The Tompkins Library is honoring the 9/11 heroes by displaying books and encouraging students and staff to NEVER FORGET.
Here are a few books the library has to offer:
Examines the events of September 11, 2001, and its aftermath in images, words, and other forms of media, from the reporting of CBS News journalists, the first interviews, and eyewitness accounts, and includes coverage of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, documentary footage, and more.
We’re Not Leaving: 9/11 responders tell their stories of courage, sacrifice, and renewal by Benjamin Luft
A compilation of powerful first-person narratives told from the vantage point of World Trade Center disaster workers-police officers, firefighters, construction workers, and other volunteers at the site.While the effects of 9/11 on these everyday heroes and heroines are indelible, and in some cases have been devastating, at the heart of their deeply personal stories-their harrowing escapes from the falling Towers, the egregious environment they worked in for months, the alarming health effects they continue to deal with-is their witness to their personal strength and renewal in the ten years since.
Dog Heroes of September 11th: a tribute to America’s search and rescue dogs by Nona Kilgore Bauer
An illustrated documentation of the efforts of eighty search-dog handlers and their dogs after the events of September 11, 2001, describing their work at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, the Fresh Kills landfill, and the Shanksville, Pennsylvania, crash site and discussing how dogs have been used in Iraq and Afghanistan and other post-9/11 rescue missions.
