In this 3-year project, the two partner organizations will recruit, mentor, and deliver an online Master of Library and Information Science degree to 10 students from underrepresented groups in order to achieve greater diversity among practicing library professionals. The School will provide the education and the library alliance will assist with recruitment and retention through mentorship of the selected students by HBCU librarians. Recruitment efforts will be extended particularly to undergraduates currently attending HBCU institutions and library paraprofessionals currently employed by HBCU libraries. The major goals of this project are to recruit additional underrepresented students to the library profession; provide graduate library science educational opportunities to promising bachelor?s degree holders and library paraprofessionals from underrepresented groups; and test the efficacy of a distributed online degree program, supported by on-site mentors, to retain students from underrepresented groups through degree completion and employment as professional librarians.

Please do not enter any data into your Annual Report at this time, as we cannot guarantee that your information will be saved when the site is shut down. The site should be available within the next week or so, and I will send another message when it is operational and ready for your input. Please bear with us as this issue is addressed going forward. I also wish to apologize to the libraries that entered their Annual Report data prior to the October 1st survey opening.

We did not send any rare books - we sent items that did not sell in our annual book sale. Our friends boxed them up after the sale. We had them picked up by BWB, a total of 40 boxes of books were initially sent. We were not very selective on what we sent. These were the books that are left over from the sale, we already selected some to go to the jail. We also pick out books to give to our local food pantry - so kids/adults that are there can select a book or two to take home for free. The boxes were shipped out a few months ago and to date, we have received $60.00. It was a lot of work for $60 (we could still receive a bit more...), but it is better than putting them in the recycle bin.

I am new to the Library world and my predecessor in this position has very, very old media lists and none of the types of publications I am interested in are included.

Below you can find information on Local Help and Printed Publications and Forms. Shannon Thank you for your interest in resources to support libraries in responding to patron requests about the Affordable Care Act! Many libraries are considering how best to address local needs regarding the ACA. This update aims to help library staff connect patrons to available resources and community experts that can provide assistance. Please feel free to share this update with any community partners that might be interested. Local Help * The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has soft launched LocalHelp.healthcare.gov, where individuals or organizations can enter their geographic location to identify local ACA consumer assistance destinations in their area. Local consumer assisters (including Navigators, Certified Application counselors, etc.) can provide personal help in applying for healthcare coverage through the ACA. This resource is also available in Spanish at ayudalocal.cuidadodesalud.gov. CMS has also made English and Spanish widgets available for those that may be interested in hosting this resource as a widget on their website. * Please be advised that, according to CMS, many consumer assistance organizations are still completing the training and certification process. The database will be regularly updated to add new locations as they become available, so check back frequently. Please also note that states operating independent health insurance marketplaces may have more details about customer support networks at their state's individual marketplace site. Unsure what type of marketplace is operating in your state? Visit the Get State Information page on HealthCare.gov to determine your state's approach and access the most relevant source for local marketplace information. Printed Publications and Forms * If your state is participating in the Federally-facilitated Marketplace, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has an online ordering system for print materials. Libraries are welcome to request these print materials from CMS, however, it is important to note that quantities are limited and stock is constantly changing. You will need to create an account to be able to view and order materials. Once you have an account, search on the keyword "marketplace" to see the available publications. * In the near future, CMS expects to add an option to order and/or download print versions of the Federal Application form (not available until open enrollment begins on October 1). While print forms will be an option, applicants are strongly encouraged to apply online because they will see real-time eligibility and available health insurance options. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.

I'm sure we are not the only library to have people coming in with MP3 players, ipods, cellular phones, trail cameras, Garmin's, tom-toms......... (the list could go on and on and on) all looking for help in downloading or updating software on these devices. We find the majority of our community who have these "devices" do not have computers at home.

For those interested in finding partners in their communities I've highlighted some of the pages within the file that may be of help. For those that would like to find a local partner to invite to present a session or to help provide information to patrons I would take a look at the specific pages listed below to find names of organizations serving your region. The entire presentation is very helpful but now that the four main Navigators have been funded they will each be working with additional Regional Lead Navigators around the state and those on-the-ground organizations may be better able to respond to requests for presentations and in-person sessions. Page 8 - shows a map of Michigan with the ten regions that are used to provide services. Page 13 - shows a map of Michigan by county and the number of languages spoken in each county. Page 18 - shows a general list of places or people that can assist consumers in Michigan. Page 29 - shows the Regions (from page 8) and the Regional Lead Navigators for that geographic area.

Our computer security is not tight. It refreshes each machine on reboot. So whatever a user does that the security allows and that does not demand a reboot, we allow. Cameras, music players, ereaders -- most things can be plugged in. If a user does not have an email address or does not remember an email address, we strongly encourage him or her to make a new one. Our staff assists in this process. This is where it is up to us to do some education. If someone absolutely refuses to make an email address, we have a bank of institutional ones that we have created -- tpltechnology at gmail, @hotmail, @yahoo, etc. -- that we use when we work with the public.

I will try to summarize what I learned in this message. It seems that those of you with RTI machines really, really, REALLY think that they are wonderful, and the overall feeling that I got was that you "get what you pay for" and that the cost of the machines was offset by all of the savings from being able to repair DVDs and put them back into circulation instead of having to toss them out. Additionally, some libraries offset this cost by purchasing a machine together that can be shared, and another charged patrons $3.00 a disc to repair personal DVDs at the library. Models of RTI machines that I received testimonials about included the RTI ECO-Master http://www.discchek.com/ecomaster.html , the RTI ECO-Smart http://www.discchek.com/ecosmart.html, and the RTI ECO-Pro http://www.ecopro.us.com/ 2 libraries that responded are also using the ECO-Junior, which has been replaced by the newer ECO-Smart model. Some of the newer RTI machines come with the capability to repair Blu-Ray discs in addition to DVDs, and customers with existing RTI machines can have the machine upgraded to repair Blu-Rays (Orion Twp did this). Also, even if the machine isn't upgraded to repair Blu-Ray discs, it can still clean them. The only negative comment I received about having an RTI Disc Repair machine was about having repairs done since the machines are heavy and shipping can be expensive. One library had a staff member actually drive the machine to Lincolnwood, IL for repairs since that was cheaper than shipping it. Having said that, there were positive comments about the quality of tech support that is provided over the phone, and it sounds like supplies are shipped promptly. One library that responded is outsourcing the disc repair process. It sounds like they have a regular schedule that they follow to send out the discs and that they are out of circulation for awhile, but they are satisfied with the fact that they are fixing the discs without the initial expense and then ongoing maintenance of having a machine in-house. The Bay Mills Library ended up going with the JFJ Double Arm Disc Repair Machine http://www.jfjdiscrepair.com/proddetail.php?prod=JFJDISC3 since they have a very small collection of DVDs and just felt that they couldn't justify the expense of the RTI machines at this time. They've tested it out and really like it so far. It does two discs at a time, doesn't use water, doesn't have any lines that need to be flushed out, and only takes (at most) three minutes for the very worst discs. Also, it shipped to us the same day we ordered it and got here in two days which we were very happy with. It's easy to use, requires no setup and seems to be well made. We generally only have a few DVDs or possibly one audio book set to fix per month, so it seems like it'll be a perfect fit for us. Thanks again to all of you that took the time to reply.

We found that by putting our barcodes and tags on the DVDs we can now get rid of the DVD boxes and put the DVDs in a pouch in the browser pack. This uses much less space, but we are wondering how to handle multiple disks. Most movies are only one disk, so it's not a huge issue, but we do have them. Also, if any of you use this method, how do you inform the patron that they must leave the actual browser pack at the desk, and take the pouch. We will have self-check, as well as a traditional circulation desk. Thank you for any suggestions.

