Subject: Nazanin Arastoo Puppet Theater
Hi All,
This was a great program and great to have an new option in the PCYP line up. For those of you
yet to host, a few things I wanted to share with the Leads:
First - Nazanin was an absolute pleasure to work with! She arrived about an hour early to set up
and requested a large flat book cart, but we found that a dolly/hand truck worked best for
hauling in her set. Her show consists of a 20-25min puppet show and then she spends a good
chunk of time introducing her various puppets. She shares where each puppet is from and the
culture they represent, along with puppets she has made herself. She allows q&a at this point
and before she was finished asked each attendee what their favorite puppet was and why (this
was manageable as most of the audience had left by this point)
Second - Wowzers! Crowd control was a huge issue. This by no means was her fault, but mine.
We had 23 registrations, but 67 showed up. As I stated in the write up she's a new act and I
think patrons really showed they've been wanting something new by coming out for the
program. During the puppet show there are a lot of rhetorical questions asked between puppet
characters which children don't understand and ALL want to answer. If I could do it all over
again I'd sit myself in the middle of the story time rug with all the kiddos and summon every
shhhssshhing librarian that ever lived! lol. If you see your branch drawing in a large crowd I'd
suggest having two staff members in the program to help with the crowd. I'm sure most of you
already do this song and dance, but was a new experience for us IV folks -- one of the largest
attended programs we've ever hosted and the most unruly. We (I) have learned some great
lessons for next time. 🙂
Here's a page that McPhaill, Amanda wants you to see

Yesterday the Incline Village Library hosted Nazanin

Arastoo's Puppet Theater. 67, yes, SIXTY-SEVEN (!!!!),
kiddos with their grown-ups in tow could barely contain
their giggles and excitement as Nazanin delighted
everyone with her beautiful puppet …

Young Activists and the Public Library: Facilitating Democracy

Virginia A. Walter
Assisted by social media and other digital tools, today’s children and teens are energetic and active
participants in a host of social causes, from climate change and gun control to voting rights and racial
equity. Public libraries can facilitate their activism by providing trustworthy information and creating
opportunities for young people to develop leadership and participation skills. A past president of the
Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), in this book Walter demonstrates how libraries can
foster greater civic literacy and civic engagement in young patrons. Using a research-based approach that
incorporates case studies and interviews with young people and librarians, she highlights teen advisory
boards and community service opportunities that provide outlets for teen leadership, and spotlights
informative and inspirational books to share with young patrons that are also ideal for book talks and
storytimes.

Dear Beate Weinert,
My name is Eileen Bidwell, a retired social worker and college instructor. I worked with families
and individuals experiencing homelessness for nearly 30 years.
In 2013 I moved to Reno and began volunteering with several nonprofit environmental,
educational and human services organizations. I am currently completing my third year as
Human Services Educator with One Truckee River, a part-time AmeriCorps position, and am a
board member with the Reno Initiative for Shelter and Equality (RISE), the organization that
manages and operates Our Place Shelter for families, single women and seniors. I am well
connected to Reno's homeless services community, and am currently involved with efforts to
expand affordable housing through the Nevada Housing Coalition and the Nevada Interagency
Council on Homelessness to Housing.
I have recently learned about programs at libraries throughout the U.S. that help patrons,
including people experiencing unsheltered homelessness, connect with community resources,
and provide referrals to services. I believe this would be a welcome addition to the services and
free information the downtown Reno library currently offers to our community.
I am writing to offer my assistance in an AmeriCorps position beginning in September of this

year. The local AmeriCorps program is administered by the Truckee Meadows Parks
Foundation, which is responsible for processing applications, handling payroll, communicating
with the national office, and other administrative responsibilities. The cost to participating
agencies for a half-time position is $5,500 for a full year.
In addition to assisting with resources, I am able to write resumes and cover letters and assist
with employment and housing applications, as well as applications for various assistance
programs.
Washoe County Libraries are a trusted, respected and cherished public resource. I would be
honored to join your organization, and would be happy to meet with you to further discuss this
possibility. Please contact me at 775-800-1277 or by email.
Thank you in advance for considering this request.
Sincerely,
Eileen Bidwell

This is just a reminder to encourage staff to submit Washoe Stars nominations for March before the end
of the month. This is a wonderful way to acknowledge our “above and beyond” staff members for all
their hard work and dedication, or for employees to be recognized by their peers. When a patron gives

Subject: Great Basin & Lehman Caves virtual lecture series
Attachments: Lehman Caves Virtual Lecture Series Flyer (2).pdf
Hi all,
Last January, during our Tails and Tales Summer Reading program training, Aviva O’Neill with the Great
Basin National Park Foundation shared programs and projects centered on Nevada’s native wildlife.
This year, she has returned with new programs centered on Lehman Caves National Monument’s 100th
anniversary- see message below, and feel free to reach out to Aviva directly!
PS: You COULD tie Lehman Caves into this year’s CSLP theme, Oceans of Possibilities, as per the National
Parks website: The park's famous Lehman Caves began forming around 2 to 5 million years ago. At that
time, the landscape was covered by a warm, shallow ocean, and the limestone that makes up a large
part of that landscape was formed by the shells of dead sea creatures accumulating on the ocean
floor.
This year is a special year for Great Basin National Park- the 100th anniversary of
Lehman Caves National Monument- the stepping stone to becoming a national park.
To celebrate we are trying to connect Nevadans to their special national park (many
Nevadans haven't even heard of the park!). We know that many can't take the journey
to visit us in person, so we have organized a special Centennial Virtual Lecture Series.
Can Nevada libraries share this with the public- both through social media and by
printing the attached flyer and posting at their libraries?
Please let me know. Thank you so much!
Also, I'm happy to provide images for social posts- please let me know if that would be
helpful.

