The idea comes from two psychologists, Dr. Pauline Rose Clance and Dr. Suzanne Ament Imes, both of whom noticed reoccurring anxieties among successful women/men in managerial roles. The idea behind IP is that no matter how hard one works, or how successful one becomes, the individual feels like a fraud. At any moment they will be ?found out? by supervisors that they are not as ?good?, ?intelligent?, or ?successful? as they appear to be. They feel as if their success was by chance or by luck and not from their own abilities. There is no known or expected risk, threat, or harm to either potential project participants or project participants or others. The short survey should take approximately 15-25 minutes to complete. A portion of this survey contains the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) with permission of the author (see permission statement below). No data is saved until the participant submits the full survey. You are asked to voluntarily provide specific information to this web site. You may skip any question, or stop participating at any time. The information collected will be used for the stated purposes of this research project only and will not be provided to any other party for any other reason at any time except and only if required by law. You should be aware that although the information you provide is anonymous, it is transmitted in a non-secure manner. There is a remote chance that skilled, knowledgeable persons unaffiliated with this research project could track the information you provide to the IP address of the computer from which you send it. However, your personal identity cannot be determined. Responses are anonymous and data will be reported without any identifying characteristics. The results from this survey will be presented at conferences and disseminated in other research articles.

We currently have an RTI Eco Auto Smart that is several years old and more and more often has issues.

It looks to be fast with less need to change out pads etc than what we currently have. Does any library use this VMI model? If so, how do you like it and if you have experience with RTI, how does it compare?

Your Michigan Library Delegation has been busy today visiting with all of the Michigan Congressional Delegation educating them on national library issues and asks as well as letting them know how federal funding benefits what libraries do in Michigan. Joining us in D.C. this year are public, school, academic librarians, trustees and private citizens who support their libraries join us from Michigan to talk to our legislators and their staff about LSTA and E-Rate funding, Early Learning, Net Neutrality, Open Access, School Libraries via ESEA--Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Workforce Investment , Privacy & Surveillance and more. My colleague Joe Hamlin, State Data Coordinator at the Library of Michigan created 2 informative pieces on how we use LSTA funding in Michigan one of which is an amazing Info-graphic on the amazing work public libraries are going in all of Michigan's 14 Congressional districts and state-wide. Both were in the Michigan packets we left with our senators and representatives. There is still time to participate in ALA's National Library Legislative Day which virtually is all week long! Just see the message below, and let your voice be heard! You can see photos from NLLD in D.C. on the Library of Michigan's Facebook page, http://facebook.com/libraryofmichigan. Special thanks to GaleCengage for their support of 2 Michigan librarians to join us at NLLD!

Hundreds of library supporters from all across the country will convene in Washington DC where they will be briefed on legislative issues affecting libraries and will meet with their legislators to discuss them. Even if you can't make it to DC, you can still advocate for libraries by calling or emailing Congress as part of Virtual Library Legislative Day (VLLD). All week long (May 5-9), library supporters can let their legislators know just how important our nation's libraries are to the communities they serve. This is an especially important time to speak up for libraries as Congress continues to make cuts that impact libraries. Here's how to participate in Virtual Library Legislative Day: Email Congress To email your legislators, see our alert page and edit the message we already started for you. Call Congress To call your Members of Congress, go to the VLLD alert at the Legislative Action Center (LAC). After reading the issue briefs, head back to the LAC homepage and enter your information into the "Find your Officials" box. For more information, head to the official VLLD page sponsored by United for Libraries, ALA Chapter Relations Office, ALA Office for Library Advocacy and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Thanks for your participation!

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

This does not affect Baldwin's operating millage, so the Library will continue to operate without any changes in hours or services. This was a curious election. There was a strong organized local opposition, but then the measure leaped onto the regional and national stage. The Detroit News urged Birmingham to turn down the measure, and there were "vote no" mailings from a group called The Free Congress Action, located in Virginia, as well as robocalls out of Idaho. Even NPR did a segment on the vote. I believe we had a strong building plan developed by Quinn Evans Associates, but the voters ultimately decided that the investment was not worth the cost.

Now, both the library and the historical society are trying get organized, and the society would like to officially (and in writing) stake out some space in the library as "theirs." Do any of your libraries have written agreements with your local historical societies in regards to storage of collections or use of the library space? Does your library's collection policy include specific mention of local history materials? Are you working closely with your local historical society, or have you found it better to remain completely separate? Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Story below: Ypsilanti Library Receives Graphic Novel Grant Special project will focus on medical uses of graphic novels The Ypsilanti District Library (YDL) is one of two libraries in the country to receive the Will Eisner Graphic Novel Award, an annual award from the Will and Ann Eisner Family Foundation. YDL has made comics and graphic novels a focus of their collection, largely in response to patron requests. The library also hosted comic book legend Art Spiegelman at Pease Auditorium this month, and held Comic Book Day events for kids during spring break. Spiegelman and Will Eisner can both be credited with creating some of the first comic books that grabbed the attention of the literary community, spurring the "graphic novel" genre. "We have more and more people looking for graphic novels at the library, and they get checked out almost as much as bestsellers" said library Assistant Director Lori Coryell. The award, valued at $7,000, includes funds to expand the library's graphic novel collection and host a graphic novel event, a collection of Eisner's work and graphic novels that have been nominated for the Will Eisner Award at this year's Comic-Con, and a stipend to send a librarian to the American Library Association conference to accept the award and engage in professional development. Taking a new turn on many perceptions of graphic novels, the library's grant will focus on how graphic memoirs can be used in medical treatment and recovery. This approach to using graphic novels is a relatively new field, popularized by the UK group Graphic Medicine. With funds from the grant, YDL will purchase graphic novels that relate to illness and addiction and host a guest speaker to meet with health care providers about how they might use graphic novels in their practice. "Graphic novels really lend themselves to memoirs, so there are some really personal accounts of what it is like to deal with illnesses and addiction," said Susan Brown, the librarian who manages the adult graphic novel collection at the library's Whittaker Road location. "The medical collection is an interesting project. I've been following the Graphic Medicine group for several years and I'm glad we're going to be able to expand this collection and share knowledge about new ways for people to experience graphic novels." Patrons will see the graphic novel collection expanding at YDL in late 2014, and the special events related to graphic novels in medicine will begin in spring 2015. ### --- Gillian Ream Gainsley Communications and Development Coordinator Ypsilanti District Library ggainsley at ypsilibrary.org 734-879-1303 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What is your policy concerning renewal of items? Do you allow an item to be renewed more than once? 2. What do you require to access a patron's library account? Do you accept a driver's license to bring up the account or do your patrons have to present their library cards? I am excited for your answers. Have a delightful weekend, Sonja Downey -- Supervisor of Circulation Services Tecumseh District Library Phone (517) 423-2238 Fax (517) 423-5519 sdowney at tecumsehlibrary.org 215 N.

