Library Hosts Community Write-a-thon

There will be an informational meeting open to anyone interested, which will take place on Tuesday, May 27th, at 5:30pm at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St.

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., invites community members of all ages to participate in their first ever Write-a-thon, June 9th-14th, in which participants will raise money not only for the Library, but for furthering their own interests in the arts.
Participants will ask friends, family or local businesses to sponsor them to write a certain quantity or amount. Since many forms of writing can only be judged subjectively, sponsorship will be based off of number of pages written, word count, time spent writing or another kind of quantitative measurement. Half of the money raised will go to the Library to include more titles in their poetry section and the other half will go to the writer to further their endeavors in the arts. All members of the local community are encouraged to join the Library for this program, regardless of age or writing experience. For the week of the write-a-thon, during the Library’s regular business hours, the Library will provide a space for participants to write together in an effort to not only meet the writing goals their sponsors set for them, but to congregate with each other and make further connections within their artistic community.

Michel Petrucciani (December 28, 1962, Orange, France – January 6, 1999, New York City, USA), was a French Jazz pianist.

Michel Petrucciani came from an Italo-French family with a musical background. His father “Tony” played guitar and his brother Louis played bass. Michel was born with osteogenesis imperfecta which is a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and in his case short stature. It is also often linked to pulmonary ailments. In his early career his father and brother occasionally carried him, literally, because he could not walk far on his own unaided. In certain respects though he considered it an advantage as it got rid of distractions, like sports, that other boys tended to become involved in. Continue reading →
