<p>You are probably familiar with the idea of "escape rooms" - in the last five years, escape room businessess have<a href="https://458rl1jp.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fswonlibraries.org%2Flink.asp%3Fe=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org%26job=3797020%26ymlink=416243680%26finalurl=http%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Eusatoday%252Ecom%252Fstory%252Flife%252Fpeople%252F2018%252F04%252F25%252Fescape%252Drooms%252Dtrend%252Dus%252F468181002%252F/1/0100016bad9febe4-4e63a6ac-6a8a-4c0a-abc6-887af5178348-000000/pjna9QLYzQZlZRhFIK8bOKTKMxc=116"> exploded onto the entertainment scene</a>. According to the <a href="https://458rl1jp.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fswonlibraries.org%2Flink.asp%3Fe=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org%26job=3797020%26ymlink=416243680%26finalurl=http%253A%252F%252Froomescapeartist%252Ecom%252F/1/0100016bad9febe4-4e63a6ac-6a8a-4c0a-abc6-887af5178348-000000/owipaMJKDHMlpew57I_OOlfRTK4=116">Room Escape Artist blog</a> database, there were only 22 escape rooms in the U.S. in 2014. As of November 2018, however, there were at least 2300 escape room businesses operating in the US! These businesses charge a fee to play their game (ranging from $30-$60 depending on the place) and the timed challenge usually lasts one to two hours. Like many entertainment trends, not everyone can afford to have an escape room experience, though, which is why libraries around the country are creating their own DIY escape room programming for people of all ages. Escape rooms don't have to be solely for entertainment, either, of course! According to <a href="https://458rl1jp.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fswonlibraries.org%2Flink.asp%3Fe=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org%26job=3797020%26ymlink=416243680%26finalurl=http%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Eslj%252Ecom%252F%253FdetailStory%253Dall%252Dabout%252Descape%252Drooms/1/0100016bad9febe4-4e63a6ac-6a8a-4c0a-abc6-887af5178348-000000/ywbdBVFbUUqRrCSm8oM1VRQPLWQ=116">School Library Journal</a>, this type of activity allows teachers and librarians to teach using play and to foster problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills in their students/patrons. Escape rooms create an opportunity to experiment, fail, and try again in a low-stakes environment.</p>

<p>Telling A People's Story: African-American Children's Illustrated Literature<br />
This first-of-its-kind museum exhibition, featuring original art by African-American illustrators, looks at African-American cultural and historical identity through the lens of children's picture books. It is now a traveling panel exhibition made available for public schools, libraries, and universities and colleges. </p>
<p>Jason Shaiman is the Curator of Exhibitions at the Miami University Art Museum in Oxford, Ohio. Prior to his arrival at MUAm in August 2010, he served as the Chief Curator of Exhibitions at the University of South Carolina’s McKissick Museum. Shaiman received his BA in Art History from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and an MA in Art History and a Degree in Museum Studies from the University of South Carolina. He has curated more than 40 exhibitions, with Telling A People's Story being his most important accomplishment. </p>