When I was at ALA I visited the booth with the browser pack display; we were asking about how to store more DVDs in less room, basically. The rep showed us how they use the regular browser packs, with the picture (and description) inserted into the pack. The actual DVD is tucked inside of the browser pack, in a separate envelope. The browser is left at the desk, and the pouch/envelop it taken. The barcode and RFID tags are able to be right on the disk. This is possible because the RFID tag comes in a DVD skin that fits over the top of the DVD. You can easily fit 4 times the DVDs into the same space. We were told that this is becoming the norm and I wondered who else has implemented this. Julie From: michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org] On Behalf Of Julie Grynwich Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2013 1:36 PM To: michlib-l at mail.mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] DVD Browser Packs Next July we are planning on moving into our new library building (Yay!), and we are using this waiting period to add RFID tags to all materials at our temporary library. We found that by putting our barcodes and tags on the DVDs we can now get rid of the DVD boxes and put the DVDs in a pouch in the browser pack. This uses much less space, but we are wondering how to handle multiple disks. Most movies are only one disk, so it's not a huge issue, but we do have them. Also, if any of you use this method, how do you inform the patron that they must leave the actual browser pack at the desk, and take the pouch. We will have self-check, as well as a traditional circulation desk. Thank you for any suggestions.

(There is a tutorial available online to provide guidelines on how to use the ICHAT program at www.michigan.gov/msp for your convenience). This is a free service to all governmental agencies. Our insurance agency also suggested that we could contact our local law enforcement agency to ensure that potential employees do not have a background that would disqualify them from working in the library. They state that this option was the most effective by allowing a law enforcement assessment/comment of a potential employee's criminal background history. Unfortunately, our local law enforcement agency was unable to perform that service due cuts in funding and staff. Nannette Pretzer Director St. Charles District Library 104 W.

Brighton District Library sits within the Brighton DDA boundaries but we are NOT subject to tax capture by the DDA. We have a cordial relationship with the City of Brighton, one of the four political units within our service area. Although it took some time, and some politicking by members of the DDA committee who had already made personal donations themselves, the Brighton DDA made a $1,000 leadership level donation to the Library's $13,000 Light the Way capital campaign to replace the 13 bollard lights at our entryway. As Matt Modrack, the DDA exec director said, the Library is an activity center in the community and it makes sense to help the Library keep the community safe by donating to the lighting project. And it didn't hurt the DDA to be included in both the radio and the newspaper stories which followed, for the Mayor to be one of those speaking at the lighting dedication ceremony, and to have the DDA gift noted by the donor plaque on their "very own light". -- Nancy Nancy B.

They then made a pledge to pay $30,000 each year for 20 years to help reduce the millage rate for our new bond millage. The $30,000 is about what they capture from our millages. Now, this relationship has worked out well, until the last few years when the property values have decreased and they did not have enough money to pay their own bonds and pay their pledge.... This does not sit well with many people, but the DDA board has "stated" they will continue their pledge after their bond is paid off next year. We will see.... We also partner with the DDA to bring a children's concert to the concert in the park series in the summer. This amounts to us writing a grant to pay for the musician, and the DDA providing a lovely outdoor venue and lots of publicity. All in all, it is hard to get dollars from them, but the director is very supportive and helps with non cash support like publicity and planning assistance. Although I know DDA's are quite controversial, ours is here for a while, so we make the best of it and work with them when we can. They are quite supportive and seem to understand the value of the library downtown.

Thanks everyone! Good feedback. "We have had a BWB drop box in our lot since mid-June. Our patrons seem to like it, staff has less donations to sort through and we don?t have to wonder how we will dispose of surplus donations. We also like that nothing goes to a landfill, we can choose the literacy charity which benefits from our participation and we just received a check for $103 for the first three months. Our annual book sales have barely been yielding $200 so we are satisfied. We will also be adding a link to their website for selling and we will get a small percentage of the sales and can use it ourselves to buy retrospective replacements, etc. Let me know if you have further questions." "We have had good luck with Better World Books. So far we have only sent them 40 boxes of books that were withdrawn from our collection that didn't sell in our book sale and we have made about $100 in 2 months. These were books that we would have had to recycle or give to Salvation Army so for us it was a success. They are very easy to work with and they send provide the boxes. UPS is their shipper and they will pick up the boxes the next day so you don't have boxes of books waiting around. I highly recommend Better World Books, but I haven't used them for old or rare books." "We really like working with BetterWorldBooks ? have been since 2007. The return on sales isn?t that great, but they provide the boxes and pay for the shipping so with minimal effort we are able to move old books out, and make a bit of money in the process. They recently stopped mandating the pre-screening process, and they will now take (almost) any books. We still pre-screen (using a volunteer), only because they have been so good to us and we can now use ROSIE to dispose of absolutely almost every type of media (and at no cost to us, as well). BWB also sells used books and we on occasion find books we need to buy from them. They are a great non-profit to work with; a percentage of sales from your books goes to support other non-profit literacy groups (you can choose which one). Customer service is great. I?ve not done a lot with their ARC (antiquarian, rare & collectible books) section ? so don?t know if that still requires pre-screening or not. We get a check from them three times a year, and so far in 2013, we?ve received just over $100.00 from them. Our partnership with them has worked out great." "I have used BWB for some rare and not so rare books for a while. The return you get from them depends on what they can sell them for so its a little hard to say what you might get for your books. I have gotten checks from them that have ranged from about $50 to $400. The fact that they pay shipping cost for whatever you send is nice (although they do have a minimum number of boxes that you need to send at one time-and they do provide that boxes as well). I also post our weeded books up on an ebay site that I maintain. Its a lot of work and it might be more profitable, but BWB will be a lot easier if you don't have someone who can deal with all the issues that comes with selling thru ebay. Amazon does not work if it does not have an ISBN number, so it is not an option. I have also worked with a used book dealer, but I think we had a special case where he drove all the way in from Boston to see what we had. Would not recommend John King in Detroit-not likely to get much of anything from him. What you might want to do is check out Addall used book site http://used.addall.com/ to see if the books you have are really worth something. The prices listed tend to be higher than what you might really get (most of the time what I get from an ebay posting is nothing like what they list), but it will at least give you an idea if what you have is really rare. My experience for what its worth." "We have used BWB once to date. We did not send any rare books ? we sent items that did not sell in our annual book sale. Our friends boxed them up after the sale. We had them picked up by BWB, a total of 40 boxes of books were initially sent. We were not very selective on what we sent. These were the books that are left over from the sale, we already selected some to go to the jail. We also pick out books to give to our local food pantry ? so kids/adults that are there can select a book or two to take home for free. The boxes were shipped out a few months ago and to date, we have received $60.00. It was a lot of work for $60 (we could still receive a bit more?), but it is better than putting them in the recycle bin." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

ALA President Barbara Stripling is rolling out an exciting community initiative called "The Declaration for the Right to Libraries". The Declaration for the Right to Libraries is the cornerstone document of ALA President Barbara Stripling's presidential initiative, Libraries Change Lives, which is designed to build the public will and sustained support for America's right to libraries of ALL types - academic, special, school and public. In the next year, libraries of all types will hold signing ceremonies, during which community members can visibly declare their right to have vibrant libraries in their community. The signing ceremony is intended to serve as the launching point for continued and vibrant community engagement to: * Increase public and media awareness about the critical role of libraries in communities around the country * Inspire ongoing conversations about the role of the library in the community * Cultivate a network of community allies and advocates for the library * Position the library as a trusted convener to help in the response to community issues Please take a minute to visit http://www.ala.org/advocacy/declaration-right-libraries for ideas on how to hold a signing ceremony, print out your own Declaration for your library, or participate with the virtual Declaration. If you choose to participate, would you please send me details of your event so I can share them with ALA?

