My "Monday-brain" got the best of me. By "ARC," I mean Advance Reader Copy. These lovely pre-publish editions from publishers often go to waste after they're evaluated by librarians and booksellers for purchase. Technically, to my understanding, libraries are not allowed to catalog or sell them. Gifting them, however, is a great answer, and I'm excited that this Boy Scout troop mom would think of this as an option for her boys.

The IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries program invests $12 million annually in projects that improve professional library and archive practice, drive innovation, and have a national impact. This year, IMLS offered two opportunities to apply for FY 2015 National Leadership Grants for Libraries. This NOFO announces the February 2, 2015 deadline and is a call for two-page preliminary proposals. From the proposals, we will select applicants and invite them to submit full proposals in June. Applicants who were not invited to continue from the first round of funding are welcome to submit new preliminary proposals during this round. We encourage applications that address two project categories. They were identified in a series of IMLS Focus meetings held earlier this year: * National digital platform, with support to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital library infrastructure for increased efficiencies, cost-savings, access, and services. Note: the program cannot support the digitization of content. * Learning spaces in libraries, including work that builds institutional capacity, develops STEM learning, engages community, and encourages partnerships to support all types of learning and inquiry, including participatory and hands-on learning in libraries. Please see the NOFO for more information about the types of activities can be funded under the project categories.

We are trying to figure out the best place for them. How do other libraries categorize their DVD collections? Do you go by ratings? Do you go by where the majority of other libraries house theirs? Do you keep your kids collection strictly to cartoons and everything else goes into the Adult collection? Any information would be helpful and appreciated. I am interested in hearing what bigger libraries do, but I would really like to hear from smaller libraries (like us) who do not have tons of space for many separate DVD collections.

The "menu" in our household featured turkey and bronchitis, and not necessarily in that order, either. But we made do nevertheless. You might recall that in our last MAP update from November 21, we made note as to the possibility of BIG news for statewide MAP Year 3. I'm happy to report that discussions regarding that are ongoing, and that we hope to be able to share additional details very soon. As of today you have circulated 92.5% of last year's total number of passes. That's great work! Do you think we can get to 100% of last year's total by December 31? I think you can. The holiday school break time is right around the corner, and families are going to be looking for activities during this time. How about a day out at http://www.mi-sci.org/ or http://sloanlongway.org/Sloan-Museum or http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/ or http://www.lsa.umich.edu/ummnh/ Thanks to Brigette's hard work, our MAP Facebook page has nearly 300 likes https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP/510259192344845 and our Twitter account has almost 100 followers https://twitter.com/MapPass2014 Finally, in addition to the above I am currently engaged in a dialogue to "hook" a new MAP venue, beginning in January, 2015. Until and unless they formally sign on with MAP, and I'm pretty sure they will, I'll hold off revealing the identity of this potential new cultural partner. I will say that they would represent a great "catch" for MAP, and that I hope they will "sea" fit to join us. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

We hope to have your teen and tween patrons participate! >>>>>>>>>> The Library of Michigan is announcing the 2015 Letters about Literature program. We are the Michigan host for this 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 posted an explanatory letter and a sample entry form at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices/. The 2015 letters will be due in two waves. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 15, 2014 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 15, 2015. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2015. You can find more information about the national program at www.read.gov/letters/ and the Michigan program at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices. Please find the 2015 letter and entry form at the direct links below.

Here is the most recent NYT article I've seen: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/09/business/media/as-more-documents-appear-sony-seeks-to-calm-nervous-employees.html I am sending this post on account Library Ideas, LLC is a library vendor for Freegal Music http://www.freegalmusic.com/ and Freegal Movies http://freegalmovies.com/index Freegal Music offers the entire Sony Music Entertainment (SME) catalog to libraries. Freegal Movies does not make the Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) catalog available to libraries. Earlier today I reached out to the president of Library Ideas, LLC, a person whom I've known for a long time, to ask for his thoughts regarding this matter. He noted as to how Freegal does not have any Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) offerings in its library catalog, and that SPE is a separate company (although also a subsidiary of Sony) from SME. He also said that Library Ideas, LLC does not share any information with SME other than the total number of checkouts, so that even if there had been a data breach of SME there really wouldn't be any data to breach. Finally, as would be the case with most any company president, he would not put his thoughts into writing without attorney review, so what I am sharing here is a transcript of our conversation. I have not contacted other vendors that may (or may not) be involved in the distribution of SPE and/or SME content to libraries.

