Staying on the cutting edge of medicine is critical, and so is providing exceptional care.

At Franciscan Health, we take joyful service and compassionate concern to heart – or any other part of you that needs it.

Join us in 2017 at the Carmel Library for our Stethoscope Series. Meet our physicians and learn how technology is affecting today’s medical fields and how it benefits you.

It’s the third quarter of the Carmel Clay Public Library’s science and technology series! Join us as we witness the historic solar eclipse, learn how to stay safe in a digital world, “dig” into paleontology and help reduce waste. We’ll talk about smart home assistants, robots, weather, early literacy and many other fascinating subjects. We hope you participate!

July August September

Meet Alexa, Your Personal Smart Home Assistant

Thursday, July 13 7:00 p.m. Program Room

Do you remember Rosie the robot from The Jetsons? This quirky, robotic maid assisted the futuristic family in doing any task they needed, like washing the dishes, making home repairs, and feeding the dog. We’ve also seen intelligent computer assistants in Star Trek, Back to the Future, and Star Wars. With so many portrayals of artificial intelligence in art and entertainment, you would think it’s about time we had something like Rosie with us. And the incredible news is we are getting closer and closer to that reality every day. With smart home installations, we’re able to use an integrated system to perform all kinds of convenient tasks, such as arming the security system and turning off the lights, all from simple keypads, touch panels and mobile device apps.

But we haven’t been able to talk to our smart home like a personal assistant. That is, until now. Last year, Amazon created Alexa, a voice control software that runs on the smart speakers called the Echo, the Dot, and the Tap. In this presentation, Jason Barth from The Premier Group will show you what it’s like to incorporate this new technology into your home to control everything from televisions and music, to lights, thermostats, and security systems in your home.

No registration is required. For more information, call the Reference desk at 317-844-3362.

Forensic Entomology: From Sung Tzu’s 13th Century Observations

to Today’s Genomic RevolutionWednesday, August 9 7:00 p.m. Program Room

Bugs! Dead people! This program presented by Dr. Christine Picard, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology Forensic and Investigative Sciences could be ripped right out of an episode of CSI. It will focus on the history of forensic entomology, which is just a fancy way of naming the science behind studying the life stages of an insect to solve crimes. We’ll dive into its first uses in criminal investigations to its impact on art and even music, to today’s genomic revolution. But that’s not all. We’ll even dig into understanding the basic biology of insects, making this a must-see event for everyone.


Eclipse Extravaganza!Saturday, August 12 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.North Lawn of the Carmel Clay Public Library

A full Solar Eclipse will cast a shadow on the Carmel Clay Public Library on August 21, 2017. The last full solar eclipse to be seen here was in 1972,

so for many people, this is the first time they will stand in the shadow of the moon. To lead up to this historic event the Carmel Clay Public Library will be hosting an Eclipse Extrav-aganza on August 12. Enjoy food, music, face painting, and solar eclipse games and crafts!

Continued on Next Page

Our fun, family event will feature daytime telescope viewing of the sun with H-Alpha telescopes provided by the Link Observatory Space Science Institute, as well as educational materials for safe eclipse viewing practices. We will have free eclipse viewing glasses for attendees! The Carmel Clay High School Tech Hounds will show off their robotic skills and promote Women in STEM, and Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation will be here as well.

This Solar Eclipse will be an event celebrated all across the United States, and the Carmel Clay Public Library wants to celebrate with you! (Event will move indoors if the weather does not cooperate.)


Live Streaming of the Solar EclipseMonday, August 21 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Program Room

Join us for live streaming of the solar eclipse on the big screen. This is an excellent opportunity for safe viewing of the eclipse for young and

old alike. NASA EDGE is joining forces with the NASA Heliophysics Education Consortium to air a live webcast of this historic event, and

will introduce you to the science of eclipse with a variety of NASA experts, including mission scientists, engineers and educators. Come

inside, cool off with some yummy refreshments and watch the shadow of the moon block out the sun. NASA EDGE will give you the best seat

in the house at the Carmel Clay Public Library.


