A 1903 guide to setting up a town library. Many of the procedures were very familiar as they are the same ones I was taught in Library Technician classes. I read the Project Gutenberg e-book edition.
Second book in the series. Thomas and the boys (and girls) have to cross The Scorch, after which they are promised a cure for The Flare. The cake is a lie, my friends.
Thirteen fairy tales retold by authors I've actually heard of. Very good. I esspecially liked the girl who recommended learning how to use the card catalog for research as fairy godfathers were sometimes rather undependable.
