NEW EDUCATIONAL DVDS

The Green Free Library has received donations of the following educational

The Valley That Changed the World

Excerpt from the WQED website:

The program explores historic events leading up to 1859 and the Drake oil well, the oil companies that sprang out of the boom, the developments of towns like Oil City, Franklin, and Titusville, and the people and families instrumental in the industry. Like the California Gold Rush, people flocked to the region from all over the country after the discovery of oil to make their fortunes.

 

The Valley That Changed the World includes the following little-known facts:

· How Pithole, Pennsylvania, an oil boom town, grew to 15,000 people in 1865 and ended up a ghost town by 1867.

· How John Wilkes Booth came to the Oil Region during the boom and why he left.

· Why Drake's oil well was called "Drake's Folly."

· What happened to Colonel Edwin Drake after his well began production.

· How the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania "saved the whales."

· How the fledgling oil industry brought Union and Confederate soldiers together after the Civil War.

· How people used petroleum for medicinal purposes – hence the term "snake oil."

 

Stories of a Third-generation Independent Oil Producer, As Told by Bill Huber

Excerpt from Oil150.com:

In this 30-minute DVD, produced for the Oil Region Alliance by Pittsburgh's Legion Media, Bill Huber recounts his family's history as independent oil producers in the Oil Region National Heritage Area. The film is highlighted by entertaining and informative anecdotes as well as by historical photographs and film from the Huber family archives.

Presentation by Mayor Calvin Tillman of Dish, Texas- Gas Drilling: What You can Do About It

From the cover: Mayor Tillman talks about his town's fight to protect the health of it's people from the impact of toxic emissions in gas fields. (Live presentation recorded February 20, 2010 in Elmira Heights, NY)

Out in the Silence Love, hate, and a quest for change in small town America

From the Overview: Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown.

Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson's journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Behind every good man…

Today, June 20, 2010, is Father’s Day! This is the day children of all ages honor their fathers or other nurturing men in their lives, thanks to the efforts of one woman. Sonora Smart Dodd spent over 62 years fighting to establish a holiday for all fathers after creating the celebration in honor of her own father, William Jackson Smart. Though this is not the first indication that fathers were honored by their children, Sonora’s dedication and perseverance led to the establishment of a recognized national holiday on the 3rd Sunday in June. The first official Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Father’s Day is also celebrated on other days throughout the world.

The director and staff of The Green Free Library would like to wish all fathers and fathers-to-be, a Happy Father's Day!!

DIRECTOR ATTENDS BEA

Remember the early days of the Internet, when everyone bemoaned the death of the book and conventional printing? How wrong they were! Leslie Wishard, the director of The Green Free Library, along with several other local librarians, recently attended BEA or BookExpo America in New York City.

BEA is a conference lasting 3 days, where booksellers, librarians and educators from all over the country have access to over 500 authors and their works, and 1500 exhibitors in the publishing industry. It is the largest publishing event in North America!

Famous authors mingle with those just starting out. Thousands of books are available for purchase, and get this-for free! Authors are even on hand to autograph their works, even big names like Sara Ferguson, James Patterson, Ridley Pearson Tony Hawk and Barbara Streisand- who was also the opening night keynote speaker. And for those of us from a certain era, Rick Springfield!!!

Here are some photos of the event.
