As long as there is curiosity, need for contact and community Share Nothing will replace libraries nor will they be obsolete Our people in Broward are passionate about their library system because we give them what they need and want Our newspaper interviewed the director of the Broward Public Library System, Allison Grubbs, to learn more about this institution and review all the programs and services they offer in the community through all their branches. In the United States, unlike other countries, there has always been strong public support for public libraries, especially here in Broward. Why is this, and is there any concern that it may one day subside? The love for libraries will never fade, at least as long as there is curiosity, the need for contact and community, the desire to excel or the desire to explore and understand the world. Libraries are the only institution that responds to all human needs, so they will never become obsolete. The people of Broward are passionate about their library system. I attribute much of that to a wonderful staff that adapts to the public. We provide what people need and want, and it's all free. In the past, the Broward County Library System has received accolades as the best in the country. Can you explain the elements that help your well-regarded national reputation? This institution was named the 2015 and 2020 Library of the Year by the Florida Library Association and has earned many other top honors. We build our reputation on service, excellence and innovation. We are leaders in bringing technology to libraries and to people. To give you just one example, one part of our award-winning Welcome Home program for non-English speakers used cloud-based voice-activated technology for multilingual translation. Is there a plan to return to pre-pandemic days and hours of library operation or can we expect “temporary” hours to continue for some time into the future? Starting April 24, the Broward County Library increased hours at 17 locations to expand our weekend service. Four more libraries will be open on Sundays and about 13 branches will be open on Saturdays, for a total of 25 libraries that now offer Saturday hours. The increase in weekend hours is a response to requests from the public. We want people to use their neighborhood libraries with maximum ease and enjoyment. Can you provide a step-by-step tutorial that explains the process of how interested people can access all the various materials and services that the online library offers? What are the various resources that can be used? (Note: I would like this information so I can include it in future editions of our publication.) Our staff is a walking tutorial, they are friendly and happy to help. To learn, just ask. BCL also has many videos youtube.com/broward countylibrary that are available 24/7. We also have face-to-face and online classes. More information is available at Broward.org/Library/Events There are thousands of public libraries, K-12 school libraries, and college libraries scattered throughout the county. What percentage of publishers' income comes from sales to these entities? Among US publishers, revenue was approximately $26 billion in 2021. Libraries, in my estimation, accounted for 7% of total revenue, based on the following sources: Libraries are the only institution that responds to all human needs How and When Do Libraries Buy | Savvy Writers & e-Books online AAP StatShot Annual Report: Book Publishing Revenues Up Slightly to $25.93 Billion in 2019 - AAP (publishers.org) I understand that publishers try to impose some kind of limitation on how much a particular title can be accessed online. What are these limitations, if any, and how do you control the use of such materials? The limitations of e-books are determined by the publishers and providers. We work with multiple providers and each one has its own system. These are the types of limitations found on digital content: One-Copy/One-User: 24-month expiration; Single Copy/Single User: 26 circulations and Single Copy/Single User: 52 circulations or 24 months, whichever comes first. We do not control the time limit or payment limitations; the seller does. The most recent US Census data indicates that 31 percent of Broward's population is Hispanic or Latino, the vast majority of whom speak Spanish at home. One of the things we try to accomplish with our publication is to preserve the heritage of our beautiful Spanish language, the first European language spoken in Florida, with roots dating back to the 16th century. What are some of the efforts made by the library system to provide material in Spanish to interested users? BCL has countless resources in Spanish and the amount of material is HUGE. We are always adding to our general and Spanish collections. New additions can be viewed in the free weekly Wowbrary email on the BCL website or found under "New and Popular Titles" in the Quick Links section. We recently added 41 new titles in Spanish for children and adults. In addition to a vast collection of printed and audio material in Spanish, BCL offers free 1:1 tutoring in Spanish through our Brainfuse online resource for children and adults. There are many programs, classes, and events for babies, children, teens, and adults in the Spanish language. Are there ways to use libraries that most people don't know about? The public does not know how much awaits them here, and everything is free. People are amazed when they learn what we review in addition to books, CDs, and DVDs. They don't know we have video games or about our Gear to Go program, found on the library's website, which includes fitness equipment, robotic devices, Snap Circuits, LEGO Mindstorms, digital tablets, Playaway Launchpad learning tablets, reading, musical instruments, MERGE cubes... and much more. Our next service enhancement, starting shortly, is checking hotspots for free home Wi-Fi

