Suffering loss and going through grief is a part of the human experience. There?s not one of us who will skate through life without having to cope with losing someone close to us. But sometimes that loss is sudden and horrifying. How can someone possibly climb back out of that pit of grief? That?s the question addressed in a new documentary called ?Transforming Loss.? In it, we meet six Michigan families who have managed to triumph, transform, and grow, despite indescribable heartbreak. And they have lessons for each of us. Michigan filmmaker and licensed psychotherapist Judith Burdick, has produced a documentary that is both heart wrenching and hopeful. It's been on local PBS and will soon be on National PBS. The DVD is available to order below. http://transforminglossdocumentary.com/order-dvd-guide/ -- Marika Zemke - Adult Services Manager Commerce Township Community Library 2869 North Pontiac Trail Commerce Township, MI 48390 Direct Line 248-438-8163, Fax 248-669-3247 mzemke at commercelibrary.info -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Section 2(i) of the DLEA, MCL 397.172(i), currently states that cities, villages, townships, counties and school districts may be participating municipalities for the purpose of establishing a new district library. Section 2(i), however, also states that after January 1, 2015, a school district may NOT be a participating municipality - this specific provision will "sunset." Practically speaking, this means that new agreements for establishing a district library that include a school district as a participating municipality must have all authorizations in place -i.e., must be signed and approved by ALL the necessary parties - by December 31, 2014. The Library of Michigan will continue to review these agreements within a reasonable time of receipt by the State Librarian's Office, although please be aware that Section 5(1) of the DLEA, MCL 397.175(1), states the "legislative bodies of the municipalities that establish a district library shall submit the agreement to the state librarian within 10 days following the date on which the agreement is adopted." Please also note, however, that HB 5597, which proposes to remove the sunset provision, is currently pending in the Michigan Legislature . If HB 5597 is enacted, school districts will continue to be able to be participating municipalities for purposes of establishing a district library. The progress of HB 5597 may be followed on the Michigan Legislature website at http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2014-HB-5597. HB 5597 does NOT, as of September 4, 2014, change the DLEA prohibition against adding a school district as a participating municipality under Section 25(1), MCL 397.195.

They have undergone a number of changes - but I think they are pretty good right now. The nice thing is that it is very easy to use these pictures on other websites and, with the proper tagging, they are easy to find. (Here is my dog flapjack in the blue cone after his run in with a rotweiller - http://www.gocompare.com/covered/2014/07/serious-savings-on-second-hand-pets/ - picked up by a blogger from the UK). Also, with all the groups that are out there - you can connect with other users in your community or with libraries everywhere. Also, with the link to the Commons ( https://www.flickr.com/commons), there are great ways to share resource from photographic archives. It is possible that the things that you want to do with the pictures is not very clear on how to do it. Can you let me know if there is something that you are trying to do and I can try to figure out if there is a way to do that. I have been on flickr since 2007 and contributing one photo a day to Project365 (here are my pics - https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/sets/72157605585889763/). I think the community aspects of flickr outweigh some of the headaches that come with any of these web services. So I am an advocate for sure. Please let me know if I can help.

The 2015 letters will be due in two waves. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 15, 2014 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 15, 2015.

