Chapter 2 Introduction
Check It Out! reporter Abe Martinez, co-hosts Ken Harvey and Jim Hills talk about their experiences and connections with Selma Bonham. Length: 06:21
Chapter 2 – Selma Bonham
This is a reprise, but well worth a listen.
At 93, Selma Bonham has seen a few things.
Majoring in geology, she graduated from Penn State University and then earned a Master’s from Stanford in 1949. After 20 successful years in a male-dominated profession, Bonham retired and moved from the East Coast to Mill Creek and became involved with the Friends of the Mill Creek Library.
Bonham says her awareness of civil rights began early when her father began hiring persons of color for skilled jobs in the department store where he worked.
Later, at Mill Creek, Bonham organized a flash mob at the library to sing in honor of African American Month.

Chapter 3 – Book Notes with Brian Haight
Brian Haight is a librarian at the Coupeville Library and member of the Sno-Isle Libraries Readers’ Services Team. Haight and other team members create a variety of book lists as suggestions for library customers.
In this Book Notes, Haight talks about “The Driver in the Driverless Car: How Our Technology Choices Will Create the Future,” by Vivek Wadwha.
Haight describes a future that may see car drivers becoming car riders. He points out that the book is about far more than driverless cars and delves into other implications of new technology.
Haight also points out that he found this book on the “new books” shelf at the Coupeville Library, but anyone can go to the online catalog and search for titles published in 2019 and new to the Sno-Isle Libraries collection in the past week, 30 days or more.
