While 750 is a nice, round number, if you've been reading our MAP-related messages you have probably come to the conclusion that MAP is not a program to rest on its laurels. Being as that is the case, we are always glad to preach the gospel of MAP to perspective new cultural partners. And of course if any of you are planning to build a new library, or if your district or municipality is adding a branch, we want to know all about that, too in order that we might welcome the new arrival into the family that is MAP. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

My Board has asked me to try to locate a 'consultant' who can take a look at our operational staffing needs from a standpoint of use of volunteers vs paid staff at the circulation desk. We currently use only volunteers to staff our circulation desk, and that is becoming increasingly difficult because not only because of the technical aspects of the service, but with the detailed knowledge required. So I am proposing an additional paid staff person who would be called a Circulation Clerk. The Board wonders if there is such a consultant who could outline the merits/benefits of having a paid staff, not replacing the volunteers, but rather supervising them, while being the primary contact with our patrons at the front desk. Does anyone know of such an animal out there? Appreciate your insights. . Sylvia Merz, Director Leland Township Library 203 E. Cedar St., P.O.

Regular price for this dvd is $195.00. TLN discounted price for Michigan libraries is $29.95. Please note that this price DOES NOT include public performance rights. Please see attached for details. Library cooperative directors, please share this with your member libraries. Below is what one TLN member library director had to say to his TLN library director colleagues regarding this dvd: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone, If you have not yet responded to Jim's e-mail, I thought I would pass along a few notes. TLN has negotiated a fantastic discount on this title. The $29.95 price represents an 85% discount from the direct price of $195 offered by the producer through their web site. While this price does not come with public performance rights, it still is a great addition to any collection. The film was awarded Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Documentary at the 2013 Uptown Film Festival in Birmingham, MI. I just thought I would add that to the mix if you were on the fence. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please have your orders to me by no later than Friday, October 31. We will invoice your library directly and ship the dvd to you via either TLN or RIDES delivery as appropriate. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

If it is InTransit status that means the lending library intended to send, did indeed check it out. If the book doesn't arrive at the borrowing library (if you aren't getting a bunch of books that have no matching request in the patron record) then this might be a symptom of books turning around in shipment. Book is InTransit, gets turned around and sent back to lender, lender checks it in and the request is gone from the Borrowing patron record. Could that be part of the problem?

I spoke with a reseller yesterday and he indicated that we could use Apps from a personal account legally but we may be eligible for the suite through Google. When I look on the Google site however, it just shows 501c(3) schools and universities as qualifying. The rest of us would be $5 per month or $50 per year per user.

First, our long-time consultant Linda Schatz will be at the Library of Michigan on November 20th for an all-day session on E-rate and the changes to the program. Time: 8:00 - 4:30. Cost: $30. This session will solely contain library-specific information. The class will cover the changes to the E-rate program and information needed by new and experienced E-rate filers to get ready for this exciting new time in the E-rate program. Participation is limited to staff from Michigan libraries. You can register for it here: http://www.solutionwhere.com/lom/cw/showcourse.asp?61. In addition, the Michigan Department of Education has graciously invited Michigan library staff to attend the regional training that they are providing in six locations during October and November. Individuals well-versed in E-rate will be presenting the training along with a representative from E-rate Central. At each location, there will be a two-hour session on the changes coming to E-rate in the morning from 10:10 to 12:10: "Come learn how the Universal Service Fund (USF) E-rate program is evolving in its Funding Year 2015. This funding year is anticipated to be the first of several years in which there are going to be changes that will dramatically affect the E-rate program. Better known as E-rate 2.0 these changes will transform the program. Anticipate positive and negative impacts to the scope and what services are eligible for funding" And a two-hour session in the afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00: "designed for those who are new to the E-rate process or those who would like to rejuvenate their skills. This training will go over the basics of the form 470 and 471 and also the changes for the 2015 funding year." You are welcome to attend morning, afternoon, or both. Training is free to attendees. Lunch is provided by the consortia host. To register for the locations below that are provided through MDE, email Debbie Kopkau at dkopkau at msbo.org. Include: Your Name, Your Library, Contact Information, the Location you want to attend, and whether you are attending for the morning, afternoon, or both These sessions hold only 30 people each; please register promptly if you plan to attend.