I like the "Thank you very much" slips with smiley faces included in the return books. They include the library's address on them. Is there a place to go for a template on those or am I to just create my own? I ask because they seem to be uniform with just the library's address changed as applies to the returning library. I appreciate the information in advance. Kathy Nuss Collection Assistant Center Line Public Library From jflury at tln.lib.mi.us Tue Sep 9 14:44:35 2014 From: jflury at tln.lib.mi.us (Jim Flury ) Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 14:44:35 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Michlib-l] MAP News YOU Can Use In-Reply-To: <977282181.6775095.1410284212396.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <1351578135.6784581.1410288275782.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, I thought I'd share some happy MAP thoughts with you on this beautiful late summer Michigan Tuesday. Sonny would say the weather is brunny (breezy and sunny). 1. We are a bit more than three months into MAP Year 2. And we are close, very close, to having circulated 75% of the total number of MAP passes in these first three months of MAP Year 2, that we circulated in 12 months of MAP Year 1. And per Brigette's statistics, we've had MAP checkouts in counties this year, that did not see a checkout last year. Of course usage of the program has slowed somewhat with the start of school. But families are still looking for things to do on the weekends, and retirees are still looking for things to do during the week (and on the weekends). Being as that is the case, why not take the opportunity to continue to promote MAP? Crowds are down, but this just means more and better opportunities for patrons to take their time and really experience their favorite MAP attraction. Check out the newest photo on the MAP Facebook page, taken by our official MAP photographer (hint, it isn't me, as I would not be able to fold myself in half in order to fit in the cockpit) of one of the historic planes at the Yankee Air Museum, as proof of how up close and personal your MAP patrons can get with their favorite, less crowded, venue at this time of year. 2. A new library will be joining the MAP program on October 1. Harrison Township Public Library passed a millage in August, and among other things this means their patrons will be able to avail themselves of all the benefits the MAP program has to offer. Welcome HTPL! 3. Thanks to Brigette's social media skills the MAP Facebook page now has in excess of 200 "likes." Did you know that your MAP patrons can now "like" MAP from the MAP homepage? http://michiganactivitypass.info And we have nearly 60 Twitter followers, too. Again, see the MAP homepage. 4. TLN has received an invite to speak about MAP at the 2015 Michigan Museums Association conference in Ann Arbor. We look forward to sharing news about MAP with our museum partners. I asked the Executive Director of the Michigan Museums Association, with whom we have worked closely during MAP Year 2, if her members had any reaction to MAP. Here is what she had to say: "I do know that the first time I put it (MAP) in the newsletter two of my board members told me they signed up. Any time I mention it people are wildly enthusiastic." Museums are wildly enthusiastic about MAP! This means libraries can be even more enthusiastic! Wildly enthusiastic is tough to beat, but I think you can do it. Come up with an adverb that beats wildly, and let's deploy that adverb when it comes to our enthusiasm level for MAP. It speaks very well on your behalf that our museum partners, which you will recall receive absolutely NO financial compensation to offset their losses at the gate as a result of their participation in MAP (many of the library museum pass programs in existence around the country DO compensate the museums, usually via the library friends groups, for their losses), are wildly enthusiastic. We can't offer financial compensation so we don't offer financial compensation, and yet we have 112 MAP partners this year (vs 62 last year). And at least some of our 112 MAP partners are "wildly enthusiastic." MAP has a total of 637 participating library buildings (soon to be 638 with the addition of Harrison Township Public Library), so simple mathematics dictates that libraries (and librarians) ought to be nearly six times as enthusiastic about MAP as our 112 museum partners are. All kidding aside, you've done great work with MAP. Not long ago a librarian at the Bedford Branch Library, Monroe County Library System, sent me a photograph of a display they put together to promote MAP. It was fantastic. I even recognized one of the books that was included in the display case as a title that was written many years ago by a librarian who is still active in our area. I sent her the photograph of the display, and we both agreed that probably means we've been doing this for too long. Onward and upward. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The majority offer 24 hour access, pointing out how much their patrons love this service and how much it is needed. Some offer it only an hour or two after closing. And about a quarter of the responses offer it only during library hours. Some stated they had had problems and that is why they limit it. Many stated it is a police problem and not a library problem. One stated that as we would not allow this type of behavior inside the library, we shouldn't allow it outside, and blame it on the teens when we turn off the wifi. A suggestion was to turn it off for a month to stop the loitering, and then turn it back on, but I don't think it would take long for them to hear it was back on again. Another suggestion was to cut back on the strength of the signal. Thanks again for all the responses. It will give my board a lot to think about.

Do you base this on the number of hours worked? The number of years that staff member has worked for the library? Or just a flat percentage for all employees? Also do you offer some type of bonus for those opting out of insurance? Thank you and sorry for all the questions at once!

I'm honestly not as familiar with the Cricut, especially the new ones, as I am with the Silhouette, so I'm not sure how easy they are to use and how easy designing your own projects are for those machines. From what I've seen, accessories for both Cricuts and Silhouettes are pretty comparable. The cutting mats for Cricut are a bit cheaper, but I use those in my Silhouette and they work just fine. The thing I love about Silhouette is the online store for designs - there are a ton of great graphics and you can customize subscription plans to best suit your needs (on one plan you pay $19.99 a month and get $150 worth of downloads).

Crown Point Community Library, located in Lake County, Indiana, serves the 42,000 residents of Center and Winfield Townships.

Crown Point , the "Hub of Lake County, IN," is the county center anchored by the stunning Lake County Court House and the Public Library located on a thriving square with retail and restaurants. This "jewel" of a growing community-the population has increased exponentially within the last 14 years-provides a family-friendly, small town lifestyle with nearby city amenities (Chicago and Indianapolis are a short drive away). Local residents will find excellent public schools, strong neighborhoods, and affordable housing. Purdue University, Valparaiso University, Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana University Northwest, and University of St. Francis offer higher education opportunities. In addition to its modern charm, Crown Point has an abundance of historic architecture and invites its visitors and residents to explore it through walking tours and a visit to the Lake County Historical Museum.

I've copied and pasted them below. Thank you to everyone who responded and was willing to share their insurance information.Natalie Bazan Otsego District Library - Here at ODL only the full time staff get insurance.However we do make AFLAC an option for part-time staff and some do purchase that.I also used AFLAC at LTL for part-time staff that wanted to purchase it when we were there. Caro Area District Library- We are a large class 3. While I can?t tell you how the board arrived at the percentage the staff pay (I?ve only been here about 6 months), I do know that they pay 10%. Also, those of us who do not take the insurance receive $50 per month added to our paycheck. White Cloud Library - Here at White Cloud we receive $100 per month that employees are to use to help pay for their health insurance. If some of the employees receive health insurance from a spouse it is like a bonus. In the end, all employees receive the same amount. Muskegon Area District Library - We pay 100% for full time. none for Part time, although you can prorate for part time like some libraries do. IE 20 hour employee pays 1/2 library pays 1/2. We do not pay people who opt out.Shiawassee District Library -We only provide insurance to full time employees and there is no bonus at this time for opting out. Right now the library board is phasing in the 20% payment by employees as required by state law for health insurance; we will probably be at 10% in a few months, but the board could decide to charge the entire 20% at once if they so choose.Loutit District Library - We offer insurance to all full time (over 32 hours per week) employees. It's not based on length of service just on if you are FT or not.There is a cash payment if you opt out of insurance. The amount paid for not taking insurance is set each year by the Board as part of our budget process. It's either $1,000 or $1,500 per year and that is paid to the employee as part of their bi-weekly pay. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So we will look at some of the cool new technologies that are out there, and how libraries are or could be using them. But in addition to that, technology is used to attract the attention of our patrons. ?Patron engagement? is a buzz word in the library world that means that we are striving to interact with our patrons in a variety of ways, to get them engaged with the resources and services that our library offers. So we will also look at ways to reach out to your patrons using technology so that the library remains as a prominent resource for your community. ? Speaker:? Karen Knox, Director, Orion Township Public Library Karen C. Knox is the Director of the Orion Township Public Library (OTPL) in Lake Orion, Michigan. After working for twelve years in library technology, she has been enjoying the challenges of administration since 2012. Her technology and management background provides her with the tools to help grow OTPL and lead them into the years ahead. Most of all, she enjoys helping people use technology and library services to improve their lives. She is the author of Implementing Technology Solutions in Libraries (2011).

