Harmer has been named Executive Director of the Westport Library in Westport, Connecticut effective July 27, 2015. His last day in Chelsea will be July 10. Elizabeth Sensoli, Chelsea District Library Board President said ?While I am happy for the wonderful opportunity ahead for Bill and his family, I admit to sadness for Chelsea?s loss. Bill is a brilliant director. His talent and spirit have made our library a very special place, at the heart of Chelsea. Personally, I will miss his unquenchable enthusiasm and ?out of the box? thinking. Trustee, Robin Wagner added, ?Bill is a remarkable leader, driven by a contagious passion for continuously improving the library experience for guests, staff, and community. Bill?s constant focus is understanding what is this library today, envisioning how can it be better tomorrow, and wondering how to get there sooner than tomorrow.? Harmer began working at the Chelsea District Library in 2006 as the Head of Adult Services where he was instrumental in establishing a service planning model for assessing community?s needs and identifying service priorities. Through his outreach model, he pioneered new programs such as Artist-in-Residence, Midwest Literary Walk, the Stories of Chelsea Oral History Project, Purple Rose Theatre Concert Readings, and the Comedy Showcase. Promoted to Director in 2009, Harmer continued to build upon his belief that the library experience cannot be viewed as just an information transaction, but also an opportunity to reach out and connect lives. His ability to connect with community, work closely with staff, and respond quickly to emerging trends led to the Chelsea District Library being recognized by *Library Journal* as the 2008 ?Best Small Library in America?. In addition to his role as Library Director, Harmer currently serves on the SRSLY Anti-Coalition Executive Committee, is a member of the Chelsea Lions Club, served as President of the Rotary Club of Chelsea, and was a former co-chair of the Chelsea Area Wellness Coalition, as well as Marketing Coordinator for the Chelsea Summerfest. In his formal resignation letter to the board, Harmer wrote, ?Throughout my years in Chelsea, I have had the honor and privilege to work alongside a world-class staff dedicated to advancing learning, literacy, civic engagement, innovation, and service that is second to none. With a Board of Trustees committed to the long-term vitality of the library in the community, and with our Friends of the Library and 140+ library volunteers constantly providing all of the resources we have needed to create our magic, I have been incredibly fortunate and lucky these nine years in Chelsea. I am awed at our enviable and lengthy list of astonishing accomplishments.? Sensoli reported that the Board of Trustees will establish a search committee and engage a leading search firm to identify a new executive director. ?Bill leaves us with big shoes to fill, but standing next to those shoes is a strong organization with an unparalleled staff,? said Sensoli. ?Chelsea District Library will continue to be a ground breaking library, dedicated to enriching and serving our community.?

You all now know that Michigan is switching from the ACT to the SAT in 2016 and MeL will be prepared for that by providing supplemental test prep to what the College Board will be doing with Khan Academy in the LearningExpress Library (LEx) resource. The College Preparation Center of LEx is the place to go to find actual timed practice tests, eBooks and tutorials for the SAT, ACT and others. You can also find additional resources in the Teens Gateway, College Bound section, http://teens.mel.org/MeLCollegeBound as Eunice pointed out. I have been in contact with the College Board to let them know that we have been providing college entrance test prep. here in Michigan at no cost to all for years. In fact, Hoor Bhanpuri of the College Board and I will be presenting a session on our "collaboration" at the Fall MLA Conference in Novi! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

This year's program encourages Michigan's children and teens to focus on heroes of fiction and nonfiction, such as police, firefighters, soldiers, leaders and historical figures. "I urge all students to participate in this fun, free, voluntary program that promotes personal reading to help maintain their academic growth and learning," State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said. "The program is in full swing with summer-long activities, events and celebrations related to this year's Heroes theme. Michigan's public libraries are gearing up for the Summer Reading Program with promotional events. The Library of Michigan, through its national Collaborative Summer Library Program partnership, is sharing materials, artwork and programming ideas with public libraries. The effort allows each public library in the state to focus on working with children and teens to improve their reading ability and enjoyment of books. The 2015 program includes slogans based on the Heroes theme for children, teens and adults. The slogans are: "Every Hero Has a Story" (children); "Unmask!" (teens); and "Escape the Ordinary" (adults). "Through these activities, Michigan's public libraries encourage the children and families of our communities to read together," said Randy Riley, the State Librarian. "This effort helps builds interests and helps children maintain reading skills over the summer break and enter school ready to succeed in the fall." To see what programs are offered in your community, contact your local public library. To find the public library in your area, use the Interactive Library Directory at www.michigan.gov/librarydirectory. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 175 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

