Free admission to Friends sponsored Events Page 2 Bookworm History of the Friends of the Library History of the Friends of the Library “History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illuminates reality, vitalizes memory, pro- vides guidance in daily life, and brings tiding of antiquity”. Cicero 106BC – 43BC While we don’t consider our Friend’s history to be “antiquity” there is something to be said for Cicero’s quote. History certainly illuminates reality, vitalizes memory and provides guidance in daily life. This is the first of a series of articles tracing the history of The Friends of the Library during the period 1966 -1973. Due to space limitations in the Bookworm, it was decided to present this history in a series of articles rather than one condensed ver- sion which would risk omitting important facts and periods of time. The primary source document for this article is the report: A History of the Friends of the Library, 1966 – 1973 which begins with the statement, “In February of 1966 a dozen Macon ladies gathered in the home of Mrs. Abbott Frank to discuss the inadequacies of the library facilities in this community, and how to effect improvements”. Thus began a movement which culminated in the creation of the organization we serve today, The Friends of the Library. The following are condensed ex- cerpts from this report to give a high level overview of the key events of the times. Paragraphs below are included in quotes and italics to convey the point that the ideas and the form of presentation are excerpts from the 1973 report and not my origi- nal work. “After much discussion and planning, it was decided to develop a “Friends of the Library” chapter and petition the courts for a legal charter. A charter was developed, put into legal form as a corporation by attorney John Comer and signed by Judge Oscar Long thus incorporating the organization for a period of thirty five years. The key purposes for which the corporation was formed were: ▪ To create public interest in and support for the tax-supported free public libraries operating in Bibb County ▪ To promote increased knowledge and understanding of library services and needs ▪ To promote a memorial gift program for said libraries ▪ To receive and maintain a fund of real or personal property or both, and to use and apply the whole income form said funds for the purposes stated herein. The Charter was signed by the following: Mrs. Waddell Barnes, Mrs. Gerald L. Bartels, Mrs. Abbott Frank, Mrs. Charles Goff, Mrs. Jackson Holliday, Mrs. Bayne Mallory, Mrs. Joseph Massey, Mrs. Jack McKay, Mrs. Monroe More, Mrs. J. E. Oldham and Mrs. Giles H. O’Neal. The charter meeting of the Friends was held at the Hay House, May 8, 1966. A nominating committee was then created to develop a slate of officers for the coming year: Mrs. Frank Abbott, President; Mr. Herbert Birdsey, Vice President; Mrs. Gerald Bartels, Secretary; and Mrs. Marvin Coddon, Treasurer. Those named to serve as Directors for three years were: Mr. William Crawford, Mrs. Giles O’Neal, Mr. William Davies and Mr. J. Sewell Elliot. Directors to serve two Years were: Mrs. Jack McKay, Mrs. Jackson Holliday, Mrs. Steve M. Solomon III and Mr. Albert Reichert. After acceptance and approval of these nominates it was decided by the new Board of Trustees that the first order of busi- ness must be the abolition of the old Board of Trustees of Washington Memorial Library. Mrs. Ellen Bellamy had given Washington Memorial Library to the City of Macon in 1916, and in her will stipulated that the Library Board was to be self-perpetuating. Long after there were other libraries in the community, the city had never chal- lenged this stipulation, and had permitted all libraries to be governed by a Board which had no legal status and no right to receive or spend State and Federal Monies.

(December 1, 2020) — Written by Pensacola author Alice Crann Good, “Betsy the Bookworm’s Book Revolution” is the first book of an inspiring series, focusing on the value and importance of printed books, bookstores and libraries. Great for children aged 3-8, this colorful children's picture book is brimming with fun and action and shares Betsy the Bookworm's passion for reading. The book introduces us to Betsy the Bookworm, a smart, fun and adventurous character who loves to read. Betsy comes from a long line of proud book lovers and traces her ancestors back hundreds of years to a time when worms ate books because they could not read. But, once they learned to read, the worms fell in love with books and became bookworms – little worms that like to read more than anything else in the whole wide world. Over time, bookworms became too busy watching TV, playing video games, sending messages on smartphones and wrapping their little heads in earphones. Betsy’s bookworm friends wanted computers, iPads and Wi-Fi. Now they wished for mobile devices, not books. This is when Betsy decided to have a book revolution! “Betsy the Bookworm’s Book Revolution” takes children for quite a ride with Betsy as she saves print books, libraries and bookstores, multiplying the number of bookworms around the globe.

