1000 Books Before Kindergarten
10:00 AM


Introducing a new free early literacy program which encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before he or she begins kindergarten!

The program entails reading any book to your newborn, infant and/or toddler before they start kindergarten.  It may sound hard to do, but it really is not! If you read just one book a night together, you will have read 365 books in a year!  That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years!  There are no restrictions as to which book you read or how many times you read it!  It can include books read to your child by a teacher, a sibling, or during Story Time.  Each experience counts as a book read!

On the Danube: From Budapest to Amsterdam
1:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Travelling through the heart of Europe by way of its Danube, Main, and Rhine River arteries is an education in cultural anatomy. This 2016 river cruise with world traveler George Jabol starts with proud and beautiful Budapest. Not far upstream lies romantic Vienna, displaying elegant architecture and one of the world’s richest musical heritages. The journey passes through a dozen historic settings, replete with legends and charm, such as the abbey at Melk and cities like Regensburg, Koblenz and Cologne, and includes a stop to explore authentic Dutch windmills at Kinderdijk. At the northern end of this journey is vibrant Amsterdam, the city of canals, flowers, and the art of Rembrandt and Van Gogh.

George Jabol received his B.A. degree from Muskingum College in Ohio, and a Ph.D. in English language and literature from the University of Michigan. Fully retired now from a career with the federal government, George creates photographic slide shows as a way to remember his travels and share them with others.

The Love, Lure and Lore of the Laundry Line
6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

The laundry line? What’s there to talk about? Clothesline historian and hobbyist Anne Lawrence will take you on a nostalgic trip back in time to the days when everyone hung their wash on the line to dry – when they went online without the internet! There will be memories to share, links between the clothesline and social/cultural issues, history, feminism, psychology, sociology, and ecology. You will hear why “solar drying” – that wonderful free sun – is once again the way to go in today’s eco-conscious world. There will be personal stories, delightful slides to see, along with a peek at Lawrence’s vast collection of laundry memorabilia. We may end up with a laundry list of things to think about, but she won’t leave us hanging while airing her thoughts. She will pin things down for us, and try to remove any hang-ups we may have about using the clothesline. So, come join us and let’s hang out together!

Anne Lawrence is an alumna of Tufts University in psychology and education. She enjoyed a 20-year career in university administration at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. Since retiring and relocating to Ann Arbor 13 years ago, she has been happily sharing her hobby with people all over the area.

A Day in the Life of an Ancient Roman on Zoom
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Much of what we know about Roman daily life comes to us not from the city of Rome, but from Pompeii and other cities in the Bay of Naples which were buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE. Cities were buried under more than 20 feet of stone and ash, which helped to preserve a literal snapshot of what was happening right before the eruption. What is your daily routine? Wake up, eat breakfast, brush teeth, work, exercise, come home, eat dinner, and bed? Sounds about right, with some variation in there? Do you think the ancient Romans had a different daily routine – or was it the same? Join the University of Michigan’s Kelsey Museum of Archaeology on Zoom as we discover what a day in the life of a citizen of ancient Rome was like, based on evidence gathered from the ruins of Pompeii.

Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85637069868.

Fact & Myth in Psychology

Which of these should you believe and which should you doubt? Old people aren’t interested in sex. Money can’t buy happiness. You can believe media reports of medical breakthroughs. Lie detectors work. We only use 10% of our brains. ESP is real. Some people are born gay. Hypnosis is powerful. We repress bad memories.  Examine these and more with Dr. Gordon Hammerle, adjunct professor at Siena Heights University and professor emeritus at Adrian College, and there may be some surprising answers.

Adventure on the Rhine River
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

We will take a pictorial tour along the Rhine River from Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam, exploring several cities along the way with their historic buildings and vineyards with world traveler Dr. Andy Jorgensen. We begin in Basel visiting a quaint pharmaceutical museum which includes a replica of an alchemist’s laboratory. The city boasts many other important venues, such the 17th century Kunstmuseum, which is the first publicly available museum for art in the world. Another stop is Strasbourg with its timber-framed homes and businesses, including Reisling wineries. The nationality of this town depended upon which country won the last war, Germany or France, so it is quite multicultural. A long stretch of the river includes dozens of castles, some decaying and others thriving. A high point will be a visit to the striking Gothic cathedral in Cologne. Touring this area would not be complete without peeking into a working Dutch windmill. These massive structures pump water to prevent flooding in much of the country.

Dr. Jorgensen is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toledo. He has spent considerable time living and studying in Europe over the past several decades.

Follow the Drinking Gourd: Underground Railroad
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Few periods of United States history are more important and less understood than the years leading to the Civil War. That is particularly true of the Underground Railroad. The origin of the term is unclear; a slavecatcher is believed to have uttered the phrase “the slaves disappeared, like they had boarded a railway underground.” The proximity to Canada via the Detroit River put Michigan on the map of Underground Railroad routes. Washtenaw County was the next to the last stop before arriving at the river. For many, it was the most dangerous point of the journey, since the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 made it a crime to harbor “runaways.” Join us as we follow one family’s story with historian Rochelle Balkam.

