sam-cParticipantlibrary card ?!?
dang, I haven’t seen that thing in ages! I have my number and pin code memorized. that’s all you need at the library these days, to log into their computers, and then the touch screen at check out.

DianeParticipantwow sam-c, you must be good with #’s; I use my library card almost daily, and whenever using computers, have to pull out card to find ##########’s; I can barely remember my pin

JustSarahParticipantsam-c, I totally relate. I used the KCLS for years without actually knowing where my card was; I just knew my number was “003xxxxxxx” and my PIN. I’m weird with numbers, though, and know my credit and debit card numbers plus security codes, license plate of my scooter and husband’s car, both of our SSNs, all sorts of phone numbers… I could go on, but won’t. :-)

SPECIAL EVENTS
Within the Silence and Fumiko Hayashida: The Woman Behind the Symbol
Thursday, March 4, 2010, 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Living Voices presents an emotional live performance, Within the Silence, about Emiko Yamada, a teenage girl whose is among the tens-of-thousands of Japanese Americans forced from their homes and into internment camps during World War II. 6:30 to 7 p.m.
A screening of Fumiko Hayashida: The Woman Behind the Symbol. In February 1942, two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. government issued Executive Order 9066 authorizing the relocation of 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast in order to incarcerate them in isolated and desolate concentration camps. Exclusion Order No. 1, authorizing the first relocation, targeted the Japanese Americans living on Bainbridge Island, Washington. One of them was 31–year–old Fumiko Hayashida, a pregnant mother of two. She was one of 227 members of her community who, dressed in their best clothes, assembled at the Eagledale ferry landing on March 30th, 1942. As they waited to be taken off the Island by armed military escorts, Fumiko, holding her 13–month–old daughter Natalie Kayo, was photographed by a Seattle Post–Intelligencer photographer. The photograph has since become a lasting iconic symbol of the internment experience. 7 to 7:20 pm
Q & A with Lucy Ostrander (filmmaker), Rachel McClinton and Rachel Adams from Living Voices, Clarence Moriwaki (president of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial and Fumiko Hayashida. 7:20 to 7:45 p.m.

MrsLMemberFor those who missed the Seattle Public Library day at Seattle Art Museum (SAM) on Sunday, it’s also First Thursday at SAM tomorrow. The Alexander Calder exhibit is there now. I highly recommend checking it out. His mobiles are amazing! He also created “Eagle” in the SAM Olympic Sculpture Park.