Join the Providence Public Library Board of Trustees, Foundation and staff as they work to make this goal a reality for the City of Providence and for all Rhode Islanders. The Library Board seeks an engaged, energetic leader to serve as Chief Executive Officer-finalizing and implementing a new strategic plan-to build on its outstanding service programs and achieve further levels of excellence. The Providence Public Library is a private, independent 501(c)(3) organization. Housed in a stunning historic building, the Library has a proud and venerable history. Operating from a single 116,000 square foot facility since 2009, it is home to more than one million items-including unique special collections. Library operations are funded by endowment, private donations, grants, and a new event venue enterprise. Supported by a $3.4 million annual operating budget, staff focus is primarily in three areas: Lifelong Learning; Early Childhood Literacy; and Individual Economic Advancement. As the state's premiere personal learning institution, the Library is also focused on building and strengthening its services not only for all Rhode Islanders, but for all interested in the history, growth and development of the New England region. Providence combines the culture and sophistication of a big city with the accessibility and friendliness of a small town. The city's compact size and convenient location make it easy to get to and get around. Historic and hip, sophisticated and friendly, Providence packs the best of New England into one convenient and colorful package. Today, the City is home to eight hospitals and seven institutions of higher learning, which have shifted the city's economy into service industries, though it still retains significant manufacturing activity. With a thriving arts community, vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, and renowned restaurants, Providence is a great place to live and call home. For additional details on the Providence Public Library, the City of Providence and the metro area see Providence Links. Responsibilities.

We?ve reached a count of 26 AWE computers & tablets from Michigan libraries for the Group Purchase. This puts us into the next discount level (25-49 units) and a price of $2,835. ? I?ll begin sending order forms to the libraries that verbally committed at the $2,835 price. I?ll ask that the libraries sign the form confirming the order and either fax or scan/email the form back to me. ? If we reach the last discount level at 50+ units then we will adjust all signed orders down to the final price of $2678 before sending the invoice. ? Some libraries have asked if they could commit now and pay later.? The discount opportunity is available through November 15, 2013.? If your library commits by November 15, AWE is willing to extend payment terms for 60 days so the payment due date would be January 15.? Note from Angie: We are working with AWE to determine the next discount window so libraries that are unable to pay by January 15?for this opportunity will be able to budget for the 2014 opportunity.? We will let you know once the 2014 discount window has been determined. Thank you,? ?

Irish Visits Jackson District Library Message-ID: A Thousand letters Home One WWII Soldier's Story of War, Love and Life FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE One month after the 2006 death of her father, Aarol W. "Bud" Irish, Teresa Irish opened his army trunk. There, nestled in row after row, were her dad's nearly 1,000 letters from WWII. The letters were postmarked from Nov. 1942 to Dec. 1945. The fragile and yellowed pages were written to Bud's parents and to the sweetheart who would later become his wife. From lonesome, moonlit nights listening to the Hit Parade, to the foxholes and front lines in Germany, to correspondence with the heartbroken mothers whose sons died by his side, this is a moving, historic story of life and loss, hope and perseverance, and unwavering faith and true love. A Thousand Letters Home is comprised of 320 of these poignant letters and 104 corresponding photographs. Teresa's inspirational and engaging presentation is a tribute to our country's history, our freedoms, family values, and a call to individual citizenship in today's world. JDL is delighted to welcome Teresa Irish for her program, The Journey of the Letters at Carnegie Library's Clare H. Sergeant Auditorium, 244 W. Michigan Ave., Jackson, MI, on Wednesday, October 23 from 1:30 - 4 p.m. You are invited to join us to listen to this compelling story of a soldier's life during World War II. A book sale and signing will follow the presentation. This program is free and open to the public. Please call Reference at 517-788-4087, ext. 1339 for more information.

As one of the libraries that helped to develop this program, we are thrilled with the results! All seven of the libraries in Barry County are participating . . . and our families are benefiting! We launched the program in the spring and are now having kids finish. Feel free to contact me with questions. "The concept of encouraging parents to read 1000 books to children before kindergarten is widely accepted as a way to prepare children for elementary school. The Jr. RangerLand "Explore 1000 Books" makes this journey fun and easy for parents. This beautifully illustrated book was designed and developed with the help of a terrific group of librarians from Barry County, Michigan. They worked as a group to put together helpful reading tips and meaningful quotes to expand this journal into a reading tool. There are opportunities throughout the book for children to draw pictures and practice writing their name, making this a keepsake long after the completion of the program. This reading exploration journal is available for retail purchase in our online store or in special bulk quantities for use in libraries." For more information, visit this website . . . especially designed for public librarians! http://www.jr-rangerland.com/1000%20books/RangerLand%20explore%201000%20books%20young%20readers%20program.html I'm also glad to answer any questions you might have about our program locally.

State Librarian Nancy Robertson announced today that the Litchfield District Library is the recipient of the 2013 State Librarian?s Excellence Award for superior customer service. The Library of Michigan Foundation annually gives this statewide honor, which includes an elegant trophy and $2,000 in privately donated funds, to one Michigan library. Robertson presented the award during the Michigan Library Association annual conference in Lansing. Lakeview High School Library in Battle Creek, and the Kent District Library in Kent County each received a 2013 Citation of Excellence, a trophy and $500. The State Librarian?s Excellence Award is sponsored by Roger Mendel and his late wife June Mendel. Gifts from Martin L. Gibbs and Carole Sorenson and from Elaine M. Logan supported the Citations of Excellence. ?Libraries used to be a valuable old stand-by. Now they are leaders in identifying and meeting their communities? quickly evolving and changing needs for information, digital literacy, and community connection and enhancement,? Robertson said. ?The 2013 nominations all were filled with evidence of this in their narratives and letters of support. In the midst of swirling change, libraries provide ever evolving but constant support for Michigan?s residents in their municipalities, their schools, their institutions of higher education and in their workplaces.? The Library of Michigan (LM) recently commissioned the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) to record Bright Side Episode 13: ?21st Century Libraries? to demonstrate the breadth and depth of scope Michigan?s libraries provide. ?Take a peek. You may think you know what to expect from Michigan?s libraries, but you might be surprised by all that they offer,? Robertson said. The Library of Michigan Foundation and LM present the State Librarian?s Excellence Award and Citations of Excellence each year in part to keep the value and services of Michigan?s libraries in the forefront. Janet Barton, director of the award-winning Litchfield District Library, said, ?On behalf of the library staff and our library board we are honored and very pleased to accept this prestigious award and especially the recognition that comes with it.? Litchfield District Library is one of the smallest public libraries in the state, with an annual budget of just over $68,000 and serving nearly 2,400 people. It strives to provide 100 percent customer service and tireless engagement with its community. Board Vice Chair Patsy Hart noted in her nomination cover letter, ?Our staff believes that the library is the community?s living room, and regardless of where you live, once you enter our library you are one of our neighbors.? The library?s costumed ?Library Fairy Godmother? does in-house book readings and also gets out to other locations in the community to promote early childhood literacy. In partnership with churches and other local community organizations, the library has a holistic approach to meeting community needs. It is involved in providing free summer lunches for children in need and providing affordable prom dresses for teens from low-income families. Its Guitar Hero Contest; Battle of the Bands; and ?Drummunity? community celebration event bring the community together in innovative ways. The community?s support for the library is invoked in a letter of support from the director of children?s services at their Community Action Agency, Mary Cunningham DeLuca. ?Our agency recognizes the Litchfield District Library as a leader in early childhood education,? DeLuca said. Evaluation factors for the State Librarian?s Excellence Award are: * Demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in a cost effective manner; with a can-do attitude; and by always delivering on promises; and * Demonstrating the library?s commitment to high standards of customer service through staff dealing with customers and the service community. Lakeview High School Library of Battle Creek, and Kent District Library of Kent County also were recognized for their devotion to customer service, earning Citations of Excellence. The Lakeview High School Library serves a student population of over 1,300. Margaret Lincoln, the library director, is a recognized leader in school librarianship statewide and nationally. Besides training high school students in information literacy, notably through her special course developed for library assistants, Lincoln also has shown exceptional commitment to facilitating learning about issues of race and diversity for both her students and the community as a whole. Lincoln has demonstrated very fruitful partnerships with classroom teachers on projects to incorporate electronic resources and online communication into the school curriculum and lesson plan. She worked with her colleague, Scott Durham, the school?s social studies teacher, to develop a blended learning project. Mr. Durham is spending several grant-funded months abroad visiting historic landmarks in Europe and Asia. While he is traveling, the library will facilitate online interactions between him and Lakeview High School students. Lincoln said, ?Lakeview High School Library is truly honored to receive a 2013 Citation of Excellence. This is also the occasion to recognize the staff, teachers, students and administrators of Lakeview Schools who have supported the need for a successful high school library media program over the past 41 years.? The Kent District Library is a Class VI library, one of the largest public library systems in the state. It has 18 branches and serves over 395,000 residents. KDL?s focus on excellent customer service is embodied in its motto, ?Convenience Is King.? Director Lance Werner said, ?The Kent District Library is honored to be recognized with a Citation of Excellence from the State Librarian. This citation is a tribute to the KDL family that is made up of the Board, employees, volunteers, partners and customers who inspire us to provide innovative, convenient service that remains friendly and personal.? Kent District Library excels in early literacy programming designed to develop pre-reading skills in young children. This past year, attendance at these programs was 65,000. It also partners with the county?s Great Start Collaborative to provide free education for early childcare providers. Last year it offered 48 classes to nearly 2,000 parents and early childhood educators on all aspects of child development. It recently commissioned a special demographic study and public opinion survey, and will use the findings to identify areas where it can meet changing realities. This year?s State Librarian?s Excellence Award recipients were selected by a review panel including the State Librarian, an LM librarian, two school librarians, an academic librarian and a special librarian. # # # The Library of Michigan Foundation was established in 1985 to raise funds to support special programs, services and collections of the Library of Michigan.

