July LIBRARY 98 NEWS Teen Reading Club This summer there is a lot going on for young people at the Library. If you look under Youth Services in this newsletter you will find a whole raft of summer programs for young people. Much of this is the kind of programming and activi- ties that we do every year with financial assistance for some of the prizes from the Friends of the Library. This year however, there is something new! We are proud to launch our first ever TEEN READING CLUB. It is designed for young people in grades 8 to 12 and will run from June 29 to August 29. To participate, teens simply need to pick up their “Wild About Books" booklet and read books to collect silver stickers. These will make them eligible to receive coupons for free food and other fabulous prizes*. The following local restaurants and businesses have gener- ously donated to our Teen Summer Reading Club: Bagel Street Cafe Dairy Queen KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken MacDonald’s Restaurant Orange Julius Quizno’s Subs Subway Sandwiches & Salads Suntech Optics Thank you for your support! *while quantities last. WEST VANCOUVER MEMORIAL LIBRARY 1950 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, BC,V7V 1J8 Tel: (604) 925-7400 Library Hours: (504) 925-7401 Fax: (604) 925-5933 Modem Acc.: 925-7409 URL: www.wvml.jeslacs.bc.ca K E I' E K E N C E S E E I C’> E S In today’s world of high-tech materialism, we continue to find lively interest in philosophy, a subject often classed in what has been dubbed the “soft arts.” However, a growing number of philosophers might dispute this taxonomy with the rise of such computer-based subdisciplines as artificial intelligence, computer theory, cognitive science, cybernet- ics, and connectionism, lending testimony to evidence that philosophy has enrolled in the electronic age. It is, there- fore, timely for Reference to be in receipt of a newly-pub- lished, 10-volume wonderwork. The Routledge Encyclo- pedia of Philosophy â€" a set that could only be purchased through the generous efforts of the Friends of the Library. This is the most important philosophy encyclopaedia since the \961-Edwards Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The new Routledge set includes investigations into philosophies of the past, and meets more recent developments of the last 30 years of intensive philosophical activity since the Edwards edition â€" also found in the Reference collection. Everyone’s talking about the World Cup these days, even in North America â€" the only place they don’t call it foot- ball. The origins of both American football and European (read “World”) football are of common ancestry. During the 12th century, the term for “kicking the bladder” (or leather ball) was named/«r balle when the game began to be played on a field with boundaries. Variations offiit balle evolved into football (soccer) and rugby football, mutating overseas into American and Canadian football. The term soccer, used in North America to avoid confusion, was derived from a combination of “association” and “Oxford- cr,” otherwise called Association Football, the original phrase for “rugby” â€" just to further confuse things. ADULT S E U V' 1 C E S IN THE GALLERY ...Photography by three North Shore artists will be on display June 29 - August 1. “Wallflowers” - photograms by Barbara Worth. Barbara’s work speaks to issues of women’s work, blooming sexual- ity, gender wars and the tensions between creativity, iden- tity and forced gender roles. “Portraits of the Earth” - photography by Heather Fisher. Heather brings 20 years of experience to her work. Early on she discovered her unique eye and love of form, texture and light. She continues to use a manual 35 mm Nikon camera with a 52 mm lens. “Visions” - photography by Negar Majzub. Negar’s work attempts to capture the essence of the narrative, to reveal the essential threads that correct the unseen beginnings and the unforeseen ending of the unfolding story. She seeks to capture the essence of a particular time and place - a mo- ment suspended in memory. Reception, artists in attendance, June 29,7:30 - 8:30 p.m. Most works are for sale.
