Story 1.
Emma Donoghue, author event
Speaking With Friends
7 p m, Thursday, September 5
Wolf Performance Hall, Central Library
Emma Donoghue joins us for a discussion of her new novel, Akin, at Speaking With Friends, an annual Friends of the London Public Library fundraising event that supports children’s and youth literacy programs. Admission is by donation. London Public Library and Emma Donoghue go way back! We feel so fortunate to have hosted Emma for author events at L P L for two decades! In the early days she held readings at Landon Branch, her neighbourhood library, and in more recent years at Central Library’s Wolf Performance Hall as her fame and audiences have grown, especially after the international success of her award-winning novel, Room, which she also adapted for the stage and screen. Emma values libraries for providing equitable access to reading materials, information and technology for everyone in the community. On a personal level, she and her family are avid readers and big library fans who have spent many hours at LPL locations. Emma has been a Speaking With Friends guest in previous years and we certainly appreciate her support for the Library through this event.

Story 1. Meet Our New C E O
The London Public Library Board is pleased to announce Michael J. Ciccone as the new Chief Executive Officer of London Public Library, and looks forward to working with Mr. Ciccone as a collaborative leader who will build on L P L’s existing strengths and achievements and look ahead to future opportunities for library service. Most recently, Mr. Ciccone’s leadership as Executive Director of the Centre for Equitable Library Access, CELA, which launched in 2014, brought international recognition to this non-profit organization that supports public libraries in providing accessible collections to Canadians with print disabilities. More than 600 public library systems in Canada are now members of CELA, providing their patrons with access to 650,000 items in accessible formats. Mr. Ciccone has held management and administrative roles at Hamilton Public Library and the New York Public Library; is a founder of the Loan Stars readers’ advisory tool for Canadian library staff; and serves on the board of e Bound Canada, the digital arm of the Association of Canadian Publishers. He has earned Master’s degrees in Library Science and in Public Administration. Looking forward to immersing himself in the London community, meeting key stakeholders, and getting to know the staff, Board members and patrons of London Public Library, Mr. Ciccone says, “I’m assuming leadership of an organization with a wonderful reputation and my plan is to build on that foundation and the success and contributions of Susanna Hubbard Krimmer.”

Story 2. A Library Leader Retires
After a career of 29 years with London Public Library, including the past 11 years as Chief Executive Officer & Chief Librarian, we say farewell to Susanna Hubbard Krimmer who retired at the end of August. She says, “It has been an honour to serve the community as part of an organization that makes a difference in people’s lives, and to have worked with L P L employees and volunteers, including the Library Board and the Friends of the London Public Library for our shared passion and purpose.” Ms. Hubbard Krimmer led L P L through a period of facility renewal with renovations to London’s neighbourhood branch libraries, and the opening of Bostwick Branch Library in partnership with the City of London and the YMCA of Western Ontario. The revitalization of Central Library included extensive infrastructure renewal, supported with funding from the City of London, and the addition of new community spaces for studying, meeting and creativity, including The Labs, made possible through the 1.8 million dollars in donations raised by L P L’s Infinite Possibilities Campaign. Other highlights from Ms. Hubbard Krimmer’s time as C E O include expansion of the Library’s role in community development, initiatives for increasing access and removing barriers to library services, and the highly successful launch of C B C London’s new digital station in our Central Library. Ms. Hubbard Krimmer looks forward to continued involvement in her community through volunteerism and philanthropy. As part of her legacy at London Public Library, she has donated funds to create a Staff Training Room at Central Library to honour the many contributions of Library staff.

Ms. Hamou says Ms. Hubbard Krimmer has been a mentor to her and many others with her knowledge of library governance and policy.

Educator Cards.
Supports teachers and early childhood educators by providing access to more books for their classrooms and daycare centres. The card is available to anyone working in a school, daycare centre or afterschool program in the City of London and the counties supported by our reciprocal borrowing agreement, see page 46. Educators from the surrounding Indigenous communities are also eligible. Borrow up to 60 items. 6 week loan period. No late fees.

A Boost for Educators. Providing a richer experience in classrooms and daycare centres.
We are excited to announce our new Educator Card, an initiative that supports teachers and early childhood educators in putting more books in the hands of children in the City of London. This card lets educators borrow books for their classrooms, daycare centres and afterschool programs for extended periods of time, providing them with additional resources and the opportunity to exchange books and refresh their collections. “This will provide a richer experience in classrooms and daycare centres,” says Lisa Manax Skikos, Coordinator, Children and Youth Services at London Public Library. “Teachers and daycare providers can change books without the cost of purchasing new ones. Now a teacher has more options for planning a module on a topic they may not have books for in their classroom.” Educators welcome the new service as a huge support for children and families. Deborah Gillis, Registered Early Childhood Educator and Program Manager at Early ON – Family Centre Argyle, says, “We will now have access to a greater selection of children’s books than an individual Family Centre may be able to provide on its own.” Deborah notes other benefits of this increased access to resources for Early ON Child and Family Centres. “The availability of more materials and new titles will support staff in their curriculum development and creation of dynamic programming,” she says, “and families and caregivers will be introduced to the Library’s wide range of resources through the books they are seeing.” Supporting reading and literacy is something the Library has in common with educators. We know that teachers and early childhood educators have a history of borrowing library books and resources to support the education of the children they work with every day. The Educator Card is a move to recognize and support their passion and enthusiasm for providing the children in our community with even more positive learning experiences through engaging books and activities.

