Message-ID: The deadline to register for next week's Securing Your Library in Troubling Times special program is today, April 2! This program has been approved for CEUs through the Library of Michigan and LEUs from the Indiana State Library You can attend this program in many ways! In person at the Lansing Community College West Campus, at one of our regional viewing parties throughout Michigan & Indiana or via live streaming video at your office! On April 10, 2014, in partnership with the Michigan State Police, the Cooperative Directors Association, & the Library of Michigan, MCLS will provide a program instructing and preparing librarians for a worst case scenario, an Active Shooter situation. The program will be held at the Lansing Community College West Campus and will be available through live web streaming for remote viewing either in your own office or at regional viewing parties throughout Michigan. Balancing the tenent of libraries as free and open spaces while ensuring the safety of staff and patrons is an ambitious challenge. There are bad actors and some so lost, they barely comprehend their actions. As stewards of our buildings, the charge for librarians is to prepare for the worst; arming ourselves first with knowledge, then acting accordingly. The morning session will consist of training from the Michigan State Police about personal safety and developing an Active Shooter policy and procedures. There will be a panel and presentation from librarians who have dealt with violence in their workplaces and/or undergone Active Shooter training in their library. The final session will be by Mark Alley who will present on the phases of critical incidents and crisis communication. This program is part of a series brought to you by the Cooperative Directors Association, the Library of Michigan and MCLS. This project is funded (in part) with a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the Library of Michigan.

Applications will be accepted from February 1 ? June 1. Project IDOL Fellows will receive full tuition for their MLIS degree, to be completed within 2 years, as well as the advisory support of individual mentors, and additional funds for books, conference travel and a personal computer. Project IDOL is a collaboration between the Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Library Alliance . WSU SLIS and the HBCU Library Alliance have received funding from the IMLS Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program to increase the diversity of the library profession. In this 3-year project, the two partner organizations will recruit, mentor, and offer an online Master of Library and Information Science degree to 10 students from historically underrepresented groups in order to achieve greater diversity among practicing library professionals. SLIS will provide the education and the HBCU library alliance will assist with recruitment and retention through mentorship of the selected students by library professionals with senior level experience and prior mentorship training. Interested Project IDOL applicants must first be accepted into the WSU MLIS program before being considered for Project IDOL funding.

(This workshop series is sponsored by the Friends of the Pinckney Library.) The series is once-a-month on Saturday at 10:30 am. Refreshments will be served. We ask that attendees call the library in advance to register so that we have a good count for the handouts that will be shared during each workshop. This Saturday, April 4th's session topic is: "USING THE GENEALOGYBANK DATABASE" -- Find out how you can use the library's newest database subscription to search historical newspapers. You'll never know what you'll find -- births, deaths, marriages, criminal activity! Newspapers are one of the best places to research family events and fill in the details of your ancestors' lives. Note: The Pinckney Library does not restrict by residency. All attendees for this Saturday's workshop will be given remote access to the library's subscription to the GenealogyBank database. Upcoming session topics are as follows: * Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 10:30am--WHAT ARE GENEALOGY WEBINARS?: Researching your family history means you'll probably be exploring areas of the country or world you weren't expecting. Webinars are a great tool for learning more about your genealogy without having to leave your home. We will go over the basics on how to find and participate in them. * Saturday, June 14, 2014 at 10:30am--SEEKINGMICHIGAN.ORG: Find out more about your Michigan ancestors by using the collections available from the Library of Michigan and the Archives of Michigan. Collections include death certificates from 1897-1920, state census records from 1884-1894, plat maps and Civil War records. This is a not-to-be missed resource! Attendees are encouraged to bring any questions or "brick walls" you have encountered in your research to each session. There will be time for help with your personal quest to uncover your family history. For more information, please visit the Pinckney Library's events website at http://www.pinckneylibrary.org/news-events/genealogy-4-part-workshop.pdf/view [1] or call the library at 734-878-3888 to register for each session. We look forward to seeing you then!