Sturgeon > MLIS Candidate - Wayne State University > Cataloger/Melcat Services > Vicksburg District Library > Joanna, When subbing I haven't had the need to promote Project Gutenberg, however I have had other reasons to use and promote it. It's a great way to find Public Domain material. On my weekly storytelling blog, I frequently post stories in a series I call Keeping the Public in Public Domain and, if an online source of the entire book from which the story originates is available, I include the link. A great many of those books are on Project Gutenberg. I also enjoy downloading many of those folklore anthologies to my e-reader as it lets me carry them with me as easily a paperback. Thanks to Project Gutenberg I can be even in a foreign country and access stories to create a program that matches the needs of a specific audience. I've done this several times. Repeatedly I've also seen fellow storytellers around the world don't always have access to the library and bookstore resources we have, but Project Gutenberg can help. Hope this helps with your assignment and if I can be of further assistance, please feel free to get in touch. -- Lois Sprengnether Keel Website:, Blog:, and posting Detroit newspaper accounts of Michigan's "Fighting Fifth" Civil War Infantry at the pace they appeared 150 years ago at * Storyteller in MI Arts and Humanities Directory * In Historical Society of Michigan Directory * State Liaison for National Storytelling Network * Webmaster for -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Last year I put out an inquiry regarding resources for staff tech assessments. I received several responses. There were some nice suggestions regarding online packaged tests and services. Many of the responses requested would I please share my findings. There are some great packaged tests out there, but not suited to our needs. We ended up creating our own assessment using Microsoft Infopath (a module of Microsoft Office). We do not expect staff to be experts by any means, but there are some core competencies which are required to do this job, and we wanted to make sure we were in good shape. The assessment included questions on the ILS, phone usage, flash drives, file/folder management, databases, ebooks, and more. The Infopath file (a fill-able form) was emailed to staff, who then saved it to their desktop. When the file is double-clicked, a new instance of the blank assessment is created, which is then completed, saved, and emailed back to admin. It worked very nicely. Upon review of the completed assessments, we had one big surprise: over half of the staff thought our public WI-FI access required a password, when in fact it does not. We gave a WI-FI demo at the next staff meeting, following the assessment period. Another discovery: many staff members do not know how to place copy-specific holds for serial records, such as graphic novels and magazines. A staff person is putting together a class on this. We are very proud of our staff for their time and effort in taking the assessments, and the great attitudes during the process. They did a super job! We are in great shape to assist patrons and do the work we need to do. By the way, our director also took the assessment (hooray, Melissa!). Attached is a pdf version of our actual assessment. Feel free to contact me for more info. Yvonne Brown Lapeer District Library www.library.lapeer.org 810-664-9521 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I say potential on account the discount is dependent upon our getting a minimum number of libraries from each pop served class, one through six, to commit to a subscription. If we succeed in doing so the discounted pricing for Pronunciator will be quite attractive, especially for smaller libraries. For example, TLN's smallest library (I am excluding Oakland County Research Library here, which for state aid reporting purposes has a pop served of 19) is Franklin Public Library, with a pop served of 3,150. Should we meet the minimum number of class one libraries, Franklin would pay $73.00 annually for access to the Pronunciator database. Below is a link to an August 4 Library Journal article called Library Linguistics. The article gives a description of some of the various foreign language databases that are available for purchase, including Pronunciator: http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2014/08/digital-resources/library-linguistics/ To access our Pronunciator trial: 1.

Nevertheless I would like to be able to give Pronunciator an idea by no later than the end of October, if we are even going to come close to the minimums required for the discount. Even if we don't meet the minimum by then, my plan is to go back to Pronunciator and present the numbers that we do have, and see if they will extend the discounts based on those numbers. Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like a (potentially discounted) price quote. Thanks.

If it is InTransit status that means the lending library intended to send, did indeed check it out. If the book doesn't arrive at the borrowing library (if you aren't getting a bunch of books that have no matching request in the patron record) then this might be a symptom of books turning around in shipment. Book is InTransit, gets turned around and sent back to lender, lender checks it in and the request is gone from the Borrowing patron record. Could that be part of the problem?

If the book doesn't arrive at the borrowing library (if you aren't getting a bunch of books that have no matching request in the patron record) then this might be a symptom of books turning around in shipment. Book is InTransit, gets turned around and sent back to lender, lender checks it in and the request is gone from the Borrowing patron record. Could that be part of the problem?

Have the patrons in question updated their emails on their MeL accounts? (MeL issues a default email and patrons need to change them to their personal emails.) If the lending library can not fulfill the request, an email is sent to the patron to let them know that the request will be canceled. If MeL doesn't have the patrons' email, then it could look like what you have described -- the request would "disappear" and the receiving library would have no notice because there was nothing for them to receive. Every time I have had a patron complaint about dropped or missing MeL requests, this has turned out to be the case. I hope this helps.

