Warshawski Novel (William Morrow\, April 2024). LILRC Members who attend are eligible to win door prize copies of the book! \nHailed by the Washington Post as “the definition of perfection in the genre\,” Sara Paretsky is the New York Times bestselling author of numerous novels\, including the renowned V.I. Warshawski series. She is one of only four living writers to have received both the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America and the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the Crime Writers Association of Great Britain. She lives in Chicago.” \nHarperCollins \nAbout Pay Dirt \n“V.I. Warshawski is famous for her cool under fire\, her sardonic humor\, and her unflinching courage. All that changed when a case ended with a father killing the child she’d been hired to find. She’s second-guessing herself\, forgetting to eat\, forgetting her workout. \nHer worried friends send her down to Kansas for a weekend of college basketball; Angela\, one of her protegées\, is a Northwestern star. And that’s when her troubles really begin. \nOne of Angela’s roommates disappears and V.I. agrees to stay behind to try to find her. Finding a missing person in a town where she doesn’t know anyone and has no snitches among the area’s lowlife is hard enough\, but her search propels V.I. headlong into local land-use battles whose roots go back to the aftermath of the Civil War. \nToday’s combatants are just as willing as the Reconstruction opponents of the 1860’s to kill to settle their differences. V.I.’s survival depends on keeping one step ahead of players in a game she doesn’t even know she’s playing.” \nhttps://saraparetsky.com/biography/ \nCode of Conduct \nFor questions\, please email Eliscia Cirrone\, ecirrone@lilrc.org. \nProfessional Development Hours: 1 (0.1 CEUs) \nThe program will be recorded. \nRegister @ LILRC URL:https://clrc.org/event/lilrc-webinar-sara-paretsky/ LOCATION:Online Via Zoom\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Continuing Education,Featured Speaker ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://clrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Acronym_Gradient.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240313T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240313T120000 DTSTAMP:20240328T133109 CREATED:20240227T143912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240227T143912Z UID:10001735-1710327600-1710331200@clrc.org SUMMARY:SCRLC Webinar: Lunch & Learn - Graphic Medicine: Engaging Communities in Health Literacy DESCRIPTION:As an introduction to graphic medicine\, graphic novels and comics with a health\, wellness or disease theme\, with an emphasis on graphic medicine and health literacy and community engagement\, this webinar is a chance to discuss what graphic medicine is\, what resources and titles are available\, and how libraries are using graphic medicine to support health literacy for providers\, patients\, families and their communities. \nGraphic Medicine is a wide-ranging category that includes graphic memoirs\, graphic non-fiction\, and fiction for all age groups including adults\, teens\, and children.

In this new webinar\, Rakisha Kearns-White will demonstrate how libraries can be places for menstrual literacy and advocacy and underscore the importance of providing unbiased and accurate access to sexuality education to tweens and teens! \nNearly half of the states in the U.S. have mandated sex education classes\, but only 13 states require that sex education be medically accurate. In 2022\, about 20.82 million women were living below the poverty line in the United States\, and two-thirds of the low-income women in the US could not afford menstrual products in 2021. Nearly half of those women had to choose between menstrual products and food. The number of Americans living in poverty is rising and the current political climate is making it more difficult for young adults to access sex education relevant to them. \nThis event will show you how your library can contribute to closing the economic and political divide\, one patron at a time! \nLearning Objectives \n\nLearn how libraries can help patrons and communities separate discussions of menstruation from sex/pregnancy\nGain an understanding what period poverty is and how it manifests\nLearn how we can broaden the idea of sex education beyond biology\nExamine what sex ed and menstrual literacy can look like in a library\nGain strategies for getting stakeholders on board\n\nPresenter: Rakisha Kearns-White is a 2023 Library Journal Mover and Shaker; a 2022 recipient of the Brooklyn Public Library’s Dr. Lucille C. Thomas Excellence in Librarianship Award; and an 18+ year veteran as a YA Librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library. Rakisha has spoken about Menstrual Equity and Sex Ed in libraries at the New York Library Association\, Metropolitan New York Council\, Association of Children’s Librarians of Northern California\, and Greenburgh Public Library’s 2022 FanCon. Rakisha has also presented at New York Comic Con in 2019 and 2023 and the Toronto Comic Arts Festival in 2022. \nRegister @ RRLC URL:https://clrc.org/event/rrlc-webinar-menstrual-literacy/ LOCATION:Online Via Zoom\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Continuing Education,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240221T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240221T110000 DTSTAMP:20240328T133109 CREATED:20240118T183837Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240118T183837Z UID:10001720-1708509600-1708513200@clrc.org SUMMARY:LILRC Webinar: Best Practices for Deconstructing Whiteness in the Academic Library - Antiracist Librarianship DESCRIPTION:Librarian Sam Berry-Sullivan provides an examination of how Whiteness and White supremacy culture have insinuated themselves into librarianship and academic libraries\, and steps academic library staff can take to ameliorate it. \nAfter graduating from the University at Albany with a Master of Science in Library and Information Science and a Master of Arts in English Literature\, Sam Berry-Sullivan was hired as a part-time reference librarian for SUNY Adirondack Community College.

Beginning with the textual speculation of large language models\, writing tools for metaphor and syntax; and culminating in the visual speculation of local Adirondack public history\, this series is designed to ask you to reframe the meaning human knowledge and the use of artificial intelligence. \n2/5 10am – Poet and computer science scholar Dr. Katy Gero is a human-AI interaction researcher\, with a focus on technology for impactful writing and understanding the limits and capabilities of large language models\, whose work asks when and why writers turn to computers versus humans for support. \n2/21 10am – Artist and programmer Doug Smith reimagines digital art and North Country tall tales using to AI to visualize Adirondack cultural heritage on the instagram account “ADK Legends.” \nBoth events will feature AI practitioners’ detailing their process and workflow in using generative technologies to speculate text or image\, as well as time for Q&A to discuss content decisions and implications\, application and audience\, ethics and representation. \nRegister @ NNYLN URL:https://clrc.org/event/nnyln-webinar-ai-adirondacks/ LOCATION:Online Via Zoom\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Continuing Education,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://clrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/NNYLN_Logo_stacked.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
