It was a pleasure working with the Bethlehem Area Public Library to help bring the story of NMIH's TUG tractor to a new audience.
The Bethlehem Area Public Library, in partnership with the National Museum of Industrial History, is proud to present TUG!, a new Bethlehem Steel-themed children’s book by BAPL children’s librarian Catherine McCafferty.
TUG! is a picture book about a tow tractor that helped steelworkers by pulling buggies at Bethlehem Steel. After the last cast is poured, TUG is left alone at the steel mill, but soon learns that no matter how much Bethlehem might change, there is always more that he can do to help.
The book will be released on November 14, 2020, as part of the Last Cast celebration at the National Museum of Industrial History. Members of the Steelworkers Archive will help celebrate the book with a “Storytime with a Steelworker” as part of the day's events. Children will also be able to meet the real TUG that day, as the vehicle will be on display at NMIH.