State Librarian Nancy Robertson announced today that the Litchfield District Library is the recipient of the 2013 State Librarian?s Excellence Award for superior customer service. The Library of Michigan Foundation annually gives this statewide honor, which includes an elegant trophy and $2,000 in privately donated funds, to one Michigan library. Robertson presented the award during the Michigan Library Association annual conference in Lansing. Lakeview High School Library in Battle Creek, and the Kent District Library in Kent County each received a 2013 Citation of Excellence, a trophy and $500. The State Librarian?s Excellence Award is sponsored by Roger Mendel and his late wife June Mendel. Gifts from Martin L. Gibbs and Carole Sorenson and from Elaine M. Logan supported the Citations of Excellence. ?Libraries used to be a valuable old stand-by. Now they are leaders in identifying and meeting their communities? quickly evolving and changing needs for information, digital literacy, and community connection and enhancement,? Robertson said. ?The 2013 nominations all were filled with evidence of this in their narratives and letters of support. In the midst of swirling change, libraries provide ever evolving but constant support for Michigan?s residents in their municipalities, their schools, their institutions of higher education and in their workplaces.? The Library of Michigan (LM) recently commissioned the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) to record Bright Side Episode 13: ?21st Century Libraries? to demonstrate the breadth and depth of scope Michigan?s libraries provide. ?Take a peek. You may think you know what to expect from Michigan?s libraries, but you might be surprised by all that they offer,? Robertson said. The Library of Michigan Foundation and LM present the State Librarian?s Excellence Award and Citations of Excellence each year in part to keep the value and services of Michigan?s libraries in the forefront. Janet Barton, director of the award-winning Litchfield District Library, said, ?On behalf of the library staff and our library board we are honored and very pleased to accept this prestigious award and especially the recognition that comes with it.? Litchfield District Library is one of the smallest public libraries in the state, with an annual budget of just over $68,000 and serving nearly 2,400 people. It strives to provide 100 percent customer service and tireless engagement with its community. Board Vice Chair Patsy Hart noted in her nomination cover letter, ?Our staff believes that the library is the community?s living room, and regardless of where you live, once you enter our library you are one of our neighbors.? The library?s costumed ?Library Fairy Godmother? does in-house book readings and also gets out to other locations in the community to promote early childhood literacy. In partnership with churches and other local community organizations, the library has a holistic approach to meeting community needs. It is involved in providing free summer lunches for children in need and providing affordable prom dresses for teens from low-income families. Its Guitar Hero Contest; Battle of the Bands; and ?Drummunity? community celebration event bring the community together in innovative ways. The community?s support for the library is invoked in a letter of support from the director of children?s services at their Community Action Agency, Mary Cunningham DeLuca. ?Our agency recognizes the Litchfield District Library as a leader in early childhood education,? DeLuca said. Evaluation factors for the State Librarian?s Excellence Award are: Demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in a cost effective manner; with a can-do attitude; and by always delivering on promises; and Demonstrating the library?s commitment to high standards of customer service through staff dealing with customers and the service community. Lakeview High School Library of Battle Creek, and Kent District Library of Kent County also were recognized for their devotion to customer service, earning Citations of Excellence. The Lakeview High School Library serves a student population of over 1,300. Margaret Lincoln, the library director, is a recognized leader in school librarianship statewide and nationally. Besides training high school students in information literacy, notably through her special course developed for library assistants, Lincoln also has shown exceptional commitment to facilitating learning about issues of race and diversity for both her students and the community as a whole. Lincoln has demonstrated very fruitful partnerships with classroom teachers on projects to incorporate electronic resources and online communication into the school curriculum and lesson plan. She worked with her colleague, Scott Durham, the school?s social studies teacher, to develop a blended learning project. Mr. Durham is spending several grant-funded months abroad visiting historic landmarks in Europe and Asia. While he is traveling, the library will facilitate online interactions between him and Lakeview High School students. Lincoln said, ?Lakeview High School Library is truly honored to receive a 2013 Citation of Excellence. This is also the occasion to recognize the staff, teachers, students and administrators of Lakeview Schools who have supported the need for a successful high school library media program over the past 41 years.? The Kent District Library is a Class VI library, one of the largest public library systems in the state. It has 18 branches and serves over 395,000 residents. KDL?s focus on excellent customer service is embodied in its motto, ?Convenience Is King.? Director Lance Werner said, ?The Kent District Library is honored to be recognized with a Citation of Excellence from the State Librarian. This citation is a tribute to the KDL family that is made up of the Board, employees, volunteers, partners and customers who inspire us to provide innovative, convenient service that remains friendly and personal.? Kent District Library excels in early literacy programming designed to develop pre-reading skills in young children. This past year, attendance at these programs was 65,000. It also partners with the county?s Great Start Collaborative to provide free education for early childcare providers. Last year it offered 48 classes to nearly 2,000 parents and early childhood educators on all aspects of child development. It recently commissioned a special demographic study and public opinion survey, and will use the findings to identify areas where it can meet changing realities. This year?s State Librarian?s Excellence Award recipients were selected by a review panel including the State Librarian, an LM librarian, two school librarians, an academic librarian and a special librarian. # # # The Library of Michigan Foundation was established in 1985 to raise funds to support special programs, services and collections of the Library of Michigan.

OK, so with items we add to the collection in Garden City: first, we only add donated items if they are as good as new, look like they were only read once. Therefore, when we catalog them we assign them list price as indicated on the dust jacket or according to our book distributors. Hope this helps.

