    Camp Verde AZ (October 4, 2018) – Camp Verde Community Library is beginning weekly Code Club starting in mid-October. In this informal educational setting, kids will learn computer programming skills through a series of tutorials and projects. They will work toward building websites, video games, phone apps, animations and more, all while learning how to become better problem solvers and critical thinkers.

    Library Director, Kathy Hellman, says this about the upcoming code club: “Coding is everywhere. It is the language behind every app we use, powering our computer games and TVs, clocks, microwaves and even our cars! Kids are born curious and coding encourages them to explore their ideas and creativity in a rewarding environment of learning by doing.”

    Code club will be open to kids ages 8 and up and will meet at two different times to allow more people to participate. Each club runs 90 minutes starting Tuesday, October 16 at 4:00p-5:30p in the Children’s Library and Friday, October 19 at 1:00p-2:30p in the Learning Center. The library encourages children on their own or a child and parent/caregiver to learn coding together.

    Thanks to Friends of Camp Verde Library for funding, the Library is partnering with technology company, Prenda, to offer their club. Prenda provides software, training, and support for libraries around the country to run engaging programming where kids can learn how to code.

    While traditionally, libraries have been a place to borrow books, they are increasingly transforming into a community resource center, offering classes, courses, and experiences for people of all ages and interests. Code club fits with that mission.

    Space is limited and registration is encouraged. For more information about this or other Youth programs at Camp Verde Community Library, contact the Library at 928-554-8387 or check our website at http://www.cvlibrary.org.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
