Village of Secrets: Defying the Nazis in Vichy France The Resistance Quartet Book 2Harper - From the author of the new york times bestseller a train in Winter comes the absorbing story of a French village that helped save thousands hunted by the Gestapo during World War II—told in full for the first time. Le chambon-sur-lignon is a small village of scattered houses high in the mountains of the Ardèche, one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of Eastern France.
Many of those they protected were orphaned children and babies whose parents had been deported to concentration camps. With unprecedented access to newly opened archives in france, britain, and Germany, and interviews with some of the villagers from the period who are still alive, Caroline Moorehead paints an inspiring portrait of courage and determination: of what was accomplished when a small group of people banded together to oppose their Nazi occupiers.
During the second world war, freemasons, the inhabitants of this tiny mountain village and its parishes saved thousands wanted by the Gestapo: resisters, OSS and SOE agents, communists, and Jews. A thrilling and atmospheric tale of silence and complicity, Village of Secrets reveals how every one of the inhabitants of Chambon remained silent in a country infamous for collaboration.
Village of Secrets: Defying the Nazis in Vichy France The Resistance Quartet Book 2 - Yet it is also a story about mythmaking, and the fallibility of memory. A major contribution to wwii history, illustrated with black-and-white photos, and pays tribute to a group of heroic individuals, most of them women, Village of Secrets sets the record straight about the events in Chambon, for whom saving others became more important than their own lives.

Chapter books and literature circles make reading instruction come to life, providing students with the chance to have discourse about what they are reading. Students get the chance to become fully immersed in a text, and develop critical thinking skills that take them beyond the basic text questions.
This is all great…but how do you make all this happen for struggling readers? How do you get students to interact on grade-level texts when they are significantly below grade-level expectations?
Here are some tricks I’m using with great results with my fourth graders as we read Time Warp Trio: It’s all Greek to Me.
1. Build Excitement
A mystery bag is a great way to build suspense for the story you are about to read.
For our story, I found some items that were related to the text. We pulled them out one at a time on the day we introduced the text, and students used them to make predictions. The last item in the mystery bag is the actual book, and students get a chance to see the cover and make more predictions.
As we read the text and encounter items in the bag, students will squeal, “Wow! That was in the mystery bag! It’s on page 14!” It’s even better to hear the sheer excitement and exclamations of “I knew it!” when predictions come to life.
2. Find a Recording
When working with struggling readers, finding readable texts with conversation-starting content can be hard.
In years past, it has required that I to do a lot of reading aloud. I’m pretty confident my voice begins to sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher after a while because my students totally zone out, so this year I invested in an Audible account. I was able to find the text we were reading for less than $3, and I’m able to access it from my school laptop.
The recording features playbacks where we can revisit tricky spots, it picks up right where we left off so we can begin reading the next day, and my students love the way the reader gives each character a unique voice and personality that comes to life in the reading.
3. Collect Data
Encouraging struggling readers to participate can be a challenge, especially in a small group setting where one or two students can sometimes monopolize a conversation.
I lean on a literature circle evolution sheet (pictured above) to help me collect data about participation, target skills, and identify students who need extra help, whether by bringing them into conversation or helping them stay on track and complete their work.
This ensures that the literature circle experience meets the specific needs of everyone, and that each student has their moment to shine.
Struggling readers often know that they are struggling, so finding ways to celebrate risk-taking, growth mindset, and participation is important.
Since we’re currently studying Greek mythology, we choose a student to be the god or goddess of the day as part of our daily closure. We celebrate their perseverance, participation, and penchant for thinking outside the box.
The chosen one leaves with a badge and a crown they get to proudly wear for the rest of the day. It has been so fun to see the staff buy into it as well, stopping students in the lunch room to ask our “gods” about their reading life and praising them for a job well done.
5. Teach Reading for Enjoyment
There is nothing quite like relaxing with a good book, but for struggling readers, reading often becomes more of a chore. It’s already hard enough, but in our effort to facilitate instruction we compound that difficulty, asking students to answer questions, write responses, and make connections to text constantly. In the process, we often neglect to celebrate the importance of enjoying literature just for entertainment’s sake.
My students’ response to reading has changed simply by giving them a small portion of time each week to sit back and enjoy the story. It has increased participation and students’ willingness to work through the classwork on other days.
You can easily provide that same outlet for your own students. So, run to your book room! Pick out a good text and get to enjoying a chapter books with all the students in your class.

