Library News and Notes by MsLibraryLady Dahill
Save the Day!
Books and poetry speak about social change and society. Here are exciting events for you, your students and their families
1. Good afternoon, educators! I would like to cordially invite you to an afternoon at the NYPL's Celeste Auditorium on Saturday, April 2nd at 2pm celebrating National Poetry Month. We will be focusing on ways to make poetry accessible to students using the public library's resources. NYC educators are eligible for 1 hour PD credit if registered in advance. Please register at: http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2016/04/02/libsalon-poetry-month-celebration
Light refreshments will be served. Hope to see you there!
2.Gentrification is an important issue for all New Yorkers! Ed Hamilton's book The Chintz Age explores this in our era @ The New York Public Library's Mullenberg Library 209 West 23rd Street May 12 5:30-6:30 Community Room (For more information speak to Linda Herzog who is friends with this author!)
Summary from Amazon: Fiction. Just as Soylent Green is people, so THE CHINTZ AGE is now. Everything is cheaper and chintzier than in the past, from consumer products to culture itself. Our great cities, and, in particular, New York, are being transformed as we speak, as rising rents squeeze out the artists and bohemians who honed and burnished the city's glittering cutting edge. So should we look backward in teary-eyed nostalgia for the glorious past, or grit our teeth and move forward, accepting the inevitability of change in order to carve out a place for ourselves in this Brave New New York? This book of gritty urban fairy tales represents a heartfelt prayer for the future of the arts in New York, as well as a blueprint for a moral and spiritual resistance to the forces of cultural philistinism.
In seven stories and a novella, Ed Hamilton takes on this clash of cultures between the old and the new, as his characters are forced to confront their own obsolescence in the face of this rapidly surging capitalist juggernaut. Ranging over the whole panorama of New York neighborhoods—from the East Village to Hell's Kitchen, and from the Bowery to Washington Heights—Hamilton weaves a spellbinding web of urban mythology. Punks, hippies, beatniks, squatters, junkies, derelicts, and anarchists—the entire pantheon of urban demigods—gambol through a grungy subterranean Elysium of dive bars, cheap diners, flophouses, and shooting galleries, searching for meaning and a place to make their stand.

STEM INSTITUTE OVERVIEW
The NYC Department of Education is committed to working with school leaders and teachers to build their capacity in, and develop a shared understanding of, high quality STEM education. The STEM Institutes serve to provide professional learning opportunities to schools in their efforts to identify and develop a STEM focused approach to learning that supports student achievement. With generous support from the GE Foundation and CS4All partners, the NYCDOE is excited to offer the third STEM Institute, for teacher teams of 2 to 3 educators.
During the three-day Spring STEM Institute, which will take place from Tuesday, April 26th to Thursday, April 28th, 2016, teacher teams will have an opportunity to:
- Develop a shared understanding of the important features of STEM and computer science education
- Develop an awareness of approaches to STEM and computer science education
- Build their leadership capacity to support STEM and computer science education within their school communities
- Begin to build partnerships with other schools with similar interests to support your STEM and computer science initiative
Offerings will include hands-on, interactive sessions in robotics, computer science, urban gardening, engineering, solar energy, design thinking and more. Eligible teachers and supervisors who attend the full Institute will receive 15 hours of per session. Teachers review Vacancy Circular # 451. Supervisors review Vacancy Circular # 452
Please note: As this is a paid professional development opportunity and we do not offer childcare and children will not be allowed at the Institute.
Registration Closes: April 8th, 2016