When we have an event the hosting library will usually have 10-20 computers for patrons to use, so it is really important that people register for events, especially if they need to use a laptop and or a license. It is also important for them to register so we know how many tables and chairs to set up and I would often try to make a large square so people could all interact this also help to keep all the cables and cords in the middle to prevent tripping hazards. It is helpful to have everyone say their first name and username so they get to know each other a bit. We have an in house server that we only turn on during hosted events and it just runs basic vanilla minecraft, I would usually upload a new map for each program so it was something different. At first I tried to have objectives and projects to work on as a team. However it seems like most of the attendees just wanted to be able to run around with a few other people and work on something or play a game as a small group. I also observed that many people would leave the library server to go play on one of their favorite servers with whoever they were sitting next to. We would get a lot of late elementary to middle school attendees. Here are some other tips I have learned along the way, setup and log in all the computers to Minecraft prior to the event, if they are laptops make sure they are plugged in so they will not die in the middle of the event. It is good to have at least two people to help run the event and for set up, teen volunteers are great because they often know the game and can help answer questions you might not know. If you require registration have one person to check people in and tell them what computer to go to otherwise it can become chaotic quickly, it is helpful to have a large room where you can station someone at the door and control who enters. If you do let people bring their own computer be prepared to help people update their Minecraft version or troubleshoot your wireless connection. It is pretty popular with anywhere from 20 to 52 people attending our monthly minecraft club. Craig M.

The primary audience for Minecraft seems to be skewing younger these days, mostly elementary and middle school. But, we keep our older kids engaged by allowing them to have leadership opportunities on our server and at our events. We were recently featured in School Library Journal http://www.slj.com/2014/08/teens-ya/national-library-lock-in-event-features-authors-games-and-minecraft/ because a national Minecraft LAN that was led by Jack Mackled as part of the National Teen Lock-in https://sites.google.com/site/teenlibrarylockin/home. Jack has created a website with some basic info on running Minecraft servers & programs in the library http://mil.crdl.org/ and we also have a Facebook group for Q&A. https://www.facebook.com/groups/minecraftinlibraries/ We originally acquired 10 accounts to be used for program purposes and we now circulate them in-house. They get a *lot* of use during our after school hours! I would definitely recommend purchasing some accounts to help cross the digital divide for those who do not have their own personal account. We also collect usernames on the permission slip when we run after-hours events so that we know who is being a troublemaker if we run into any issues. If you lack technical prowess at your library location do not let that scare you off! There are most certainly teens and/or young adults in your neighborhood that are interested in taking a leadership role to assist you in making your event a reality. With the recent hullabaloo regarding Bukkit plugins and the acquisition of Minecraft by Microsoft change is in the air when it comes to the future of the game and how it is used in public libraries. But, it remains popular here with a majority of our computer use after school dedicated to Minecraft on our server. Hope this helps! Tinna D.

We offer a limited number of computers/laptops for participants to share and encourage them to bring their own laptops as well, which many do. For the kids club we present "challenges" or tasks at the monthly club. Teens meet bi-weekly. Our Young Adult Librarian created a "pledge" for the teens to sign that asks them to not swear, tear down others work, etc. As for the technology side, we created our own server for the program.

It was also a ton of fun to plan. - We made papercraft versions of Steve, a Creeper, a ghast etc. - We did a scavenger hunt in the library where the kids had to "craft" a candy bar by looking for specific materials in the library. I got the idea here: http://fatgirlreading.com/minecraft-irl-your-library/ I tweaked it a little bit, but this was probably the most popular thing we did. The kids went nuts for it. - We made perler bead versions of minecraft characters (those weird plastic melty beads). There are tons of patterns for them online. -We watched a few youtube videos (minecraft music video parodies) and they all had their favorites they wanted to watch on a big screen. The kids had a ton of fun creating and a lot of them asked if we could do it again soon. Hope it helps! Alisha Daugherty Willard Library On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 8:50 AM, Tinna D.