Her next journey took her 1,000 miles along the shorelines of all five Great Lakes and she wrote about that. Her latest 1,000 mile trek took her on a journey from the beautiful and serene wilderness of Island Royale to the bustling metropolis of Montreal Island and many of the islands in between and, you guessed it, she wrote about that trip too! Loreen Niewenhuis will be with us on Thursday, July 9th. She will be telling of her adventures and showing spectacular photos and videos. Books will be available for purchase and signing. I am attaching our flyer for the event in case you'd like to print some for your patrons. Everyone is welcome. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you very much.

This year, the Library of Michigan is collaborating with the Cooperative Directors Association, MAME, and MCLS to bring together staff from libraries of all types to discuss and investigate how we can work together to support patrons across the ages and organizations. The program will be held on November 11 as a pre-conference to the MAME Annual Conference in Bay City. A primary focus will be on ways the Michigan library community can support school librarians and media specialists as they work to inform district and building administrators, legislators, and parents about the importance of school libraries and trained staff to keep them open. We will also look at partnerships that are making an educational difference for K12 students. We will be hearing from keynote speakers Allison Barney from Nashville Public Libraries and Rhonda Huisman from Wichita State University as well as public, academic and school librarians and school administrators from around the state. Plan now to join for this important and informative conference. Registration information will be coming soon!

And, Under the Radar RAFFLE! In-Reply-To: <1269454919.16839048.1433417238703.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <1100938171.16851209.1433424708418.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, As you might have heard or read :) the third year of the all-online, statewide Michigan Activity Pass program went live on May 24. As we head into the second weekend of hugely expanded, DNR inclusive, Park and Read merged, MAP, I am extremely pleased to share the news that in the 11 full days since go-live, you've circulated nearly 15% of the TOTAL number of passes that were checked out ALL of last year! And you haven't seen anything yet, in terms of usage. Just wait until all schools are out of session, and July/August family vacation season kicks into high gear. We are working out the details of how best to share MAP circulation stats with libraries, and we will have more information concerning that very soon. Other MAP details and library-related fun: 1. Many of you have liked the MAP Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP/510259192344845 Do you have a news article to share about your library, or about a MAP partner venue in your community? Please send me the link to said article, in order that we may feature it on the MAP Facebook page. 2. Remember, MAP is your EXCLUSIVE, online-only source for DNR fun at state parks, state forest campgrounds, state recreation areas, and state historic sites at http://michiganactivitypass.com All passes for the 230+ DNR sites, and the 150+ other cultural partners, are conveniently available for your patrons to print from the MAP website. This also translates into less work for library staff, in that you needn't be concerned with lost or stolen passes, or having to request additional passes, etc. As a result of the great support from our cultural partners and sponsors, Michigan's public library patrons have access to a total of nearly 259,000 passes (I believe the actual number is 258,802) in the Michigan Activity Pass program! Gee, just think, if we were to assign an across the board value of $5.00 per pass, that means Michigan's public libraries are providing a total of $1,294,010 of value in just MAP passes alone! 259,000 passes, or more precisely 258,802, is a lot of pass records, which means a big MAP database, too. I say that on account in any database of that size, there are bound to be errors. We, and you, have already identified a few such glitches. We have corrected all of the issues in the MAP database that have been brought to our attention. But that isn't to say there aren't a few others lurking about. Should you or your patrons find something in the MAP database that just doesn't look right, please let me know, in order that we may correct same. 3. Finally, in the library fun category: Many of you, and your patrons, are familiar with the extremely popular Under the Radar Michigan show on PBS television https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan Numerous libraries took advantage of the TLN initiated discount for a bulk order of the UTR book and dvd's. During the course of said order process, a number of libraries asked me about the possibility of having Tom and Jim of UTR fame come to their library to do a program. Along those lines, can you say RAFFLE??? I am pleased to report that the UTR duo have very generously volunteered to present their program at a total of SIX Michigan public libraries, one library each quarter for the next six quarters, beginning in September, 2015! Isn't that great? And don't just take my word for it. Here's what the director of a TLN library had to say regarding a recent UTR program at their library: "We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?" Well, don't you??? And thanks to the generosity of Tom and Jim, you might! Look for details regarding our UTR RAFFLE, very soon. Don't forget to send us those news articles about your libraries and MAP cultural partners, for inclusion on the MAP Facebook page. Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program, and start thinking about how YOUR library might promote an Under the Radar program in the future.

