The speed test study is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and is supported by the Association of Rural and Small Libraries, the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, the Public Library Association, and the Urban Libraries Council. The new study will complement findings from the 2013-2014 Digital Inclusion Survey released last week, providing a snapshot of the broadband speed a library patron experiences at the device level (pdf). Taken together, the data will help inform the Federal Communications Commission's current E-rate proceeding, including questions about future funding needs. This new data collection effort seeks responses from a sample of about 1,000 libraries, while allowing any library to capture the broadband speed data for their advocacy use. No software needs to be downloaded, and libraries will be asked to run the speed test at least twice during open hours. Logon at digitalinclusion.pnmi.com/speedtest before August 8 to capture data. Results from the speed test study will be published in September 2014. Shannon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.

It is Friday, August 1 and as of this morning, Michigan's public libraries have now circulated exactly half as many MAP passes in the first two months of MAP Year 2 (May 24, 2014 to date) as you did for the entire 12 month period of MAP Year 1 (May 24, 2013 to May 23, 2014). I knew you could do it! Are you up for another challenge? Can you circulate a sufficient number of MAP passes between today and the end of the traditional summer vacation season, date for which we will use September 1, to surpass (or at least tie) last year's total 12 month circulation? Let's try! You have the resources, in the form of your dedicated and motivated staff. Brigette has created the promotional material for said staff to use, available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ And TLN has worked to establish relationships with a wide variety of Michigan cultural partners from stem to stern, from border to border, back and forth, up and down, to say nothing of to and fro. In putting all of this together and working towards our goal of surpassing last year's total MAP circulation by the end of this summer, I am reminded of a phrase from my favorite book from childhood: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." You likely don't need to be reminded as to the title of said book. When we return to work on Tuesday, September 2 following our Labor Day holiday, we hope to be able to supply the corollary to that well-known phrase, in the form of: "I thought I could, I thought I could." I KNOW you can. Thank you for your continued support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

We would like to have any (and every!) interested public library become a demo site. Demo sites will be issued a digital talking book machine, a book on cartridge, and will be granted partial access to BARD (our online downloading website) in order to demo to your current patrons who may qualify for our services. Also, we are able to provide training to library staff in person on a case by case basis or via webinar. Currently we have a webinar scheduled on August 21st through the Library of Michigan- to sign up go to: http://www.solutionwhere.com/lom/cw/showcourse.asp?55 As public librarians, you see our potential patrons, their family members, and community center leaders in person on a regular basis-they trust you for their informational needs. We hope by signing up public libraries as demo sites, your staff can work with these patrons to bring awareness to our free service. The Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL) offers audio books, magazines, and braille titles to patrons with the following disabilities: * Blindness * Visual Disability (Unable to read standard printed materials without special aids other than regular glasses). * Physical Disability (Unable to hold a book or turn the pages as a result of weakened muscle or nerve control due to strokes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, polio, or other physical conditions that impair the use of arms or hands). * DeafBlind * Reading Disability (Organic dysfunction, such as dyslexia, of sufficient severity to prevent reading. IF THIS BOX IS CHECKED, doctors of medicine or osteopathy who may consult with colleagues in associated disciplines must certify). Please email me off-list if your public library is interested in becoming a demo site, and I will provide more details. You can also visit our website at: www.michigan.gov/btbl to learn more.