We offer it to anyone - cardholders and non-cardholders alike, and we keep statistics to see who we are proctoring for. Per our old test proctoring policy we would schedule a student for a laptop in one of our private study rooms any day that we were open. That interfered with patron usage of study rooms, especially in summer when we get slammed with tutors. Our new policy offers test proctoring only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and students take the exams on a public computer. Not only does this limit the amount of time we spend on proctoring exams to just two days, but it also opens the study rooms up to other patrons and groups. Of course with this new policy we do make exceptions according to directions of the test and the policies of the school (some specifically request quiet rooms or make tests electronically accessible on certain days only). Our new policy has definitely helped with scheduling difficulties and staff time commitment.

Fulton Ave. Grand Rapids, MI. 49504 616-331-7344 martelia at gvsu.edu ***Please excuse the cross-posting*** The Advances in Library Administration and Organization is seeking proposals for their 2015 volume on staffing for the future. The call can be found at http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/books/series.htm?id=0732-0671, and is pasted below and attached as well. The call: Libraries are dealing with unprecedented changes on several fronts: technological developments, funding difficulties, and an increasing need to prove themselves to a demanding population. These factors understandably impact library staffing. Looking toward the future, what changes can we expect to see in how libraries are staffed, how staff are trained and continue to learn, and how we will recruit and maintain staff. The 2015 volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization will focus on the future of library staffing. ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series aims to answer the questions, ?How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?? It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries. We are currently seeking proposals for the 2015 volume on staffing for the future. If you are interested in being part of this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha.hines at umontana.edu by October 17, 2014.

While I understand from our lawyer that the Library is not liable to the copyright owner under DCMA's Safe Harbor clause, the internet provider has mentioned in its notice that it can drop us as a customer if the illegal downloading continues. To that end, I would like to buy software that requires wireless users to have a library card so that we can identify and possibly suspend an infringer's use of the internet; I believe that the internet provider would be happy with that. If you can recommend this type of product, I'd appreciate your response on or off the listserv.

We are the Michigan host for this national program from the Library of Congress. It is reading-writing contest that invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to write letters to authors of books that have changed their lives. This program gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on a book. As readers, they come to understand how literature is more than assignment, but also a life changing experience. Children and teens can participate on their own or as part of a library or class project. We have posted an explanatory letter and a sample entry form at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices/. The 2015 letters will be due in two waves. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 15, 2014 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 15, 2015. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2015. You can find more information about the national program at www.read.gov/letters/ and the Michigan program at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices. Please find the 2015 letter and entry form at the direct links below.

Building on a new strategic plan outlining core values, the Director, with a five-member Board of Trustees, a $1.2 million budget, and a stunning, new Library (2004), will work to implement goals including, but not limited to, building relationships with surrounding townships, expanding library hours, and developing the talents of a dedicated team of library staff. Petoskey, MI, known for the famous "Petoskey stone" and being the home to Ernest Hemingway for many years, overlooks the shores of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay in the Lower Peninsula. It's a resort community of unmatched beauty and charm with all of the amenities of a larger city. In addition to the arts and stellar public schools, Petoskey is the county seat and offers outdoor recreation opportunities including bike trails, boating, fishing and the Midwest's best downhill skiing. Emmet County, organized in 1853, was known for years as L'Arbre Croche (Crooked Tree)-so named by early French fur traders and missionaries for a tall tree overhanging a high bluff used as a landmark for approaching canoes. Also called "Land of a Million Dollar Sunsets," Petoskey has served as a summertime destination for vacationing city residents for many years. Tourism continues to be a major economic force and Petoskey is now a four-season destination with outstanding shopping and views-and the year-round home for many who enjoy its beauty and charm. Petoskey is also home to McLaren Northern Michigan (health care) and North Central Michigan College.

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 ladiskih at mcls.org Tue Sep 23 09:47:01 2014 From: ladiskih at mcls.org (Heather Ladiski) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 09:47:01 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] Learn how Michigan and Indiana librarians are engaging and transforming their communities Message-ID: Please join us for the MCLS Annual Meeting on October 3, 2014 at the McCamly Plaza in Battle Creek, Michigan.

One type of kit will be for teachers and the other for Cub Scouts. The former type of kit will support classroom curriculum and the latter will help Cub Scouts earn merit badges. If you have experience creating something like this at your library please contact me off list via my e-mail. I am interested in knowing what items you provide in these kits, how well the idea of these kits were received by your target audience, and how often they circulate. Any information you share with me is greatly appreciated. I will make sure to share the responses I receive on Michlib. Thank you.

This survey is used to generate data to inform policy makers about the contributions of libraries in the areas of digital literacy, economic and workforce development, civic engagement, broadband, and public access to the Internet. To access the survey go to http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu . The study uses your data in a number of ways to show how libraries help build inclusive communities. Visit the links below to see the results from the 2013 survey. * Interactive mapping tools that combine digital inclusion survey and community-level data. The map enables libraries to better understand their community demographics, education and learning, economic/workforce, and health contexts along with the digital inclusion services that they provide. We have also developed a state view of the interactive mapping tool found on the individual state pages. * State pages that provide an interactive state-level mapping tool and selected summary data that compares states to national data. You can generate a PDF handout of the summary data. * Issue briefs on key topics such as broadband, employment, e-government, community access, digital literacy, and digital inclusion. * National report that analyzes data from the survey. * Executive summary that provides an overview of survey findings. * Talking points handout that provides selected findings for advocacy purposes. To access the survey go to http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu . The Digital Inclusion Survey is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and conducted by the American Library Association and the Information Policy & Access Center at the University of Maryland College Park, in partnership with the International City/County Management Association.

