Michigan College Goal is an initiative focused on helping students successfully complete the FAFSA. Once students see how much aid they can get, 9-in 10 students who file the FAFSA are motivated enough to enroll in college. And that helps build a college going culture at your school. Here's how to make that happen: 1. Announce Michigan College Goal to your students through morning announcements and in the classroom. 2. Post and distribute flyers. 100 flyers and 1 poster will be mailed to ALL Michigan high schools in January and you can print off more here: http://www.micollegegoal.org/Volunteers/Home.aspx. They can be found on the right hand side of the page under the announcements column. 3. Announce Michigan College Goal through emails, newsletters, and auto-call messages to parents saying something like, "How much could your seniors get for college and career education? Most get thousands of dollars in aid. Find out when you file the FAFSA. Get free help filing the FAFSA at a College Goal Event near you on February 9th. Details at www.MICollegeGoal.org." Questions?

The program will be held at Lansing Community College West Campus and will be available through live web stream for remote viewing. Balancing the tenant of libraries as free and open spaces while ensuring the safety of staff and patrons is an ambitious challenge. There are bad actors and some so lost they barely comprehend their actions. As stewards of our buildings, the charge for librarians is to prepare for the worst; arming ourselves first with knowledge, then acting accordingly. In partnership with the Michigan State Police, the day will consist of training from the State Police about personal safety and developing an Active Shooter policy and procedures. There will be input from librarians who have dealt with violence in their workplaces and instruction on layout and design of library space to reduce risk. More information including pricing and when registration will be open will be provided soon! This program is part of a series brought to you by the Cooperative Directors Association, the Library of Michigan and MCLS. Generous support for this session is provided by the Library of Michigan and from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). ******************** Heather M.

Thanks! A reminder about the Letters about Literature program and the deadlines. Letters from teens in grades 9-12 are due Dec. 10th and letters from children in grades 4-6 and 7-8 are due January 10th. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Library of Michigan is announcing the 2014 Letters about Literature program. We are again hosting this national program for Michigan. The Letters about Literature program is a national program from the Library of Congress. It is reading-writing contest that invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to write letters to authors of books that have changed their lives. This program gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on a book. As readers, they come to understand how literature is more than assignment, but also a life changing experience. Children and teens can participate on their own or as part of a library or class project. We have sent a letter and a sample entry form to libraries and schools. The 2014 letters will be due in two waves, which is new this year. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 10, 2013 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 10, 2014. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2014. 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 2014 entry form at the link below. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/Guidelines_Individual_2012_361897_7.pdf If you have any questions about the program, please contact me. We look forward to reading your student and patron letters!

LearningExpress has informed us that the 2014 GED practice tests available in LEL will be released on a rolling basis. The first practice tests will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2014 (Feb/March). We plan to keep the current version of LEL up through the end of June 2014 at which time we will just run the new or 3.0 version of the product.

The film is produced by 8180 Films, owned by Leland residents Rebecca Reynolds and Jim Carpenter. Jim and Becky were long-time board members for the hugely successful Beyond-the-Bay Film Festival series, making those films available free to all Leelanau County Libraries. The Coexist Comedy Tour, is available on DVD at the end of January through Kino Lorber, http://www.kinolorber.com/index.php http://www.kinolorber.com/images/product/428/1995.jpg Some quick info on the film: - It debuted at Traverse City's Winter Comedy Arts Festival in February 2013. - It won Best Documentary Film at VisionFest13 in June 2013 at the Tribeca Cinemas in New York City. - It documents a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Christian, an atheist and a Jew - six comedians from six different belief systems as they try to coexist for one night of comedy. "After one comic bails, the live comedy concert film that started as an exercise in co-existence turns into a documentary, as the filmmakers desperately go in search of a funny Christian. What in God's name could possibly go wrong?" "A hilarious concert movie as well as a behind-the-scenes documentary, The Coexist Comedy Tour is one religious service you won't want to miss. Featuring: John Fugelsang (VH1, America's Funniest Home Videos), Moshe Kasher, Sammy Obeid, Tapan Trivedi, Tissa Hami and Keith Lowell Jensen."

The Sonoma County Library (CA) seeks an experienced leader who will be engaged with the community and open to new ideas. The Sonoma County Library is a Joint Powers Authority created in 1975 to serve the County's nearly 500,000 residents through 11 full-service locations throughout the county, two rural stations, and specialized collections such as the Wine Library and Genealogy and Local History collections. The Library is governed by an independent seven-member Library Commission in a community in which almost half the service population has a library card. With a $15 million annual budget, a challenge for the new Director and staff (129.5 FTEs) will be to work with the Commission, Library Advisory Boards, Friends of the Library groups, county-wide Library Foundation and other political entities to usher in a new era in community outreach and responsiveness-potentially under a newly revised Joint Powers Agreement. Sonoma County--what more could you want? Just a short drive north of San Francisco, Sonoma County and its vibrant communities offer the beauty and bounty of a world-class wine region, with abundant opportunities to enjoy the outdoors including redwood forests, mountains, scenic rivers, and the Pacific Ocean. Santa Rosa is the largest city, with a population of just over 150,000 and active arts, entertainment, education, and business communities. There are a variety of towns and cities in Sonoma County that offer lovely downtowns, unique shopping and entertainment, as well as a friendly, small-town quality of life. Sonoma County residents are civic minded and engaged in their communities. The beauty and climate of Sonoma County will lure you in--and the individual charm of the local communities will make you stay. For additional information on the Library and the region, see Sonoma County Links. Responsibilities. Under the general policy and program direction of the Library Commission, the Director will manage and direct the library's operations to assure a balanced county-wide library system that includes a comprehensive program of library services. Key responsibilities include: manage and direct library operations, plan and develop library services, coordinate governance and support, and build public understanding and support.

