Captain Sharkbyte

Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) Marine Environmental Education Center (MEEC) at the Carpenter House is dedicated to understanding and protecting one of the ocean’s most beloved creatures – the sea turtle. As part of their mission, MEEC staff interact with visitors year-round educating them about these majestic animals, and part of those efforts include the center’s “forever” resident green sea turtle, Captain.

She calls the MEEC home as she was injured and is unable to be returned to the open ocean. Its Captain who inspired a local artist’s latest gallery exhibit: “Captain is Hollywood” by artist Maria Isabel Lazo.

The exhibit is featured at ArtsPark at Young Circle Gallery, located at 1 N Young Cir, Hollywood and is scheduled from January 23 through March 17, 2019. Because of her love of the ocean and involvement at the MEEC, Lazo has created various artworks that are for sale, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the education center.

Coffee and Conversation at the Alvin Sherman Library

2019-Lit-Live-Beck-Dorey-Stein-Digital-mass

Join us over coffee for a little conversation with award winning author, Beck Dorey-Stein. In 2012, she was just scraping by in DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama’s stenographers. The ultimate DC outsider, she joined the elite team who accompanied the president wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand, eventually traveling to 45 countries around the globe. After leaving her post in 2017, she turned her journal into her first book, From the Corner of the Oval.  Get inspired.  Free and open to the public.  Please RSVP at: lib.nova.edu/Beck.  NSU Alvin Sherman Library 2nd Floor, Cotilla Gallery. This is part of the 2019 Literary Feast Authors Series for the Broward Public Library Foundation.
