Lehua Lamington is a storyteller with deep roots in the culture of the Hawaiian Islands, and an equally deep love of the art of Telling. She will regale us with tales of Pele (the volatile and magnificent goddess of fire, lightning, dance, volcanoes and violence) and Hi'iaka, the goddess of healing, Pele's beloved sister and, at times, rival.
NOTE: The teleport takes you to a hub in Caledon VictoriaCity... Just follow the red arrow/beacon north through the Reading Room to the Great Lawn, or use the red and gold Library Transport Device located at the telehub.
Lehua will tell her stories using SL Voice. Here is a quick remineder on how to enable Voice in SL (with thanks to librarian Corwin Howlett)
Gentlebeings, Your ServantSetting yourself up to hear voice chat is easy. First go to Edit menu, then choose Preferences, then the Voice Chat tab. Make sure the check mark is in the box marked Enable Voice Chat. (Sometimes it helps to "uncheck" it and "recheck" it.) Also choose "Hear Voice chat from camera position" although it usually works both ways. Click OK.
Now at the bottom right you will see a button that says Talk. Don't press this unless you really want everyone around to hear you. To the left of Talk is a button with chat bubbles and green lines. CLick on that.
A box labeled Active Speakers should show up. Everyone near you with voice enabled will display, and anyone actually speaking will be at the top. When they talk you should see a little green symbol by their name. From this screen, you can control the volume of individual speakers. If you are having trouble hearing a presenter, click on their name, then turn their volume up at the bottom. This will usually solve the problem.
If you are hearing a speaker you don't want to hear, then highlight their name on this list and turn them down or even click on the little speaker icon to mute them.
