This includes one round-trip ferry ticket on Shepler's Ferry, 5 meals and conference materials. Our special lodging rate at the Grand Hotel is $129 per room and includes breakfast. Please see the hotel reservation form for complete details on lodging. Some tips: 1. Please check the Shepler's Ferry Schedule found at the end of the Attendee Information packet BEFORE you make your travel plans and hotel reservations. Remember we are on the island in the pre-season and schedules are limited. Check that you will be able to get to the island before making your hotel reservation or you may be subject to a processing fee if dates change. 2. You will receive a link to a PDF document online that can be printed out and used to make your hotel reservation directly with the Grand Hotel. You will only get the link to the hotel reservation form in your confirmation email and confirmation screen upon registration. Please check for this link. You may also call or email us for the form if you have already registered for the event. The hotel reservation form is hidden and NOT linked from the website. This rate is only available to registered attendees of our event. 3. Everyone must check that they either want a meal or don't want a meal. If you are not planning to join us for all meals then check no for the meals you will miss. This helps provide us an accurate account for catering and helps our budget. If you have dietary restrictions you have the opportunity to list them during the registration process. 4. There are optional island carriage tours and a trolley tour available during the conference. Full details and information on how to order tickets is provided in the Attendee Information Packet. 5. A preliminary program showing program titles, dates and times is available on the website.

Please use the information provided directly to you as a presenter to make arrangements. 8. If you have a guest with you that is not attending the event and is not a member of the Michigan library community we can provide a special meal order form so they may join the group for meals.

Libraries should contact Lindsey Hoeksema for re-order requests. Her e-mail address is HoeksemaL at michigan.gov.

State Superintendent Mike Flanagan says Digital Learning Day 2014 is a reminder that digital delivery of classroom content helps improve learning and streamline instruction, and the Michigan eLibrary is a rich resource for teachers and learning online. ?Michigan is once again participating in Digital Learning Day by providing high quality resources and encouraging schools to incorporate digital delivery into their instruction,? Flanagan said. ?When schools offer a blended learning environment that relies less and less on outmoded practices and resources, everyone benefits, especially our kids. ?Michigan was the first state to require students to have an online learning experience before graduation. Every day should be a digital learning day.? The Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Michigan Association of Computer Users in Learning (MACUL), and Regional Educational Media Center Association of Michigan (REMCAM) are teaming to spread the word on digital delivery?s importance in the modern classroom and declare 2014 the Year of the Digital Learner. Year of the Digital Learner 2014 events are available at: http://www.macul.org/otherevents/year-of-the-digital-learner/. State Librarian Nancy Robertson said one of the state?s main digital resources is the Michigan eLibrary (MeL), http://mel.org, a service of the Library of Michigan (LOM). MeL has long served Michigan teachers, students, parents and schools. ?In 2013, new content was added to the already robust line-up of MeL?s eResources that Pre K-12 educators use in their classrooms,? Robertson said. ?Early literacy resources such as eBooks and interactives are available to engage and stimulate early learners.? Meanwhile, she said, middle and high school teachers and their students will find reliable online resources such as full-text information from magazines, journals and news, opposing viewpoints with supporting content, country and cultures of the world, practice tests for skills building in core subject areas plus practice for college entrance exams, and more. Robertson said MeL also has a special resource area just for teachers: The Michigan Online Resources for Educators (M.O.R.E.), http://more.mel.org. Teachers can find thousands of curricular-based materials such as lesson plans, interactives, videos, assessments and more that are aligned to state and national standards (CCSS). To assist Michigan schools with online course delivery, the REMC Association of Michigan provides more than 80 grade three online learning-through-adult lessons, units, and courses through the REMC Michigan Learns Online Moodle Hub. Those interested can search for courses at Michigan Learns Online (www.milearnsonline.org). The online learning material can be reviewed and downloaded to a local district?s Moodle site. In addition to the online learning courses, Michigan Learns Online (MLO) houses support materials for parents, students, and educators that will help them successfully participate in an online learning environment. Schools can contact their REMC/RESA or ISD Technology Director to find out more about the REMC MLO Moodle Hub by going to www.remc.org to find contact information. For more information on the Year of the Digital Learner, contact Barb Fardell at the MDE (fardellb at michigan.gov). For more information on MeL, contact Deb Biggs Thomas (BiggsThomasD at michigan.gov).

