Book Description
Welcome to Havenbrook, a town steeped in charm and mystery, where the cobblestone streets hold tales of generations past. Nestled within this idyllic setting are two souls destined to unravel not only the enigmas of history but also the profound bonds of love and destiny. Dorothy has spent a lifetime tending to the precious Oakwood Library, a sanctuary of ancient wisdom and stories etched into time's embrace. Her heart beats in harmony with the whispers of the past, and her devotion to preserving the town's legacy is unwavering. Across town stands the Beechwood Library, a modern marvel of innovation, and within its walls resides Keanu, a spirited young librarian brimming with a passion for bridging the gap between tradition and progress. Fate, it seems, has orchestrated an extraordinary rendezvous for these two kindred spirits. A twist of serendipity thrusts Dorothy and Keanu together, embarking them on an unforeseen journey of collaboration. Their mission: to decipher a cryptic historical puzzle buried deep within the archives, one that promises to unearth a secret hidden for centuries. As they dive into forgotten manuscripts and trace the footsteps of those who came before, Dorothy and Keanu find themselves spellbound by a narrative that transcends time's boundaries. Their shared pursuit unveils not only the secrets of history but also the threads that connect their own families. With each revelation, their connection deepens, weaving an intricate tapestry of emotions that neither could have foreseen. In the hushed recesses of libraries, where wisdom is bound in leather and ink, these two librarians embark on a journey that will change the course of their lives. "The Star-Crossed Librarians" invites you to immerse yourself in a tale of love that defies time's constraints, of mysteries that transcend eras, and of the profound magic that dwells within the pages of a book. Join us as we traverse the corridors of time and the intricacies of the heart, guided by the quiet enchantment of libraries. Through twists of fate and turns of destiny, Dorothy and Keanu's story will capture your imagination and remind you that, even in the digital age, the past is a treasure trove worth cherishing and that love is a force that transcends both history and time.

Reading Programs for Young Adults
Author: Martha Seif Simpson
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476605440
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
School and public libraries often provide programs and activities for children in preschool through the sixth grade, but there is little available to young adults. For them, libraries become a place for work—the place to research an assignment or find a book for a report—but the thought of the library as a place for enjoyment is lost. So how do librarians recapture the interest of teenagers? This just might be the answer. Here you will find theme-based units (such as Cartoon Cavalcade, Log On at the Library, Go in Style, Cruising the Mall, Space Shots, Teens on TV, and 44 others) that are designed for young adults. Each includes a display idea, suggestions for local sponsorship of prizes, a program game to encourage participation, 10 theme-related activities, curriculum tie-in activities, sample questions for use in trivia games or scavenger hunts, ideas for activity sheets, a bibliography of related works, and a list of theme-related films. The units are highly flexible, allowing any public or school library to adapt them to their particular needs.

LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Children's Librarianship
Author: Lucy Santos Green
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440876789
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
This book breaks new ground, offering school and public librarians serving children in grades K–8 a roadmap for implementing and upholding queer-inclusive programs, policies, and services. School and public librarians are serving ever greater numbers of LGBTQIA+ children and families. Transgender children may begin to express a strong sense of gender identity as early as 2–3 years of age. Children are also identifying as gay much sooner than earlier generations-often between the ages of 7 and 12. Additionally, more children than ever before are living with LGBTQIA+ caregivers. In seeking to make our programs and services inclusive and equitable for these growing populations, librarians may court controversy and face community backlash from patrons who feel queer-inclusive content is inappropriate for young children. This book codifies a set of best practices for librarians as they rise to this challenge, defining queer-inclusive programs, identifying potential barriers to implementation, and offering strategies and resources to overcome them.

Polymer Libraries
Author: Michael A. R. Meier
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 364200170X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This is truly an exciting time to be in the ?eld of polymer science. Advances in polymerization methods are providing polymer scientists with the ability to specify and control polymer composition, structure, architecture, and molecular weight to a degree that was not possible just a decade ago. This, in turn, is resulting in many novel application possibilities of polymers ranging from drug delivery systems and nanolithographyto stimuli-responsivematerials and many others. In addition,many of the application areas of polymers – such as coatings, adhesives, thermoplastics, composites, and personal care – are also taking advantage of the ability to design polymersduringtheir developmentefforts. Not to forget,manyof these applications of polymers involve mixing polymers with solvents, catalysts, colorants, and many other ingredients to prepare a formulated product. However, the tuning of polymer composition and structure as well as polymer formulations to optimize the ?nal performance properties can be challenging, - pecially since in many cases several interacting variables need to be optimized simultaneously. This is where the methodologies and techniques of combinatorial and high-throughput experimentation to synthesize and characterize polymer - braries can be an invaluable approach. Simply put, a polymer library is a collection of multiple polymer samples having a systematic variation in one or more variables related to composition, structure, or process. Various methods and strategies have been explored to ef?ciently prepare a large number of polymer samples and also to screen these samples for key properties of interest.

ISBN: 3540240306
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 708
Book Description
The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL) is an annual international forum that provides opportunities for librarians, researchers and experts to exchange their research results, innovative ideas, service experiences and state-- the-art developments in the field of digital libraries. Building on the success of the first six ICADL conferences, the 7th ICADL conference hosted by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Shanghai Library in Shanghai, China aimed to further strengthen the academic collaboration and strategic alliance in the Asia- Pacific Region in the development of digital libraries. The theme of ICADL 2004 was: Digital library: International Collaboration and Cross-fertilization, with its focus on technology, services, management and localization. The conference began with an opening ceremony and the conference program featured 9 keynote speeches and 5 invited speeches by local and international experts. During the 3-day program, 40 research paper presentations were given in 3 parallel sessions. The conference also included 6 tutorials and an exhibition. The conference received 359 submissions, comprising 248 full papers and 111 short papers. Each paper was carefully reviewed by the Program Committee members. Finally, 44 full papers, 15 short papers and 37 poster papers were selected. On behalf of the Organizing and Program Committees of ICADL 2004, we would like to express our appreciation to all authors and attendees for participating in the conference. We also thank the sponsors, Program Committee members, supporting organizations and helpers for making the conference a success. Without their efforts, the conference would not have been possible.