Graduation from a college or university approved by an accrediting association of more than statewide standing; plus possession of a graduate library degree from a school accredited by the American Library Association; ten years of experience with increasing levels of responsibility in a public library and/or public agency, at least six of which shall have been in administrative positions; or any combination of education and experience that demonstrates the ability to successfully perform the requirements of the position. Required knowledge includes: all aspects of library administration; pertinent state and federal laws and regulations; organizational, administrative, and management and labor relations principles and practices; supervisory techniques; resource allocation; planning and budgeting; and sources and methods of funding for public agencies.

This is a free one-day online conference aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Small libraries of all types - public, academic, school, museum, special, etc. - are encouraged to submit a proposal. Do you offer a service or program at your small library that other librarians might like to hear about? Have you implemented a new (or old) technology, hosted an event, partnered with others in your community, or just done something really cool? The Big Talk From Small Libraries online conference gives you the opportunity to share what you've done, while learning what your colleagues in other small libraries are doing. Here are some possible topics to get you thinking: ? Unique Libraries ? Special Collections ? New buildings ? Fundraising ? Improved Workflows ? Staff Development ? Advocacy Efforts ? Community Partnerships ? That great thing you're doing at your library! For Big Talk From Small Libraries 2014, we're looking for seven 50-minute presentations and five 10-minute "lightning round" presentations. Big Talk From Small Libraries 2014 will be held on Friday, February 28, 2014 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service. Speakers will be able to present their programs from their own desktops. The schedule will accommodate speakers' time-zones. If you are interested in presenting, please submit your proposal at http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/call-for-speakers/ Friday, January 10, 2014. Speakers from libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people will be preferred, but presentations from libraries with larger service populations will be considered. Last year's event featured two presenters from small libraries here in Michigan. Take a look and see if you can share your ideas for the 2014 event. Shannon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.

From: Michigan Secretary of State [mailto:MISOS at govsubscriptions.michigan.gov] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2014 10:34 AM To: BiggThomas, Deb (MDE) Subject: NEWS RELEASE: Secretary of State Ruth Johnson unveils plan to help at-risk teens become better drivers [http://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/MISOS/2013/10/229519/242059/transparentgif25pix_original_crop.gif][Media Release from Secretary of State Ruth Johnson] -- For immediate release -- Secretary of State Ruth Johnson unveils plan to help at-risk teens become better drivers [teen driver]Partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters aimed at enhancing driving skills and saving lives LANSING, Mich. ? Secretary of State Ruth Johnson today unveiled a pilot program with Big Brothers Big Sisters to help at-risk teens gain practical driving experience and, in doing so, make roads safer for all drivers. ?Young drivers, especially between the ages of 16 and 17, are more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than other age groups,? Johnson said. ?This is primarily due to their age and inexperience behind the wheel. Supervised practice is extremely important to develop the skills and judgment to drive safely and is required for the Level 1 Graduated Driver License. ?But if a teen doesn?t have access to a vehicle or if a parent or guardian isn?t readily available, what is the answer? That?s when the partnership between the Secretary of State and Big Brothers Big Sisters can help.? Johnson made her announcement during a news conference at the Marshall Street Armory, home of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region office in Lansing, with Philip Knight, executive director, BBBSMCR, and Big Brothers Graham Filler from St. Johns and Aaron Fox from Portland. Vehicle crashes are the No. 1 cause of death for young people in America, claiming about 3,000 lives annually, or eight lives per day. In 2012, 10 percent of drivers in Michigan involved in fatal crashes were under the age of 21. Coaching a teen driver is an important part of driver education. With a Level 1 license or learner?s permit, young drivers must log a minimum of 50 hours of supervised driving with a parent, guardian or designated adult age 21 or older. Under the pilot program, BBBS volunteers or ?Bigs? are encouraged to serve as the driving coach and role model for their Little Brother or Sister. The Secretary of State provides materials, including access to a free smartphone app that helps track hours behind the wheel and offers coaching tips. No additional auto insurance is required when driving with a teen with a Level 1 license. Helping teens obtain the training and practice they need to learn how to drive safely and responsibly reduces the crash risk and will save lives. ?Big Brothers Big Sisters is about building relationships between adults and young people that change lives,? Knight said. ?We are pleased to work with Secretary of State Ruth Johnson in developing a program with our mentors to help young drivers become better drivers. Driving is an important step towards greater self-reliance in today?s society. Lack of transportation can hamper young people?s efforts to find employment, housing and educational opportunities.? Michigan?s Graduated Driver Licensing program introduces driving concepts gradually, allowing young drivers to master certain skills before increasing their driving privileges with the GDL 2 and 3 licenses. Teens are not required to advance to the next license level. A teen who feels hesitant may continue driving with a GDL Level 1 license until age 18. Approximately 100,000 Level 1 licenses were issued in 2013. ?You never forget who taught you to drive,? said Fox, who is a BBBS board member and was joined by his Little Brother, Michael Olivas, at the news conference. ?As a Big Brother and a driving coach, I can make a difference for a teen driver that will affect their whole life. Good driving habits can save lives.? Added Johnson, ?By ensuring that young teens get the practice they need, the partnership will help reduce the chances of their involvement in a crash.? Big Brothers Big Sisters has been impacting the lives of children for more than 100 years. Two charities, the Big Brothers Association and the Catholic Big Sisters (later Big Sisters International) founded in the early 1900s merged in 1977 to become Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

