One of my favorite places to go when I was a child was Rosenberg Library.  If you haven't been lately I encourage you to drop by.  They have several wonderful exhibits and it's a great way to spend the afternoon.  Currently, there is a exhibit on Texas A&M University at Galveston - A Celebration of the Past 50 Years, The World at War - Memories of World War I and World War II, and a Sacred Spaces of Churches exhibit.  The Texas History Center also has a history of tourism exhibit featuring enlarged vintage postcards and images from the 1900 storm.  There is another exhibit that reviews a little history of Galveston too.  Due to an impatient 9-year-old I didn't get to read everything but I plan to viist again soon. 

I was also thrilled to order a copy of a calendar cover from the Galveston Tribune dating back to 1901 from the Texas History Center.  It reads "Galveston was not born to die - Greater and Grander than Ever."  I first saw this calendar cover while watching "The Great Storm" documentary at Pier 21 Theater and I have always wanted a copy.  It shows the resilence of Galvestonians and it makes me proud to be a resident.

Stay cool and get out and enjoy Galveston.
