There are many great resources available out there, but I want to highlight a few today for our Tuesday Tech Tip...
Lessons to explore the importance of Black history, express your identity, and celebrate the contributions of African Americans throughout history, during Black History Month, or any time of year.
The Office of Racial Equity and the Vermont Human Rights Commission are proud to announce a 28-day series to commemorate Black History Month. Every day in February, we will share one event, quote, resource, fact, or activity that spotlights the greatness of the Black community. We will also raffle books, tickets, and coffee (so you can stay awake to read the books, of course).
Vermont Humanities presents Andrew Aydin (form registration)
National Book Award winner Andrew Aydin, co-author of The March Trilogy with Congressman John Lewis returns to Vermont on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 10:00am with a special live-streamed event designed for middle and high school students at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland. The author will engage in a panel discussion with RUHS students and will speak about the creation of RUN!, the next book in the series. He’ll also discuss becoming a writer, how he became involved in politics, and his experiences working with Congressman Lewis. The Vermont Department of Libraries and the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences are very proud supporters of this program!
We also have two wonderful displays in the library. One featuring work by 8th grade students around their studies of Martin Luther King Jr. The other featuring a new poem by Amanda Gorman and a large variety of books to expand our learning. Stop by to take a look =).