Share Diane Kelly Andreou, MD, is a clinical psychologist and director of the Boys Town Center Behavioral Health Clinic in South Florida. She is also the mother of a teenager. She is very interested in providing quality interventions to ensure that today's children become successful adults. Our children and adolescents are facing a mental health crisis. They sleep less and are less physically active and spend less time in person with their friends than previous generations. The pandemic has intensified these factors. Mental health during childhood and adolescence includes reaching developmental milestones, developing social skills, learning to regulate emotions, succeeding in school, and learning to cope with challenges. Mental and behavioral disorders cause distress and can significantly change behavior, the way of learning and managing emotions. A common childhood mental health problem is anxiety. Anxiety is not a disorder; Fears and worries, such as the dark, storms, or an upcoming exam, are typical during childhood. When fears and worries interfere with school, family life, and relationships, an anxiety disorder may occur. Here are some ways anxiety can interfere with functioning: * Fear of being away from parents, excessive crying or worry at the thought of separation, and fear regarding the health or safety of the parents. * Having an extreme fear of a specific thing or situation. * Being afraid of school or situations where there are people. * Having many worries such as the future, school or bad things happen. * Having repeated episodes of sudden, intense fear and physical symptoms such as shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, tremors, or sweating. Many children have no words to express their anxiety symptoms. Fear or worry may take the form of trouble sleeping or going to bed alone, fatigue, irritable/grumpy mood, difficulty concentrating, refusal at school, or stomach aches or headaches. Many anxious children are calm, obedient, and eager to please others. Anxiety can benefit from behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Another common childhood disorder is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is a persistent pattern of behaviors that interfere with development or functioning in different settings, such as home and school. Children with ADHD often have other problems, such as speech and language delays, poor writing, social rejection, and learning difficulties. Symptoms of inattention include careless errors, difficulty sustaining attention, poor follow-through, avoidance of tasks that require sustained mental effort, loss of items needed for tasks, and distraction. Hyperactive/impulsive behaviors include fidgeting, leaving seat frequently, excessive talking, blurting out responses, difficulty taking turns, and interrupting. ADHD can benefit from behavior management strategies at home and behavioral interventions and adaptations at school. Behavioral intervention is often combined with medication. Almost everyone has mood swings. Many may experience sadness with losses or setbacks. Depression interferes with the ability to sleep, eat, and handle daily responsibilities at home, school, or work. It can occur at any age, but it often first appears in the teens or early 20s. In the case of children and adolescents, the following behaviors may be symptoms: * Persistently feeling (for more than 2 weeks) sadness, irritability or hopelessness. * Not being interested in doing the things you previously enjoyed. * Having changes in appetite (loss of appetite or eating too much) or not achieve the expected weight gain. * Sleeping too much or not being able to sleep. * Suffer changes in energy level, fatigue, laziness, tension, restlessness. * Present feelings of worthlessness or guilt. * Present difficulty concentrating, paying attention and making decisions. * Thinking repeatedly about death or in agony. * Self-injuring or displaying self-destructive behavior. Major depression can lead a child or adolescent to think about suicide. Sadness is not always observed by others. Irritability, withdrawal, and lack of motivation may be more apparent. Interventions help control mood and distress, manage eating, sleep, and activity, and improve social support. Suicide is the second leading cause of death from early adolescence to young adulthood and most who attempt suicide have shown early warning signs before their attempt. The signs include: * Make direct or indirect threats, spoken, sent by text message or posted. Take statements such as "I'm going to kill myself" seriously, even if someone says they are joking or "didn't mean it." Passive statements like "they'd be better off without me" should also be taken seriously. * Have made a previous attempt. The risk of another attempt is significantly higher in the year following an attempt. * Suffer from behavioral changes. Worry about death, lack of interest in activities, lethargy, [changes] in eating and sleeping patterns, and withdrawal. * Depression that regularly presents itself more as irritability than sadness. * Plan death or have a defined plan. Access to a means to carry out the suicide. Give away all belongings. Show sudden, brief energy and encouragement once someone feels they have peace or comfort in their plan. * The phenomenon of suicide contagion. There is evidence that media coverage of suicide leads to a higher rate of subsequent suicides. Factors such as repetition of information, sensationalism surrounding suicide with excessive detail and imagery, and glorification of the positive side of suicide (sadly, including the person's positive traits) can increase risk. Without early diagnosis and treatment, children with mental disorders can have problems at home, at school, and in building relationships. These problems can continue into adulthood. Treatment in childhood or adolescence can prevent more serious or long-lasting problems. Dr. Diane Kelly Andreou is a clinical psychologist and director of the Boys Town Center Behavioral Health Clinic in South Florida. She is also the mother of a teenager.

