Hello once again special event fans!\"Warren<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We begin a new special spotlight series on books and the importance of reading them yourself and with your family! As recently reported by the Nielsen Company<\/a>, Americans, on average, spend 20% of their day watching television. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We suggest that an additional 20% of your time be invested in reading which is so critical to proper development and maintenance of minds, both young and old. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Warren County Library<\/a> recently held a special “Reading Renaissance Festival” event to provide focus on an important area of human interest, reading!
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Straight from the Collins English Dictionary<\/a> (complete and unabridged), the definition of renaissance is as follows, \u201crenaissance (noun): a revival or rebirth, especially of culture and learning\u201d. And in those terms, Collins Thesaurus of English Language<\/a> also provides us with the following, \u201crenaissance (noun): rebirth, restoration, renewal, awakening, resurrection, regeneration, resurgence, reappearance, new dawn, re-emergence, and reawakening, new birth\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Reading<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Reading<\/a>In terms of history, \u201cThe Renaissance<\/a>\u201d was a cultural movement spanning approximately the 14th\u00a0 to the 17th centuries.\u00a0 The movement itself began in Italy, and gradually spread through the rest of Europe.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Renaissance itself profoundly affected all intellectuality of Europe \u2013 influencing literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, and religion \u2013 basically it touched every fiber of inquiry of the time(s).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To tie directly into the definition of renaissance, Jules Michelet<\/a> (French historian, (August 21, 1798 \u2013 February 09, 1874) defined the 16th century of Renaissance in France<\/a> \u201cas a period in Europe\u2019s cultural history that represented a break from the middle ages, creating a modern understanding of humanity and its place in the world\u201d.\"Warren<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why write about the Renaissance? Well, our local library began its Summer Reading Program<\/a> on June 18, 2012.\u00a0 There is an overall \u201cnighttime\u201d theme to their various programs \u2013 for the elementary aged children, the theme is \u201cDream Big \u2013 Read\u201d; for the middle school through high school aged children, the theme is \u201cOwn The Night\u201d; and there is also an adult program titled, \u201cBetween The Sheets\u201d (NOT what you are thinking!!! Specific titles are suggested that are tied to the summer reading theme!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Warren<\/a>The BIG event for this summer was their \u201cReading Renaissance Festival\u201d that took place on Saturday, June 23.\u00a0 Their monthly newsletter described the event as this: \u201cAn interactive library experience.\u00a0 Knights and maidens will entertain all who enter.\u00a0 Children\u2019s crafts, exhibits, storytelling, and light refreshments.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Starting at 10am, New Empire, a local interactive and living history troupe, led by Thomas Shaffer, and today featuring Jeff Coffman, Steve Iannacone, Andrew Gates, Katie Iannacone, and Kyle Wright, brought history to life.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, New Empire provided a small window into the history of weaponry and armor from the late 15th century, with a piece or two from the Roman Empire<\/a> (from near 50BC), to show the specificity and development of armor and weapons of Europe.\"Waren<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSir Thomas\u201d and New Empire explained and demonstrated to three crowds (throughout the day, presentations at 10am, 12pm, and 1pm) the evolution of weaponry from farm implements to various forms of weaponry.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The weapons varied from the Morning Star<\/a>, finding its origins in Egypt<\/a>, as a threshing tool for grains.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A versatile weapon when used correctly, it deals deadly piercing blows, and can easily strip a soldier of his shield, leaving him to be open to the final deadly piercing blow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Reading<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Warren<\/a>Then came a short lesson in the ease of the training and the use of the crossbow, thus making it a vital and important weapon, due to its lethality and simplicity. Followed by a short lesson in \u201cpersonal defense\u201d with swordplay was also demonstrated \u2013 with 6 simple parry positions, one can defend oneself from virtually all incoming blows.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After each arms and armor demonstration we were delighted with lessons in a couple of simple Medieval dances<\/a>, led by Katie Iannacone and Kyle Wright.\u00a0 The first dance was a line dance of sorts, with little to no physical contact between participants, it was the elegant dance of the times.\u00a0 \"Reading<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The second dance of their demonstration was one that a couple might participate in, again, with the emphasis on little to no physical contact, basically fingertips only.\u00a0 Accompanying Katie and Kyle was Steve Iannacone, New Empire\u2019s friar of the day, on the keyboard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Also being held throughout the day was the explanation and demonstration of the spinning wheel. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A unique pleasure and an unusual exhibition of our era to say the least, local artist and living historian in her own right, Bern Yates brought in her spinning wheel, various local wools, and a variety of delightful finished “hand spun” products.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Reading<\/a>Ms. Yates started her demonstration with a brief history on the Spinning Wheel<\/a> itself.\u00a0 Quite simply, in ancient times, approximately 1,000AD, the evolution of the spinning wheel was that of a stick with an attached weight or stone (a spindle) being held upright, to being turned on its side, adding a pulley, and connecting it to a drive wheel.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Somewhere between the 13th\u00a0 and 14th centuries, the foot pedal was added, and to quote Ms. Yates\u2019 flyer, \u201cthe spinning wheel was off and running\u201d. Ms. Yates herself is a member of the \u201cFriends of the Library\u201d, and saw this particular Saturday as a way for her to impart her love of craft, art, and history on the library patrons.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A 4th generation spinner, dating back to her great-grandmother, Ms. Yates gets her wool from a local farm, and uses the wool for knitting, crocheting, and weaving.\u00a0 Getting virgin wool from this farm, she spins it herself, and has dyed it too on occasion.\u00a0 One example she brought with her was a table runner, dyed with Queen Anne\u2019s lace (green), Goldenrod and Tin (yellow), and Iron and Tin (red).\"Reading<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rounding out the day\u2019s festivities were a couple of crafts for on the second level of the branch for their younger patrons.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was shield making \u2013 poster board stock cut in the shape of a shield, painted by the children, and also crown making\u2026with three kids, our house came home with five shields and four crowns! (go figure)\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Reading<\/a>The aim of the weekend\u2019s \u201cReading Renaissance Festival\u201d was to awaken and revive the patrons\u2019 love of art and literature over the summer.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To not forget about the arts and their beloved library, that the summer is not a time of shutting down the brain and learning centers of the youth freshly finished after the school year. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, it is important to intensify scholarship, scientific and geographical discovery, a sense of potentialities (from Collins English Dictionary<\/a>).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The tops of most of the bookshelves were capped with books relevant to the time period, knights, chivalry, castles, and maidens! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wherever you looked, the past met the future, the renaissance: the revival of learning and culture in our society!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
