White Oak Library District: Lockport Branch

The life of Abraham Lincoln spanned a period of change, growth and struggle in our young nation, and the music of his era characterizes these remarkable times. From his days as a flat-boater, through his time at New Salem, his years as a circuit lawyer and on up through his presidency, Lincoln’s life is a microcosm of the development of Illinois during that period.
"Abraham Lincoln in Song" helps shed light on one of history’s most beloved figures “not only as a remarkable leader, but as a man,” who knew and loved many of these very songs himself. Special emphasis is placed on showing Lincoln's unique bond with the common man and his desire for reconciliation, not revenge. It is an extensively researched, historically accurate program. Our special guest, Chris Vallillo, uses period music Lincoln may well have known and sung, and tells Lincoln's own stories to illustrate his life and put it into context.
Chris Vallillo is a singer/songwriter and roots musician who makes the people and places of “unmetropolitan” America come to life in song. Having spent the last 30 years in the rural Midwest, he has a natural affinity for American roots music. Performing on sixstring and bottleneck slide guitars, Vallillo weaves original, contemporary, and traditional songs and narratives into a compelling and entertaining portraits of the Midwest. Dirty Linen Magazine described the music as, “vivid, original story songs” while Folk Wax Magazine Editor, Arthur Wood said “Vallillo’s guitar playing flows like warm honey and is a true aural delight.”Register <a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/abraham-lincoln-song-chris-vallillo-66691" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>

"From Harlots to Heroines: The History of Red Lipstick" traces the bold, surprising journey of one of beauty’s most powerful symbols. From ancient cultures and scandalized societies, to suffragettes, silver-screen icons, and modern trailblazers, red lipstick has been used to shock, seduce, protest, and empower. This intriguing program explores how a single swipe of color has reflected changing ideas about morality, gender, power, and self-expression—and why it continues to make a statement today. Equal parts cultural history and style story, this program reveals how red lipstick went from forbidden to fearless.Register <a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/history-red-lipstick-61873" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>

Hope, healing & justice for abused children.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.
