900.2I didn't find any references elsewhere...NAC::HARRINGTONFri Apr 29 1994 12:286
Does anybody have any info about celebrations/programs/etc. relating
to the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission?  My wife is hoping
to do something for our town library's summer program, and any hints,
tips, or leads would be welcome.  Thanks!

  For a town library program, you might want to think about promoting some of
the better books covering the space program.

  In particular I'd recommend Tom Wolf's "The Right Stuff" (much better than
the movie) and Mick Collins' "Carrying the Fire" which is very similar to "The
Right Stuff" and pretty much picks up where that book leaves off and goes
through the Apollo 11 mission.
