EVPL’s Our Summer 2021

KASSIDY KINNER-EVPL Engagement Manager

Reading is Delicious Summer Reading Celebration. The OS_Ad is a general promotion ad for the reading program. The other three images were taken pre-COVID, which why masks are not being worn. There is an image from one of our storytime programs, 2nd Saturday Stories, or Miss Jessica at the airport, another image of Miss Christian reading to children during storytime at EVPL Red Bank, and the third image of children participating in Bubblefest, one of our summer programs, at EVPL North Park. I was unsure of how much space you had allotted. Please let me know if this needs to be adjusted.

The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library is excited to announce our annual Summer Reading Celebration will begin on Saturday, May 22, and continue through Saturday, July 31! This year’s theme, Our Summer: Reading is Delicious, toasts food and the impact it has on our stories.

Participants can register for the Summer Reading Celebration anytime by logging into Beanstack or by downloading the Beanstack app. If you do not have an account already, it is very easy to create one and add reader accounts for everyone in your family! You can also register by visiting any EVPL location or by calling 812.428.8200. Our Summer will be offered for each of the three age groups: Children (0-12), Teens (13-17), and Adults (18+).

Participants can log hours on Beanstack between May 22 and July 31. Winners from each age group will be selected every week (Sunday to Saturday) to win a prize. Participants will earn a badge for every hour read or, for our younger participants (ages 0-5), every five books read. After you have earned your first badge, you will automatically be entered into our weekly prize drawing. The more hours you read, the more badges you earn, and the more chances you have to win.

This summer’s prizes include gift cards to local businesses, including High Score Player 2: Classic Arcade, fun prize packs, and other food-related items. Winners will be notified and can pick up their prize from an EVPL location.

Reading is the best way for anyone to learn no matter what age! Reading and sharing stories around the table creates a strong foundation for learning and understanding more about each other. EVPL celebrates all stories, and we encourage you to make a loaf of banana bread (or buy one!) and tell your story with friends and family

Senator Braun and Congressman Carson introduce resolution to honor the 100th Anniversary of Wonder Bread

0

Senator Mike Braun and Congressman André Carson (IN-07) are honoring the 100th Anniversary of the creation of Wonder Bread at Taggart Baking Company in Indianapolis by introducing a joint resolution.

Taggart Baking Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, began producing Wonder Bread on May 21, 1921.

“Created by Hoosier immigrants, brothers Alexander and Joseph Taggart, and Alexander’s son, Alexander Jr.,Wonder Bread became a staple in American homes, cafeterias, and restaurants. Their ‘soft’ bread was a phenomenon that led their company to become the largest bread bakery in Indiana. These immigrants’ innovation transformed the bread industry and are deserving of this recognition on the 100th anniversary.” – Senator Mike Braun
 
“Indianapolis has long been a haven for hard-working entrepreneurs with big ideas – from Madam C.J. Walker to the current generation of visionaries. I am honored to join Senator Braun in celebrating that legacy through our resolution commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the creation of Wonder Bread. This legendary product has become an American icon, and the Hoosiers who created it deserve a great deal of recognition.” – Congressman André Carson 

BACKGROUND

Wonder Bread was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1905 by brothers Alexander and Joseph Taggart, and Alexander’s son, Alexander Jr.. Made popular after World War II, their “soft” bread led many people in United States to switch from baking bread at home to buying Wonder Bread due to convenience and affordability. Wonder Bread has transformed and been purchased by multiple companies over the years, but it will always be a product that is iconic to our state and connected to Indianapolis.

1600 Block of S. Bedford Stabbing

0

 Around 3:00 p.m., on May 1, the Evansville Police Department (E.P.D.) was called to one of the local hospitals for a person who arrived at the emergency room that had multiple stab wounds. The male victim had been dropped off at the hospital by two people who left before officers could speak to them. 

While officers were attempting to gain information on the stabbing, a call came into Central Dispatch from the 1600 block of S. Bedford. The caller advised they witnessed a male stab another male in that area. 

Arriving officers were able to locate blood on the sidewalk around 1615 S. Bedford. E.P.D.’s Crime Scene Unit arrived to take pictures of the scene. 

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, the victim refused to speak to officers about the incident. He is expected to survive his injuries. No arrests have been made at this time. 

 

Criminal Recklessness Smallings

0

On May 2, around 3:00 a.m., an Evansville Police Officer was working off-duty at 1819 N Fulton Ave. (K.C.’s Corner Pocket) when a large fight broke out in the parking lot as the patrons were leaving.

As the officer was separating the participants of the fight, he hears a gunshot ring out not more than 20 feet from his location. He looked over and observed Anthony Alexander Smallings (32) carrying a handgun.

The officer immediately drew his department issued firearm and began giving Smallings verbal commands to drop his weapon. Smallings complied with the officers commands and was quickly placed into custody without any further incident.

Fortunately, no one was struck with the round fired by Smallings and he was transported to the Vanderburgh County Jail where he was charged with Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, a level 5 felony.
