Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile

Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile

by Gloria Houston

Summary: Dorothy has always wanted to work in a library like the red brick one of her girlhood, but after moving to rural North Carolina she discovers that the type of library is less important than the books and the people who read them.

This is a nice story most appropriate for older readers. It is wonderful for discussing that some places, such as churches and libraries, are not buildings but gathering places. Also, it is great for discussing that sometimes you do not get what you want, but if you work hard you can find something just as meaningful.