Simply put, the first time that your item comes due, we will automatically renew it. If someone else has a hold on the item, you will be notified, and if you bring it back within a day or two, we will not charge you late fees. Netflix realized that people hate overdue fees a few years ago. We recognize this, too. The Courtesy Renewals service is our attempt to keep our customers happy. Each year, customers stop using the library for a number of reasons. 20% of them stop because their accounts have become blocked due to fines. We felt we could change this by preventing the items from becoming overdue in the first place, and in fact, we billed 27% fewer people compared to the same month one year ago. In addition, we realized that Courtesy Renewals could have an impact on the very heart of library services: children. 40% of the Courtesy Renewals to date have been for juvenile or young adult materials. And it hasn?t hurt our bottom line, either. Renewals have increased 138% over this month last year, giving us a considerable leg up on our internal circulation goals. Our only cost for this service was to write the code in our ILS. We will be monitoring the circulation and fine data closely as the program progresses, and will publish our results so that other libraries might benefit from our beta testing this new service. Speaking of, Columbus Metropolitan Library in Ohio began a similar service on May 1. We look forward to seeing this idea spread to libraries far and wide, for as one colleague told us, ?What a great idea. I wish my library did this for me.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

IMPACT: Educate, Engage, Empower--For Equity To teach is not to transfer knowledge, but to create the possibilities for the production or construction of knowledge. --Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom Educate Enabling access to information and creating opportunities to produce new knowledge* are two obligations of a democratic society (Lievrouw & Farb, 2003). In the past, these imperatives have compelled individuals in the field of library and information sciences to question and study the adequacy and comparability of resources within knowledge-providing institutions, including schools and libraries (Pribesh, Gavigan, & Dickinson, 2011). More recently, unprecedented growth in technology has led to new equity considerations. Reconsidering who has access to information, as well as who is responsible for or empowered in the process of producing and validating knowledge, has implications for the roles of staff and educators in our K-12 institutions (Yu, 2006; Zins, 2007). Specifically, while educators should remain concerned with comparability of information access, they should also recognize that what counts as valid and valuable knowledge is culturally determined (Lievrouw & Farb, 2003). Furthermore, students should be viewed and empowered by educators as producers of knowledge rather than as recipients. In sum, educational stakeholders seeking to provide all students with equitable learning environments in the information age must tackle issues concerning the creation, selection, accessibility, and distribution of information with the ultimate goal of empowering students to read and respond to both ?the word? and ?the world? (Freire & Macedo, 1987). Equity Considerations We have long recognized that disparities exist in access to particular sources of information, including physical access to comparably-funded libraries (Pribesh, Gavigan, & Dickinson, 2011) and the internet (Mossberger, Tolbert, & McNeal, 2008) as well as to skills necessary to interpret print or use technology (Meneses & Momino, 2010; Pribesh, Gavigan, & Dickinson, 2011). History is replete with examples of times that resources and literacies were intentionally denied to particular groups (Collins, 1995; Jimenez, 1990; Luke, 2012) or when information was tightly controlled or manipulated, with those controlling the flow of information referred to as ?gatekeepers? (Pettigrew, 1972). Within the context of information flow to students, decision-makers at all levels, from state political leaders who determine how to distribute funding to schools, to school board members who approve curricula, to media specialists and teachers who introduce information and resources to students, serve gatekeeping roles. One of the outcomes of unbalanced decision-making processes is that schools with the highest concentrations of students from low-income families have the fewest school library resources to draw on, and schools serving more affluent families are also more likely to have more than one full-time librarian (Pribesh, Gavigan, & Dickinson, 2011). Perhaps more relevant to this generation is the extent to which youth have access to new technologies that connect them to digital information and each another (Asselin & Doiron, 2008); access here is also unequal, with African-Americans from working-class communities the least likely group to be able to use the internet regularly (Mossberger, Tolbert, & McNeal, 2008). Research studies have also noted differences in environmental factors that implicitly value or devalue print literacy, including whether or not neighborhood stores sell reading material for children, the amount of signage in the neighborhood, whether physical spaces to read are available, and the quality of daycare and preschool materials (Neuman & Celano, 2001). Such concerns have spurred movements in library and information sciences to improve political enfranchisement and participation of individuals in digital and print literacy activities (Lievrouw & Farb, 2003; Meneses & Momino, 2010). Ensuring access to information in various forms is an enduring concern, and one that remains important in equity conversations. At the same time, we must also acknowledge that what constitutes meaningful access and valued information is locally and culturally determined (Meneses & Momino, 2010). All individuals live in an ?information world that is defined by their shared culture: the way in which people acquire and use information and the way in which people make sense of the information are all ultimately shaped by this culture? (Yu, 2006, p. 232). Moving beyond equality of access to information requires acknowledgement that ?fair or reasonable distribution of information among individuals, groups, regions, categories, or other social units? is one that allows ?the opportunity to achieve whatever is important or meaningful to them in their lives? (Lievrouw & Farb, 2003, p. 515; see also Becvar & Srinivasan, 2009). Accordingly, schools and libraries should center the knowledge needs of their local communities as defined by and in dialogue with those communities. Those in marginalized communities possess important information resources (Becvar & Srinivasan, 2009) as well as an ability to unravel myths and distortions in dominant sources of information (Luke, 2012). As information-centered institutions, schools and libraries can shift from a primary focus on distributing information to one that facilitates the important work of producing knowledge and preserving and promoting cultural and ethnic heritage. In other words, rather than falling into the common trap of considering students and families as merely receivers or seekers of knowledge, we should recognize their power as knowledge sources and creators of information (Meneses & Momino, 2010). When combined with action-based methods and frameworks for capturing their unique knowledge, digital technologies can prove a powerful tool for developing these kinds of two-way knowledge-sharing relationships (Becvar & Srinivasan, 2009). Recommendations An equity focus on information access and production first entails recognition that the go-to sources for teachers and media service personnel in schools are often drawn from their own cultural backgrounds and/or from sources that are privileged among particular groups (Doherty, 2006). Because of this, students? requests for information tend to be met with responses drawn from a white Anglo-Saxon male paradigm (Doherty, 2006). Furthermore, if information sources (e.g., texts) describe racial or ethnic groups inaccurately, students may become skeptical about the trustworthiness of both texts and of teachers (Overall, 2009). Rather than treating information as a neutral commodity, it must be seen as context- and interest-dependent. To assess information equity, we must ask whether what we are providing allows individuals ?to accomplish their particular ends and purposes? (Lievrouw & Farb, 2003, p. 515); such a question widens the view of information to that which is ?constantly changing, contested, interdisciplinary, and collaboratively constructed and re-constructed? (Asselin & Doiron, 2008, p. 3). Educators, including school librarians, must take on new roles, facilitating students? growth as critical information-seekers and knowledge-sharers. Encouraging students to ask questions that engender critical literacy ? an ability to unpack myths and distortions and build new ways of knowing (Luke, 2012) - is essential. These might include: * What is ?truth?? How is it presented and represented, by whom, and in whose interests? (Luke, 2012, p. 2) * How does the author get me to believe him/her? What does this person have invested in this information? How does this information influence my thinking on the subject? (Asselin & Doiron, 2008) * What explicit and hidden messages about (race/gender/nationality/ability) do the authors send to readers? (Teaching Tolerance, 2014) While digital access opens the door to many new resources for students, teachers and school librarians do still have significant influence over the types information students will work with in schools. Because of this, it is important that they provide access to materials in a wide variety of formats and from a wide variety of perspectives (Smith & Brown, 2013). When students and families are involved in the selection of materials and when materials represent the full range of languages spoken in the school community, students benefit (Overall, 2009). Finally, if we accept that learning is not simply information transmission from teacher, text, or web to learner, but accept that each person has relevant experiences that can be used to ?enable people to overcome their false perceptions of reality? (Freire, 1993, p. 86), we must also attend to students and communities as creators of valid and valuable information (Gonzalez, Moll, & Amanti, 2005). Students should be encouraged to produce and share information, asking: * What do I already know about this particular topic? * How did I develop this knowledge? * Is what I know consistent with other sources of information? * What other information would help me to understand this topic better? * How could I represent and share what I know with others? By encouraging students to approach new information with respect for what they already know or to share what they know with others, we take a step toward recognizing ?young people as active members of society: not only becoming, but being as well? (Meneses & Momino, 2010, p. 206). Conclusion Opportunities to access relevant information, critically assess ?the word? and ?the world?, and produce knowledge, are all vital to students? growth as participants in democratic society. As we continue to assess the adequacy and equality of access, retaining an understanding that relevance, validity, and literacy are culturally bound notions will serve us well as we seek to expand opportunities and participation. In schools, moving beyond information retention to seeking, assessing, and producing will serve our students best as they strive to be and become active participants in society. *While the meaning of terms like ?information? and ?knowledge? are contested, drawing from Zins? Critical Delphi, this article adopts the perspective that information is a set of organized data that is universally available (e.g., through a film, article, or podcast), while knowledge is information that has been interpreted by a particular individual (Zins, 2007).

