's Department. Jodi has been a library employee for over 15 years, initially as a part-time employee in the Adult Department. After 5 years, Jodi joined the Children's Department as Manager. For those of us who have worked with Jodi for many years, we have memories of Halloween Spooktaculars, Christmas programs with Santa and Rudolph, American Girl programs and numerous Summer Reading kick-offs. Jodi always made work fun, for her staff as well as the children we serve. She is relocating to Michigan and has accepted a position as a Library Director. Jodi will be missed by all of us at DPL as well as the Danville community. We wish her and her family all the best!

This month we must also say goodbye to staff member, Farah Ah-med. Farah only recently joined our Adult Department staff and we are sorry to see her leave. She will be starting law school next month and we wish Farah success and happiness in this new chap-ter of her life. We are fortunate that Farah will return one Sunday each month to lead a classic literature club.

Joining our Adult staff is Megan Edwards. Born and raised in Danville, Megan is an avid reader and cat lover. Megan had previ-ously been employed at Danville Community schools for 5 years. She is very excited to work at Danville Public Library. Welcome, Megan!

A Book and a Meal

For much of her life, Anne Morrow, the shy

daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Mexico has

stood in the shadows of those around her. When

she travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with

her family, she met Colonel Charles Lindbergh

fresh off his celebrated solo flight across the

Atlantic. Drawing on the rich history of the 20th

century and featuring cameos from such notable

characters as Joseph Kennedy and Amelia

Earhart, The Aviator’s Wife is a vividly imagined

novel of a complicated marriage—-revealing both

its dizzying highs and its devastating lows. With

stunning power and grace, Melanie Benjamin pro-

vides new insight into what made this remarkable

relationship endure.

Wanted: Information on Schools in Hendricks County

The Hendricks County Museum and the

Indiana Room will be working on a project to

gather information about the Hendricks County

schools.

We do not want to lose the history of the

schools that our parents, grandparents, and

great-grandparents attended.

We need names of the schools in some town-

ships. Please contact us if you know the names

and locations of the schools or know someone

with that knowledge.

Stories of school events and stories about

what happened to the individual school build-

ings are appreciated.

The consolidations of the schools through

the years caused records to be misplaced, lost,

or discarded. In some cases high school class

pictures were auctioned or sold to alumni. We

would like to digitize these pictures. The mu-

seum would like to have the pictures for their

collection if the owners of the originals would be

willing to donate them. Especially appreciated

are pictures with the students and teachers

named. We are also interested in pictures of the

school buildings.

The picture below is dated 1903 and is the

Sambo School. We are fortunate that someone

has written the names of most of the students on

the back. This is an example of the type of picture

we are hoping to locate.

Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) Conference

August 21–24

Fort Wayne, Indiana

This year’s FGS conference has something

for everyone. Sessions will include a wide array

of offerings from many of the nation's leading

family history experts along with genealogical

and historical organizations.

One of the most exciting areas at FGS confer-

ences is the large exhibit hall, featuring the

latest software, books, maps, databases and

gadgets on the market for genealogists and

family historians, as well as information about

genealogical organizations.

Check out the program offerings on their web-

site at www.fgsconference.org.

The Genealogy Nuts will be traveling to

Ft. Wayne to research at the Allen County

Public Library (ACPL). The overnight trip will

be on September 12th & 13th and registration

is required. If you are interested, please

contact the Indiana Room.

In 2007, ACPL moved into their new building

in downtown Ft. Wayne. The Genealogy Cen-

ter occupies 42,000 square feet on the second

floor. It is the second largest genealogy

library in North America and is considered the

best among public libraries.

For more information, visit the ACPL web-

site at www.acpl.lib.in.us. Look for the link

for genealogy to learn more about their col-

lection.