Message-ID: Hello All, Eric Frederick, Executive Director of Connect Michigan (http://www.connectmi.org/), a wonderful supporter of libraries and great colleague, has agreed to testify at the broadband/E-rate hearing at the IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) On April 17th. He will be talking about "what happens when we get it right" and would love to hear your success stories with getting broadband service to the library and what difference it has made. If you benefitted from a collaborative community project which got you to broadband speeds, or if you did it on your own, we still want to hear what you did, why you did it, and if it made a difference. The attached message tells more about the hearing and this link has further information, and this link takes you to further IMLS information: http://www.imls.gov/about/broadband.aspx?id=9&category=6&pg=2 According to Eric: "I've emailed a few libraries that we've worked with through our community planning efforts. My ask of them is a bit vague. The panel I'm on is titled, "what's working" and is aimed at sharing successes. The overall theme is that broadband is critical for libraries and funding for high speed networks is critical. So I want to hear about libraries who have seen a big increase in need for bandwidth or faster connections because of community demand, classes and offerings to increase digital literacy, partnering with schools who have 1 to 1 device programs but not all the students have broadband at home so they come to the library, etc. It's a vague and open ended request but if you could send out a short paragraph to the listserv asking for stories and successes in no more than two paragraphs, there's a good chance they'll end up in my statement." Please consider sending me a paragraph or two on your success story or what you believe is the compelling need for broadband to public libraries. [cid:image004.jpg at 01CF4F4E.DC860DD0] Sheryl L.

Remember that the Michigan eLibrary picks up NoveList K-8 Plus, but *not* the regular NoveList product. What you see below is for that-regular NoveList. New NoveList video available for your library NoveList created a new video to explain the story behind their reading recommendations (read about it and watch it here). And they will customize it especially for your library by adding your logo and tagline. It's perfect for sharing with patrons to let them know about the reading recommendations available in your library. Just send them your details and you'll get a copy of the video file to use on your own site. Here is the form to request your personalized video. Kind regards, Deb D. B.

The revised press release can be accessed here: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP%20Press%20Release%202014.pdf New partners include a number of lighthouse museums on Lake Michigan, the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History, and the Chamber Music Society of Detroit. Only the list of partner venues has changed/expanded. The remainder of the press release remains the same. To view the many choices your patrons will see when they access the www.michiganactivitypass.info site, try this sample search. 1. My Start location: 48375 2. Maximum miles from My Start Location: Instead of the default 50, click the radio button next to the blank box and enter 999. 3. My Library Name: Begin typing Novi Public Library, and the field will auto-fill with the name of that library. When you click the black Search button you will see two things: A map of Michigan with a whole bunch of green balloons rising from it, and a list of 109 venues on the right. I believe you will agree that if Sonny Eliot (Google him if you are too young, or didn't grow up in or near Detroit) were evaluating this map, he would say that we have partner venues "up and down, to and fro, to say nothing of back and forth." We don't have any venues in Engadine, but make sure to pull your map down just a bit, not only to hide Toledo but more importantly to be able to see our two partners in the Keweenaw ear, which (unfortunately) won't squeak if you try to squeeze it. Please note that the number of partner venues obtained in the search results (109) doesn't match the number of partner venues (83) listed in the MAP press release. This on account not every MAP Year 1 (current) venue has signed up to renew for MAP Year 2. I suspect the vast majority of them will do so prior to the May 24 go-live, though. Any partner venue that for whatever reason chooses NOT to renew, will be removed from the MAP database effective May 24. Also, if you click "Get Passes" for the new partner venues, such as Mill Race Historical Village, you will not see any passes listed. Passes for all new partner venues will be available beginning May 24, should patrons inquire about this. We wanted to add the new venues to the MAP database in advance of go-live, in order to give library patrons (and library staff) a "heads-up" as to what is coming. My point here is, with partner venues in nearly every corner of the state--we are still MAP partner-challenged in the far southern and far western U.P., but I have a long-time librarian friend on the board of DCL who is working to help us out there :)--, each of Michigan's nearly 400 public libraries and roughly 650 individual public library buildings that are included in the MAP database can feel comfortable making the www.michiganactivitypass.info MAP link available on their website. Summer and warm weather are both just around the corner, and MAP will make a perfect promotional opportunity/activity for your library for our upcoming vacation season! We appreciate your support for and promotion of, via your media outlets and patrons, the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program.

