OLYMPICS 2016

Many books have been written, and films created, about the Olympics over the years.   Come visit the library to check out some of those that are waiting for YOU.   On Tuesday, August 2, WGBH (Channel 2) will be airing a documentary about the 1936 Olympic rowing team.  This is based on the #1 best-seller book The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown.  If you are interested in this one, you will have to place a hold as it is still a very popular title even though we have many copies of the book, the audiobook, e-book, and a children's version.  Other book titles available include:  
The Nazi Olympics, After Olympic glory: the lives of ten outstanding medalists:
Something in the air: American passion and defiance in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics:
Breaking the surface;
The dream team: how Michael, Magic, Larry, Charles, and the greatest team of all time conquered the world and changed the game of basketball forever,;
Never stop pushing: my life from a Wyoming farm to the Olympic medals stand;
Going for the gold: how the U.S. won at Lake Placid; and many more. 
Come visit and the librarians will help you find something for you to read, or watch.
