One of Boyer's favorites is "Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type," by Doreen Cronin. In addition to reading children's books, Boyer enjoys fantasies, her favorite authors include Robert Jordan, Anne McCaffrey and Piers Anthony. Antho-ny. Boyer will be leaving the library and Pleasant Grove this fall to attend Utah State University. She's excited to start college. Undecided in her major, she has an interest in English, Drama, and Literature. When not working or reading, Boyer enjoys doing "normal teenage things" such as hanging with her friends. Rebekah Sykes is the library's newest page. She's been working at the library since April of this year. Working at the library is a perfect job for Rebekah, who's quiet demeanor is conducive to a library environment. "Rebekah adds a calmness calm-ness to the library. She's extremely efficient," said Harrison. "I love to read, I love the library," said Sykes. A senior sen-ior at UVSC and studying Elementary Education, Sykes feels right at home shelving books in the children's chil-dren's section. As she's shelving books, she often helps young patrons locate books to take home and enjoy. "I love working with children chil-dren and showing them how wonderful reading can be," she said. One of Sykes' favorite children's books is "Stand Tall Mary Lou Melon" by Patti Lovell. She found it hard to choose her favorite adult books. Some of her favorites include Alex Hai-ley's Hai-ley's "Roots" and Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." When not studying or working at the library, Rebekah Sykes enjoys camping and hiking in the great outdoors. Although she admits that being inside the air-conditioned library is especially pleasant pleas-ant in the summer.

Visiting Lindon historical sites Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part two-part series on Lindon historic sites. By Linda Butler Old buildings and sites often hold an intriguing attraction. They seem to be steeped in stories. Even some of the trees seem to be telling tales of times past as one visits Lindon's historical sites. Stories of the past can come to life when visiting Lindon Lin-don City's twelve historical sites and two memorial sites. Visiting these unique places can be a delightful way to spend an afternoon or evening. Each site is marked by a distinctive dis-tinctive metal plaque that gives an interesting history of each site. Many of the sites are near Lindon's city center, but driving is necessary. Several Sev-eral of the sites are on busy roads; please exercise caution with young children. Following is a suggested itinerary. Begin the historical tour at the Gill-man Gill-man Farm - 584 W. Gillman Lane. Gill-man Gill-man Lane is a small quiet lane on the north side of Los Hermanos restaurant. James Henry Gillman bought 10 acres of land in 1891 and established his family farm at this location. The original home burned and in 1903-4, his son John built a two room home on the property. The home has been expanded and today the fourth generation of the Gillman family works this farm. The next three sites are all located near the intersection of 400 North and State St. It's best to park and walk to each of them. The William Kirk Home, now the Pizza Factory, sits on the southeast corner cor-ner of 400 North and State St. Built in the 1880's in the late Victorian Gothic style and surrounded by tree-lined pathways path-ways and gardens, the Kirk home was a showplace in the community; A photo on the site's plaque shows the beauty of this fine home. The home was purchased by Lester West, who removed the fancy gables and top story and remodeled the home. It was used as a boys' home and is now a popular pizza restaurant. Walk north and cross 400 North to the Cullimore Mercantile. The first building at this site was a butcher shop and store, built by Orville Cobbley in the late 1890's. James Cullimore purchased the shop around 1900 and built a large store. Cullimore Mercantile provided everything the residents might need -from medicine to machinery, hardware, clothes, and food. This was also the site of Lindon's first Post Office. The store was sold in 1937 and is currently unoccupied. unoc-cupied. Walk across State Street to the Los Hermanos restaurant which is the site of the Lindon Cider Mill. Built by Lewis Robinson in 1857, the Cider Mill provided cider for residents - to drink while it was sweet and to use as vinegar the following summer. With no nearby water source, the Cider Mill was powered pow-ered by horse and mule teams hitched to a main cog. Apples were crushed by the press and the cider dripped into barrels. Travel east on 400 North to the next three sites. The Alfred Harper House, 125 W. 400 North, was constructed in 1876, and called "The Big House." It was built with honeycomb limestone quarried quar-ried from American Fork Canyon. The property also had a well and a dipper that passers by were welcome to use to quench their thirst, which was surely appreciated on hot summer days. This home was also a gathering place for many ward parties and activities. Continue east for another block to the corner of 400 North and Main St. The southeast corner is the site of the Lindon Ward Chapel. The chapel consisted consist-ed of a main hall and an upper gallery that could be divided with curtains into classrooms. The chapel was torn down in 1941 and a private residence is now at this location. However the iron fence and many of the large pine trees remain from the first chapel built in Lindon. Walk across the street to the Joseph Wadley Farm at 67 E. 400 North. Joseph Wadley constructed this home on 32 acres of land in 1882. The home was styled after an English Country Manor, surrounded by trees and formal gardens. In 1988 the property was purchased by Wadley's grandson, who restored the home and surrounding buildings. Now the Wadley Farm is a delightful spot for receptions, and business and family gatherings. It is run by a fifth generation descendent of Joseph Wadley. The tour of historical Lindon will continue con-tinue in next week's edition.
