YOUTH
PROGRAMS
Meet Dot and Dash
move around the room based on
the information you send him.
So how do they work?
We recently welcomed two new members
to our Library tech family: Dot and Dash,
the coding robots.
Dot is the brains of the outfit. Dot interacts
with the world through his sensor eye and
brings to life the code you create. Dash is
all about action. Dash can dance, hop and
Dot and Dash are controlled by
apps on a smartphone or tablet. These apps turn coding into
games, making it fun and simple
for kids of any age to learn. Before
you know it, you’re coding! The
code you write can turn Dot into
a hot potato for a fun game with
friends, or navigate Dash through
an obstacle course.
“Dot and Dash spark kids’ curiosity,”
says the Library’s Youth Services
Director Amber Creger. “Kids get
so excited to discover new games
and activities for the robots. And all
the while, they are learning coding,
looking at the world in a new way
and using their imaginations.”
Look for Dot and Dash at upcoming Youth programs, including two
Tween programs in September.

“I come to the Library to
get movies, or for books
I need to read for school.
I use the Teen Place for
resources or to use a
laptop. The staff is
welcoming and very
helpful.”
-Grant, age 15, Schaumburg
Student Advisory Trustee follow-up: Avni Bavishi
“I’m planning on becoming
an academic physician,”
Avni continued. “That’s still
pretty distant in my future,
but I’d like to incorporate
both teaching and clinical
practice in my career.”
Each school year, we welcome Student Advisory
Trustees (SATs) to our Board of Trustees. These
SATs attend the board meetings to learn what’s
happening at the Library and to share the views
of the junior high and high school students who
use the Library.
Earlier this summer, we decided to check in with
Avni Bavishi, SAT from the 2011-12 school year, to
see where life has taken her in the last few years.
“I attended University of Illinois at Chicago for my
undergraduate years, and I’ve just completed my
first year at Northwestern University’s Feinberg
School of Medicine,” Avni said.
Wow! Color us impressed.
“I’m planning on becoming an academic physician,” Avni continued. “That’s still pretty distant in
11
SCHAUMBURG TOWNSHIP DISTRICT LIBRARY • August/September 2016
my future, but I’d like to incorporate both teaching and clinical practice in my career.”
Avni remembers her time as a Student Advisory
Trustee fondly, saying it was a fantastic opportunity to go behind-the-scenes at a large, well-respected organization. She specifically noted
her work in planning the Teen Place, saying, “It’s
immensely satisfying to go back and see how
much the teens use the area.”
So what advice does the future Dr. Bavishi have
for current high school students?
“Get involved and get to know the people in your
school,” Avni said. “My best memories and friendships from high school were formed through
activities and sports. And if you love the Library,
you should definitely consider applying to be a
Student Advisory Trustee.”
“I use the library often
for books, and load
books on my Kindle all
the time.”

Uncovering His Family’s History
Hoffman Estates resident Fred Luft
began using our genealogy research
materials about two years ago, but his
work on his family history began much
earlier.
“I first started a family tree by hand
around 1970,” Fred said. “My mom was
my inspiration. She started sending
letters to Chicago Catholic parishes
and to other family members in the
1950s, looking for more information
about her family.”
Today, Fred attends our monthly
genealogy programs and uses the
Library for free access to our
genealogy materials to continue his
research.
“Between my wife and I, we have 3,472
people in our family tree on Ancestry.
com,” Fred noted.
But Fred is uncovering more than just
the names of his distant relatives; he’s
uncovering some very interesting
stories, too.
“The history of my great grandfather
Charles Ory was very unexpected,”
Fred said.
Fred and his family always believed
that Charles lived most of his life in
Chicago with his wife and daughter.
However, after much research, Fred
learned that Charles Ory was born
in France and lived there until 1888
when, at age 28, he immigrated to
the United States with his wife and
15
SCHAUMBURG TOWNSHIP DISTRICT LIBRARY • August/September 2016
daughter. Then,
while living in
the Chicago
area, Charles
had three more
children with that
wife, and when
she passed, he
remarried and
had five more
children. In 1905,
Charles moved to Michigan with his
wife and many of his nine children.
There’s even a story to accompany
Charles’ passport photo, which Fred
discovered through his research.
“In 1919,” Fred said, “Charles got his
passport and went to New York City
where he planned to take a boat to
France to visit his brothers and sisters.”
But Charles’ steamship was held on
the docks due to a union strike and
Charles was never able to travel to
France.
“I want to thank Schaumburg Library
for having a person like [Genealogy
Librarian] Tony Kierna, who is always
looking for additional ways to help
us find more information about our
families.”
Stop by our monthly genealogy programs, or visit SchaumburgLibrary.org
to begin your family history research.
You never know the stories you may
uncover.