Subject: ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries - Exceedingly Educational and Tremendously
Fun
Dear Librarian,
ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries includes unlimited access to the same full version of
ABCmouse Early Learning Academy that consumers subscribe to. It can be used by several
children in the same household—all at the same time—each with their own avatar, profile, and
progress-tracking on their ABCmouse Step-by-Step Learning Paths.
The multi-award-winning and independently-validated* ABCmouse offers the most

comprehensive online curriculum for children ages 2–8+, including reading and language arts,
math, science, social studies, art and music.
ABCmouse stimulates a child’s enthusiasm for learning through more than 10,000 fun-filled
learning activities—including more than 2,000 STEM and over 1,200 Spanish-language learning
activities—consisting of books, educational games, puzzles, art activities, poems, songs, music
videos, and more. Millions of ABCmouse users have completed almost 10 billion learning
activities since 2010.
An added bonus with ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries is the inclusion of our
independently-validated Assessment Center—an extra-cost option for consumers—which creates
customized lessons that are targeted to help a child improve in specific skill areas identified by
the assessments: https://www.edtechdigest.com/2019/01/31/abcmouse-assessment-center.
ABCmouse is truly a world-class educational resource and your patrons and their children will
benefit tremendously by making it available to them at home!
Here’s just one example of positive feedback from a librarian about ABCmouse, with several
more examples included near the end of this email:
"ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries is one way the Detroit Public Library is
encouraging children to read every day. The games and activities are fun and
educational and, based on their heavy use, children are enjoying them. It is the type of
resource that many families in our community would not have access to, except through
the Library. ~ Margaret Bruni, Director for Public Services for the Detroit Public Library

Positive Feedback from Library Staff

“We've had this resource in our libraries for years and there has been so much enthusiasm
around it …" - Skye Patrick, Director of the County of Los Angeles Public Library.
“We are excited to launch this service on September 1 that will allow Sonoma County families to
“checkout” access to ABCmouse to use at their home… With this service, children will now have
remote access to ABCmouse through their local library for free. The service also supports our
strategic plan goals to provide educational and recreational experiences that spark lifelong
learning, and to prepare parents and their children for entry into the K-12 school system.” ~
Susan Hildreth, Interim Library Director, Sonoma County Library, CA
“Parents and children alike are elated to find out that they can [access ABCmouse] for in home
use. Many of our members could not afford it otherwise. Children and parents often ask for
computer games to play while in the library. The children's staff always directs them to ABC
Mouse where they learn and have fun at the same time. Parents are thankful, often praise the
collaboration, and hope to see more opportunities like this in the future.” ~ Elizabeth
Braunworth, Children’s and Teen Librarian at the Main Library of Palm Beach County Library
“I love, love, love ABCmouse.com. We’ve had tons of kids playing games on our computers this
summer. Now we have quality education games we can refer them to all in one place at
ABCmouse.com.” - July Hisel, Director of Wilson (IA) Memorial Library
Positive Feedback from Library Patrons

ABCmouse.com is a great learning tool for kids of all ages, preschool through elementary
school. It is also user friendly and lots of fun. My son is 3 years old and has been using
Abcmouse.com for a few months now and can now count to 10, has learned to listen and follow
instructions, he's become more independent and takes pride in learning new things, and he's
recognizing letters. I love that ABCmouse.com can be used on many devices. My son can play
on my phone, a tablet, or our laptop and it's easy to move from one to the other. ~ Allison
Gregory (patron of T.A. Cutler Memorial Library)
I don't know how ABCmouse.com does it, but it gets through to my daughter in no way that I
could, and I'm so happy. I've also seen my daughter learn other things that I did not expect;
she has become much better at using a mouse to interact with the computer, and she is also
coming to understand the value of tickets (and hopefully money in real-life and down the road)
and using them sparingly and deciding which gifts have the most value. ~ Jason Molen (patron
of Santa Clara County Library)
I love ABCmouse! My son started speech therapy about a year ago and I feel as if ABC Mouse
aided him speaking faster. He is much more confident and apt to speak now that he routinely
does activities on the website! Using it through the library program is amazing and much
appreciated! ~ Charmae Martin (patron of Daly City Public Library)
I think the ABCmouse.com is a great way to help kids become excited about learning. It is the
perfect combination of fun and learning. A parent can feel good about this type of screen time
and the site engages the whole family! I use the site with my (just turned) 5-year- old and my
(about to be) 9-year-old. My 5-year-old has definitely added to his letter recognition and letter
sound recognition directly from playing on ABCMouse.com. ~ Elizabeth LiVolsi (patron of Contra
Costa County Library)
Here’s the ABCmouse Curriculum Scope and Sequence as of 2020. There are now well over
10,000 learning activities in ABCmouse.
Here’s a link to a PDF of the Curriculum Scope and Sequence:

Sorry for being vague. We are working on a grant in conjunction with the community center. The grantor

Sorry if that is a vague question. It was a weird question to ask and I am just trying to find out if there is

Your weekly dose of inspiration
Hi there,
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and, let’s be real:
we have a lot of work to do. Thankfully, our Girls Who Code students make us feel hopeful
that we can do that work together — so many have focused on using their coding skills to
raise awareness about racial discrimination.
One group of students in a Texas club created a game that allows users to create a Black
Lives Matter protestor and raises awareness about the BLM movement.
Last summer, a Summer Immersion Program student created a website to educate people
about the #StopAsianHate movement, while another created an activist toolkit to raise
awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous women.
We’re also grateful for the work of role models that our community can look up to, like
Alexis Williams, an engineering student who codes projects that tackle social justice
issues in America — like pb-resources.com, a comprehensive guide to fighting white
supremacy.
So while we still have a lot of work to do to eliminate racial discrimination, we’re also
inspired by how many young people in our community have used coding to make that
future a reality.
👩🏾‍💻 LAST CHANCE to Apply For Our FREE Summer Program: Our application for our Summer
Immersion Program (SIP) has been extended! This is the last week for high school
students to apply for the opportunity to make an impact with code, learn about cool
careers in tech, and build an invaluable sisterhood. Apply here!