Last week I attended the 4th annual Toronto Tea Festival. There were a lot of great vendors and tons of things I wanted to take home with me. I ended up buying way more than I should have, here are some of the things that caught my eye.
The Wall Tea Infuser, glass mug that allows you to see the beautiful infusion in your cup, and features a wall to keep the leaves out of your mouth.

This past weekend I got the chance to attend the 4th annual Toronto Tea Festival. I spent the day surrounded by tea, tea wares and tea nerds and it was amazing. The festival is held each year at the Toronto Reference Library and this was my 3rd year in attendance. In addition to the many fantastic vendors selling everything from: tea, to pots and cups to steep your tea, to books on tea, to cookies to enjoy with your tea. There were beautiful tea ceremonies from different cultures, presentations on different aspects of tea and the tea industry, and even a tea tasting competition.
On Saturday I arrived at 10am; I had my ticket, my schedule, and a travel mug with my morning steep in hand. I first did a round getting a quick idea of what the vendors had to offer. Wanting to allow myself a chance to think about what I was going to purchase (instead of spending all my money at once), I headed over to see the Chinese tea ceremony.
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean tea ceremonies were performed multiple times throughout the day with a quick explanation of the tools involved and their purpose, and followed by a quick Q&A period. The ceremonies were beautifully done and a great peek into traditions from these cultures that most of us are not exposed to in our day to day lives.
A great addition to the schedule this year was the Tea tasting competition. The competition, accessible to people with any level of knowledge about tea, added a fun and interactive element to the festival. Contestants tasted different teas attempting to identify not only what kind of tea they were drinking but also the country of origin.
Later in the afternoon, after attending some presentations given by incredibly knowledgeable and interesting speakers, I headed back out to the vendors to do some shopping. There was so much tea to sniff and sample that I quickly got overwhelmed and was at risk of buying way too much. The venue had filled up with people and getting a good look at all the vendors was harder this time around. It was great to see the turnout and that so many people are interested in tea. The Reference Library is great venue, but I think that a bigger location is needed to give the attendees a little more room and ease while enjoying the festival. In the end I chose a collection of teas that I am very excited to try; stay tuned for reviews.
Whether you are already well versed in the world of tea, or new to it and hoping to learn more, a tea festival will give you the chance to further explore the world of tea surrounded by others just as passionate as yourself.

By Ben Sawyer
OK so I'm not really a gamer. I live for spades and backgammon on the net, and I still play the three sample holes I got with an msn disk a few years back, I broke my joystick on a training copy of Fighter Ace but that's about it. But one night, a few weeks back Digital Mill in Portland hosted the November NetPM and I walked away with a copy of Ben Sawyer's "Monster Gaming."
He had talked about how gaming can be very useful for training people for real life situations, much in the same way a simulator can. I had hoped Monster Gaming would be a book along those lines. It's not.
And yet it is. Monster Gaming is an extraordinary primer on Gaming with robust tidbits on everything from the gaming hacks to how to build or buy a really tasty computer to how to host a stylin event. When it doesn't explain, it gives ample references really good websites.
It turns out that to be a really good gamer you have to have a clue about how to use your computer. Monster Gaming will give even a novice computer user a clue on how to better use their box. And if a person is already well on the way to Monster Gamer status then this book is an outstanding resource.
My only regret is that this book is not published on the web or at least came with an electronic copy on CD with links included in the text. With it's plethora of urls and other resources it would seem ready made for it.
I rate the book a 4.3. It's very readable. Mr. Sawyer has a writing style that brings the reader into his office for a good chat about gaming. He obviously knows and loves his subject. And as I said it's a marvelous resource. Every time I opened the book I found out something that I wanted to know.