All of the information shared with me has been helpful and will continue to be as I move forward with this project. Below is a summary of the wonderful things shared with me from other libraries. I hope this information benefits others working on creating kits as well. Dewitt District Library They recently launched ?Discovery Packs.? Ten themes available, but hope to eventually increase it to 30. Each kit includes 4 books (picture book & non-fiction), a DVD or CD, a manipulative/educational toy and a laminated, double sided page of extension activities. They check out for 7 days. The items are all housed in a clear, plastic backpack. Each item in the pack is labelled with our library information as well as the pack theme and number. There is a laminated luggage tag on the zipper of the bag that also contains the theme and number on one side and the barcode on the opposite. There is also a laminated card on the front that lists the specific contents of the pack. This isn't me or our packs, but ours look almost identical (just to give you a visual). These kits are available to day cares, homeschoolers, and families. Delta Township District Library They had kits for teens several years ago. Each kit had some items patrons could keep, some links to websites, and book suggestions. Taped to the lid were instructions for staff and the patron about what needed to be returned. Kits offered included: 1. Journaling Kit?This kit will help you start your own journal. The kit includes a notebook for you to keep, supplies for you to use, and the book Totally Private & Personal to help get you started. 2. Babysitting Kit?First Aid handbook and supplies, children?s books, snacks, craft & activity ideas 3. Starting Work/Careers?Resume help, interview tips, internet resources 4. Going to College/Financial Aid?College planning, financial aid resources, dorm room & roommate tips, and a copy of The Real Freshman Handbook 5. Feeling Crafty?Craft books & suggestions, party ideas (starting your own Knit-TEEN groups) Otsego County Library This library has 24 story boxes that sound like a similar concept. Each one has a different theme. They have 8-10 paperback books, some few-piece puzzles, activity cards (like matching or letters/numbers) and perhaps a few toys, all per the theme of the box. The boxes check out one per family for 3 weeks at a time. Patrons are responsible for the contents, although there are things like a "bag of little dinosaurs" and if one is lost, the library replaces them as needed. Big items like Melissa & Dave puzzles the patrons pay for the whole replacement puzzle (and keep the one with a missing piece). Puzzles can sometimes make noise, but have no more than 12 wooden pieces. Hints: ***use paperback books... they are easier/cheaper to replace: tape spine before using ***buy ALL the boxes/bags you need at the same time so they all look alike/stack together...you'll never find the same kind again!! Make sure the books fit inside the boxes. ***have heavy duty plastic things/toys, not stuffed toys that don't wash well ***put items in a freezer Ziploc bag reinforced with tape along the edges and labeled ***label stuff inside with library name; put "contents" label on lid so people know what goes inside ***put a "small parts" disclaimer on top to "cover your legal backside" ***have theme list available at desk or in "catalog" ***do not have wipe-off kinds of cards. The library has to do all the wiping off when things come back. **for cub scout badges you may want to allow parents to check out "teacher" kits, as they could use the same items that teachers would use. Also, make sure teachers know they would have to replace things that "go missing" if used in their classrooms. Crystal Jolly Children's Librarian Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W.

Their bags hold up well, and cost a little under $8 each. The library book bags we have bought from them say "Made in Montrose, CO USA" on the label. However, it's been over a year since we last ordered. Their web site says some of their products have shifted production to overseas. I am hoping this is not the case for the library book bags, since the made in USA label is a big selling point with our patrons. Bruce A.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the responses were of the "please share what you find out" type. I only heard from one other library. They also have Out Magazine and the Advocate, they're packaged together through WT Cox, and have only recently added them in digital form. They don't yet have any data to share. As of us, we decided to keep it, understanding that given the topic, circulation data may be far lower than the number of patrons who actually read it in house. I suspect that there are many other who simply do not feel comfortable sliding it across the counter for another person to check it out for them.

