🖌 We had a full house for Creating with Brush and Ink: a Calligraphy experience! Thank you to Keiko Morikawa from the Japanese Outreach Initiative at UW-Stout for hosting this amazing workshop as part of The Small and The Mighty: Chippewa Valley

Everyone is welcome to stop by the exhibit, located in our 2nd floor Breezeway, during regular library hours until October 30th

➡ Exhibit Information:

We are proud to host “The Small and The Mighty: Chippewa Valley” - an art exhibition and programming that brings together local and US history through archival research at McIntyre Library.

The artists discovered information on Clarice Chase Dunn, Pearle Robinson, Eleanor Jones, and Sarah Harder, and the pieces in this exhibit connect to the lives of these four individuals.

Clarice Chase Dunn was a teacher at Heart Mountain, Wyoming — a Japanese American incarceration center during World War II. Several pieces in this exhibit seek to immerse and expose viewers to the incarceration of Japanese Americans. From pieces reminiscent of living quarters during incarceration to sculptures tied to Dunn and Heart Mountain, this exhibit offers an avenue to further educate on incarceration. In conjunction with the exhibit, artists’ books from a Seattle Immersion program on incarceration in the Pacific Northwest will be displayed.

This programming is sponsored by UW-Eau Claire’s McIntyre Library and the Japanese Outreach Initiative at UW-Stout, and was made possible with a grant from the Center for Restorative and Racial Justice.

📖 This month's first student book club meeting was a big success!

Thank you to Kai for hosting meeting 1 for When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka.

>> There are two meetings left to discuss this great book: Thursdays, Oct 15th and 22nd from 5:00 - 6:00 PM

ALL UWEC STUDENTS WELCOME! Want to join in on the next meeting? Email Kai at [email protected] if you are interested so he can fill you in on the details.

Julie Otsuka’s debut novel, When the Emperor Was Divine, follows an unnamed Japanese American family as they navigate the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. Told in five parts, each from a family member’s perspective, the novel paints a picture of the Japanese American experience during WWII. Using this novel, this book club seeks to have an open discussion about this moment in US history, as well as its relevance in contemporary conversations.

This programming is sponsored by UWEC’s McIntyre Library and the Japanese Outreach Initiative at UW-Stout in conjunction with “The Small and the Mighty” exhibit, September 28-October 30, 2026, in McIntyre’s Breezeway, and was made possible with a grant from the Center for Restorative and Racial Justice.