This review looks at the Arkansas Waterfalls Guidebook by Tim Ernst. If you are looking for a guide to a vast number of waterfalls in the Natural State this book is an indispensable tool. The book contains reams of information on waterfalls from those you can view from your car to tough bushwhack hikes that take you far from well-traveled roads. This book contains something for every waterfall enthusiast.
Tim Ernst is the author of the Arkansas Waterfalls Guidebook. Tim is a legend in the areas of outdoor photography and conservation. He has lived in and explored the Ozarks for many years, and has received numerous awards for his photography and wilderness conservation efforts. His nature photography has been published in many popular magazines over the years. He has also won numerous awards for his volunteer service to numerous conservation efforts. If you would like to read more about the author I have included a link to his bio here.
The Arkansas Waterfalls Guidebook is currently in its second edition. The first edition contained information on 133 spectacular waterfalls in Arkansas. The second edition adds 74 waterfalls to the list, which now contains over 200 waterfalls in the Natural State.
This book is much more than a collection of waterfall photos. The book lists each waterfall by region and alphabetical order. This makes finding the waterfall you are searching for in the book very easy. The listings for each waterfall include maps and GPS coordinates for parking areas, relevant turns or other features on the trails, and the location of the falls.
In addition to GPS coordinates, the listings include maps with many including turn-by-turn instructions to help your navigation to the parking areas and trailheads. The instructions include odometer readings between road turns to give you additional help to find the parking areas. This is invaluable when you realize that many of these waterfalls are in wilderness areas located off forest roads in the Buffalo River National Park and the Ozark National Forest. These roads can be very rough in the rocky countryside of the Ozarks. Many of the roads are only marked with Forest Service signs denoting the road number; for example FS 1430. These signs can be confusing for those unfamiliar with being in the wilderness so the maps and GPS coordinates are a welcome addition to help you find your destination.
My Review of the Arkansas Waterfalls Guidebook
I rate this book highly because we have used the Arkansas Waterfalls Guidebook for several years to help guide us to the waterfalls you see us posting on this site. The book is well written with detailed tips, GPS coordinates, maps, and directions to get you to some amazing waterfalls in Arkansas.
This book has become an invaluable tool when we are doing research and planning hikes to new waterfall destinations. It’s no secret that we love chasing waterfalls and this book is with us on every hike into the backcountry chasing these amazing sights.
The book also has information on the best times to view these waterfalls, which is something many people don’t understand. Most waterfalls in Arkansas are not fed by springs with constant water flow. This makes it important to know not just where the waterfalls are located but also the weather in the area. Spring and Fall are the optimum times to chase waterfalls in Arkansas, due to the chances for more substantial rainfall in those seasons. Visiting these waterfalls within a few days of substantial rainfall will greatly enhance the beauty of these natural wonders.
This book also includes precautionary statements about things you should know before you head out into the wilderness in search of some of these waterfalls. Although a number of these waterfalls can be reached and viewed from the roadside or after a minimal hike, others are nestled miles from roads and civilization. Being prepared will keep you safe and prevent you from becoming another wilderness rescue, or potentially worse.
Many of the waterfalls listed, especially the most spectacular, are located in areas with high bluffs that can be dangerous if not treated with respect. Areas around the falls become slick with moisture on the rocks and footing can be treacherous. This is not meant to discourage anyone from visiting these falls. It is meant to stress that a healthy dose of preparation and caution is advised when in these areas.
For example, Hemmed In Hollow Falls is the tallest waterfall between the Rocky and Appalachian mountain ranges of the US. It is 209 feet tall and the water rushes over a bluff and falls upon the rocks below. It is a stunning experience to stand below the falls and see them for yourself. Many people can’t resist the temptation to see this amazing waterfall. The trail to the falls is a little over 2.5 miles each way with a little over 1200′ of elevation change. The trail is steep and slick in spots so good shoes, suitable clothing, and plenty of water to stay hydrated are essential, especially in warmer weather.
My rating for this book comes from several years of using the book in chasing the many waterfalls you may have seen posted on our site. I rate this book are a must-have tool for anyone who loves chasing waterfalls in Arkansas. If you love nature and hiking this is a must-have tool in your backpack to find and experience the grandeur and beauty of the wilderness in the beautiful Arkansas Ozarks.

The Ward Library
In 1883 Basil Champneys converted a row of brick warehouses adjacent to the river into the University Museum of Classical Archaeology. Champneys created a series of top-lit classical galleries linked through grand porticos to create a glorious sequence of spaces.
One hundred years later, the grade II listed building was taken over by Peterhouse and converted into a college library. However one room remained unconverted and unused: the old central gallery of the museum. Freeland Rees Roberts was asked to bring the space into service for the Ward Library, by opening up the currently blocked portico that led from the present reading room. The gallery was ideal for library use, being top-lit by continuous glass panels along the entire length of the roof. The College wanted it to house 20,000 books and 20 readers, with up to10 computer spaces. In addition we were asked to excavate tons of soil from below the Ward Library to create new college storage facilities and to redecorate the original Ward Library. The award winning alterations were completed in 2005.