Academic Libraries Add Space for Student Parents

By Laura Winnick
Most public libraries feature family-friendly spaces: rooms where young children
can play or read quietly, stocked with toys, digital media, or books. Recently,
some academic libraries have been inspired to model similar room on their
college campuses. Seeking to support students who are parents or caregivers,
many college libraries are working to create more inclusive spaces with child-
friendly resources.

How Old Movies Are Professionally Restored
From INSIDER: All film stocks decompose over time. Sometimes this decomposition is irreversible —
which explains why an estimated 75% of American silent films are considered lost. Insider visited The
George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York, to see how its team rescues old movies and restores
them to their former glory.

Call for Proposals for a Special Issue of The Moving Image:
"Reflections and Projections: 100 Years of 16mm"
The Moving Image, 23.2
“Reflections and Projections: 100 Years of 16mm”
Guest editors: Caroline Frick and Laura Treat
Proposals Due: April 1, 2022
Final Manuscripts Due: September 01, 2022
The Moving Image invites submissions for possible inclusion in a special issue addressing the significant
and central role played by 16mm film for nearly 100 years. This important small gauge format
influenced decades of medical and educational training; amused and entertained global audiences;
served as a fertile training ground for generations of government and Hollywood filmmakers; provided
vital infrastructure for the burgeoning television industries; and afforded an opportunity for families,
communities, and other non-professionals to document their own lives. As video assumed a more
central role within the media industries in the 1970s and 1980s, entire 16mm film collections were
discarded and abandoned, increasingly becoming the domain of audiovisual archivists and librarians,
museums and historical societies, and networks of private collectors who continue to work to preserve
and provide access to these materials to new audiences in innovative ways.
To highlight this important work, and to reflect the unique work of AMIA members, we envision an
issue that prioritizes the perspectives of practitioners and others who work with 16mm film collections.
In doing so, this issue will privilege discussions of archival practice and labor over traditional long-form
academic research articles. For example, we welcome interviews with industrial filmmakers, collection
profiles and case studies, “war stories” from the vaults and other lessons learned, or thoughtful
reflections upon 16mm as a mode of access and preservation.

Review from Educational Media Reviews Online: Bulletproof
Bulletproof is, in brief, a documentary about how schools have responded to school shootings. The film
is presented primarily through a lens of observation; it contains only a few scenes in which an
individual speaks directly to the filmmakers. Despite the sparse narration, Bulletproof manages to
convey a clear narrative throughout the film. Furthermore, the filmmakers also provide context early in
each scene so that viewers understand what's happening at that point in time. Overall, the film is well-
structured and superbly edited …

The Criterion Collection:
Cartoons of a Different Kind
There’s an entire realm of children’s entertainment that survives mostly
on the margins of collective consciousness. The average person is
unlikely to know Michael Sporn’s name, but if they are of a certain age,
they almost certainly have seen at least one of his animated short films,
and there’s even a chance they still hold such a film close to their heart.
Of the more than forty shorts Sporn directed in his four decades as an
animator, little more than a dozen are currently available on legal
streaming services in the U.S. Read more HERE.
New Day Films: Women Who Change The World
March is Women’s History Month, and to appreciate the significance of this annual occasion, one need
look no further than New Day Films own trailblazing founders. This past November, New Day Films
turned 50 and founders Julia Reichert, Liane Brandon, Amalie Rothschild and Jim Klein shared their
insights on the founding of the co-op during the milestone celebration. The leadership and ingenuity it
took to found a woman-led organization in 1971 embodies the accomplishments that should be
celebrated during Women’s History month and International Women’s Day on March 8.

