LIBRARIES FOR ALLby Patricia L. Cook

Public libraries have existed since around 288 B.C. The best-known early public library, considered the first, was the Great Library of Alexandria, properly called the Royal Library of Alexandria, in Egypt. • The ancient library served as a great resource

center for scholars as well as the general public. It had around 700,000 scrolls, equivalent to more than 100,000 printed books. The original library was destroyed after about 600 years. The exact date and cause of the destruction is unclear but many attribute its demise to Julius Caesar.

• When the uprising in Egypt occurred earlier this year many people did not realize that a major world library might be destroyed again! The Bibliotheca Alexandrina was built from 1994 to 2002 to replace the ancient library. The new library, designed by a Norwegian firm, Shohetta, is modern with a glass-paneled roof inclined toward the Mediterranean Sea, symbolizing the image of the Egyptian sun illuminating the world.

• The new library was protected by people joining hands around it. University students placed a huge national flag on the steps of the Bibliotheca as a sign to please respect the property. The Bibliotheca has space for about five million books.

LIBRARIES FOR ALL (continued):• That is not the largest library in the world though. The U.S. Library of Congress holds that honor with nearly 20 million books. The original building for the Library of Con-gress, established in 1800, was also destroyed by fi re. It was burned by the British in 1814 during the War of 1812, and rebuilding started immediately. Former President Thomas Jef-ferson sold his personal library to Congress to help replace the books that were destroyed. The appraised value of his collection was $23,950 and more than doubled the original library. • Fire caused the loss of many books and en-tire libraries in the early years. Many churches and early government offi cials were instru-mental in establishing and protecting history through donating works and rebuilding build-

ings after fi res reduced libraries to ashes. • In 1875, there were 188 public libraries in the United States. By 1886, there were more than 600. The importance of public libraries was steadily growing when Scottish-American An-drew Carnegie made books even more accessible.• Carnegie was one of the richest men in the world, making his fortune in steel production and construction. He resolved by the age of 33 to keep only $50,000 a year from his earnings and use the rest to help others. His “Gospel of Wealth,” was to “make no effort to increase for-tune but spend the surplus each year for benevo-lent purposes. Cast aside business forever ex-cept for others.” He gave away more than $333 million — 90 percent of his fortune. Included in this benevolence was the creation of more than 1,600 free public library buildings in 1,412

American communities, 125 in Canada and more in his native Scotland and around the world. • In order for a community to receive library funds from Carnegie, they had to commit to providing land for the building with room for expansion as needs arose and a budget for operation and maintenance. He insisted on community commitment. The fi rst Carn-egie Library was built in Dunfermline, Scot-land, Carnegie’s hometown. The fi rst in the United States was in Braddock, Pennsylvania. • Many of the Carnegie Libraries in the United States are listed and protected on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places as part of the National Park Service and open for the public to enjoy. Even today, libraries are often designed as fantastic structures that draw people with their architectural signifi cance. Then the mag

The non-sibling with whom you share a grandparent is your first cousin, If you share a great-grandparent, but not a grandparent or parent, it’s your second cousin. The child of your first cousin is your first cousin “once removed,” indicating the number of generations separating you from each other. “First cousin once removed” and “second cousin” are not the same thing!

You know it’s a hot summer when farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

There are three components of UV light — UVA, UVB and UVC. A sunburn is caused by UVB light, which causes immediate damage. The UVA light used by a tanning bed may be more dangerous because the light penetrates more deeply into the layers of the skin.

