YOUR FREE GUIDE TO CLASSES & CULTURE MAR.APR.MAY 2018

from the director You talked. We listened.

O

ver the past two years, Kitsap Regional Library staff met with individuals and groups engaging in more than 300 unique conversations across Kitsap County. We talked with community leaders. We talked with the quieter voices in our community. We talked with people just like you. We asked what you want for the future, not of the Library, but of our shared community. These conversations were vital in identifying where our current services overlap with the needs of our community, and which services we should be investing in more. From these discussions our levy plan was developed — a promise to work together to build a Library that supports your dreams for a stronger community.

With the passage of the levy comes certainty of financial stability, allowing us to move passionately towards bringing these promises to life. At your local library you may soon notice:  New public computers featuring Microsoft Office — tools vital to providing career opportunity access and advancement  Additional librarians in Kingston, Little Boston, Manchester, Downtown Bremerton and Silverdale — to better assist the unique needs of individual communities  Updates to early learning areas — with better tools for storytimes, expanded board book collections and more interactive spaces for our youngest patrons

Jill Jean, director of Kitsap Regional Library.

The return of Sunday hours as part of our levy initiative was very popular with all that we talked to. Hiring has already begun to support new hours, and you can expect to see Sundays return to the Library on May 6 at Bainbridge Island, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Silverdale and Sylvan Way.  Updates to printing and copying — improving the user experience  And, on KRL.org, more eBooks and audiobooks — shortening wait times for popular materials The return of Sunday hours as part of our levy initiative was very popular with all that we talked to. Hiring has already begun to support new hours, and you can expect to see Sundays return to the Library on May 6 at Bainbridge Island, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Silverdale and Sylvan Way. Also, we are anticipating many improvements to our spaces over the

next several years. In the short term, look for new meeting room chairs at Silverdale, new automatic doors at Manchester and in Poulsbo new carpet for the meeting room and a new roof in late spring.

And, already a reality, for only the second time in 11 years, Kitsap Regional Library’s hardworking staff has received a cost of living increase in January. A definite win!

We take the promises we made to you in November very seriously, and we cannot wait to show you what your Kitsap Regional Library can do.

Anyone Can Lead Teen Advisory Board

W

hen teens come to the library, few know going in that their perspective can shape the library in exciting ways. Meet the Teen Advisory Board — a group of teens who are making a difference in their community, shaping the course of our library and giving feedback on what we do together. Members of the Teen Advisory Boards (TAB) come from diverse backgrounds. From the shy creative who came out of her shell to co-direct a feature-length original movie, or the Running Start student looking for a welcoming space in their community, to a teen turned library volunteer who became a leader in his Junior ROTC at school, all young adults are welcome at TAB meetings. Youth voice makes Library services stronger, more authentic, and generally awesome — and the programs they create are by teens, for teens. As one teen leader put it, TAB “gives us the opportunity to expand our skills in teamwork and leadership by resolving disputes, delegating tasks and making cooperative decisions.” In return, teens get a boost in confidence knowing their ideas are heard and they will be part of what happens at the Library. Join in a TAB meeting near you and have your voice heard!

Community Learning Internships Community Learning Internships are paid, 100-hour experiences that focus on college and career goals.

The internships provide amazing opportunities for our community’s emerging leaders to explore their future.

Sylvan Way library’s Teen Advisory Board

Elizabeth, a teen intern, wants to become a dental hygienist and through her internship was able to job shadow in a dentists’ office.

At Bainbridge, Lia was able to bridge her interests of engineering and art to lead programs for youth.

“This internship has given me the opportunity to share my interests, connect with the community and help the library move into the digital future,” Lia said.

While internships are a great chance for teens to plan their pathway, it can also help them gain the necessary confidence to succeed in their goals.

At Sylvan Way, Emily focused her internship on improving conditions for new adults — individuals who are 18-21 years old who are entering adulthood. She found that many were unemployed and not enrolled in school. Through this project, Emily discovered that “sometimes unexpected things happen, good and bad, and that's OK. Sometimes you're going to have to do scary

things to stand up for what you believe.” She interviewed leaders in Bremerton and presented her findings to the Library Board of Trustees. “Do those scary things. They are worth it.”

The projects that interns create are just one piece of an overall experience. “The Library has become a safe-haven for my passions and a place that leaves me in awe, even after working here for months,” said Anna at the Downtown Bremerton location, “I hope you look back on your internship, as I do mine, as a highlight in your young adult life.”

Internships are supported by a grant through the Institute of Museum and Library Services and provide teens and young adults ages 16-25 with the opportunity to gain real world job experience while developing 21st century skills.

cover story A Library & a Legacy Connect a Community

R

oosevelt Smith’s grandfather was chased out of Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan for complaining about sharecroppers’ living conditions. His father marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the height of the civil rights movement. And Smith was a high school student living in Memphis, TN, in 1968, when King was gunned down in that city.

“That night was unbelievable and it’s still in my soul,” said Smith, who recalls details with aching clarity — the sweetness of honeysuckle mixed with acrid rubber fumes from the nearby Firestone tire plant, the tragic news bulletin interrupting dance music on the radio, the wail of sirens and staccato beat of gunshots as violence erupted, and the roar of troop-filled trucks after the city declared martial law.