The successful candidate will exhibit strong management skills and excellent cultural competencies. The Library Director will work well in a complex environment and be a strong team leader who builds consensus internally and be a passionate advocate who connects the library system externally with a broad mosaic of community stakeholders. The library, with a $5 million annual budget ($4.5 from City appropriations), a strong senior management team and a dedicated staff (52.3 FTEs), provides services and programs through the historic Ives Main Library (on the New Haven Green and adjacent to the Yale campus), four branches and a ReadMobile. The Library Director, working with the board and a related foundation board, will build on fundraising successes of the last decade and secure new financial resources to increase services. The Library will serve as a powerful catalyst for strong neighborhoods, academic success of every school child, and workforce development. For additional details see NHFPL Strategic Plan 2014-2016. New Haven is one of America's most dynamic small cities. The City proper has a population of 130,000. The principal municipality of a metropolitan region on the northern shore of Long Island Sound, it is in close proximity to Boston and New York City, which is accessible by more than 40 daily train connections. New Haven had the largest population growth of any New England city in the 2000-2010 U.S. Census and it has the highest apartment occupancy rate in the nation, with construction of more downtown residential sites underway. Like most communities, New Haven is also home to people with socio-economic challenges - but it has a scale and assets that make connecting residents to opportunity more possible. The local economy has a lot of STEAM - with science, technology, education, arts, and medicine as key drivers. Bioscience is growing, fueled by university research and the presence of Yale-New Haven Hospital, the fifth largest hospital in the U.S. Yale University and five other universities in the region enroll 35,000 students a year. Gateway Community College opened a state-of-the art downtown campus in 2012, three blocks from the main library. New Haven has professional theater, practicing architects, new and classical music concerts, outdoor festivals, and free world-class art museums unmatched by any city of similar size in the country. It also has 376 years of history - seen in its town green and architecture spanning three centuries - and nature is always nearby, with beaches, hiking trails, parks and farms not far from the city center. Such recreational opportunities are beneficial, given that New Haven is also a great restaurant town - from fine dining to the best pizza anywhere. For additional information, visit NHFPL Links.

What experiences help to create a sense of shared identity? Our Lives, Our Stories: America's Greatest Generation, a new exhibition that opened this week at the Ypsilanti District Library on Whittaker Road (YDL-Whittaker), explores the life arc of the World War II generation-as told in their own words. Born in the 1910s and 1920s, these people were decisively shaped by the Depression and World War II. They went on to parent the "baby boom" and shape the economic boom of the postwar era. Today-well into the 21st century-we are all living with their legacy. But who are these people upon whom the title of "greatest" has been bestowed? Our Lives, Our Stories draws on memories and oral histories gathered by the Minnesota Historical Society to help us understand who these people really were. The exhibition begins with the babies of the 1910s and 1920s, and then explores the human impact of events that marked major turning points in their lives, including the Depression, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, World War II, the rising awareness of Civil Rights, and the growth of media-driven consumer culture during the post-war boom. While this generation's identity is clearly linked to World War II, the focus of Our Lives, Our Stories seeks to restore a wholeness to our understanding of them by allowing them to tell their stories along the larger arc of their lives. In the process, their diversity of memories reveals them as the complex mix of real people who truly helped to shape the world that we live in today. The exhibit is free and open to the public. It is available every day from April 6 until May 25 during all the hours that the Whittaker Road library is open: Monday-Thursday 9 am-9 pm; Friday and Saturday 10 am-6 pm; and Sunday 1 pm-5 pm. The library is located at 5577 Whittaker Road in Ypsilanti Township. Groups interested in tours should contact Gillian Gainsley at 734-879-1303. The Ypsilanti District Library will also host a variety of programs that will complement the exhibit and allow patrons of all ages to experience the exhibit in new and different ways. Highlights include: * Songs of the Greatest Generation: Musician and Washtenaw Community College professor John E. Lawrence performs fascinating rhythms of the '30s and '40s. Sunday, April 13, 2pm, YDL-Whittaker. * Pop Trivia Night: Grab a team and take the trivia challenge. Win prizes by answering questions about pop culture in the Greatest Generation era. Call 734-879-1303 to register. Thursday, April 17, 7 pm, YDL-Whittaker. * Get Inspired! Fundraising gala: YDL's annual fundraiser will feature a swing band, vintage fashions, and performances that make the exhibit come to life. Guests are invited to wear their favorite '40s or '50s fashions. Tickets are $40 and go to benefit arts and cultural programming at YDL. Call 734-879-1303 for details.