See the Michigan Notable Books web site at www.michigan.gov/notablebooks for a complete list and more detailed information about the program. Authors will visit 50 libraries across the state in April, May and June of 2014. If your library is interested in hosting an author this year, please complete the attached "Application to Participate In the Author Tour" form and fax or mail it back to the Library of Michigan by Friday, January 31. The Author Tour is open to all types of Michigan libraries. To help with assigning authors, please list your top 5 author "picks". Remember that by agreeing to take part in the MNB Author Tour your library may be assigned any of the 2013 authors on this year's list. A complete list of the participating authors is not available at this time. Several of the authors will not be able to take part in the MNB Author Tour. Every effort is made to match libraries with requested authors, but author availability and scheduling can be extremely challenging. Your flexibility and understanding is greatly appreciated. Once author assignments have been made, libraries will need to work directly with authors to schedule an agreeable date. The success of the Michigan Notable Books program is due in large part to the great programs individual libraries have organized in past years. This program would not succeed without Michigan libraries' commitment to informing patrons, readers and your communities about the MNB list. Your hard work and partnership does not go unnoticed. Let me know if you have questions. r. Randy Riley Michigan Notable Books Coordinator Library of Michigan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

See further information below. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov Subject: Family Place Library Symposium Event Dear State Librarian, Family Place Libraries will be offering our 7th biannual Family Place Symposium. This free program is open to all public librarians (particularly children's librarians) and administrators. It will be held the morning of March 12, 2012 at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The attached brochure went out to all ALSC members in mid fall. Further information and registration is available at http://www.familyplacelibraries.com/symposium-register.html I writing am to ask if you would send the attached brochure to your statewide email network. EatPlayGrow: Museum/Library/Community Partnership for Healthy Families, will highlight an exciting new project developed as part of a national health initiative to combat early childhood obesity. Developed and tested by the Children's Museum of Manhattan (CMOM) with the cooperation of the National Institutes of Health, it combines innovative and hands-on arts and literacy-based activities with the latest medical and scientific information to activate and support healthy behaviors. This participatory Symposium presentation will include engaging activities from the EatPlayGrow(tm) curriculum, as well as evaluation results from CMOM's four pilot studies. The presentation will also provide strategies for creating, implementing and sustaining a community network by building capacity to leverage existing resources in museum and library settings. Participants will receive an EatPlayGrow(tm) Curriculum Resource CD with Evaluation Report. I greatly appreciate any assistance you may provide in making public librarians in your state aware of this event.

This reminded me that I should let all of you know that if you'd like me to post notices of author visits on the Michigan Soc. of Children's Book Writers & Illustrator's listserv, I will. We have over 500 active children's book writers or illustrators in the state and they will often drive MANY miles to attend a program given by an author. (Esp. another well-known children's author or illustrator.) Some of these writers are teachers, as well, and will spread the word to their schools. I do try to do this, anyway, when I see news that someone special is appearing. But please do not hesitate to contact me if you'd like a extra special push. I can tweet and post on my FB to my followers. Cheers, all! Shutta Shutta Crum http://www.shutta.com Dozens of Cousins. Clarion, 2013. Mine! Alfred A. Knopf, 2011. Thomas and the Dragon Queen.

Since we have limited space and are constantly weeding our collection, one possibility we are considering is this collection would be rental books that we can return once they are no longer popular --patrons would not be charged to check out the books the Library would take care of the cost. Can anyone recommend a company that they use for rental books? Also any words of wisdom regarding a Lucky Day collection would be most appreciated.

In fact, it is part of our jobs - and should be in the Director's job description - to obtain funding for the library. There are specific statutory prohibitions with respect to millage campaign activities, of course, but outside of that, fundraising is more than OK. (We confirmed this with our attorneys before hiring a Director of Development in 2012, but it's a legal opinion I can't share with others. If you're concerned, have your attorney give an opinion.) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Kay Schwartz Director Flint Public Library, 1026 E.

