    Local ghost stories for Halloween (SPEC-017)

    From the Sandspit to Winslow Way and Fort Ward, from Kingston to Indianola and the piers of Seattle, strange phenomena abound. You can hear all about it here as Bainbridge Public Library's John Fossett, BCB's Diane Walker, and The Art Project's Susan Wiersema share true ghost stories from Bainbridge Island and beyond. These stories were read aloud at the Art Project on Friday evening, October 26, 2018 under the direction of Susan Wiersema. We hope you enjoy them, and have a Happy Haunted Halloween.

    2018 Poetry Corners Live (SPEC-016)

    From senior flirting to downward dogs and runaway beets, no subject is off limits to Bainbridge poets when invited to submit their favorite works with no theme to inhibit their creativity! Every year, in April,  local poets submit their poems to Arts & Humanities Bainbridge for posting in island storefronts in honor of National Poetry Month, and each year at the end of April the winning poets gather to read their poems aloud. This year BCB was on hand on Wednesday, April 25th, to record Poetry Corners Live, an event hosted by Arts & Humanities Bainbridge at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. This year’s lack of theme — a conscious determination on the part of the judges — resulted in a broad range of poems: some short, some long; some humorous and some deeply moving; some remembering loss and others full of hope. The lucky folks who listened to this event heard some truly magnificent work —  and now you can enjoy it, too! Listen here, and enjoy a flavorful blend of island creativity. For more information, or to purchase a Poetry Corners 2018 chapbook with Karen Chaussabel’s colorful image, “Surrendering to What Is” on the cover, visit the Arts & Humanities Bainbridge website or stop by their office in the Marge Williams Center on Winslow Way West.

    Seattle librarian Di Zhang discusses Fake News at Library U (SPEC-014)

    When information is democratized, anyone can post content. On the one hand, this is really liberating, but on the other, it makes it really difficult to accurately assess what is true and what is not. In this, the final talk of this year's Library U series on Fake News at the Bainbridge Island Library, Di Zhang, reference librarian at the Seattle Public Library, offers instructions on how to evaluate the plethora of information we encounter, and describes some resources and best practices for identifying fake news. Listen here to learn more about Snopes; reverse image searching; Buzzfeed; the caveats against sharing, liking, and clickbait; and much more.  For additional help, see the resource list posted on the Bainbridge Public Library website at http://www.bainbridgepubliclibrary.org/pdfs/Fake-News-Survival-Guide.pdf. Library U organizer Kathleen Thorne has created a video of this presentation; to view that video, visit https://youtu.be/m4kVn5aqShQ.

    Seattle Weekly founder David Brewster discusses Fake News at Library U (SPEC-013)

    In an era of fake news, how do we know which news sources we can trust? In this, the third talk of this year's Library U series at the Bainbridge Island Library, David Brewster, founder of Seattle Weekly, Eastside Week, Sasquatch Books, Crosscut.com and Town Hall, explores the current state of our local news media and addresses the search for reliable news sources. Listen here as, ably assisted by David Harrison, senior lecturer emeritus at the Urban School of Public Affairs at the UW, Brewster discusses the challenges and opportunities of Seattle media; the impact of The Stranger; the role of the "host body" in journalism; our business press; shifting news sources and where to find reputable ones; formulaic journalism; first amendment issues and concerns; the phenomenon of tribal epistemology; what makes a good journalist; and the value of having a plethora of media choices.