Saturday, May 10, 11 am-4 pm, YDL-Whittaker. # # # As a community resource, the Ypsilanti District Library's mission is to enrich life, stimulate intellectual curiosity, foster literacy, and encourage an informed citizenry.

The Executive Board of the Northeast Kansas Library System (headquartered in Lawrence, KS), seeks an experienced library leader-responsive to member, staff, and community needs and skilled in focusing the efforts of a team of talented professionals-as its next System Director. NEKLS, one of the seven Kansas regional systems, is a multi-type library system and works in partnership with its 118 member libraries providing unique and innovative services. With a $2.8 million annual budget (funded primarily from local property taxes) and 10 FTE system staff, NEKLS serves a 14 county region (more than 40% of Kansas population). Member libraries range from small, rural libraries to very large urban libraries. NEKLS is a member-focused organization with a reputation for being an incubator for statewide projects, for providing excellent continuing education opportunities for member library directors, trustees and staff, and for strong outreach services to its diverse membership, including support for innovative technologies. Key projects include NExpress (an open source ILS), Recollections Kansas (a digitization project), KLOW (KS Libraries on the Web), Kansas Library Express (the statewide courier service), and the accreditation and grant program for member libraries. Ranked as one of the top ten best college towns, Lawrence, Kansas (home of the University of KS Jayhawks) offers much more than championship basketball tradition. Founded in 1854 by the New England Emigrant Aid Society, Lawrence was a stop on both the Oregon and the Santa Fe Trail. Later, Lawrence was the home of Langston Hughes and William S. Burroughs. Considered one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "Dozen Most Distinctive Communities," Lawrence is one of those rare exceptions-a historic downtown that remains the heart of a city. Centered on Massachusetts Street ("Mass Street"), the area features boutiques, restaurants, bookstores, and music venues. With a population of 89,000 people, Lawrence and Northeast Kansas offer a charming blend of urban and rural environments. In addition to nationally ranked public schools, Lawrence and the area offer the Lied Center of Kansas, Spencer Museum of Art, Liberty Hall, and Haskell Indian Nations University. Outdoor recreational venues include nationally known golf courses, extensive planned bike paths, Clinton Lake and Prairie Park. Two metro areas- Kansas City and Topeka- are a 30 minute drive away.

The Library Board of Trustees of the Romeo District Library seeks an experienced professional to provide vision, leadership and consistency for the staff and community. Romeo District Library is an independent taxing district with a perpetual millage exclusively dedicated to public library service. Governed by a six-member Board of Trustees (representing the communities of Washington Township, Bruce Township, and the Village of Romeo), the Library staff (22FTE) serves the 33,839 citizens in the district with a $1.8 million dollar annual budget. The Library consists of the Graubner Library and the Kezar Branch--each with its unique character and excellent staff, programs and services. This is a library district ready to grow with its communities, move forward with innovation while balancing tradition and history, and be the best library it can be for its citizens. The village of Romeo is a charming mix of old and new-the deep roots of its stately homes and historic downtown blend with its continuing growth and development. Different living options abound-from a quaint 100 year old home downtown, a modern home on a cul de sac, or a working farm. Its location provides easy access to a major airport, excellent shopping, dining options, and good public schools. The community also celebrates its history of orchards and agriculture with the annual Michigan Peach Festival of Romeo. For additional information, on the library and the region, please visit Romeo District Library Links . Responsibilities.