We assume attendees may want to bring a guest along since we are in a historic location this year and have made plans to accommodate these requests. This event is made possible through a number of funders and is subsidized by federal LSTA dollars and funds from the Library of Michigan Foundation's Loleta Fyan Endowment. We would not be able to offer such an event, provide the meals, conference materials and a round-trip ferry ticket to our attendees all without this generous support to offset the costs of the conference. For that reason we ask that you use other methods than our general registration to accommodate guests you may bring with you. To accommodate guests of conference attendees we have the following available: 1. Your guest(s) may join us for the conference meals by completing a special form to pre-order meals from the hotel. Payment for non-attendee meals will be added to the attendee's hotel room bill. Cost for attendee guest meals are $19 for lunch and $30 for dinner. Please make these arrangements by March 31. Breakfast meals at the hotel are included with your conference hotel lodging costs. (Attached is the guest meal order form.) 2. Guests can be provided a name badge to allow them to enjoy free entrances to Fort Mackinac and the Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum courtesy of Mackinac Island Historic Parks for the duration of the conference. 3. Guests of attendees are welcome to participate in the Optional Tours provided by Mackinac Island Carriage Tours and the Mackinaw Trolley Company. Details on ordering tickets are in the Attendee Information Packet. We hope that these opportunities allow your guests to enjoy their time with you on the island. Additional details on all of these options are available in the Attendee Information Packet located on our website: http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668-142226--,00.html Please let us know if you have any questions.

In the ideal world, everyone coming out of library school would have a good understand of some of the topics covered, even if it was just to be able to be part of a conversation about evaluating and integrating the ever-expanding amount of digital content into your library's services. But I realize that most LIS students don't have infinite amounts of time and money for such courses. The certification might help someone looking to have their resume stand out from other recent LIS grads. But it also looks more technical than I think most librarians would need for their day-to-day work (sorry Wayne State!) If you're interested in pursuing librarian positions that will have a heavy emphasis on web site design or a similar technology angle, it may be worth your time/money. Even so, if I was asked to evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for a position like that, I would place more emphasis on specific knowledge (what Content Management Systems do you know, what scripting languages have you worked with) and real-world experience (show me web sites you've created, maintained, etc.) over a line in your resume showing that you've taken those courses. You would need to take what you learned from those courses and turn them into more concrete examples of how you've applied this knowledge outside of the classroom setting. If you're mostly interested in beefing up the resume but don't plan on taking it beyond that, I don't think it would be worth the time and money. I would be interested in hearing what the folks who actually do the hiring of librarians think is the value of pursuing that kind of certification.

I'm also a current online student at Wayne State University--maybe I'll be in the same class as Michelle! I already have my Master's degree in library science, and I decided to get a Specialist Certificate where I can choose my own field(s) of study. I'm concentrating on youth/young adult librarianship as well as digital librarianship in order to expand my horizons and my chances of getting hired. I'm currently taking a Children's literature class, and I've taken classes in information professions and information technology as well as information behavior. I'll be taking more classes that will teach digital libraries as well as information science. I'm thinking of taking classes in metadata, web design, advanced reference, human-computer interaction as well as other children's lit and young adult classes. But any suggestions/recommendations will be most welcome! I did work for six months as an adult reference librarian, but I'm now more interested in youth and young adult, as well as e-books and digital since that is where librarianship is heading to. Very glad that Michelle asked this question because I'm in the same boat as she is, so to speak.

No actual staff members viewed this themselves. We discussed it with the patron and he chose to leave. I do have the ability to review the sites he accessed so I am inquiring as to whether or not library staff have an obligation to report the viewing of child pornography to the police? Or if not the patron should the sites be reported to any agency? Hope someone can give me some insights. Kate Scheid, MLIS Library Director Buchanan District Library 128 E.

I did want to clarify that I wanted to understand if I needed to report suspected viewing of child pornography or if there was any responsibility on me to prove before reporting that it was in fact child pornography. As it is illegal if I or my staff had witnessed it we would have reported it immediately. And if an adult patron felt they had viewed such material I would have encouraged them to report it as well. As the only report I have thus far is from two children who couldn't say for sure what they saw I was confused about my immediate responsibility. Looks like I will be contacting my lawyer Monday morning for further advice. Wish this stuff didn't happen at the end of the day Friday when you can't deal with it effectively.

