The Comedic History of English Spelling with Gabe Henry
Have you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a hilarious journey with author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language as we discuss troublemakers, like Mark Twain and Noah Webster, who broke all the rules.
In Enough is Enuf, Gabe Henry traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music, and explores its lasting influence in words like color (without a U), plow (without -ugh), and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Register for the online event , Watch past author talks, If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!

Hora del cuento bilingüe: El empacho de Isabel
En esta Hora del Cuento Bilingüe Julio Molinete realizará una lectura de su libro El empacho de Isabel.
“Fui a Cuba a conocer a mi abuelita Macurí” le cuenta Isabel a sus compañeros de clase cuando le preguntan sobre su verano. La abuela hizo un pastel para celebrar su cumpleaños (y todos los demás que se había perdido) ¡Isabel se comió tres pedazos! La fiesta continuó al día siguiente con mucha comida deliciosa. ¡No es de extrañar que, al anochecer, a Isabel le doliera la barriga!

¿Por qué estudiar la historia?
La “historia” es mucho más que una simple recopilación de fechas y hechos, es una mirada y un enfoque hacia el pasado, hacia las cultura y la sociedad que estuvieron antes de nosotros. Pero, ¿cómo se construye la historia? ¿ha sido la historia siempre la misma? y ¿por qué es importante estudiarla?
En este foro, Loreto Urrejola y Fernando Marín, autores de Yo y la historia, exploran estas y otras preguntas esenciales para comenzar a entender qué es y cómo se estudia la historia. Un espacio para reflexionar en como la historia no solo nos ayuda a entender nuestro pasado, sino también a pensar críticamente sobre nuestro presente.
¡Inscríbete al evento! Este evento virtual gratuito se ofrece a través del recurso digital de la biblioteca, MakeMake.
