Program recommendation - Vanessa Ivy Rose author of Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes
by Kelly Rembert 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi, I want to share a program recommendation with everyone. Author Vanessa Ivy Rose is the author of Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes which is about her grandfather. She has a great professional presentation and this is a labor of love to share more about her grandfather. I recommend reaching out to have her at your library! Thanks, Kelly Kelly Ireland Rembert Outreach Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Rd. Southfield, MI 48076 (248) 796-4367 krembert(a)southfieldlibrary.org<mailto:krembert@southfieldlibrary.org> www.southfieldlibrary.org<http://www.southfieldlibrary.org/> she/her/hers From: Vanessa Rose <vanessaivyrose8(a)gmail.com<mailto:vanessaivyrose8@gmail.com>> Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2024 7:53 PM To: Mary Beall <mbeall(a)southfieldlibrary.org<mailto:mbeall@southfieldlibrary.org>> Subject: [EXTERNAL]Black History Month Book Talk You don't often get email from vanessaivyrose8(a)gmail.com<mailto:vanessaivyrose8@gmail.com>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Greetings Mary! My name is Vanessa Ivy Rose and I am a local author, educator and podcast host of ABC’s “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” (which has just received a nomination for an NAACP Image Award). I am contacting you to see if you have any interest in having a book talk and signing at your library. My latest book is entitled “Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes". I wrote this book in dedication to my grandfather “Turkey” Stearnes who is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000 (and is also in three other halls of fame) and last year the Detroit Tigers gave away his jersey to 15,000 fans in celebration of the Turkey Stearnes Centennial. Despite Grandpa Turkey’s accomplishments, he is one of the greatest baseball players many have never heard of because he played in the Negro Leagues due to Jim Crow segregation which excluded him from MLB. As of 2020, he and over 3,000 other Negro Leaguers have been recognized by MLB as Major Leaguers. I would love to speak at your library to have a book talk and signing if you are interested for Black History Month or any other time you have available. Please feel free to visit my website www.hofdna.com<http://www.hofdna.com/> or to email me if interested. Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon!

These playful activities, often designed by library staff, include texting with murals, audio tours by Black feminist historians, ghost scavenger hunts, and "eye spy" quests for architecture and culture. These low-tech creations are part of a national project, Engaging Beyond Our Walls, which aims to connect libraries with their communities in innovative ways.

Libraries and non-profits: Leveraging data analytics for community impact Wednesday, October 9, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/data-for-good.html Libraries are well-positioned to provide data analysis services to a variety of community groups, from nonprofits to government agencies, enabling them to gain insights into their operations and constituents. Recognizing the potential of data analytics, the Providence Public Library in Rhode Island (PPL) created "Data for Good," a project to train teens and adults in data analysis and provide these services to local nonprofits. PPL collaborated with library staff in Georgia and Texas to develop data analytics programming. Using the newly developed skills and the Data for Good (D4G) curriculum, participating library staff were able to bring their knowledge to local community members, organizations, and colleagues. Presenters from libraries in Georgia, Texas, and Rhode Island will share their experiences in using the D4G curriculum, their successes in working with community partners, and innovative ideas for utilizing AI in data analysis. We will introduce you to the resources made freely available through IMLS funding (LG-250160-OLS-21) to libraries interested in learning about data analytics or implementing a data analysis training program. Sustaining ecosystems for climate learning and action Thursday, October 24, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/sustaining-ecosystems-for-cl… Join this webinar to learn how public libraries can develop or expand their role in learning and teaching about climate change, climate science, and climate action. We’ll introduce the STEM Learning Ecosystem Model, which can clarify the need for collaboration across various sectors and organizations to drive meaningful action. You’ll then hear from libraries about their experiences, successes, and challenges working in partnership with others sectors to support climate learning and action. Plus, strategies to enrich existing partnerships and pave the way for future collaboration. Don't miss this opportunity to become a stronger partner in climate education and action.
