It is that time of year again! Friends of Calvert Library are hosting their Fall Pub Quiz on Friday, November 14. Calvert Library Prince Frederick doors open at 6:30pm and the quiz begins promptly at 7pm. The Quizmaster is Bill Chambers and Rule #1 is--The Quizmaster is always right! You must have a picture ID verifying that you are 21 or older to enter. Teams of up to six people can be registered through Calvert Library’s online calendar at calvert.lib.md.us. However, participation is first-paid, first-served, so come to any Calvert Library location and pay your stake so that your team will be ensured a spot in the competition. This event fills up quickly and there are only a few team spots remaining. But there are plenty of seats remaining for spectators/hecklers! Spectators 21 and older can purchase their space ahead of time for $5. Be warned that sometimes those spectators get picked up for teams that loose a team member! The fee is $60 per team or $75 at the door if there is still space available. The winning team will receive $300. There is only space for 16 teams and 20 spectators. It promises to be a highly entertaining evening complete with free snacks, a cash bar, and fun raffles. Donations are welcome. There are lots of rules, some may even be made up on the spot(!), and the format is detailed on the Calvert Library website (calvertlibrary.info). For more information, call Robyn Truslow at 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862.

Contact: Robyn Truslow

Calvert Library hosted its first swap meet a couple weeks ago and it was a grand success! Over 80 people benefited from the event…some cleared out their closets and some took home cool baby items like a wooden rocking horse, adorable baby clothing (some with the tags still on them!) and great board books.
The next event is perfectly timed to save you from having to put away your Halloween decorations! On Monday, November 3, from 7-8:30pm bring them along with your other seasonal décor, costumes and special occasion “stuff” to Calvert Library Prince Frederick. Maybe you have an extra pack of napkins left over from a baby shower or extra Batman plates from a birthday party…maybe you even have some holiday recipes you would like to share and trade. Perhaps you are looking for a new theme for your Christmas tree. This will be a great opportunity to refresh your decoration stash and pick out costumes for next year!
To supplement the swap with great fun and education there will also be holiday bow-making demonstrations, refreshments and even music! Join us for this environmentally-friendly, community-building event that will refresh your holiday décor! Bring your own bags/boxes in which to carry your swap home! Leftover items will be donated to a thrift store. More details on this and other swap events can be found at calvert.lib.md.us/swap.html or by calling Robyn Truslow at 410-535-0291.

Calvert Library, Commissioner for Women and Calvert County Public Schools Host Title IX Event (press release)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 30, 2014
Contact: Robyn Truslow
Title IX & Calvert County Public Schools – Progress, Challenges, & Plans
The Calvert County Commission for Women, in partnership with Calvert Library and Calvert County Public Schools, are offering a special event for the community – Title IX and Calvert County Public Schools: Progress, Challenges, and Plans. The event will be held Wednesday, October 15, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Calvert Library Prince Frederick, 850 Costley Way, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.
Many people think of Title IX as “that sports law,” since it propelled school and colleges to provide equal athletic opportunities for girls and boys. However, as the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions, Title IX covers much more than athletics. Title IX is as important today as it was when it became the law of the land more than forty years ago.
This forum will begin at 6:30 p.m., with a half-hour for informal conversation and networking. At 7:00 p.m., Margaret Dunkle, Chair of Calvert County Commission for Women and Title IX guru will kick off the discussion by setting the stage, providing background about how far we have come and introducing emerging Title IX issues. Then, experts from the Calvert County school system will outline progress made, current challenges, and plans for the future in related areas such as sports and athletic opportunities/treatment, bullying and sexual harassment, teen pregnancy and parenting, STEM opportunities and more.
Next, special guest Renee Yarbough-Williams – State Title IX Coordinator with the Maryland State Department of Education – will offer Reflections on Title IX Progress, Challenges, and Plans.
The event will close with questions, concerns, and suggestions for next steps from audience members. The Commission for Women will be holding a similar forum addressing Title IX and higher education issues next April, in partnership with the College of Southern Maryland. For more information, call Robyn Truslow at 410-535-0291.
