National Treasures @ Your Library!
In honor of the new PBS series "The National Parks: America's Best Idea",check out this new book by Timothy Egan about Teddy Roosevelt! You may also be interested in looking up John Muir, a Scottish-born American naturalist and the founder of the Sierra Club, who has long been considered one of America's earliest environmentalists. He was instrumental in preserving Yosemite and some wonderful photographs by Ansel Adams showcase the beauty of this wonderful national treasure.
