Paws to Read at Rock Island Library this Summer! Entries for Pet Parade, Summer Education Program Enrollment Open Now

By Lisa Lockheart

Rock Island, IL: With more than 86 events on the summer schedule, reading "goes to the dogs and cats" at Rock Island Public Libraries with Paws to Read Summer Reading contests, education and fun for all ages from June 2 to August 2.

To kick off summer in a big way, the Rock Island Library will host the Paws to Read Summer Reading Carnival from noon to 3:00 pm on Saturday, June 7. Activities include summer reading registration and prizes, hourly prize drawings, a children's bounce house, games, mascot visits, free face painting, magic, chalk art, and special presentations, including a K-9 police demo, and a costumed pet parade.

Entries are being accepted now for the Paws to Read pet parade. The costumed pet parade is open to any pet with paws that can walk on a leash or be carried in a secure carrier. Entry forms are available at Rock Island Public Libraries, or via the library website at the Summer@ Your Library menu. Pets and their owners earn prizes for best reading theme, best pet-owner match and most original entry. Entries should be returned to Rock Island Libraries by May 31.

Parents of school-age children can also enroll their children now in free six-week long summer education programs that start the week of June 9 at the Main Library:

·         Paws for Drama, for grades 4 to 8, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays;

·         Paws for Art, for grades 3 to 7, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm on Tuesdays, and

·         Paws for Math, grades 2 and up, from 3:15 to 5:15 pm on Tuesdays.

Registration is required. To sign up, call the Children's Room at 309-732-7360. Paws for Art and Paws for Drama are sponsored by the Geifman Memorial of the Rock Island Public Library Foundation.

Registration and entry forms for the library's summer reading contests for children, adults and teens will be available starting June 2. The first 500 people who register will receive a prize. Beyond free summer fun, Rock Island Library events help prevent summer learning loss. Free educational activities for children and families range from weekly storytimes and reading with therapy dogs to special music performances, "Mad Science" and "Reptile Experience" events. According to national research, students without access to summer learning score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer, and may lose up to two months of grade level math computation skills. Summer reading also helps students maintain vocabulary and reading comprehension.

Summer events also include a June 4  "The Fault in Our Stars" celebration for teens and adults, Teen Robot Building, Mini-Golf and Survival Day events for ages 12 to 18, and lifelong learning events, including a June 27 late-night Star Gazing program for ages 12 and older, technology topics, and presentations on dog obedience, native mammals, and more.

For more information about Rock Island Summer Reading, visit any Rock Island Main, 30/31 or Southwest Branches, go to www.rockislandlibrary.org call 309-732-READ (7323.)

Founded in 1872, the Rock Island Public Library serves the area through three locations, which include the Main, 30/31 and Southwest Branches, community outreach efforts, and online opportunities that provide resources to enhance personal achievement and stimulate the imagination.

Extreme Kids Helping Kids Day

By Jennifer Schroder

River Bend Foodbank will celebrate "Extreme Kids Helping Kids" on Saturday, April 26, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.  This family and kid-oriented event will be held in their new and larger facility at 4010 Kimmel Drive in Davenport.  It is an opportunity to teach school-aged kids about service to others while having fun at the same time.

Since most food drives happen in the fall, the Foodbank is especially needy in the spring when supplies are low.  Families, school and other youth groups are encouraged to collect and bring non-perishable food items to the Foodbank where they can enter to win prizes for the largest contribution (by weight). There will be family entertainment by the area's top children's entertainers. Special stations will be set up with, face painting, clowning, balloon artistry, caricature drawing and more, in a carnival-like atmosphere.  Entry to the event is free.

River Bend Foodbank has been serving the greater Quad-City area since 1982.  In addition to larger warehouse space, the new facility now has industrial-sized refrigeration; making it possible to provide even more fresh and refrigerated foods.

 

River Bend Foodbank is the largest hunger relief organization in the Quad Cities and surrounding communities, distributing more than 8 million lbs of food annually to more than 300 charitable feeding programs throughout a 22 county service area in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. Childhood hunger programs include the Backpack Program which provides up to 1700 Quad City children with nourishing food to take home on the weekends during the school year, the Kids Café Program providing evening meals to children at three sites, and the Mobile Food Pantry which directly feeds thousands of families each month.

Working Families Honor 229 Illinois and Iowa Workers Who Died on the Job

By Mike Nicholas

Workers Memorial Day Calls for Good Jobs and Safe Jobs for All Working People

[Bettendorf, IA]-Workers, community members and local officials will gather at the United Steelworkers Local 105 Hall for a Workers Memorial Day Service to commemorate those who have suffered injuries or illness or died on the job and to call on Congress to create and maintain safe jobs for all working people.

The service will be held on April 26, 2014 at 10:30am, with the hall opening at 10:00am. The USW Local 105 Union Hall is located at 880 Devils Glen Road, Bettendorf, IA

USW Local 105, IBEW 1379 and ALCOA Davenport Works leadership invite Quad City area working families to join us in a national observance of Workers Memorial Day. This is a time for working families and union members to commemorate sisters and brothers who have died or been injured on the job.

In 2012, the Department of Labor reports that a combined 229 workers were killed on the job site in Illinois and Iowa, in addition to 170,500 reported workplace injuries. These numbers are simply unacceptable. 2013 workplace fatality and injury statistics are not yet available.

Janice Payne will sing a solo and members from AFM Local 67 will play TAPS.  Refreshments will be served after the service.

For further information, please contact Mike Nicholas, USW Local 105 Financial Secretary, at 563-355-1181.
