Our program called OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! encouraged children to find out about other countries. If you are interested in finding out about what we did, books and websites about other countries read below.
The Library was transformed with a Bedouin tent, a Japanese house, a South African Ndebele house, and a rainforest shelter that children could sit in to read. We also had special guests at Library who told us about other countries and saw videos about other lands, all to promote understanding of the people of the world.

"As a child, I loved to
read books. The library was a window to the world, a pathway to worlds and
people far from my neighborhood in Philadelphia. And even today, as I travel
around the world, I often visit places I used to dream about because of the
books I'd read. The library made a difference in my life."
TV Newsman Ed Bradley
