Type here the books you've already read to the folks at Eldercare Center, so others can see what sorts of books we're reading and we don't start getting repeats.

• Tuesday, June 13, 2006-From James Herriot's writings: One dog story and one cat story; reader, Brenda Graves-Blevins
• Tuesday, August 22, 2006-"Ten Ways to Look at Columbia (by bus)" from Boone County Fare. Call#PS536.B6. In the 1970's, a guy decided to ride each city bus route to see Columbia, Missouri. It was an odd short story, but it was full of local landmarks that started a lot of conversations. We had a great time and I learned a lot about our city. It was fun to talk about our local history and how our city has changed over the last three decades. reader, Kathy Peters