These duties include personnel, budget preparation and financial management, policies and projects, purchasing, facilities management, and community relations. The Director will be the "face" of the library in the Romeo District as well as an internal leader and listener with a focus on developing strategic directions for both community and staff. For additional details, please see Director Job Description . Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include graduation from an accredited four year college, a Master's Degree from an ALA Accredited School of Library Science, and four years of experience as an administrator or a department head for a public library. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board, demonstrated success working with local officials, community organizations and agencies, previous experience working in a union environment, and experience leading and implementing a shared vision and a strategic planning process is desirable.

Are you wondering how this might impact your library? Are you wondering what makerspaces *are? *Are you interested in participating in a keynote session with an engaging, dynamic, and *very *well-traveled expert? If so, don't miss Kristin Fontichiaro, Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's School of Information, speak on "Building Makerspace Culture in Libraries" at MLA's upcoming Technologies & Trends Workshop on Friday, May 16 at Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Ms. Fontichiaro has presented on makerspaces and maker culture all over the world; in this session, she'll share why makerspaces mean more than 3D printers. They offer libraries and librarians new venues through which to build community, develop patron capacity, and empower creative expression.

My best to all, Nancy Forwarded message from Carol: It is my pleasure to let you know that after advice from the interview team and his Superintendent's Group, Mike has selected Randy Riley to succeed Nancy as the next State Librarian of Michigan. Randy has accepted the position and will officially begin his new role on April 28, 2014. Nancy and Randy will be starting a transition process soon to take every advantage of Nancy's short time remaining with us before she retires. We would like to especially thank Kathy Irwin and Carolyn Sparks, LM and LM Foundation Board representatives, for taking so much time from their very busy schedules to participate as part of the interview team which included first interviews for 8 candidates as well as second interviews for 3 finalists. Other members of the team included Maureen Hirten, CADL executive director, and Karren Reish and Kevin Driedger from the Library of Michigan staff. It was a pleasure to facilitate the work of this team; they were totally committed to the process and did an outstanding job. While we will certainly miss Nancy and wish her well in retirement, we are looking forward to working with Randy in this new capacity and moving the Library into the future.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 16, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4630 Mamie Bittner, mbittner at imls.gov IMLS Hosts Library Convening April 29 at the New York Public Library U.S. Archivist David Ferriero and Other Experts To Discuss National Digital Platform Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will hold a stakeholder convening about trends in library service on Tuesday April 29, from 9:30 a.m.-- 4:30 p.m. at the New York Public Library. The focus of the meeting, which is the first of three to be held nationwide, is the national digital platform. IMLS invites broad participation via a live webcast, accessible here, and library professionals and the public are encouraged to participate through social media using the Twitter hashtag #imlsfocus. Seating at the event is extremely limited. IMLS supports the work of libraries to meet the nation?s growing demands for digital content. A key strategic priority of IMLS is to promote access to digitized collections to facilitate discovery of knowledge and cultural heritage. An analysis of IMLS grants to states program finds that states have used more than $1 billion in IMLS funding to support a wide range of digital investments, including massive digitization, repositories, and data aggregation; data residencies and skills training; self-publishing initiatives; providing access to e-books and developing digital tools. At the convening library and archive leaders will discuss key needs, gaps, opportunities, and goals to consider in furthering national digital initiatives. An agenda is available on the IMLS website. Specifically the discussion will cover: * Infrastructure: Examining the Hubs Model * Content * Use: Challenge and opportunities to broad use * Tool: Encouraging Innovation * Access at Scale * Skills Among the speakers are: * Anthony Marx, President and CEO, New York Public Library, * David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, Dan Cohen, Executive Director, Digital Public Library of America, * Sari Feldman, Executive Director, Cuyahoga County Public Libraries, * Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for Networked Information * Rachel Frick, Director, Digital Library Federation * Josh Greenberg, Program Director for Digital Information Technology, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation * Brett Bobley, Chief Information Officer, National Endowment for the Humanities * Elliott Shore, Executive Director, Association of Research Libraries The next two meetings will be on May 15 on learning spaces in libraries at the San Francisco Public Library and on June 5 on STEM learning at the Chicago Public Library. IMLS will release a revised National Leadership Grant application this summer that will reflect the priorities identified during these meetings.