Engage [ALA] The American Library Association (ALA) was founded in 1869 in Philadelphia, PA and its national headquarters is currently located in Chicago, Illinois. Today, the organization serves over 9,000 members through its 11 membership divisions and 20 sub-committees that focus on specific issues related to library services, school support, and community development. By establishing a network, ALA now has affiliates, chapters, and many other relationships with grassroots organizations. ALA's mission is to produce research, provide professional development opportunities, and host conferences that bring librarians together to improve education. In alignment with this mission, the ALA has identified eight key action areas for the 21st century, including advocacy for librarians and the profession, intellectual freedom, literacy, diversity, education and lifelong learning, transforming libraries, organizational excellence, and equitable access to information and library services. To support these key action areas, ALA publishes reports, offers resources, and hosts events across the country pertaining to literacy and library equity. The organization has also established divisions and subgroups that focus on these matters across the nation. The Office for Library Advocacy, for example, works directly with schools in crisis, providing resources, letters of support, and national data sets to help local school districts and grassroots organizations that are seeking to renew closed or deprived libraries, librarians, and literacy resources in school. In addition, the Office is charged to bring media attention to the issues facing school libraries. This is just one of many offices within the ALA that are fighting to better support the development of school libraries. Please view their site and use their resources to advocate in the Great Lakes region. Empower Something to Read! [something to use] Speak Up is an initiative committed to understanding how students' use of digital technology has evolved over the last ten years. In 2013, Project Tomorrow surveyed over 325,000 students from 9,000 schools in 2,700 national school districts and published this national report on student learning and its relationships to technology and digital device usage in classrooms. The report offers insights into how students use digital tools and resources inside and outside of school activities to enhance learning. For instance, by using digital technology and mediums such as Skype, Facebook, and Google Images, students are able to share their narratives and investigate content and ideas. Using a metaphor of native storytelling, the authors compare students? adoption of digital technology as a method to explore the evolution of the education process. Read this report to better understand students? digital learning experiences. Something to Watch! [something to watch] The Iowa Association of School Librarians produced this short video to describe how librarians - whom they assert are teachers first and foremost ? can transform schools. The video highlights the values and skills librarians bring to school settings, proposing a student-centered, community-inclusive framework for libraries in schools. Ultimately, librarians are considered strategic assets in schools? mission to support critical literacy and life-long learning. Watch to learn more! Something to Use! [something to use] In honor of honor of this year?s National Library Week, the American Library Association (ALA) released The State of America?s Libraries: 2014. The report discusses various aspects of information literacy and the role of libraries in five critical goal areas: literacy, inquiry, social and emotional growth, creativity, and imagination. Additionally, the report shares findings from a national survey that confirms the public?s interest in retaining a robust library system for schools and communities. However, while considered vital in the U.S., school budget cuts have resulted in underfunding and neglect of school libraries, adding to an information literacy gap. As the information literacy gap continues to increase, the current state of library services in schools and communities must be discussed in a larger context. This report provides students, teachers, and parents with valuable knowledge to help initiate the conversation in their communities. Reference List: Educate: Asselin, M., & Doiron, R. (2008).

Sheryl devotes her career to the establishment of more equitable access to information and literary resources for all communities. As the assistant director, she directs statewide library services, which includes the oversight of federal grant administration, certification and professional development for librarians, broadband development, public access computing, collaborative projects, and consulting. Sheryl is also responsible for the coordination and management of the Library of Michigan?s flagship program, the Michigan eLibrary. Sheryl?s experience with social justice work began in college, leading her to explore issues related to intellectual freedom. As an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan, Sheryl became acutely aware of socio-economic inequities, particularly with relation to community protection initiatives. From her perspective, information must not only be for the privileged elite, especially if Americans are serious about being a democratic nation with guaranteed First Amendment Rights. ?Thomas Jefferson said that an informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy, which is often quoted as ?intellectual freedom is the cornerstone of democracy? and this has always made sense to me. Information is power - power to the people.? To Sheryl, the process of uncovering equity issues for K-12 education may differ somewhat from uncovering those in the library world. However, at the root, the process has the same tenets. Sheryl believes that the economic stratification of American families contributes to the growing literacy gaps between middle class and low-income households. Everyone needs to be committed to solving the problems surrounding access and opportunities. Sheryl asserts that the career of a librarian centers on providing resources and creating pathways that expose the community to information; she also challenges all citizens to use their political power to support libraries.