All are winners of the 2015 Letters about Literature (LAL) contest, announced by the Library of Michigan (LM) today. LAL is an annual contest sponsored by the National Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. Young readers write letters to authors, living or dead, describing how the authors' work changed their lives. Students participate through classroom activities or by writing to an author on their own. Participating schools and libraries encourage students to submit letters. "Literature helps children and teens learn about others and understand their own experiences through the characters with whom they connect. The letters they write in the LAL program help them articulate an understanding of issues in the books they read," said LAL Coordinator Karren Reish from the Library of Michigan. "Through these letters, we can encourage students to cultivate these deep-reading skills that are key to academic and lifelong success." LAL winners are: * Soja Kureekkattil of Rochester Hills - State Level I winner (grades 4-6). She wrote author Malala Yousafzai about her book, I Am Malala. In her letter, Soja wrote that the author helped her understand how a person can be both courageous and forgiving. "I may never receive the Nobel Peace Prize...but I know I can make a difference." * Ellie Martin of Alma - State Level II winner (grades 7-8). She wrote author Jerry Spinelli about his book, Star Girl. Ellie said Star Girl helped her understand how to embrace being herself and that what other people do "doesn't matter so long as you do what feels right to you." * Rashna Soonavala of Rochester Hills - State Level III winner (grades 9-12). She wrote poet William Wordsworth about his poem, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud. Rashna said she learned to be aware of the beauty that surrounds her in daily life, and that "there is something cathartic about ... the simple beauty of how bright the sun shines or how vivid in color the flower petals are." Their complete letters at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices. State Finalists: * A. Hadley Gorsline of Saginaw - Level I * Henry Robinson of Saline - Level I * Nanami Takahashi of Novi - Level I * Ryan Chatterjee of Rochester Hills - Level II * Makena Torrey of West Bloomfield - Level II * Alice Erman of Imlay City - Level III * Rachel Pokornowski of Allegan - Level III * Taylor Wahl or Allegan - Level III State winners receive a $50 Schuler Books & Music gift card and $250 Reading promotion grant for the library of their choice. Soja and Rashna awarded their grants to the Rochester Hills Public Library, while Ellie directed hers to Donald L. Pavlik Middle School. State finalists receive a $20 gift card to Schuler Books & Music. Gifts cards and grants are courtesy the Library of Congress and the Michigan Center for the Book, a program of LM and member affiliates. Nancy Hascall of Allegan High School was announced as the 2015 Michigan LAL Teacher of the Year.

Mr. Hotton will be presenting on Thursday, June 11, 2015 at 6:30 as part of the Adult Summer Reading Program. Randy Hotton has been a YAM member since1985; he is the former Executive Director of the Yankee air Museum; he now serves as a Board Member and Treasurer.

A retired US Navy Captain, he served as Pilot Plane Commander in the P-3 Orion aircraft while flying in Vietnam and during Anti-Submarine Patrols during the cold war. A history buff, he has done extensive research and reading on the reasons why and how Willow Run came to be built. Presentation "How Detroit saved the world, The Willow Run Story" The Presentation will have a short history of the Yankee Air Museum. The "Willow Run story" starts with the failure of the US to rearm following WWI and with Roosevelt's call in May of 1940 for mobilization to build 50,000 airplanes per year. It will go over the world and national events leading up to the decision to involve the auto industry in the construction of airplanes for WWII and ultimately to build the Willow Run Bomber Plant. The future for the Yankee Air Museum includes moving into the former Bomber Plant to tell the "Willow Run Story". Thanks for your time!!

