The first bookmobile in the United States was introduced in 1905 in Washington County, Maryland. The librarian, Mary Titcomb, wanted to get books into homes throughout the county, not just the largest city. She started by sending boxes of 30 books each to general stores and post offices in small towns to extend the reach of the library and distribute books more widely. By 1904 there were 66 of these deposit stations throughout Washington County.

St. Valentine's Day is celebrated around the world where people give presents to their loved ones. A popular gift is chocolate, like Hershey Kisses created by Milton Hershey. Milton Hershey was born on a farm in Pennsylvania and had a childhood interest in candy making. He went on to found the Lancaster Caramel Company in 1883 and the Hershey Chocolate Factory in 1894, becoming hugely successful and starting the Milton Hershey School for orphaned boys.
This document provides an overview of the history of school libraries. It notes that there is no comprehensive published history of school libraries and they are inadequately covered in histories of education and librarianship. The organized school library first emerged as a phenomenon in the 20th century. Important dates and events in the development of school libraries are shown in an interactive timeline. Standards from the American Association of School Librarians are also listed. The document concludes with references used in its creation.
This power point presentation is all about the 100th anniversary of World War One and how libraries and other community organizations can get involved in the events surrounding it.
This document provides information about upcoming events and programs at the M-H Library in November and December. It lists children's activities like Toddler Time and Breakfast with the Books. It also advertises teen events, craft programs, and movies. The document thanks volunteers and sponsors who support the library and provides details on how to sign up for programs like Imagination Library.
A brief history of the 20th-century English county magazineAndrew Hobbs
This document discusses the history of county magazines in England in the 1930s. Rural Community Councils in the 1920s-1930s promoted activities like adult education, drama, music and local history. In the 1930s, county magazines were launched with the goal of promoting county identity through highlighting local beauty spots, institutions, traditions, and maps. English Life Publications was a major publisher of these magazines, launching titles in several counties before World War 2. The magazines aimed to foster loyalty and identity through tailored advertising and contributions from local writers. They may have helped build a sense of regional middle-class culture and identity.

Sierra attended a Music & Arts Camp from July 9-15, 2006 at Frostburg State University where she shared a room with her friend Rachel in Cambridge Hall. During her time at the camp, Sierra took an art class and made a creation using a plate, plaster of paris and paint.
Henna tattooing, also known as Mehndi, is an ancient art that originated in Egypt over 5,000 years ago. It involves using a paste made from the henna plant to create temporary designs on the skin. Henna tattoos were traditionally used for ceremonies and life events in places like Egypt and India. Over time, the practice spread throughout the Middle East and became popular for weddings and childbirth. While complex designs were once common, modern Western culture favors simpler henna tattoos like butterflies. The application process can take over an hour and requires grinding henna leaves, mixing the powder into a paste, and carefully applying it to the skin.
The library has received new books, including works of both fiction and nonfiction. A variety of genres are represented among the new additions, from novels to biographies to histories. Patrons are encouraged to browse the new selections and check some out.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
2. The first bookmobile in the United States was introduced in Washington County, Maryland in 1905. Mary Titcomb, the first librarian of Washington County Free Library, Maryland, considered seriously the need for the library to become a County Library. Her task was to get books in homes throughout the county, not just in Hagerstown, the county seat. The first step was to send boxes of books on the Library Wagon to the general store or the post office in small towns and villages throughout the county. By 1904 boxes with 30 volumes each were sent to 66 deposit stations, to extend the reach of the library and manage the practical distribution to the books.
On the road with Washington County Free Library “For those in charge of Hagerstown's library do not wait for the rural population to come in to town for books; they take the books to the people.” ...(From Oliver Martin, Chesapeake and Potomac Country, 1928)
Mary Titcomb, library pioneer and originator of the Bookmobile was born in Farmington, New Hampsire in 1857. Her professional training began as an apprentice in the Concord, Massachsetts Public Library. She later served as librarian for Rutland, Vermont Public Library and as secretary of the first Vermont Library Commission. She worked in Vermont as a library organizer for 12 years prior to arriving in Hagerstown, MD. in 1902.
The first bookmobile
The bookwagon 1905-1910. The first wagon, when finished with shelves on the outside and a place for storage of cases in the center resembled somewhat a cross between a grocer's delivery wagon and the tin peddlers cart of by gone New England days. Filled with an attractive collection of books and drawn by two horses, with Mr. Thomas the janitor both holding the reins and dispensing the books, it started on its travels in April 1905. ...(From On the trail of the book wagon, by Mary Titcomb.)

A deposit station was a collection of books held in a location in the county. This particular collection was stored in a private home, that of Miss Anna Shirk of the village of Beautiful View, near the Pennsylvania line. Miss Shirk was listed in the 1906 Bulletin as having a deposit station at her home.

One of the several things to which Hagerstown may well point with pride is the excellent county library which is located there. This excellence consists not so much in the building, equipment or personnel, although these are all that could be desired, as in the fine system of distribution maintained. You may be driving along the highway far from any town and suddenly come upon a group of people around an automobile truck, into the sides of which shelves are fitted, these shelves filled with books. You ask somebody what it is all about. "Oh, that's the library wagon," carelessly replies your informant, just as off-hand as one would say: "Oh, that's the milkman." For those in charge of Hagerstown's library do not wait for the rural population to come in to town for books; they take the books to the people. ...(From Oliver Martin, Chesapeake and Potomac Country, 1928)

The body was manufactured by Gerstenslager of Wooster, OH. The unit cost $12,895 and had a capacity for 2,800 books. The green and white GMC served Washington County until the late 1960's.