Our team has been busy with grantwriting this season! See story below. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 13, 2014 Library Grants Bring Music to Ypsilanti Shout It Out and Ypsi Song Fest will both return in 2014 Ypsilanti has plenty of homegrown musical talent, and this summer the Ypsilanti District Library will host several programs and performances to support and inspire our local musicians and artists thanks to new funding from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA). The funding includes $2,000 to support the 4th annual Shout It Out, a teen-produced art and music event, as well as $5,250 for the 8th annual Ypsi Song Fest, which brings a renowned songwriter to perform in Ypsilanti and also includes workshops for new and aspiring songwriters. This is the second year in a row that these two programs have received MCACA grants. "Music and the arts are essential pieces of the vibrant communities that we love, and having access to arts education is so important, particularly for young people." Said YDL Assistant Director Lori Coryell. For the second year in a row, the library has hired four teen interns to produce the Shout It Out program. They will spend the summer creating publicity materials, hosting auditions, learning about sound equipment, working on their public speaking skills, and getting ready to host the August 9 concert in Library Plaza. Ypsi Song Fest, which will be held September 13, will include a day-long schedule of free workshops on songwriting and home recording, followed by a performance and interview with featured artist John Doe in downtown Ypsilanti. While they both support developing musical talent, the two events have very different styles. Ypsi Song Fest has developed a folk/Americana vibe over the years, and a lot of the artists, including John Doe, started their careers in the punk rock scene. On the other hand, Shout It Out is driven by the teens that put it on and the music they want to make. In the past, there has tended to be a lot of hip hop and spoken word music, with everything from metal to pop mixed in, depending on the interests of the performers. "Ypsilanti is a wonderfully diverse community and it's great to be able to have music that appeals to such a wide range of people." Said Coryell. "We have such a creative community and we're happy to help push that forward." ### --- Gillian Ream Gainsley Communications and Development Coordinator Ypsilanti District Library ggainsley at ypsilibrary.org 734-879-1303 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They have about 70 titles available as of now, including the exclusive rights to Consumer Reports, with more to come. Cost is per title, based on population served, with no additional access fee. I am working on discounted pricing for Michigan libraries. Url: http://trial.ebscohost.com User Id: librarynetwork Password: trial The process seems simple enough, just login with your User Id and Password, click the title you want to read, and start reading it. If it really is that simple, and if the pricing turns out to be competitive, and if EBSCO is able to build their title database, then Flipster should provide some good competition for Zinio. As Flipster content can be purchased title by title, at the very least it should serve as a good supplement and source of titles that Zinio cannot provide, such as Consumer Reports. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding Flipster. Thanks.

Message-ID: <054601cf7047$4760d130$d6227390$@gossagesager.com> City Library Director-New Haven (CT) Free Public Library Creating Community - Unleashing Potential - the New Haven Free Public Library Board of Directors seeks an exceptional leader to help realize the Library's strategic goals, create community, and unleash the potential of the city and the library at its heart. The successful candidate will exhibit strong management skills and excellent cultural competencies. The Library Director will work well in a complex environment and be a strong team leader who builds consensus internally and be a passionate advocate who connects the library system externally with a broad mosaic of community stakeholders. The library, with a $5 million annual budget ($4.5 from City appropriations), a strong senior management team and a dedicated staff (52.3 FTEs), provides services and programs through the historic Ives Main Library (on the New Haven Green and adjacent to the Yale campus), four branches and a ReadMobile. The Library Director, working with the board and a related foundation board, will build on fundraising successes of the last decade and secure new financial resources to increase services. The Library will serve as a powerful catalyst for strong neighborhoods, academic success of every school child, and workforce development. For additional details see NHFPL Strategic Plan 2014-2016. New Haven is one of America's most dynamic small cities. The City proper has a population of 130,000. The principal municipality of a metropolitan region on the northern shore of Long Island Sound, it is in close proximity to Boston and New York City, which is accessible by more than 40 daily train connections. New Haven had the largest population growth of any New England city in the 2000-2010 U.S. Census and it has the highest apartment occupancy rate in the nation, with construction of more downtown residential sites underway. Like most communities, New Haven is also home to people with socio-economic challenges - but it has a scale and assets that make connecting residents to opportunity more possible. The local economy has a lot of STEAM - with science, technology, education, arts, and medicine as key drivers. Bioscience is growing, fueled by university research and the presence of Yale-New Haven Hospital, the fifth largest hospital in the U.S. Yale University and five other universities in the region enroll 35,000 students a year. Gateway Community College opened a state-of-the art downtown campus in 2012, three blocks from the main library. New Haven has professional theater, practicing architects, new and classical music concerts, outdoor festivals, and free world-class art museums unmatched by any city of similar size in the country. It also has 376 years of history - seen in its town green and architecture spanning three centuries - and nature is always nearby, with beaches, hiking trails, parks and farms not far from the city center. Such recreational opportunities are beneficial, given that New Haven is also a great restaurant town - from fine dining to the best pizza anywhere. For additional information, visit NHFPL Links.

If so, what is the thinking for continuing the practice? Or, have you made changes recently? We do lightly filter our computers, but all of our seven buildings are relatively small and we do not have the luxury of having separate computers for children or teens (with different filtering levels). We do state in our policy that parents are responsible for determining what is appropriate for their own children. Grateful for any thoughts or information.

Yes, thanks to all the hard work by librarians and library cooperative directors around the state, this week we added our 104th cultural partner! (and still counting). This represents a 67.74% increase in the number of MAP partners vs. this year's 62. Please see the attached press release for a complete listing of all committed MAP Year 2 cultural partners. Next week we will share an updated copy of Brigette's popular MAP brochure, perfect for printing and distribution to your patrons, that lists all MAP participants including their url and telephone number. With so many cultural partners, MAP literally has something for everyone. For families with young children http://www.mi-sci.org/ http://www.upchildrensmuseum.com/ http://www.kidsnstuff.org/ and http://www.midmicm.org/ are all must-sees. As the son (and grandson) of an automobile assembly line worker my personal preferences lean towards the planes http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/ trains http://www.southernmichiganrailroad.com/ http://www.trainandboattours.com/ http://www.michigantransitmuseum.org/ and automobiles http://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org/ http://www.sloanlongway.org/Buick-Gallery aspect of MAP. And, the boat http://www.themackinaw.org/ and submarine http://silversidesmuseum.org/ too. For those reading this message whose tastes are more refined and sophisticated than mine, which should be everyone and anyone who is reading this message, we also have as MAP partners Michigan's two largest art museums, http://www.dia.org/ and http://www.flintarts.org/ as well as live theatre http://www.wildswantheater.org/ and http://www.stagecrafters.org/ as well as music too http://www.chambermusicdetroit.org/ and http://www.michiganphil.org/ MAP Year 2 will go live on Saturday, May 24. Please note that if you or your patrons see something in MAP that just doesn't look right, that could well be because it isn't right! I say that on account a great deal of work went into building the MAP database. With 100+ participating cultural partners, and 638 individual library buildings, and five passes per week per cultural partner per library building, you can probably appreciate that there was plenty of opportunity for error during the backend building of the MAP database. We'd like to think we've worked all of the bugs out of it, but I am not naive enough to claim that we are certain that we have. So if we've spelled the name of your library incorrectly, or if we failed to link all of the thousands of passes for your library, or...just send me an email describing the nature of the issue, and we will correct it. Let's keep in mind that MAP is a partnership. How can you help? Promote, promote, promote! Share the press release with your local media. Print the forthcoming, updated brochure and distribute same to your patrons. And, very importantly, if your library is located in a community in which one of our MAP partner institutions resides, stop in and say "thank you for your support of the Michigan Activity Pass program." Without our cultural partners, there is no MAP. MAP is not a static program. By that I mean that if you come across potential cultural partners in your service area that are not on board with MAP, and would like to be, please tell them about it, and refer them to me. We can and will add new venues to MAP at any time during the year. We, TLN and its cultural partners, appreciate your support and promotion of and on behalf of, the Michigan Activity Pass program. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks.

