Twenty-two childhood stories told by men and women about roller-skating during different periods in American history.

Moving can be a traumatic experience for anybody, especially children. In When Faith Flies Over The Finish Line, Rodney Whimple's father is a pastor, and the family moves from their mountain home in Colorado, to Maryland's Eastern Shore, where the landscape is flat as a pancake. Seeing the drastic changes, poor Rodney feels sad and sorry for himself. He misses his special friends and the tree house and telescope that he had to leave behind. But little does he realize that God has an amazing plan for his life. He's soon blessed with a wonderful new home and wonderful new friends. He's even blessed with something much bigger and better than a tree house, and a much bigger and better telescope that can see for miles and miles. And not only that, he gets to fly his very own plane in the Annual Ocean City Air Race. After that soaring adventure, his faith in God carries him to new heights and he'll never ever feel sorry for himself again. Lesson is based on Jeremiah 29:11

Green buildings are better buildings. In fact, buildings use 36% of the energy in the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, so green buildings that use less energy help to address the very real challenges of reliance on fossil fuel and climate change. More than only being environmentally responsible, green libraries are beautiful, cost-effective, high-performance buildings that enhance occupant health and comfort. The Green Library Planner is designed for members of library building design teams who typically are not actively engaged in architecture, construction, or engineering, but who need an introduction to the rationale for green buildings, the elements of green building, and the language of the field. It will be equally useful for public officials, boards, or administrators who are considering a new green library building, a renovated library structure, or sustainable elements for a current library facility. Mary M. Carr, a library director who is also a LEED-Accredited Professional with national certification, first introduces the basic tenets of green building. She then covers the gamut of green building from design, through all phases of construction or renovation, to operations and maintenance. Chapter highlights include: Fundamentals of Sustainable Building The Importance of Place Energy and Lighting Indoor Environmental Quality Water Conservation and Quality Sustainable Construction Management Techniques Commissioning Sustainable Operations and Maintenance With this information the librarian, and related library staff and administrators, will be able to design, build or renovate, and operate the library in the best way possible, while considering the environmental and economic challenges faced, locally and globally, in the 21st century.