In fact, it is part of our jobs - and should be in the Director's job description - to obtain funding for the library. There are specific statutory prohibitions with respect to millage campaign activities, of course, but outside of that, fundraising is more than OK. (We confirmed this with our attorneys before hiring a Director of Development in 2012, but it's a legal opinion I can't share with others. If you're concerned, have your attorney give an opinion.) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Kay Schwartz Director Flint Public Library, 1026 E.

A question has arisen about the participation of the Library Director and/or other staff members in soliciting operating funds from private donors. Is it a conflict of interest for the Director and/or staff members to ask corporations, foundations, and the general public for operating funds? Since we are paid out of operating funds, is this a conflict of interest? Any experience or insight about this issue would be sincerely appreciated. Frederick J.

Below you can find five important websites to support your library's health information services. * MedlinePlus is a free, comprehensive site of trusted health information provided by the National Library of Medicine. It includes resources for personal health management for different age groups and health care topics, health news, and interactive engagement tools for visitors. Patrons may find this site useful for exploring personal health considerations in easy-to-understand language. * The National Library of Medicine also includes the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, which works to extend and improve public access to health information across eight regions nationwide. Regional network centers support collaboration between libraries and other information centers that serve health information needs. Library staff can identify the region where their library is located and access health information resources specific to their state. * HealthCare.gov is the primary website for individuals to explore and apply for health insurance options available to them as part of the Affordable Care Act. Individuals from every state can visit this site and be directed to the most relevant resources in their community, simply by identifying the Affordable Care Act Marketplace where they live. From here, patrons can explore common questions and answers, identify local application and enrollment assistance, and obtain coverage. * While much discussion and speculation regarding the Affordable Care Act occurs in the media, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services HealthCare site provides clear information about the administration and implications of this complex law, as well as portrays details about many facets of the law for each state. * The Rural Assistance Center is a portal for health and human services information for specifically for rural communities and stakeholders. Topic and state-specific guides can support patrons and library staff alike in understanding the health and human services needs and resources in their community. Please share with us any other favorite sites as you work with community members searching for information on the Affordable Care Act. Don't forget that WebJunction offers resources to support libraries responding to health information needs.

In looking at the archives, I saw a great list of pros and cons, but was curious to know if folks who had dropped RFID after having it had anything to add. Did you see an increase in theft? Cost savings in terms of materials and processing time? Changes in workflow that you didn't expect? Any feedback about the experience would be much appreciated! I will compile the responses and post to the list.

A confirmed date is not known at this point but as soon as a date is confirmed, another e-mail will be sent notifying you when you can expect your materials. Taxpayers can also be referred to Michigan.gov/taxes for copies of the forms and instructions." The Home Heating Credit CR-7 printing was delayed and that's pushing everything back.

At our library, parents sign for their child's card and are the ones who are responsible for fines and/or lost materials. I really don't think you can legally transfer that responsibility from the parent to the child when he/she turns 18. Given that - we decided that an 18 year old in this situation gets a new adult card that he signs for him/herself and gets a fresh start. At that point we will "close" the juvenile's account and attach the fines and fees to the parent's account if the parent has one.

I have a large collection of baseball cards, the bulk of which were from the 1980s and early 1990s. These have been in boxes in my house and I have moved them a few times. In all reality, I am going to keep a relatively small number (mostly Tigers and Mets. Mets? yeah - it is a character flaw - I know, I know - but please cut some slack to this Jersey Boy!). What I am hoping to find are some homes for the majority of cards. The cards from the late 1980s and 1990s have relatively little collectible value as they were mass-produced at high levels. But they might have some real value for libraries as giveaways during youth programs, etc. I love them, but in the spirit of clearing out stuff at home, thought this might be a good win-win situation. I am not looking to sell the ones I want to part with, just find a better home. If anyone is interested, I can provide more details. As it is, I need to go through them and figure out what I want to keep. Even though I do want to keep the Tigers, I have a ton of them - so that would be good. If you are interested or would like more information, please write me at cseeman at umich.edu. Best wishes and stay warm out there. Best - Corey P.S. I will even send them to Yankee fans, though I will do so grudgingly. Corey Seeman Director Kresge Business Administration Library Stephen M.

Founded in 1640, Greenwich is known as the Gateway to New England. A town of neighborhoods, Greenwich is listed as one of the top 100 places to live in the United States (CNN and Money Magazine). Just 38 miles from Manhattan and easily accessible on the Metro-North Rail Line, it is known for its hedge fund industry, public and private school system and health care. Ethnic and cultural and economic diversity are noteworthy; 24% of the population speaks a language other than English in their homes. Greenwich's recreational amenities include beaches, a symphony, and an active arts council. Located in Fairfield County, Greenwich successfully combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with the friendliness of a small New England town. Additional information on the Library and the community can be found at Greenwich Links. Minimum qualifications.