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn about financial literacy. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2014, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 100 story times and gave away donated books to more than 3,000 families in 38 counties. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries. For more information and to find details on how your library can participate in the Money Smart Week initiative visit, https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SM2015. Randy Riley, State Librarian --------------------------------------------------- Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to give away free books to children attending a story time at your library between April 18-25, 2015! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to estate and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Between April 18-25, 2015, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! With the generous support of the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of The Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense book to give away to families participating in a story time you host during Money Smart Week, April 18-25. Michigan libraries in 85 districts successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year, giving away 3,300 books. This year's book is geared toward children, ages 4-7 years old. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/12168-the-berenstain-bears-dollars-and-sense#.VCP0xipXu7I What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register your library as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org . NOTE: if you registered as a Partner last year, you are still considered a Partner and will use the same username and password to login again this year. 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 18-25, 2015. Ideal age group: 4-7 year-olds. 3. Request to participate in this initiative and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing the Survey Monkey questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SM2015 before Friday, November 21. Once we review how many books have been requested, we will let you know by email how many copies of the book your library will receive to give away. 4. By January 1st, login and register your event at www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all of your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books in mid-March via the statewide delivery system (RIDES or TLN), and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Berenstein Bears Dollars and Sense book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! a. Note: The Dollars and Sense story is geared toward children 4-7 years old. So, if the age of the children attending your story time is younger than 4, you may choose to read a portion of the Dollars and Sense story and ask the parents to finish the story at home with their child. 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week website. www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too!) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many copies of the free books you can use by Friday, November 21! There is a limited budget, so it's first come, first served. In order to accommodate as many libraries as possible, some orders may be adjusted. If this occurs, you will be notified. The books will be shipped to Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the statewide delivery service (RIDES or TLN). Your order should arrive at your library mid-March. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SM2015 Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MichiganChair at MoneySmartWeek.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn about financial literacy. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2014, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 100 story times and gave away donated books to more than 3,000 families in 38 counties. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries. For more information and to find details on how your library can participate in the Money Smart Week initiative visit, . https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmartMoney2015. Randy Riley, State Librarian --------------------------------------------------- Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to give away free books to children attending a story time at your library between April 18-25, 2015! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to estate and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Between April 18-25, 2015, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! With the generous support of the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of The Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense book to give away to families participating in a story time you host during Money Smart Week, April 18-25. Michigan libraries in 85 districts successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year, giving away 3,300 books. This year's book is geared toward children, ages 4-7 years old. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/12168-the-berenstain-bears-dollars-and-sense#.VCP0xipXu7I What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register your library as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org . NOTE: if you registered as a Partner last year, you are still considered a Partner and will use the same username and password to login again this year. 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 18-25, 2015. Ideal age group: 4-7 year-olds. 3. Request to participate in this initiative and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing the Survey Monkey questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmartMoney2015 before Friday, November 21. Once we review how many books have been requested, we will let you know by email how many copies of the book your library will receive to give away. 4. By January 1st, login and register your event at www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all of your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books in mid-March via the statewide delivery system (RIDES or TLN), and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Berenstein Bears Dollars and Sense book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! a. Note: The Dollars and Sense story is geared toward children 4-7 years old. So, if the age of the children attending your story time is younger than 4, you may choose to read a portion of the Dollars and Sense story and ask the parents to finish the story at home with their child. 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week website. www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too!) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many copies of the free books you can use by Friday, November 21! There is a limited budget, so it's first come, first served. In order to accommodate as many libraries as possible, some orders may be adjusted. If this occurs, you will be notified. The books will be shipped to Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the statewide delivery service (RIDES or TLN). Your order should arrive at your library mid-March. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. . https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmartMoney2015.

The Muskegon area is located on the shore of Lake Michigan and is a popular destination with beautiful beaches, parks and lakes.

Late yesterday, Thursday, October 9 OverDrive released a brief statement that includes a link to one of the original articles, as well as the Adobe response. There is not a lot here, except that the statement does note that it is OverDrive's understanding that the issue concerns ADE 4, which is not used as part of the OD app. I am sharing this on account there are many OverDrive subscriber libraries in Michigan. I don't know if this information will be helpful to you when it comes to answering questions from your patrons regarding this issue. TLN administers a 46 library, soon to be 47 with the pending addition of Flat Rock Public Library, OverDrive group known as Download Destination http://tln.lib.overdrive.com/ To that end I've asked Mr. Brian Potash, Account Executive at OverDrive, to draft a response to us in regards to this issue. He has said he will do so.

Oops, did I just spill the beans and announce that there will be a MAP Year 3? Yep! Just as there is a Santa Claus, so too there WILL be a MAP Year 3. And we expect that the combination of your continued hard work to promote the program, the increased number of "likes" and "followers" for our social media campaign, not to mention the addition of said hot new venue next year, will make MAP Year 3 even more popular than ever. So, what is the hot new venue that we look forward to having as a MAP partner in Year 3? I can't tell you! (yet). I can tell you that they will be joining MAP for Year 3, albeit not at the start of MAP Year 3 when the program goes live on May 24, 2015. We expect the new cultural partner to be ready to go with MAP during the peak, hottest, checkout time for the program, which is July. Stay tuned for details regarding this exciting new cultural partner venue for MAP Year 3! As for current MAP Year 2, I ask all of you to congratulate yourselves. Why? Because your hard work to promote the program is making an amazing difference in terms of usage. What does this mean? Well, we are currently just shy of five months into MAP Year 2, and ytd MAP checkouts for this year vs the same time last year are UP, WAY UP, compared to the same time last year. How up is WAY up? How does a 31% INCREASE in MAP checkouts for the period May 24, 2014 through October 12, 2014 sound, vs the same period last year? That's way up! Let's keep it way up. How can you help? Well, have you liked our MAP page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP/510259192344845 or are you following us on Twitter? https://twitter.com/MapPass2014 Many of you and increasingly your patrons, are doing so. Also, in a couple of months it will be time for us to enter into "recruitment mode" when it comes to talking to our current (and new, as with said hot one) MAP partners as regards their intentions for Year 3. You can help by reaching out to currently participating as well as any potential new, MAP cultural venues in your communities, and extolling the virtues of the program in terms of the increased (not to mention free) visibility and publicity participation in the program brings to said MAP partners. To aid your efforts TLN has created all manner of cool MAP swag (posters, bookmarks, brochure) for you to use to promote the program, all of which is available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Feel free to share this material with your patrons, as well as with the MAP partner venues in your communities. While the Tigers may have disappointed us with their early exit from the playoffs, and while the Lions may be having trouble finding someone who can successfully kick a field goal (where is "Steady" Eddie Murray when you need him or, for the younger crowd, Jason Hanson) that doesn't mean it isn't too early for you to start swinging the bat and kicking the ball for MAP Year 3. With your help we can make this increasingly successful program even more popular in Year 3, than is the case in current MAP Year 2. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Message-ID: <543BE6ED.30607@sandusky.lib.mi.us> Good morning! We order a number of oversize paperbacks and have noticed some of the recent books have almost a fabric feel to them. Of course, the label and spine protectors that we use do not adhere very well to this type of surface. Does anyone have any suggestions (outside of covering the entire paperback, which we don't want to do) for getting our protectors to sticks? Any help would be much appreciated!