a. Presentation on Washoe County Library System 2022-2025 Strategic Plan
Library Director Jeff Scott reviewed a PowerPoint presentation regarding the 2022-
2025 Strategic Plan, a copy of which had been provided in the agenda packet. He
discussed the first month of the strategic plan activities, including grants for new
book machines and progress on the Bookmobile van. He provided an update
regarding book promotion activities similar to the On the Shelf radio program.
He noted there would be a ribbon cutting ceremony for the reopening of the
Northwest Reno Library in March. The date of the reopening for the Sparks Library
was still uncertain due to the need for asbestos remediation. He noted Director’s
Updates were being provided to the Board members and staff weekly. He shared
photos of recent renovation activities and the Sparks library being prepared for
carpet installation.
Director Scott reviewed the Workforce Building partnerships with Washoe ACT, the
Northern Nevada Literacy Council, and American Job Center at Sierra View Library.
He mentioned plans to renovate the Senior Center library and discussed
homebound services delivery. He discussed the pause of the homework help
tutoring program a switch to focus on the BrainFuse program.
Chair Holland asked how the Library System was recruiting volunteers; Director
Scott explained the volunteer program was in the process of being reorganized and
more updates would be provided in the future.
Director Scott discussed the ways in which the Washoe County Library System was
working to celebrate and promote diversity, and shared brief updates regarding
marketing activities related to the 2024 tax renewal initiative.
6) REPORTS
a. Library Director’s Report
Director Scott reviewed the Library Director’s Report, noting mask mandates had
been relaxed by the State of Nevada; masks were now recommended but not
required for patrons. COVID testing at the South Valleys branch had recently
concluded. Spanish Springs branch manager Jana MacMillan estimated
approximately 20 percent of patrons were wearing face coverings on any given day.
Director Scott discussed the updates to signage and new procedures implemented
after the mask mandate repeal.
Director Scott briefly highlighted the ordering of Summer Reading Program ‘swag’.
He also noted there had been some changes in the Library System’s hiring
processes, which would allow staff to waive interviews more than three times
without being removed from the hiring list. This would help save time by avoiding
unnecessary interviews of staff who wanted to remain on a list, but who were not
interested in a particular branch or vacancy.
He discussed various updates and changes related to digital library cards through
the Overdrive system and the transferring of those card accounts to physical library
cards.
He explained plans and updates for a new volunteer program and new ways to
recruit volunteers. He discussed the Washoe Stars employee recognition program
and noted staff members Lori Talarico and Marie Sevier-Dyer had been nominated
for the previous quarter.
b. Spanish Springs Library Report
Spanish Springs Library Branch Manager Jana MacMillan reviewed a PowerPoint

presentation, copies of which were provided to the Board. She discussed notable
events at the Spanish Springs Library including a staff member who received a drone
pilot license for aerial photography, the branch staff’s involvement in assisting the
community during the COVID pandemic, and a UPS truck that had crashed into the
branch in May 2020. Thankfully, due to the shutdown, no one had been injured
during the crash; if the branch had been open at the time, two employees whose
workstations were right on the other side of the wall the truck crashed into could
have been injured.
Ms. MacMillan discussed Grab-and-Go pickups implemented in June 2020 and the
cleanup and reconstruction of the damaged wall in August 2020. She shared a
humorous ‘love story’ of two Library Lizards who entered the branch during
construction (and their resulting progeny); she also detailed the use of the Spanish
Springs Library as an early voting location in Fall 2020. In Winter 2021, drive-through
book pick-ups had been implemented, and by May 2021, the branch reopened to
patrons.
Tour groups returned in August 2021, with story and toddler times as well as
meetings of the Friends of the Washoe County Library System following in
September 2021. By October 2021, new expanded branch hours had been
implemented, and the branch had since been open six days per week.
Ms. MacMillan shared photos of teen outreaches, toddler time activities, and a
virtual story time being provided for the Pyramid Lake tribal community. A Lego
Robotics kickoff occurred in December 2021 and had been very popular, along with
Dungeons and Dragons outreach at Shaw Middle School and maker services events
during the holidays. A new coding program had begun in February 2022, and a
$10,000 grant had recently been received from the Board of County Commissioners,
with staff currently working to plan how the new funds would be utilized.
c. Reference and Technology Team Report
Assistant Library Director Joan Dalusung reviewed a PowerPoint presentation, a

copy of which had been provided in the agenda packet. She noted how the
Reference and Technology Team (RTT) hoped to implement the strategic plan with
goals including providing training for staff, developing a training calendar, and
providing employees with the tools needed to be well-informed and welcoming for
patrons.
A training needs survey had suggested several topics staff were interested in,
including technology, community resources, and new-to-library staff trainings to
help new employees understand the Washoe County Library System’s mission and
be better prepared to handle sensitive topics as they came up.
Ms. Dalusung reviewed a list of other possible training topics including how to
engage an audience, technical skills to include Office 365 and Sharepoint training,
de-escalation strategies, and equity, diversity, and inclusion. She noted a Library
Aware training was scheduled for the following week, and more outreaches could
be done in the future. Staff also planned to provide recorded trainings on
Sharepoint.
d. Quarterly Stats Report to Include Statistics for October, November, and December
2021
Director Scott noted the quarterly report would look different soon as the current
format was based on the previous strategic plan. He reviewed library utilization
statistics, noting utilization had increased to approximately 80 percent of pre-COVID
levels. DVD checkouts were one area where utilization had not returned; he
attributed this to the community’s increasing use of streaming services. Book
checkouts had remained strong and were increasing. Program participation numbers
were also increasing, particularly for story times. Individual use of Library services
had remained strong, though there had been a shift toward more virtual versus
physical or in-person use of the libraries. The report would be modified to better
match the new strategic plan initiatives for the next quarter.
e. Quarterly Financial Report to Include Gift Fund Expenditure for October,
November and December 2021
Director Scott provided a brief overview of the Quarterly Financial Report for
October, November, and December 2021. Chair Holland inquired regarding the
impact of the COVID pandemic on the gift funds and requested Director Scott
provide further detail for the benefit of the newest Board member, Trustee Frank
Perez.
Director Scott explained there were separate gift funds the branches could use to
provide targeted services to the public; some of these funds came from donations
provided by the Friends of the Washoe County Library System (WCLS), some came
from donations from members of the community, and other funds were generated
by book sales. He explained that donations were sometimes intended to be used by
a particular branch and other times could be used by the WCLS as a whole.
Director Scott noted the Library System had recently received two large donations
of $7,000 and $5,000 which would be used to help purchase children’s books to give
away and other materials for the Summer Reading Program (SRP) The WCLS could
not use County tax dollars for such programs; funding for the SRP came from
donations and proceeds from book sales. He also explained any gift fund
expenditures over $5,000 were required to be approved by the Library Board of
Trustees (LBOT), and though each library branch had local funds that could spend
at their discretion, those expenditures still required approval by either the LBOT or
the Library Director. He noted the Tacchino Trust funds had almost been fully
utilized, with renovations to the Senior Center Library to be some of the final
expenditures.
f. Board Task Report
There were no recent changes or updates to the Board Task Report.
7) STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
None
8) PUBLIC COMMENT
None
9) BOARD COMMENT
Trustee Perez thanked the Spanish Springs Library for their presentation and stated he
hoped to see them again soon.
Trustee Stoess requested information regarding the dates of her term; Director Scott
stated he would need to check to be certain, but thought her appointment was
scheduled to last through 2024. Trustee Stoess indicated her desire to work as a
volunteer after she was no longer on the Library Board of Trustees.
Trustee Marsh expressed appreciation for the Spanish Springs Library presentation and
said the branch had been nicely showcased. She thought the Washoe County Library
System was doing extraordinary work and said it was nice to see credit being given
where it was due. Chair Holland agreed and gave his compliments to staff.
10) ADJOURNMENT
Chair Holland adjourned the meeting at 5:18 p.m.

