I am sure having a great time browsing through our books that the Hamann Memorial Library has pulled aside for our patrons to learn more about this wonderful country in which we live.
This week I am spotlighting a National Geographic book called “American Heroes” by Marfe Ferguson Delano. First of all I have been an avid reader of the National Geographic magazine for decades. The pictures are so vivid and the maps were exquisite. Neither has this book disappointed me. It takes us through America’s beginning, through the Revolutionary Age, New Republic, Civil War, Industry and Empire, New Deal, through World Wars right to the present.
This book features many people who helped shape America into what we are today. There are so many people featured in this book that I didn’t realize the impact they had on the world.
Why don’t you stop in the Hamann Memorial Library and browse through or check this book out. You too may read something that you didn’t know you knew before.

I have been very blessed through my life with visiting places. In 2009 I was able to cross state number 50 off my bucket list. Yes, I have visited all 50 United States. Some were very brief stays while others were actually setting down roots. So this week’s book is right up my alley.
This week I am spotlighting another book celebrating our country’s birthday. It is called “First Facts about the States” by David L. Stienecker. Each 2 page layout of the state tells us the state bird, flower, tree, song, capital and many other facts. Keep in mind this book’s copyright date is 1996 so many historical facts in this century are missing.
Stop in the Hamann Memorial Library and check out the books featuring our country. In less than a month America will be celebrating its 250th birthday.