[Description: Inline image 1] If you could save a life, would you? Most people would say "Yes!" without hesitation. One of the simplest ways to save and improve lives is by supporting organ, tissue and eye donation. For the past four years, libraries across Michigan have participated in a simple and effective campaign to educate patrons about donation and transplant, and to give them an opportunity to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry. The campaign is called Michigan Libraries for Life. This effort, which began with the University of Michigan's Taubman Health Sciences Library, and has expanded to include public, academic, special, and hospital libraries across the state. This collaborative effort has inspired more than 1,900 people to sign up as donors! "We've received great feedback from library staff," said Richard Pietroski, Gift of Life Michigan's CEO. "They appreciate having an easy yet meaningful way to engage their patrons in saving and improving lives. Michigan Libraries for Life gives hope to the 3,200 Michigan patients waiting for a life-saving organ transplant." More than 95% of Americans support organ, tissue and eye donation. Yet in Michigan only 44% of adults have joined the state's donor registry, slightly less than the 47% national average. That discrepancy is largely due to residents not knowing how to properly join the Registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that informational need in our state. "Someone you know probably needs - or will someday need - a lifesaving organ or tissue transplant. People die waiting because not enough organs are available. Your library can be a great help by registering donors and/or providing awareness about organ donation," said Anne Rau, librarian and living kidney donor. "By participating in Michigan Libraries for Life your library is helping to save lives." We are excited to bring this life-saving event back in 2014! Libraries are welcome to participate for as many hours as they are able to staff a registration table in their libraries, from 2 hours to 7 days. This year's drive will start on Monday, October 6th and run through Sunday, October 12th. Gift of Life Michigan will provide free in-person training for library representatives at their Ann Arbor office on Friday, August 22nd. We are also developing training materials for institutions that are unable to attend the in-person session. "I enjoyed taking part in this well-orchestrated event," commented one librarian. "I hope to participate again next year." The key to this program's success is the participation of dozens of libraries. Your library is warmly invited to join the 2014 Michigan Libraries for Life organ donor registration drive. If your organization would like to participate in this year's effort, please contact us at MichLib4Life at umich.edu or (734) 936-1394 to receive more information.

Southfield, MI 48033 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 2014 Every person a Picasso; Talk looks back at Paint by Number craze Paint by Numbers, a craft fad that became popular in the 1950s, is the subject of the May 22nd program of the Southfield Historical Society. The Paint by Numbers kits were developed by Max Klein of the Palmer Paint Company of Detroit and commercial artist Dan Robbins. Following World War II Americans found themselves with more leisure time due to the move to a 40-hour work week and the rise in modern conveniences. In turn, people had more time to pursue travel, hobbies, sports and crafts. The ?how to? craze took hold. Among the most popular was Paint by Number. Over 12 million kits were sold. Today, the kits and paintings are highly collectable and have made their way into the Smithsonian and the Museum of Modern Art. While there are a number of imitators, vintage kits and paintings can still be found at yard sales and on Amazon.com and eBay. Southfield resident Skip Davis, one of the nation?s leading collectors of Paint by Number paintings, will present numerous pieces from his collection and give an overview of this ?how to? craze. Davis is a long-time friend of Dan Robbins. The Paint by Numbers program will be held on Thursday, May 22 at 7pm in the Historic Church at the Southfield Burgh (Civic Center Drive & Berg Road). Tickets are $5, payable at the door, or admission is free with Southfield Historical Society membership of $8 (student/senior) or $10 (individual). The public is invited to attend. ### Kelly Ireland Rembert Outreach Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Rd.

It was bigger than our old one, but we have already come across the problem of not enough room. We hold items on our shelves for 7 days total and allow our patrons to reserve 40 items. We tried moving the holds for patrons with a lot of them behind the desk, but after only a week had complaints about this. I am considering shortening the time holds are held for or lower the number of holds they can have. Has anyone else ever had an issue with not enough space on their hold shelf and what did you do to fix the issue? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Of the nine current partners that are not (yet) included in MAP Year 2, none of them has contacted me to say they are NOT interested. Rather, they haven't responded to my inquiries. How can you help bring these "lost" partners back to the MAP fold? Well, if your library is located in or near the community of any of these nine venues, and particularly if you have an "in" with any of them, please feel free to reach out to them on behalf of MAP! We are looking for help with: http://www.troyhistoricvillage.org/ http://www.scarabclub.org/ http://www.thecarrcenter.org/ https://www.historicprisontours.com/ http://www.midwestminiaturesmuseum.com/ http://www.maryscityofdavid.org/ http://www.wexfordcountyhistory.org/ http://www.baymillsbrimleyhistory.org/ http://www.skihall.com/ What if, after you've reached out to these partners and sold them on the many benefits MAP provides to their institution in terms of increased exposure and the like, they decide to re-join, but the May 24, 2014 go-live date for MAP Year 2 has already passed? No problem. We can add new partner venues at any time, as TLN has admin privileges at all levels of the MAP software. Bring 'em on! And the same goes for any other potential partner in or near your community you feel would be a good "fit" for MAP. Yesterday, IMLS released a report showing the number of museums by state http://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/MUDF_StateDist_2014q3.pdf Michigan has approximately 1,100 museums. So, we have approximately 10% of these as MAP partners. Pretty good, but that means there are 1,000 others out there! Thanks for your (recruiting) help with the MAP.

Then, we offer notifications via phone, email, or text. What do you do when you know the patron isn't the one with the email address or text number? For example, a child who is two years old cannot read email or a text. (We don't require parental signature with kids cards...just that the parent is with the child when signing them up, so we don't have that element of implied or extended authorization). What do other libraries do?

In September 2012, the Michigan State Parks and Outdoor Recreation Blue Ribbon Panel submitted a report to Governor Rick Snyder that included heritage resources in its vision for a vibrant system of parks, trails and recreation throughout our state. The first paragraph reads: "Michigan's natural resources are the foundation of a world-class parks and outdoor recreation system. The state's abundant, high-quality, and-in many instances-globally unique natural, cultural, historic and prehistoric resources include the Great Lakes and beaches, inland lakes and streams, grass lands, forests, and historic and cultural sites (such as battlefields, lighthouses, ancient burial grounds and birthplaces of notable Michigan residents). These must be protected and enhanced to grow Michigan's economy and improve the well-being of our residents and visitors." Last year, an ad hoc group of regional and statewide heritage organization leaders was convened by the Michigan Historical Commission, the Historical Society of Michigan and the Michigan Historical Center, calling itself the Michigan Heritage Leadership Council. It began meeting to discuss ways our sector can contribute to the vision set out by this report. One avenue is to increase the incorporation of cultural heritage resources into trails and parks. A first step toward achieving this goal is to get a better handle on what is already going on across the state. This is where you come in. Please take a few minutes to answer the eight questions on the Survey Monkey questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SWTX2QB. The survey also gives you an opportunity to indicate interest in working on this goal in your part of the state. For more information on the Michigan Heritage Leadership Council's thinking, see http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-54463-325084--,00.html.

