Metro Weekly. “They would share with each other like a little underground network.”The students asked Carver to help establish a library so others could access the books.“It was such a beautiful moment where I could hear young people understanding the importance of books, who want to help other people,” he says.Together, Carver and the students applied for an “It Gets Better” grant and received $4,000 to build the inclusive library.After hearing an LGBTQ student at a neighboring school committed suicide, the students donated half of the grant to build a second library in their honor.With the remainder of the grant, Carver and the students worked with a local bookstore to curate a list of titles.
Carver reached out to the Montgomery County High School’s library with the list of curated titles and a note describing how they wanted to donate these books to the library. “If there’s a single issue, if there’s a title that you have a problem with, let us know,” he told the library’s administration.After months of no response, Carver received an email stating that every title had been rejected by the library.
None of the selected titles would be allowed inside its walls.Carver and the students regrouped, finding a new home for the books at the Gateway Regional Art Center. They are now raising funds through a GoFundMe page to expand the makeshift library.
So far, they’ve raised $4,200 on a $6,000 goal.Books are available to everyone in person for browsing when the art center is open. However, only local students can check them out.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor How does one make a documentary about David Bowie, a prolific musician who frequently reinvented himself as a performer, sound great? That was the challenge facing the Emmy-nominated sound crew behind Brett Morgen’s “Moonage Daydream.” “He’s a unique artistic genius,” points out re-recording mixer David Giammarco. “How do you do something like we’ve never seen before?” Giammarco worked with fellow nominee Paul Massey and Morgen, writer-director-editor-producer on the documentary, to navigate their way through telling Bowie’s story.

At 20, and even from behind a virtual console, the Cardiff, Wales native was so skilled at navigating the complexities of the sport — not just the races themselves but the assembly of his vehicles’ literal nuts and bolts — that he earned a chance to attend Nissan and PlayStation’s GT Academy, and later to compete against real professionals on the same world-class tracks recreated in the game.
EXCLUSIVE: Akiva Goldsman won an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, his screenplay detoured from Sylvia Nasar’s biography to the story of her genius mathematician husband John Nash. Depicted deciphering Soviet-planted hidden media messages for the Defense Department, the duty turned out to be a symptom of schizophrenia. That was a mild foray into the human mind compared to The Crowded Room, the 10-part Apple TV+ series Goldsman created and was showrunner on. Tom Holland stars as a young man whose erratic behavior was the result of a false reality triggered by a mind that fractured into multiple alter egos. Inspired by the Daniel Keyes book The Minds of Billy Milligan, Goldsman changed facts to create a fictionalized story that would be hard to believe had it not happened. What Goldsman hasn’t discussed until now is how much of the narrative was informed by his own memories of being molested as a child by a family friend, through his formative childhood and teenage years. There is truth among fiction that has sparked strong reactions from fellow trauma sufferers. Buckle up.