The migration to content management systems (and before that, software that relied on web page templates) has largely eliminated the need for the average content contributor to be able to hand code HTML. But the content editing portion of those systems is just a piece of the overall system and if you're the person tasked with managing the web site, often times, you'll need to poke around under the hood to tweak settings, code, etc. to get it to do exactly what you (or your staff) want it to do. That's where an understanding of the various scripting languages can make you an invaluable part of the technology team (especially if it's a team of 1!) More adventurous individuals go beyond tweaking and actually write their own code or assist others in writing the code to create modules/plug-ins/etc. that are customized to meet a particular need for a library or a community. You'll often find an off-the-shelf solution that's pretty close but needs some adjustment to meet the needs of your library. That's where an understanding of the underlying coding can allow you to make changes without breaking it. Even if you don't do that kind of work in your day job, there are opportunities to contribute in various ways to projects inside and outside the library community if you want to further develop those skills.

You are correct in your assessment about many library websites. Keep in mind the real challenge comes when integrating third party systems into the library environment for college/university libraries. Third party systems like digital commons (repositories), mobile platforms, link resolvers, etc. all require unique customization. It is important to integrate these third party platforms in such a way as to let users knows that they are at your site, even if it's happens to be a a third party platform. Library branding along with seamless presentation of library services and resources are very important. Granted for the most part it is difficult to seamlessly integrate third party vendors within the library environment but it can be done. So in some cases having staff members with html, css, php, java script and other scripting skills allows the library to create this seamless environment. So long way around, I think it is good skills to have.

I completely agree with all the comments so far about even if your library employer uses a Content Management System, there is still a lot to know to be able to bend it to your will and to serve patrons best by integrating the 1,001 pieces of a modern library's website and 'fixing' the annoying user interface problems that our vendors can't ever seem to get around to or even just using technology to work smarter. Even if you never directly get your hands dirty in code in your library job, knowing enough about what is possible and the level of effort required to achieve something in a web-based interface will serve you and your future employer well in that you can talk intelligently with tech support, you can write actionable enhancement requests, you can effectively write project requirements and manage work with a freelance developer, you can advocate for patrons with technical people, you can understand more about how web sites really work, and therefore be a better user of web sites and a better teacher, you can raise your hand to actually help instead of just complain about a bad interface, you can advocate for sufficient resources (time and money) to get things right in a web project b/c you know how much work is involved. It's like understanding cataloging. Does a public service librarian need to know every detail of cataloging procedure? No. Is she a better searcher and librarian if she knows her way around a MARC record? Yes. Another way to think about it is, are you a consumer or a maker? Makers are smarter consumers. I think smart library hiring managers will try to find out what applicants know in this regard. A credential is a clue. Experience and a portfolio is better. If I were considering an application for a youth librarian, and one had demonstrated curiosity and a willingness to engage in the complexity of technology of some sort and one had not, of course I'd prefer the curious one. But, then again, I don't get to hire youth librarians. Sheryl Cormicle Knox Technology Director BA in English, MLIS Self-taught in everything else From: michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org] On Behalf Of Mutch, Andrew Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 11:07 AM To: Michelle Sawicki Cc: michlib-l at lists.mcls.org Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Library Student Michelle S., If you're the person responsible for designing or managing the web site, you'll need those coding skills. The migration to content management systems (and before that, software that relied on web page templates) has largely eliminated the need for the average content contributor to be able to hand code HTML. But the content editing portion of those systems is just a piece of the overall system and if you're the person tasked with managing the web site, often times, you'll need to poke around under the hood to tweak settings, code, etc. to get it to do exactly what you (or your staff) want it to do. That's where an understanding of the various scripting languages can make you an invaluable part of the technology team (especially if it's a team of 1!) More adventurous individuals go beyond tweaking and actually write their own code or assist others in writing the code to create modules/plug-ins/etc. that are customized to meet a particular need for a library or a community. You'll often find an off-the-shelf solution that's pretty close but needs some adjustment to meet the needs of your library. That's where an understanding of the underlying coding can allow you to make changes without breaking it. Even if you don't do that kind of work in your day job, there are opportunities to contribute in various ways to projects inside and outside the library community if you want to further develop those skills.

