Join Meredith Watts and Jeff Pearcy as they take a look at the Our Trans Family photography project on Wednesday, March 29th at 6:30 p.m. in the Village Center. The project was conceived as a way to add a human dimension to the challenges, rights, and civil liberties of persons who transition to a gender identity other than that assigned to them at birth. The photos are of trans persons in families and networks of affection that give them support and love.  Community discussion will follow the presentation.  

This program is in partnership with Shorewood Senior Resource Center .

I have a couple favorite places where I read. There's the chair in the living room with an ottoman, so I can kick up my feet as I balance the newspaper.  And there's the end of the couch, where I can prop my heavy hard cover book on the arm and get good sunlight by day and good lamp light at night. 

 

The Shorewood Public Library is a destination in our community and a perfect place to read. As of this month, all of the lounge chairs in our adult area have been replaced. The new chairs are bright and inviting, with a firm cushion and good lumbar support. A couple have a tablet arm on one side to rest your book, beverage or phone.

The ten chairs in our periodicals reading room were purchased in memory of Harry J. Onufrock by his wife, Betty. Harry was a regular in this area of the library, reading the Wall Street Journal and Barron's on his weekly visits.

 

And just a few days ago, the two well-used love seats in the children's area were replaced. Within an hour, each new couch was filled with an adult reading to a child; the coffee table filled with a stack of books that would come next.

 

So maybe you'll find a spot by a window, or facing other readers. Perhaps you'll curl your feet up on the chair or read aloud to your favorite young person. However you do it, we look forward to seeing you reading in the library soon!
