Join Carver County Library and the Loft Literary Center for an online seminar where you’ll learn about writing for the web.
When you go to a company or organization website, you aren’t seeking the same things you might from a great book, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an art to writing for the web. Writing for the Web will offer up strategies for organizing content and presenting for the medium it serves.
This class, which is funded by MELSA, is being offered online on Tuesday, June 28 from 7-8:30 p.m. Visit www.carverlib.org to register.
Check out one of these titles that each feature a different story and connection to the online world.
“The Memory Librarian” by Janelle Monáe. "The Memory Librarian" serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within, and the stakes and power that exists there.
“Proving Ground: The Untold Story of the Six Women Who Programmed the World’s First Modern Computer” by Harrison Query. Top-secret research into ballistics and computing, begun during the war to aid those on the front lines, continued across the United States as engineers and programmers rushed to complete their confidential assignments. Among them were six pioneering women, tasked with figuring out how to program the world's first general-purpose, programmable, all-electronic computer.
“Risk Factor” by Michael Brandman. Buddy Steel, acting Sheriff of Freedom, California, is enjoying some well-deserved R&R at a friend's mountain hideaway when he's called home to investigate a home invasion at his father's address. The break-in is just one in a series, perpetrated by ingeniously inventive burglars. To complicate matters, Buddy must also investigate a spate of cybercrimes targeting local businesses and individuals, an area well outside of his experience and comfort zone.
“You Are What You Click” by Brian Primack. While many of us turn to social media looking for a sense of connection and comfort, the data shows that it may paradoxically leave us feeling more alone and depressed. Drawing on over 20 years of original research, Dr. Primack explains the fascinating nuances of our relationship with social media, its impact on our mental health, and the dangers of social media using us instead of the other way around.
