careers have you pursued?
I have worked for CCLD since August 2005 and started as a part-
time sub for the Climax Springs Library and worked the front desk at
the Camdenton Library. For a time, I worked as a “roaming sub”
when I received full-time status; working for any of the six branches
that needed help. While in this position I was able to work at all of
the branches and at different times. When I became a full-time
employee at the Camdenton branch, I accepted the position of
Adult Programming Assistant and developed several programs that
I suggested and encouraged all of our branches to host. In August
2015, I applied and accepted the position of Branch Manager of the
Macks Creek Library, after
Joan’s retirement, while at
the same time a complete
remodel of the Macks Creek
Library was done.

Johannes Gutenberg - Printing Press
• Around 1440, Johannes Gutenberg (1398-1468), invented the
printing press, based on existing screw presses, using oil-based inks,
adjustable molds, and mechanical movable type, allowing for the
mass production of books. His invention was used at first as a way
to bind notes for organizations. With the advent of the printing press
books for the first time were able to be mass produced and more
widely available.

Jonas Salk and Thomas Francis, Jr. - Flu Vaccine
• Jonas Salk (1914-1995) and Thomas Francis, Jr, microbiologist(1900-1969) worked together in 1938 to develop a vaccine for influenza (flu). They successfully
produced one that was used during World War II in the armed forces. Jonas Salk is most famously
known for his work and research of the polio vaccine in 1951; the vaccine was approved for general
use in 1955. Salk’s “killed virus” vaccine was replaced in 1960 when a live virus oral vaccine (Albert
Sabin) was adopted.
Internet Innovations
Larry Page & Sergey Brin - Google
• Larry Page (1973-) and Sergey Brin (1973-) are the founders of Google search engine (1998). Google
was invented to be a reliable search engine that finds web pages based on keywords submitted by
users. The site’s name comes from the #1 followed by 100 zeros. To the site’s founders, the name
represents the vast amount of info that a search engine has to search.
Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook
• Mark Zuckerberg (1984-) while attending Harvard as a computer science student along with three
other Harvard students invented the world’s most famous social networking site in 2004. Membership
to Facebook was first limited to Harvard students and was inspired by an effort to get other Internet
users to rate each other’s photos. It was first known as FaceMash and was set up as a type of “hot or
not” game for students using side-by-side pictures and letting them decide.
Just for Fun
Ruth Wakefield - Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Ruth Wakefield (1903-1977) was an educator, business owner, an author, and a chef is best known
for her invention of chocolate chip cookies. Ruth prepared meals for guests and tourists that stayed
in the lodge owned by Ruth and her husband, Toll House Inn. In 1930, Ruth was mixing a batch of
cookies when she ran out of bakers chocolate. She substituted the bakers chocolate with broken
pieces of Nestle semi-sweet chocolate. Ruth was expecting the chocolate pieces to melt and
absorb into the dough to create chocolate cookies. However, this didn’t happen, but instead,
chocolate chip cookies were invented.
Richard T. and Betty James - Slinky
• Richard T. James (1914-1974), a naval engineer, and his wife, Betty James (1940-2008) are best known for
inventing the Slinky spring toy. The Slinky came about accidentally when James was working with torsion
springs to devise a way to keep instruments and equipment that were sensitive to movement steady at
sea. After knocking some samples off of the shelf, he watched as they gracefully “walked” down the
shelf. He then got the idea to sell them as toys; Betty got the idea to name them Slinky from a definition in
the dictionary because “she thought it best described the sinuous and graceful movement.”

