SUMMARY:Invisible and Essential: Learning LGBTQIA+ Histories
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, the stories of LGBTQIA+ individuals have been intentionally suppressed\, making their contributions and lived experiences largely invisible. \nThat is why the Ocean County Library will host “Invisible and Essential: Learning LGBTQIA+ Histories” at several branches this October. \nThe program will take place at the following locations at dates: \nFriday\, October 2 @ 2 p.m. – Brick Branch – 301 Chambers Bridge Road\, 732-477-4513 \nWednesday\, October 14 @ 6 p.m. – Little Egg Harbor Branch – 290 Mathistown Road\, 609-294-1197 \nWednesday\, October 21 @ 6 p.m. – Berkeley Branch – 30 Station Road\, 732-269-2144 \nThis presentation will make the case for why learning this history is not just a matter of curiosity\, but a crucial step toward empathy and connection. \nIt will highlight key moments and figures that have been overlooked and discuss how understanding these historical narratives can foster a more complete and accurate view of the human experience. \nJoin us to learn why this “invisible” history is\, in fact\, absolutely essential. \nKate Okeson\, Director of Youth Equity for the New Jersey Department of Education\, will present the program. \nRegistration is required for this free program. \nTo register\, visit tinyurl.com/InvisibleOCL\, or call or stop by the branch of your choice. \ntinyurl.com/InvisibleOCL

SUMMARY:Veronica Swift
DESCRIPTION:“She has a miraculous voice\, musical ability and technique\, as well as an innate gift for entertaining a crowd.” — Wall Street Journal \nVeronica Swift has established herself as one of her generation’s iconic voices in Jazz. \nThroughout her childhood\, she toured nationally with her parents (Jazz musicians Hod O’Brien and Stephanie Nakasian)\, singing at renowned clubs and festivals such as Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola\, Jazz Standard (NYC)\, Jazz Showcase (Chicago)\, and Telluride Jazz Festival. \nShe recorded her first album at age nine\, and since then has had a career spanning two decades\, which saw a 2nd place win at The 2015 Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition\, a twice-a-year residency at Birdland Jazz Club\, joining Chris Botti’s touring band\, as well as touring with Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and recording with Jeff Goldblum. \nHer 2021 album This Bitter Earth received a 5-star review and the cover of DownBeat magazine\, and in 2024\, she was honored with a French knighthood as Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters. \nWhile her first two releases on Mack Avenue cemented her as a master of scat improvisation and programming conceptual song cycles\, her most recent self-titled album (2023) showed us that Swift’s talents and path lie in other directions than just Jazz\, rather theatrical glam rock as seen with her original band DAME\, which she co-founded with The Dresden Dolls’ Brian Viglione. \nSince moving to Los Angeles in 2022\, she has pursued other projects and collaborations in the rock genre with artists like pianist Mike Garson of David Bowie\, Luke Spiller of The Struts\, guitarist John Notto of Dirty Honey\, and The Lemon Twigs. Swift’s expansive artistic voice remains firmly intact regardless of genre. \nShe continues to release Jazz music as Veronica Swift\, as is evident in her 2026 album\, Home\, which will be released in May of this year. \nThe album’s story takes us on Veronica’s journey from growing up on a farm in Greater Appalachian Virginia\, losin \ngrunincenter.org \n732-255-0500
