Chicago Public Library’s Live From The Library Facebook series has featured appearances from authors, actors, and musicians; the latest guest readers on the list are Chicagoans Barack and Michelle Obama.
The former President and First Lady visited CPL’s Facebook page to read The Word Collector, written and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. “We chose this book because it illustrates the transformative power of words,” President Obama explained. “I love words!”
In addition to reading the story, the pair also shared their thoughts about the value and importance of libraries. “I remember my first trip to the library and how important I felt,” Mrs. Obama reflected. “My library card was a key that unlocked a world of knowledge and experiences.”

#EurovisionSongCelebration #StayHome #WithMe
On Tuesday you were able to see the first 20 songs that would have competed at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020. The second online show, which will be broadcast on Thursday 14 May, will feature the songs chosen for the second Semi-Final and will include the rest of the Big 5 countries: France, Spain and the United Kingdom. Here, the interval acts will shine again! Curious to know how your favourite Eurovision 2020 participants live?

‘Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light', will air in place of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 Grand Final on Saturday 16 May at 21:00 CEST.
Public service broadcasters from over 40 countries will broadcast the show.

Sietse Bakker, Executive Producer Event of what would have been the 65th Eurovision Song Contest, said: “We want to make a show that puts a spotlight not only on the 41 artists that were due to appear in Rotterdam but also inspire those at home and connect people from across Europe and beyond in these difficult times. Of course, we will also honour those who are affected by the coronavirus crisis and those who work so hard to fight it. Let’s make this an unforgettable moment in Eurovision history!”
The EBU and its Dutch Members NPO, NOS and AVROTROS are producing the new show from the Mediapark in Hilversum.

It was the first time in Eurovision history that the winning country hosted the Contest the following year.
The show will be hosted by Dutch presenters Chantal Janzen, Edsilia Rombley (Eurovision 1998 and 2007) and Jan Smit. BBC Eurovision host Graham Norton and Dutch YouTube sensation NikkieTutorials will also make appearances in the live broadcast.
