Eileen Barbieri, Branch Supervisor of the Burnett Library and Learning Center (formerly known as Clarksville Area Public Library) extends her appreciation to all the individuals who volunteered during the physical transformation of the library. Eileen writes: th “ Closing on Saturday, June 14 at 2:00p.m., the work began. Early Monday morning, the volunteers showed up and a storage unit arrived outside the library. With the storage unit ready to accept all the furniture that could possibly be stored away, inside all the library, books, bookshelves, and furniture were shifted from one side of the library to the other while new carpeting was installed in stages throughou t the entire building with everyone working the next two weeks around the contractor’s schedule. Some books were moved many times over during the move as space became available. At one point, shopping carts were borrowed (with permission!) from Dollar General Market for storage of books until the shelving could be reassembled! Once everything was in place, the volunteers continued to show up to help get the library ready to open to the public on Wednesday, July 16th. Thank you to: Dollar General Market, Barry Browell, Joanie Burnett, Heath and Tyler Call, Connie Cole, Joe Doyle, Ramona Field, Peter Garratt, Karol Goodwin, Joyce Johnson, Lauren Jones, Shirley Kosiba, Laurie Layton, Nancy Lipscomb, Sally Morgan, Harriet Nachmann, Leonard and Marsh Passmore, Lex Powell, Stephanie Presgraves, Rolene Ramsey, Sid and Susan Rodriguez, Harris Seaton, Dyan and Bill Willis, and Debra, Danielle and Mikayla Winn.

These animals believe they are Greek gods and goddesses, and their mighty quests in ancient Greece—aka the Mount Olympus Pet Center in Athens, Georgia—will give readers a whole new experience with Greek mythology. As the title suggests, each book in the series will follow our heroic hamster, Zeus, and his companions on epic journeys, battling mythical monsters and mis- understandings. We hope you enjoy this book and will join our quest to bring an exciting new world of Greek mythology to middle-grade readers everywhere. This second series in our fact-based fiction imprint, Under the Stars, gives readers a rollicking romp through reimagined tales, such as Jason and the Argonauts, while the “Truth Behind the Fiction” section in each book provides the original myth along with facts about ancient Greek history and culture. This fun combination of laughing and learning will appeal to fans of animals, mythology, and funny stories. Check out ZeusTheMighty.com for videos, excerpts, quizzes, educator and reader guides, and information about our companion podcast Greeking Out.

  • “The Earth in Your Time Is Getting Warmer—Why Is Your Climate
    Debbie Powell for NHM “The Earth in your time is getting warmer—why is your climate changing and what will it be like in the future?” Understanding Climate Change It’s important to understand the difference between weather and climate if you are to understand climate change. Essentially, weather is what happens day to day, while climate is a long term average (often 30 years is used). That means that you can have a cold snap during a phase which is generally getting warmer and it does not mean global warming is a myth! Or as it is put in a quote which the Meteorological Office use: In the words of Robert Heinlein, "Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get". Perhaps even more simply, "Weather is how you choose your outfit, climate is how you choose your wardrobe". The Meteorological Office have a good guide to weather and climate at: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate-guide including a video clip which should be accessible to UKS2 and older. You can click through to lots more resources from them around climate, climate change, the water cycle and some great infographics of the evidence for changing climate. The Guardian produced a digest (in 2014) of how to teach climate change which can be found at: https://www.theguardian.com/teacher- network/teacher-blog/2014/mar/03/how-to-teach-climate-change Rainforest Alliance discuss how to talk climate change to children without inducing tears and panic: https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/ articles/how-to-talk-to-kids-about-climate-change If you want the most up-to-date and internationally agreed information about climate change, the place to find it is from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): https://www.ipcc.ch/ Understanding Climate Change….
