In 1902, Andrew Carnegie presented New Brunswick with a proposition. He offered to donate 5,000 annually for operating expenses. Oddly, the City agreed to Carnegie's idea, but the library board opposed it. After a bitter controversy, the building was constructed on Livingston Avenue near the corner of Morris, at a final cost of $51,287.51. The site was once occupied by the city roller-skating rink, which was demolished in 1899. The library still stands proudly, with a large addition that was put on in 1993. Its interior has been only slightly altered through the years, and the classic turn-of-the-century building is worth a visit. (Images of America, New Brunswick
Dyslexia in UK higher education and employment: an introduction and overview
The year 2009 saw the publication of the Rose review of dyslexia (Rose, 2009). This was an independent review commissioned by the UK government to evaluate provision for children with dyslexia and literacy difficulties, and to make recommendations on how the identification, teaching and educational outcomes of these pupils might be improved. While this focus on the needs of dyslexic children is welcomed, dyslexia causes life-long difficulties so it is important also to consider the needs of dyslexic adults. Many of these adults may have gone through their school lives and into employment with little, if any, dedicated dyslexia support. There is a need, therefore, to increase awareness of what can be done (and legally, what should be done) to meet the practical and emotional needs of these individuals.
This is the goal of this book which is aimed at dyslexic adults and professionals who support them in higher education and the workplace. These professionals might include educational and occupational psychologists, specialist dyslexia tutors, speech and language therapists, careers advisors, disability advisors and welfare officers. The book also offers a wealth of practical advice to employers on how best to meet the specific needs of their dyslexic staff, and it highlights some of the skills and strengths that dyslexic adults can bring to the workplace
