Celebrate July With Freedom Books

Sometimes you must think all I write about are books, and sometimes I feel that way, too. But lately we've been putting up some summer reading displays and we have lots of books to tell you about. Well...audio books and videos and DVDs and....
Anyway, we hope you'll take a look at our "Let Freedom Ring" book display when you come to the library. It's in the foyer at the main entrance. You can't miss it: a big round table with red, white and blue decorations, and lots of books about freedom, patriots, and liberty. Such as:

• Drums Along the Mohawk by Walter D. Edmonds - The classic story of forgotten pioneers during the Revolutionary War, Gilbert Martin and his young wife, as they stuck to their land and fought a war without ever quite understanding it.
• A Dead Liberty by Catherine Aird - Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan finds out exactly how deadly a dish of chili con carne can be. I'll have to read this to find out about liberty.
• Let Freedom Ring! by Dale Evans Rogers -A reflection on the rich heritage of the American past and discovery that God had a special hand in the formation of our national ideals and goals.

• Patriots by Steve Sohmer - A great adventure, a miracle of suspense, a mined labyrinth of electrifying politics, terror and philosophy.
• Battle Cry of Freedom, The Civil War Era by James M. McPherson - An authoritative volume that makes sense of the vast and confusing "Second American Revolution" we called the Civil War...and...