Crown Point Community Library, Indiana Message-ID: <01c801cfb014$1c7e0890$557a19b0$@gossagesager.com> Library Director- Crown Point Community Library Read.Discover.Connect. Discover and connect with the charm and character of Crown Point and the Crown Point Community Library. The Crown Point Community Library Board of Trustees seeks a talented and energetic Director to lead the Library and its constituents to meet the needs of this growing community. The Library Director will provide quality leadership, direct and support staff, and bring new ideas and exciting innovation to the Library. Crown Point Community Library, located in Lake County, Indiana, serves the 42,000 residents of Center and Winfield Townships. Governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, the two library locations-downtown Crown Point Library and the Winfield Library-provide excellent services and programs with 39 staff and a $1.6 million annual budget. The Library, originally established as a Carnegie library, realized in 2005 that is was rapidly outgrowing and outpacing its facility. In 2010, the Library passed a successful $12 million bond issue and the "new" Crown Point Library opened in 2012. Crown Point , the "Hub of Lake County, IN," is the county center anchored by the stunning Lake County Court House and the Public Library located on a thriving square with retail and restaurants. This "jewel" of a growing community-the population has increased exponentially within the last 14 years-provides a family-friendly, small town lifestyle with nearby city amenities (Chicago and Indianapolis are a short drive away). Local residents will find excellent public schools, strong neighborhoods, and affordable housing. Purdue University, Valparaiso University, Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana University Northwest, and University of St. Francis offer higher education opportunities. In addition to its modern charm, Crown Point has an abundance of historic architecture and invites its visitors and residents to explore it through walking tours and a visit to the Lake County Historical Museum. For more information about the Library, Crown Point and Lake County, visit Crown Point Links . Responsibilities. Under the direction of the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director develops, administers, supervises, and coordinates the work of the Library and staff, performs managerial duties related to personnel, budget, collection development, building maintenance, and library operations and services in conformity of the policies established by the Board of Trustees and the laws of the Indiana State Library. The successful candidate will be able to balance traditional service while implementing new, bold, thoughtful programs and services. See Crown Point Library Director to see the complete job description. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include an ALA-accredited Master's Degree in Library Science; the ability to obtain and retain an Indiana Librarian Certificate 1; and ten years progressively responsible library experience (or six years library experience including three years of supervisory experience). Essential attributes and skills include: excellent communication and organizational skills; the ability and desire to plan, develop, and administer the activities of a public library; supervisory experience; and an understanding and appreciation of library best practices in the areas of intellectual freedom, collections, and library technologies. The successful candidate must also demonstrate the ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the Board, staff, and community stakeholders. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board is desirable. Compensation. The starting salary range is $62,000 to $74,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package.

There are other models out there as well but Oyster has the most aggressive marketing. I joined Scribd for awhile and Amazon now also has an all-you-can-read model with a monthly charge. When I checked the Amazon service against the authors I read, I did not find any of them included. Oyster is probably the most polished when it comes to helping readers find new things to try and may have the best collection of solid reads. Most of them I've seen are ten bucks a month.

A total of 1,145 (or 23.03 percent) of the township's 4,971 registered voters cast a ballot. We need to reach out more to our community between now and November to generate more support for funding and perhaps with a larger turnout and not so many millages up for renewal, we will have a better chance for success.

REGISTRATION: $25 (lunch included) Registration and additional information at https://www.regonline.com/Northwoods_Library_2014 KEYNOTE Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe Professor & Coordinator for Information Literacy Services and Instruction University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The Value of Information Literacy: Creating, Demonstrating, and Communicating Library Impact Ultimately, the value of information literacy is created, demonstrated, and communicated by how well it reflects and supports the missions of our schools, communities colleges, colleges and universities. As developments in teaching and learning offer new opportunities for integrative information literacy in curricula and the student experience, libraries are poised to respond with a full-range of useful information tools and resources, robust services, and welcoming and enriching space/place environments. Drawing on the ACRL Value of Academic Libraries Initiative, this keynote session will highlight strategies for integrating information literacy in content-specific and general education curricula, engaging pedagogies, creative collaboration, space design and development. SESSIONS Tales from an AiA Project: Demonstrating the Value of Faculty Collaboration and Library Instruction on Student Learning and Confidence Margaret Phillips (Education and Assessment Coordinator, Van Pelt and Opie Library, Michigan Technological University) Michigan Technological University was one of 75 libraries who