M-17704-6 New 5-16 2 www.hplct.org meet tHe ceo BRIdgET QUInn-CaREy took over as CEO of the Hartford Public Library on April 11. She is the 10th person to hold this position. She earned a Master in Library Science and a Master in Business Administration from St. John’s University. She is a member of the American Library Association, Public Library Association, Connecticut Library Association and New York Library Association. She was honored with The New York Times Librarian Award in 2003. She and her husband, Jim Carey, are the parents of two teenage daughters. She grew up on Long Island and held leadership positions at libraries in Iowa, New York State, and locally in Middletown and Essex. She was most recently Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer, and Interim President/CEO, of the Queens Library. How did a public library influence your career choice? My mother led children’s services in my local public library, and it was her sage advice that encouraged me to pursue a career in libraries. She brought us to the library when we were young, and that Q experience instilled in me a love of libraries that has lasted my entire life. & Is there a favorite book that you revisit? There are some books and authors I could read over and over. To Kill a Mockingbird and Heart of Darkness are two that come to mind. And anything by my go-to authors including Margaret Atwood, a Ray Bradbury, Jhumpa Lahiri, Gabriel Garcia-Márquez, Isabel Allende, or Patricia Cornwell. What books do you keep at arm’s reach? I like having an engrossing mystery on my bed stand, and a good, meaty non-fiction book. I pick up whichever one I’m in the mood for that evening. What books do you read to your children? ConTEnTs I loved reading poetry to my daughters. Our favorite collections were Welcome .........................3 Animal Crackers by Jane Dyer, and A Child’s Book of Poems by Gyo Fujikawa.

Michele H. Bogart – Dissertation Advisor Professor, Department of Art Barbara E.

Canadian Magazine Illustrators at Home and in the United States, 1880-1960 by Shannon Jaleen Grove Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2014 This dissertation analyzes nationalisms in the work of Canadian magazine illustrators in Toronto and New York, 1880 to 1960. Using a continentalist approach—rather than the nationalist lens often employed by historians of Canadian art—I show the existence of an integrated, joint North American visual culture. Drawing from primary sources and biography, I document the social, political, corporate, and communication networks that illustrators traded in. I focus on two common visual tropes of the day—that of the pretty girl and that of wilderness imagery.

  • St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's
    St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s C.V. Starr Library & Learning Center Summer Reading Suggestions 2020 Entering Grade 1 Tips for Parents “Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to them as a precious gift.” — Kate DiCamillo, Newbery author of Because of Winn-Dixie Here is a selection of books for you and your family to enjoy over the summer months and a few simple tips to help parents and caregivers nurture a child’s love of reading. Make it a family value. Children are expert observers. Whether you prefer to read books, blogs, manuals or magazines, let your child see your enjoyment of your own reading. Make it a shared activity. Talk with your child about what she or he is reading, or what you have read together. Discussing and retelling stories is a way to broaden your child’s understanding of the world. It also improves reading skills, builds vocabulary and fosters parent-child bonding. Make it part of your summer routine. Try to share at least one book a day with your child. You can make reading a part of your child’s bedtime routine, or perhaps a breakfast read-aloud works better for your family. The goal is to encourage your child to pick up the habit of reading. Many of these titles can be found at your local public library and may also be available in eBook or audiobook formats. You and your child may also want to refer to this list throughout the year when borrowing books from the school library.
