Celebrating March
Chocolate-chip cookies, Kevlar, potato chip bags and windshield wipers. What do these things have in common? Each was invented by a woman!
Last week, we at CRDL told you March is National Reading Month. Did you know March is Women’s History Month, too? The best part is CRDL has resources for you to learn all about it!
We promise history can be interesting. For example, Hillary Clinton is widely recognized for her campaign for President, but she wasn’t the first to make the run. Way back in 1872, Victoria Woodhull ran for President of the United States–and this was before women could vote! You can read all about her in “A Woman for President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull,” by Kathleen Krull.
I bet there’s a lot more you might not know about women’s history. Luckily, CRDL has many exciting books for you to check out!
Tonya Bolden’s “33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women’s History” uses poems, essays, letters and photographs to help you learn tons of great facts and important female figures throughout American history.
Other great books to look for include Louise Bernikow’s “The American Women’s Almanac: An Inspiring and Irreverent Women’s History,” Virginia Law Burns’ “Bold Women in Michigan History” and Constance Jones’ “1001 Things Everyone Should Know About Women’s History.”
It’s fun to learn even more about all the well-known women in history, too. CRDL has lots to choose from, including books on Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, Madame C.J. Walker, Amelia Earhart, Pocahontas and tons more.
With so much to read for Women’s History Month, it should be easy finishing your four books for CRDL’s Books Are Lifesavers. Don’t forget to pick up your log sheets today at Veterans Memorial Library or Faith Johnston Memorial Library. After completing and logging four books, bring in your sheet, because you’ll be very sweetly rewarded.
As always, great books, fun events and awesome activities can be found by visiting our newly-designed Web site at crdl.org. You’ll see why everyone’s saying, “I Love My Library!”