When I am done I will have a basic understanding of html, css, php, java script and some other scripting languages. I think it is fabulous to obtain these skills, but I am not sure how practical they will be in my upcoming positions. What Wayne State focuses on is the actual coding itself. If I were to create a library website by hand/scratch, this would be an invaluable skill. However, every library I have worked at has used an editor to create their website. There really isn't a need to keep reinventing the wheel. So I am guessing I will ultimately be using an editor too some day, if web design is a part of my future job at all. I am glad I learned scripting languages though...but how relevant will it be for my job and how long will the skills I have learned remain relevant? I don't know...

My questions are: do you have certificates with your degree, do you or did you have much experience before-hand, and does your library look at certificates OR experience more when it comes to hiring? I am an online student at Wayne State University. The two certificates I was planning on getting are {Library Services to Children and Adults, Public} and {Information Management for Librarians-Web Design and Development}. Each certificate is basically (one semester) 4 months of effort and $4,400- is it worth it? I would love to be a Teen Librarian in a public library with some web elements. If you wouldn't mind adding your position/Title with your comments, please do. Any recommendations would be very helpful.

Here are the four methodologies which seem most prevalent (with variations). ?Method 1 (Put a tally sheet on the current issue and ask patrons to self tally) ?Every few years or so we do a use survey by attaching with removable tape a fairly large piece of paper on the cover of the current issue, that says something like - "we are glad you enjoy reading this magazine. Please let us know by making a hash mark on this tally sheet." We keep a cup of pencils in the room during the survey time. We put it on a new issue and leave it until the next issue comes in. We generally do the survey for about 3 weeks to a month. The weeklies would get a new paper with each issue. Method 2 (Ask patrons to place all used mags in a basket, then checkin or tally) I've worked in libraries that have baskets on the tables near magazine and newspaper shelving. There are signs indicating that all magazines should be placed there rather than back on the shelf. Every couple hours, a staff member empties the baskets and scans these as "used" in the automated system or just makes a tally mark under the magazine's name on a piece of paper to keep track of what is being used. That way the magazines don't stay in the baskets too long and they can be reshelved regularly. You could set carts or baskets out and ask people to return the magazines there, instead of to the shelf when they're done reading. Similar to what academic libraries to record usage statistics.? Does your circ system have any in-house use monitoring function? We use Sirsi/Workflows which has a feature called 'Mark Item Used.' We use this in general just to count the number of items pulled off shelves, not checked out but in need of reshelving each month. It is a way of tracking use without artificially inflating the circulation statistics. The reporting software does allow track this by material type as well. ? Method 3 (Pick up unshelved items and check them out to a dummy account) We have a user account set up as 'inhouse'. Any items left out on tables, placed at the ends of shelves, etc are checked out to 'inhouse', discharged, and sorted to shelve. Each inhouse check out shows up in our system as a checkout. This method doesn't differentiate between regular checkouts and inhouse, but it is something.? ? ?Method 4 (Survey patrons) Every few years we conduct a simple survey by making forms available to patrons in the magazine area and online.

The deadline is April 15th. ............ Applications are currently being accepted for cycle two of the Citizens-Save-Libraries grants from United for Libraries, made possible by a grant from the Neal-Schuman Foundation. The 10 libraries that are selected will receive two days of onsite consultation by advocacy experts, who will help friends of the library groups, library directors and trustees develop individual blueprints for advocacy campaigns to restore, increase or save threatened library budgets. Among the criteria to apply is a willingness to "pay it forward" by sharing what is learned with others in their states through presentations at local conferences, articles written for the state library association journal and a willingness to answer questions and support other advocacy campaigns via digital media and Skype. The first 10 libraries were selected in 2013. As part of the grant, a Citizens-Save-Libraries Power Guide that lays out a step-by-step blueprint for libraries to follow in generating advocacy campaigns is available to all libraries at no cost. The Power Guide is available at www.ala.org/united/powerguide. For more information and to apply for the grants, visit www.ala.org/united/grants_awards/neal-schuman.