participated in year one (2013-14) of the ACRL Assessment -in-Action (AiA) program. For this project, librarians and social sciences faculty members at Tech collaborated to meaningfully integrate information literacy instruction into a first year general education course and analyze the impact on student learning and confidence. Information literacy instruction was provided through a series of short online video tutorials. Impact was measured using a direct assessment method (rubric) as part of a university-wide assessment process and through the use of a survey to gather information on student confidence in accessing and evaluating library resources. The results show trends that indicate the collaboration and videos are effective in getting students started with library research. This program will provide an overview of the Michigan Tech project and also the ACRL AiA program in general. Instruction Program Evaluation: A Refined Process for Gathering Data and Communicating Value Mary O'Kelley (Head of Instruction, Grand Valley State University) Do you know how many of your institution's students participated in library instruction? By grade? By major? What's their GPA? And how many of them re-enrolled? In a time of intense focus on student retention and success, having an efficient process for gathering and analyzing data about student library engagement is critical. Hear from the GVSU Head of Instructional Services about the instruction data gathering process they have in place. Session will include time for idea sharing. Improving Information Literacy Instruction Using Authentic Assessment of Student Work Products Sarah Lucchesi (Instruction and Learning Team Leader , Van Pelt and Opie Library, Michigan Technological University) Librarians at the Van Pelt and Opie Library of Michigan Technological University have developed a process of improving course-integrated information literacy instruction sessions by assessing student work products using a modified version of the university-level information literacy rubric. We piloted this process last academic year when we noticed that the quality of students' citations in a junior-level Engineering Design Process course was not improving, despite changes we had made to the library instruction session based on what we perceived students' needs to be. By using the rubric to assess student work products, we identified their actual areas of need and made significant changes to the library instruction session. The quality of sources selected by students the following semester showed strong improvement. In this session, we will share our assessment process and give participants the opportunity to gain hands-on practice with modifying rubrics and assessing student work. Leslie A.

It might help you locate needed items and make trades for stuff you don't need. If you are not part of a local municipality, you could share it with your mayor, etc. Best, Dave Listings app lets local governments trade equipment: MuniRent wants to encourage city councils to take advantage by pooling their resources and lending them to each other. 31 Jul 2014 Spotted by ( http://www.springspotters.com/) Murray Orange, written by Springwise Peer-to-peer lending has already hit a wide range of industries, from audio-visual equipment ( http://www.springwise.com/peer-to-peer-rentals-audio-visual-equipment/) business goods ( http://www.springwise.com/sharing-marketplace-business/) , enabling those who can?t afford to own limited use items to lend them from others in their community. Now MuniRent ( https://www.munirent.co/) wants to encourage city councils to take advantage by pooling their resources and lending them to each other. The platform is available as a free-to-use website and an app for both iOS and Android ( href=) devices, and enables municipalities to list any equipment they?re willing to loan. Each listing includes details such as the make and model, how old it is, whether transportation or an operator can be included, and the price of rental per day. Other local authorities can then browse the app and quickly arrange to hire the equipment they need for a typically lower price than commercial rental. The site currently offers items such as diggers, specialist trucks, street cleaning vehicles and pavement rollers. Councils often spend money on expensive equipment that is used for occasional projects but otherwise sits in storage. MuniRent helps authorities to cut their operation costs and even create a new revenue source by lending out their unused items. Are there other industries that are still to take advantage of P2P sharing?

Message-ID: I am pleased to announce that your Michigan Reads kits are being mailed this week! Every public library building will be receiving a kit. Also, each K-2 building will be receiving one kit. GSRP and Head Start sites will also be receiving approximately one kit for every two classrooms. Please find State Librarian Randy Riley's letter to program recipients attached. Keep an eye out for the kit with the Acoustic Rooster for your patrons. The 2014 title, Kwame Alexander's Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band, and the programming guide are full of developmentally appropriate activities for your programs. In the book, Acoustic Rooster learns about music, teamwork and sportsmanship. After realizing he can't win the barnyard talent contest as a solo act, a rooster with a love for jazz looks for help from other animals. He brings together a quartet, and their ability to work together is cleverly captured in this book with rhyming text and references to key American musicians. The launch event will be on Monday, September 8th at the Pleasant View Magnet School in Lansing with author Kwame, State Superintendent Mike Flanagan, and State Librarian Randy Riley in celebration of International Literacy Day. The author & illustrator tour will go throughout September and October and is listed at www.michigan.gov/michiganreads. To promote your local events, you can also find web ready graphics and a sample press release in the Promotions Toolkit at the same site. Thank you for your support and participation in this program!