If they are legal petitions (such as nominating, recall, etc.) not just opinion petitions, then they cannot just LEAVE them. The person circulating the petition must be a direct witness of each signature on the petition. If someone opposed to the petition sees it lying there and signs it, he can then challenge the validity of the entire petition because he can sign an affidavit that his signature was not witnessed. That invalidates that entire sheet, and could invalidate all petitions circulated by the person who then claimed to have witnessed all those signatures. The circulator could also be prosecuted for fraud for signing at the bottom as circulator the certification that he/she witnessed each and every signature. It is in the best interest of petition circulators that you NOT allow them to be left at the library. I do think it would be good to have a policy regarding the collecting of signatures at the library - either allowing circulators to set up a table and signs, or banning them, or something in between.

Sorry it's taken so long to share this! We are still debating between simply using it as our Adult Summer Reading prize or adding it to the shelves. If it is added we will be placing our spine label on the exterior box so the title of the book is still visible and we will not run into shelving problems. The inserts would then be placed in an envelope inside the box with a note about the contents, including how many pieces are inside. Each piece will be marked with the corresponding page number. At each check-in the pieces will be counted and if any come up missing they will be marked as such individually. Following are some other responses we received: We ran into the same problem last week. Our solution was to "tip-in" CD sleeves to the pages that contained "stuff". It worked very well. It did; however, make the book slightly too thick to fit back into it's very cool, original box. We had discussed making photocopies of all of the inserts to have as replacement parts, but I believe decided against it. Another solution would be to discreetly write corresponding page numbers on the "stuff" and place them all in an envelope that circulates with the book. -Mindy S., Dewitt Library It is awesome, but almost impossible to circulate with all of those pieces and parts. See this article: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jj-abrams-mystery-book-s-654109 We have decided not to circulate this book at all. It is an excellent gift book though, for people to purchase and give as a gift for the book-lover in their lives. -Julie S., Dearborn Public Library We also purchased this book and have not decided what to do with it. Perhaps I'll use it for a prize in our January-March adult reading program and let the winner figure out how to keep track of all the pieces! -Maureen D., Otsego County Library We had a similar dilemma deciding what to do with S. here at the Canton Public Library. The librarian that ordered S. agreed to continue to circulate it even if some of the inserts disappear (as the cool stuff always does.) We are circulating S. as a group of three items: the book, a 7x10in, labeled envelope containing all of the inserted materials, and the sleeve the book came in. We removed all of the inserted material, created a descriptive list of the contents in numbered order listing the pages they should be read at, and secured it all in a manila envelope. Each of the items has a property label and a number from the contents list. We placed an RFID tag on the book, the sleeve, and the envelope and coded them as a set of 26 (if I remember correctly,) all with the same barcode, so that whenever the item is returned someone will manually count the pieces. The sleeve and the book itself both received a spine label with our call number and we taped the S. label to the spine of the novel in an attempt to convey what the book is actually titled. The manila envelope conveniently fits inside the sleeve with the book and each of these three large pieces is labeled with the barcode and "S. by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst." The bib record also has two notes explaining the contents and that the 813.54 STR on the spine is a faux spine label, to help mitigate shelving issues. -Lauren L., Canton Public Library We decided not to add after receiving and looking it over. A staff member tried to read it, but apparently you need to read the story and read the notes/cards etc at the same time. Decided that we will use it as a door prize for a library program. -Amy R., White Lake Township Library Here are links to some ideas from librarians who participate in the autocat discussion list. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.autocat/56940 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.autocat/57003 -Marian V., Comstock Township Library Ms. TJ Smith Ms. TJ Smith Library Director Sherman Township Library (989) 644-5131 shermandirector at winntel.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I get these frequently enough that it concerns me they are targeting all of you as well-they are link-baits, a scam. Their website they want you to post onto yours are usually review sites for some service. The latest request was for a site that reviewed online tax services, while other ones usually deal with college preparation or finances in some manner or form. I have received dozens in the last few years. All of them come from a real person (not a bot) who usually has no business or contact information attached to their signature, and they almost always are using a personal email address like Gmail or Yahoo. The person contacting you will often tell you the other places that have used their website, and often word their emails congenially like a used car salesman. They are persistent too: they will message you repeatedly until they receive a reply back. Their sites look legitimate enough, but their real goal is to have people click to external sites so their own website generates revenue. Basically, you are giving them an opportunity to make money everytime a patron clicks on one of their site's links. I suggest you shamelessly steal the links their sites link to and host them on your own site, if you are inclined to do so. Example: I was asked to link to a Tax Review Site: http://www.reviews.com/online-tax-software/ -- If you click on the first option, TurboTax, it will take you to a page of paltry reviews. If you hover your mouse over the orange button: "Get Started" you'll notice the site it adhoc's to for revenue: LinkTrackR, known software site for advertising companies: http://ww3.linktrackr.com/ -- While it will take your patrons to Turbotax.com it does so after it generates a little bit of revenue for the original host site. Personally, I don't like to see my organization's website play fiddle so deceitful parties can make easy money. This particular example was easy to spot, but other ones aren't. If it seems too friendly and helpful, and it's free, hang on..