Please share this invitation to other libraries that may be interested... http://thlibrary.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/michigan-libraries-for-life-2014-an-invitation-to-all-libraries-in-michigan/ [ml4l_logo] If you could save a life, would you? Most people would say ?Yes!? without hesitation. One of the simplest ways to save and improve lives is by supporting organ, tissue and eye donation. For the past four years, libraries across Michigan have participated in a simple and effective campaign to educate patrons about donation and transplant, and to give them an opportunity to join the MichiganOrgan Donor Registry. The campaign is called Michigan Libraries for Life. This effort, which began with the University of Michigan?s Taubman Health Sciences Library, and has expanded to include public, academic, special, and hospital libraries across the state. This collaborative effort has inspired more than 1,900 people to sign up as donors! ?We?ve received great feedback from library staff,? said Richard Pietroski, Gift of Life Michigan?s CEO. ?They appreciate having an easy yet meaningful way to engage their patrons in saving and improving lives. Michigan Libraries for Life gives hope to the 3,200 Michigan patients waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.? More than 95% of Americans support organ, tissue and eye donation. Yet in Michigan only 44% of adults have joined the state?s donor registry, slightly less than the 47% national average. That discrepancy is largely due to residents not knowing how to properly join the Registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that informational need in our state. ?Someone you know probably needs ? or will someday need ? a lifesaving organ or tissue transplant. People die waiting because not enough organs are available. Your library can be a great help by registering donors and/or providing awareness about organ donation,? said Anne Rau, librarian and living kidney donor. ?By participating in Michigan Libraries for Lifeyour library is helping to save lives.? We are excited to bring this life-saving event back in 2014! Libraries are welcome to participate for as many hours as they are able to staff a registration table in their libraries, from 2 hours to 7 days. This year?s drive will start on Monday, October 6th and run through Sunday, October 12th. Gift of LifeMichigan will provide free in-person training for library representatives at their Ann Arbor office on Friday, August 22nd. We are also developing training materials for institutions that are unable to attend the in-person session. ?I enjoyed taking part in this well-orchestrated event,? commented one librarian. ?I hope to participate again next year.? The key to this program?s success is the participation of dozens of libraries. Your library is warmly invited to join the 2014 Michigan Libraries for Life organ donor registration drive. If your organization would like to participate in this year?s effort, please contact us at MichLib4Life at umich.edu or (734) 936-1394 to receive more information.

This partially on account EBSCO handles more titles than Popular does. A smaller library that buys relatively few and only the most common titles probably would realize a savings by utilizing Popular. A library the size of GDL might end up seeing said savings being eaten up, and then some, in staff time by having to direct order titles that Popular doesn't handle. EBSCO is EBSCO; they are the biggest and, in my 26+ years of experience, usually the most expensive. Wolper does offer outstanding customer service. They helped us make a very smooth transition following the Faxon implosion debacle of a number of years ago. Another vendor to consider is WT Cox.

Our boundaries follow the school district?s lines mostly, but there are some variances and even the school district?s lines are rather convoluted. Right now we are using an incorrect map and a combination of school district map, plat maps and the county?s online parcel search, which is complicated. I?d like to have a digital copy, but be able to print it out township by township as well so that we can see down to a parcel level. (This is necessary, as there are parcels that are out and parcels that are in all sandwiched next to each other.) Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We welcome children, parents, caregivers, librarians and teachers to participate in our 10th program year. In our 2014 book, Acoustic Rooster learns about music, teamwork and sportsmanship. After realizing he can't win the barnyard talent contest as a solo act with such fierce competition, a rooster with a love for jazz looks to help from other animals. A quartet with an unbelievable sound is created, with their ability to work together cleverly captured in this book with rhyming text, references to key American musicians, and vivid illustrations. Look at http://www.michigan.gov/michiganreads for more information and materials over the summer as we post the author and illustrator tour locations, press release and many other materials. The programming guide with activities and materials for infant, toddler, preschool and K-2 (aligned to the Common Core State Standards) is available now for those interested in planning library and classroom activities. We have also a wide range of resources and information for librarians and teachers and parents and caregivers on early literacy at the site that have been completely updated. Come take a look!

Of the 108, 55 were partners last year, which represents an 89% renewal rate of last year's list of 62 venues. This, along with the fact that we have brought on board for MAP 53 brand new partner venues, tells me that museums and cultural institutions place great value on their participation in your program. We've marketed and promoted (hyped?) MAP very heavily recently, via a variety of listservs. You've indulged us in that regard, and your rewards for said indulgence are two: 1. MAP goes live May 24, 2014! 2. This should be our final MAP-related message for the foreseeable future. Promotional material for MAP can be found here: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ The brochure was re-designed last week and as such, it does not include the names of a couple of new MAP partners that joined the program this week. The popular MAP brochure 2014 will be updated in the very near future so as to include all partner venues that are listed in the press release. MAP passes can be reserved as much as 14 days in advance. In looking at the pass reservations during the past two weeks, I was very pleased to see that passes are already being circulated for some of our new partners, such as the Gilmore Car Museum, the Michigan Science Center, and the Nokomis Learning Center. Also, I've seen MAP passes circulate in libraries for the upcoming year of MAP 2, which had very limited or in some cases no, MAP pass activity in Year 1. This morning I will speak with a librarian at Indianapolis Public Library, subject MAP. They want to start their own MAP program, heard about our program, perhaps via the press release that appeared in American Libraries Direct, and reached out to us for advice. Thank you for your support, promotion and indulgence of our MAP-related hype during the past several months, and please let me know if you have any questions.

If so, there may be a few options. I know Learning Ally has audio books to help study for the GED. There is a fee for this service and I believe proof of a learning disability is needed in order to sign up but I don?t know the specifics of this. https://www.learningally.org Also, the Braille and Talking Book Library could potentially be a resource. We do serve patrons with reading disabilities, but it does have to be certified by a doctor in order to get the patron signed up. If he qualifies the service is completely free. I don?t believe we have GED books in our collection but we can usually get books from Learning Ally for free for our patrons. http://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-61256_28313_54234---,00.html Bookshare may also be an option.

I will remove the listing for the PNT from the MAP website. It is a sad day indeed when one of our cultural partners has to cease operations. http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/05/performance_network_theatres_b.html Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Flury" To: "everyone" , "michlib-l" , "directors" , "coopdirs" Sent: Friday, May 23, 2014 8:14:17 AM Subject: [Everyone] Michigan Activity Pass Year 2: Go-Live is Saturday, May 24, 2014 All, Unless you've been living under a rock, or in Ohio, during the past several months I'm sure you are aware that the second year of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program will kick off tomorrow, Saturday, May 24, 2014 at http://michiganactivitypass.info MAP Year 2 is bigger, and better, with 108 participating venues, the complete list of which is included in the attached press release. Of the 108, 55 were partners last year, which represents an 89% renewal rate of last year's list of 62 venues. This, along with the fact that we have brought on board for MAP 53 brand new partner venues, tells me that museums and cultural institutions place great value on their participation in your program. We've marketed and promoted (hyped?) MAP very heavily recently, via a variety of listservs. You've indulged us in that regard, and your rewards for said indulgence are two: 1. MAP goes live May 24, 2014! 2. This should be our final MAP-related message for the foreseeable future. Promotional material for MAP can be found here: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ The brochure was re-designed last week and as such, it does not include the names of a couple of new MAP partners that joined the program this week. The popular MAP brochure 2014 will be updated in the very near future so as to include all partner venues that are listed in the press release. MAP passes can be reserved as much as 14 days in advance. In looking at the pass reservations during the past two weeks, I was very pleased to see that passes are already being circulated for some of our new partners, such as the Gilmore Car Museum, the Michigan Science Center, and the Nokomis Learning Center. Also, I've seen MAP passes circulate in libraries for the upcoming year of MAP 2, which had very limited or in some cases no, MAP pass activity in Year 1. This morning I will speak with a librarian at Indianapolis Public Library, subject MAP. They want to start their own MAP program, heard about our program, perhaps via the press release that appeared in American Libraries Direct, and reached out to us for advice. Thank you for your support, promotion and indulgence of our MAP-related hype during the past several months, and please let me know if you have any questions.

