Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace- One School at a Time/ by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

Linda said: What amazed me is that this man lived in his car while all his money went to support his goal. Mortenson had been climbing the K2 mountain in Pakistan, was sick, got lost and stumbled upon a village whose people cared for him. He observed the village kids learning in the open air (too cold to learn in winter) and promised to return to build a school. Mortenson typed (with a typewriter!) letters soliciting donations. This humble beginning grew into the Central Asia Institute foundation and the construction of more than 70 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Welcome Back!

Sullivan Family Library welcomes everyone back for the Spring '09 semester and hopes everyone had a wonderful holiday break.

We have added OneSearch to our website. This feature allows searching across all of our databases at once (EBSCO, LexisNexis, ProQuest, etc.), rather than searching each database in turn.

See the post below for more info.

One search across multiple databases

OneSearch searches across the library research databases at one time. Try it when you're not sure exactly what you're looking for or what your topic will bring up. If you're doing extensive research, you will still want to search the native databases.

Available from the home page OneSearch tab or here.
