The One World Library Project presents

LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN: Summer Travels to the Arctic

Thursday, October 17th, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Lawrence Memorial Library, North Street, Bristol Jim Squires, a Research Fellow for early education at Rutgers University and a a resident of Charlotte, describes himself as a passionate, self-mistaught photographer with insatiable wanderlust. Last summer, when Jim was invited by a friend to be part of this Arctic adventure, a BBC filmmaker warned him to have plenty of extra memory available on his computer to store all the images he might take. He wasn’t kidding, and Jim is eager to share many of his favorite photographs from his journey and describe the changing landscape above the Arctic Circle.

Jim is recognized nationally as an early education expert and currently serves as Senior Research Fellow for the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University.

In conjunction with this program, the One World Library Project has acquired new items on the Arctic for the OWLP kiosk at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol:

Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez
Frozen Planet (DVD)
