a ChRistmAS CarOL Why has Dickens’ ghost story endured for generations? by Terry Pace

C

harles Dickens’ immortal tale of A Christmas Carol celebrates its 170th anniversary this holiday season.

In many ways, this enduring yuletide yarn—the ghostly account of Ebenezer Scrooge’s spiritual redemption—remains as synonymous with the season as family feasts, fireside stockings, angel-topped trees, and Jolly Saint Nick.

Countless editions of A Christmas Carol have been published since Scrooge bellowed his first “Bah, humbug!” During that time, this uplifting testament to love, charity, and human reclamation has been adapted into hundreds of heart-stirring performances for the stage, screen, radio, and television.

Pillar of Fire once again joins forces with the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library to celebrate the 2013 holiday season with a radio-style concert reading of A Christmas Carol at 7 p.m. Friday, December 6, in the library’s colonnade. A multigenerational ensemble—made up of many of the area’s most seasoned and versatile theatre talents—will bring to life colorful characters like Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come.

This hour-long adaptation of A Christmas Carol began as a seasonal offering at the Ritz Theatre in 1997 and 1998. Nine years later, the performance was revived as an

annual tradition at the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library, where Dickens and his unforgettable characters have found a warm and welcome home.

“I have always thought of Christmas time … as a good time, a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on our journeys.” scrooge’s nephew, fred, in dickens’ A Christmas Carol

In his original preface to A Christmas Carol, Dickens expressed hope that his “ghostly little book” would find favor with readers and “haunt their houses pleasantly.” He later wrote that his purpose “was to awak-

en some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season.” In that same spirit, every generation seeks reaffirmation of the true meaning of Christmas by reading, hearing or watching Dickens’ time-​ honored tale.

Author, dramatist, and Pillar of Fire co-founder Ray Bradbury always insisted that the story retains such emotional resonance because it deals with the two central mysteries of our existence—life and death—as well as our heartfelt need for sympathetic communion with our fellow human beings.

“It’s a book about triumph in the morning, when Scrooge wakes up and discovers it’s not too late,” Bradbury explained. “He can do his life over—he has another chance.

He can fully come alive for the first time in fifty years. He didn’t die like Marley. He’s not dead forever. Scrooge discovers life— and as a result, he’s going to live forever.”

We all reach a similar spiritual crossroads at crucial turns in our own lives. When these crises arise, do we embrace life and face our futures in a positive and affirmative way, or do we surrender to darkness, despair, and spiritual death? Each time we revisit Scrooge’s struggle and conversion in A Christmas Carol, we welcome an annual opportunity to transform our own lives—to confront our fears, doubts, and anxieties and leave the experience with a renewed sense of clarity and hope.

ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT Digital services mean you can take advantage of all the library has to offer even long past closing time

AS LIBRARY PROFESSIONALS, we love seeing people and families reading, checking out books, and learning. We’re thrilled to see that sight every day here at FLPL, but we also know that many of our patrons now prefer to do their reading and learning digitally, and from their own homes. This shift in learning habits has given us the opportunity to serve the community in a new way: by offering digital services our patrons can access anywhere, anytime.

Tamara Eaton’s family is one of many in the area who love books and libraries and who now love checking out ebooks from FLPL. She and her husband William both grew up in the Shoals, and they returned to the area after having children. Tamara, William, and their seven children would check out so many books that they had to use a baby stroller to carry them all.

“We would have surely qualified as a branch library thanks to the many library books in our home,” Tamara joked.

Now, she says that her favorite library service is OverDrive, which allows her to check out ebooks directly to her own ereader.

Abby Carpenter, Adult Services Librarian at FLPL, believes that convenience is a major reason for offering ebooks and other digital services.

“Even though our physical doors aren’t always open, we have services that are available 24/7,” Abby said. “Plus, people who don’t necessarily have time to come to the library building can still access some of our resources from their own devices.”