12Genealogy Journeys:
Trips Worth Taking
John Mooney
Mr. Lucky was a gentleman who knew nothing about computers and was searching in all the
wrong places. Due to his family’s history little was known to him. Finding his grandfather was his
primary focus. From the information that Mr. Lucky had in his possession; we knew when and
where his grandfather was born. After a little searching, we discovered his family’s assumptions
were incorrect. Upon locating his grandfather three states to the west of his birth state; where
his mother had moved the family on her own a few years after her husband’s death, everything
fell into place. Within a year, Mr. Lucky came to our meetings with a large binder, generations of
information, and a success rate not usually found in genealogy searches in such a short amount
of time.
Since then genealogy has become more popular; as there are, more resources available, online
classes, and television shows that make genealogy seem effortless. Another useful tool has
been DNA testing. With all of these tools available, the task of delving into our families past can
sometimes become a daunting task. Once the known is proven, the unknown can show, at times,
how little we know about our ancestors and their histories. Names might have been nicknames,
places that are known to us may have been only stopping points in a family member’s life; and
perhaps, a spouse was the second spouse, and there is another side to the family. Mark Twain’s
thought, “Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics, and your
opponents will do it for you”, might seem very appropriate.
Finding the resources you need, learning where to search, knowing what questions to ask are
all important. We hope that you have had success on your genealogy journey, but if you’re still
looking, if you need someone to “help” you, or you’re just starting out, please come and join us
at the Camdenton Library on the second Monday of every month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. In our
Library Genealogy Workshop, we provide access to Ancestry: Library Edition, strategies, and
resources that, hopefully, will help you in your search.
Who knows you might be a descendant of Mr. Lucky, if not, at least you might have a bit of his
luck come your way. If not, journeys are always fun to take, and maybe, just maybe there will be
a surprise ending. If you’re fortunate enough to meet Mr. Lucky, as one of his fellow researchers
nicknamed him, I know he would love to share the journey we took together.

Basic Disaster Birth Support
with Sister MorningStar
Sister MorningStar has dedicated a lifetime to the
preservation of instinctual birth. She birthed her
daughters at home and has helped thousands of other
women find empowerment through instinctual birth.
She is the founder of a spiritual retreat center and
author of books related to instinctual and spiritual
living. She lives as a Cherokee hermitess and Catholic
mystic in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. Visit her on
the web at www.sistermorningstar.com.
(Source: Midwifery Today)
What is instinctual birth?
The Instinctual Birth Blog defines it in the following way:
“We know how to give birth instinctively. We are
taught to fear birth when in reality, the knowledge
is encoded in our body’s cellular memory. We
instinctively know how to breath...we instinctively
know how to birth.”
Sister MorningStar will be at the Osage Beach
Library on Friday, January 19, 2018, 9a.m.-
2p.m. (There will be a 30-minute break for
lunch). She will be teaching a class on Basic
Disaster Birth Support. This course will teach
individuals, as an ordinary citizen, birth mother,
or disaster worker, the skills to help women
in labor, under any circumstance, in which
a mother is prevented from reaching her
planned site of birth.
Did you know that simple actions like
privacy, warmth, dim lighting, and
keeping baby in mother’s arms with the
cord attached can save lives? This class
intends to train as many people as possible
about how routine birth proceeds, how
to support the mother during labor and
birth, and how to avoid harm in a disaster
situation.
Certification and handouts will be given
16 at the completion of training.Help Feed our Feathered Friends

Did you know that at the Camdenton Library that we have an area available that will allow your
creative side to shine?
We have what is known as our Creation Station, but you may have heard the term Maker Space,
where more and more libraries are providing their patrons with the opportunity to use machines and
equipment that might be too expensive to house in their own home.
Creation Station Hours: Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. & Saturdays 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
What is available at the Creation Station?
3D Printers
We have two different 3D printers available for use. Our newest one is a Flash Forge, and we
also have a Da Vinci Duo XYZ. Download a print from thingiverse.com or build your design using
TinkerCad or another 3D design source, bring them on a flash drive, upload them to our computer
and send the print to the printer or email the design to us and we will print it off for you, all you have
to do is pick it up.
CNC Machine
Not familiar with the term CNC? That’s okay, CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, this
machine can be used to cut wood, plastics, and soft/non-ferrous materials, just to name a few. This
device has a cutting area of 15.7in x 15.7in. x 3.9in and uses a 1/8” bit for cutting.
Video/Photography Equipment
No matter if you are a professional or amateur photographer/videographer we have equipment
available for public use. We have a green screen, umbrella lights, an HD video camera, and a Mac
to upload your photos/videos to make your final product look amazing.
Audio/Visual Equipment
Let your creativity shine by showing off your photography/recording skills! We have a Sony HD video
camera, green screen, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, iMovie, just to name a few programs, that will
allow your project(s) to stand out. Music more your creative element? Don’t worry we have you
covered there as well. We have a MacBook loaded with Garage Band, Protools, Audacity software,
studio monitors, microphones, headphones, and a midi keyboard for recording purposes. Artists may
bring their instruments in to record or practice If the recording session is going to require high volume
levels, please contact a staff member to make an appointment; loud volumes may require recording
after normal library hours.
