After the convention we went to in Ohio, we got our ideas moving by printing up special stationery, envelopes and special bulletin notices. We are now circulating a patron survey to determine future needs for the Bookmobile. Contact was made with fellow Bookmobilers in New Jersey and a meeting was set for August. An article was sent to "On the Road" about our services in New Jersey and we'll let you know when this is due to appear. On September 23 look for us at the Fall Festival. A guest appearance will be made by none other than BATMAN. Follow him and he will lead you to the Hauntmobile where you can plan on being scared stiff from the minute you enter the haunted house til the time we let you go! A logo contest is under way now to help us design one for the new Bookmobile. Sheets are being handed out on the Bookmobile and at all the branches. The contest is open to children and adults. -5 - THE SCOOP ON SERIES BOOKS by Margaret K. Hreha C h i l d r e n 's Librarian The Children's Department has many series books.

  • Family Reading Booklist
    FAMILY READING BOOKLIST Biblical evaluations of wholesome books for your children and family by David E. Pratte www.gospelway.com/family Family Reading Booklist © Copyright, David E. Pratte, 1994, 2013 Introduction One of the greatest needs for families today is wholesome entertainment. Television, movies, music, etc., are generally filled with immorality, violence, and just plain depression and me- diocrity. Entertainment, like other areas of a Christian’s life, ought to encourage and challenge him to be a better person (Phil 4:8). Most families could use help in finding that kind of entertainment. One excellent source of entertainment can be good books; but many books, especially those written more recently, are also filled with immorality. How do we find good books? The purpose of this booklist is to review some good books I have come across that you may be interested in having your family read. Some of these may be considered “classics,” others are books I just happened across. You may have some difficulty finding some of the books, but you should have enough information here that your library can obtain them by interlibrary loan. I have looked for wholesome qualities in the books such as: faith in God, family devotion, honesty, hard work, courage, helpfulness to others, etc. I have also sought to avoid negative qualities such as sexual explicitness, profanity, violence, drinking alcohol, smoking, gambling, evolution, irreverence toward God, and other forms of ungodliness. I have tried to note when I found such qualities in books, good or bad. Some problems I have considered serious enough to eliminate a book from the list, but in other cases I have kept the book on the list but warned you about a problem.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Danny Dunn Time Traveler by Jay Williams Danny Dunn Time Traveler by Jay Williams. THE DANNY DUNN SERIES By Jay Williams and Raymond Abrashkin. DANNY DUNN AND THE ANTI-GRAVITY PAINT -- " A daydreaming youth accidently launches the first manned flight to outer space. " -- " Danny Dunn and his friend Professor Bullfinch accidentally develop a liquid that defies the power of gravity ." -- illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats. 1956. 1972. McGraw-Hill. Weekly Reader Book Club. Whittlesey House. Brockhampton Press. Scholastic. Pocket Books. Danny Dunn Time Traveler by Jay Williams. Danny Dunn and the Swamp Monster is the 12th book in the series, and was published in 1971. The plot revolves around the search for a mysterious creature, the Lau, that lives in the swamps of northeastern Africa. Given the locations mentioned, it appears to be somewhere in what is now South Sudan, but the final place names do not appear to be known to Google Maps, and so the exact location remains a mystery, as it should be. Of course, it wouldn't be a Danny Dunn story without a cool science MacGuffin, and this episode's contribution is a room temperature superconductor that Professor Bulfinch cooks up in his lab. This time the accident that creates something that scientists have spent decades and millions of dollars searching for, is as much the Professor's fault as Danny's. Simply overcook a pot of polymer on the stove and then give it an electrical shock, and you have something that would change the world as we know it .