In-Reply-To: <1343449660.1141077.1411732725021.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <588036097.1150082.1411736892369.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, Are you enjoying this beautiful autumn weather? This is the perfect time to be outdoors, before the leaves (followed by their decidedly colder cousins) begin to fall. I have some great news to share with you today. Beginning October 1 Michigan's newest public library, Harrison Township Public Library, will be joining the MAP program! HTPL passed a millage in August, which means they could begin the process of becoming a certified public library. This also means that on October 1 HTPL will be a new member library in the Suburban Library Cooperative (SLC). This morning I accessed the HTPL website https://sites.google.com/a/htplib.org/htplib/ If I were the director of the Suburban Library Cooperative I would be extremely pleased to see the headline "Harrison Township Public Library Joins the Suburban Library Cooperative!" getting top billing on the HTPL website. Similarly, if I were the director of The Library Network I would be just as pleased to see a strong endorsement for the Michigan Activity Pass program in the form of "Our membership means you can begin using neighboring libraries (click for list) and the Michigan Activity Pass starting October 1st!" (MAP is a TLN-sponsored endeavor, in case you've been living out of state, or under a rock, for the past two years). The heavy emphasis placed by this brand new library on the value of cooperation is no doubt welcomed by the directors of Michigan's other nine library cooperatives, too. Of course the standard disclaimer applies here, that being that the opinions expressed in this blurb are the author's own and do not reflect the view of my employer The Library Network. Actually they probably do, but... Two new attractions for MAP? Maybe! We are talking to two cultural venues about the possibility of their becoming our partners in the program. One has been involved in MAP before, fell upon some hard times, and had to exit the program. They are back up and running now, and we hope they will see that the benefits brought to them by virtue of their previous participation in MAP are still there, and then some. The other potential partner is a brand new venue, grand opening for which is this weekend. It is our job to convince them that MAP will bring many benefits, in the form of publicity and library patrons, to their new venture. Will we succeed with either one? I dunno. If we don't it certainly won't be for lack of trying. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury 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 aestelle at otsegolibrary.org Fri Sep 26 09:42:09 2014 From: aestelle at otsegolibrary.org (Andrea Estelle) Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 09:42:09 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] After School Monitors?? Message-ID: <001f01cfd98f$ac536150$04fa23f0$@otsegolibrary.org> Happy Friday Everyone! Does anyone have an after school monitoring type of program set up? If so can you tell me what you do? Do you pay someone to come in and monitor or do you dedicate a staff member to this? We currently have a difficult and large group of middleschoolers frequenting the library. Our teen room is located down behind the shelving away from our desk, and it has become frustrating for the clerks who are working the desk to constantly go back and forth from the teen room all the time afterschool. We do feel the need to have a monitor in the area of the teen room for the hours after school. We have security cameras in the room but this has not deterred some of the problem behaviors we are seeing. We have tried offering programs geared towards the group. They do not want to participate in programs, they are are just looking for a hangout/wifi space. It would be fine for them to come in and talk and use the wifi if there wasn't so much drama all the time - we have kids fighting, crying, becoming too affectionate, etc. We want the library to be a safe space and all the drama is making it uncomfortable to the people who do want to use the space appropriately. I am torn about what to do with this because we are happy that our space is being used heavily by the teens and tweens but we do feel it is not going well for them to be basically unsupervised in this area, so that is why I am asking about any libraries that have a monitor system set up. I am afraid a monitor might drive away all the teens so I am interested in a monitoring system that has worked, where teens and tweens still feel comfortable using the library, but also they are being monitored so that problem behaviors are kept at a minimum. Thanks for any thoughts and ideas!

The mentors come from the library educators? community and are themselves leaders in school library education and research. Pam Berger is the director of the Southern Westchester BOCES School Library System in New York State. Dr. Ann Ewbank is an Assistant Professor at Montana State University as well as director of their school library media program. Dr. Sandra Hughes-Hassell is a professor in the School of Information and Library Services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Kafi Kumasi is an Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Science at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Barbara Stripling is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University in New York. Mentors will assist the Lilead Project team in preparing materials (readings, assignments, and activities) for the Lilead Fellows Program. Each mentor will also work with a small group of up to five Fellows to support and help them strategize and formulate potential solutions to their district?s most pressing problems. They will provide knowledge, resources, and continued support for their small group of Fellows throughout the duration of the Program and provide valuable and timely feedback on the Fellows? progress towards completion of their proposed solution. The Lilead Fellows Program , supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will provide an intensive 18-month long professional development program for up to 25 school district library supervisors from across the country. This professional development opportunity will allow participants to develop leadership skills in integrating information literacy instruction with content area standards, technology use and integration, and advocacy for library programs and services. The application period for the Lilead Fellows Program is open until October 13, 2014. The initial class of Fellows will be announced November 14, 2014.

However, it's been over a year since we last ordered. Their web site says some of their products have shifted production to overseas.

In-Reply-To: <001f01cfd98f$ac536150$04fa23f0$@otsegolibrary.org> References: <001f01cfd98f$ac536150$04fa23f0$@otsegolibrary.org> Message-ID: Congratulations on getting teens into the library. That is a wonderful thing. I would recommend a teen librarian with a desk in the immediate area. That way the librarian can be working on other things, like collection development and teen programing, instead of looking like a monitor. Given time, the right person will be able to create a connection with the teens that will serve as a calming effect without driving them away. I would highly suggest some hands-on teen programing in the department once in a while during the after school hours. Even if no one but the librarian works on the projects at first, it will help them get use to the idea that there are other fun things to do besides tormenting each other. It may take a while to change the dynamics in the room but a persistent non-judgmental adult presence should be able to do it. Just remember, unless you want to chase them away, you can't aim for a quiet space; but, given boundaries that aren't to onerous, they should calm down for you. The rules I established and the teens delight in telling each other are: "No murder in the library" "No maiming in the library" "No petting in the library" These rules have given me a humerus way to deal with bad behaviors, but they didn't get created until I knew the teens and how they would respond to correction.

Got a great response after the fact that may offer a good perspective for those were looking:* Hi, Cindy-- I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier to your question about LGBT magazines. We used to subscribe to "Out" but even when we put it in a protective cover it was stolen on a regular basis. We didn't know if it was being taken by someone who didn't want it in the library or if it was an individual who didn't want to be seen checking it out. We have kept current editions of other vulnerable magazines at the reference desk, but we definitely didn't want to single out people who were looking for "Out" but didn't feel comfortable asking for it. At any rate, we eventually decided it didn't make sense to pay for a magazine that only one person was seeing. Fortunately, we can offer it to our patrons through our Zinio subscription, but I hope that someday our library will figure out a security system that doesn't cause carpal tunnel issues for our Circ staff and helps preserve our collection. Then maybe we can offer titles like "Out" again. We don't have the same problem with "The Advocate." Regards, Maureen Maloney Reference Librarian Duluth Public Library 520 W.

