pickIn April as we were exiting the GC station in NYC, I read the plaque dedicated to Jackie Kennedy Onassis for the work she and her army of supporters did to save it from demolition in the early 1990s. Otherwise I wouldn‘t have known about these books

pick#Movember Day 7: The #Iconic Jacqueline Kennedy fighting to save an American Icon, the Grand Central Station in NY in this fab nonfiction picturebook. Reading about clear, decisive, unyielding voices such as this woman‘s is empowering. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kjK
pickI listened to this audiobook on the drive home from Biltmore, so obviously I‘m the target audience. It was probably a little more detailed than I needed, but it was still a nice compliment to my trip.
pick"The fight to save Grand Central changed how people viewed old buildings. Rather than tearing them down, preservationists now had a model for how to save historic buildings all over the country, protecting our precious heritage."
Today I took my parents to visit The Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC and they had a special exhibit of costumes from many bookish films based on books that were favorites of the Vanderbilt family. Look what we found in the Library❣️
My local library, the Solvay Village library. Its just a few blocks from my house. I actually really love the building, it was built in 1903 that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It's small, but lovely. ❤️📚 #mylocallibrary #roitgrams #historicbuildings (images courtesy of Google)