Share El condado de Broward ofrece asistencia de alquiler para residentes que califiquen afectados por Covid-19 In the USA he spoke with the Director of the Office of Economic Development and Small Business in Broward, Sandy-Michael McDonald about his work in the county towards the attraction and orientation of small companies interested in doing business with the county. This office is fully registered for some 730 small businesses in the county. One of the recommendations made by your director is that before starting a business in Broward, check with this office, especially if you plan to do business with the government of this county, see the opportunities and how to navigate through that process. Can you provide general guidance on the responsibilities of the Broward County Small Business and Economic Development Division and its objectives? The office on behalf of the county works to enhance the economic vitality of Broward and does so in coordination with its community partners and cities. We seek to improve the stability and expansion of existing businesses in Broward County, as well as work to attract new ones, especially those who pay high wages to the county. There are multiple initiatives and programs that we use to support this growth and that of Broward businesses. We have the Entrepreneurship Program, International Trade (Export), Workforce Development and Apprenticeship Programs. We are known primarily for our small business program that supports the use of locally certified small businesses in county procurement. goals 1. Create a vibrant economy with a diverse and skilled workforce in a county that offers unique advantages that attract all types of businesses to create equitable prosperity across the county. 2. Ensure economic opportunity for all people and businesses in Broward. 3. Highlight the "Broward" brand on county properties, programs and services 4. Constantly provide responsive, efficient and quality services to the public and internal customers. During the seven and a half years that you have served as a small business director, have you seen changes in the way Hispanic-owned businesses have increased in interest and number? Do you have any statistics on this? Broward County operates a race and gender neutral small business certification program. This means that there is no specific ethnicity or gender for business owners seeking certification. However, since I have served as a director, the number of Hispanic-owned businesses has grown by more than 60%. Do you have orientation programs and / or seminars to guide Hispanic-owned businesses before and after they open in Broward County? We host workshops for all of our businesses and in the last two years we have done even more, specifically for our Hispanic population in Spanish. Feel free to see the link to our most recent workshop for Hispanic-owned businesses called Doing Business With Broward County. We will continue these workshops in the future. In your experience, what do you recommend to a new business in Broward once it starts operating? The first thing is that they learn and understand how the Broward government works. Even if they are not interested in public procurement, they could still get business start-up and business plan assistance. How many small Broward businesses are registered with your office? There are approximately 730 certified small businesses in our program. What message do you want to send to the general public and small businesses about the local government agency you lead? I need our small business community to know that there are business opportunities here in Broward County. Our office can help develop business to participate. We want the public to know that we want to keep most of the county's money here in Broward to support the businesses that are here, that hire within the county, and that spend money earned in Broward.

Luis Flores, an impressionist painter, stylist and musician who knows how to combine his art with passion Share Talking with an artist like Luis Flores is like opening a range of talent under a common denominator: passion. And it is that in each activity that he develops he injects the love and dedication that gives life and shape to his work, either as a painter, stylist, or as a musician. And although his career for many years focused as a stylist to be able to support his family, and still does, painting always motivated and passionate him. “I remember as a child when I went to school, I hardly paid attention to the teacher and I spent all my time drawing,” he highlights. "Art is a color palette where many things are mixed - music, cooking, design - everything." When the artist arrived in Sunrise, Broward, from Valera, State of Trujillo - Venezuela, his goal was to project his work. "I would like people to really know my painting," he expresses with that desire that every artist feels for his work. You know that contacts and recommendations can help you along the way. His interest in approaching our environment to make his painting known was well received as he is a talent with a thirst for support and that is why our pages dedicate a space to his work this month. Luis Flores defines his painting as impressionist. He is attracted to the style of many artists but develops his own technique. He sees painting as art, not as a business, and he paints out of motivation. He likes to be figurative and mix nature. It also reflects music in art, and presents it with people playing an instrument. The presence of this artist is pleasant, he radiates friendliness, charisma, and above all a talent capable of developing three genres in art with passion and dedication. It is worth knowing his work and giving him the opportunity to achieve his projection. Judith Crocker See painting as art, not as a business, and paint for motivation