To repeat what has already been said, the library cannot give a value for the books because doing so is against IRS regulations. The library can, however, give guidance. The IRS will accept a reasonable per book value. Another option for the user is to find the value for each specific book, especially if they have better items. I suggest using used.addall.com. Bookfinder.com is another option. Used.addall.com can be set to list by price. I would suggest taking the median value at the very highest. I would then list the books in a spreadsheet and include this with the tax return with an explanation of how the value was determined. While this requires more effort, the valuations might be higher. Many best sellers will be worth $1 at most. Some weird little pamphlets may surprisingly be worth much more because fewer copies are for sale . Overall, the prices for used books are significantly less than a few years ago. I see two reasons for this. First, price competition from thrift stores and the places libraries send their books like BetterWorld Books. Second, the shift to ebooks that has reduced the market for print. I'm predicting that libraries will start getting fewer gifts and that revenues from book sales will decline because of the ebook revolution. I help with my local public library's book sale where these two factors are already making a difference. A major agenda item for the Friends group is to find new sources of revenue. Bob Dr. Robert P.

Michigan library staff members are welcome to attend the conference at no charge but you do need to register. Registration for the conference is open now and more information can be found here: http://www.connectmi.org/broadband-summit. Michigan library staff should use the promo code Libraries4Broadband when registering online. The conference is an opportunity for libraries, educators, technology providers, local government officials and others to share best practices and collaborate on new ways to expand broadband technology access across Michigan. If you are interested in learning more about the use of broadband and its adoption in communities throughout Michigan, be sure to attend the conference on Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. LM is sponsoring two sessions related to libraries and broadband at the conference. Check the program schedule for the chance to learn from Michigan library leaders who are making a difference in their communities with broadband access. Attendees will hear from panelists exploring how broadband enhances their local businesses' bottom lines, as well as what a gigabit connection means to rural libraries in Michigan. In addition to the breakout sessions, the 2013 event will feature keynote speakers and a Broadband Hero Awards Presentation. Connect Michigan welcomes you to nominate an individual or organization you feel is making a difference locally or statewide to expand broadband technology access, adoption or use for a Broadband Hero Award. Be sure to take a look here for more information about the award and a Broadband Hero Award nomination form. We hope to see you in East Lansing!

Below please find a condensed digest of responses regarding the placement, implementation, communication and enforcement of codes of conduct in libraries. The responses received were from public and academic libraries. Library Code of Conduct placement: - On library website - In lobby or near entrance - Display case with other library information - Several points around library - Sections of code broken out on smaller signs (no cell phones, no food/drink, etc...) - Available for check out - Poster size - 8.5x11 Code enforcement: There were several models for code enforcement. The "three strikes" rule seemed to be a common theme. Step 1: Provide copy of code to patron Step 2: If behavior continues, ask the patron to leave. Step 3: If still non-compliant, inform patron that their library privileges will be revoked for set period of time Step 4: Call security/police if all other steps do not remediate issue. Three strikes rule- for smaller issues two warnings given and then asked to leave. For severe issues, such as safety issues, patrons asked to leave immediately. Case by case review of violation. Violation forms 1st, 2nd and 3rd with instructions on how to appeal. Code enforcement follow up: - Short, specific notes placed in patron record Challenges: -Hygiene issues or other issues that need to be reviewed on case by case basis Advice: "Enforcement is always a challenge. It requires constant work. My recommendation would be to keep at it, and expect if you are trying to change a particular behavior, it will take many months, even years depending on the issue in question." "Cameras are particularly helpful in many cases. Do not underestimate the problems they can solve. If you get them, make sure patrons know to what degree they are being monitored or recorded. For instance our signs say- 'Some areas of the library may under recorded video surveillance.' " Thank you again. I hope that this information will be of use to the group.

I am working on a draft for a Library Code of Conduct. I have found lots of information to generate a draft for our library. However, I do have some questions regarding implementation for those libraries that have posted codes. - How is the code of conduct communicated to patrons? Is it somewhere visible or only available online? - How are violations handled? - Any other best practice recommendations as we begin the process of implementing a formal code of conduct? Is there something you wish you could change about your current code, or something you feel is a challenge? You can reply to me on or off list, and if others are interested I would be happy to digest and report my findings.

We are again hosting this national program for Michigan. The Letters about Literature program is a national program from the Library of Congress. It is reading-writing contest that invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to write letters to authors of books that have changed their lives. This program gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on a book. As readers, they come to understand how literature is more than assignment, but also a life changing experience. Children and teens can participate on their own or as part of a library or class project. We have sent a letter and a sample entry form to libraries and schools. The 2014 letters will be due in two waves, which is new this year. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 10, 2013 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 10, 2014. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2014.

All our money,phones and credit cards was stolen away including some valuable items, It was a terrible experience but the good thing is they didn't hurt anyone or made away with our passports. We have reported the incident to the local authorities and the consulate but their response was too casual, we were ask to come back in 2weeks time for investigations to be made proper,But the truth is we can't wait till then as we have just got our return flight booked and is leaving in few hours from now but presently having problems sorting out our bills here and also getting a cab down to the airport, Right now we're financially strapped due to the unexpected robbery attack, Wondering if you can help us with a quick loan to sort our bills and get back home.

We have reported the incident to the local authorities and the consulate but their response was too casual, we were ask to come back in 2weeks time for investigations to be made proper,But the truth is we can't wait till then as we have just got our return flight booked and is leaving in few hours from now but presently having problems sorting out our bills here and also getting a cab down to the airport, Right now we're financially strapped due to the unexpected robbery attack, Wondering if you can help us with a quick loan to sort our bills and get back home. All we need is ($2,650.00 USD) or anything you can afford, I promise to refund you in full as soon as I return hopefully tomorrow or next. write back now to let me know what you can do.

Participating libraries will loan printed materials to patrons from other participating libraries that have a MILibraryCard sticker on their library card. It couldn't be easier! Just have your board/authorized representative review the guidelines, agree to and sign the MILibraryCard reciprocal borrowing agreement, and forward the agreement to the Suburban Library Cooperative. You can then order labels for your patrons' cards and window clings for your library! We've got a website, but it's not ready yet! The address is http://www.milibrarycard.org . We'll have the guidelines, agreement, list of participating libraries, label information (0.02 - 0.03/label), and window cling information ($1/cling) all in one place. It will be up and running next week! The guidelines and agreement are attached so you can talk to your staff and boards about participating. We'll keep the list of participating libraries updated daily so you know where the service will be available! If you have any questions, please contact me at turgeont at libcoop.net .

It is also important to know how it is organized. The Garden City Public Library is a City library organized under Public Act 164 of 1877, section 210(a). As such, we have a six member elected governing board. 1) I report directly to the Library Board on all matters 2) My Board is a governing board. They make all decisions. 3) My Board approves my budget and expenditures. They actually approve a tentative budget which is then included with the City budget for the purpose of a public hearing. After the public hearing on the entire City budget, the Board formally adopts the budget. 4) My Board approves all policies and changes to policies. I might also add that a Bill has made its way through the Michigan Senate and has been referred to the House, which would revise the current language of PA 164 of 1877. The bill was numbered SB 546. It is worth looking at. Hope this helps.

In her 33 years of service at the Library, Mimi served as an Adult Services Librarian, Branch Manager, Interim Director, and Head of Acquisitions. She also managed YDL's Michigan/Ypsilanti Heritage Room. Mimi helped usher the library from the card catalog to the internet era. She was present for the arrival of three new bookmobiles, the opening of four new library locations, and the introduction of public internet computers. Her dedicated cataloging work made library resources searchable for our community. The library was an important place in Mimi's life and she considered it in many ways a second home. As Head of Acquisitions, she made connections with staff at libraries throughout Michigan. Her professional demeanor and unflappable attitude made her known far and wide. She will be deeply missed. A memorial celebration of Mimi's life will be held on Sunday, November 17 at 2 pm at the Ypsilanti District Library (located at 5577 Whittaker Road, Ypsilanti, MI).