This order takes additional steps to ensure high-speed broadband connectivity to schools and libraries, particularly schools and libraries in rural areas. The order provides: * Additional flexibility for schools and libraries seeking to purchase affordable, high-speed broadband connections. Specifically to provide applicants more options to pay for non-recurring construction costs. It suspends the multiyear amortization policy and allows applicants to pay the non-discount portion of non-recurring construction costs over multiple years. * Beginning in funding year 2016, it also equalizes program rules for dark fiber and allows e-rate applicants to self-construct high-speed broad band facilities when self-construction is the most cost-effective option, with appropriate safeguards consistent with rules already applicable to the commission's healthcare connect fund. * It also provides an additional discount of up to 10% to match state funding for self-construction charges for last mile facilities with special consideration to schools and libraries, * Requires recipients of high-cost funding to offer high-speed broadband to schools and libraries located in the geographic area where the provider receives high-cost support at rates reasonably comparable to similar services in urban areas. Next, the order addresses the e-rate program's ongoing funding needs. * It increases the predictability of funding for connectivity within schools and libraries by expanding the five-year budget approach for category two internal connections through funding year 2019. * The order increases the e-rate funding cap by $1.5 billion to $3.9 billion, plus annual inflationary changes. * The order also directs USAC to establish a performance management system to assess the effectiveness of the program's administration. * Finally, the order on reconsideration adopts a more inclusive definition of rural so that a school or library located in an area with a population of less than 25,000 will be considered rural to ensure that additional funding is targeted to areas where e-indicate services are more costly. The order dismisses petitions seeking reconsideration of the commission's: * 10-year document retention rule * The immediate phase-out of support for voice components * The decision not to allow multi-year or conditional commitments. * It further clarifies the cost effectiveness test for individual data plans and the cost allocation requirements for circuits carrying VoIP services.

Message-ID: <045f01d01943$6c686ab0$45394010$@gossagesager.com> Head Librarian-Worcester (MA) Public Library Your open door to opportunity-the Worcester Public Library Board of Directors seeks an experienced visionary who can provide strong leadership throughout the Library and the Community. The successful candidate will build strong partnerships in the Community and lead the staff and Board of Directors toward a well-defined vision for the Library. The Library, with a $5 million annual budget and a dedicated staff (103 FTEs), provides services and programs through the Main Library, which houses the Talking Book Library, two community branches and two mobile Libraries. Additionally, the Library is a partner in an innovative initiative known as One City One Library , in which the city, the Library, the Community and the school system in Worcester have collaborated to create additional library spaces within three public school buildings. These locations serve the schools during the day and are open to the public after school and on Saturdays. There are plans to add more locations in additional school buildings in the near future. The City government of Worcester has a strong vision for creating a vibrant downtown and sees the Library as an integral part of that vision. Worcester , located in Central Massachusetts, is the second largest city in New England with a population of 181,000 residents and is known as the "heart of the Commonwealth." Worcester is known as a city of firsts: many items and ideas were first discovered or created in Worcester, including the monkey wrench, the smiley face, the pill, the patent for the first liquid fuel rocket that led to modern rocketry, and the first national Women's Rights Convention. The city is home to ten different higher educational institutions including Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts brings many Broadway shows and nationally known performers to the area. The American Antiquarian Society has been located in Worcester since 1812 and has the foremost collection of early American history. The Worcester Art Museum is known for the depth and breadth of its collection. Hockey fans will appreciate that the city is home to the American Hockey League team known as the Worcester Sharks. In addition to everything available in Worcester, the city is ideally located-downtown Boston is less than an hour's drive and Providence, RI and New York City, NY are within easy driving distance. The recently refurbished Union Station serves as a hub for commuter traffic, providing rail and bus options. For additional information, visit Worcester Links . Responsibilities. The Head Librarian is responsible for overall leadership and direction for the Library and planning, organizing, directing and coordinating all activities of the Worcester Public Library.

We invite you to share your best practices and innovative approaches with the Families and Work Institute (FWI) by completing their brief survey by December 22. This input will contribute to the development of a national report on the roles that libraries and museums play in informing and supporting children, families, and the professionals who work with them. For the past 14 years, Mind in the Making, a program of FWI, has been sharing research on what we can do to help children thrive now and in the future. They have been calling attention to the importance of early brain development and promoting Executive Function skills, which study after study reveals have been a critical missing piece in efforts to promote school readiness and school, work and life success. This new project of FWI will engage libraries and museums as key partners in the Mind in the Making work.

Librarians know how essential the E-rate program has been and will be to meeting their communities' needs for high-speed broadband internet access and online services, critical in the 21st century. That's why ALA fought hard to create the program and, for the past 18 months, to encourage the Federal Communications Commission to dramatically increase the program's funding and streamline the application procedures. Libraries did it! Starting in 2015, an additional $1.5 billion will be available to libraries across the country, to be used to further narrow and ultimately close the digital divide...and those funds will be easier to apply for. No legislation from Congress is needed for the FCC's E-rate order to go into effect. In an era of tight budgets, however, Congress has the means to undermine the momentum of the order. Since the E-rate program hasn't been before Congress in most of a decade, and the incoming Congress has over 70 new Members (including 13 Senators), now is a great time to remind and/or educate both of your Senators and your Representative about just how vital E-rate funding is to your local library and community. Returning and new Members of Congress are home for the holidays, but their local offices are open for business and always eager to hear from local constituents like you! Please, take 5 minutes this month to call your Representative and both of your Senators' offices. Simply tell the staffer who answers the phone that you'd like their boss to 'support the E-rate program" because it's fundamental to supporting 21st century library services. Briefly explain one reason that it is important for the education, employment and/or civil engagment of your patrons and community - or better yet, invite your Members to visit the library and see for themselves how E-rate benefits the community every day. It's as easy as that. Call Congress Today!

