Summer 2011
Get Reading – and Moving
– This Summer
Sara Laughlin, MCPL Director
A
t the Library, we’ve known for a long
time that reading over the summer is
important. Children who don’t read
during June, July, and August stand to lose up to
two months of reading skills they gained during
the school year. And the loss is cumulative. By
the end of high school, the loss can add up to
two years worth of reading skills. Our Summer
Reading Program is designed to give children the
opportunity and the motivation to read whatever
they like.
What we didn’t know about was the research
showing that children also face “activity loss”
over the summer, which can lead to weight
gain at three times the school year rate. And we
learned about emerging research that links brain
development with physical activity.
Last fall, the Community Health department at
IU Health-Bloomington Hospital approached
the Library about a partnership to encourage
both summer reading and summer activity. The
Library enthusiastically agreed, and we joined the
Hospital, Monroe County YMCA, Bloomington
Parks and Recreation, Southern Indiana Pediatrics, and the Monroe County Smart Start Coalition in a shared effort.
And Get Reading, Get
Moving was born! The
Library’s 2011 Summer
Reading Program game
board includes ways to
earn points from movement activities, as well as
through reading. Partner
experts will be leading
library programs on family yoga and kids’ zumba,
while Library storytellers will be visiting summer camps at the Y and Parks and Recreation to
share a story or two, and campers will participate
in Summer Reading Program activities during
weekly visits to the Library.
We are excited about the opportunity to reach
more children and their families with the message
about the importance of reading and moving this
summer. Many thanks to the Friends for providing ongoing funding for the Summer Reading
Program. This year, the Library has also received
generous contributions from IU Health Bloomington Hospital and Utilities District of Western
Indiana REMC. ▪
Brian Sparks, CEO of Utilities District of Western Indiana
REMC, presents a $500 Community Fund Grant to
support Monroe County Public Library’s 2011 Summer
Reading Program for children using the Bookmobile.
Coffee with Friends
T
he Friends Hospitality Committee has
begun a new initiative to give Friends
members an opportunity to get together and
to hear from local authors. Those who attended the
first Coffee with Friends in May met Jen Flessner,
the daughter of Norma Klein, as she discussed
“My Mother, the Banned Writer, a Daughter’s
Perspective.”
Our next Coffee with Friends will take place on
Saturday, July 16, 12:30-1:30 pm in meeting
room 1A in the Main Library. Our guest will be
young adult fiction writer, Julia Karr, who recently
published XVI <http://web.me.com/juliakarr/
Julia_Karr/Books.html>, with the sequel coming
out soon. She will speak about the writing and
publishing process.
Get on the Friends email list by contacting us at
[email protected], or follow us on Twitter <http://

Coffee with Friends opportunities. ▪

An Evening with James
McBride
“All of my work speaks to the commonality of the human
experience. That’s where I live, to move audiences to
think, to question, and to find common ground.”
—James McBride
Award-winning author, journalist, and jazz musician
Patty Callison, Power of Words Chair
T
he Friends of the Library and
Monroe County Public Library
are partnering to bring bestselling author James McBride to Bloomington on Saturday, November 12.
McBride’s books include the memoir
The Color of Water: A Black Man’s
Tribute to His White Mother and the
historical fiction works Miracle at St.
Anna and Song Yet Sung. McBride’s
7:00 p.m. talk at the Buskirk-Chumley
Theater is free to the public.
Following the talk, a gala champagne
and jazz reception will include a meet
the author book signing in the transformed atrium of the Main Library.
It is at this reception that the talented
Mr. McBride will also uncase his
saxophone and jam with a jazz combo.
Did we mention that he is an award
winning jazz composer, musician and
journalist? Tickets for the reception
are $50 per person with funds going
to The Friends of the Library. Reception attendees will also have reserved
seats at the main event.
The Author Event Committee has
been meeting monthly to plan enhancements to McBride’s visit, offering our community of readers several
chances to explore the literature and
art of this accomplished man. In addition to McBride’s centerpiece talk,
several other satellite activities will
make this third event in “The Power
of Words: Changing Our World One
Between Friends ▪ Summer 2011
Author at a Time” series the most
thorough and wide-ranging yet. Reception ticket and event information
will be found on the Friends’ website
<www.mcpl.info/friends>.
In partnership with Indiana University Bloomington Continuing
Studies, a three session course
entitled Identity and the Power
of Words: Exploring the Works of
James McBride will be offered
beginning Thursday, November 3
with guest speaker John McCluskey
Jr., IU Emeritus Professor of African
American Studies and English. On
Thursday, November 10, MCPL
Director, Sara Laughlin, will further
explore the writing and implications
of McBride’s works. The $65 cost of
the course includes a third session
with reserved seating for class members on November 12 at the main
event, and a ticket to the reception.
A new partner for the Power of
Words is Indiana University’s
Themester program, whose Fall 2011
theme, Making War, Making Peace,
complements McBride’s historical
novel, Miracle at St. Anna. McBride
wrote the screenplay adaptation
of his book about Black Buffalo
soldiers in World War II Italy for
a 2009 film directed by acclaimed
storyteller Spike Lee. A showing of
the film on Saturday, November 5
in the MCPL Auditorium will also
include a discussion led by Dr. Au-
Bloomington
November 2011
drey McCluskey, Director of the IU
Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center,
Professor of African American/
African Diaspora Studies at Indiana
University, and past Director of the
Black Film Center/Archive Indiana.
On Sunday, November 6, MCPL
Librarian Wendy Rubin will lead a
Books Plus discussion on Miracle at
St. Anna at the Main Library.

Libraries are one of the only face-to-face services left where kids can come with no appointment and get professional services from someone with a master’s degree who assigns no grades,
makes no judgments. It’s the greatest democratic institution ever created. —Patrick O’Brien

The public library is more than a repository of books. It’s a mysterious, wonderous place with
the power to change lives. —Chicago Tribune literary editor Elizabeth Taylor
Digitizing Monroe County’s Civil War History:
“At War and At Home”
H
ave you ever wondered what everyone in town was doing during the Civil
War? The Indiana Room’s newest digitization project is called “At War and
At Home: Monroe County Timeline 1855 - 1875.” It brings to light the
history of our residents before, during, and after a war that divided America in half.
Collaborating with The Monroe County History Center, The Wylie House, and the
Indiana University’s Lilly Library, the team digitized a variety of items – diaries,
letters, church records, court records, and meeting minutes — to make them
accessible through its website www.mcpl.info/atwarathome.
Because the local newspaper from the Civil War era was destroyed by fire, Monroe
County has for over a century relied on relatively few resources to examine these
historically significant times. Now we can piece together this era and commemorate
the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. We can also prepare our county for its
bicentennial in 2018, as we have more tools and resources, including updated profiles
on major characters and a timeline.
Learn how teachers D. E. Hunter and Margaret McCalla were at home building
momentum to establish more structured, graded schools, and how Milton M. Nichols
was at war fighting the rebels, temporary blindness, homesickness, and the harsh
camp life.
This project is part of the Indiana Memory Digital Library and is made possible by a
grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Library and
Services and Technology Act as administered by the Indiana State Library. For more
information, contact the Indiana Room at 349-3080. ▪
