Read for the Record! – November 7, 2019
The World’s Largest Shared Reading Experience
Celebrate reading together and add your number to the 20 million who have shared the same book on the same day. Don’t have the book? Baker & Taylor does.
“This year, Jumpstart is celebrating our 14th anniversary of Read for the Record®with the book Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora. Jumpstart’s Read for the Record brings together millions of people each year in classrooms, libraries, community centers, and homes across the US. This annual campaign was launched over a decade ago to highlight the importance of building early literacy and language skills for EVERY child, so that all children have the opportunity to enter kindergarten prepared to succeed.
Thank You, Omu! tells the story of a generous elderly woman who makes a fantastic pot of thick red stew. The scent from her stew travels all throughout her neighborhood and brings all of her community members over to her home for a taste. By the end, she shares a lovely feast with her neighbors where everyone contributes to the meal.”

Calendar
October 23 @ 9:15 am: Chautauqua Institution: Understanding Archives: An Introduction to Archival Basics
While proper archival procedures help ensure safe and effective management of collections, the individuals who care for collections also play a key role. However, volunteers, historians, and other professionals at collecting institutions may find themselves in the position of "archivist" without formal training in the profession. Topics covered during this workshop will include the fundamentals of archival appraisal, acquisition, and access; proper storage materials; and the most common preservation problems found within paper-based archival collections. This workshop will also touch briefly on processing, arrangement, and description.