Digging Indiana Ice Aged BonesThursday, September 7 7:00 p.m. Program Room

Ron Richards, Senior Research Curator of Paleobiology at the Indiana State Museum will present documentaries of three of the museum’s excavations of Ice Age bones in Indiana – the Day Mastodon Site and the Lewis mastodon site, both excavated in August 2006 in the Plymouth-Rochester area, and a third excavation in a cave in southern Indiana. The equipment, method of recovery, and resulting Ice Age finds are documented as they are found. Interactions between the dig crew and with site visitors are captured, and documentary photos of the recoveries are presented with soundtracks. Throughout the video presentation, Mr. Richards will be making commentary to assure that the audience understands what is taking place in the field and a question and answer period will follow.

Ron Richards has authored or co-authored forty technical and popular publications on Quaternary-age faunal remains, and is executive producer of Trapping Time, a videotape documentary of “Ice Age” discoveries in Megenity Peccary Cave. He is compiling records of all Pleistocene vertebrate remains reported from Indiana. Ron is a Fellow of the Indiana Academy of Science, and member of the National Speleological Society.

No registration is required. For more information, call the Reference desk

Reduce It, Reuse It, Recycle It FairSaturday, September 9 1:00 p.m. Program Room

The EPA estimates that Americans generated about 254 million tons of garbage in 2013. The average American produces a staggering 4.4 pounds of trash every single day, significantly more than the global average of 2.6 pounds. With the US population at 324 million people, that amounts to more than 700,000 tons of trash produced daily – enough to fill around 60,000 garbage trucks.

This fair will feature local organizations that strive to educate the public about reducing waste in our landfills and conserving our resources. You will learn how to reuse everyday materials, recycle responsibly, and reduce the amount of waste your household produces.


Indiana Digital Citizenship WeekSeptember 11-15

The Carmel Clay Public Library will be highlighting ways you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe in our digital world during Indiana Digital Citizenship

Week, while students across Indiana learn about these issues in school. You’ll hear from us in the building and on our social media accounts! Scavenger hunts; panel discussions; poster competitions; and a talk from Leo Doyle, head of the Cyber Defense Force for the City of Indianapolis, part of the IMPD Homeland Security

Bureau, and who also serves as subject matter expert to the Mayor, Governor, and members of Congress.

Stay tuned and watch our online and print calendarsfor more information!

Wednesday, September 276:30 p.m.

Program Room

Our climate shapes our lives. The ways we build our roads, manage our farms, move our water, and use our energy are all influenced by our unique Indiana climate. But our climate has been changing, and it will continue changing in ways that will affect our productivity, our safety, and our livelihoods. Experts from around the state, led by the Purdue Climate Change Research Center, have come together to synthesize the best available science on climate change impacts into a series of reports that discuss how a changing climate will affect state and local interests.

Key topics include public health, water resources, agriculture, infrastructure and more. A guest speaker from the Purdue Climate Change Research Center will highlight their key findings and what climate change means for Indiana. Come find out the top challenges facing Hoosiers and what, if any, opportunities might arise in these changing times.

This event is sponsored by Carmel Green Initiative and the Carmel Clay Public Library. For more information visit carmelgreen.org, contact Madelyn Zalon at [email protected] or 317-815-9941, or call the Library Reference desk at 317-844-3362.

Cassini’s Grand Finale NASA’s Extraordinary Mission to Saturn

Presented by Link Observatory Space Science InstituteWednesday, September 13 7:00 p.m. P rogram Room

The NASA Cassini spacecraft has spent 13 years in orbit around Saturn, following a seven-year journey from Earth. The spacecraft is running low on the rocket fuel used for adjusting its course, and the extraordinary mission is coming to an end. Two moons of Saturn, Enceladus and Titan, have captured news headlines over the past decade as Cassini data revealed their potential to contain habitable environments.

This program is about much more than the spacecraft’s final dive into Saturn in September 2017, however. That dramatic event is the capstone of six months of daring exploration and scientific discovery, which are the thrilling final chapter in a historic 20-year journey.