(--Gillian) Our Lives, Our Stories: America's Greatest Generation Opens April 5-May 25 at the Ypsilanti District Library, 5577 Whittaker Road, Ypsilanti MI 48197 Who speaks for the experiences of a generation and their impact on the world around them? What experiences help to create a sense of shared identity? Our Lives, Our Stories: America's Greatest Generation, a new exhibition that opened this week at the Ypsilanti District Library, explores the life arc of the World War II generation-as told in their own words. Born in the 1910s and 1920s, these people were decisively shaped by the Depression and World War II. They went on to parent the "baby boom" and shape the economic boom of the postwar era. Today-well into the 21st century-we are all living with their legacy. But who are these people upon whom the title of "greatest" has been bestowed? Our Lives, Our Stories draws on memories and oral histories gathered by the Minnesota Historical Society to help us understand who these people really were. The exhibition begins with the babies of the 1910s and 1920s, and then explores the human impact of events that marked major turning points in their lives, including the Depression, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, World War II, the rising awareness of Civil Rights, and the growth of media-driven consumer culture during the post-war boom. While this generation's identity is clearly linked to World War II, the focus of Our Lives, Our Stories seeks to restore a wholeness to our understanding of them by allowing them to tell their stories along the larger arc of their lives. In the process, their diversity of memories reveals them as the complex mix of real people who truly helped to shape the world that we live in today. The exhibit is free and open to the public. It is available every day from April 6 until May 25 during all the hours that the Whittaker Road library is open: Monday-Thursday 9 am-9 pm; Friday and Saturday 10 am-6 pm; and Sunday 1 pm-5 pm. The library is located at 5577 Whittaker Road in Ypsilanti Township. Groups interested in tours should contact Gillian Gainsley at 734-879-1303. The Ypsilanti District Library will also host a variety of programs that will complement the exhibit and allow patrons of all ages to experience the exhibit in new and different ways. Highlights include: * Get Inspired! Fundraising gala: YDL's annual fundraiser will feature a swing band, vintage fashions, and performances that make the exhibit come to life. Guests are invited to wear their favorite '40s or '50s fashions. Tickets are $40 and go to benefit arts and cultural programming at YDL. Call 734-879-1303 for details. Friday, April 25, 7 pm, YDL-Whittaker. * South Adams Street Walking Tour: Learn the stories of the tightly-knit African American community that lived in Ypsilanti between the Civil War and WWII. Tour for teens: Saturday, May 3. Tour for adults: Friday, May 30. Both tours meet at 3:45 pm at Library Plaza next to YDL-Michigan, at 229 W. Michigan Avenue. * A Thousand Letters Home: Local author Teresa Irish will discuss the book she wrote compiling the letters her father, Bud, sent home during his service in WWII.

Do you have an interest in supervisory topics in libraries? Are you new to a supervisory position?

Explore topics such as managing people, working with boards or higher administration, project management, introduction to finance, time management and more. This workshop will provide an excellent networking opportunity with peers in similar situations.

