This fall, University City Public Library will be offering a free, interactive, 8-week course in the Art of Communication and Leadership taught by a member of Toastmasters International, a public speaking organization.
We all want to learn how to be better communicators. In this course, our Youth Leaders will become more comfortable using new ways of communicating. Each participant will learn to give perspective, feedback and encouragement in a supportive environment. If something doesn’t work, Youth Leaders will be encouraged to try a new approach.
Every participant will be given a variety of rolls and assignments, culminating in a celebration of their growth the final week. The opportunities for everyone to grow are endless!
Advance Registration is Required. The minimum size for the class is 10 participants.

The Friends of University City Public Library present an evening with Gerald Early at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7 in the UCPL auditorium. Dr. Early will discuss his latest book, Play Harder, an “authoritative exploration of how Black Americans have shaped baseball from its emergence after the Civil War to the Negro Leagues and Jackie Robinson’s breaking of the color barrier, up to today’s game.” Dr. Early teaches at Washington University and has consulted with Ken Burns on such documentaries as Baseball, Jazz, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson, The War, and Muhammad Ali. He is a regular commentator on NPR‘s Fresh Air.
Intended for adults, this program is free and open to all. Copies of Play Harder will be available for purchase at the event.
