Celebration of Lifelong Learning live radio event on KBBI on April 7, 2020, 9:00-10:00.
 

The Celebration of Lifelong Learning is an annual event hosted by the Friends of the Homer Public Library. The event recognizes one adult and one student from the Homer community who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to acquiring new skills and sharing their knowledge with others. Nominations for the awards are accepted in March and the winners are honored in early April.

Nomination deadline is March 12th. Nomination forms are available at the library and online. 

Do you know someone who has made a lifelong commitment to acquiring an exceptional skill or knowledge? Is always trying something new and sharing what they have found with others? Who has an infectious passion for learning and exploration? The Friends of the Homer Library wants to hear about it.   Nominees must reside in the Homer Public Library service  area and have a Homer Public Library card.

Amanda Gorman inspired the nation when she delivered her poem “The Hill We Climb” at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration. In this one hour virtual workshop, we will discuss two of Gorman’s poems, explore what brings her to poetry, and use her ideas as a springboard for our own poetic creations. We’ll also talk about poetry as a means of political expression and why or why not it is an effective tool.

For teens ages 12-18.
Led by Mercedes Harness.