"fletcher and the falling leaves" and "fletcher and the springtime blossoms"
by julia rawlinson
illustrated by tiphanie beeke
it's a rare treat when we find books that both elijah and i enjoy. these are two that were found at the library...i think we've checked them out at least three times. they're situated quite close to the curious george books so inevitably, if we go home with one of those, we most likely will bring one (or both) of these home too. it's probably about time i added them to our own library, i guess. they are beautifully illustrated with wonderful prose...i can't wait until the winter and summer stories join the collection.
"curious george" (the original) by h.a. rey
speaking of curious george, elijah loves this little story too. while he likes any and all stories about this adventurous monkey, nine times out of ten, he will choose the original book over all the others. i'm not quite sure why...but i find it interesting. i think it's great that this book was published in the 1940s and it's still read and cherished today...
"hansel and diesel" by david gordon
this is an updated version of the old fairytale, hansel and gretel...except in this story, the protagonists are trucks out looking for fuel in the junkyard instead of children out looking for food in the forest. elijah loves it...and got a copy of his own for christmas. the author has also written "the three little rigs" and "the ugly truckling" that we keep meaning to check out from the library but haven't yet. someday soon...
"smash crash" by david shannon, loren long, david gordon and jon scieszka
co-authored by david gordon (of hansel and diesel fame), this is a perennial favorite. there is a whole series of these books out, but this one is elijah's favorite, no question. thank you baba for this wonderful addition to our library (it was a present for his second birthday from my mom)!
and what about me? well...i've got quite the stack going. included in the bedside pile are:
"the sweetness at the bottom of the pie" by alan bradley (a mystery...might be on my 2010 favorites list)
"at home in mitford" by jan karon (a reread that i just can't put down!)
"a homemade life" by molly wizenburg (haven't started this one yet but looking forward to it!)
"animal, vegetable, miracle" by barbara kingsolver (started this but put it down in favor of "sweetness"...will pick it up again soon...it's good!)
"walking on water: reflections on faith and art" by madeleine l'engle (my all-time favorite author)

Web Survey Bibliography
Title Ethical issues in the documentary data analysis of Internet posts and archives
Author Murray, C.
Access date 12.05.2004
Abstract The documentary analysis of email posts and archives for qualitative research has been outlined elsewhere (Murray & Sixsmith, 1998a; Murray and Sixsmith, in press). Although there is an increase in the number of studies being conducted on listserv and newsgroup material in health research, this has not always been accompanied by a careful, in-depth consideration of the concomitant ethical issues. Therefore, this article outlines the ethical considerations surrounding this form of research, including issues of: accessing voices, consent, privacy, anonymity, interpretation, and ownership and authorship of research material.

Meet the Author: An Enlightening Quiche
Wed, Jan 18, 2017 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
Two headstrong women in their forties coming from different moral directions clash within the confines of a French-Canadian mill town in northern Rhode Island's Blackstone Valley. Their narratives relate how an heirloom quiche recipe and baking rivalry redress misconceptions, misdeeds, and maliciousness which wreak havoc on those caught in the crossfire of a tragedy precipitated by reckless conduct.
Eva Pasco retired from elementary education and then rekindled her passion for storytelling. Her two novels are in the genre of contemporary women's fiction and are distinguished for their character-driven plots which feature protagonists who plunge the depths of despair and suffer the consequences in their darkest hours, prior to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. In addition to her two novels, Ms. Pasco has written memoirs and essays about the 1960's and her native state of Rhode Island.
Free and open to all.
Books will be available for sale and signing by the author.

