Earth Day: What's Shakin' ?

Categories: Outdoors & Nature

The Earth gave us a little wake-up call a few days ago: an early-morning tremble from an earthquake centered 400 miles away in southern Illinois.  Like a cat who brushes by your feet wanting some attention, I like to think that the Earth was doing the same, saying, "I need some attention, too."  Just in time for Earth Day.

With the resurging awareness of environmental issues, there are tons of 'green' books that are slated to be published in 2008.  Here are a few that are already in the Library's collection:

For adults:

The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time by Elizabeth Rogers

Making Kind Choices: Everyday Ways to Enhance Your Life Through Earth- and Animal- Friendly Living by Ingrid Newkirk