Two checkouts, actually. Yea for Calumet! Note to other Keweenaw Peninsula libraries, you've got some work to do! And speaking of the U.P., take a look/listen at what our friends at Escanaba Public Library have done, and promoted during a television interview: a workstation set up with MAP on it! How cool is that? http://abc10up.com/soar-explore-with-michigan-libraries/ As you are aware, statewide, online, expanded to include 230+ DNR destinations, MAP Year 3 went live on May 24. Today I am very pleased to share the news that thanks to the great promotional outreach of our sponsors, generosity of our partner venues (be sure to thank them when you have a chance), multiple late night sessions by our developer/programmer to fine tune the MAP software so as to get it exactly right for patrons, and a lot of hard work by the staff in Michigan's public libraries, you have circulated nearly one-third as many MAP passes in the first three weeks of MAP Year 3, as were checked out during the full 52 weeks of MAP Year 2! My colleague Brigette at TLN must have filled that MAP balloon with supercharged helium this year, because it is soaring out of sight! To that end, take a look at this MLive article that appeared in the June 10 Grand Rapids Press. In just 24 hours this article has generated over 12,000 shares on Facebook. Not bad for a library related piece, eh? http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2015/06/michigan_activity_pass_gives_r.html Elected officials are on board, too. Senate Appropriations committee chair Dave Hildenbrand is in the second photograph associated with the Grand Rapids Press article. Senator Jim Stamas, who is a strong advocate for libraries, attended a recent MAP press conference at the Alpena County Library. Granted, we are less than three weeks out from go live. But based on the checkout numbers I am seeing, and the fact that checkouts are occurring at libraries that saw little or no MAP activity during the first two years (see Calumet), I think it is safe to say that MAP is well on its way to becoming the program we envisioned when we expanded from a paper-based, metro Detroit libraries in six counties with 30 destinations model, to an online, statewide in all 83 counties with 400 libraries in 640 buildings and 385 destinations (the reporter in the ABC10UP piece above said MAP has an "endless list" of destinations) program three years ago.

The discounted UTR book and dvd purchase order opportunity was extremely well received by Michigan libraries. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman are great friends of Michigan libraries, and if you have a chance to attend the MLA fall conference you can meet Tom and Jim, who will be the keynote speakers at the Thursday, October 29 luncheon: http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/annual-conference/featured-speakers/ In keeping with all of the above, I am very pleased to announce that Tom and Jim of UTR have generously agreed to donate their time to present their program at a total of SIX Michigan public libraries over the course of 15 months, beginning in September, 2015 and concluding in November, 2016. How well received is their program in a public library? Here is what the director of one TLN member library had to say: "We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?" Yes, you do. And six of you can. We promised you a raffle, and now it's UTR RAFFLE TIME! We have grouped Michigan public libraries into six geographic regions. One winning library will be chosen from each of the six geographic regions. Each of the six winning libraries will then work with Tom and Jim to come up with a date for a program that mutually works for both parties. Program slots are September and early November, 2015; February, 2016; May, 2016; July, 2016; early November, 2016. The drawing will be held at The Library Network on Monday, July 13. You need not be present to win :) If you would like to enter our Under the Radar Michigan raffle to have a chance to have Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman present a program at your library, please reply to this email by no later than Sunday, July 12. Good luck!

Message-ID: <02a701d0a766$67709a80$3651cf80$@gossagesager.com> Director of Learning and Discovery-The Westport (CT) Library Imagination, innovation and inspiration...The Director of Learning and Discovery at the Westport (CT) Library will embrace and promote these ideas as they lead an inventive, committed public service staff who is transforming the traditional role of Libraries by delivering innovative programs and services. The Director must value responsive, personal customer service and view the Library as a platform for community innovation and experiential learning. The selected candidate must be interested in seeking new service models and fostering exploration through staff and community collaboration. He/she must be knowledgeable about emerging trends in libraries and the world at large and passionate about implementing new approaches to learning, information access, and services. In other libraries this position may be called the Deputy Director for Public Service but the Westport Library uses a title that best describes the role. The Director of Learning and Discovery must have both left and right brain skills?the ability to inspire and motivate staff as well as day-to-day managerial and organizational skills. A love of public service, a strong customer service focus, and the desire and skill to teach, coach, and mentor staff is essential.

In 2013, the Library Journal designated the Westport Library as a ?Five-Star Library?, a distinction earned by less than 1% of the nation?s libraries and in 2015 the Library was one of five finalists for the IMLS National Medal for Museum and Library Services. The Westport Library was also among the first in the nation to establish a Maker Space, a place for creation, collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship. The Library is supported by a $4.3 million annual Town appropriation and supplemented by an active development effort, as well as grants, fees and earned income, resulting in a $5.6 million annual operating budget. For more about the Library and the Town, see Westport Links. Qualifications. The successful candidate will have an ALA accredited Masters? of Library Science and a minimum of five (5) years professional experience in a public library setting or information-based environment demonstrating progressively responsible management experience. Desired attributes and skills include strong computer and technology skills; a customer service orientation; excellent oral and written communication skills and interpersonal skills; and the ability to work collaboratively. Flexibility and ability to thrive in a complex, changing environment with competing demands and proven success in planning, introducing, and managing change is crucial.