In answer to your questions, this means that: 1. I report to the Mayor, as the the City's administrator. I also report to our "Library Commission"(appointed by several different Mayors), but most major decisions and changes are dialogues with city hall. Routine daily matters are decided by the library administration, but we keep the library commission in the loop about library activities and changes and get their opinions/input. There are a few things that they actually do vote on. 2.As indicated above, our Library Commission serves as an advisory board. 3. They are not involved in regular daily or line item expenditures during the year. I give them a budget performance report quarterly that indicates the percentage of the fiscal year that has passed and the line items show dollars and percentages used to date. Basically I report that the budget is on track or explain the valid reason why an item is seemingly under or over spent at that particular time of the year9bu they are not approving anything). It is really just their being informed as representatives of our community/taxpayers and being assured that the library is being fiscally responsible. I also share/explain the annual budget with them that I present to the Mayor each year, but they do not approve it. Any discussion goes on between me and the City administration. The Mayor and Finance Director "present" the budget and the final approval of budgets for all City departments is done by our City Council. 4. We discuss any true, major policy changes with the Library Commission (does not include "procedural" changes) and this is one of the things that they do vote on. If a policy change involves anything financial (like fees) this would have to be approved by the City Council (they also would have to approve an unusually expensive purchase). Each of these things has only happpened once in the last 10 years that I have been the director. I hope that this helps. Good luck!

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) announced today that it has received a $990,195 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to build upon its network of library professionals and organizations to pilot a national-scale training system for public librarians. Under the grant, the DPLA will collaborate with its service ?hubs??regional digital library partners located in states and regions in the United States?to build curricular resources and implement hands-on training programs that develop digital skills and capacity within the staffs of public libraries. ?From its inception, the Digital Public Library of America has partnered with libraries across America to help bring their riches to the country and the world,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s Executive Director. ?With this generous grant from the Gates Foundation, we can extend this partnership to help local libraries and librarians take full advantage of what digital technology has to offer.? As part of the new program, current librarians and library volunteers around the country will work with the DPLA to acquire, use, and sustain new digital skills using DPLA?s open materials and services, such as metadata creation, digitization, and virtual exhibition curation. Public librarians will receive the training required to produce digitized materials and curate these into virtual exhibitions. The DPLA will in turn create a professional development webspace on its site to distribute and maintain the curricular and the curatorial materials designed as part of the pilot, making its teaching modules and workshop templates open and free to all. The public libraries that participate in this pilot program will foster a greater understanding of local historical and cultural content, directing their communities to curated materials as well as a mass of relevant items in the DPLA and its associated collections. These libraries will have the opportunity to associate professional metadata with their collections, providing the ability to share their local heritage globally via the DPLA's portal and platform. The Digital Public Library of America sees this initiative as an important step in its nascent DPLA Local program, which aims to tailor DPLA?s infrastructure for customized use in communities across the United States. The funding is part of the Gates Foundation?s Global Libraries program, which works to ensure that all people, especially those in disadvantaged communities around the world, have access to information through technology in public libraries. ?Public libraries are among the most beloved and trusted institutions in America,? Cohen said. ?It's a privilege to be able to assist them in their mission through this new program.? # # # About the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) The Digital Public Library of America strives to contain the full breadth of human expression, from the written word, to works of art and culture, to records of America?s heritage, to the efforts and data of science. Since launching in April 2013, it has aggregated over 5 million items from over 1,000 institutions. The DPLA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit.

For example: How much of a donation will provide naming rights for the entire library? How much of a donation will provide naming rights for a Youth Room or Teen Room or Reference Room or Local History Room or cafe or a meeting room or the story room within the Youth Room? How much of a donation will provide naming rights for a section of a room--e.g., the beginning-to-read section of the Youth Room or the Adult history section? If you allow a room or area to receive multiple donations, do you honor the multiple donors with a plaque instead of a name? (For example, "This patio was paid for with contributions from ...") In this case, do you charge each donor the same amount? Or do you accept different amounts and then list the donors by donation amount? If your library has such guidelines, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Alternatively, if you have no formal guidelines, but have given out naming rights in the past, I would appreciate hearing what your practice has been. (For example, we had an $8 million building project. Somebody donated $1 million. We named the library after them.) I realize that donation amounts will vary by the type of library. Since a large library will have a larger and more expensive Youth Room, the naming rights for that room would probably be commensurately larger. So it would be helpful if you could provide some indication of the size of your building. Please send your responses to me at doug.koschik at baldwinlib.org, instead of to the general list.

For example: How much of a donation will provide naming rights for the entire library? How much of a donation will provide naming rights for a Youth Room or Teen Room or Reference Room or Local History Room or cafe or a meeting room or the story room within the Youth Room? How much of a donation will provide naming rights for a section of a room--e.g., the beginning-to-read section of the Youth Room or the Adult history section? If you allow a room or area to receive multiple donations, do you honor the multiple donors with a plaque instead of a name? (For example, "This patio was paid for with contributions from ...") In this case, do you charge each donor the same amount? Or do you accept different amounts and then list the donors by donation amount? If your library has such guidelines, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Alternatively, if you have no formal guidelines, but have given out naming rights in the past, I would appreciate hearing what your practice has been. (For example, we had an $8 million building project. Somebody donated $1 million. We named the library after them.) I realize that donation amounts will vary by the type of library. Since a large library will have a larger and more expensive Youth Room, the naming rights for that room would probably be commensurately larger. So it would be helpful if you could provide some indication of the size of your building. Please send your responses to me at doug.koschik at baldwinlib.org, instead of to the general list. Many thanks for any assistance you can provide. Doug -- Doug Koschik Director Baldwin Public Library 300 W.

Sometimes history or events can be a factor when considering a name. Our libraries were named after the Kennedy children because the libraries were on the eve of opening when the assassination of JFK occurred. So moved was the Dearborn Heights City Council that at the next meeting they passed a resolution to name our libraries as they did, and the name has stuck ever since. We have never asked for, nor gotten a dime for the name. I always thought it was rather interesting that our libraries were named after children. We do have a "wall of honor" plaque recently put up to honor long time volunteers and donors to our libraries. Donations over $3,000, 2,500 volunteer hours, or some outstanding act of service gets your name up for consideration by the Library Advisory Board. Good luck and hope you get a good donation!

