Detroit Public Library Author Series presents Robert Marovich
by Christine Peele 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Detroit Public Library Author Series would like to invite everyone to our next event. Please feel free to share with your customers. DPL Author Series presents Robert Marovich, in conversation with legendary Detroit gospel radio announcer Dr. Deborah Smith-Pollard. They will be discussing his book Peace Be Still. In September of 1963, Reverend Lawrence Roberts and the Angelic Choir of the First Baptist Church of Nutley, New Jersey, teamed with rising gospel star James Cleveland to record Peace Be Still. The LP and its haunting title track became a phenomenon. Robert M. Marovich draws on extensive oral interviews and archival research to chart the history of Peace Be Still and the people who created it. Emerging from an established gospel music milieu, Peace Be Still spent several years as the bestselling gospel album of all time. As such, it forged a template for live recordings of services that transformed the gospel music business and Black worship. Marovich also delves into the music's connection to fans and churchgoers, it's enormous popularity then and now, and the influence of the Civil Rights Movement on the music's message and reception. The first in-depth history of a foundational recording, Peace Be Still shines a spotlight on the people and times that created a gospel music touchstone. The virtual event takes place Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 2:00 pm.

It is a process that requires flexibility and openness, and often some fresh ideas and perspective. The webinar recordings below feature examples of adaptive responses provided through library services and programming. These, and many more learning opportunities are available for free in WebJunction's Course Catalog. Balancing Books and Social Issues: Homelessness and Trauma <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fclick.e.oc…> With numerous budget cuts to social services programs, public libraries are encountering more individuals experiencing homelessness, and poverty. Why are there so many people experiencing homelessness in our libraries? How do we better serve our vulnerable customers? How do we educate and support our library staff? In this Infopeople webinar, social worker Elissa Hardy addresses these questions and explores some solutions.

Partnerships, programming, and services have all shifted to meet the public's new and changing needs. Some of these changes have been temporary, and others are here to stay. In this webinar, international library, archive, and museum colleagues discuss the operational changes they will be continuing, regardless of pandemic conditions.

Soaring unemployment levels and confusing moratoria have also aggravated the situation. Under normal circumstances, the eviction process is so complex that it can be difficult for landlords and tenants alike to understand and navigate. Over the last two years, additional layers of complexity were added as national, state, county, and municipal government implemented, rescinded, or modified an assortment of policies related to eviction. Join this webinar to understand the current state of the eviction crisis, recognize the basic stages of the process, and discuss options for forestalling evictions through rental assistance. Learn how you and your library can sort through the maze and connect people to eviction-related information and services. You can make a big difference in the lives of these community members.

It can be a challenge to find the balance between your personal and professional life, but organization, planning and creativity can all help make time for what's important to you. But so can flexing the muscles that allow us to let go of what we can't control, manage expectations (including our own), and appreciate that 'less than perfect' can be the secret to a balanced life. Join us to explore ideas to better delegate, cross train, and collaborate, and how to live with a job done well-enough, in service of yourself and your community.

The Human Library(r) model seeks to create safe spaces for dialogue where topics are discussed openly between human books and their readers. Join us to gain insights from a public and academic library using this innovative and impactful model to create meaningful community dialogue. The Anne Arundel County Public Library's Human Library provides an opportunity for people to connect one-on-one with those they might otherwise never have a chance to talk - people who may have life experiences, stories, or beliefs different from their own. At the DiMenna-Nyselius Library at Fairfield University 'human books' are students, faculty, staff, or community members who have volunteered to share their life experiences and answer questions that address stereotypes, prejudices, stigmas, or taboo topics. The session will include discussion on how these organizations were able to plan and implement a Human Library program, how the 'books' were prepared and how the program was offered successfully online.