Building on a new strategic plan outlining core values, the Director, with a five-member Board of Trustees, a $1.2 million budget, and a stunning, new Library (2004), will work to implement goals including, but not limited to, building relationships with surrounding townships, expanding library hours, and developing the talents of a dedicated team of library staff. Petoskey, MI, known for the famous "Petoskey stone" and being the home to Ernest Hemingway for many years, overlooks the shores of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay in the Lower Peninsula. It's a resort community of unmatched beauty and charm with all of the amenities of a larger city. In addition to the arts and stellar public schools, Petoskey is the county seat and offers outdoor recreation opportunities including bike trails, boating, fishing and the Midwest's best downhill skiing. Emmet County, organized in 1853, was known for years as L'Arbre Croche (Crooked Tree)-so named by early French fur traders and missionaries for a tall tree overhanging a high bluff used as a landmark for approaching canoes. Also called "Land of a Million Dollar Sunsets," Petoskey has served as a summertime destination for vacationing city residents for many years. Tourism continues to be a major economic force and Petoskey is now a four-season destination with outstanding shopping and views-and the year-round home for many who enjoy its beauty and charm. Petoskey is also home to McLaren Northern Michigan (health care) and North Central Michigan College.

The details of the changes are still being teased out and it can be hard to find summaries in plain language but this document is a handy one to review. Do these changes affect you? They do if you apply or if you're considering applying. What's the biggest reason to consider applying if you don't already? Substantial additional funds will be available for support of Internet connectivity (see below for specifics). Consider coming to the Advanced E-rate training at the Library of Michigan on November 20th (registration pending, stay tuned to Michlib-l). Remember that your local E-rate contact is your co-op director and their contact information can be found at: http://michigan.gov/erateforlibraries. --Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 517-373-4457 [header] August 12, 2014 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE E-RATE MODERNIZATION ORDER The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted the E-rate Modernization Order on July 11, 2014. The Order takes major steps to modernize and streamline the E-rate program and focuses on expanding funding for Wi-Fi networks in eligible elementary and secondary schools and libraries across America. The rule changes identified below will become effective for funding year 2015 unless otherwise noted. Closing the Wi-Fi Gap The Order sets a target of providing $1 billion in annual support for eligible internal connections, which will be referred to as "category two" services. Services needed to support connectivity to schools and libraries will be referred to as "category one" services. Support for the E-rate program remains capped at $2.25 billion, adjusted for inflation annually since 2010. However, to help meet the target of $1 billion for eligible internal connections in the short term, the Order states that the additional funding announced by the Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) earlier in 2014 will allow the FCC to make an additional $1 billion available annually in FY 2015 and 2016. If demand for category one services exceeds available funding, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) will shift funds targeted for category two services to meet category one demand. Alternatively, once category one demand is met, the FCC may redirect remaining funds to support category two requests. Funds not committed for category one or category two services may be carried forward to be used in a subsequent funding year. The Order expresses confidence that there will be sufficient funding available for FY 2015 and 2016 to meet the $1 billion annual target for internal connections. The highest discount level for category one services remains 90 percent, except that the highest discount rate for voice services will be 70 percent in funding year 2015, and will decrease by an additional 20 percentage points each subsequent funding year. The highest discount level for category two services is set at 85 percent. Schools applying for category two funding can request discounts on purchases of up to $150 (pre-discount) per student for category two services over a five-year period. Libraries applying for category two funding can request discounts on purchases of up to $2.30 (pre-discount) per square foot over a five-year period. To ensure that category two budgets are sufficient to meet the demands of small schools and libraries, the Order establishes a funding floor of $9,200 (pre-discount) in category two support available for each school or library over a five-year period. Applicants will calculate their funding eligibility using the adjusted