1. Your civic organization is sponsoring a community event with the theme, “Spring Holidays Around the World.” The organization needs your help in finding the following: a. Spring festival traditions from a variety of countries b. Traditional spring festival foods and their recipes c. Spring festival games or pastimes.
I browsed the selection of the left and found Nation and World topic.  Choosing the Junior Worldmark Encyclopedia of World Holidays,  clicked on that and found a Calendar of Selected Holidays from the Table of contents.  I found that by going to the Index of this book a person can find all the festivals.  I also went to Junior Worldmark Encyclopedia of Foods and Recipes of the World, 2012.  They actually had recipes to use!
I also used the Junior Worldmark Encyclopedia of World Holidays to find games and pasttimes. 

I used the advance search to find recently added 2012 titles.  I was surprised by how many new titles there were.  I decided to look at 1990's: Music.  Very entertaining search.
