Happy Independence Day!

By Joanne Mengel
Independence Day is right around the corner and I am looking forward to a nice long weekend of fun with friends and family. Also referred to as the Fourth of July, it is a great time to celebrate our freedom. The library has lots of books, movies and music to inspire you. I put together a list of a few to get you started.
Sing along with some of your favorite anthems and patriotic songs.
Patriotic country [music CD] (COUNTRY Patriotic country)
Now that's what I call the U.S.A. : the patriotic country collection [music CD] (COUNTRY NOW USA)
Find out the history of our great country with these books.
The Fourth of July : and the founding of America by Peter De Bola (394.2634 D352)
What unites us : reflections on patriotism by Dan Rather (323.65 Rather 2017)
Of thee I sing : the contested history of American patriotism by Ben Railton (323.65 Railton 2021)
Have a fun and safe Independence Day everyone!
