"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island..."
--Walt Disney (1901-1966)
The Web is cool, but the library is magic.
Where else can the spirit of generations of writers stir your soul? So many writers talk about libraries setting them on their magical paths, it's almost a groaner. But we know it's true. Wander through the stacks and you can feel the dreams, the unique worlds bubbling within each volume. The magic enters you as if by osmosis. On the Web, you may feel clever, lucky and driven to download--but rarely inspired to dream and to write.

For Nonfiction Monday - - "Emi and the Rhino Scientist" written by Mary Kay Carson with photographs by Tom Uhlman.
Carson documents the work of biologist Terri Roth's work with rare Sumatran Rhinos. At home in the Cincinnati Zoo, Terri, who specializes in endangered species reproduction, cares for Emi, the first Sumatran Rhino to give birth in captivity in 112 years. This alone is a remarkable achievement in the ongoing quest to protect the smallest and most endangered rhino on the planet. Twenty years ago there were a thousand in the wild. Poaching and loss of habitat have reduced that number to only 300.
Uhlman's photographs -- up close and personal -- bring the reader an intimate sense of this important work and these amazing animals.
A Rhino Field Guide gives readers maps of habitat and important facts about each of the Rhino species.