In particular, here are a couple questions we have: 1. Puzzles/games - How do you check for missing pieces? If they come back with missing pieces, do you charge a fee? 2. Puppets - How do you sanitize/clean after circulating? We would appreciate any thoughts and comments on non-traditional circulating collections. Thanks, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp.

These books were published circa the early 1960s (or maybe earlier) and featured b&w line drawings illustrating the person's life. The covers featured the same artwork, and the background color for each book jacket was a different color. I remember reading the book on Eleanor Roosevelt (blue/gray, I think) and the one on Abe Lincoln (tan). Amelia Earhart was also in the series. Big help, right? I poked around with keyword searches in library catalogs, but of course these books are long gone from library shelves. No luck with the Amazon marketplace either.

We assign the puzzle a number in our catalog and then on the back of each piece, we put that number on it in sharpie. This is in case we find a random puzzle piece on the floor, we know what puzzle it belongs to. We have the number of pieces in the puzzle on the marc record and also on the bag that the puzzle is housed in so the patrons can see how many pieces are in the bag. When a staff member goes to check it out or in, a message on the screen pops up saying "check for 25 pieces" or however many the puzzle has. If they do loose a piece, we will charge them full replacement costs since we obviously can't circ after that. Hope that helps and good luck! Our puzzles are pretty popular and it is a nice thing to offer to families.

In particular, here are a couple questions we have: 1. Puzzles/games - How do you check for missing pieces? If they come back with missing pieces, do you charge a fee? 2. Puppets - How do you sanitize/clean after circulating? We would appreciate any thoughts and comments on non-traditional circulating collections. Thanks, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp.