Last update: 2014


Over the past weeks I’ve really noticed that minimalism is becoming my standard mindset. It’s an integrated part of my life, sort of an automatic pilot for me. Over time I’ve already shared some book tips about minimalism, the book from the Minimalists, or this one from Jelle Derckx and even a more practical one from Marie Kondo. But today I’d like to add one to the list, since I think more books about minimalism are actually better (how ironic, right?). From each book I learn more about the mindset and lifestyle. Today I’d like to recommend to you: The Joy of Less by Francine Jay.
Minimalism as an integrated part of my life
My pile of stuff is getting smaller and smaller. I notice that I keep on asking myself: does this add value to my life? An examples: a few days ago I had this party and you got this free glass with your ticket. I used that glass the whole night, but afterwards I gave it to someone who does seemed happy with it. As soon as I got it I thought: I don’t need this in my life after this party. Every item I get or want to buy I assess and it’s really become a habit. I do think that grows over time, but I also think that when you have the tools for it (tips, experiences from others, etc.) this becomes easier. And that’s why I am sharing this book today.
The Joy of Less by Francine Jay
The Joy of Less is a book about minimalism that has it all. In the beginning Francine Jay talks about minimalism as a whole and the further you come in the book she also gives you practical ways to get started yourself. She starts with the why and then gives you the how. Ideal! After you get to know more about the philosophy, it can be hard to start yourself. Francine talks about STREAMLINE, a practical guide to minimalism.
STREAMLINE consists of 10 steps. Start over, Trash/Treasure/Transfer, Reason for each item, Everything in its place, All surfaces clear, Modules, Limits, If one comes in—one goes out, Narrow it down, and Everyday maintenance. After this STREAMLINE-method, she talks about each room in a house and how to declutter each one. Another practical part. The last part is more about the philosophy again. How are you going to keep this lifestyle going? You look beyond the stuff. Can you declutter your schedule for example? And what I specifically liked about this part is that she talks about the environmental benefits of minimalism as well!
Part 1; The philosophy of minimalism
Part 2; The STREAMLINE-method
Part 3; How to declutter the different rooms in your house
Part 4; Minimalism beyond your house
How minimalism has helped me so far
I get this question a lot: what are the benefits to minimalism for you? It’s a hard question I think, but my answer would be: room. Room for things that really matter. It can be confronting sometimes, because you are basically forced to look at your life and ask yourself: what do I find important? That can be a hard journey which still gives me the chills sometimes. But once you’ve found what your main values are, you can focus on those and leave all the clutter behind. The stuff you don’t need, the relationships that don’t add value to your life, the mental freedom. Minimalism gives me room!
‘He who knows he has enough is rich’ – Francine Jay
The Joy of Less by Francine Jay is a must read if you ask me: it’s again a little different from the books I’ve already shared and so it adds a different spectrum to the minimalist lifestyle, especially the STREAMLINE-method.
Have you read The Joy of Less already?

Title: The Color Purple For this book talk, I read Alice WalkerÕs The Color Purple which is a work of fiction. I came to choose it because I saw the movie version which was excellent, so it inspired me to read it. This book focuses on the life of the main character, Celie, who is a 14-year-old girl at the beginning of the story. She is raped by her father and then forced to marry Mr.___ who is much older than she. She always calls him simply Mr.___ because she does not love him at all, and she is afraid of him, too. She becomes a submissive and quiet woman, and her life is grim and sad. Her sister, Nettie, who she loves the most, is kicked out of their home, and they cannot meet or speak to each other again. Mr.___ does not love Celie at all and just wants her to work and take care of his children since he is already in love with another woman, Shug Avery. Shug, who is a local singer, falls ill and comes to his house to recuperate. Thanks to CelieÕs care, Shug recovers soon, and they become very close friends and lovers. Shug protects Celie from Mr.___Õs abuse and inspires her with the courage to speak up. After Shug comes to her house, Celie feels happy for the first time in her life, but she still worries about her sister, Nettie. With ShugÕs help, she finds out that Mr.___ has been hiding NettieÕs letter, so Celie becomes very upset. She finally stands up to Mr.___ and leaves his home to pursue her own life. While She stays in ShugÕs house, she learns to make money by making pants and obtains her own home. Now, all she hopes is to meet Nettie again. According to NettieÕs letters, She has been a missionary in Africa, and now she plans to come back to America to see Celie. However, Celie receives a telegram which says the ship Nettie left Africa in has been sunk by torpedoes. Celie refuses to believe Nettie is dead, so she continues to write letters to her hoping to see her again. For the prospective reader, I wonÕt tell you whether Celie meets Nettie again or what happens to her later. The title of this book, The Color Purple, refers to the color of the dress which Celie wants to buy but cannot because of Mr.___Õs suppression of her in the beginning. However, It becomes the color of the pants Celie makes for other people later on symbolizing CelieÕs spiritual resolve. This title refers to CelieÕs change in her character because it is a symbol of control at first, but it indicates her ability to make her own choice at the end. It is also closely related to the theme of this book, which is a womanÕs personal struggle for freedom in a society where African Americans, especially women, were looked upon as inferior. The movie version, which was made in 1985 and received 11 Academy Award nominations, is also great, but there are some differences. Notably, the movie cuts out many scenes and stories, and the most obvious differences are the omission of many scenes about Nettie and the other people with her in Africa. As a result, Nettie does not seem to be a central character in the later part of the movie. Even though it is somewhat difficult to follow because the movie also cuts out many stories about the other characters, it helps a lot to understand its backgrounds. Therefore, I would recommend that you read the book first for these reasons. The style of this book is very unusual because it consists of 90 letters written between Celie and Nettie. Their letters tell us two separate stories, but they are loosely connected. Because Celie is not well educated, her letters contain many misspelled words, which are sometimes illegible but also keeps the readers interested. The most impressive part in this book is when Celie speaks up against Mr. ___. She says to him (and I quote) "You a lowdown dog is whatÕs wrong. ItÕs time to leave you and enter into the Creation. And your dead body just the welcome mat I need. You took my sister, Nettie away from me. And she was the only person love me in the world."(end quote) CelieÕs life becomes completely different after this major change, which shows why we have to fight against injustice in our lives. I enjoyed this book very much, and I would recommend it to every one because I think it is one of the best books I have read.