Balkam taught history and government at Ypsilanti High School for 36 years, and taught Michigan history at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) for 27 years. She holds an M.A. degree in history and an M.S. in historic preservation from EMU. Rochelle serves on the board of the Michigan One-Room Schoolhouse Association, and formerly served on the board of the Historical Society of Michigan and the Ann Arbor Historic Commission.

Barbie: Extraordinary Toy Icon Part I on Zoom
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

 

The most popular doll on the planet, Barbie, is still going strong after 65 years! Barbie has proven she still creates social buzz with the “pink summer” surrounding the 2023 release of her first live-action movie. Along the way she has significantly impacted social values in pop culture by modeling female independence, has been the subject of social controversy, run for U.S. President six times, literally travelled into space twice – AND has done it all looking great, in the latest fashions. Not bad, given that everyone except her creator was sure she would be a failure from the start. Mattel reports that there is a Barbie sold somewhere in the world every second. Millions of girls own and play with Barbies, and she has hundreds of thousands of collectors around the world. Perhaps you played with Barbie or are a collector yourself. Plan to share your thoughts about Barbie during our time together; join Barbie enthusiast Mary Bondarenko and other class members in going down memory lane with this toy icon. 

Bondarenko is a retired management trainer from a fortune 500 company. She has been active in Elderwise in Ann Arbor for seven years, and is looking forward to being back in teaching mode for the first time since retiring.

Part II of the lecture will be streamed on Zoom on Monday afternoon, August 12th from 1 p.m., to 3 p.m.

Scenic Beauty of Iceland
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

A trip to Iceland has long been on world traveler George Jabol’s bucket list. Although covering only six days, this 2023 journey proved long on extraordinary scenic beauty. The trip began with a comprehensive city tour of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, which included visits to the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church and the Northern Lights Center, followed by an evening search for the mysterious swirling and dancing Aurora Borealis. A unique adventure followed with a visit to the Blue Lagoon, a natural pool of mineral-rich geothermal water set in the middle of a lava field in the Icelandic wilderness. A full day’s tour called the Golden Circle showcased the Thingvelir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site located where the European and North American tectonic plates meet. Another tour visited the southern coast of Iceland where there is a black sand coastline, the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss waterfall, and other stunning scenery. This active, long-awaited trip kept Jabol’s camera exceedingly busy and was truly the fulfillment of a dream. 

Jabol received his B.A. degree from Muskingum College in Ohio, and a Ph.D. in English language and literature from the University of Michigan. Fully retired now from a career with the federal government, George creates photographic slide shows as a way to remember his travels and share them with others.

The Genesis & Metamorphosis of the Michigan Militia
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

The Michigan militia movement began in the late 1970s, and foreshadowed the growth of the movement nationwide. As an FBI agent in Michigan, Greg Stejskal had extensive involvement with Mark Koernke, “Mark from Michigan,” one of the founders of the movement. Later Stejskal was involved in the investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing, which had a substantial Michigan connection. In this class, we will discuss these events, and how extreme elements of the militia movement have become a domestic threat, with their involvement in a plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan, and the January 6, 2023, insurrection at the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C.

Greg Stejskal is a retired special agent of the FBI having served from 1975-2006. He has also written a book, FBI Case Files Michigan – Tales of a G-Man, chronicling some of the cases in which he was involved during his career, some involving the Michigan militia.

Native American Folklore & Legends on Zoom
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Native American author Carole Lynn Hare, author of The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi, will set Ojibwe legend straight.

The Kitch-iti-kipi (The Big Spring) is one of Michigan’s most popular tourist attractions. Many folk tales exist about this natural wonder found deep in the woods of the Upper Peninsula. Many of those stories were admittedly made up by John I. Bellair, a local businessman in the 1920s, in an effort to attract more visitors to the area. But what is the authentic Native American legend of Kitch-iti-kipi? Carole’s story has been passed down orally in her Native American family for more than one hundred years. Although Natives seldom write down their folklore, the author’s great-great-aunt actually did write this legend in a published booklet which was found when she passed away in 1969. That booklet was the author’s inspiration for this book. The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi reads like a Native version of Romeo and Juliet. In it, the deep love between a handsome brave and a young maiden drives a powerful chief to act out his jealousy. The results are tragic for all three!

This special event will also be streamed on Facebook Live, which can be viewed from the library’s Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Tecumseh-District-Library-192148050127/.

Artists Who Remained Creative in Their Later Years on Zoom
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Inspired by the book Last Light: How Six Great Artists Made Old Age a Time of Triumph by Richard Lacayo, this virtual class with art historian Helen Weingarten will focus on four of the artists Lacayo identifies:Titian, Goya, Monet, and Matisse. A common prejudice is that the creativity of the artist inevitably wanes in their later years. In this presentation we will not only see for ourselves great works of art produced by artists in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, but also consider these works within a historical and biographical context. 

Helen Weingarten is an emeritus associate professor in the School of Social Work at the University of Michigan. She has studied art history and literature since her undergraduate years at Cornell University, and has continued to pursue these interests during her many travels around the world.

This special event will also be streamed on Facebook Live, which can be viewed from the library’s Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Tecumseh-District-Library-192148050127/.

No one will be allowed to enter the Zoom meeting after 2:05 p.m.; you are welcome to join the live stream on Facebook at time that is convenience for you.