discount matrix. The costs for services shared by multiple entities must be divided between the entities sharing the service. The two-in-five year rule will not be in effect for applicants that receive support in FY 2015 and 2016. The five year budget will apply only to those entities that receive support in FY 2015 and/or 2016, and the first year of the applicant's five year budget will be the first funding year in which the applicant receives support. Applicants can seek support for category two eligible non-recurring services purchased on or after Apri1 1, three months prior to the start of the funding year on July 1. Funding for internal connections is available for routers, switches, wireless access points, internal cabling, racks, wireless controller systems, firewall services, uninterruptable power supply, caching, and the software supporting each of these components used to distribute high-speed broadband throughout schools and libraries. Basic maintenance services, managed Wi-Fi, and caching are eligible for category two support. Support for these services will be available only to those applicants that receive category two support in funding years 2015 and/or 2016. Support is eliminated for circuit cards/components; interfaces, gateways, antennas; servers (except those WCB may find necessary for caching); software; storage devices; telephone components, video components, as well as voice over IP or video over IP components, and the components, such as virtual private networks, that are listed under Data Protection other than firewalls and uninterruptible power supply/battery backup. The discount rate applicants receive for voice services will be reduced by 20 percentage points beginning in funding year 2015, and reduced by 20 additional percentage points in each subsequent funding year. This phase down will apply to all costs incurred for the provision of telephone services and circuit capacity dedicated to providing voice services, including: local phone service, long distance service, plain old telephone services, radio loop, 800 service, satellite telephone, shared telephone service, Centrex, wireless telephone service such as cellular, and interconnected VoIP. If the FCC takes no further action on this phase down by the opening of the funding year window for funding year 2018, the phase down will continue. The following services are no longer eligible for any E-rate support: paging; telephone service components, including directory assistance charges, text messaging, custom calling services, direct inward dialing, 900/976 call blocking, and inside wire maintenance plans; e-mail; web hosting; and voicemail. Data plans and air cards for mobile devices will remain eligible for support only if a school or library can demonstrate that individual data plans are the most cost-effective options for providing internal broadband access for portable mobile devices at its facility. Maximizing the Cost Effectiveness of E-rate Spending USAC must make publicly available on its website information regarding services and equipment purchased by school and libraries. Applicants may opt out of this public disclosure requirement only if a specific law, rule, or other restriction bars publication of the purchasing price data. Vendor contracts executed after the effective date of the Order may not contain any restriction barring publication of this pricing data. WCB may designate master contracts as "preferred master contracts" and (1) exempt a preferred master contract from the FCC Form 470 filing requirement, (2) require the preferred master contract to be included in the bid evaluation if an applicant chooses to file an FCC Form 470 for a service covered by a preferred master contract, or (3) both. A consortium lead may seek bids on behalf of the schools, school districts, and libraries for which it has authority to seek competitive bids for E-rate eligible services, even if it does not have authority to purchase services for the consortium members. The Order directs USAC to prioritize review of E-rate applications from state and regional consortia applicants. Maximizing the E-rate Administration and Application Processes Fast, Simple, and Efficient Applicants entering into new qualifying multi-year contracts will be permitted to use a streamlined application process in subsequent funding years if they submit a complete FCC Form 471 for the first funding year of the contract. Applicants in existing multi-year contracts must submit a complete FCC Form 471 for funding year 2015, to qualify for the simplified process in subsequent funding years. This simplified application process will be available to any applicant, beginning in funding year 2015, as long as: (1) the multi-year contract is five years or less, and (2) to the extent applicable, any changes in the requested services are within the scope of the original FCC Form 470 and multi-year contract. The technology plan requirements for category two services are eliminated. Technology plan requirements were eliminated for category one (then priority one) services in 2010. An applicant is exempt from the