Instead, the instructional media center (IMC) has opened its doors to children of all ages by pro- viding programs and events for chil- dren and families. While some programs are geared towards a specific audience, most are open to all UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff and we invite you to bring the entire family to the li- brary for some fun with a kiddy-lit flair. Many events are also open to the general public. As a former children’s librarian it’s not in my nature to be quiet! In an effort to get a more varied audience using the col- lections in the IMC, I offer story time sessions for the Chil- dren’s Center and others in the university and Eau Claire community. These are typically held the last Wednesday of each month of the academic year at 10:00 a.m. in the IMC. The sessions last about 30 minutes and are geared to preschool age children. If you’re looking for a quiet place to study or re- lax, don’t make it the IMC during these sessions because we do like to make a lot of noise, as each session includes rhym- ing and movement activities, songs and music, and of course, books just great for reading aloud.

    WISCONSINEYE PARTNERS WITH MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL & GANNETT WISCONSIN TO PROVIDE EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF 2016 WISCONSIN ELECTION CAMPAIGNS NEWS NETWORKS CO-LAUNCHING A VIDEO PLAYER HOSTING HUNDREDS OF CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS 8/1/2016 Contact: Kristen Colgin Phone: 608.316.6850 Email: [email protected] Madison, WI -- WisconsinEye, an evenhanded nonprofit news network, is launching a free video player providing the state’s most extensive coverage of Wisconsin legislative races. The Campaign 2016 video player will contain an array of campaign events and interviews at the state and federal levels. Viewers will also have access to hundreds of in-depth interviews with candidates for the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly, in both the primary and general elections. All WisconsinEye interviews are conducted by WisconsinEye senior producer Steve Walters, a veteran State Capitol journalist. Steve was recognized in 2013 as "Wisconsin Journalist of the Year" by the Milwaukee Press Club, the first time an individual rather than a broadcast or news entity received the club's highest honor. In addition to candidate interviews, news conferences, and interviews with campaign insiders and analysts will round out the coverage between August and the inauguration of election winners in January 2017. Campaign 2016 is a partnership between WisconsinEye and the Gannett family of online news sites in Wisconsin, including its flagship, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The video player will host an array of campaign events and interviews at the state and federal levels. All WisconsinEye election coverage will be simultaneously available at wiseye.org and the 11 Gannett online sites. “The goal is to create a big, wide open window into these elections,” said WisconsinEye president Jon Henkes.