Does anyone have any recommendations for a policy that could be put in place to help protect us from this issue? We already have one regarding minor accounts since they are tied to the parent/guardian that set up the account and/or any other minors who are under the same parent/guardian. Once one account reaches our fine/fee limit, all accounts that are tied to it receive a pop-up and may be blocked until the overdue account it brought up to date. Is it acceptable to tie adult accounts together so once our fine/fee limit is reached it blocks all adult accounts in the household as well?

The Summer Food program provides food during the summer for children in Michigan. You can contact your local ISD or school district to see if they are participating or contact the Summer Food office for more information. See the press release below for more information. [Michigan Dept of Ed header] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, (517) 241-4395 Hunger Doesn?t Take A Summer Vacation More Partners Needed To Make A Real Difference in the Lives of Hundreds of Thousands of Hungry Michigan Children January 28, 2014 The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is looking for community partners, sponsors, and potential site locations to participate in Michigan?s Summer Meet Up and Eat Up? initiative and run summer food programs to prevent nearly 570,000 children in Michigan from going hungry when school lunchrooms close for the summer. The Summer Food Service Program could fill the summer hunger gap for hundreds of thousands of children if there is an increase in community awareness, local government involvement, sponsors to run the program, and sites to serve meals. Last year, out of the nearly 570,000 low-income Michigan children who were eligible, just more than 90,000 (16 percent) were able to eat free meals or snacks at approved summer meal sites in their neighborhoods. In stressing the importance of sponsoring these crucial summer food programs for children, State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said: ?Many families across Michigan are struggling, and we can?t have children going hungry in the summer when programs like this are available. I am calling on schools, churches, and local government and civic organizations to step up and have a positive impact on the lives and health of children in their community by supporting the Summer Food Service Program.? Research shows a direct relationship between good nutrition and learning. The Summer Food Service Program is a key building block in Michigan communities to develop healthy, happy kids who are ready to learn. ?There is a desperate need and the food is available,? Flanagan said. ?We just need more awareness of the program?s availability, more community members to get involved, and additional locations around the state to serve children.? Sponsors receive federal payments for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals. New sponsors will receive free training and technical assistance from MDE. The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas (where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced price school meals). The program can operate in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities. Sponsors can be public school districts or nonprofit private schools; public or private nonprofit residential summer camps; local, county or state government agencies; colleges or universities; or private nonprofit organizations. If you are interested in more information about how you can help feed your community this summer, please contact MDE by March 1, 2014. Program information may be obtained from MDE?s Office of School Support Services, Summer Food Service Program, 608 West Allegan Street, P.O. Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909, 517-373-3347; or on the MDE website at www.michigan.gov/sfsp. The Summer Food Service Program, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. # # # [Meet Up and Eat Up] * SFSP press release 2014.pdf ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo] Questions?

The Library Board of Trustees seeks a new leader to help continue and enhance the Library's successful role as a creative, cultural, and collaborative connection in the community. The Library director will work strategically with local organizations and agencies and be responsive to the needs and concerns of staff, patrons and the community. Ohio Township Public Library System is an independent district with a tax rate exclusively dedicated to public library service. Governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, the Library staff of 50 serves the 37,749 citizens in Ohio Township with a $2 million dollar annual budget. The Library consists of the new Central Library, and two branch facilities: Chandler, located in the town of Chandler; and Newburgh, located in a 1984 building fronting the Ohio River. The challenge for the next director will be to forge strong community relationships and partnerships while leading a motivated staff to further serve the community effectively. Ohio Township, consisting primarily of the cities of Newburgh and Chandler, is located in southwest Indiana in Warrick County. Nestled against a bend in the Ohio River, this community has deep historical roots, small town charm, and a thriving waterfront. While home to interesting shops, quality dining, and local events and festivals, city amenities are also easily accessible - Indianapolis, Nashville, St. Louis and Louisville are all within a few hours' drive. With a quality public school system, the University of Evansville and University of Southern Indiana, Newburgh also hosts parks, trails, and golf courses. Several large corporations in the region, such as Alcoa, Tropicana Entertainment, Vigo Coal, Toyota, and Deaconess Health System, a low cost of living and a strong agricultural presence contribute to a high quality of life. For additional information, please visit Ohio Township Links . Responsibilities. The Director reports to a seven-member Library Board of Trustees and works with the Board, staff, and community stakeholders to establish the strategic vision for the Library aligning the Library's mission, goals and objectives with the community's needs and priorities. This is complex executive work which includes planning, directing, managing and overseeing the activities and operations of the library. The Director also works closely with the Board of Library Trustees, local government, and community agencies and organizations. Too, the Director ensures that local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to Indiana libraries and the by-laws, policies, and directives of the Library Board are being met. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include an ALA-accredited Master's Degree in Library Science; the ability to obtain and retain an Indiana Librarian Certificate 2; and a minimum of three years of relevant library experience which includes supervision of staff. Essential attributes and skills include: vision, creativity, energy and enthusiasm; superior written and oral communications skills; demonstrated success in effectively promoting library services to the community; collaborative and consensus-building skills; experience in recruiting, mentoring, evaluating and retaining an excellent staff; and a thorough knowledge of current trends and "best practices" for library service. 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. For further information contact Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates via email or telephone. To start the application process, send a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or pdf attachments via email to Karen Miller or Jobeth Bradbury on or before the closing date of March 23, 2014.