LIBRARIES FOR ALL (continued):ic of books and reading keeps them intrigued!• Seattle, Washington, received a generous do-nation from Carnegie after its library was to-tally destroyed by fire on January 2, 1901. Four days later, Carnegie agreed to donate $200,000 to build a new “fireproof” library. • In 2004, the third building housing the Seattle Central Public Library located at the original Carnegie site, 1000 Fourth Avenue, was opened. This building was a result of the largest library bond issue ever submitted in the United States. The “Libraries for All” bond was for a proposed $196.4 million for a makeover of the entire Seattle Public Library system, including the new Central building. The project was completed in 2008 with donations and other gifts totaling $290.7 million. The new library is a beautiful architectural gem that is bustling with activity. Carnegie would be proud that he helped encourage this years ago! • The Toronto Public Library system is the largest in Canada with 99 branches. It also has the distinc-tion of being the world’s busiest urban library sys-tem. Toronto is still using seven of the 10 libraries that were opened in the city using Carnegie grants.• Two of the most unique public libraries in the world are in the country of Columbia. Three rock-like buildings on a prominent peak overlooking the city of Medellín offer patrons a beautiful place to browse the open stacks of books and a wonderful view. The building looks like three separate dark stones, but they are all connected underground. • The other unique library in Columbia travels on the backs of two donkeys! “Biblioburro” is the service offered by Luis Soriano, a primary school teacher who saw the need for rural children to have more access to books. The burros, Alfa and Beto (based on the word “alphabet”), have been carry-ing Luis and books to more than 4,000 youngsters since 1990. He and his wife also built the larg-est free library in Madgalena, next to their home.

Physical Acti vity Pays DividendsIt makes sense to pay att enti on to a

study that’s gone on for many years. There’s one that’s been in place since 2,400 men and women were born 1946. The study, reported in a recent issue of the American Journal of Preventi ve Medicine, was called “Physical Acti vity Across Adulthood and Physical Performance in Midlife.”

Scienti sts hoped to learn whether leisure-ti me physical acti vity at a younger age had anything to do with the status of physical strength in later years. The parti cipants were contacted more than 20 ti mes for

updated informati on, checked at ages 36, 43, and 53 and tested for standing balance, how long it took to rise up out of a chair, and grip strength.

Standing balance measured how long the parti cipant could stand on one leg with eyes closed, up to 30 seconds. Chair-rise speed involved getti ng up out of a chair, standing straight and sitti ng back down -- ten ti mes! Grip strength used an electronic device for measurement.

Here’s how the results turned out: At all three checks, “chair rise” ti me was positi vely aff ected by prior physical acti vity. At ages 43 and 53 standing balance was aff ected. At age 53, women’s grip strength wasn’t aff ected, but it was with men.

The conclusion was that yes indeed, physical acti vity does aff ect the status of our physical strength and performance later in life.

To Your Good Health By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

Know the Signs of Heart Valve TroubleDEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past fi ve years I have known that I have aortic stenosis. I have no symptoms and no restrictions on what I do. My doctor says I need no treatment. I’m happy about that. Will I have a shortened life? I’m 55. --- S.B.

ANSWER: “Stenosis” indicates narrowing. The aortic valve closes when the heart pumps blood out and into the aorta and the entire body. Closure of the valve stops blood from leaking back into the heart. Because the valve and its opening have constricted, the heart has to pump harder to empty itself. That strains the heart, and, in time, leads to heart failure.Stenosis is relative. Its danger and its consequences depend on how narrow are the opening and valve. Doctors can get an accurate picture of the valve’s dimensions through an echocardiogram, a sound wave picture of the heart.When the valve and its opening reach a critical size, decisions are made about the best treatment. Often, it’s surgery with the installation of an artifi cial valve. If a severely narrowed valve goes untreated, three symptoms develop: chest pain on activity (angina), shortness of breath and fainting spells.

Death occurs within three or fewer years unless a new valve is put in place. Surgery is usually performed well before these signs make their appearance. You might never need a correction if the narrowing process stops.You probably wonder how you acquired the valve problem. You might have been born with a valve that had minor defects, which promoted narrowing. Calcifi cations could have settled on the valve. Or you might have had rheumatic fever as a child, which caused valve deformity.The booklet on heart-valve disorders gives a comprehensive view on these valves and their treatment. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 105W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. ***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have had three attacks of gallbladder pain due to gallstones. My doctor is pushing me to have my gallbladder removed. The prospect of surgery doesn’t thrill me. Can’t these stones be treated in some other way? How does my body function without a gallbladder? -- R.C.

ANSWER: Have the surgery. You have had three attacks of gallbladder pain; you’re bound to have more. You won’t fi nd the surgery as frightening as you imagine. Often, it is done through small incisions with the guidance of a scope.The body does quite well without a gallbladder. It’s a reservoir for bile, which is made in the liver.

