YOUTH PROGRAMS Meet Dot and Dash move around the room based on the information you send him. So how do they work? We recently welcomed two new members to our Library tech family: Dot and Dash, the coding robots. Dot is the brains of the outfit. Dot interacts with the world through his sensor eye and brings to life the code you create. Dash is all about action. Dash can dance, hop and Dot and Dash are controlled by apps on a smartphone or tablet. These apps turn coding into games, making it fun and simple for kids of any age to learn. Before you know it, you’re coding! The code you write can turn Dot into a hot potato for a fun game with friends, or navigate Dash through an obstacle course. “Dot and Dash spark kids’ curiosity,” says the Library’s Youth Services Director Amber Creger. “Kids get so excited to discover new games and activities for the robots. And all the while, they are learning coding, looking at the world in a new way and using their imaginations.” Look for Dot and Dash at upcoming Youth programs, including two Tween programs in September.

These SATs attend the board meetings to learn what’s happening at the Library and to share the views of the junior high and high school students who use the Library. Earlier this summer, we decided to check in with Avni Bavishi, SAT from the 2011-12 school year, to see where life has taken her in the last few years. “I attended University of Illinois at Chicago for my undergraduate years, and I’ve just completed my first year at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine,” Avni said. Wow! Color us impressed. “I’m planning on becoming an academic physician,” Avni continued. “That’s still pretty distant in 11 SCHAUMBURG TOWNSHIP DISTRICT LIBRARY • August/September 2016 my future, but I’d like to incorporate both teaching and clinical practice in my career.” Avni remembers her time as a Student Advisory Trustee fondly, saying it was a fantastic opportunity to go behind-the-scenes at a large, well-respected organization. She specifically noted her work in planning the Teen Place, saying, “It’s immensely satisfying to go back and see how much the teens use the area.” So what advice does the future Dr. Bavishi have for current high school students? “Get involved and get to know the people in your school,” Avni said. “My best memories and friendships from high school were formed through activities and sports. And if you love the Library, you should definitely consider applying to be a Student Advisory Trustee.” “I use the library often for books, and load books on my Kindle all the time.” ADULT PROGRAMS -Mary C., Schaumburg GENERAL INTEREST WRITERS GROUP FIND A WAY: THE DIANA NYAD STORY DROP IN • Central Rasmussen South Saturdays, Aug. 6, Aug. 20, Sept. 3, Sept. 17 & Oct. 1 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. No matter the genre, every piece of writing can benefit from a good critique.

Uncovering His Family’s History Hoffman Estates resident Fred Luft began using our genealogy research materials about two years ago, but his work on his family history began much earlier. “I first started a family tree by hand around 1970,” Fred said. “My mom was my inspiration. She started sending letters to Chicago Catholic parishes and to other family members in the 1950s, looking for more information about her family.” Today, Fred attends our monthly genealogy programs and uses the Library for free access to our genealogy materials to continue his research. “Between my wife and I, we have 3,472 people in our family tree on Ancestry. com,” Fred noted. But Fred is uncovering more than just the names of his distant relatives; he’s uncovering some very interesting stories, too. “The history of my great grandfather Charles Ory was very unexpected,” Fred said. Fred and his family always believed that Charles lived most of his life in Chicago with his wife and daughter. However, after much research, Fred learned that Charles Ory was born in France and lived there until 1888 when, at age 28, he immigrated to the United States with his wife and 15 SCHAUMBURG TOWNSHIP DISTRICT LIBRARY • August/September 2016 daughter. Then, while living in the Chicago area, Charles had three more children with that wife, and when she passed, he remarried and had five more children. In 1905, Charles moved to Michigan with his wife and many of his nine children. There’s even a story to accompany Charles’ passport photo, which Fred discovered through his research. “In 1919,” Fred said, “Charles got his passport and went to New York City where he planned to take a boat to France to visit his brothers and sisters.” But Charles’ steamship was held on the docks due to a union strike and Charles was never able to travel to France. “I want to thank Schaumburg Library for having a person like [Genealogy Librarian] Tony Kierna, who is always looking for additional ways to help us find more information about our families.” Stop by our monthly genealogy programs, or visit SchaumburgLibrary.org to begin your family history research. You never know the stories you may uncover.