State Superintendent Mike Flanagan has directed staff at the Michigan Department of Education to resume all activities helping local school districts implement the Common Core State Standards and statewide assessments, following an ?affirmative action? today by the Michigan Senate. The Senate adopted its substitute version of House Concurrent Resolution 11, which was adopted by the House in September. The state legislature had inserted language in the Michigan Department of Education?s Fiscal Year 2013-14 budget prohibiting the department from using any funds on the implementation of the Common Core State Standards and Smarter Balanced Assessments ?unless an affirmative action of the legislature authorizing implementation of said standards or assessments is provided.? ?I?d like to thank House Speaker Jase Bolger and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville for getting us to the point where we can continue to move forward,? Flanagan said. ?To help all our students succeed, our collective work needs to be focused on having rigorous standards; effective and valuable assessments aligned to those standards; and high quality and effective educators.? The State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards as Michigan?s state standards in 2010 and local school districts have been in the process of developing their own curricula to align with those state standards since then. # # # * Moving forward with Common Core.pdf< http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTMxMDI0LjI0NDg0MjExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMTAyNC4yNDQ4NDIxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzIxNDQ4JmVtYWlsaWQ9c2NoYWZlcm1AbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1zY2hhZmVybUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MIMDE/2013/10/24/file_attachments/246765/Moving%2Bforward%2Bwith%2BCommon%2BCore.pdf > ________________________________ [ https://public.govdelivery.com/system/images/35605/original/michigan%20department%20of%20education.jpg ] Questions?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 29, 2013 [IMLS logo] [Campaign for Grade-Level Reading logo] IMLS Contact Giuliana Bullard, 202-653-4799 gbullard at imls.gov Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Contact Phyllis Jordan,301-656-0348 pjordan at thehatchergroup.com IMLS Provides $4.3 Million for Early Learning Projects Museums and Libraries will address school readiness and summer reading loss Washington, DC ? Learning opportunities in the early years are critical for school success, yet many children, especially those from low-income families, don?t have these opportunities for a strong start in school. Museums and libraries are stepping up to address this national issue. With a presence in nearly every American community, these trusted institutions expand early learning opportunities for all children, especially for our most vulnerable. To support this emerging role, the Institute of Museum and Library Services is awarding $4,329,567 in grants to 20 museums and libraries in 17 communities. The projects range from developing a mobile app for parents in Philadelphia to creating comic books with kids in Brooklyn, from home visiting with young families in Columbus, Ohio, to training new librarians in Denver about early learning. These projects, many of them involving partnerships with community organizations, further the goals of IMLS and its partner, the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. The Campaign is a collaborative effort by foundations, nonprofit partners, states, and communities across the nation to ensure that more children in low-income families succeed in school. It is working with 134 communities to improve school readiness, fight chronic absence, and reduce the summer slide in an effort to improve reading proficiency by third grade, a key predictor of school success. Last year IMLS awarded more than $2.5 million for early learning grants. IMLS and the GLR Campaign published the nation?s first look at museums and libraries as early learning community resources, entitled Growing Young Minds: How Museums and Libraries Create Lifelong Learners.The report identifies 10 key ways these institutions support young children?s learning, showcases examples of impactful early learning projects, and calls upon policymakers, practitioners, and parents to make full use of the nation?s network of 17,500 museums and 123,000 libraries. ?Providing support for early learning in museums and libraries is a priority for IMLS,? said IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth. ?We urge policymakers, communities, and schools to tap to into the unique resources of libraries and museums and incorporate them into community-based initiatives. With their rich collections and exhibits, museums and libraries provide personalized, experiential, and discipline-focused learning opportunities. This is just the type of learning now regarded as essential for building the language, cognitive, and social tools children need for a strong start in school.? Ralph Smith, Managing Director of the GLR Campaign, applauded the federal agency's leadership in encouraging museums and libraries across the country to help ensure that young children develop the literacy skills essential to succeed in school and beyond. "We know that literacy must be nurtured from birth and that schools can't do this alone,? Smith said. ?Parents, caregivers and the broader community have vital roles to play. And trusted community institutions are ideally situated to rally those efforts and provide the services, tools and supports to make sure that every child has a chance to learn to read well. IMLS' efforts to advance this cause puts it among the Campaign's most valued partners." The awarded grants are listed below. Please Touch Museum?Philadelphia, PA Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $102,484 The Please Touch Museum will use its grant to develop an interactive mobile communications application and website that will serve as a tool to support families through the kindergarten transition years. The mobile application will translate existing resource literature and tools, such as a readiness checklist, activity calendar, and parent-child activities into a digital format. A website, containing the same components as the mobile application, will be created to ensure the resources reach the widest audience possible. The project will establish and work with a network of partners in the Philadelphia area to help determine which resources will best benefit users of the app and website. Boston Children?s Museum?Boston, MA Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $147,424 The Boston Children?s Museum will partner with the Boston Public School?s Office of English Language Learners and the Building Educated Leaders for Life program to implement a Summer Club to prevent summer learning loss. The program?s three-part family engagement includes: 1) informing parents about summer learning and school success opportunities at the museum and from community partners; 2) a five-week Friday night family summer camp with museum-based learning activities for immigrant children and their parents; and 3) an evaluation component of the impact of family engagement on summer learning. The museum will develop the Summer Club curriculum, train and supervise Teen Ambassadors for Summer Club students and other young visitors, and offer bilingual Parent Ambassador Hosts, guest speakers, and summer learning resources to facilitate parent learning and sharing. New England Aquarium?Boston, MA Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $149,863 The New England Aquarium will create a program called Connecting to Oceans, which will help kindergarten through third graders develop science and literacy skills, using live animals and the exploration of outdoor habitats. Partnering with community-based organizations who are already serving these children in out-of-school programs, Connecting to Oceans will provide ocean science content with a focus on literacy skills. Each community-based organization will be matched with a dedicated aquarium educator and a teen intern from the inner city. Over the three-year grant period, more than 300 five- to-eight-year-olds will participate in an estimated 162 learning experiences during the school year and 54 summer program days. Bronx Zoo?Bronx, NY Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $117,139 The Wildlife Conservation Society/Bronx Zoo will redesign, update, expand, and digitize its Pablo Python K-3 curriculum toolkit for early learners, teachers, and parents. The project will add interactive online components, and make the toolkit available across all digital platforms, including the zoo?s website, social media, email, and YouTube. The zoo?s new digital education resources will be designed to increase knowledge about animals and appreciation of nature, deepening audience engagement with science and conservation. The museum will collect baseline audience data; work with technology consultants to create, test, refine, and launch new digital products; and measure their impact and effectiveness. The resulting suite of digital learning products will include a microsite for digitized education resources, fieldtrip preparation kits, and videos and games for early learners. The project will bring new science and literacy learning resources to key audiences at five New York City wildlife parks. Port Discovery Children?s Museum?Baltimore, MD Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $150,000 The Port Discovery Children?s Museum will design, fabricate, install, and promote a new exhibit that explores agriculture through themes of science and technology, history, local ecology, global economy, and art. The ?Here We Grow? exhibit will be rich in words, ideas, images, sounds, and interactive elements to support diverse learning styles; build school readiness skills; promote self-directed and multi-generational learning; and help children develop logic, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills necessary for success in the 21st century. It will link to Maryland?s Social Studies and STEM curricula and help motivate students who have difficulty engaging in classroom settings. The museum will partner with Towson University to develop front-end, formative, and summative evaluation, with prototype exhibit elements being revised and finalized based on evaluation results. The museum will promote the exhibit to families and educators through a targeted marketing campaign, including public relations, social media, and outreach to schools, school districts, and teachers. EdVenture?Columbia, SC Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $149,957 EdVenture will implement the ?Yes, Every Child? program to improve museum accessibility and engagement for Hispanic/Latino families in the Columbia metropolitan area. The museum will build internal capacity including facility, staff/ staff skills, and community networks to better connect with and respond to the rapidly growing Hispanic/Latino community. The program will equip the museum to develop new and additional learning experiences for non-English speaking audiences. The museum will form an advisory group of trusted leaders within the Hispanic/Latino community to serve as cultural brokers. The advisory group will help guide efforts to develop focused outreach to and build relationships with Hispanic/Latino families with young children. These efforts will focus on developing programs to engage and sustain participation, enhance civic engagement, provide cultural and educational opportunities, and enable families to be full participants in their local community. New England Aquarium?Boston, MA Grant Program: Museums for America Award Amount: $149,770 The New England Aquarium will launch a capacity building effort to reduce barriers for potential volunteers and increase leadership opportunities for some of its most capable existing volunteers. The Live Blue Service Initiative includes hands-on, engaging, episodic volunteer service opportunities; expanded community partnerships; and a volunteer leadership training program. To develop leadership among the current volunteers, aquarium staff will offer a training and engagement program for those who have exhibited the interest and capacity to become leaders. These Live Blue Service Leaders will help plan and execute the episodic service events. These will take place at the Aquarium and at partner organization sites and will include educational preparation around the environmental issues being addressed. Volunteers will share their experiences in the Aquarium, on its website and through social media, inspiring others to ?live blue? to protect the oceans. USS Constitution Museum?Boston, MA Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Museums Award Amount: $280,623 The USS Constitution Museum (USSCM) will use its grant to identify characteristics of family programming that result in active intergenerational engagement, enjoyment, and learning in museums and libraries. A rigorous, iterative prototyping process at the USSCM and in libraries across Massachusetts will be followed by broad dissemination of the findings to museum and library professionals locally and nationally. The project seeks to create a robust yet flexible set of guidelines for creating genuine intergenerational learning experiences disseminated through workshops, online resources, conferences, and publications. Hartford Public Library - Hartford, CT Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Planning Grants Award Amount: $47,540 The Hartford Public Library, in collaboration with Hartford Public Schools and other community partners, will conduct two surveys and eight focus groups with teachers, parents, and caregivers to study why many families do not engage in summer learning. The information collected from these activities will create the framework for the ?Summer Learning! Family Engagement Continuum.? The Hartford Public Library will analyze data to better understand the current landscape, identify potential solutions, and seek training to address identified challenges. The framework created through this planning grant will be a summer learning model, and the final report will be distributed to maximize community awareness of this need in the community. The final project will offer comprehensive summer learning services to the community in addition to year-round resources that will help facilitate families learning together. Public Library Association - Chicago, IL Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Research Award Amount: $499,741 The Public Library Association and the Association for Library Service to Children, divisions of the American Library Association will support a three-year project to conduct research that will examine how library programming about early literacy development affects parent behavior and engagement. Through the support of parent-focused early literacy services and programs, public libraries can play a key role in helping children become ready to read and be ready for school. However, the research demonstrating the impact of parent education programming at public libraries has not been undertaken. ?Bringing Home Early Literacy: Determining the Impact of Library Programming on Parent Behavior,? will determine whether parents or caregivers who engage in early literacy practices with their children help them develop the early literacy skills they need to be ready to read. University of Maine - Orono, ME Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Planning Grants Award Amount: $49,922 The University of Maine?s Raymond H. Fogler Library and College of Education and Human Development, with the Old Town Elementary School and Old Town Public Library, will use this grant to support the planning of three informational text kit sets (20 ? 30 kits per set) that will become long-term support for early literacy in Maine. This planning grant will evaluate and develop how libraries can work together to support literacy from birth to age eight and address the challenges of school readiness and summer reading loss. Once created, the kits will act as a model for other libraries to address early literacy challenges. The project will support training on the kits, early literacy knowledge, promoting their use with parents, and the criteria for crafting new kits in the future. Pueblo of Santa Clara - Espanola, NM Grant Program: Native American Library Services Program Category: Enhancement Grants Award Amount: $138,741 The Pueblo of Santa Clara?s Community Library will continue its important role as a community anchor in fostering 21st century learning and information use with a range of interactive projects that will engage community members of all ages. Technology Access Nights will foster responsible technology use and awareness among young learners and their families, especially promoting safe social media practices. For hands-on technology learning, youth, elders, and their families will collaborate on two oral history projects. One will gather stories of Santa Clara Pueblo women?s achievements and cultural endurance, and the other will document strategies for academic success. Also, a youth mentor/internship initiative will create a cadre of ?Bookworm Interns? trained in the Every Child Ready to Read Program?, allowing the interns to practice their new skills during the Summer Reading Program, which will be extended from one to five weeks. Brooklyn Public Library - Brooklyn, NY Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Demonstration Award Amount: $221,308 The Brooklyn Public Library, in partnership with the New York City Housing Authority and the Center for Educational Pathways, will implement ?Read! Write! Create!? a literacy program focused on comic book creation, which targets families with children between the ages five and nine who reside in three public housing developments and the surrounding low-income neighborhoods. The program, which supports the goals of the Campaign for Grade Level Reading and addresses literacy skills in New York State?s Common Core Learning Standards, will reach 600 children and their caregivers over two years through a series of drop-in workshops. Dissemination to the profession will extend the project?s benefits to additional communities. Columbus Metropolitan Library - Columbus, OH Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Demonstration Award Amount: $249,727 Columbus Metropolitan Library, in partnership with Learn4Life and Columbus City Schools, will participate in the Supporting Partnerships to Ensure Ready Kids (SPARK) program, a home visitation program designed to increase high-risk children?s school readiness and parents? effectiveness as learning advocates for their students. The project?s service area is west Columbus, which has some of the highest poverty rates and lowest standardized test scores in central Ohio. Family activities will aid in the development of children?s reading, language, and social skills and will link families to other service providers that can improve children?s health and wellbeing so that they can enter school ready to learn. Providence Community Library - Providence, RI Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Demonstration Award Amount: $250,000 The Providence Community Library will partner with Ready to Learn Providence on ?Ready for K!? a school readiness program designed to reduce the achievement gap for children who are entering kindergarten and have not participated in formal early learning programs. Major project components include professional development for children?s librarians and family literacy programming, including the creation of literacy kits with books and activities. The project will help ensure that students enter kindergarten ready to learn and will demonstrate the library?s important role as a partner in meeting this essential community need. College of Menominee Nation - Keshena, WI Grant Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program Category: Demonstration Award Amount: $100,000 This award to the College of Menominee Nation (CMN, together with an additional award of $92,466 to the School of Library and Information Studies, University of Wisconsin ?