Message-ID: The State Board of Education approved a statement on support for school libraries yesterday (October 14th) at their Board meeting. [See below for the text of this statement.] I believe this is a great step forward in the effort to advocate for school libraries. Currently, Michigan ranks 46th nationally in the ratio of students per school librarian. In addition, based on National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 4th grade reading scores, Michigan is one of only six states that has negative reading improvement. I've attached a press release. Library partners -- if you have a chance to share this information in your communities; please do so. I believe we all work together to promote reading, information and technology literacy in our students and in our communities. A huge thank you to Michelle Fecteau, State Board of Education member, who was instrumental in getting the resolution on the agenda and gaining support from other board members. Michelle also brought up the effort to add School Libraries as one of the Best Practice funding items with the Board. [You may hear more about this later.] Thank you to Cathy Woolford who over a year ago suggested to MAME that Michelle Fecteau might be a 'friend' to school libraries! Thank you to Dr. Kafi Kumasi from Wayne State University and Jeanna Walker from Portage Schools, who along with myself, spoke at public comment in support of the statement. Thank you to Karren Reish, Library of Michigan, for all of her support on this and other advocacy issues... and for providing Superintendent Flanagan with the right words to support the statement. Thank you to Randy Riley, State Librarian, for supporting the resolution with Superintendent Flanagan and the Board. Thank you also to previous State Librarian, Nancy Robertson, for taking the SL21 benchmarks to the State Board of Education last year. Thank you to Deb Biggs-Thomas, Dian Walster, Tim Staal, Tom and LInda Stream, Lisa Brakels for being at the meeting to support the resolution. Thank you to other library supporters who could not be at the meeting, but sent their support. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your support in getting the word out about the importance of strong school libraries! -Kathy Lester *RESOLUTION* *The Michigan State Board of Education recognizes that school library media centers provide Michigan's students and staff equitable access to print and digital resources critical to supporting 21st century teaching and learning.* *The Board further recognizes that certified library media specialists serve a critical role in increasing student achievement by supporting, collaborating, and co-teaching with classroom teachers in reading development, in integrating information and technology literacy skills into the content curriculum, and in meeting the expectations for student research set forth in the Common Core State Standards.* *The Library of Michigan, an office of the Michigan Department of Education, has developed the "SL21 Measurement Benchmarks for Michigan School Libraries for 21st Century Schools" and calls for school administrators and school librarians to use the SL21 measures to assess the quality of school library programs in individual buildings.* *The Board supports these efforts and supports a call for all elementary and secondary students to have ready access to a library in their school with appropriate resources, programming and certified staff.* *------* Kathy Lester, MLIS, MA MAME President 2014 School Librarian/Technology Integrationist East Middle School, Plymouth-Canton Schools *2012 **State Librarian's Excellence Award Winner* kathyL at mimame.org cell: 810-333-5873 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Riley presents the annual award, including a prestigious trophy and $2,000 in privately donated funds, Thursday, October 16 during the Michigan Library Association's annual conference in Grand Rapids. "Year after year, Michigan's libraries consistently expand services and find new ways to serve their communities," said Riley. "The 2014 nominations demonstrate how creative, impactful and diverse libraries are across the state. Michigan libraries of all types are successfully focusing on what is unique about their communities and are successfully tailoring services to meet those evolving needs." The Library of Michigan Foundation and Library of Michigan (LM) present the State Librarian's Excellence Award and Citations of Excellence each year to highlight the importance of services provided by Michigan's libraries. Cromaine District Library in Hartland and the Dorr Township Library in Allegan County each get a trophy and $500 for winning a 2014 Citation of Excellence. The State Librarian's Excellence Award is sponsored by Roger Mendel and his late wife June Mendel. Gifts from Martin L. Gibbs, Carole Sorenson, and from Elaine M. Logan support the Citations of Excellence. "Grand Valley State University Libraries is thrilled to receive the 2014 State Librarian's Excellence Award," said Lee Van Orsdel, dean of GVSU Libraries. "Giving great service is a core commitment of our staff, and something we've worked hard to achieve. We are grateful to the Library of Michigan and Foundation for this wonderful affirmation of our efforts." GVSU Libraries serves a university community of more than 25,000 students at multiple campuses. The flagship campus in Allendale was chartered in 1960 and offers 200-plus areas of study. The Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons opened in 2013. The staff has paired 21st Century facilities with an innovative and student-centered service ethic. The organization offers innovative new technologies and the opportunity to try them in a supportive space. These include the Knowledge Market; the presentation practice rooms; Technology Showcase; and Open Everything exhibit. Evaluation factors for the State Librarian's Excellence Award are: * Demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in cost-effective manner; with a can-do attitude; and by always delivering on promises; and * Demonstrating the library's commitment to high standards of customer service through staff dealing with customers and the service community. In earning Citations of Excellence, Cromaine District Library of Hartland and Dorr Township Library of Allegan County also were recognized for their devotion to customer service. The Cromaine District Library is a Class V library in Hartland Township. It serves all of Hartland and parts of five other townships within the Hartland Consolidated School District. It also is a pilot for the Michigan Humanities Council's Muslim Voices grant, and was awarded its seventh Big Read grant. This entailed 45 events in less than six weeks, including a sponsored writing contest and a jazz concert series. Dorr Township Library is a Class III Library in Allegan County, serving a population of 7,500. The Library has undergone dramatic changes in the past year, providing signature programs such as the summer Comic Con; the annual Christmas concert; and DIY Your Spring Day. The building itself was completely transformed inside by volunteer help, moving every book and shelf, and adding a fireplace. It is now a comfortable place with easy-to-reach materials, a Book Sale Room, and a Community Art gallery. The library board agreed to continue to serve without pay when a few community members challenged the library's budget. They also are proposing to become a "teaching board" to help teens interact with local government. # # # The Library of Michigan is part of the Michigan Department of Education and is dedicated to providing the people of this State and their government one perpetual institution to collect and preserve Michigan publications, conduct reference and research and support libraries statewide.

Join your colleagues from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, January 30, 2015 at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Chicago.

The speakers will explore long term effects on our collections and how traditional collection development may be changing. Attendees will come away from this symposium with a greater understanding of how to implement new content and acquisition programs in their own libraries from these presentations: A presentation based on the article "Collection Directions: The Evolution of Library Collections and Collecting." (portal: Libraries and the Academy 14, no. 3 (2014): 393-423) * By one of its authors to be confirmed Demand-Driven Acquisition of Monographs from several perspectives * Steve Bosch, Andrew Meyer, Kathi Fountain, Michael Levine-Clark Unbundling journals by accessing articles on demand * Rick Anderson, Christina Mune, Steve Oberg New forms of content: What aren't we doing (or are just starting) that should be part of CD? * Kay Downey Panel Discussion: What is the future of collection development?

Wednesday October 29 7 PM Delta College Lecture Theater (room G160) This event at Delta College will give spectators the opportunity to re-live the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. Using the actual words of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, actors will rehash the debates over slavery, in the context of the time. This eye-opening event will raise awareness of attitudes toward slavery and race in the 19th century. Due to the sensitive nature of the material, the program is recommended for middle school-age through adult audiences. After the one-hour debate, audience members will be invited to ask questions of Lincoln and Douglas, played by Fred Priebe and Len Steinberg, respectively. This event is free and open to students and community members. Anne W.