LIBRARIES FOR ALL (continued):• Similar to the Biblioburro are bookmobiles, bus-sized vehicles driven into rural areas and al-lowing children and adults to peruse the shelves for reading material. The fi rst was actually a book wagon used in Washington County, Maryland, in 1905. Modern bookmobiles are still in use today. • While the fi rst public libraries consist-ed of many volumes of scrolls mostly made of papyrus and displayed in pigeon-hole shelves, today’s libraries contain hard and soft bound books, magazines, computers, music, mov-ies and more. Libraries have been and will continue to be an important part of commu-nities. Check out your public library soon!

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:ADAM TALIAFERRO

While playing in his fi fth college football game for the Penn State Nittany Lions on September 23, 2000, Adam Taliaferro sus-tained a career-ending spinal cord injury. • Adam was only 18 when his football career came to an end. He had been a stand-out cornerback and running back for East-ern High School in Voorhees Township, New Jersey. He averaged 9.4 yards (8.6 m) per run, had 62 touchdowns and seven intercep-tions in his two years of varsity football. • Taliaferro also set his high school’s high jump record for the track team at 6 feet, 6 inches (2 m) and was a start

Dog Eats Nonstop

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Why does my dog, ÒJack,Ó eat nonstop? If I don’t hide his food, he will eat it all. He’s even broken into the pantry where I kept his dog food and torn the bag open to get at it. Is there something wrong with him? -- Kerrie J., via e-mailDEAR KERRIE: It’s always wise to check with your veterinarian if your pet’s behavior is worrisome to you. If Jack only recently started eating nonstop, tell the vet about this behavioral change. He or she may want to take a look at Jack to rule out any possible health issues.Many dog owners, however, fi nd it neces-sary to hide the dog food and store any easy-to-open people food on high shelves where their dog can’t reach. This is because

many dogs will eat everything in sight for as long as they can, way past the point of being full. This doesn’t just put them at risk of obe-sity, it puts them at risk of bloat, a condition that can be fatal.Eating people food also puts pets at risk for other conditions -- for example, onions are poisonous to dogs, as is chocolate.Feed your dog according to the guidelines for his size and breed -- often these are printed on the dog-food packaging, or you can ask the vet how much and how often he should eat. Make sure Jack cannot access any food, or the garbage, when unsupervised.If Jack overeats again, watch him closely for signs of bloat. These include sudden behav-ioral change, anxiety or restlessness, frequent attempts to vomit with no success, attempts to defecate without result, a bloated abdomen that may feel tight as a drum, and a hunched-over appearance. If you observe any of these, get Jack to the veterinarian immediately

The non-sibling with whom you share a grandparent is your first cousin, If you share a great-grandparent, but not a grandparent or parent, it’s your second cousin. The child of your first cousin is your first cousin “once removed,” indicating the number of generations separating you from each other. “First cousin once removed” and “second cousin” are not the same thing!

There are three components of UV light — UVA, UVB and UVC. A sunburn is caused by UVB light, which causes immediate damage. The UVA light used by a tanning bed may be more dangerous because the light penetrates more deeply into the layers of the skin.

ADAM TALIAFERRO (continued):

ing player on the varsity basketball team for all four years of high school. He was a natu-rally gifted athlete with a glowing future. • Coach Joe Paterno and the Penn State follow-ers had high hopes for freshman Taliaferro, a great addition to their university squad. When Taliaferro was told before the game against Ohio State that he would get some playing time that day, he called his parents to let them know. They were watching on television when Taliaferro hit the ground awkwardly after tackling Jerry Westbrooks of Ohio State. He didn’t get up. • Taliaferro burst the fifth cervical vertebra in his neck and bruised his spinal cord when he hit Westbrooks’ knee and the turf with his helmet. Paralyzed from the neck down, the immedi-ate expert attention Taliaferro received on the field as his teammates and the crowd prayed provided for the beginning of a miraculous re-covery. He was taken to Ohio State University Medical Center where successful spinal fusion surgery was performed. He was then trans-ferred to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. • On October 6, Taliaferro was taken to Ma-gee Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center, one of the top hospitals in the country for his injury.