Texas Woman's University - Denton, TX Grant Program: Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians Program Award Amount: $469,999 Texas Woman's University School of Library and Information Studies, and its partners, the Texas Library Association, and the Dallas Public Library, will recruit and educate 18 librarians specializing in early literacy with cultural sensitivity and competencies to provide library services for communities with underrepresented populations. This project seeks to increase the pool of librarians who can work with the children of low-income populations to nurture the love of reading and the early literacy skills critical to lifelong success. University of Houston - Clear Lake - Houston, TX Grant Program: Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians Program Amount: $463,857 The University of Houston - Clear Lake's (UHCL) School Library and Information Science program will use its grant to recruit 15 teachers and educate them in a master?s program focused on emerging readers (pre-kindergarten and kindergarten). The project will increase the number of certified school librarians in Texas, particularly those who work with Hispanic populations; create a model program for educating school librarians in early childhood literacy through collaborations with the UHCL Early Childhood Program and field-based educational experiences; and establish professional development workshops and seminars for those already working in the field. University of Denver, Morgridge College of Education - Denver, CO Grant Program: Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians Program Award Amount:$499,006 The University of Denver Library and Information Science Program and its partners will use their grant to fund the Early Childhood Librarianship program, which is designed to increase the number of MLIS-degreed librarians who are prepared to serve the early literacy needs of very young children (0-5 years), caregivers, educators, and community coalitions. Almost all scholastic achievement is based on early literacy skills, and many young children face substantial obstacles in acquiring these skills. In this program twenty scholarship recipients will study brain research, child development, and Spanish language, among other topics.

The book is a compelling biography of a city as well as a profound commentary on postindustrial America. Binelli was raised in the Detroit area, and is currently a contributing editor for "Rolling Stone" magazine. Binelli provides a tour through Detroit, from Henry Ford's auto and steel boom and the race riots of the 1960s and early 1970s, to the dark ages of widespread crack addiction and the current resurgence led by enterprising idealists, urban farmers and do-it-yourself go-getters.

The MDE's work on Common Core has been on hold since October 1st due to a legislative vote earlier this year that put a pause on MDE spending on CCSS. "Michigan students deserve world-class standards that prepare them for education beyond high school," said Brandy Johnson, executive director of Michigan College Access Network. "The CCSS set a high bar so that our students have a shot at competing in the 21st century global economy. MCAN applauds our elected officials for prioritizing postsecondary readiness for all Michigan students." MCAN is part of the Michigan Coalition for High Student Standards, a statewide coalition of more than 130 organizations working to support the full implementation of the Common Core State Standards.

The authors first describe the history of NSC, the basic structure of its data, and recent research interest in using NSC data. Second, using information from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), they calculate enrollment coverage ratings for NSC data over time, by state, institution type, and demographic student subgroups. To illustrate how a collection of measurement errors may affect estimates of levels and gaps in postsecondary attendance and persistence, they performed several case-student analyses using administrative transcript data from Michigan public colleges.