I am glad to be able to share the news with you today that, a few days shy of five months in to Statewide MAP Year 2, you have circulated a bit more than 80% of the total number of MAP passes that were processed in the entire 12 month period of Statewide MAP Year 1. Nice work, everybody! My goal is to be able to report to you on the last workday prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, Wednesday, November 26, a couple of days past the halfway point of Statewide MAP Year 2, that you have circulated 100% of the number of passes in six months of this year's version of the program, that were checked out in the full 12 months of Statewide MAP Year 1. It won't be easy to reach our goal, as several of our popular partner venues, such as the lighthouses, have closed for the season. But I think we can get it done if we work together. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Volunteers of all ages are needed for tax preparation and support positions: ? Good with numbers? Be a tax volunteer ? Skilled in all things digital? Be a technology coordinator ? Organized? Help sort tax paperwork, distribute materials, etc. ? Love working with people? Be a greeter. ? Want to help us get the word out? Be a communications coordinator.

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn about financial literacy. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2014, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 100 story times and gave away donated books to more than 3,000 families in 38 counties. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries. For more information and to find details on how your library can participate in the Money Smart Week initiative visit, . https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmartMoney2015. Randy Riley, State Librarian --------------------------------------------------- Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to give away free books to children attending a story time at your library between April 18-25, 2015! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to estate and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Between April 18-25, 2015, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! With the generous support of the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of The Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense book to give away to families participating in a story time you host during Money Smart Week, April 18-25. Michigan libraries in 85 districts successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year, giving away 3,300 books. This year's book is geared toward children, ages 4-7 years old. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/12168-the-berenstain-bears-dollars-and-sense#.VCP0xipXu7I What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register your library as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org . NOTE: if you registered as a Partner last year, you are still considered a Partner and will use the same username and password to login again this year. 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 18-25, 2015. Ideal age group: 4-7 year-olds. 3. Request to participate in this initiative and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing the Survey Monkey questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmartMoney2015 before Friday, November 21. Once we review how many books have been requested, we will let you know by email how many copies of the book your library will receive to give away. 4. By January 1st, login and register your event at www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all of your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books in mid-March via the statewide delivery system (RIDES or TLN), and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Berenstein Bears Dollars and Sense book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! a. Note: The Dollars and Sense story is geared toward children 4-7 years old. So, if the age of the children attending your story time is younger than 4, you may choose to read a portion of the Dollars and Sense story and ask the parents to finish the story at home with their child. 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week website. www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too!) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many copies of the free books you can use by Friday, November 21! There is a limited budget, so it's first come, first served. In order to accommodate as many libraries as possible, some orders may be adjusted. If this occurs, you will be notified. The books will be shipped to Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the statewide delivery service (RIDES or TLN). Your order should arrive at your library mid-March. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. . https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmartMoney2015.

Bell will be recognized by Connect Michigan at this year?s 2014 Michigan Broadband Conference , to take place October 29th at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Lansing, Michigan. The conference is expected to be attended by more than 300 participants including community leaders from economic development, state and local government, education, libraries, healthcare, and technology to discuss best practices for expanding broadband and technology access, adoption, and use to revitalize Michigan?s economy. The Michigan Broadband Hero Award recognizes individuals, organizations, and companies working diligently to expand broadband and technology access, adoption, and use throughout the Great Lakes State. Bell, the library?s network administrator, has been instrumental in leading an effort with local township supervisors, libraries, schools, and other key representatives of townships in Western Washtenaw County to launch a common initiative to improve the availability of broadband (high speed Internet) service throughout the community. Sponsored by Rep. Gretchen Driskell, the group has been meeting since November 2012 and partnering with Connect Michigan to develop and execute a plan to bring better broadband service to residents, public institutions and local businesses. According to Bill Harmer, Director of the Chelsea District Library, ?Melanie has been a leader in this effort from day one. She has served as co-chair of the group and was instrumental in gathering and tabulating data from thousands of area residents about the current availability and use of broadband service across Western Washtenaw County.? The group that Bell leads has also met to establish general guidelines for possible new towers and antennas including placement, construction, and modification of antenna support structures, towers and telecommunication facilities used in support of Internet services, personal wireless services, and other communications. In addition, Bell has been working to address more immediate needs to expand Internet access to the public. One of the projects the library is exploring is distributing Wi-Fi hotspots to key locations within its service area so that the public may use them to access both the Internet and its online resources. The Library has plans this fall to use the Lyndon Township Hall as a pilot to test out this new service. Specifically they are looking to setup a Wi-Fi hotspot on the premises of Lyndon Township Hall. Recently, Bell joined the steering committee for BroadbandNow, a newly formed organization that works with local communities and Connect Michigan to enable high speed Internet connectivity for unserved and underserved regions of Michigan through a community-controlled open-access network. According to Harmer, ?providing equal access to information and resources is fundamental to the mission of the Chelsea District Library. Access to information empowers the community to learn new skills, explore new ideas, find employment, discover new business opportunities, and contribute to the community. With the *rural areas* of our service district poorly served by high-speed *broadband*, the library faces a considerable challenge in providing service to our patrons there.? *About Connect Michigan:* As the designated entity for broadband mapping and planning in the state of Michigan, Connect Michigan is a public-private partnership between the Michigan Public Service Commission and Connected Nation to work with local governments, businesses, and citizens in the goal of increasing broadband service in the state?s underserved areas.

