SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Surviving the Summer with The Last Kids on Earth and Max Brallier (3rd-6th Grade)
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://libraryc.org/lima/50153 \nWould you survive a zombie apocalypse? Join us to talk with New York Times bestselling author Max Brallier about The Last Kids on Earth\, both the book series and the animated series on Netflix. In this virtual event\, Max will share how he came up with the different monsters and villains as well as the unique ways that Jack and his friends figure out to defeat them. \nEver since the monster apocalypse hit town\, average thirteen year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree house\, which he’s armed to the teeth with catapults and a moat\, not to mention video games and an endless supply of Oreos and Mountain Dew scavenged from abandoned stores. But Jack alone is no match for the hordes of Zombies and Winged Wretches and Vine Thingies\, and especially not for the eerily intelligent monster known only as Blarg. So Jack builds a team: his dorky best friend\, Quint; the reformed middle school bully\, Dirk; Jack’s loyal pet monster\, Rover; and Jack’s crush\, June. With their help\, Jack is going to slay Blarg\, achieve the ultimate Feat of Apocalyptic Success\, and be average no longer! Can he do it? \n  \nAbout the Author \nMax Brallier is the New York Times bestselling author of more than fifty books\, including the middle-grade series\, The Last Kids on Earth. Under the pen name Jack Chabert\, Max is the creator and author of the Eerie Elementary series and author of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel Poptropica: Mystery of the Map.

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Learning the Power of Poetry with Bestselling Author Elizabeth Acevedo (9th-12th)
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://libraryc.org/lima/50581 \nYou’re invited to learn about the power of poetry with Elizabeth Acevedo! In this exciting author conversation and Q&A\, Acevedo will provide a short reading from her National Book Award winning and New York Times bestselling novel-in-verse\, The Poet X serving as the backdrop to this amazing chat! \nThe Poet X is about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves\, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say\, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook\, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman\, who her family can never know about. \nWith Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church\, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club\, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her\, Xiomara refuses to be silent. \nA virtual author talk you don’t want to miss–come create out loud with Elizabeth Acevedo! Register now! \nAbout the Author \nElizabeth Acevedo is the New York Times-bestselling author of The Poet X\, which won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature\, the Michael L. Printz Award\, the Pura Belpré Award\, the Carnegie medal\, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award\, and the Walter Award. She is also the author of numerous other titles including Family Lore; With the Fire on High\, which was named a best book of the year by the New York Public Library\, NPR\, Publishers Weekly\, and School Library Journal; and Clap When You Land\, a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor book and a Kirkus finalist. Acevedo has been a fellow of Cave Canem\, Cantomundo\, and a participant in the Callaloo Writer’s Workshops. She is a National Poetry Slam Champion\, and resides in Washington\, DC with her husband.

SUMMARY:A Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats with Scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 2nd at 2:00 PM EDT \n  \nRegister Here   \nJoin us in kicking off October as we welcome three Smithsonian-affiliated scientists to teach us about the remarkable world of tropical bats! \nFor decades\, scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute have studied the remarkable biodiversity of bats on Barro Colorado Island in Panama\, where an astonishing seventy-six species coexist. Now\, for the first time\, Smithsonian scientists’ expertise pairs with the stunning photography of National Geographic contributor Christian Ziegler for a captivating visual journey into the fascinating world of these elusive night creatures\, to bring you the book Bat Island: A Rare Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats. \nBats are unique among mammals: they have acquired true flight\, they provide essential ecosystem services\, and represent the ecologically most diverse group of mammals worldwide. Synthesizing decades-worth of intensive study\, Drs. Rachel Page\, Dina Dechmann\, Teague O’Mara\, and Marco Tschapka provide authoritative insight alongside 150 photographs that showcase bats’ extraordinary environmental adaptations and rich natural history. \nThis presentation will cover topics from the book\, such as the diverse sensory abilities of bats\, their foraging strategies\, roosting ecologies\, and social systems. Bat Island presents decades of study of the hyper diverse bat population on Barro Colorado Island in addition to the most comprehensive and long-term datasets on tropical bats. The book and this presentation highlights how bats are threatened by habitat fragmentation and land degradation\, and communicate the initiatives needed to ensure the survival of these animals\, which are critical to maintaining healthy\, balanced ecosystems. \nAnd let’s not forget\, the award-winning photojournalist Christian Ziegler’s photography as the images within the book illuminate the unique beauty and allure of bats and the tropical rainforest in Panama. Register now for this rare look into Bat Island! \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Rachel A. Page is a staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama\, where she leads the Smithsonian Bat Lab (www.noseleaf.org). She is broadly interested in animal behavior\, but her focus is understanding the sensory and cognitive tools bats use to navigate their worlds and interact with each other. After completing a BA at Columbia University and a PhD at the University of Texas at Austin\, Page conducted postdoctoral research as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen\, Germany. Page has studied bats on Barro Colorado Island and the surrounding areas for over two decades. She has a passion for understanding rich\, tropical ecosystems and the myriad species interactions they encompass. In addition to conducting her own research\, Page mentors a large group of students. Page lives at the edge of the rainforest in Gamboa\, Panama. \nDr. Dina K. N. Dechmann is a group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (www.ab.mpg.de/dechmann) and a research associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. An evolutionary ecologist by training\, her main research interest is how animals adapt to fluctuations in the resources upon which they depend. She is fascinated by how tiny mammals with fast metabolisms\, such as bats and shrews\, adapt their morphology\, physiology\, and behavior to deal with the bottlenecks created by changes in the food landscape. She works in ecosystems across the world\, but since her first visit to BCI in 2000\, she has been struck by the diversity of the tropical bat community\, which remains a cornerstone of her research. She received her master’s degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich followed by a PhD at the University of Zurich and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin. Since she was hired by Max Planck in 2009\, she has had the good fortune to supervise a group of brilliant young minds\, several of whom now run their own projects in Panama. Dechmann lives in the medieval town of Stein am Rhein in Switzerland. \nDr. M. Teague O’Mara is the Director of Conservation Evidence at Bat Conservation International\, where he works on data-driven strategies for the conservation of global bat populations. O’Mara has studied animal behavior\, movement\, and physiology across the globe\, with an emphasis on bats in Panama. He is a research associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior\, and an adjunct professor at Southeastern Louisiana University. He received his PhD from Arizona State University studying lemur development and social behavior\, and then switched to research with bats during postdoctoral work at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute\, the University of Konstanz\, and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany. He lives in Baton Rouge\, Louisiana.