If it's stained, but it doesn't pose a biological (mold, mildew, etc.) hazard, we put a note on the front page noting the type of damage, as well as a date when it was discovered, and the appropriate staff initials. If it's torn or losing pages, but can be easily repaired, we do that and note the mended date in the same way. If it's not repairable, then we bill for damage.

The third part of this four-part series, hosted by Jackson District Library at the First United Methodist Church (275 W. Michigan Avenue), features Lazar Selektor, a Russian lieutenant who fought at the 900 day siege of Leningrad. He will talk about Joseph Stalin's political purges of 1937 when most of the senior officers were either killed or sent to Siberian work camps. Lazar will be present at the program to answer any questions about the horrible siege of Leningrad. Martin will also have a collection of World War II memorabilia on display. This presentation is free and open to the public. Martin can be reached at batt.chief at yahoo.com and more information can be found on his website: LMWW2.com. Mark your calendars for November 1 at the same time and location to hear personal experiences from Jim Lewis, US Navy submariner who was stationed in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Over a 9 year period, Martin's presentations have attracted approximately 6,000 people who have witnessed the very personal and emotional stories that he has been so passionate about bringing forth.

She was absolutely wonderful! Not only is the book "Border Crossings" a compelling story of a child warrior (even in WWII we had them) the story of how the book came to be is an incredible inspirational journey itself. On top of speaking at a brunch and speaking at an evening Czech fest (complete with Bayanina performing eastern European music on accordion), Sandy also shared an exhibit of Charles Novacek's paintings--just a few of the 400 Sandy has, but an amazingly varied collection chosen for our exhibit space. In addition to all the time Sandy shared with us already, she is coming to our Adult Fiction Book Club which is reading the nonfiction "Border Crossings." (Thank you, Sandy!) As you look at planning your upcoming programs, I strongly recommend you consider Sandra Novacek. Sandy's on this list--and at Grosse Pointe Library as well as at 1021 Press and sn at charlesnovacekbooks.com. ceci -- Cecilia Ann Marlow Library Director Cromaine District Library 810-632-5200, ext. 105On -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For the past 34 years, Hiebel has been the driving force behind the Marquette County Historical Society's (MCHS), now the Marquette Regional History Center's (MRHC), dynamic and innovative educational programs and museum exhibitions. Hiebel began her career with MCHS in 1980, but her crowning achievement came after she was appointed executive director of the MCHC in 2005. At that time, she began the herculean task of finding a new building for the society's museum and library, launching an incredibly successful $3.75 million capital campaign. Today, thanks to her efforts, the Marquette Regional History Center is a recognized state-of-the-art museum and historical research facility, second to none in the upper Great Lakes region. The Historical Society of Michigan recognizes the important work of Marge Sawruk from White Lake with the State History Award for Distinguished Volunteer Service. The Fisk Farm, a historic complex that was slated for demolition, survives today because Sawruk worked to save it on its original site. Now restored, the farm serves as a focal point for an annual festival that raises much of the White Lake Historical Society's operating revenue. Later, she spearheaded the effort to save the one-room 1876 Thompson School and move it to the farm property. Sawruk serves as a docent for tours, edits the society's newsletter, wrote the text for the society's coloring and activity book, and works with numerous other historical organizations. A State History Award in the Books: University & Commercial Press category has been presented to Charles K. Hyde and Wayne State University Press for "Arsenal of Democracy: The American Automobile Industry in World War II." In this book, the author masterfully examines the role played by the American automobile industry in the production miracle that was a major factor in defeating the Axis powers in World War II. The transformation of a civilian industry into a wartime manufacturing powerhouse was a success story of organization and innovation. The variety and quantity of military hardware produced in the former automobile plants was staggering, and it swamped enemies who could not produce at the same level. A State History Award in the Books: University & Commercial Press category has been presented to "Cholera in Detroit: A History" by Richard Adler, McFarland & Company, Inc. In 1832, cholera reared its ugly head in Detroit, carrying off many citizens and terrifying the populace of the rapidly growing city. Four more significant outbreaks in the city would follow as late as the 1860s. In this book, the author examines the history of cholera in Detroit during the mid-19th century from the perspectives of historian and physician. His narrative is supported by solid sources, and his medical training gives him an understanding of both the science and the history of science as they relate to cholera and the fight against the disease. A State History Award in the Books: University & Commercial Press category has been presented to "Detroit: Race Riots, Racial Conflicts, and Efforts to Bridge the Racial Divide" by Joe Darden and Richard Thomas, published by Michigan State University Press. The race riots of 1967 had an enormous impact on Detroit's history, but the narrative of racial conflict has often obscured the lesser-known but equally important episodes of interracial cooperation in seeking solutions to the city's problems. Thoroughly researched, this book does not mire the reader in endless statistics and academic jargon. It is immensely readable and a "must have" for anyone interested in the history of race relations in America. A State History Award in the Books: University & Commercial Press category has been presented to "Holland, Michigan: From Dutch Colony to Dynamic City" by Robert P. Swierenga, Van Raalte Press, in partnership with William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. Every community in Michigan should have the good fortune to have someone write its history in as comprehensive and readable fashion as this