Visit www.lpl.ca/educators for more information.

Enhanced Children’s Collection
Thanks to Library Donors, we are able to support this initiative for educators with 6,000 new books, boosting our collections with additional copies to ensure availability of high quality books on a wide range of educational topics for different ages. Look for the label identifying these books on our shelves! We will be featuring special displays at our library locations and creating Library Spotlights on topics ranging from STEM and STEAM to maker activities, financial literacy and lots more. The books have been selected by library staff for their high educational value and can be borrowed by everyone.

Our party will include a Read to the Bump story time, a fun way to introduce you to baby books and encourage you to start bonding with your baby before birth!

Story 2.
Read to Your Bump! Yes, it’s a thing to read to your bump. Studies show that reading, especially in the mother’s relaxed voice, calms the fetal heart rate and that the bond between parent and child starts prenatally. Babies usually become familiar with mom’s voice first but dads are getting involved by talking and reading to baby before birth. It’s never too early to start!

Story 3.
Talk, Sing, Read & Play Every Day. Literacy, right from the Start is a short video explaining the hugely positive impact that talking and reading to your baby has on their brain development. You can watch it on our website. www.lpl.ca/kids/earlyyears

Story 4.
Baby’s Book Bag. New and expecting parents can pick up a FREE bag of literacy resources at any London Public Library branch or Early ON Family Centre and receive 2 baby board books, a Sound Cloud song list, information on child development and free and low cost resources for families in the community, and more.

Story 1.
Making the Most of The Labs with Lynda.com.
In The Labs at Central Library, Londoners have access to industry-standard computer software for their creative projects like producing and editing sound recordings, videos and photographs. Alan Thomson, our Digital Literacy Facilitator, regularly meets people who are teaching themselves to use that software to its full potential. Alan is always recommending Lynda.com as a simple and accessible way to learn programs like GarageBand, Pro Tools and Adobe Creative Suite, all of which are available on the computers in The Labs. Lynda.com is an online education service recognized for its high quality instructional videos and certificate courses by industry experts in technology, software, business and creative skills. Your Library Card provides you with free access to this amazing resource in L P L’s digital collection.
Alan has used Lynda.com himself and considers it a fantastic tool for learning software programs as well as other technologies and skills. To get started, he suggests searching for videos with the word Essentials in the title, saying those can take you from complete beginner to an intermediate level in using the resources in The Labs. He says there are even tutorials on using the Green Screen and lighting equipment available in the Media Lab. Beyond The Labs, Lynda.com has a lot to offer anyone looking to add to their existing skill base or go in a new direction with their learning, including web design, writing code, marketing products, business start ups and more. With more than 144,000 instructional videos, Lynda.com has something for everyone. 
Visit www.lpl.ca/Lynda

Coming this fall, news about Lynda.com
Lynda.com is changing to LinkedIn Learning this fall. The same high quality instructional videos by experts in technology, software, business and creative skills will be offered, but the number of courses will increase to 13,000, including new courses in seven languages. Library users will need to register again and create a new profile. Previous courses and certificates will still be available if you use the same email address for your new account.

Story 2.
The Labs are turning one! September 29 is the first anniversary of the opening of The Labs at Central Library!

Library Settlement Partnership. Celebrating 10 Years of Services to Newcomers.
Evelyn Diaz has been an L S P worker at London Public Library for the full ten years that we have been providing services to newcomers (with our community partners) in library locations. She finds it very rewarding to help newcomers integrate successfully into Canadian society, partly because she herself was new to Canada 16 years ago. She says, “I know how it feels to be in a new place where services, programs and people are so different from your previous home.”
Hind Omer has also been providing L S P services at the Library for almost ten years and has seen the positive results for the newcomers she has helped who are now established in their lives, working, raising families and fully participating in our community. She remembers a client, an electrical engineer in his country, who knew his skills were needed in the Canadian workforce, but was unable to work in his field because of the language barrier. She has seen his progress in working toward his goals and today he speaks English fluently, has graduated from Fanshawe College and is a successful electrician.
We hear from newcomers how much they value the L S P services in our libraries as they are finding their way in a new culture, learning a new language and navigating new systems. They tell us that our L S P workers have helped them understand processes for Canadian citizenship application, making refugee claims, evaluating educational documents, accessing community services and more. Ten years later, we are celebrating the L S P service and the many success stories of newcomers.
L S P Services are a partnership with London Public Library, LUSO Community Services and South London Neighbourhood Resource Centre, funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