Regardless of which role you associate with more - leader or manager - Allison will help you identify an effective and authentic strategy for creating empowerment that provides the right perspective, tools and skills necessary to reach your goals. Allison McClintick, FlightLead 11:30 am - 12:00 pm Table Talk facilitated by Allison McClintick 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Lunch 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Empowering Staff to Seek Professional Development Professional development of staff provides value to any organization; it fosters growth for the individual as well as for the institution. However, what happens when you have staff members who are unable to see the value of or know where to find professional development opportunities? This panel will discuss the importance of professional development for staff and how to motivate and empower staff to want to broaden their own professional knowledge. Tammy Turgeon, Sterling Heights Public Library, Suburban Library Cooperative; Lee Van Orsdel, Grand Valley State University; Eva Davis, Canton Public Library; and Pamela Grudzien, Central Michigan University 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm Table Talk - Professional development for staff 2:15 pm -2:30 pm Break 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm What are Leadership Competencies? What does it take to be a successful leader in an organization? Often we read that many current leaders are concerned that our new employees are not exposed to the soft skills needed in leadership roles? But what exactly do those skills look like? This panel will discuss how best to develop needed leadership competencies for our up and coming librarians. Tammy Turgeon, Sterling Heights Public Library, Suburban Library Cooperative; Lee Van Orsdel, Grand Valley State University; Eva Davis, Canton Public Library; and Cheryl Lyons, Capital Area District Library 3:30 pm - 3:45 pm Table Talk - Leadership competencies 3:45 pm - 4:00 pm Wrap up Registration is open.

The author, David Vinjamuri, who has no obvious library connections, say nice things about the public library. "But there is another side to public libraries in America: they are dynamic, versatile community centers. They welcomed more than 1.59 billion visitors in 2009 and lent books 2.4 billion times ? more than 8 times for each citizen. More than half of young adults and seniors living in poverty in the United States used public libraries to access the Internet. They used this access, among other purposes to ?find work, apply to college, secure government benefits, and learn about critical medical treatments? For all this, public libraries cost just $42 per citizen each year to maintain." Comments like this have a much greater appearance of objectivity and trustworthiness when made by a non-librarian. http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidvinjamuri/2013/01/16/why-public-libraries-matter-and-how-they-can-do-more/ If someone else has already talked about this article, my apologies for the duplication.

If you are, please tell us about it and use our resources! The California Library Association and California Summer Meal Coalition have developed extensive resources to help support and promote summer meal programs in libraries. *Website:* Visit our Lunch at the Library pagesfor planning, implementation, and evaluation resources: http://www.cla-net.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=587 *Listserv:* Email us to be included on our Lunch at the Library discussion list to ask questions, share information, and exchange ideas with colleagues: ncole at cla-net.org *Interactive map*: Fill out our formto be included on our interactive map of library summer meal sites: http://www.cla-net.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=795 Public library summer meal programs keep kids healthy, fed, and engaged when school is out. They help address summer learning loss and reduce the summer nutrition gap. Every summer, millions of kids and teens are at risk of going hungry because they no longer have access to the free or reduced-price meals they received when they were in school.

I know this winter has been long and drawn out causing many circumstances for the people who did the scheduling to prepare for the conference. HOWEVER, I would hope they will reconsider what attendees will be going through to just attend a session to make the libraries a better place for our communities...not ourselves. A life is more important that money. Maybe someone from the Library of Michigan can inform us if what you are saying is true. It's a rural conference in which small libraries don't have big budgets to fly or pay staff extra time that it will take to get there and back with all the time constraints that are happening due to the weather.

The good news is that it looks like it is going to be in the forties up there all week with some rain, which might help with melting. There are a couple groups on FB that you might consider joining because people in the groups have been following the weather and the ice conditions very carefully. One is Mackinac Island News and Views and the other is I Love St. Ignace. People posting to those groups are primarily locals so they know what's going on. If all else fails, there's always the plane from St. Ignace. :-) Good luck!

