It&#8217;s home to funk music legends like Zapp and Roger (&#8220;Computer Love&#8221;), Lakeside (&#8220;Fantastic Voyage&#8221;), and the Ohio Players (&#8220;Love Rollercoaster&#8221;). <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dayton Ohio&#039;s Funk Music Legacy: Black History Moment\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5vmKa3Zl02Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Behind and Beyond the Shelves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image000000-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4178\" style=\"width:297px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image000000-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image000000-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image000000-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image000000-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Our branch staff on &#8220;Wild Wild West&#8221; Day<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I have the privilege of working for the Dayton Metro Library system, the largest in my county.

One of the things that particularly interests me about this class is the opportunity to learn new programs. I&#8217;m excited about using WordPress, which is a fresh challenge for me, as I&#8217;ve predominantly designed websites on Wix. A couple of my favorites that I&#8217;ve designed are <a href=\"http:\/\/candleandcole.com\">Candle and Cole<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serenecounselingandwellness.com\/\">Serene Counseling and Wellness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring this new platform opens up exciting possibilities for my design work and allows me to expand my skill set even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Class!
