The Epic Quest Continues in July...@ Your Library Photos from The Discover What’s New at Your Library Vol. 18 ◊ Issue 4 Jul / Aug 2017 The Epic Quest Continues in July...@ Your Library Summer Reading 2017 July 1st - July 29th Photos from the Newport Aquarium June visit at the Eaton Branch Pictured (L-R): Joseph Armstrong and Clayton Jaros. Photo by Victoria Albaugh, Everyone knows librarians help students find books and other research materials used to write papers, but sometimes they decide to go above and beyond to help those who pass through their library. Joseph Armstrong, a senior in the middle of finals season, needed help to finish his web page design project. He thought he would have to hire an expensive tutor. But Clayton, a children’s librarian at the Eaton Branch who just graduated with a business degree that included a focus on web page design, volunteered his time to help Joseph. They sat down together for a while in the library, and now Joseph is one step closer to completing his project. It’s always wonderful to see our library team going out of their way to help their community. ~Rachel Duncan, Library Assistant, Eaton Branch~ Library Admin. Office 450 S.

My husband. sister and I visited your city in April 2017. I had been eager for a couple of years to find out more about my ancestors who were born, lived and/or died there. I had looked up the website for the Genealogy Library online, and was eager to see if I could find out any information. When we walked in, I was asked what family names I was looking for. Three people started scurrying, and within ten minutes there was a large pile of folders, documents and books in front of me. I was thrilled! The staff kept searching more sources, and I didn't even notice they skipped their lunch to help me. When we left four hours later, I settled up my bill for the photocopies, made a donation, which my sister did also. I am writing to you so you will know how much the kindness and perseverance of the staff impressed us. Please, if you have any ways of publicly thanking the staff that you do so.

The flowers are smallish, only a couple of inches in diameter, but they are exquisite--shell pink shading to darker in the center. That’s why I love gardening.

Pendlebury achieved great acclaim as an archaeologist who studied both ancient Greece and Egypt, becoming director of excavations at both Knossos and Amarna. Called a vigorous romantic, Pendlebury would often immerse himself fully in his work, getting to know each of his sites intimately, which ultimately aided him when he joined British Intelligence. John Pendlebury is your classic hero, a personality that became the archetype for what would later become fictionalized archeologists including but not limited to Indiana Jones, Ramses Emerson, and Julius Kane. Though many may not know his name, they certainly know his profile – an intelligent and ruggedly handsome Englishman who is not afraid to get his hands dirty and ultimately gives up his career in order to save the world from evil forces.

  • Women Sleuths 20
    Women Sleuths Bibliography Edition 20 January 2020 Brown Deer Public Library 5600 W. Bradley Road Brown Deer, WI 53223 1 MMMysteryMystery Murder Investigation Detective Evidence ClueClue…… She may be a police officer, a private detective, an office worker, a professor, an attorney, a nun, or even a librarian, but the woman sleuth is always tenacious and self-reliant. She may occasionally use her physical strength or a weapon in the course of her crime solving; more often, though, she uses her intelligence, her expertise in a specific area, and her understanding of human nature to reach a solution. The Women Sleuths Bibliography was first compiled by Linda Paulaskas, former South Milwaukee Library Director, and Cathy Morris-Nelson, former Brown Deer Library Director. Kelley Hinton, Reference Librarian at the Brown Deer Library, continued to revise and update the bibliography through the 13th Edition. Since then, updates have been made by Brown Deer Library volunteer and mystery enthusiast Paula Reiter. This is not a comprehensive bibliography, but rather a compilation of current series, which feature a woman sleuth. Most of the titles in this bibliography can be found arranged alphabetically by author at the Brown Deer Public Library. ___ We have added lines in front of each title, so you might keep track of the books and authors you read. We have also included author website addresses and unique features found on the sites. This symbol indicates a series new to the twentieth edition. The cover photo was found on the Paumelia Flickr Creative Commons photostream. Thank you for sharing your photo! Kimura, Yumi.

  • Item More Personal, More Unique, And, Therefore More Representative of the Experience of the Book Itself
    Q&B Quill & Brush (301) 874-3200 Fax: (301)874-0824 E-mail: [email protected] Home Page: http://www.qbbooks.com A dear friend of ours, who is herself an author, once asked, “But why do these people want me to sign their books?” I didn’t have a ready answer, but have reflected on the question ever since. Why Signed Books? Reading is pure pleasure, and we tend to develop affection for the people who bring us such pleasure. Even when we discuss books for a living, or in a book club, or with our spouses or co- workers, reading is still a very personal, solo pursuit. For most collectors, a signature in a book is one way to make a mass-produced item more personal, more unique, and, therefore more representative of the experience of the book itself. Few of us have the opportunity to meet the authors we love face-to-face, but a book signed by an author is often the next best thing—it brings us that much closer to the author, proof positive that they have held it in their own hands. Of course, for others, there is a cost analysis, a running thought-process that goes something like this: “If I’m going to invest in a book, I might as well buy a first edition, and if I’m going to invest in a first edition, I might as well buy a signed copy.” In other words we want the best possible copy—if nothing else, it is at least one way to hedge the bet that the book will go up in value, or, nowadays, retain its value.
