A word from
the editor
I personally am proud to an-
nounce the opening of the new
teen computer area located
downstairs in the youth ser-
vices department. We’ve add-
ed nine powerful multimedia
and gaming machines, and
more modern furniture, to give
our teens an opportunity to
use current technologies and
further their understanding of
a tech-based world. Hooray!
We’ll be developing many
programs around these new
computers in the coming year.
Check out page 10 for more
info and thanks for reading.

GOOD-BYE DEBBIE!
It is with sad regret that we say good-
bye to Debbie Deckard. Debbie has
been a clerk in the Adult Department.
She is looking forward to spending
more time with her family. Her last
day was December 23rd.
THE LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED ON JANUARY 1st FOR THE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY

Reading'. Children in kindergarten and younger will receive
a small prize after 10 picture books have been read and

This is our monthly TAB meeting. Everyone in
grades 6-12 who has an interest in teen ma-
terials collection, programs, and activities of-
fered for teens and “tweens” should consider
being part of the Teen Advisory Board of
the Danville Public Library. All of our meet-
ings are open to everyone in grades 6-12.
We do fun activities at meetings, plan future
programs and activities, develop a volunteer
program, and participate in community ser-
vice activities in addition to helping with oth-
er programs offered at the Danville Public
Library. Members are not expected to at-
tend every meeting or every event. Once on
the board, you will receive monthly infor-
mation from our meetings even if you are not
able to attend. It is my hope that we would
develop a large enough group to have at
least 8-10 members at each meeting and 20
(hopefully more) members on the board.
Serving on this board looks great on college
applications and job applications. Those who
participate regularly in TAB, for 6 months or
more, can request personal letters of recom-
mendation from Kris. Please feel free to
bring friends with you to meetings. For more
information, call or email.

NEVER TOO OLD FOR A YA BOOK CLUB WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22TH FROM 6:00-7:30 PM DPL PROGRAM ROOM
The teen winter reading program, Warm Up
With a Good Book, was suggested by a
member of our teen advisory board years ago.
Teens will log the titles of the books they read
between January 2, 2014 and February 28,
2014. This is a very informal reading program,
those teens who read at least three books
during the program will receive a small prize. A
collective list of all the books read will be
posted in the teen area of the library.
Nothing is better on a cold blustery day than hot
chocolate, a snuggly
blanket, and a really good book! I have
already started collecting mugs!!

TEEN COMPUTER AREA INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW
On November 29th we launched our new teen PC
area. We removed the old, slower PCs and
replaced them with powerful, multimedia ready
machines. Our goal is to offer our patrons access
to modern technologies and programs to better
ready them for the future.
The PCs currently have several creative-based
software applications installed on them. Those
applications are as follows:
THE GIMP
This software is used in photo editing, digital
painting, and graphics creation.
INKSCAPE
Inkscape is a vector based drawing application.
You can draw in this program, apply flat colors,
then increase the size of the image indefinitely
without the loss of quality.
AUDACITY
Audacity is an open-source audio recording
application. With it you can record and
manipulate sounds.
MOVIE MAKER
Windows Live Movie Maker is a great tool for
basic video editing. You can record or import
video and then add effects, music, text, and more
to make your very own movies.
MINECRAFT
Minecraft is a super popular game about
gathering raw materials and crafting them into
other materials used to build. Think of it as
electronic LEGO, but with a twist.
In the coming year we aim to build programs
around these different softwares, and explore
other technology to implement into our library. If
you have any questions or comments about the
new teen computer area please email us.