It seems that Smartprocure (http://smartprocure.us/understand-smartprocure/) is trying to build a central database to help businesses - relying on FOIA requests and then reselling the data to businesses. It might be they are reaching out to all public libraries in the state - just on a fishing expedition. This is the information on FOIA from the University of Michigan - http://foia.vpcomm.umich.edu/ All requests have a more finite structure and scope. Everything over the last five years seems a bit much - especially if it is someone outside the state (they are from Florida). However, they might be working with a Michigan customer. The Library of Michigan has a nice resource page for trustee info which might be useful: http://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_69405_18689---,00.html Michigan Library Association had a workshop on this in April. Maybe people who went can chime in. Sounds like a good topic for future MLA sessions. I have seen some expensive charges from governmental entities - sometimes excessively high - for FOIA requests. I do not encourage people to come up with high fees - just what is covered to reasonably do the work. I would let them know what it will cost and what they are looking at.

Thank you to all who responded. 1) Veterinary books by James Herriot. Each chapter is the equivalent of a short story. They are available on MeL in Large Print. 2) Short story collections worked for a while - mostly in the genres he liked before. After it progressed, trivia books/factoid books/bathroom reading books seemed to work really well - the shorter, punchier text was easy to comprehend and would often trigger other memories. Your patron might also like some of the juvenile/YA science books - they tend to have large, colorful illustrations, simplified text, and be relatively short on each topic. 3) Collections by Dave Barry, Erma Bombeck, O.Henry, James Herriot, Tom Bodett, and Garrison Keillor might be possibilities. David Isay's StoryCorps Project books might be of interest too, but I think they're less likely to be in large print. 4) Reader's Digest Large Print magazine 5) Check with your area literacy council or program. Ours has novels that are condensed into smaller books. 6) Try books with one or two characters. That seems to be one way to make the story easier to follow. -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello All!

We've had an offer of volunteer time starting this fall by a significantly visually impaired person.  We'd love to take her up on her interest and enthusiasm but are struggling to identify tasks that might be suitable.  She mentioned answering phones, but our phone traffic isn't that substantial and most calls require checking a the catalog or a patron's circulation record. 

Any experiences with this or brilliant ideas to pass along will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Barbara

Learn a variety of practical ways to deliver career development services in your library from two certified ALA Career Development Facilitators. They have strategies and resources to help you cover the spectrum from a quick "on the fly" toolbox of forms and templates to ideas for one-time classes, workshop series, and even one-on-one personalized career sessions for patrons. You really can support those job-seekers.

The DNR planned six activities which groups of kids rotated through during the hour and a half session. It was excellent all around! The kids roasted marshmallows over the campfire to make s'mores, learned about camping, practiced fishing with the Adrian College Bass Fishing Coach, met a Conservation Officer (local hero) who showed and explained about his boat and all the equipment he carries on his body, learned about geocaching, and practiced archery. It was such a nice, well-organized program. We only had 82 kids participate and 17 VolunTeens, but with parents and other adults included we had a total of 130 people. And, we'll be connecting with the DNR for future programs...it was a very successful win-win-win program! I hope the DNR offers this SRP opportunity again. I highly recommend it to other libraries located near state parks. I always say: when Karren Reish sends an email, pay attention because it can really pay off!

The page has four tabs: About Us, Services for Libraries, Research and Headlines. Each tab contains information not found anywhere else on the site. The purpose of the new tabbed layout is to promote information of importance to Michigan library staff and patrons. We want to provide items that are timely and useful for tasks such as keeping up with the profession and patron research. Under the first tab, About Us, we still have our rotating carousel that provides LM news, shout-outs to Michigan libraries, and other items of interest. On About Us is our brick and mortar area which talks about upcoming LM programming and provides easy access to a librarian and catalog search. In Services for Libraries we provide continuing education listings culled from national opportunities and weekly updates of examples of useful statistical data about Michigan libraries from library data analyst Joe Hamlin. We also offer a special section, "Build Your Community" about effective outreach efforts and learning opportunities across Michigan and the nation for this important aspect of modern-day librarianship. The Research tab is a regularly updated showcase of LM offerings from our law library, newspaper collection, Michigan collection and more. Be sure to check out this great space. Headlines is news of interest to Michigan library staff divided into three sections: national news, state news and LM news. Here we promote the initiatives of the many organizations that we consider partners in promoting the library profession. Check us out at www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan.