I've summarized the comments I received for others who are interested, as well as attachments that were shared. Thanks to EVERYONE who responded. Happy Hump Day! Sylvia Merz 1. Books are given away - we use a combination of donated books and books we have weeded from our collection. Hardback or trade paperback, in good condition. 2. Books are wrapped in whatever extra wrapping paper staff had available (Christmas, birthday, newspaper cartoons, etc) 3. Displays are set-up in adult and teen areas (both have been popular). 4. Patron picks up wrapped book, takes home, reads & perhaps discovers new author; some patrons bring back the books and we either re-use in program or give to friends' group for book sale. I have attached a copy of the Blind Date with a Book for Teens flyer we use in the display. You just need to modify slightly for adults. Annett - goikea at libcoop.net --------------------------------- We did Blind date and the people who participated enjoyed it. Briefly--we had each of the librarians pull some of their favorite books so we could hit multiple genres and find books we recommended. We purchased "Hi My Name Is" type badge stickers. We wrapped the books in plain kraft paper, then put on the sticker. The librarian recommending it wrote a little teaser on it so that people would know what kind of book they were taking--something like "Hello. I am a quick-paced tale of lost treasure, set in the mysterious mountains of Peru" or "Hello. If you love warm stories of life among the Amish, I am sure to be your next date!" etc. (I made those up)-you get the idea. We didn't want people who only liked Christian Fiction to get a scandinavian crime novel. So it seemed fair to at least lead them to their general genre or temperament. We put the out on display with a sign explaining that they could/would/should check them out as is (since we have rfid, there is no need to open them to checkout) and take them home before unwrapping them. I think it was important to have some explanation so people "got" that it was about them trying something new and unexpected. If you don't have rfid, you'll have to think of another way to circulate them, such as just cutting out a hole where the barcode is so they can be surprised AFTER they check them out! Kelli kperkins at herrickdl.org --------------------------------- We wrapped the books in brown paper. We wrote some adjectives or characteristics or "personality traits" on the outside to entice a reader's interest. I've seen some libraries cut out the brown wrapper to show the barcode if they place the barcode on the outside of the book. Our barcodes happen to be on the inside so we wrote the barcode on the outside of the book. We also kept a list at the circulation desk so we could cross of which ones were checked out for easy, fast reference and to help facilitate adding more to the display. Many patrons liked the idea and some liked to test themselves and guess the title of the book. All in all the staff had fun and so did the Tracie Alger talger at bigrapids.lib.mi.us ------------------------------ In general, we are wrapping the book, putting the barcode on the outside of the package, and making up a summary that includes genres, age interests if applicable, and subject. If it is a mystery, for example, we will also put a mystery sticker on the outside of the package. Just enough info, so the person has a general idea what they are getting, so they don't end up with a "trashy romance" when they only read "Christian" fiction, for example. That's my understanding of it, but I'm not the one setting up the display. Let me know your specific questions. Good luck. Jennifer Walters aitkinlibrary at sbcglobal.net ------------------------------ For the past 2 years, I have done something similar for Christmas. It is "Unwrap a good book" I have attached a picture so you can see what the display looks like. The books are all wrapped and on the tag, I put the book barcode, so that it can be checked out without being unwrapped, and a description of the book, so patrons can see if it is something they are interested in. LeAnn Beckwith lbeckwith at hillsdale-library.org ----------------------------- At the Norton Shores Branch Library back in August 2013 we adapted the Blind Date book promotion to work with kids and called it Brown Bag Reading. Our goal was to keep kids reading after summer reading had ended. I'm attaching files that have the staff instructions on how we ran the program, along with a couple of the draft mock-ups for our promotional materials. It was a big success for us, and we are definitely doing it again. It's perfect for February! My most important suggestion is be sure to prep (i.e. wrap up and label)enough books--we really underestimated interest and were constantly prepping more books into bags throughout the whole month. And if you have a better way (i.e. automated via your ILS) to track how many books are circulated that would help, too. Allison Purgiel apurgiel at madl.org --------------------------------------- I picked out an assortment of books from each genre that might have flown under the radar or surprised me or were highly recommended by others. I also asked staff if they had any favorite books they thought most people hadn't read. Then I wrapped them in paper with the barcode cut out. I wrote a number on the back of the book that corresponded to a list of titles that we kept behind the circulation counter. It would be easy enough to just scan the barcode if staff needed to know what the book was, but I'm going to make a list again because it came in handy when we were searching for a book that was "in" but not on the shelf. My favorite part of this whole display was creating personal ads for the books. I don't have access to any of them from home, but they went along the lines of "Classic femme fatale detective novel seeks serious reader who enjoys sharp plot twists." It was a lot of fun! Our patrons loved it, and we had many people come back for a second or third date. I'e also attached a fun program for teens for Valentine's Day - Anti-Valentine's Day Party. It's something I got from another library. It has detailed materials lists, timelines, instructions for games, everything. I might try to do it this year... Michelle Schubert erlibprograms at gmail.com ------------------------------------------- We did the "Blind Date with a Book - Art & Mystery jpg attached" display last year and it was quite popular. We deliberately used books that don't circulate much, but got good reviews. I wrote a blurb from an author review on the cover on the wrapping, to give patrons an enticing teaser. Our library uses RFID, so checking out wasn't a problem. Otherwise, you could write the barcode on the back of the wrapping. Some libraries have used brown paper. I used newspaper classifieds (would have loved to use the "Personal Ads" if I could have found them. I also wrapped them in a bit of colored construction paper to make them look more festive. A few people reported back that it was quite a treat to get a literal surprise at the library. Lindsey Harnish lharnish at ferndalepubliclibrary.org ----------------------------------- We used a bunch of left over books from our book sale ( in very nice shape) and wrapped them in plain brown kraft paper and then we added a tag that said Have a Blind Date with Me-- on some we did put romance, science fiction, mystery, etc but you really don't have to do that. We put a small fruit jar by the display and asked for donations. We have made over $50.00 on it so far. We are a very small library and we really did not have a good display area- we used one of the library tables- If you had a bigger area you could do more with it. Hope this helps. Richard Klender klenders at centurytel.net --------------------------- Canton Public Library did this program a year ago. You can see our blog posting . We are not repeating it this year because we're undergoing some reconstruction starting February 2nd. Please feel free to respond with your questions. Ellen Pare paree at cantonpl.org ------------------------------- I am trying a version of Blind Date with a Book at my library, but it is a little different from the way most libraries that I've seen do it. We're using the program to deplete some of our used bookstore overstock (and do something fun at the library, of course). I've taken some of the nicer donations of less popular authors. Wrapped them with tags that say things like "Cozy Mystery", etc. On the reverse side of the tag is a place for a person's library card #, name, and a brief review. If they return a review they are entered in a drawing for an actual date. (Our Friends group donated gift cards to a local restaurant and movie theater). There's been quite a bit of interest so far (I put the books out last Monday. Elizabeth Campion campiee4 at gmail.com ------------------------------ We have done the Blind Date display and do another one for Banned Book Week where we wrap up books. For the Blind Date one we simply wrap up the book and write the barcode on it for check out purposes. On the Banned Book one we put a brief description of the reason for the banning and write the barcode on it. In or computer we set the books in a display status this way if someone is looking for it we know where to look. Hope this info helps! Laura Rodriguez-Irwin gntlri at llcoop.org ---------------------------------- Whew - hope this helps folks; it certainly did me.