starting May 17
Click here to view this message in a browser window.
Join us to learn best practices and program ideas

for supporting vulnerable populations in your community
Over three weeks in our new online course Serving Vulnerable Populations,
learn about innovative library programs at the intersection of social work and
public health that you can emulate in your library. You’ll explore how to identify,
connect with and serve vulnerable populations in your community, and how to
leverage partnerships to provide targeted support where needed.
Guest speaker session highlight:
Week 1: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 - Laying the Groundwork
Session 1 | 2:00-2:45 pm ET
Define, Identify and Understand Vulnerable Populations
Key in serving vulnerable populations is understanding and defining who you

want to serve and why. It's also crucial to approach this work from a place of
cultural humility. In this session, we’ll discuss what types of community
members might be considered vulnerable and how to identify them within your
community. We’ll look at the public health and social work underpinnings of our
work with vulnerable populations, and how we can envision the role of libraries
in meeting the needs of the most vulnerable members of our communities.
Speaker:
Rob Simmons, Director of Social Services and

Public Safety at Oak Park Public Library in
Illinois

invited to work with Jennifer McCarthy, L+K Architects, and Ron Graziano,
Director of Facilities Development, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, to provide
customer service pods to help support the new opportunities for learning

Subject: Re: Nevada Reading Week Highlights!
Dear Committee Members,
As we close out Nevada Reading Week 2022, my heart is full! Below I highlight a few of
the many ways we have moved forward the Nevada Reading Week vision to inspire and
instill the joy and importance of reading across Nevada.
Live Author Event
Mark and Mandy worked tirelessly to pull off the first virtual author event bringing 12
diverse authors to students across the state. A conservative estimate of 24,000
students participated. I cannot express how amazing it was to watch hundreds of
students listening to each author. Kim Cuevas, you will be pleased to know that so
many authors shared their journey as writers and encourage students to write!! Thank
you to Mychelle and Holly for moderating. They did an excellent job! I look forward to
our next committee meeting where we can share more highlights.
Social Media Engagement

If you haven't yet had the opportunity, take a moment to search Twitter using our
hashtag #nevadareadingweek. Today Deanne Hicks took over NDE's social media and
posted pictures of her class listening to Amber Torres read aloud and many more
engaging reading events. Congratulations to Robert! I saw SO many Tweets from Clark.
I'll keep you updated on the winners of the NDE photo contest.
Communication
Two press releases were distributed; please see the attached documents spotlighting
the involvement of Superintendent Ebert and Governor Sisolak among others.
Partnerships
1. Public Libraries: Thank you Beate for sharing updates with me throughout the
week! Take a look at the Pleasant Valley Elementary Outreach report

LIBRARIAN I
Wednesday, March 2, Chris, Krystina, and I visited Pleasant Valley Elementary at the invitation of the librarian,
Stephanie Pirtle. We were happy to be guests at their Nevada Reading Week celebration and wore our
Hawaiian shirts in honor of the theme, Catch the Reading Wave. I shared examples of fun stuff you can do at
the library beyond books, talked about the differences between a public library and a school library, and
invited the students to come to see us at the big sunny yellow library (some call it mustard yellow) by the
soccer and baseball fields. Chris read the VERY SERIOUS book “Octopants” and Krystina read the story time
favorite “I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean.” We shared our time with three second-grade classes, three
Kindergarten classes, and one first grade class who really wanted to hear our stories (even though the entire
first grade had a field trip to our library just over a month ago) for a total of 138 students and educators.
Although this school has a huge percentage of students who already have library cards, thanks to past
outreach efforts and the amazing partnership with Mrs. Pirtle, we did issue 83 cards to mostly K and PreK
students and a few new PVES students.
We will be hosting Pleasant Valley ES for an after-hours literacy event tomorrow night at the library to close
out Reading Week with a bang.

