The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
When sober, Jeannette's brilliant father
captured his children's imagination,
teaching them physics, geology, and
how to embrace life fearlessly. But
when he drank, he was dishonest and
destructive. Her mother was a free spirit
who hated anything to do with
domesticity. The Walls children learned to take care of
themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one
another, and eventually found their way to New York.
Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless
even as their children prospered.

Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly
Before John Glenn orbited the earth,
or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon,
a group of dedicated female
mathematicians known as “human
computers” used pencils, slide rules
and adding machines to calculate the
numbers that would launch rockets,
and astronauts, into space. Hidden Figures is the
phenomenal true story of the black female
mathematicians at NASA whose calculations
helped fuel some of America’s greatest achievements
in space. ~Amazon

of the upcoming library events this month:

From Cool Whip bowls and water bottles to catalogs and
cardboard, most of the stuff that Americans have tossed
in our recycling bins since the 1980s has gone all the
way to China for reprocessing. No more.
Last year, in order to curb their own pollution, China
announced a ban on accepting most of the rest of the
world’s garbage. Since January of this year, much of
what we put in our bins has been piling up, causing
havoc for American waste management companies.
Many companies have been forced to divert what was
previously recycled into landfills.
It’s a very complicated problem with no simple solutions,
although just drinking more tap water is a good
grass-roots start.
All that said, the Friends of the
Library organization will be happy
to divert your magazines and books
from landfills! Just bring them to the
circulation desks at our libraries.
The Friends of the Library resells books and bundles of
magazines for others to enjoy. The Friends donates all
of the proceeds back to the library to help pay for the
many programs described in this newsletter.
Your donations to the Friends of the Library help pay it
forward, so that you never have to pay for a library
program. That’s a pretty good way of recycling, isn’t it?