Great work, and I hope to be able to report when we all return to our places (with bright smiling faces, of course) on January 5 that we have reached or exceeded 100% of last year's total MAP checkouts, a bit more than seven months into the program. Let's make it happen! We are still working on the proposed MAP expansion that we've noted, that would take MAP to the next level for 2015. As proposed this would increase the number of participating MAP venues from the current 100+, to over 300. Big, big stuff. Also, we are working closely with the director of one venue, and the marketing manager of another venue, both of which will be opening in 2015, to get them into MAP. We've had multiple, positive conversations with the two, and I can tell you that both will be extremely popular destinations with families. We will continue to do our best to get both of these venues into the MAP program in 2015. Finally, we are pleased to be able to announce the addition of an enhancement to the MAP software, beginning with MAP Year 3 in May, 2015 that has not been available previously. This will not be a publicly visible enhancement, but librarians have been asking for this upgrade since the beginning of statewide MAP. Up until now we have been able to report the total number of checkouts, the percentages compared to the previous year (as per the subject line of this message), etc. But we've either not been able to report individual library checkouts for MAP or, as we've done for some TLN libraries, we've only been able to obtain and report checkouts by going through a very arduous process in order to obtain said stats. We are thus very happy to be able to report that beginning with MAP Year 3, we will be able to report individual library checkout stats for MAP! I don't yet know what format these reports will take, ie we may report same through cooperative directors, quarterly, or via some other method. Tbd, as they say. Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Happy holidays to you and yours.

This new leader will be a key Library partner working with City agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the Hartford Public Schools setting the vision for the future for Hartford?s children and young adults. The successful candidate will be customer-focused, forward-thinking, and collaborative with both internal and external customers. The Chief Youth & Family Services Officer will also be knowledgeable about current youth and family issues, will understand cutting edge youth services and technology trends, be committed to literacy for all ages, and facilitate the fusion of traditional and nontraditional library services for youth and families.

Its centerpiece is the GreenWalk, a one mile chain of parks and plazas connecting the Capitol to the Connecticut River waterfront.

If funds are an issue, we have posted up a sign asking for these types of materials, and raided our personal toy bins. We post up a couple signs saying that these materials are available for use and to ask at the desk for the bin...no card required. We also post signs that say, "Clean up and get a sticker at the desk". It's amazing how much less messy the children's play area became after the sticker "bribe". And sticker assortments come from Oriental Trading for pennies or we also use the ones that come tucked into the occasional purchased Disney or movie themed kids books and magazines. We also had our friends give us money to print up some, "I visited the library today" stickers with a pic of our mascot. What a great way to advertise your services to others who might not usually visit your facility. If snacking is an issue, do you have an area that is or could be set aside for food and drinks? We actually allow (and provide) snacks and covered drinks in our branches. That being said, we also purchased a dust buster for unfortunate occurrences. You might find your regular patrons appreciate this as well. How encouraging for your library that you can provide this opportunity for struggling families and brighten their day.

Anytime you are writing policy you have to be very careful about targeting specific people. The only differentiations I can think of that we have (and are commonly made) is children vs adults and non-profit vs for-profit entities. I can't see how are they really different from everyone else other or our expectations of them would be any different.

In addition she oversaw a successful 2012 transition to RFID technology offering improved materials handling and collection control district wide as well as a redesigned website featuring an integrated TADL catalog search. These service enhancements were creative and sustainable solutions to address revenue challenges, while continuing to improve the high quality of services offered to TADL patrons and the community at large. ?Metta's vision, ideas, and leadership were essential to the significant progress TADL has made during her tenure," said Tom Kachadurian, president of the TADL Board of Trustees.

Prior to joining TADL in 2009, Lansdale served multiple years as director of the Royal Oak Public Library and the Chelsea District Library. She is a graduate of the School of Library Science from the University of Michigan.

I am also planning to forward a copy of this message to said potential partners. I can tell you that they will be very pleased to hear that the MAP program has achieved such phenomenal growth in Year 2, and that librarians statewide from Calumet to Carleton, from Marquette to Monroe, and from Sault Ste. Marie to South Haven, are fully on board with their support for the MAP program.