Let me preempt my response by saying my questions/suggestions are mostly preventative measures. First, the questions. What type of item limit do you have in place right now? For example, we offer unlimited book check-outs, but only 10 total DVDs (including up to 2 Blu-rays) and one video game at a time, per card. Those were our high-demand, kind of "in danger of being pawned" items. Also, at what amount of fines do you stop your patrons from being able to check-out any more items? For example, we stop our patrons at a total fine/fee of $5.00. However, if they pay it down below that limit (even $4.99), they are free to check-out more items. However, we only charge $0.10/day per item in overdue fines, regardless of format, with a per item cap of $3.00. We find that with our community, higher fines discouraged late returns because the totals were too overwhelming. Side note: our items go to "Billed" status at 30 days. If they're returned in good condition, we check them in and they revert to "overdue." It may be that if you don't have these policies in place, or if your item limit or fine limit is higher, it may be time to change them, very publicly and openly, with a strong patron education element. Big signs that say something to the effect of: "Due to a significant rise in items not being returned, we are changing our circulation policy in the following ways:.... We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but feel that this new policy is in keeping with our desire to be good stewards of your tax dollars." My last suggestions is that during the month of December, we offer a "Food for Fines" program. During the entire month, we accept shelf-stable canned/boxed/bottled items in lieu of payment on fines at 1 item per fine line item (could be anything from $0.10 to $3.00). All the food is donated to the local food pantry, which is great publicity for us and helps the community as a whole. We see a big rise in patrons bringing back overdue/billed items along with food items, hoping to return them and pay them off at the same time. Hope this helps. Good luck!

The theme would be "The library of the future." The intended audience is 4-6 grade, 7-8 grade, and 9-12- with finalists in each grade level. We'd like to start the contest over spring break and wrap up over national library week. I guess my questions for those of you that have tried anything like this are: 1) what criteria did you use to judge entries? 2) how did you promote the contest? Any general advice or tips you have are welcome.

LearningExpress Library 3.0 in MeL Message-ID: Hello All--awhile back, probably before the holidays, I have you a heads-up about LearningExpress Library (LEL) 3.0 coming up in MeL. We have just today, made the switch to LearningExpress Library 3.0 via MeL.org. When you click on any of the LEL links in MeL you will be taken to a "splash page" where you can then click the "Register" button and be taken to 3.0. We are, however, continuing to provide access to LEL 2.0, or the version we've had in MeL, until the end of June 2014. In the lower right hand of the new splash page you will notice a link to LEL 2.0; it says: "Click here...."; should you do that you will be taken to the version we've been providing these many years via MeL. We are running LEL 2.0 concurrently with 3.0 so 2.0 users can finish up their work as logins *do not* carry over from the current version to the new version. LEL 3.0 is fully browse-able, which is to say that you can view all the content, but won't be prompted for a login until the user wants to take a practice test, course, or download an eBook. LEL users who want to switch over to 3.0--especially those taking GED prep--will need to create new accounts. LEL 2.0 no longer includes prep/practice for the GED which changed last month; it is **only** available in LEL 3.0. Stay tuned for more information about LearningExpress Library 3.0 which has a great new "look and feel" and additional functionality! If you have any questions about access from your library, please send an email to our MeL Tech Support Team at: meldatabaseshelp at mcls.org Kind regards, Deb Deb Biggs Thomas Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan --------------------------- 517-373-4466 biggsthomasd at michigan.gov http://mel.org http://facebook.com/mel.org From kcorrado at grpl.org Fri Feb 14 09:39:49 2014 From: kcorrado at grpl.org (Kristen Krueger-Corrado) Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2014 09:39:49 -0500 Subject: [Michlib-l] Grand Rapids Public Library's 2013 Annual Report Message-ID: <52FE2AB5.2010408@grpl.org> On Valentine's Day, just spreading a little library love: http://bit.ly/1dOHLkB -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jewelry stores offer engagement, wedding and other rings to couples of all ages. In February 2013, these stores sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. Expressing one's love to another is a celebrated custom on Valentine's Day. Sweethearts and family members present gifts to one another, such as cards, candy, flowers and other symbols of affection. Opinions differ as to who was the original Valentine, but the most popular theory is that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius I declared February 14 as Valentine Day. Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for selling the first mass-produced valentine cards in the 1840s. The spirit continues today with even young children exchanging valentine's cards with their fellow classmates. ________________________________ [http://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USCENSUSFD/2014/02/261839/279599/i-do-pic_original_crop.jpg] 29.0 and 26.6 years Median age at first marriage in 2013 for men and women, respectively. 2.1 million The provisional number of marriages that took place in the United States in 2011.