I've registered our library and have some ideas for our campaign but don't have the specifics yet. Does your library have any Geek swag that you'd like to part with (buttons, magnets, posters, etc)? I'd be happy to take anything related to Geek the Library off your hands. Thanks, Matt Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library 3155 Coolidge Hwy.

They are Applewood Estate http://www.ruthmottfoundation.org/applewood/ and Plymouth Community Arts Council http://www.plymoutharts.com/ Plymouth Community Arts Council is the coordinator of, among other things, the Music in the Park in Kellogg Park. PCAC saw our press release in the Plymouth Observer and contacted us, asking how they could become one of our "amazing collection of participants" (their words). If you've never heard of Applewood, then you probably didn't grow up in or near Flint. Applewood is the name of the estate of the late Charles Stewart Mott, who went on to become the largest individual shareholder of the General Motors Corporation (yes, his family made applesauce before it started making axles for cars, which proved to be much more profitable). Mr. Mott was known for his overall frugality (you could see him driving his Corvair around town at a time (late 1960's) when others of his ilk were driving Cadillacs; if you'd like to see the Corvair it is on display at another of our MAP partners http://sloanlongway.org/Sloan-Museum) but also his specific generosity toward his adopted hometown of Flint. If there were such a thing as a Patron Saint of Flint, Mr. Mott was it.

Kellogg Foundation to achieve its project "Expanding the Story: Engaging Michigan's Urban, Minority, and Underserved Communities." This $300,000 grant will allow HSM to accomplish two significant objectives: 1) to continue the work of its original Kellogg Foundation grant to more fully engage Michigan's minority and undeserved communities in the appreciation of state history, and 2) to begin a new initiative to re-launch Michigan History for Kids magazine. The grant period will be from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2016. "We are very happy that a major element of this grant will enable us to bring back Michigan History for Kids," said Larry J. Wagenaar, Executive Director of the Society. "Besides being an important tool for the study of history for elementary-age children, this magazine will feature lessons in history that reflect the diversity of our state." Geared toward students in the third and fourth grades, Michigan History for Kids will be launched in several stages. "We will be working from the ground up on this magazine," continued Wagenaar. "From hiring a new Education Outreach Director and Editor of Michigan History for Kids who will oversee the project to developing content that reflects the stories of all Michigan peoples, Michigan History for Kids and its related efforts will be a huge undertaking, but one we are looking forward to bringing to fruition." The Education Outreach Director and Editor of Michigan History for Kids will also assist with education outreach by developing curriculum, in tandem with teachers, that ties together school requirements with content from the magazine, the Michigan History Day (National History Day in Michigan) competition, and other educational initiatives of the Society. The re-launch for Michigan History for Kids is expected to include the debut of a digital version that children will be able to access over the Internet. A print version will also be available. Limited availability of Michigan History for Kids is expected in the fall of 2014 as HSM undertakes a "soft launch" with select schools to allow for feedback and improvements in preparation for larger scale availability in 2015. The grant will also continue the work of HSM's original Kellogg Foundation grant, "Exploring the History of All Michigan Peoples," which ended December 31, 2013. This round will see support and increased services for Michigan's minority and undeserved communities through a multitude of channels. First, HSM will extend in-depth field services and professional consulting to organizations that are focused on preserving and interpreting minority history so that they become sustainable institutions within their communities. Second, outreach to communities with high populations of minority students will continue so that more children will be able to participate in the Michigan History Day competitions. There will also be opportunities for after-school clubs and schools to receive additional support in order to partake in the Michigan History Day program. Third, HSM will continue to offer diverse content in every facet of its publications, conferences, and workshops.

On first reading, there seems to be very little changed by this Bill other than eliminating the sunset clause for school districts, and correcting the definition of "Department" to mean "Department of Education" instead of HAL. However, I notice that the last three lines of the Bill redefine "State Librarian" as "the Department" (department having already been defined as the Department of Education). I cannot help but wonder why this change is included. Does this reflect an erosion of the role and responsibilities of the State Librarian? Should we oppose this language?

It is now PA 131 of 2014. Directors of PA 164 libraries should inform the /members/ (no longer directors) of their /governing/ boards about the changes which mostly establish for the first time the circumstances that define when the office of a board member becomes vacant. Directors of PA 164 libraries in townships with elected boards should be further aware that the Michigan Election Law, PA 116 of 1954 contains language that is incompatible with the provisions of PA 164 as now amended by PA 131. Section 358 of the Michigan Election defines who are elected township officers, including, per section 358(1)(f), "...6 free [PA 164] public library directors." Section 368 then defines the events that create a vacancy if the office of a township officer which per 358(1)(f) includes those PA 164 library directors. Finally, section 370 provides that vacancies in office of township officers shall be filled, "... by appointment by the township board,..." Simply stated: As amended by the new PA 131, both PA 164 and PA 116 now contain provisions that define when the office of PA 164 board member becomes vacant, and how such a vacancy is to be filled. I doubt that this will be too much of a problem except possibly in townships where the library board and the township board are not on the best of terms. However, the next time an amendment to PA 116 is seriously being considered by the legislature, the library community should probably ask that Section 358(1)(f) be repealed to resolve the incompatibility.