Your weekly dose of inspiration
Hi there,
We know it's been a tough few weeks for many members of our community — from the
numerous attacks on LGBTQ rights to the war waging in Ukraine. We're thinking of
everyone affected by these events and are sending you so much love and strength.
But amid this pain, we want to take a moment to uplift our community. Particularly, this
Women's History Month, we want to give a well-deserved round of applause to all of the
women and nonbinary leaders (and future leaders) in tech. 👏🏾
We’re so proud of our community, who have used their coding skills to create projects that
both celebrate women in STEM and speak out about the gender inequality women still
face today. We want to share just a few of our faves.
This Girls Who Code student is changing the game for women in tech…literally. Lívia, a
student in our Self-Paced Program, created a website that aims to create a less toxic
gaming community for our gamer girl by prompting visitors to take action and tell their
own stories. Visit her website here.
Need more STEMinists on your vision board? Evelyn, a Girls Who Code Club student at
Bloom-Carroll Middle School, OH, created a fun adventure game where players collect
books to learn about iconic women figures in tech — you can play here.
Thienkim, a student at Thomas Edison High School in Virginia, made a chatbot trivia game
about gender inequality because, as Thienkim put it, “I want to educate others on how
even in the 21st century, there is still inequality between men and women.” You can start
chatting (and learning) here.

Looking for a good time? Just Press
Start
By Nora Tarte
THE LONG-AWATED REOPENING of Midtown’s original barcade is

finally here. Press Start reopened on Center Street (in a new location) to much
fanfare. Adults of all ages can gather at the retro arcade to play old-school video
games for 25-50 cents per round, plus plenty of pinball options.
The overall theme is laid back, with a separate bar room offering a pool table,
seating and giant Jenga. Or walk through the archway and hit up Press Start’s
original attractions—including classics such as Street Fighter, Guitar Hero and
Paperboy.
"Press Start doesn't serve just one

demographic."
Eventually, the owners of Brothers Barbecue will open a fried chicken concept
called Cluckers next door. While it’s coming soon, the food option isn’t there
quite yet, making a visit to Press Start more of a “come for drinks” event.
In addition to a simple beer menu featuring favorites such as Little Sumpin’,

Alibi Ale Works Kolsch and Elysian Space Dust, the bartenders can whip up
cocktails at the ready with a full bar behind their backs. Plus, there is non-
alcoholic beer and other beverage options for the designated driver.

Subject: NACo-supported bipartisan Secure Rural Schools fix legislation goes to
president
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE:
NACo-Supported Bipartisan Secure Rural
Schools Fix Legislation Goes to President
On February 28, the U.S. House of Representatives passed by voice vote S. 3706,
bipartisan legislation to make critical technical corrections to the Secure Rural Schools
(SRS) program for FYs 2021–2023. SRS was extended for three years under the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law with increased funding, ensuring crucial funds for over 700 counties
in 41 states and Puerto Rico to support infrastructure maintenance, local schools and
wildfire risk reduction. The bill passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent on
February 15 and will now go to the president’s desk for his signature.
NACo ADVOCACY SPOTLIGHT
NACo testified in support of the House version of this legislation
before the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources on February
3 and pushed Congress to pass it quickly.
WATCH HEARING
WHY S. 3706 IS CRITICAL FOR PUBLIC LANDS COUNTIES

Federal lands agencies are due to process SRS payments to counties in the coming
weeks, making the timing of the bill’s passage even more critical. This legislation is
necessary because the deadlines for counties to decide whether to take SRS payments or
federal timber harvest receipts and to allocate SRS payments between Titles I-III passed
last summer before the infrastructure law was signed. The SRS statute mandates a
default allocation of 80 percent to Title I (county roads and schools) and 20 percent to
Title II (resource management programs on national forests). S.3706 locks in the 2013
county elections for timber harvest receipts or SRS payments and county allocation
elections between Titles I-III for FY 2021 payments scheduled for this spring, which is
consistent with every reauthorization since 2013. Beginning next year, counties would
have flexibility to choose their SRS payment allocations for the first time in a decade.
BACKGROUND ON S. 3706
Had S. 3706 not passed, rural public lands counties would not have access to Title III
funds – the SRS funding stream with the greatest amount of flexibility for counties – to
use for search and rescue missions on federal lands, law enforcement patrols,
community wildfire programs and broadband access in schools. Furthermore, some
counties choose to receive timber harvest receipt payments from their national forests,
and without the technical fix, those counties would be forced to receive SRS payments
instead, even if they would receive more money from the federal timber harvest
receipts.
S. 3706 protects flexible funding streams for national forest counties and schools and
ensures timber dependent counties receive their fair share of receipts in FY 2021. Rural
counties with large tracts of public lands must provide services on federal lands to
residents and visitors alike, including search and rescues operations, law enforcement
patrols and wildfire prevention. Counties applaud bipartisan leaders in both chambers
for moving this legislation expeditiously and ensuring local governments receive the
support needed to provide essential services.

Subject: Request for grant support, Cold Springs Community Center Library Kiosk
Dear Celia and Bob,
It was so great talking with you both today! As I mentioned we are writing a
grant to support the installation of a vending machine (kiosk) that will circulate
library materials (print, video, tech, etc.) at a place in our service area that
presents challenges for library access (such as Cold Springs and Red Rock being
so far away from the branch with traffic compounding access, etc.)
While the grant is targeted for placement in the Cold Springs area, it will allow us
to chose the most appropriate site when developing the project. Initially, based
on our conversations and after reviewing the Community Center location, I
recommend a partnership with the library and your parks team to host the kiosk
at the Cold Springs Community Center.
Unfortunately, our grant deadline is quick (tomorrow, Jan. 28th). If possible we
would love to have a short letter of support from you both expressing the
benefits to the community if we were able to install the kiosk.
Attached is a photo of the new kiosk being launched with the Incline Library, so
you have an idea of what we are proposing. This project would require very little
from the parks team other than allowing us to use a host site for the machine.
Library staff would maintain and manage all other parts of this service.
If you are able to voice your support for this grant, and return a word document
to me today, I will happily include that in our grant application to strengthen our
ask.
Thank you so much for considering this request and for your partnership with the
library!
Sincerely,
Jonnica

COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Regional Parks & Open Space
To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter in support of a library kiosk being placed at the Cold Springs Community
Center. This kiosk would provide a much-appreciated service to a community that is lacking in
many government services. The relative distance from the city center as well as the lack of
public transportation limits the ability of many of Cold Springs community members from
having access to many of the services that enhance quality of life and provide healthy outlets for
the youth in the community. There is also a local population of senior citizens who use this
facility but do not have the resources or ability to access the other services located in the more
populated areas of Washoe County.
In conclusion, the location and current use of the Cold Springs Community Center for a Library
self-serve kiosk would be a huge benefit to the community and would be fully supported by
Washoe County Parks and open Space.

Subject: Learn from experts in our new online course Serving Vulnerable Populations
starting May 17

Join us to learn best practices and program ideas
for supporting vulnerable populations in your community
Over three weeks in our new online course Serving Vulnerable Populations,
learn about innovative library programs at the intersection of social work and
public health that you can emulate in your library. You’ll explore how to identify,
connect with and serve vulnerable populations in your community, and how to
leverage partnerships to provide targeted support where needed.
Our advisory committee has shaped the program and the work based on their
experience in the field. These experts are:
Klem-Marí Cajigas, Family Megan Emery Schadlich, Rob Simmons, Director of

Literacy Coordinator, Bringing Author, Instructional Coach, Social Services and Public
Books to Life, Nashville Public and Creator of The Healing Safety at Oak Park Public
Library Library; former Experience Library in Illinois
Designer & Coordinator at
Chattanooga Public Library
Learning Outcomes
• Identify vulnerable populations in your community and understand their most

pressing needs
• Identify community partners to support your work
• Assess and optimize current outreach methods, and engage in new, effective
approaches to best reach vulnerable populations
• Gain a foundational understanding of the intersections of public health, social
work, and library service
• Understand effective engagement models, such as peer-to-peer and
participatory, that include the sharing of lived experience among individuals
• Engage in a project that you initiate, define, and work on in a group workshop
with feedback from a group facilitator
• Recognize problematic stereotypes, acts of implicit/explicit bias, and micro-
aggressions in the process of connecting with vulnerable groups
• Learn how to collaborate with members of those populations by grounding
yourself in cultural humility and recognizing them as equals and experts on
their own experience and needs
Vulnerable populations include, but are not limited to, people experiencing
homelessness, people who are currently or formerly incarcerated, foster youth,
isolated seniors, new immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, veterans, those
recovering from addiction, people with low literacy, or individuals re-entering the
workforce.

Synopsis:
Narrative:
I was told that 3342 needed assistance at the reference desk. I went down and talked to 3342. I also talked to 2655.
They told me that Paddy had made discriminatory comments about our volunteer. The patron said, "What is that?"
in reference to our transgender volunteer who was at the reference desk talking to 3342. I printed the discrimination
and harassment policy and went to talk to Paddy to tell him he needed to leave for the day. I went to the computer he
was at and told him we had complaints from or staff about some of the comments that were said about our volunteer.
I told him he was going to have to leave for the day. He refused to leave. He told me how the women just wanted
him out. I told him that is not the situation. I told him he made discriminatory comments and that he would have to
leave. I asked him multiple times that he had to leave for the day and could come back tomorrow. I then told him he
needed to leave, or I would call the sheriff to escort him out. He continue
d to try to explain his story. I told him three times he had to leave, or I would call the sheriff. He did not move from
his seat, so I called the sheriff. I told him because we had to call the sheriff, he was now suspended from the Washoe
County Library System for 30 days.
The sheriff arrived and escorted him out. When he was leaving, he cursed at the staff that was at the front desk.
Paddy is suspended from all libraries for 30 days.
Employee 2655 interaction:

Around 10:30, one of our regular patrons came up to the Reference desk asking for a guest pass. At the same time,
one of our volunteers who is transgender was at the desk speaking to Cecily. The patron said, what is that, and I
replied with what is what? He then said what is that again, while looking at our volunteer. I told the patron that this
is a public building and that all kinds of people are welcome to be in the library. He started talking about how he
was chastised by his step father when he was young and commented about his culture. I asked him if there was a
library question that I could answer for him and he kept talking about how he was chastised. I then repeated that this
is a public place and we allow anyone to be in the library, including him. Again I asked him if he had a library
related question and he walked away to his computer. After he left, I told Cecily what the patron had said and she
called Kristen to come and address the patron. Kristen was helping
with another emergency situation, so Brent came to talk to the patron.

took us to Sparks Marina so we could learn all about self care, and we now have a volunteer
leading guided walks at the Rosewood Nature Study Area.