John Updike
Oliver Sacks
With the same trademark compassion
and erudition he brought to The Man Who
Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks
explores the place music occupies in the
brain and how it affects the human condi-
tion. In Musicophilia, he shows us a variety
of what he calls “musical misalignments.”
Among them: a man struck by lightning
who suddenly desires to become a pianist
at the age of forty-two; an entire group
of children with Williams syndrome, who
are hypermusical from birth; people with
“amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds
like the clattering of pots and pans; and
a man whose memory spans only seven
seconds-for everything but music. Illumi-
nating, inspiring, and utterly unforgetta-
ble, Musicophilia is Oliver Sacks' latest
masterpiece.
Rabbit, Run is the book that established
John Updike as one of the major Ameri-
can novelists of his—or any other—
generation. Its hero is Harry “Rabbit”
Angstrom, a onetime high-school basket-
ball star who on an impulse deserts his
wife and son. He is twenty-six years old,
a man-child caught in a struggle between
instinct and thought, self and society, sex-
ual gratification and family duty—even,
in a sense, human hard-heartedness and
divine Grace. Though his flight from home
traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to
the faith that he is on the right path, an
invisible line toward his own salvation as
straight as a ruler’s edge.
BOOK AND A MEAL
Thursday, January 23rd
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
The Adult Department invites you to sign up for the Winter Reading Program. You'll receive a reading log and pencil at sign up. For every 500 pages read you earn an entry to win one of 2 $50 gift cards.
The gift cards were generously donated by Tri Kappa and
Friends of the Library.
GRAB SOME BOOKS AND READ THIS WINTER!
DPL ARTIST OF THE MONTH SUE GILLOCK
Since graduating from Franklin College and receiving a master’s degree in Art Education from
Herron School of Art, Sue Gillock has been active as an artist and art educator. Sue has been co-
owner of Glass Design Studio since 1988 along with her husband Dan Gillock. Their stained and
leaded glass artwork can be seen in more than fifteen churches along with restaurants, colleges and
private collections from California to central Europe. Since Dan’s major at Franklin College was in
religion-history their collaboration on artwork is always challenging and fulfilling. Dan specializes
in the construction of glass work, fusing and pate de verre designs while Sue specializes in fired
glass painting which she learned from Albinas Elskus, author of, The Art of Glass Painting as well as
Sister Diane Couture of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in St. Augustine, Florida.
Sue has taught art in the Danville school system for the past 37 years in both high school and
elementary, and currently teaches 7th and 8th grade art at Danville Community Middle School. As
an educator, she feels passionate about being a working artist as well. Dan and Sue have
displayed their glass artwork in local exhibitions such as the Penrod Society Art Fair, Broad Ripple
Art Fair, Taste of Oak Park Illinois and the Talbott Street Art Fair. Her oil paintings have been
exhibited in the Hoosier Salon in the Broad Ripple Gallery and currently, her oil paintings are in
The Gallery on the Square in Danville, Indiana. During the month of January, Sue’s mixed media
artwork will be on display in the Danville Public Library. The mixed media artwork combines
watercolor, glass fusing, papermaking and copper and clay.
As a recipient of The Eli Lilly Creativity Grants in 2003 and 2011, Sue and her family traveled to
Italy in order to incorporate glass with iron work as well as incorporating their glass designs with
mosaic and glass painting techniques. Touring throughout Italy with their family was an opportunity
that has influenced her artwork. They are the proud parents of two children, Leah Gillock
Gonzalez who graduated from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana. Leah has a master’s
degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine as well as another master’s degree from the
School of Public and Environmental Affairs also from IUPUI. Their son, Nathan Gillock, graduated
from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois with a degree in Film and currently works at
IUPUI as a videographer on a series of films for the School of Religion called “Made in America”.
He has received several awards on his film “Of an Armed Cavalier” which is a documentary about
Michelangelo. As proud grandparents, Sue and Dan are also enjoying their 6-month old grandson
Peter.
“As a cancer survivor, I am grateful everyday to God for my family; my love of teaching art as
well as my ability to create art.”
GENEALOGY NUTS
MONTHLY MEETING
Monday, January 13th
1:30 PM Program Room
This month we will learn about Midwestern archives and libraries. There are many well-known libraries and archives in our area that researchers should investigate before they say nothing more can be found on my families. The websites give a window into the collections and a trip to the
“brick-and-mortar” buildings will p r o v i d e m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n . Midwesterners are not afraid of a drive to a library. Many of these libraries are less than a day’s drive away. In some cases, the drive is only a few hours.
We will explore some of the unique features of these libraries at our meeting. Come and enjoy learning about new resources that might answer some questions about our troublesome ancestors. We all have the ancestors who seemed to make sure they left as few tracks as possible.
Membership Research