Wagenaar) Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 13:43:36 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] Society Receives Kellogg Grant to Fund Diversity Efforts and Michigan History for Kids Magazine Message-ID: <01b001cf7b65$905f6d00$b11e4700$@org> May 28, 2014 Society Receives Kellogg Grant to Fund Diversity Efforts and Michigan History for Kids Magazine The Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a grant by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to achieve its project "Expanding the Story: Engaging Michigan's Urban, Minority, and Underserved Communities." This $300,000 grant will allow HSM to accomplish two significant objectives: 1) to continue the work of its original Kellogg Foundation grant to more fully engage Michigan's minority and underserved communities in the appreciation of state history, and 2) to begin a new initiative to re-launch Michigan History for Kids magazine. The grant period will be from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2016. "We are very happy that a major element of this grant will enable us to bring back Michigan History for Kids," said Larry J. Wagenaar, Executive Director of the Society. "Besides being an important tool for the study of history for elementary-age children, this magazine will feature lessons in history that reflect the diversity of our state." Geared toward students in the third and fourth grades, Michigan History for Kids will be launched in several stages. "We will be working from the ground up on this magazine," continued Wagenaar. "From hiring a new Education Outreach Director and Editor of Michigan History for Kids who will oversee the project to developing content that reflects the stories of all Michigan peoples, Michigan History for Kids and its related efforts will be a huge undertaking, but one we are looking forward to bringing to fruition." The Education Outreach Director and Editor of Michigan History for Kids will also assist with education outreach by developing curriculum, in tandem with teachers, that ties together school requirements with content from the magazine, the Michigan History Day (National History Day in Michigan) competition, and other educational initiatives of the Society. The re-launch for Michigan History for Kids is expected to include the debut of a digital version that children will be able to access over the Internet. A print version will also be available. Limited availability of Michigan History for Kids is expected in the fall of 2014 as HSM undertakes a "soft launch" with select schools to allow for feedback and improvements in preparation for larger scale availability in 2015. The grant will also continue the work of HSM's original Kellogg Foundation grant, "Exploring the History of All Michigan Peoples," which ended December 31, 2013. This round will see support and increased services for Michigan's minority and underserved communities through a multitude of channels. First, HSM will extend in-depth field services and professional consulting to organizations that are focused on preserving and interpreting minority history so that they become sustainable institutions within their communities. Second, outreach to communities with high populations of minority students will continue so that more children will be able to participate in the Michigan History Day competitions. There will also be opportunities for after-school clubs and schools to receive additional support in order to partake in the Michigan History Day program. Third, HSM will continue to offer diverse content in every facet of its publications, conferences, and workshops.

I am currently attending MLA's Academic Libraries Conference, an excellent event thanks to the hard work of the Academic Libraries Conference Work Group and MLA staff. Attending this conference and the Library of Michigan's recent Small and Rural Libraries Conference has been very helpful as I prepare to become MLA's President-Elect on July 1. Chatting with librarians from varying backgrounds and types of libraries has reinforced my belief that we share many values, challenges and opportunities. At both conferences I have heard that there is strong interest in looking for new ways for librarians to engage with each other and with MLA. Several people have said that the current Community of Practice structure is not serving their needs for collaboration, innovation and involvement. I have also heard that there is strong interest in finding ways that communities of interest can develop (and end) as our needs change. I've started talking to Asante Cain, who will soon be MLA's President, MLA Executive Director Gail Madziar, and others about the need to review MLA's opportunities for community and engagement. The restructuring that happened several years ago was crucial to the organization's well-being. It's now been in place long enough to evaluate it and, if necessary, make changes to serve current needs. PROPOSAL I intend to propose to the MLA Board as soon as possible that we create a multitype task group to review MLA's opportunities for group leadership and engagement. My thought is that the task group will work with a variety of constituents and recommend to the Board any changes needed to ensure that groups meet members' current needs and have clear processes for starting, growing and ending as needed. I anticipate that we will be able to build on the strengths of our current structure, including the committees, work groups, ACRL chapter, etc., to develop an even stronger organization. I'd love to hear comments or suggestions regarding this proposal (or anything else). It's a tremendous honor and privilege to be elected to serve you. I look forward to working with all of you.

I honestly didn't realize that any of them were/are still active. It seems like we had a trial year for CoPs and then I thought we moved on, i.e. I thought they all kind of ended. So, from that perspective, although I thought CoPs would be great I have not seen them as engaging to the membership; maybe others have continued to be involved in this way. CoPs aside, I really like the new committee and work group structures and have appreciated the annual call to volunteer for these groups. I have found this a great way to be involved in the work of the organization and to have leadership opportunities. I also enjoy the professional development and achievement opportunities with training, workshops, and conference presentation opportunities. I would like a forthcoming work group or task force to examine if there are enough service and presentation opportunities for all of the membership that is interested. I would also like them to examine a new or revived way for fostering community (membership) engagement. -Steve Steven K.

Or if MAP is the new, online version of Mi Big Green Gym/Park and Read. Or... I was thinking about this on this beautiful Saturday morning, so before I get into the Saturday routine of chasing the lawnmower around the yard, re-filling the goldfinch and hummingbird feeders, etc and most importantly, before I forget about both (not the hummingbirds and goldfinches but rather, MAP and Mi Big Green Gym) before Monday morning work inevitably rolls around again, I thought I'd take a minute to address this. The Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) and Mi Big Green Gyms/Park and Read programs are NOT one in the same. Both programs do share a common theme, that being to enhance the quality of life of your public library patrons, which in turn serves to raise awareness of, interest in not to mention support of, public libraries. From there, the programs differ. Here is a brief description as to how: Mi Big Green Gym/Park and Read is a partnership between Michigan Recreation and Park Association, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The program is managed by Maia Turek at the DNR, email turekm at michigan.gov The program website is available at this link http://www.mrpaonline.org/Programs/MI-Big-Green-Gym#.U4nieihZjqc and the list of participating libraries can be seen by clicking this pdf http://www.mrpaonline.org/Portals/0/Big%20Green%20Gym/2014%20MBGG%20Participating%20Libraries.pdf In a nutshell, Mi Big Green Gym offers free passes through public libraries to nearly 100 state parks, with a program end date of September 30, 2014. The print material for the program, circulation cards, passes and the like, is shipped directly to libraries by the DNR. Your internal management practices for Mi Big Green Gym/Park and Read may differ, but we advise TLN member libraries to barcode the circulation cards, and check them out as with any other item. At checkout the patron is given the actual pass (not the circ card, although those have a tendency to grow legs/wings in libraries, too) to take with them to the park. The card that was checked out is set aside for a period of seven days, after which it is placed back into circulation. There is no expiration date, although the program itself ends September 30, 2014. This rotation ensures that your supply of Mi Big Green Gym/Park and Read passes will last until the program ends on September 30, 2014. I'll not pontificate about MAP today, having done so plenty enough already, other than to say that the Michigan Activity Pass is available at http://michiganactivitypass.info, and that MAP is a year round program which will run through May 23, 2015, and that it is an online program so patrons do all the work themselves, and that it offers 109 cultural partners, and that it is managed by The Library Network and that it receives some of its financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services via the Library of Michigan. Etc. The easiest question to answer is one posed to me by a public library last week: given a choice, which program should I make available to my patrons? My answer: Both! These are two worthy and worthwhile public library programs, and as such both should be given the publicity and promotion they deserve. Remember, for Mi Big Green Gym/Park and Read questions, or if your library is not included in the list of participating libraries, or if it is and you've yet to receive your materials, please contact Maia Turek at turekm at michigan.gov For MAP questions, well, based on the many posts to this listserv, you know who to contact. Off to the goldfinches and hummingbirds. Did you know that hummingbirds actually make noise? I didn't know this until we encountered a huge number of them at a place where we were staying in Glacier National Park a few years ago. The Montana hummingbirds were "squeaking" quite boisterously, dive-bombing each other, etc all in an effort to drive the competition away from the feeder. The hummingbirds that call our yard home seem more mellow, although I can't/won't make any guarantees regarding said civility if I don't attend to the feeders pretty soon... Thank you for your continued support and promotion of BOTH, the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) and Mi Big Green Gym/Park and Read, programs.