requirement to file an FCC Form 470 for an Internet access service if: (a) the service offers bandwidth speeds of at least 100 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps upstream for a pre-discount price of $3,600 or less annually, including any one-time installation and equipment charges, and (b) the service and price are commercially available. Each school or library must receive the eligible service at a cost of less than $3,600 annually and applicants may not average the cost of services across a number of buildings to qualify for this exemption. Applicants must have a signed contract or other legally binding agreement in place prior to submitting their FCC Forms 471 to USAC. This ensures support for those applicants that have negotiated and agreed to contractual terms, but have difficulty obtaining signatures prior to the submission of their FCC Forms 471. Applicants and service providers will be required to file all documents with USAC electronically. USAC will be required to provide all notifications electronically. USAC will phase in this requirement over the next three funding years. Applicants are encouraged to file waiver requests with the FCC seeking E-rate support for establishing direct connections between eligible schools and libraries. Each school district must calculate and use a single district-wide discount rate rather than calculating and using building-by-building discount rates. * Independent charter schools, private schools, and other eligible educational facilities must calculate their discounts separately if not affiliated financially or operationally with a school district. Those independent charter schools, private schools, and other eligible educational facilities that are seeking support for more than one school building should factor all students in facilities under the control of their central administrative agency into the discount calculation. * Consortia applications will continue to use a simple average of all members' discounts to calculate the overall consortium discount, but will now be required to use each member's district-wide discount. Library systems should apply using the discount rate of the school district in which the central outlet or main administrative office to determine within which public school district the library system lies. However, a library system with a majority of branches or outlets in rural areas can qualify for the rural increase even if the school system it uses to calculate its discount does not qualify for a rural increase. All library branches or outlets within a library system will receive the same discount rate. Schools and libraries located in rural areas, as defined by the U.S. Census, will be considered rural for the purposes of the E-rate program. School districts and library systems with a majority of schools or library outlets that are in rural areas can qualify for an increased rural discount rate. USAC will post a tool on its website that will allow schools and libraries to obtain urban/rural status. Schools utilizing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program shall calculate their student eligibility for free or reduced priced lunches by multiplying the percentage of directly certified students by the CEP national multiplier. Schools and school districts should then use the resulting number for that school when calculating the district-wide calculation in the same manner as schools using NSLP data. Schools that use surveys to determine their E-rate discount must calculate their discount using only the surveys they actually collect. Previously, schools using a school-wide income survey could project a percentage of eligibility for the entire school population if they had a 50 percent return rate. An applicant that pays the full cost of the E-rate supported services to a service provider will be able to receive direct reimbursement from USAC beginning in funding year 2016. USAC's existing invoice filing deadline - the latter of 120 days after the last day to receive service or the date of the FCC Form 486 notification letter - will be codified as part of the FCC's rules for the E-rate program. This filing deadline rule also allows applicants to request and automatically receive a single one-time 120-day extension of the invoicing deadline. This filing deadline rule will be effective upon announcement in the Federal Register of approval by the Office of Management and Budget. The document retention period will be extended from five to 10 years after the latter of the last day of the applicable funding year, or the service delivery deadline for the funding request. This revised document retention period rule is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act and will become effective upon announcement in the Federal Register of approval by the Office of Management and Budget. E-rate applicants and service providers must permit auditors, investigators, attorneys, and other appointed personnel to enter their premises to conduct E-rate compliance inspections. USAC will work with the FCC and the Office of Native Affairs and Policy beginning in FY 