Come to the library to see our display on Angkor, the ancient city in Cambodia that was the central to the Khmer Empire a thousand years ago.  Scientists still aren’t sure what caused the demise of this thriving city that was home to a million people.  If you aren’t able to stop by the library you can read all about Angkor in the National Geographic article “Diving Angkor” that was published in July of 2009.