Tamara’s family enjoys this added convenience.

“We are able to borrow library ebooks and audiobooks at any time of the day

or night! While we still enjoy visits to the library, we mostly check out ebooks these days. We save time and gas driving in, plus the ebooks automatically expire, so they are never overdue or lost.”

OverDrive is just one of the digital services that allow patrons to use the library from their own devices, such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, ereaders, and MP3 players. FLPL also offers access to databases and services for research, homework help, practice tests, and more.

One of our newest digital services is Freegal, a music service which allows anyone with a library card to download three free songs each week.

These songs never expire and are yours to keep.

“Freegal is easy to use and has lots of different songs to choose from,” said Bradley Painter, a 16-year-old library patron and volunteer. He has used the service to download music by a wide variety of artists, such as The Piano Guys, the Foo Fighters, Jake Owen, and Imagine Dragons. “I use Freegal all the time and would recommend it to anyone.”

Although most of our digital services can be accessed anywhere, the staff at FLPL is also working to make the physical library building more friendly for people who prefer to learn digitally.

The biggest change is a continuing project to create more seating areas on the second floor of the library.

“These work stations will give patrons the space to connect to our free Wi-Fi and work on their own devices,” Abby said. “Patrons may be using our digital services specifically, or they may just need a space to get online or work on a project. Either way, we want to provide a calm, quiet space for people to learn and work in their own way.”

LEVEL UP How

the

library’s

Teen

ZACHARY PUTMAN DIDN’T ALWAYS LIKE TO READ.

“I used to think it was boring,” the twelveyear-old said. “But when I started coming to the clubs at the library during the summer, it encouraged me to read.”

Zachary was one of the first participants in the library’s inaugural Teen Summer Reading Program, and he quickly became a fixture at the different activities.

“We could always count on Zachary to come to the events with a positive attitude and ready to have fun,” said Chris Ferguson, Young Adult Specialist. “We could tell that his interest in books was growing, and it encouraged us that we were doing the right thing with the Teen Program.”

Zachary picked up a book one June afternoon and started reading. And then he read another book, and another one after that. By the end of July, Zachary had read over 50 books­—an impressive number for even the most avid reader.

BY JAIMEE HANNAH

“I like learning about animals,” Zachary said, “so I found a lot of books about them and just kept reading.” In addition to finishing such a large number of books, Zachary finished the Summer Reading Program with one of the highest program attendance rates.

“BEFORE, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE PICKED A BOOK TO READ.

Zachary’s mother Naomi is proud as well.

“I’m so glad that the library has gotten him to read,” she said. “Before he started going to the Teen Program, he would never have picked up a book to read, but now he doesn’t want to stop.”

Zachary said he feels more confident since he’s been involved in library activities, and he has enjoyed making friends with other kids his age. “I work hard to get my homework done on Tuesdays and Thursdays because I have to finish it before I can go to the library, and I don’t want to miss anything.”

The library staff feels the same way.

—ZACHARY’S

MOM

Since returning to school in August, Zachary has taken Accelerated Reader tests on most of those books and has been very proud of the results. Not only has Zachary made A’s on many of the tests, but his reading level has also dramatically improved since the last school year. This is no small feat for a boy who hated to read until only a few months ago.

“It’s been a wonderful experience to see how much a person can grow just by using the library,” Chris said. “We love seeing Zachary at our programs each week. Meeting teens like Zachary makes all of the work that has gone into the Teen Program worth it.”

Jaimee Hannah is the Teen Program Coordinator.

Local History Snapshot

On January 8, 1926,

a snowstorm buffeted Florence and left the region

blanketed in white. Some industrious firemen of the Florence Fire Department took advantage of the cold New Year’s weather and built a large snow man near their station. The firemen in this picture are identified, from left-to-right, as Al Stanford,

Chief Donald White, Bill Snyder, W.C. Taylor, M.H. Guerro, and Fred Fago.