In the last twenty years, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has recognized 132 institutions for remarkable community programming and resources. ?We are delighted to celebrate this milestone and salute our previous National Medal-winning museums and libraries,? said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. ?In the last twenty years, we have seen institutions adapt and innovate to the shifting needs of their communities, helping us to create a nation of learners. We are proud of the role we have been able to play in recognizing and aiding these organizations? service to the public.? The goal of the National Medal Program is to support exceptional institutions whose commitment to their community goes beyond what one expects of a museum or library. To mark this twenty-year milestone, IMLS will spotlight previous winning institutions through a special Share Your Story Facebook campaign.

(Or at least not let the parent with fines be the one who signs for the card.) We know that adult patrons who have fines on their cards quickly figure out the way around this is to get a card for their child and check out materials for themselves (the parent) on this fresh, new no-fines card. To clarify, we aren't talking about not letting a child check-out because the parent has fines, this would only resolve the one-time problem of a child getting a card when the signing "responsible" parent/guardian has fines. On the one hand, it feels wrong to deny a card to a child because his parent/guardian is irresponsible. On the other hand, allowing someone we *know* to be irresponsible sign as the "responsible" person seems foolish. Obviously, figuring out to what extent this is a problem is difficult. We think it happens once a month or so, but we couldn't really put a quantity to it - and certainly not a dollar amount. Does anyone else do this? Any suggestions?

Join this webinar from TechSoup to learn how small and rural libraries are bringing creation spaces to their communities. Two small libraries will share how they have integrated digital media and makerspace technology in their library, including success, challenges, and lessons learned. Digital Media Labs & Makerspaces in Small & Rural Libraries Webinar (free) Wednesday, February 26, 2014 2:00-3:00 Eastern Register: https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=iah3umtogqlz Also, if you are planning to attend the upcoming Small and Rural Libraries Conference we hope you will consider attending our session on Wednesday, April 30 at 1:45pm, "Makerspaces in Rural Libraries". Steve Teeri, experienced makerspace creator, will provide information on creating cost-effective makerspace programs in a small and rural library. Steve will also be exhibiting in the vendor area during the conference to share ideas and show materials that libraries can use to create maker programs for their communities. Remember, makerspaces are really about hands-on experiences and don't have to include high cost items. It's just about making things!

Attend live or view the archive after the event for more information. Title: Writing a Social Media Policy for Your Library Date: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 Start Time: 3PM Eastern * Does your library have a social media policy? Chances are, it doesn't...but it almost certainly should. Learn why you need one, and what points are essential. Discover how writing this kind of policy can be completely different than writing any other kind for a library, and what you might need in a policy for staff versus what you might need to spell out for patrons. This webinar will help you to understand some current best practices that you can use to guide you through the process of drafting your own social media policy for your library. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: * Be able to identify at least three reasons for which your library should have a social media policy * Be able to identify at least five points that should be covered in a social media policy for library employees * Understand how your library's current social media policy may be breaking the law * Be familiar with at least one key difference in purpose for a policy for patrons, as opposed to employees This webinar will be of interest to Library Administrative staff, HR staff, and those working with social media issues. For more information and to participate in the April 2, 2014 webinar, go to https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=387 . Webinars are free of charge, register using the links above.

Keith Gamble Keith Gamble is a saxophonist and educator from Detroit. He came with a pianist, a bass player, and a drummer and played a jazz concert for us last year. He and his fellow musicians are highly talented. We did a straight-up concert, but I could see them playing a Friends' fundraiser or gala as well. He often plays for public libraries, and he is a delight to work with. If you're interested, just contact him for his rates. You can reach him at keithgamblemusic at comcast.net or keithgamblemusic.com. 2. The Gone With the Wind Answer Lady Kathleen Marcaccio does a fun program on all aspects of Gone With the Wind. She covers Margaret Mitchell, the writing of the book, the making of the film, and a lot of behind-the-scenes information. She is extremely well informed, and she is actually in contact with a few of the surviving actors from the film. She brings a nice selection of her GWTW memorabilia along with her to her events. We had a solid attendance, and the audience members were enthusiastic about the event. This program appeals not just to GWTW fans, but also Civil War buffs and classic movie geeks. When we booked her, her fee was $125. I don't know if that has changed. You can reach her at dkosh at msn.com. Happy programming! Carli Carli Saffert Asst.