It’s one of the reasons the Downtown Bremerton location of Kitsap Regional Library means so much to Smith, now a Bremerton art, jewelry and antiques dealer. Twenty years ago, the 1938 art deco building was renamed in honor of King after a push by African-American community leaders, including the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

“Dr. King changed my life,” said Smith, who as a

Rosa Parks By refusing to move to the back of a city bus in 1955, “the mother of the freedom movement” began what led to the Montgomery bus boycott — a turning point in the American civil rights movement. This image of Parks, along with the cover image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., are now part of a public art project by the Bremerton Arts Council and Kitsap Regional Library.

young man challenged the civil rights leader’s non-violent philosophy but eventually came to embrace it. “This man said, ‘Let’s love these people,’ and I thought you must be crazy. But as I matured, I realized this is what I must teach my kids and my grandkids and my great-grandkids.”

Smith donated a historic photograph of King from his personal collection for display in the downtown location and said the Library and King stand for many of the same things — diversity, inclusiveness, equality and education.

Those shared values are key to a new effort by the Library to honor King and fellow civil rights leader Rosa Parks, whose refusal to move to the back of a city bus led to the Montgomery bus boycott and a turning point in the quest for equality.

As part of a Bremerton public art project, the Library has created portraits of King and Parks that will adorn adjoining utility boxes at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Burwell Street.

“Bremerton is the most diverse city this side of the Narrows bridge,” Smith said. “Our art in the community should reflect that diversity.”

Tracy Flood, president of the local NAACP chapter, worked with Library graphic artist David Frazier to choose photographs that became the basis for portraits with a pop-art sensibility.

Both pieces are created in vibrant teal, yellow, orange and red, the library’s signature palette, and feature quotes from the leaders.

“I wanted to show not only what people are familiar with when they think of Rosa Parks and Dr. King, I wanted to show what their entire careers encompassed,” Flood said.

She said the likeness of Parks shows her courage and determination, while King’s focuses on his role as the voice of the civil rights movement, a man who put his words into action.

“He said that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” Flood said. “That was what he was about.

He wanted justice for people of color, for poor people. No matter what race, creed or religion you were, he wanted everyone to have justice.”

Like Smith, she sees a connection between the values of the two civil rights leaders and those of the library.

“It doesn’t matter who you are. If you’re in the county, you’re able to get a library card, and that speaks to some of the things Dr. King put in his ‘I have a dream’ speech.”

Community leader Harriette Bryant said she was pleased that the boxes were unveiled in February during Black History Month. “I just hope it sparks everybody’s interest to learn more about Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Both have a message that everybody can be a part of.”

And if people do want to learn more, she said, there’s no better place to start than the Library.

Tazsjah Green was 7 years old the day the Downtown Bremerton location was rededicated as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library. A photo in the Central Kitsap Reporter shows her sitting at a table in the Library, engrossed in a book and oblivious to the party atmosphere around her.

Two decades later, she’s still a patron of the downtown Library

location. She doesn’t remember much about the event and didn’t research King’s life until she was an adult. Still, she thinks the newspaper photo helped inspire her interest and she hopes the utility box portraits will play the same role for others, especially young people. “It’s all about spreading awareness.”

Pam Crowe was also a youngster when she first stepped into the downtown Library location. Today, she’s the manager. An AfricanAmerican whose family moved to Bremerton from Mississippi in the 1960s, Crowe said renaming the library was significant for the whole community, not just people of color, because it confirmed that everyone is welcome.

“All sorts of people walk through these doors, from government officials to families to people struggling through hard times,” she said. “When I applied for this job, in my cover letter I said I wanted to fill this role to serve with civility, dignity and respect. And I’m so happy to be part of a library system that values those things.”

SPRING EARLY LEARNING talk

... about why animals are waking up in spring.

Spring means animals are emerging from their winter naps or out with their babies enjoying the warmer weather. Talk to your child about the animals you see on your walks or hear from your house. When pointing out an animal, ask your child to make the animal sound. With babies, you make the sound. Hearing and making animal sounds helps kids hear the different sounds in language. When you hear an animal, but can’t see it, ask your child to guess what animal is making the sound. Follow up with a discussion about where they think the animal lives, what it eats, etc.

sing

... an action song with your child that incorporates lots of movement.

“I’m a Little Caterpillar“ (tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”) I’m a little caterpillar crawling by (finger creeps up arm)

read

I make a cocoon (one hand makes fist on other elbow) and I go to hide (circle fist around arm so it’s under other hand).

I rest for a while and sleep inside (pretend to sleep on hands).

When I come out I’m a butterfly (hands make butterfly).

... a recipe book about the making of soil.

“Compost Stew: An A to Z Recipe for the Earth” by Mary McKenna Siddals, illustrated by Ashley Wolff. This clever alphabet book lists the natural items you can compost. It’s a great opportunity to start talking about earth science and the environment, such as what happens when plants, animals and minerals break down and the makeup of soil. Or use it to make your own compost for your family garden.

write

... letters in the mud.

Spring in the Pacific Northwest often means rain, which can lead to lots of mud. Make rainy walks fun by helping your kids write letters in the mud with a stick. On sunny days, use sticks and rocks to create letters or words on the ground.

play

... outside and make new friends.

Get outside! Take your child to a park and let them run and climb with other kids. Meeting and playing with new kids is an important social and emotional skill to develop before kindergarten.
