Professor Burton Klein

On certain Thursday mornings the Abington Free Library sparkles. That's when Professor Burton Klein of Strayer University, formerly of the College of New Jersey and former Philadelphia Schools' Administrator, lends his vivacious energy to a multi-faceted series of talks.

On those mornings the Shorday Room holds comfortable chairs, a well-dressed man and only the posterboard on an easel that he has illustrated, but the most talented and engrossing actors don't need many props.

GRAMMAR, COME ALIVE
On these three Thursdays: March 9, 16 & 23, 2006 at 10 a.m. in the Shorday Room during the program titled, "GRAMMAR, COME ALIVE" Prof. Klein will bring grammar to life.

In the fall of 2005, (October 20, 27, November 3) he showed us how to command an audience’s attention by attending three power-laden sessions called "ME? A POWER SPEAKER?"

In the spring of 2005, Professor Klein improved our chances of getting a job or getting a better one in the series: "THE RESUME SPARKLES . THE JOB FOLLOWS" There we learned the answers to the queries: "I thought I "nailed' the interview. Where did I go wrong?" "I wonder why my résumé didn't get me an interview."

He also brought grammar to life showing us "GRAMMAR HIGHLIGHTS" in his entertaining and jovial style.

Before that, he taught us how to "WIN WITH ARISTOTLE" - using Aristotle's teachings to win life's arguments.

He increased our novel reading pleasure in the "ENHANCE THE NOVEL" series. This was modified into a series from a writing course he teaches in college.

And, as a world traveler, he shared tips and secrets learned from his own mistakes in the "AVOIDING TRAVELING TROUBLES AND FINDING THE FUN" series.

Come to the Library and learn what his group of regulars knows: Burton Klein is Abington Free Library's favorite Professor!
