Audio recordings of The Folger Shakespeare The Folger Shakespeare Library and our publishing partner, Simon & Schuster Audio, hope you enjoy these excerpts from our audio performances of Shakespeare’s plays.

Here's why It's one of the reasons Republicans have criticized the bill, which they argue is too big and includes funding for things that have nothing to do with fighting Covid or the resulting economic crisis. The final bill passed on a party-line vote, without any Republican support in the House or the Senate. But librarians say they've come to the rescue for those hit the hardest by the pandemic, becoming the only way many without internet access are able to get their kids online for school -- or access medical services, make vaccine appointments or register for federal aid like stimulus checks and unemployment benefits.

Colored Tape Rows on the Keyboard – Learning with Christine Pinto Often times I try putting myself into my kindergarten students’ shoes and wonder how they embrace the world.

DLDay2021 October Challenge: Strength - Digital Learning Day During this time of social distancing, connecting and collaborating virtually have become priorities for most of us—and a lifeline for many. In countless ways, mandated isolation actually has brought us closer together as we find creative ways to foster professional learning networks (PLNs) by finding and following pertinent topics, reach out to others for recommendations and resources, and lean on our colleagues and mentors.
