The soon-to-be-completed library of the Bowles Life Center was selected to receive a collection of books as the result of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Assocation. The We the People Bookshelf features 19 books in English and Spanish on the theme of freedom. The books are:
Sam the Minuteman by Nathaniel Benchley
The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble
Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
El Cuento de Pedrito Conega by Beatrix Potter
The House of Dies Drear by Virginia Hamilton
Ben and Me by Robert Lawson
To Be a Slave by Julius Lester
The Complete Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
El León, La Bruja & Ropero by C.S. Lewis
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451 (in Spanish) by Ray Bradbury
Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt
The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
Miracle at Philadelphia by Catherine Drinker Bowen
My Antonia by Willa Cather
Mi Antonia (Spanish) by Willa Cather
Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
If you can't wait until the Bowles Center opens to read one of these, ask a librarian (or check our libary catalog) to see if a copy is already owned by the Library.
