The Alice T. Pendleton Memorial Library is the public library of Islesboro, Maine.  It is located at 309 Main Road, in an architecturally distinguished Colonial Revival building built in 1917, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Previously known simply as the Islesboro Free Library, it was named in honor of Alice Pendleton, the town's first librarian and a major force in the library's establishment.

Architecture and history
The town of Islesboro occupies an eponymous island in Penobscot Bay, on the central Maine coast. The island is roughly shaped as two lobes joined by a narrow isthmus. The library is located on the east side of Main Road, just north of its junction with County Road, in the northern part of the southern lobe.  It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of random ashlar granite with brick trim.  The main facade, facing west, is symmetrical, with a center entrance sheltered by a Colonial Revival portico supported by groups of slender tapered Tuscan columns.  The door, glassed in its upper half, is flanked by wide sidelights and topped by a low half-oval fanlight.  The interior is arranged with a central circulating desk, reading rooms to either side, and book stacks in the basement and to the rear, where a cross-gabled section extends.

The library was established in 1902 by a vote of the town meeting, and was at first housed on the second floor of a local school.  The inadequacy of this space prompted a drive for the construction of a more suitable home, resulting in the construction in 1917-18 of this building.  Its architect is now known, nor is it known if there was an original intent that it also serve as a war memorial.  Plaques in the entry commemorate the town's war dead, and the flagpole and commemorative base that stand in front of the library were placed in 1921.

Alice T. Pendleton was a professional librarian appointed the town's first librarian in 1902.  She was active in building the town's collection, and in leading the effort to have a permanent home for it.  Even after moving away from Islesboro in 1925, she continued to support the library, serving as assistant librarian during summer visits.  The library was renamed in her honor in 1956.

The Bill Wilson Center (BWC) is a nonprofit organization in Santa Clara, California, that provides support to homeless and runaway children and young adults.

History

Early history
It was founded in 1973 by Bill Wilson, who was a Santa Clara councilman and mayor from 1963 to 1971. Wilson assisted in founding a counseling center for children at Buchser Middle School. Initially called Webster's Education Center when the institutors were attempting to determine the organization's name, it was renamed to the Bill Wilson Center after his unexpected death in 1977 in his early 40s. In 1977, the center obtained a house that acted as a shelter for at most six homeless youth.

The Bill Wilson Center's director is Sparky Harlan. She joined the organization as its director in 1983. When she joined, the organization faced an imminent loss of 50% of its annual $300,000 budget; she was able to prevent the budget cut. In July 1993, she moved the center to The Alameda in Santa Clara, which unified its shelter and counseling center to be in the same location. The move also expanded its capacity from being able to house at most 16 homeless children, up from six. In 2012, the White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs named Harlan a Champion of Change, an award given to people who help homeless children.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, the Bill Wilson Center was the first organization in the Santa Clara Valley to "provide comprehensive services -- including transitional housing -- for this often-invisible population" of homeless youth. The organization receives most of its funding from government grants. Since it is uncertain whether the funds will be maintained or augmented to address the children's growing needs, the Bill Wilson Center solicits donations from people and corporations.

2000s
In 2012, the Bill Wilson Center finished developing Peacock Commons, a two-story, 28-unit housing complex for homeless young adults between 18 and 25. It bought the complex in 2007 and began renovating it in February 2012. Residents began moving into Peacock Commons in April 2012. Rent is subsidized by Santa Clara County Mental Health and paid on a sliding scale. On May 23, 2012, Santa Clara County Mental Health Board gave the Bill Wilson Center a Community Service Award.

In 2014, the organization helped 3,512 people. During meals, caseworkers meet with the youths and counsel them on various topics like resumes and drug addictions. Between 80% and 89% of the people they helped in 2014 were able to rejoin their families or move into stable housing.

Jean-Michel Blanquer (; born 4 December 1964) is a French jurist and government official serving as Minister of National Education under Prime Ministers Édouard Philippe and Jean Castex from 2017 to 2022.

Education and early career 
Born in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, he obtained a doctorate in law from Panthéon-Assas University and a master's degree in politics from Sciences Po. From 1996 to 1998, he was a professor in civil law at Sciences Po Lille. From 1998 to 2004, he was director of the Institute of Latin American Studies at the New Sorbonne University.

From 2009 to 2012, Blanquer served as the director general of secondary and junior school education under then Minister of National Education Luc Chatel. In 2013, he became president of ESSEC Business School.

Minister of National Education 
On 15 May 2017, Blanquer was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron to be Minister of National Education in the first Philippe government. He retained the position on 17 June 2017 when the second Philippe government was formed, following the legislative election of 2017.

Soon after assuming the office, Blanquer announced plans to get rid of homework, preferring instead that time be set aside during the school day to do homework in school. He also overhauled the French baccalaureate and introduced free breakfasts for school children in poor neighborhoods. In June 2017, the ministry published a readjustment of elementary school programs in French and mathematics.

In December 2017, Blanquer announced that France's education system would ban mobile devices during lunch or recess. The announcement was met with mixed responses.

In early 2021, Blanquer removed himself from the race to lead the LREM campaign in Île-de-France during that year's regional elections and to potentially succeed Valérie Pécresse as president of the Regional Council of Île-de-France.

In addition to his government role, Blanquer has been heading the Le Laboratoire de la République since 2021; the organization is a think tank tasked with countering wokeism. He joined the law faculty of Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas University in 2022 as professor of civil law.

2022 legislative election 
In the 2022 French legislative election, he stood in Loiret's 4th constituency but came third, and was eliminated in the first round.

Personal life
Blanquer has been divorced twice.