In 1894, at the age of twelve, he took an after-school job with a small printing shop in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Over the next few years, his duties progressed from sweeping the shop and selling papers to feeding the press and composing type. When he was sixteen, Colish and his mother moved to New York City, where he quickly found a position as a typesetter for Kane Brothers, a Broadway printing company. In 1907, Colish left his position as a composing room foreman at Rogers and Company and opened his own composing office. His business specialized in advertising typography and is credited as the first shop to exclusively cater to the advertising market. By the next year, Colish moved into larger quarters and began printing small orders. After several moves to successively larger offices in New York City, the Press of A.

  • Due to COVID-19, the Bookworm Bus Has Been Parked. This Has Greatly Diminished Our Efforts to Deliver Books Throughout the Community
    Due to COVID-19, The Bookworm Bus has been parked. This has greatly diminished our efforts to deliver books throughout the community. I'm still venturing out to one neighbor in dire need. The Bookworm Bus is providing Door Drop services to these patrons. We have changed our business strategy to conform with the current concerns and mandates. The Bookworm Bus has been dismantled. The bookshelves were removed from the bus and placed in the new library area. The library has over 2,400 books available for check out. This is how it works: An individual may contact The Bookworm Bus through our Facebook page or email us at [email protected] to schedule a library stop. Each slot is allotted 40 minutes in duration, and ask each patron to adhere strictly to their allotted time slot. There are step by step instructions on the reception counter on how an individual may check out or check in a book or books. Hand sanitizer is next to the instructions and we ask each visitor to use the hand sanitizer upon arrival and prior to exiting the front door. A manual library log may be found on the round white table requesting patron's name, address (if this is your first visit) and a contact number or email, and the barcode of each book to be checked out or checked in. A book return is located to the right of the log to place books being returned. The office is sectioned off to restrict access to the reception-library area only. If a patron needs assistance, a bell has been placed on the library log table, ring the bell and someone will be out to assist you adhering to the social distancing mandates.

To order go to bookwormomaha.com or call The Bookworm at 402.392.2877 >NEW BOOKS FOR 2020< Margin of Trust: The Berkshire Business Model by Larry Cunningham and Stephanie Cuba ($24.95, Columbia Business School, 2020). Cunningham and Cuba develop a new account of how Berkshire Hathaway works, showing that the key to its success is trust. Profiling partnership practices and business methods, they contend that Berkshire's distinguishing feature is a culture in which autonomy and decentralization are core management principles. They provide instructive examples of how this model has been successfully adapted by other companies that share a faith in trust as an organizing principle. They also offer candid commentary on the risks of a trust-based approach and how to mitigate them. Margin of Trust features illuminating analysis of Buffett's take on the role trust plays in business agreements, what Buffett looks for in great corporate boards, and what lies ahead for Berkshire after its iconic leader leaves the scene.

  • Carl Spitzweg Kunst Museum Winterthur | Reinhart Am Stadtgarten 29 February – 2 August 2020
    Press release Carl Spitzweg Kunst Museum Winterthur | Reinhart am Stadtgarten 29 February – 2 August 2020 Press conference for the exhibition Thursday, 27 February 2020, 11 o’clock, or individual tour by appointment Kunst Museum Winterthur | Reinhart am Stadtgarten Stadthausstrasse 6, CH-8400 Winterthur Der arme Poet (The Poor Poet), one of the landmarks of German painting, is now being shown for the first time in Winterthur in a major exhibition on Carl Spitzweg. Together with Der Bücherwurm (The Bookworm), Der Kaktusfreund (The Cactus Friend) and other masterpieces, it is the highlight of the first exhibition on the Biedermeier master in Switzerland in almost 20 years. Carl Spitzweg (1808 - 1885) is one of the most successful and popular German painters of his time. However, the tranquility of his paintings is deceptive, for Spitzweg was a precise and critical observer. He described the Biedermeier zeitgeist with humour and irony and exposed society with its sometimes eccentric excesses, for example in quirky characters like The Bookworm or The Cactus Friend. Even when he painted a sentry placing his knitting aside to look into the distance - only to discover nothing – this witty subject has a decidedly political component: the painter is ridiculing the unnecessary military excesses in 19th century Germany. By eluding censorship and apparently innocently, Spitzweg exposed political grievances. In this interpretation, The Poor Poet emerges not simply as a romantic idealization of the poet, but as an unsparing display of the artist's poverty, representative of the restriction of art in general. The exhibition at the Kunst Museum Winterthur brings together numerous major works by the Munich master.