2014 to develop and provide Tribal-specific E-rate training targeted to Tribal schools and libraries and to create a formal Tribal liaison at USAC to assist with Tribal-specific outreach, training, and assistance. When the Order becomes effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, parties must file appeals of USAC decisions with USAC first before appealing to the FCC. Parties seeking a waiver of the FCC's rules must request the waiver directly from the FCC. = -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries program invests $12 million annually in projects that improve professional library and archive practice with implications far beyond the grantee institutions. The grants help drive innovation and support projects with national impact. This year, IMLS is adding an additional opportunity to apply for FY 2015 National Leadership Grants for Libraries. IMLS will be accepting applications in October and again in February. For the October deadline we are implementing some changes that will allow the agency to address strategic issues identified in a series of IMLS Focus meetings that were held earlier this year. To make it possible for IMLS to provide feedback to potential applicants before they prepare full proposals, we will be accepting brief preliminary proposals on October 13, 2014 and inviting selected applicants to submit full proposals. Invited full proposals will be due on January 15, 2015. Applicants interested in learning more may participate in our webinars on August 20, at 3:00 PM ET, and (repeated) on September 16, at 3:00 PM ET. For more information about the webinars, see the IMLS Webinar webpage. Last spring, agency leadership traveled to New York, San Francisco and Chicago to convene IMLS Focus, a series of nationally webcasted meetings to explore library trends and opportunities. These interactive events spotlighted the importance of strong libraries to benefit all Americans by providing opportunities for lifelong learning, anchors for community engagement, and access to content. Hundreds of library professionals and representatives of library organizations participated in these meetings nationwide, online and in person, for a rich discussion that captured input to help IMLS focus its approach to supporting innovation in the nation?s libraries. The October 13, 2014, deadline for NLG libraries will focus on the three strategic priorities that were explored in these meetings. * National digital platform, which focuses on key needs, gaps, opportunities, and goals to consider in furthering national digital initiatives * Learning spaces in libraries, which focuses on emerging learning models that can deepen community engagement in libraries, particularly through learning labs, makerspaces, and digital commons * STEM learning in libraries, which focuses on learning for all types of users, with an emphasis on models or practices that serve at-risk youth Timeline at a Glance for October Deadline NLG NLG Libraries: October 13, 2014 Deadline Dates NOFO released August 13, 2014 Preliminary proposals due October 13, 2014 Notification of invitations TBD Full proposal due from invited applicants January 15, 2015 Notification of final decisions Not later than March 15, 2015 Project start date May 1, 2015 For the February deadline, we will not require preliminary proposals.

In this curious, wonderfully intelligent novel, Fowler brings to life a most unusual American middle-class family, ordinary in every way but one. Each of the five libraries that comprise the NLA will host book discussions and book-related events. The 2014 Community Reads program begins today and runs through November 18, culminating in an author visit on November 18 at Novi Public Library. Participating libraries are: Lyon Township Public Library, Northville District Library, Novi Public Library, Salem-South Lyon District Library and Wixom Public Library. Fowler?s book is a tale of loving but fallible people whose well-intentioned actions lead to heartbreaking consequences. The madcap plot and fresh diction add humor to a story about experimental psychology, human development, and animal rights. It is worth the trouble to avoid spoilers, and let the author introduce the troubled Cooke family before she springs the jaw-dropping surprise at the heart of the story. Programs include: Humane Animal Education with the Detroit Zoological Society: Dangers of Exotic Animals as Pets on Saturday, September 20 at 2 pm at Salem-South Lyon District Library; Our Closest Relatives: Understanding Primate Behavior and Ecology on Tuesday, October 7 at 6:30 pm at Lyon Township Public Library; Journaling to Reduce Stress on Wednesday, October 29 at 6:30 pm at Wixom Public Library; Healing Vets & Saving Pets on Thursday, October 30 at 7 pm at Northville District Library; Leader Dogs: Helpers, Guides, and Friends on Tuesday, November 11 at 7 pm at Novi Public Library; and Meet the Author: Karen Joy Fowler on Tuesday, November 18 at 7 pm at Novi Public Library. Registration is required for the author visit and may be required for the other events. Contact each library for details.