However, we do want to encourage library use and?realize that life happens. If the person is willing to set up a payment schedule, we allow them and their child to borrow 2 items at a time as long as they?honor?their agreement.? They decide the frequency and amount. We have a form for the patron to?sign. Currently, we have?several situations like this. One is paying $5 per week, another $1.?It will take months, but at least they are trying. We have had?more positive results than negative. I did?not inform the patrons of this but after the half-way?mark has been reached, I will consider?forgiving the remaining overdue fine as long as all material replacement costs have been paid.? This would be a one-time deal. ?Sometimes,?a person will just leave and not even try to not take care of their fine.?Often, the other parent will??sign for the child.

Farmington Community Library Grand Rapids Public Library Kalamazoo Public Library Orion Township Public Library Rochester Hills Public Library The first year of this grant was designed to build a strong foundation by enhancing skills of children's services staff and enriching the internal culture of the Library relative to early childhood and family centered services. Attached you can find a FAQ on Family Place Libraries. The Family Place Libraries (tm) initiative promotes a national model for transforming public libraries into welcoming, developmentally appropriate early learning environments for very young children, their parents and caregivers. Based on research about the importance of early brain development, the Family Place Library supports the essential role of parents as first teachers and addresses the physical, social, emotional and cognitive aspects of child development to help build a foundation for learning during the critical first years of life. By partnering and working with other social, health and educational services providers, the Family Place model aims to ensure that all children enter school ready and able to learn and positions libraries as key early childhood and family support organizations within the local community.

They are five years old. There are 2 black rocker cushions and one grey cushion and one black ottoman. The cushions on the rockers have some tears and repairs. The cushion on the ottoman has a stain. The steel frames are all in very good condition. It would probably be a good idea to get new cushion covers for all of them, unless you are able to fix them. We are asking $50 for the ottoman and $175 each for the rockers - it's up to you if you want to take the cushion and frame or just the frame for that price. Here is a website with the prices of these rockers new: http://www.stowecraft.com/ctgy/ctc-rockers.html We considered replacing the cushion covers ourselves and keeping them (because they are very comfy!) but have decided to go with a different style of chair. If you are interested please email me back off the listserv. You would need to arrange pick up of the chairs. Thanks for considering!

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.

It was a great session for library directors considering adding a self-publishing service in their libraries. I heard Mark speak at one of the e-book series hosted by MCLS. Mark also speaks to authors and is so informative about how an e-book author gets started, markets, etc. through Smashwords. I arranged it through his public relations person, Jim Azevedo [jim at smashwords.com]. They have a collaboration with Los Gatos Public Library in California http://www.losgatosca.gov/index.aspx?NID=1968 that links through the library website and are also working with the Los Gatos schools to provide a printing project for high school students.

I am also an endurance and obstacle racer. Next week I will be giving a talk at my library entitled, "The Path to the Death Race: A presentation about mud, miles, bloody feet, and 10,000 volts of electricity." This presentation will cover my recent participation in the Winter Death Race in Pittsfield, Vermont, as well as obstacle races, an ultra marathon, and the training that lead up to these events. Additional information about the Winter Death Race and the presentation can be found in the following links: http://www.sooeveningnews.com/article/20140115/News/140119432 http://www.sooeveningnews.com/article/20140221/News/140229810 Other libraries have requested scheduling information for this talk, so I thought I would share with the MichLib-L list. If you would like "The Path to the Death Race" presented at your library, please email d.mindykowski at gmail.com for prices and availability. Multiple libraries in the same vicinity will qualify for a discount. Additional staff training programs for in-services are also available on the subjects of promoting your library via your librarians' extracurricular activities, and team work during stressful times. This training program utilizes my experiences in endurance and obstacle racing and is entertaining, as well as educational. I look forward to sharing my experiences in these sports with your patrons and staff. Thank you, Dion Mindykowski -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