I did not mean to suggest that Shepler's would ever endanger any passengers, but that is part of my concern. If any ferry trips have to be cancelled it will make getting on and off the Island that much more difficult, and expensive. Someone suggested that the Library of Michigan will reimburse us if we fly. Is that true? I haven't seen that anywhere. All I am saying is I am not willing to ride in a bus strapped to the deck of the Sacre Bleu going 5 mph through the ice for an hour. That's assuming conditions permit strapping buses and vans to the deck. If they aren't then they can take 54 people at a time. It is my personal opinion that there is cause for concern. Maybe those of us who live on the Great Lakes have a little more respect for their power. Everything will probably be fine, and I hope you all have a great conference. I am really sorry we will miss it. Nannette Miller Elk Rapids District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The freight boat has made trips prior to today, however this is the first time this season they've carried passengers. It sounded like they will attempt to load vans or buses on the freight boat to get passengers across. This boat was rebuilt a couple of years ago and has some of the features of an ice-cutter, so Mr. Shepler wasn't at all reluctant to announce that the passenger transfers will begin today. He also mentioned that this is not a speedy boat, not like the ones used in open water, so patience is necessary. One must drive to St. Ignace as nothing is traveling from Mackinac City across the straights. Hope this helps. I agree with the person who wishes to see the hard work and planning for this conference not go to waste.

This is a video of the Sacre Bleu , the only boat Shepler?s has running, leaving St. Ignace yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154104350790217&set=vb.199146720216&type=2&theater I called Shepler?s this morning to ask how 150 people would fit on this boat. They hope to be able to put buses and vans on the deck and fill them with people, but they aren?t sure they will be able to because yesterday ice was coming over the bow. Getting there is only our first concern. With a shift in the wind it could jam up again and we could be stranded on the island. Ferry service is still subject to cancellation. Are we the only chickens?

Updated slides and handouts available here: http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/106567 Thursday, 1:30 - 3:00 pm*, Museum Meeting Room Business Information: Help and Resources are Closer than they Appear When libraries can answer questions from local businesses, they have a tremendous opportunity to create partnerships with businesses in your community and showcase the value of the library to your local economy. This session will focus on the free services and electronic resources that are available to all library users in Michigan. How can you best use the resources to answer the questions your local businessmen and women may have? Find out more about expertise and additional resources are available through the business libraries at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan for you to use with businesses in your own local community. *Note the extended session time. The entire program looks great and the trip will be the best way possible to say goodbye to this record breaking winter of 2013-2014. If you are not attending, but have questions about this program, please do not hesitate to write. Best wishes and Go Blue (a reference to the ice more than the Wolverines!)

Parking at Sheplers is on their website. My husband and I are going to use Sheplers outside lot (its located outside vs. inside under cover (the inside cost more-see website).

I have just arrived at the Grand Hotel after a ride on the Shepler's Cargo Ferry. The ride was smooth as could be expected with gale force winds and ice in the marinas. At no time did I feel unsafe or ill on the boat and I hope you will not cancel because the wind is supposed to be much calmer tomorrow. It will be crowded and may take a little longer to get to your destination but that's part of the adventure.

(Sponsored by the Friends of the Pinckney Library.) This third session is entitled: WHAT ARE GENEALOGY WEBINARS?--During the first part of this session, our presenter will explain what webinars are and how genealogists and researchers can use them as a great tool for learning more about your family or local history. How to find useful webinars and how to participate in them will also be covered. During the second part of the program, participants are given time to work together and help with attendees' personal research questions or "brick walls" they might have encountered in their research. There will be time for group help and brainstorming during each session. These workshops are free to the general public and refreshments will be served. We ask, however, that attendees call in advance to register so that we have a good count for how many handouts to print. For more details on each of the workshop activities, check out our Facebook Information Page for "A Bridge to the Past": https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152331858088672&set=np.105108113.1116708890&type=1&theater¬if_t=notify_me To register, please contact the Pinckney Community Public Library at 734-878-3888 or visit our website, Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
