Beach reading
Memorial Day weekend is coming up. The beginning of summer festivities! Will you be heading to the beach for a long weekend of resting, relaxing and mindless reading? The "beach novel" is a staple for many beach goers. How do you find the best "beach novel" or the latest "beach novel"?

Where shall we go?
Are you beginning to think about summer trips? Maybe you'll be taking short trips around Georgia that won't use a whole lot of gas.
Browse through the Sanborn Insurance maps on GALILEO. The University of Georgia Libraries Map Collection holds Sanborn® maps of Georgia towns published between 1884 and 1935, and it holds microfilm copies for maps dated 1935-1985. For a complete list of the University of Georgia Libraries' Sanborn® map holdings, see the Sanborn® Maps at the University of Georgia Libraries page.
And what are the Sanborn maps? The Sanborn® maps are large-scale maps of U.S. cities and towns. Originally designed for purposes of fire insurance assessment, the maps are highly detailed, showing not only the location and size of buildings and streets, but also the placement of water mains, fire walls, and other urban features.
Each city or town is mapped on one or more sheet that includes the downtown region, some housing areas, and local mills. Outlying mill sites and small populated centers in the country near a town are sometimes included as insets.
Compare what was, with what is, as you wander through some of the lovely small towns of Georgia! You could even do that comparison from your desktop (and save on gas!)