Author David Charles Stieler has written about a tragic accident that happened to him and his wife, and their determination to survive it. It is an uplifting story. He is a fun and interesting person. There was no charge to have him come, I don't know if he may charge any mileage. You can find him on Facebook.com or call 989-737-4674 Another author that will come at no cost (they usually will bring their books to sell) is Christine Pechacek (pea-ah-cek). She is an author and Legacy coach. She is creator of Share Your Story, Leave Your Legacy, she will do workshops also, she encourages people to share their story to pass down to their kids and grandchildren. She has written two books. She is fun and engaging with the audience. She can be contacted at www.sharestorymemories.com or email at christineauthor9 at gmail.com.

In-Reply-To: <2093228479.3706376.1406905687975.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <31739460.5287928.1408710889099.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Good Morning, MAP statewide year 2 will celebrate its three month anniversary this Sunday, August 24. I am pleased to report that sometime today, likely before noon, Michigan libraries will have checked out two-thirds of the total number of passes in the first three months of MAP year 2, that were checked out in ALL of MAP year 1. Do you think you can make a big push and get the additional one-third prior to the start of school, which marks the end of the summer vacation season? I think you can. In the area where we live there has already been considerable weeping and gnashing of teeth among the younger set, as school has started. But around these parts kids and parents are cut a break (well, the kids anyway) until September 2. That gives us 11 days to get that final one-third. Let's make it happen! Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Congratulations! It is Friday, August 1 and as of this morning, Michigan's public libraries have now circulated exactly half as many MAP passes in the first two months of MAP Year 2 (May 24, 2014 to date) as you did for the entire 12 month period of MAP Year 1 (May 24, 2013 to May 23, 2014). I knew you could do it! Are you up for another challenge? Can you circulate a sufficient number of MAP passes between today and the end of the traditional summer vacation season, date for which we will use September 1, to surpass (or at least tie) last year's total 12 month circulation? Let's try! You have the resources, in the form of your dedicated and motivated staff. Brigette has created the promotional material for said staff to use, available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ And TLN has worked to establish relationships with a wide variety of Michigan cultural partners from stem to stern, from border to border, back and forth, up and down, to say nothing of to and fro. In putting all of this together and working towards our goal of surpassing last year's total MAP circulation by the end of this summer, I am reminded of a phrase from my favorite book from childhood: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." You likely don't need to be reminded as to the title of said book. When we return to work on Tuesday, September 2 following our Labor Day holiday, we hope to be able to supply the corollary to that well-known phrase, in the form of: "I thought I could, I thought I could." I KNOW you can. Thank you for your continued support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The Library of Michigan works with volunteer librarians every three years to revise the measures based on participating libraries' experiences and new trends in library services, programs and technology. It is our goal that QSAC measures will continue to provide direction and support for libraries as they look to both improve their services and justify their services to funders.

Make a difference on West Michigan's Lakeshores as the new Library Director for the Muskegon Area District Library , headquartered in Muskegon (MI) County. The Library's Board of Trustees seeks an innovative and experienced Director to implement an exciting vision for the library and its many constituencies. MADL serves 119,450 residents in 21 municipalities and townships. Governed by an eight-member Board of Trustees, the 10 library locations provide excellent services and programs with 50 staff (30.13 FTEs) and a $3 million annual budget. The Library is anticipating a levy renewal campaign to take place as early as 2015 and has a capital campaign in progress-expansion of the Norton Shores branch to create Storyville -a library project modeled after the innovative Baltimore County program and focusing on early childhood literacy in Muskegon County. MADL shares a catalog, resources and delivery system with other members of the Lakeland Library Cooperative. The Muskegon area is located on the shore of Lake Michigan and is a popular destination with beautiful beaches, parks and lakes. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the hiking and bike trails and other types of outdoor recreation for all seasons. Downtown Muskegon is experiencing resurgence in growth and renewal-including a thriving Farmer's Market, the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts, the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra as well as the well-regarded Muskegon Museum of Art. Muskegon County is also home to the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, which has provided programs in the fine arts for students since 1966. Grand Rapids (MI) is only 30 minutes away and both Chicago and Detroit are only a few hours' drive away. The cost of living is moderate with many lifestyle options-from urban condos to suburban single family homes to rural farms.
