Love Considered, at the Caledon library - Exhibit Opening, Story Hour, and Story Session
A New Exhibit!
Notes of Love: romance in the Victorian Age
An Exhibit at the Whitehorn Library, Caledon VictoriaCity
Curated by Mica Braun, OLA.
Exhibit Opening and Conversation with the Curator
February 2, 2008
2-5 PM SLT
Jack & Elaine Whitehorn memorial Library, Caledon VictoriaCity
In February, our thoughts turn to love and romance…
While Victorians subscribed to a strict moral code, and complicated rules of etiquette (especially concerning matters of the heart!) this did not prevent them from romanticizing both love and tragedy in all its forms. This exhibit celebrates the fascination that love and romance held for the Victorian age.
The exhibit will focus on love and all its aspects -- from courtship and marriage to betrayal and disillusionment. The inspiration for the exhibit was an anthology of Love Letters, giving access to the real word of real lovers. Sprinkled throughout the exhibit are quotes of love letters from Victorian authors. Modeled after articles from period ladies journals, the content of the exhibit highlights the Victorians' burgeoning use of Valentines and the language of flowers. A special section focuses on the fair land of Caledon, and the symbolism of the rose.
This exhibit is offered to the Romantically minded citizens of Caledon by Miss Mica Braun of the Caledon Library for their enjoyment and edification.
The Exhibit will run February 1st to February 28, 2008

Join noted storyteller, Gilbert Sapwood, for an exploration of the ups and downs, the ins and out, of love, sweet love, with a selection of traditional stories. Gilbert will share tales of the heart and its triumphs and follies, from across time and around the world, streamed live from the Jack & Elaine Whitehorn Memorial Library, in Caledon VictoriaCity.
Following the performance, Gilbert will answer questions regarding traditional tales and the art of storytelling, as time permits.
This is a live audio stream storytelling performance, produced by Radio Riel. Media URL address for SL (or outside of SL listeners) : http://music.radioriel.org
Gilbert Sapwood is a storyteller, traveler and collector of tales. He tells stories from the British Isles, Ireland and from his Canadian home, stories from the Brothers Grimm, and tales from the folklore of the Good People, wherever they may be found. He is the founder of, and driving force behind, the Storytelling Guild of Second Life, and is committed to spreading the love of traditional storytelling in Second Life. If there is a fireside, pub or gathering that needs a story, he has one ready. Available for private and public tellings, as short as required, or as long as a winter's night.

"Nothing up my sleeve..."
From Loki to Coyote, from Brer Rabbit to the Boardwalk shell-game man, stories abound of tricksters, swindlers, and con-men (or con-creatures) who live by their wits and "putting one over" on their chosen mark. The Caledon Library and the Clan of Seafarers and Storytellers invite you to join us for this month's text-based storytelling session in the beer garden. Your hosts, JJ Drinkwater and Aldo Stern welcome any and all who wish to contribute a tale or simply desire to listen in awe as a range of antiheroes and assorted rascals cleverly twist their ways out of impossibly tight scrapes or slip a metaphorical whoopee cushion beneath society's plump bottom.
As always, all lovers of tales are welcome to come listen and chime in with their gasps of amazement, tears, laughter, and thunderous applause.