A Du Bois Discovery
Newly arranged as the author intended: The Autobiography of W E B
Du Bois, Great Barrington Edition.
Karen Christensen
Mar 2
I can’t start this letter without saying something about the invasion of Ukraine. I’ve spent
a great deal of time recently immersed in letters written during the world wars of the
20th century. The sense of disbelief, uncertainty, and anxiety of this moment echoes
those past times. Is there an equivalent, though, in recent centuries for the boldness
and heroism we’re seeing from the Ukrainian leadership and especially from President
Volodymyr Zelensky? Winston Churchill was eloquent but he certainly didn’t put on
fatigues and put his own life on the line.
I have a small triumphant to share: my discovery that previous editions of The

Autobiography of W. E. B. Du Bois, including the Oxford edition, part of a series
edited by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., are not arranged and dedicated in accordance with his
instructions. I’m delighted that Berkshire Publishing will be publishing The
Autobiography as well as his landmark Souls of Black Folk later this month in Great
Barrington edition.
The Autobiography of W. E. B. Du Bois: Great Barrington Edition ¹ opens with these

words:
I was born by a golden river and in the shadow of two great hills, five years after the
Emancipation Proclamation which began the freeing of American Negro Slaves.
The Souls of Black Folk, also begins here in Great Barrington, with a story of Du Bois’s
first experience of what he called “the veil” between the races that took place in a
wooden schoolhouse that stood across Main Street from Great Barrington Town Hall.
In front of that Town Hall today stands a memorial erected in 1876, when Du Bois was
eight years old, to those who fought in the Civil War, with a flying angel on top and the
words, “Freedom and Union.”
You’ll find much more about the Great Barrington Editions at Berkshire Publishing. The
books can be preordered now and will be shipped later this month.

W. E. B. Du Bois extolled the USSR and Communist China in the Autobiography,
especially in essays that were prominently placed at the beginning of previous editions
of the book. I had toyed with the idea of taking out these chapters, which one critic said
read like they’d just rolled off a mimeograph machine, but after reading them chapters
and an accompanying statement about his beliefs, I realize that Du Bois was a utopian
thinker when it came to Communism. This makes them especially interesting to
consider as we watch the unfolding situation between the Russian Federation, Ukraine,
and the world’s uniting liberal democracies.
I was gobsmacked² when I opened the document you see above. The full story my
discovery will be included in our edition, and is available below to paid subscribers.
From Chapter 21: The Soviet Union

Her government had long been shot through with dishonesty and graft under
dissolute nobles and fawning lackeys. Her punishment of crime and independent
thought had long affronted the civilized world. Yet the best people of Europe and
America seldom raised a finger of protest, but fawned on Russian royalty and
aristocracy, receiving them with open arms. . . .
. . . they sit and sit and talk and talk, and vote and vote; if this is all a mirage, it is a
perfect one. They believe it as I used to believe in the Spring Town Meeting in my
village. There is power rivalry and personal jealousy; all things in the Soviet Union are
not perfect. Mails miscarry, cables come a day late, styles are often queer; the world
problem of domestic service has not been settled. The question of life careers and the
decision between what one wants to do and what one is fitted to do, and what efforts
are needed—these matters have not yet found final answers; but they are being
frankly faced, and experiments are making. . . .
Is it possible to conduct a great modern government without autocratic leadership of

the rich? The answer is: this is exactly what the Soviet Union is doing today. But can
she continue to do this?

In fact, Du Bois’s writing about Communism is utopian in tone. He was looking for a
better world, a better system, and late in life he had become discouraged by what was
happening in the United States. In the 1950s he was treated horribly by the US
government. He had faced indignities all his life, even as a highly accomplished and
well-known Black man. The story of his being interviewed for a teaching job and then
sent to the kitchen to eat, while the white candidate was invited to the dining room for
dinner, haunts me. Du Bois actually took the stage for a debate with an avowed racist,
someone like Nicholas Fuentes, in Chicago (thanks to Catherine Zhou for this link).
Du Bois traveled the world, visited Russia, and went to China to meet Mao Zedong. He
died in Ghana, disenchanted with his own country. Yet his love for Great Barrington
never wavered. And last month his only grandchild was buried here in the Mahaiwe
Cemetery, next to her mother, uncle, and grandmother, Du Bois’s first wife and two
children.
I first thought of publishing a book by Du Bois last year on the day of Black Lives Matter
events across the United States, as I saw people pouring into the tiny town of Great
Barrington, Massachusetts for a rally at Town Hall.
There were copies of his autobiography and other books on my shelf. I had been
hearing his story for years, at events and over the dinner table, and we published a
volume based on his teenage writings about the little church in Great Barrington that Du
Bois had written about as a teenager.
I assumed that the familiar line, “I was born by a golden river in the shadow of two great
hills,” was how his autobiography opened.
But to my surprise and dismay, that perfect opening line did not appear in the 1968 US
edition until Chapter 6. Instead, the book opens with short chapters about his travels
and Communist beliefs at the end of his life. How strange, I thought. I knew Du Bois had
been a prolific writer and that he had been active in the world, occupied with political
activities, editing, and organizing. Many of his books, including his groundbreaking 1903
The Souls of Black Folk, were put together in haste, compiled from pieces of journalism.
But he was also a graceful and poetic writer. I found myself doubting that this sequence
was what he intended.
Looking at a more recent edition from Oxford University Press, I noticed a footnote in
the excellent introduction by Werner Sollers, a Harvard historian that spoke to this
question. He explained that Du Bois’s friend Truman Nelson had claimed that the
original manuscript, which he had a carbon copy of, did not include those five opening
chapters: "It would be interesting to compare the Nelson manuscript with the version of
the book that is in the Du Bois Papers and that is reprinted here."

shipped later this month.

Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic printing processes, which was embraced by
photographer Anna Atkins. She was not only an early botanist photographer but the first female
to create a photograph. In this workshop we will use found objects and foliage from our natural
environment to create one-of-a-kind cyanotype blueprints on watercolor paper. Participants will
learn the key role that light plays in photography and get to experiment with this process that
was discovered almost 200 years ago. Learn more.