Ms. Krebs was notified of an assignment that presents an unavoidable conflict for next week's presentation. She has to be on site for a forensic excavation in the U.P. on the 29th. The work involves both the organization of an investigative team and coordination with heavy equipment operators who need to schedule and transport the specialized vehicles/equipment they are using to the area to be excavated. She is being called in for the work, so her participation cannot be postponed or re-assigned to someone else. Ms. Krebs apologized for having to reschedule, but had no other choice. I hope you will be able to join us in February for this wonderful program.

Burdick All, TLN has arranged for discounted pricing for a bulk copy order of the multiple award winning dvd Transforming Loss. Regular price for this dvd is $195.00. TLN discounted price for Michigan libraries is $29.95. Please note that this price DOES NOT include public performance rights. Please see attached for details. Library cooperative directors, please share this with your member libraries. Below is what one TLN member library director had to say to his TLN library director colleagues regarding this dvd: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone, If you have not yet responded to Jim's e-mail, I thought I would pass along a few notes. TLN has negotiated a fantastic discount on this title. The $29.95 price represents an 85% discount from the direct price of $195 offered by the producer through their web site. While this price does not come with public performance rights, it still is a great addition to any collection. The film was awarded Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Documentary at the 2013 Uptown Film Festival in Birmingham, MI. I just thought I would add that to the mix if you were on the fence. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please have your orders to me by no later than Friday, October 31. We will invoice your library directly and ship the dvd to you via either TLN or RIDES delivery as appropriate. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

I would like to have this wrapped up by the end of October. Please let me know if you need a price quote, or have any questions. Thanks. Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All, TLN has arranged for potential discounted pricing of the Pronunciator database. I say potential on account the discount is dependent upon our getting a minimum number of libraries from each pop served class, one through six, to commit to a subscription. If we succeed in doing so the discounted pricing for Pronunciator will be quite attractive, especially for smaller libraries. For example, TLN's smallest library (I am excluding Oakland County Research Library here, which for state aid reporting purposes has a pop served of 19) is Franklin Public Library, with a pop served of 3,150. Should we meet the minimum number of class one libraries, Franklin would pay $73.00 annually for access to the Pronunciator database. Below is a link to an August 4 Library Journal article called Library Linguistics. The article gives a description of some of the various foreign language databases that are available for purchase, including Pronunciator: http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2014/08/digital-resources/library-linguistics/ To access our Pronunciator trial: 1. Click on 'Log in' at the top of the following page: http://www.pronunciator.com 2. Enter the following credentials: Login: tln Password: tln 3. Launch the application by clicking on the red "Launch Pronunciator" button. The same credentials work for the iPad, the iPhone/iPod touch, Android tablets, and Android phones: www.pronunciator.com/go-mobile/ There is no hard and fast deadline by which we need to have the minimum number of libraries. Nevertheless I would like to be able to give Pronunciator an idea by no later than the end of October, if we are even going to come close to the minimums required for the discount. Even if we don't meet the minimum by then, my plan is to go back to Pronunciator and present the numbers that we do have, and see if they will extend the discounts based on those numbers. Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like a (potentially discounted) price quote. Thanks.

A bad situation all around, for libraries that stand to lose money, for publishers that stand to lose money, for Swets employees who stand to lose their jobs (although I think I read somewhere that somebody, EBSCO perhaps, was planning to hire some former Swets employees), etc. One has to wonder in this continued age of migration away from print and to electronic, with Swets being the second major player to go under in a bit more than ten years, how much life the traditional library subscription agency/jobber/vendor model has left in it. Along these lines EBSCO is seeing the light with its Flipster model, and WT Cox with its partnership with Magzter. Zinio, from Recorded Books. And OverDrive is just about to get into the eMagazine and eNewspaper business.