three-volume set. The author has penned a masterful study of the city founded in 1847 by Dutch immigrants who sought religious and economic freedom. His books trace the town's history from a Christian colony of Ottawa Indians that settled there in 1839 to a description of Holland in the 21st century. These books prove that the history of a single community can be entertaining, thought-provoking, and just plain fun. A State History Award in the Books: University & Commercial Press category has been presented to "'Old Slow Town': Detroit During the Civil War" by Paul Taylor, Wayne State University Press. Although far from the fighting, Detroit was the center of Michigan's significant participation in the Civil War. In this book, the author carefully examines the many issues and events in Detroit during the war and shows how Michigan's largest city and its people were affected by the conflict. The Society presented a 2014 State History Award in the Publications: Private Printing category to authors Peg Jonkhoff and Fred Hoisington for their book, "Perry Hannah's Gifts: Then and Now." The book showcases the life and times of Perry Hannah, Traverse City's founding father, and celebrates the heritage of the Grand Traverse region. When Hannah arrived in the sparsely settled wilderness in 1851, he envisioned his new home would be the "Queen City of the North" and started building it. Now, even in the 21st century, Hannah's fingerprint is evident as the region continues to grow and prosper. This volume shines a light on the man, the vision and the gifts that created a thriving, sustainable community. In the category of Books: Private Printing, the Society presented a State History Award for the publication "Schools of Yesteryear Volume II" by Janis Stein. As the second volume in a series, this well-researched book focuses on rural one-room schools in Bingham, Paris and Sheridan Townships of Huron County; the first volume covered the histories of schoolhouses in Sand Beach and Sherman Townships. At one point, there were 7,000 one-room schools in Michigan, and about 100 of them were in Huron County. Today, there are 18 across Michigan, six of which are in Huron County. The State History Award for Books: Children & Youth goes to "Hunter's Quest: Finding Heritage and Friendship in Southwest Michigan" by author Mara MacKay (aka Mara Mae) and illustrator Dan Smith. "Hunter's Quest" is set in Kalamazoo where young Hunter and his family have just moved. The relocation causes a difficult adjustment for Hunter but his wise and caring grandfather finds innovative ways to help smooth the way. The journey eventually leads Hunter through the historic years on Parson Street, and readers have a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Gibson guitars, Shakespeare fishing lures, and the generations of talented people who crafted them. In the category of Communications: Newsletters and Websites, the Society presented a State History Award for the newsletter The Ford Legend, produced by the Henry Ford Heritage Association, which is dedicated to fostering interest in the life and accomplishments of Henry Ford. This publication has been produced three times a year since 1992, and a new website launched earlier this year complements the newsletter with a vast array of resources available free of charge to audiences worldwide, including a history of Henry Ford and information about Ford car clubs. This year's recipient of a State History Award in the Education: Educator category award is someone who exemplifies the very essence of an award-winning teacher: Kelly Eddy from Ann Arbor. Recognized in the "Who's Who of American Teachers," Eddy firmly believes, "The best teachers are always students at heart." As a result of her personal drive to be the best teacher she can be, her students at Churchill High School in Livonia have achieved phenomenal scores on the AP U.S. History and AP European History exams. But it is the obvious and widely recognized passion that Eddy's students exhibit for historical topics after she has taught them that stands out as testimony to her success as an educator here in the state of Michigan. In the Local Societies category, the State History Award went to the Leelanau Historical Society. With determination, donations and grants, the Leelanau Historical Society continues its mission to inspire people to explore the past, understand the present and envision the future of the diverse cultures in Michigan's little finger and its five islands. First housed in Leland's original jailhouse, the society moved into a state-of-the-art museum and research center that hosts exhibits and programs throughout the year. Two staff members are augmented by a very active board and a cadre of volunteers. The group participates in the Wood Boat Show on the Leland River and partners with the Leland Township Library to bring lectures and activities to the community. This year's State History Award in the Special Programs/Events category goes to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society's "Legends of the Lake." Using live outdoor theater as a medium to share its history, the Grosse Pointe Historical Society presented three sold-out and standing-room-only performances of "Legends of the Lake." This special program is a personal retelling of the experiences of folks who settled and lived in the Grosse Pointe/St. Clair Shores area from Windmill Pointe to Gaulker Pointe. Growing from a previous but much smaller effort, the production is now a joint effort between the Grosse Pointe Historical Society, the Grosse Pointe Theatre, and the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. "A Weed Goes to War," which appeared in the January/February 2014 issue of Michigan History magazine, most captured the attention of the readers and has won the State History Award for Best Article in Michigan History magazine. Written by Gerald Wykes, a historian, interpreter and illustrator from Monroe, the article explains how the milkweed was once considered a pest by farmers, but then researchers discovered that its fine white floss could be used to enhance buoyancy in life preservers used in World War II. That prompted everyone from the oldest senior to the youngest school child to join together in Michigan and other milkweed-producing states to pick milkweed pods and bag them for transfer to the processing plant in Petoskey. Harvesting milkweed made Americans on the home front feel that they were contributing something important to the war effort. _____ _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.
