| SPOTLIGHT
ON THE LIBRARY |

Sometimes I forget what incredible
opportunities for sightseeing and traveling are available to me
practically in my own backyard, so to speak. New York has so many
choices for different kinds of vacations. Not all vacations have to be
planned a year in advance or take weeks to complete. I know I’m not
the only one that hates packing and unpacking, or flying. Since I
stumbled across the books that I’m going to tell you about I have a
much better perspective on what to do with these long summer days of
beautiful weather we’ve been having. After reading this article you
won’t be able to wait to pack a lunch, maybe some overnight clothes
and hop in the car with the family or your friends.
From Niagara to Montauk: The Scenic Pleasures of New York State
by C. R. Roseberry (917.4704 R)—As the name implies, this book
contains descriptions of some of the most interesting, spectacular and
historical sites to be seen throughout New York. Black and white aerial
and landscape photographs enhance each section of description about
places like "Taughannock Falls, Highest in the Northeast" and
"Wall of Manitou, The Catskill Mural Front". From mountains to
college campuses, this book gives directions to all that is available
for travelers in this state. A good index will make all the difference
for those who have a particular destination or area in mind. |

Mini Vacations USA by

States abound in this book for the time and money conscious traveler. Mini
