SUMMARY:100\,000 Books Campaign: Free Book Fair
DESCRIPTION:United Way’s 100\,000 Books initiative is giving away new and gently used books to support your students’ developing reading skills.  A variety of books are available for various age groups\, although this year’s selection appears to have more in the pre-k to 3rd-grade range. \nTo qualify\, your program must use a mentor – reader model. This event is first come – first serve\, so show up early. Bringing boxes is recommended. Register here. \nWhat is 100\,000 Books?\n100\,000 Books builds on research that demonstrates the importance of connecting a caring adult or older student with a child.  This mentor model has been shown to have a significant impact on the life of a child and will be the primary model that 100\,000 Books uses to support reading skills development.  Mentors (teachers\, librarians\, youth workers\, caring adults\, older students…) will reinforce reading skills through one time and on-going read-along opportunities that will help kids to build this critical love of reading. \nQuestions\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Tanya Baronti at tanya.baronti@unitedwayswpa.org or Joe Welsh at joe.welsh@unitedwayswpa.org.

SUMMARY:Tickets for Kids Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for Kids and the Sto-Rox Library announced the discussion dates for their new collaborative book club. The book chosen by their group is: “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City” by Matthew Desmond. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize\, this book was also the One Book One Community choice of the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Public Health. \nIf you would like to attend\, RSVP to Jennifer Gray by email (jgray@forstorox.org) or phone (412.771.1222). Parking is located in the parking lot on the side of the building\, PNC parking lot after banking hours\, or on the street. \nDiscussion Dates\nDiscussions will be held at the Sto-Rox Library on the following dates: \n\nDecember 10\, 2018: 4-5:30 PM\nFebruary 11\, 2019: 6-7:30 PM\nApril 8\, 2019: 6-7:30 PM\nJune 10\, 2019: 6-7:30 PM\n\nAbout the Book\n“Evicted” by Matthew Desmond describes the plight of poor families who\, for want of a few dollars\, are forced to move from their homes\, apartments\, or trailers. An ethnographer\, Desmond shares the intimate vicissitudes of his subject/friends as they struggle to make ends meet while negotiating a bewildering system of slumlords\, public agencies\, law enforcement\, and courts\, a system that seems almost designed to reinforce a downward spiral of poverty. The consequences of eviction are especially felt by mothers with young children\, whose development is jeopardized by substandard housing\, low-quality neighborhoods\, and poor nutrition. \n*Information provided by Tickets for Kids Charities and Pitt Public Health*

SUMMARY:UnConference: Play for Change
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative and Philadelphia Playful Learning Landscapes\, join us on Tuesday\, October 30\, at the Carnegie Museum of Art in the Oakland community of Pittsburgh for UnConference: Play for Change\, a day-long event to think critically about play. There will be keynote speakers\, lightning talks\, hands-on activities and action plan time. \nWe will convene 25 teams of 5-7 individuals from neighborhoods\, boroughs\, and cities from across southwest Pennsylvania and West Virginia to: \n\nExplore WHAT is play\, and WHY play?\nUnderstand the play continuum and the role of “playful learning\,” such as the Six C’s (critical thinking\, communication\, collaboration\, culture/community\, creativity\, and connectivity) and their importance in positioning our children for the future.\nConsider a “play community.” Why they are important? And\, how to define a vision\, mission\, purpose\, and goals in the creation of your own playful community. We’ll talk about lessons learned from the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative and the Philadelphia Playful Learning Landscapes.\nLearn more about transforming public spaces into community play and playful learning spaces such as hands on installations of playful learning modules.\nDevelop action plans for infusing play in your community. What challenges at the school\, neighborhood or city-level do you think ‘play’ may help address in your own community? How do we design communities with intention to address these challenges? We’ll talk about the Hazelwood Play Trail case study.\n\nAll while considering issues of equity\, transportation\, safety\, play across the ages\, community input and more. \nRegistration is now closed.
