The Eerie Singing Sirens (Into Reading, Level S #72)
by John Parsons James HartNIMAC-sourced textbook
The Eerie Triangle (Eerie Indiana #3)
by Mike Ford HearstThat's quite a handsome statue of Zebediah Eerie in front of the Eerie Town Hall. But how come there's no mention of the town's founder in history books -- or anywhere else? And what about those hundred-year-old pictures of people who still live in Eerie today ? Marshall and Simon know the truth must be out there somewhere, and they're going to find it. Because the earliest appearance of Eerie they can dig up came right after a bunch of UFO sightings in the Fifties. Could the real founders of Eerie have come from...the skies? And if that startling fact has been covered up...what else don't we know about the strangest place in America?

The Efficient, Inventive (Often Annoying) Melvil Dewey
by Alexis O'NeillMelvil Dewey's love of organization and words drove him to develop and implement his Dewey Decimal system, leaving a significant and lasting impact in libraries across the country.When Melvil Dewey realized every library organized their books differently, he wondered if he could invent a system all libraries could use to organize them efficiently. A rat-a-tat speaker, Melvil was a persistent (and noisy) advocate for free public libraries. And while he made enemies along the way as he pushed for changes--like his battle to establish the first library school with women as students, through it all he was EFFICIENT, INVENTIVE, and often ANNOYING as he made big changes in the world of public libraries--changes still found in the libraries of today!From TI 9781684371983 HC.
