Students from Middleton High School participated in a Service Learning project at the library by helping to sort books for our book sales.
The Outreach Advisory Team held a two-day session in September for staff active in library programming to become equipped with the tools, resources, and information necessary to better serve the community outside of library branches. The Library was thankful to have guest speakers such as Liz McChesney, who graciously gave their time to share their knowledge on a variety of essential topics.
Sessions across both days included a discussion about the Library's strategic direction, thinking about outreach "outside the box," considering how we frame outreach with equity-based approaches, and how we can engage the community across different media.
Guests included:
Liz McChesney – Author, 2021 ALSC Distinguished Service Award and Partnership Consultant for Laundry Literacy Coalition, and Senior Advisor to Urban Libraries Council
Dr. Raquishela Stewart – Division Manager, Housing and Neighborhood Services / CharMeck311
Ryan Emmanuel – Community Coordinator, City of Charlotte

I found this little fellow in a marine antiques shop in Paris... he just 'jumped out' at me in the window :-) He can hold a tea light inside but he's tin so he gets very hot! Buying him involved learning how to pronounce 'grenouille' which is french for frog.

Learning to run the channels, use your hips, learn the holes, eddys, drops, listen to your coach. You can do this!
2 Months old now. Ramzi is getting bigger. This is his first time learning how to pose. Quite good for a baby :D
Ever since a pup, Taylor will sit and watch things to try and understand them. What is it? Does it affect me? Is it dangerous? Can I eat it? Once she has satisfied herself that it is harmless it is as if it is filed away for future reference. So canal barges are safe and she no longer barks at them. Not sure what it is here that caught her attention but it could be a bird or a piece of fluff!

Who Is Believer? Where They Reside? Are They Really?
My Dear Reverend Friends
Greetings
Will COP21 Answer ---Killing, Shooting, Looting, Migrating ----Terroring? Drought, Disaster, Hunger? Dignity, Rights, Peace, Justice, Equality? sasrai.com/cop21-have-or-have-not
First of all question may come
Do we really demand solution?
If so who should be the main actor?
Do the power holders agree to sacrifice their facilities and comfort?
Do the property holders reduce their consumption?
Do the corporate owners agreed to avoid unfair or environment and health hazardous profit making?
Do we all agree to feel proud with less consumption, less property owner, less salaried?
Do we dare to declare that Poorest are most Prestigious Person as she/he is exploiting nature less? I think this is the first step for the `Cultural Revolution’.
The Holy Father makes an urgent appeal to protect “our common home,” to People of all faiths and no faith. And he prescribes bringing “the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development”. Here, he advances the “worldwide ecological movement”, urges for `cultural revolution’.
I like to draw your attention to my thinking that could be described following point.
Who is believer or people of faith? Have we seen someone ignore undue profit, favor, facility, possession being a member of `people of faith’? Present life has become full of Lying, Cheating, Crooking, Deceiving, Exploiting, Flattering, Fornicating etc that breed Tsunami, Cyclone, Drought, Deluge that breed Crop, Deployment loss that breed Rootless, Homeless, Trafficking, Migrant that breed Killing.
There was a wise saying “Greed begets Sin, Sin begets Death” is not a assumption today. Now it’s a scientific truth. But who cares? Each one is running after Profit, Possession and Purchase. No matter someone dying or living, earth on the verge of doomsday.
Why earth community define them believer? Is it just or unjust? If we earth community define someone believer, she/he who acts like a nonbeliever it cannot be justice. Rather it will be an act of corruption promotion.
What are the Characteristics of the believer? Is there any set of indicators regarding believers doing, acting, living, consuming, purchasing, possessing etc. Do we need to declare and publish those again publicly? Does the mass people should specially the children should know clearly how they could be identified as believer or nonbeliever?
Who can certify someone as believer? Is it person him/herself or her/his community or her/his activity? Person declaring him/her believer could be a believer? Is it fair judgment?
Why someone should take them as believer? Based on someone’s saying/statement could we taken him/her as believer? There must be a system to be taken as someone as believer or nonbeliever. Could we establish the system? If not why we should go for classification? Each one is same.
Do the believers can do anything for own profit? I am not sure what the answer is. Unfortunately my observation, learning is people declared rich, big property occupant has little care for others rights, survival. Those rich are profiteer and never ashamed to be the owner of big property keeping other homeless, food less.
Do the believers can do anything for her/his Job Provider? May be person in believe shall say that someone cannot do anything in favor increasing the profit margin of her/his service provider. But what is practice. Person deployed in any firm do everything that increase the profit of the firm no matter that harm environment, ecology, humanity etc. If someone fails to follow the rule she/he will loose job.
Doesn’t the Consumption and Possession Addiction Dominate on the Faith? I am not sure how many corporate owners declared themselves as person of no faith or nonbeliever. But I am sure their employee never think other than the profit margin of the firm. They do earn more and more in exchange of values, belief, ethics, morality, civility or whatever a person obey or compelled to obey being a believer. In the same time they never feel guilty to those unwise, unethical, immoral actions. They believe this is her/his duty to do continue the job. The most highly educated person serving illegal profit her/his own job, comfort. This is also true they got educated by poorer tax and serve the rich to make undue profit.
Accordingly those corporate owners also distribute the preaching to their staffs and mass people sometimes to the students `never tell a lie’ `speak the truth’ `be sincere to your duty’ etc. They quote several preacher and scripture. They only provide advice or preaching but they never follow it. They completely for gotten service to nation,, nature, humanity etc. They got only one motto earn more and more, possess more and more. Sometimes comes to with some charity from which lion portion goes to the highly privileged class.
Unfortunately I am not clear why we should classified person of faith or no faith, believer or nonbeliever. Please be kind to make me clear.
