Libraries Remember
On September 11, 2006, the Bensenville Community Public Library (IL) will offer to anyone with an internet connection, but particularly schools and libraries, a totally free program, Libraries Remember. This year, we will focus on the Holocaust, and we will present Marion Lazan, the author of Four Perfect Pebbles: a Holocaust Story.
At 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Mrs. Lazan will speak to the children of the world, and to anyone with an internet connection. For about 30 minutes, she will tell her story, and then she will take questions from those listening. More information about Mrs. Lazan
and the program can be found at: www.librariesremember.net.
To participate, you do need to register, and instructions are given at the website above. To join in the program, you will simply go to the designated web page, enter your name, and download a small applet that will take about 20 seconds to load. You will then end up in the online auditorium. Turn on your speakers, and you will hear the program and see the visuals that will accompany it. If you have a microphone attached to your computer, you will be able to speak with Mrs. Lazan and with everyone else participating.
Many libraries and schools will be projecting the program to larger groups and classes. You are welcome to make any arrangements you like to insure the greatest possible participation.
If you have questions, please send them to: billerbes@yahoo.com.
You may sign up by sending to Bill the name of your town, the name of your institution, and the number of computers you would like to login to the program. All of the login information will be sent out to registrants in August, and there will be several days designated prior to the program when everyone can log in, look around, and make sure everything is working properly.
