Meetings attended: North Texas Library Consortium, 5/3, Roanoke Denton County Library Advisory Board, 5/17, The Colony CIRCULATION: Took a new set of books to the Senior Center. PUBLIC RELATIONS: Summer Reading Club flyers went out to elementary and intermediate schools. Gaming flyers went out to the Sixth Grade Campus, the Middle School and High School. Flyers were not distributed to everyone, but had to be picked up by those paying attention. Painted an iguana and a mockingbird from the Texas State Library clip art on front door to promote the Summer Reading Club. The theme is "Get a Clue ... at the Library". SPECIAL PROJECTS: Recruited sponsors for Summer Reading Club. Volunteered at the Scholastic Warehouse Sale in exchange for books for prizes for Summer Reading. PROGRAMS: Adult programs held: Options in Geriatric Care, Sun Safety and Skin Cancer, Planning the Home Landscape, two Knitting and Crochet workshops, an Open Crop Scrapbooking session and the book club meeting. The Storytime theme was "Farms". Weekly themes were "Farmers arrd Tractors", "Cows", "Pigs", "Chickens and Ducks" and "Sheep". Favorite activities were herding balloon cows and biding cotton ball lambs to be found by each other. Favorite crafts were making cotton ball sheep and discovering a pink crayoned pig when the paper was covered with a light tempera "mud" wash. Children also made bookmarks for Mother's Day with pressed flowers that they had gathered at a Storytime in March.

Sanger Public Library Plants are more than just a witness or backdrop to human activity and progress ---according to Welsh author Bill Laws, "plants have played a dynamic role in shaping our history". In "Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of History" he examines he ex- amines the fascinating history and effects of some of those vital plants on civilization. Some of the selections, such as wheat, are more obviously im- portant than others. Early hunter - gatherers harvested wild wheat and planted Its grains as they transitioned into farmers. Sev- eral years of poor wheal harvests played an incendiary role in the French Revolution, as the suffer- ing population protested the lack of bread to eat ---prompting Marie Antoinette's reported proclama- tion, "Let them eat cake', and her subsequent beheading. The portability of wheat grains also played a major role in the explo- ration and settlement of the New World, since mariners could plant Wtually everywhere they landed, and then at harvest restock their supplies for further travels. Corn and rice have similar histories and impacts. �ulier Mrz.L,� j o Other plants' historical impor- tance may be less apparent, but Ere text explains the connections- Lhow black pepper led to the cre- ation of the world's first banking > ystem in Venice, for instance, nd how the discovery of pine- pple in the New World inspired he invention of the greenhouse in urope. Laws, a journalist and author f 15 books, primarily on history, anages to get a lot of historical dolls into just a few pages for Fach plant, especially consider - the fact that there is are il- slralions on almost every page. And the fact that the history is fe- plly more about human civilization {{{hhhan botany makes it even more Interesting and at limes hard to ut down. r To find out more about our trrterrelatedness with a variety of plants, check out 'Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of His- tory' by Bill Laws, new at Sanger Public Library.
