ESL Tutor Training Class (session 1 of 5)
|
|
| |
|
Looking for a very satisfying part-time activity that has a flexible schedule? Want to make new friends and learn about another culture? Liz Cabot will lead this well-established and successful curriculum that helps provide tutors with insights as well as materials and techniques that help prepare a tutor. Our sessions allow plenty of time for individual questions and concerns, and the 10 or so class participants learn from one another as they try out various exercises and strategies with helpful feedback. Attending every one of the 5 classes is important to get the cumulative effects of the training. After the course, tutors are matched with learners already on a library wait list, and are expected to work with that learner for a minimum of 15 hours (commonly 1 or 1 1/2 hr. meetings). But most tutors carry on their sessions well beyond that time because these relationships are so rewarding on both sides. These learners after all are highly motivated, appreciative of your volunteer efforts, and willing to do their best. Lessons turn out to be quite varied and tailored to the individual tastes and availabilities. I'd love to have you join my next course, beginning Monday, September 16. Sign up at the Library Information Desk, call 781-786-6165 or email tflannery@minlib.net if you have further questions.

Stealing Rembrandts
|
|
| |
|
Anthony Amore, Director of Security at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, will be speaking on Stealing Rembrandts a history of art heists involving the works of the great Dutch painter and etcher. Amore's lecture will include details about the unsolved Gardner Museum heist in 1990, when two thieves, disguised as policemen, stole 13 pieces of artwork valued at $500 million from the museum during the late hours of St. Patrick's Day. The thieves stole a Rembrandt painting called "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee," as well as pieces by Vermeer, Degas and Manet. All 13 pieces remain missing to date. Amore has been leading efforts to track down the missing artwork since he was hired at the museum in 2005. In March, the FBI announced they now know the identities of the thieves, but have yet to solve the crime.
