Appalachian Trail in the Library this Summer

Blairsville, Georgia's 'Union Sentinel' has yet another article touching on the Appalachian Trail. This time it's the local Union County Public Library getting into the act in the 3 May 2007 issue.

In an article titled "Vacation Reading Program at UC Public Library," we read the following announcement:
"This year's theme will be "Reading Takes You Everywhere" and will center on The Appalachian Trail. We are in the process of turning the Children's Area into The Appalachian Trail with everything from vines and trees to a tent and sleeping bags for camping. Our local United States Forest Service office has donated many posters and trail information to us and will be loaning their black bear to us this year."
I can't help but wonder about that black bear: live? stuffed? toy?

This is a marvelous reading program idea! Give them an award!!
