Book of the Month: Solving the Puzzle Under the Sea

The Reading Public Schools Learning & Teaching Team selected "Solving the Puzzle Under the Sea" as our April Book of the Month. 

“Solving the Puzzle Under the Sea: Marie Tharp Maps the Ocean Floor” is a beautifully illustrated biography about scientist Marie Tharp and her efforts to map the seafloor.  This book shares her experiences as a female scientist in the 40s and 50s, and what she overcame to meet her goals.  Her process of mapping the seafloor contributed to the understanding of continental drift/plate tectonics that we still hold today.

We encourage you to visit the Reading Public Library or Whitelam Books and enjoy this great title.  Happy Reading!






































Did you know that the Learning & Teaching Book of the Month is shared with our schools in town?  Our goals with this outreach are; to provide opportunities for integrating the STEM themes with literacy features, to provide quality book titles to our schools, and build our outreach to the staff and our wider community.  We hope you will join us in sharing these great titles!
