On March 1, 2023 Kiwanis Club of Imperial Beach and South Bay will be launching our Literacy program in partnership with Readability, the first voice-recognition reading improvement technology. The event will take place at the Imperial Beach Library from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. At the event, parents of eligible K-6 students will be able to learn about the program, and sign their child(ren) up, and receive access to twelve free months to the Readability application. This Artificial-Intelligence (AI) based application is designed to develop the child's critical thinking skills, foster love of reading, boost the child's confidence, build a stronger overall academic performance foundation, and create a strong foundation for success. We believe our project will also incite a culture of visiting libraries; and checking out and reading books. In conjunction with the access to the Readability application our Club will have quarterly in-person literacy events to ensure ongoing support and commitment to the children of our community.

Renowned as an extraordinary lyric poet in her own lifetime, Sappho of Lesbos has been a literary celebrity for more than 2,500 years. Her poetry – so far as it survives – seems charged with personal feelings and powerful self-expression. So, what did she look like? Or rather: What have her readers, over the centuries, wanted her to look like? Presenting fresh visual evidence, and reassessing some old iconic favorites, Nigel Spivey (senior lecturer in classics at Emmanuel College, Cambridge) considers the “portrait” of Sappho in its various symbolic forms: as an image of the female poet, an image of passion both tragic and fulfilled and, eventually, an image of female-to-female desire.
