FROM ANTHRAX TO ZIKA: EXPLORING PANDEMICS

Could Station Eleven really happen?
In
Station Eleven, a flu-like pandemic wipes out a significant portion of the Earth's population.
Dr. Michael LeMay of California State University-San Bernardino will lead a discussion covering pandemics of past centuries, how modern medicine is battling disease today, and what future threats we should be concerned about.
Thursday, April 5 at 6:30 p.m.

Shorewood High School students interpret Station Eleven in performance.
Modeled on the crew of actors and musicians in
Station Eleven, Shorewood's own traveling troupe of performers use original music, theater and a light show to explore the story and meaning of

Always Learning
At least a few times a week, you'll hear me say, "You just taught me something new!" I love learning, and I can't imagine a better place to work with that inclination.
I also realize how very important it is to engage staff in structured educational opportunities. In 2017, the Shorewood Public Library team members logged 214 hours of training, conferences and webinars. Learning things like CPR/AED skills, how to conduct digital storytimes, creating effective signage and coping with an active shooter situation.
I've just returned from the Public Library Association national conference and feel professionally energized, and inspired to help staff and patrons alike continue their life-long learning journeys.

A monthly update from the Friends of Shorewood Public Library
National Library Week
2018
National Library Week takes place April 8-14 this year making April the perfect time to get involved at the Shorewood Public Library. Our library is more than a place to borrow books. You can also meet friends, share opinions and ideas (such as by completing the
Library Strategic Plan Survey), attend a program - including the culminating events of Shorewood Reads! - and discuss important issues (such as race and racism at
Reading Race).
National Library Week 2018 marks the 60th anniversary of this national celebration sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and observed at libraries across the country. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate. Shorewood invites you to celebrate this month.
Click here to learn how.
The Friends of the Shorewood Library thank our staff, patrons and supporters. See you in April.

I am not usually a country music fan, but am impressed and intrigued by country star Kacey Musgraves' latest offering. Musgraves has made a name for herself by being a little outside the norm of Nashville, and this album shines with her unique brand of something other than straight country. Wry lyrics, self-deprecation, and pop-tropical stylings unite for a great album for early spring evenings.
Available March 30 on Hoopla and in April at the Library!
