Description: Images of America is an essential tool for genealogical research, broadly supplementing raw facts with actual images of the towns, factories, schools, churches, and people that shaped a family's history. Public libraries can serve their communities in the most exciting way, offering 5,000 Arcadia titles (for less than a dollar a book) that give patrons highly visual, curbside views of their neighborhoods over time. What did the schools look like 50 years ago? Where were buildings and churches? How did the community change during the World Wars? The marriage of images and texts will jog personal memories and better communicate the emotions associated with homecomings, funerals, and other events of previous generations