A business book about the power of thinking like a nipper? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on. Rattles too, probably. But don’t spit your dummy out just yet. The foreword for this book, Little Wins, is written by Sir Richard Branson; he knows a thing or two about winning. The author is Paul Lindley, who built the baby-and-toddler food company Ella’s Kitchen in 2005 into a $100m brand.
So what’s it all about? In short, it’s about reconnecting to the openness, fearlessness and creativity we all have as toddlers but lose touch with through the tricky school years (wah!). Instead of rushing to grow up, we would do well to “grow down”, says Lindley — not in the sense of throwing tantrums and behaving like brats, but of relearning how to act e ectively on our creative impulses. Lindley wants to reboot the way we think — and his book is a well-researched manifesto to encourage precisely that.
Little Wins — The Huge Power of Thinking Like a Toddler, by Paul Lindley, is published in spring by Portfolio Penguin

The last day of Pompeii is Karl Pavlovich Bryullov. 456.5 x 651 cm
An outstanding master of historical paintings and portraits, Karl Pavlovich Bryullov (1799-1852) is a vivid representative of the painting of romanticism that painted the era of the first half of the XlX century. He was often accompanied by the epithets “Brilliant Karl”, “Karl the Magnificent”, rarely to whom such glory and recognition of contemporaries fell out. Having received an art education in Russia, Bryullov left to improve painting mastery in Italy.
About the plot of the picture "The Last Day of Pompeii"
The plot of the picture "The Last Day of Pompeii" taken from ancient history - the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius and the collapse of the city of Pompeii (II century BC). The omnipotence of blind rock is a favorite theme of the art of romanticism. The death of people, their confusion and horror before the impending collapse of the city were conveyed by the artist in an interesting and complex multi-figure composition.
With theatrical spectacular poses and gestures, various facial expressions, fluttering draperies of clothes, the painter shows the whole dramatic nature of the scene, however, despite the impending death, the heroes do not lose their beauty and greatness of spirit even in suffering. This was the philosophy and aesthetics of romanticism. Bryullov's painting with the inherent rapture of the beauty of the form and the solemnity of bright color contributes to the transfer of the pathetic mood of the unfolding action.
After the execution of this monumental canvas, the artist gained European fame. Having moved to Italy at the end of his life, he finally settled there and became an honorary member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Florence, Bologna and the Academy of Saint Luke in Rome.


What’s our idea of a good time on a Friday night? Spending it in a library of course! We’ve all dreamed of spending an entire night leafing through manuscripts and archives, discovering hidden treasures from our literary past.
Or maybe it’s just us.
But clearly, the New York Public Library is on the same page [pun intended]. They recently announced an event called Find the Future to celebrate the Library’s Centennial. On Friday, May 20th, 500 invited guests will spend the night at the 5th Avenue branch. All night.
Here is a link to the video with lots of fast cuts and shots of library doors, which doesn’t explain all that much while making you really, really want to apply.
With all the book alternatives around these days (iPads, 3D televisions and basically anything that you can’t use during take-off and landing), we’re on board with any initiative that gives prominence to paper. But it’s not all unplugged. Participants will follow clues on smartphones and laptops to find inspiring items from the Library’s collection and then write about the item itself and the experience of searching for it. All of this will be wrapped up and compiled into a new book that will be published. It is billed as a book that builds on the Library’s past to inspire the future.
Don’t feel left out if you don’t make the cut. The rest of us are welcome to participate on the library’s website starting Saturday, May 21st. We’ll just have to spend our Friday night doing something boring and unimaginative like dinner and a movie. [Sigh].
