Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Granddad picks Ava up from school one Thursday afternoon, she's quiet. She doesn't want to talk about the lockdown drill that has stirred up her worries. How can she be so afraid in a place that has always felt so safe? Granddad doesn’t talk much either; he just offers creativity and companionship. And with his gentle encouragement, Ava begins to sense that although the world can be scary, it is still a beautiful place. With tender insight, One Thursday Afternoon sheds light on how an unpredictable world can make a child feel, reminding us that big fears can become smaller when we take time together to look, listen, and create. An author’s note about the story’s real-life inspiration and recommendations for how adults can help children overcome fear is included. "Adults may learn a trick or two from Granddad’s model of patience, acceptance, communication, and support, while sensitive children will see they are not alone and that it’s OK to feel upset. . . . A sweet,specific, and straightforward tale of dealing with good and bad in the world." —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Stop Talking Start Doing written by Gregory L. Reese and published by American Library Association. This book was released on 1999 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As librarians enhance their commitment to the ideals of multicultural service & their recognition of the rich diversity of U. S. society, the single largest obstacle to realizing this commitment is the profession's failure to recruit & train a diversified work force." Kathleen de la Pena McCook Stop Talking & Start Doing! Recruiting Minorities to the Library Profession is a practical guide to finding, nurturing, & retaining a diversified workforce for libraries that reflects & attracts the communities they serve. Minorities now make up around 26% of the U.S. population & by 2000 are expected to make up one third. However, the library profession is not keeping pace with these changes. The profession has, for the most part, failed to attract new members from the very populations that can benefit most from library services: people who are younger, non-white, & from a variety of ethnic & social backgrounds. The number of minorities entering or already working in the library profession is minute compared to the populations served by libraries. Minorities, including African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, & Asians make up only 10% of new LIS graduates. The total number of minority librarians working in academic & public libraries is less than 12%.It has become imperative to recruit a diverse workforce for the library profession. Authors Reese & Hawkins provide clear & workable solutions to attracting new faces to add diversity to the profession. The authors provide practical ways to attract, recruit, & mentor minorities to the library, including: Marketing strategies geared to the tastes & perspectives of minorities & young people Practical methods for mentoring minorities Guidelines on the role of library schools in minority recruitment Gregory L. Reese is one of a handful of African American Directors of public libraries in the United States. He is the Director of the East Cleveland Public Library. He was the 1998 president of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Mr. Reese regularly gives presentations to library professionals on recruiting & retaining young people & minorities. In 1996 he was named one of the "Seven Most Powerful Black Men in America" by Ebony Man. Ernestine Hawkins is the Deputy Director of the East Cleveland Public Library.

Download or read book With the Right Enemies written by Rob Pierce and published by All Due Respect, an imprint of Down & Out Books. This book was released on with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vollmer’s a young guy, grows up on ugly streets. He survives by being uglier, hurting people for money, hurting people because he likes hurting people. When he’s hired to track down Dust and bring back the money he stole, keeping Dust alive isn’t a priority. Neither is keeping anyone else alive, even people he loves. Vollmer’s killed people he loves before. With the Right Enemies is the bullet-drenched follow-up to Uncle Dust, Rob Pierce’s acclaimed debut novel about a bank robber’s disastrous fling with domestic life. Praise for WITH THE RIGHT ENEMIES: “A detailed and empathetic portrait of a personal struggle with demons we may not all face directly, but which always lurk beneath our carefully calculated covers. Pierce rips off that lid and exposes the common darkness of all our souls, whether we want to admit it or not.” —Will Viharo, author of Hard-Boiled Heart and Love Stories Are Too Violent For Me “One of the best noir and crime novels of the past five years. Pierce has done a masterful job of playing high drama and low stakes where the heart of the story isn’t about the big heist, or the big show down, or the fight scenes, but of the complicated nature of being a criminal, and a creature of violence, but not a simple caricature. A fantastic read for fans of cynical, dark, and yet hopeful tales of people who pay for their mistakes and have to keep the change.” —Jason Ridler, author of A Triumph For Sakura and Blood and Sawdust

In the aftermath of a bloody heist, Nolan and Jon find themselves flying home to count their ill-gotten gains -- but a skyjacker taking the same flight has other plans. Meanwhile, in Des Moines, someone is offing members of the Mob-connected DiPreta family and the Mob thinks maybe Nolan can make it stop. Maybe he can -- for a six-figure fee.