I don't know any details other than what is outlined in the below link, but I do know that a scenario such as this can be a library subscription manager's worst nightmare, in that if the magazine jobber has taken in library money and not paid the publishers, not only will service end, the library will likely see little if any of its money when all is said and done. We speak from experience here. Almost exactly 12 years ago I started hearing/reading rumors that TLN's long-time serials jobber Faxon (aka RoweCom and aka divine) was experiencing financial difficulty. TLN had a check for a rather substantial amount of money for our Fall subscription renewals made out to Faxon, sitting in our safe and ready to go out in the mail. Our sober second thought was that in light of said rumors it would be a good idea to keep the check in the safe. At the end of the day this was the wise course of action. Faxon/RoweCom/divine was indeed insolvent. The company imploded, libraries all over the U.S. and the world didn't receive their magazines on account publishers had not been paid, and the libraries that had paid Faxon received only a token amount of their money back once the dissolution and distribution of assets of the insolvent company was complete. TLN was fortunate in that while our libraries did miss some magazine issues during the interim period while we contracted with a new jobber, we did not lose any money. Many companies that do business primarily or exclusively with libraries are privately held, which can make it difficult to obtain financial information about them. The Swets bankruptcy filing and the possible resulting nightmare scenario for its academic and special library customers worldwide should serve as a reminder and wake up call to our business. When issuing an rfp, make sure to include a provision that requires the responder to provide financial information. If you do not understand the financial information the responding company provides, ask your business office or your governing authority to review same. Do everything in your power to avoid having your institution become the next victim! http://www.infodocket.com/2014/09/22/netherlands-swets-files-for-bankruptcy/ 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 From susan.wess at milanlibrary.org Tue Oct 28 13:09:20 2014 From: susan.wess at milanlibrary.org (susan.wess at milanlibrary.org) Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:09:20 -0700 Subject: [Michlib-l] book offer Message-ID: <20141028100920.ffbcb5416f9dd84299d5e7741a08ba99.5e97ddbd39.wbe@email24.secureserver.net> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Each year beginning in 1919, the third week in November was designated as the time to celebrate good books for children. In 1978, Mary Calletto Rife, then head of the Children's Department of Kalamazoo Public Library, decided to expand the celebration into a seminar for librarians, teachers, students, and others with a desire to promote children's literature. The seminar was renamed in honor of Ms. Rife after she retired from the library at the end of 2001. Kalamazoo Public Library now leads a collaboration including Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College, the Kalamazoo Public Schools, and others in the community in producing this seminar each year. While the Children's Book Council, the national sponsor of Children's Book Week, moved their observance to the first two weeks of May in 2008, KPL continues to celebrate youth literature in November. KPL has hosted such youth literature luminaries as Laurie Halse Anderson, Christopher Paul Curtis, Kate DiCamillo, Sharon Flake, Angela Johnson, Steven Kellogg, Ron Koertge, Kadir Nelson, Jerry, Gloria Jean and Brian Pinkney, David Small and Sarah Stewart, Sonya Sones, Terry Trueman, and Tasha Tudor at previous seminars.

Kalamazoo Public Library now leads a collaboration including Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College, the Kalamazoo Public Schools, and others in the community in producing this seminar each year. While the Children's Book Council, the national sponsor of Children's Book Week, moved their observance to the first two weeks of May in 2008, KPL continues to celebrate youth literature in November. KPL has hosted such youth literature luminaries as Laurie Halse Anderson, Christopher Paul Curtis, Kate DiCamillo, Sharon Flake, Angela Johnson, Steven Kellogg, Ron Koertge, Kadir Nelson, Jerry, Gloria Jean and Brian Pinkney, David Small and Sarah Stewart, Sonya Sones, Terry Trueman, and Tasha Tudor at previous seminars.

Last week we had Larry Martin come and present for us. His program was called "Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words". This program is very interesting and definitely worth looking into! We had a great turn out and plan on having him back next year! You can reach Larry Martin on his website, http://lmww2.com/contact/.

The deadline to register is Friday, October 31. On November 6, 2014, the Cooperative Directors Association, the Library of Michigan, and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) will co-host a program instructing and preparing librarians on interacting with the media. For the low cost of $70/person (including lunch), you will work with public relations expert, Robert Kolt, of Kolt Communications, and his team on skills such as talking to the media, what to say and when to say it. Head of the journalism faculty at Wayne State University and Michigan Radio?s senior political analyst Jack Lessenberry will present on how to develop win-win relationships with local journalists. Reporters, now more than ever, need trained librarians to help teach them how much and in how many ways they can help reporters do their jobs. Librarians need reporters help in promoting local events and services. This program will be held at the Meijer branch of the Jackson District Library. For more information and to register, go to the Media Coaching for Librarians events page: http://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/media-coaching-librarians/. This project is supported (in part) by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. ******************** Heather M.

It is too bad the funds owed amount doesn't give us the information - "this is a scofflaw" and "this is a financially stressed patron." On the former, it may be appropriate and useful to give consequences, including denial of computer access. In the later, denial of access could well be the last straw that keeps someone who doesn't own their own computer, or have internet access, from completing an online job application or request for aid. Also alienating. In that case the role of public library as an equalizer and a support to bootstrapping, is seriously impaired. In practical terms, we don't do this at my library (yet), not only for these idealistic concerns, but because we make guest access available -- rather freely. Fine-penalized access would simply result in more local "guests." Erm..,not to stir the pot -- but would you deny them wi-fi access as well?

Would you like to have access to a proven toolkit to assess the strengths and needs of those services? Would you like your team to participate in a new training program that engages your staff and helps expand your library's strategic planning, technology planning and outreach activities? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then we encourage you to take a look at the EDGE assessment program and sign up for an account today and get started. Edge is a management and leadership tool that provides you with valuable data - from operations, partnerships and programming, to assessing how your community is benefiting from library technology services. By completing the Edge Assessment your library will have access to rich data, four online training modules for library staff, customizable communications tools and a comprehensive list of recommendations and resources. The Edge Initiative was developed by a coalition of leading library and local government organizations with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and led by the Urban Libraries Council and is still available to public libraries at no cost through the end of 2014.

Message-ID: Many trade paperback books now have a cover that is extremely glossy and the usual laminating film from Brodart, Demco, Gaylord, etc., will not adhere to them. Bubbles and creases will appear before your eyes. Has anyone found something that will adhere to such glossy paper? I want to put something on the new "Discovering Michigan County by County" books, but they have that glossy cover. Thank you in advance.