The last of the series of films, Freedom Riders, dovetails with the opening of a Smithsonian exhibit by the same name at the Community Unitarian Universalist of Brighton--just off I-96. Please consider and if you'd like a poster for your patrons, let us know--we're happy to send you one! Ceci Marlow To introduce four documentaries with riveting new footage illustrating the history of civil rights in America, Cromaine District Library will offer a series of screenings and lectures centered around the films: *The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name*,*The Loving Story*, and *Freedom Riders*. *Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle *is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities that uses the power of documentary films to encourage community discussion of America's civil rights history. NEH has partnered with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to develop programmatic and support materials for the sites. Cromaine Library is one of 473 institutions across the country awarded a set of four films chronicling the history of the Civil Rights Movement. The powerful documentaries,*The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name*, *The Loving Story*, and*Freedom Riders*, include dramatic scenes of incidents in the 150-year effort to achieve equal rights for all. *Freedom Riders *received an Emmy in 2012, and *The Loving Story *and *The Abolitionists *have been nominated for Emmys in 2013. "These films chronicle the long and sometimes violent effort to achieve the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence--life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness--for all Americans," said [local host]. "We are pleased to receive a grant from NEH to provide programming around these films." Each of the films was produced with NEH support, and each tells remarkable stories of individuals who challenged the social and legal status quo of deeply rooted institutions, from slavery to segregation. *Created Equal *programs bring communities together to revisit our shared history and help bridge deep racial and cultural divides in American civic life. Visitwww.createdequal.neh.gov for more information. Visit www.cromaine.org for program information and sign up.

The house is not designated as an historic building, but is a popular and beloved landmark in the community, so tearing it down and building a new structure is not an option. Our goal is to find a way to build an addition that somewhat maintains the architectural aesthetics, yet gives us more room for books, Internet computers, a teen area, study space, etc. The building committee would like to schedule some visits to similar libraries that have successfully added on to their old and/or historic buildings (preferably in the SE quadrant of the lower peninsula), to get some ideas, and would very much appreciate it if anyone could recommend libraries we could contact to do so. Thanks! Mary Ferguson, Collection & ILL Mgr. Northfield Township Area Library 125 Barker Rd.
