Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
"While probably not a topic you thought you'd ever read about, what happens to bodies donated to science is a fascinating subject. From practice for plastic surgeons to studies on decomposition, there seems to be nothing you can't do with a cadaver." -Kristina, Meadows Branch

Library Love Stories
"For three glorious years, 2003-2006, I lived and traveled in a 21' RV. My communication was aided in large part by libraries. Small towns! Big towns! All the towns seemed to have a library. I was warmly greeted, permitted to use the internet to access my email, to keep in touch with the more stationary part of my world. These years of RVing, USA, Canada, Mexico; all were enriched by having access to libraries. I great to be extremely grateful for these treasures along my path." - Nicole deLorimier