Hello All!

We've had an offer of volunteer time starting this fall by a significantly visually impaired person.  We'd love to take her up on her interest and enthusiasm but are struggling to identify tasks that might be suitable.  She mentioned answering phones, but our phone traffic isn't that substantial and most calls require checking a the catalog or a patron's circulation record. 

Any experiences with this or brilliant ideas to pass along will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Barbara

These factors understandably impact physical library space. Looking toward the future, what changes can we expect to see in how libraries use space? The first 2016 volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization will focus on the future of library spaces. 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 2016 volume on the future of library space. 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 July 31, 2015. Submission deadlines: Submission deadline for proposals: July 31, 2015 Notification of acceptance sent by August 31, 2015 Submission deadline for full chapters: October 31, 2015 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: December 31, 2015 ________________________________ Beth Martin, Editorial Advisory Board Member of Advances in Library Administration and Organization Head of Professional Programs & Economics Department Liaison Librarian GVSU Libraries DEV 132A, Steelcase Library 401 W.

The items will then be coded with metadata and hosted online as a local history collection (with permission by item owners). It is difficult to set the budget since the amount of items we will receive is unknown. Have any of you hosted a similar event? If so, how many people and items did you receive? What did you do with them in the long run? Did you turn them into programs or a collection or just give a digital copy to the owner? Also, if you are willing to share a copy of your budget and proposal that would be awesome! Thanks for any guidance you can provide. You all are always very helpful.

Turfgrass wasn't a term I was familiar with and I wondered what a library devoted to it would consist of. Since then, I've learned - Number 1, that Turfgrass is an area of planted grasses (think golf courses, sports fields, parks, landscape design, roadsides); Number 2, that MSU is known world-wide for their extensive resources of publications, studies, and research on this topic; and, Number 3, that the Turfgrass Information File (TGIF) is a MeL Database. Established in 1983 as a cooperative project of the United States Golf Association and the Michigan State University Libraries' Turfgrass Information Center, TGIF provides bibliographic and descriptive records of all types of work related to Turfgrass culture. So, what kind of information might you look for in this MeL database? Some examples include: grub control, fertilization, winterkill, invasive plants, and pesticides residue. Parks and grounds managers, landscapers, and golf course managers are among the businesses and organizations in your community who might be interested in the specialized information found in the Turfgrass Information File. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian, Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.

If you did not receive this information at that time and are a district library needing FOIA information to create policies, please review the message below. You may find information to assist you in the process. Other library types may find the information useful as well though they should consult with their local FOIA coordinator for guidance. Shannon Dear Library Director, Attached you will find a packet of information from the Library of Michigan titled "Developing Documents and Summaries for the 2015 FOIA Amendments." The samples are adapted from documents developed by and for State of Michigan state government agencies. They are primarily intended as information for district libraries and library cooperatives, but may be helpful to other types of public libraries in processing FOIA requests. For libraries under the umbrella of a municipality or county, please consult with the FOIA Coordinator for that local government entity for guidance. All libraries should discuss specific concerns or circumstances surrounding FOIA requests and the 2015 Amendments with their legal counsel. Any questions on the following materials may be directed to Kimberly Koscielniak at the Library of Michigan. The information attached summarizes the 2015 Amendments to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq, or "FOIA," which require a public body to post on a website, or otherwise make accessible to the public, specific information on how the public body processes a request for public records and assesses fees. Public libraries are included in the definition of "public bodies," and must follow the Amendments, which become effective on July 1, 2015. Included in this material are samples of three documents that a public body is required to develop and make accessible to the general public: 1. The public body's FOIA Procedures and Guidelines (Part II) 2. A fee itemization form to be included in the FOIA Procedures and Guidelines (Part III) 3. A written summary of the procedures and guidelines that is easy-to-read (Part IV) You can also find the amending act included within the attached PDF packet.

For this cycle the Library of Michigan worked with a budget of approximately 1.5 million dollars to provide content that fit the core areas and mission for the Michigan eLibrary. Our intention of providing this announcement is to assist libraries working on budgets with a July 1 fiscal year start date. A final announcement and formal press release will follow in the summer when all contracts are signed and the Administrative Board has provided final approval for the purchases. Below you can find information on the final product lineup for MeL contracts that are funded with LSTA dollars.

Here is what the Bureau of Construction Codes, Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, had to say regarding this: "The (Michigan) Bureau of Construction Codes has amended the Construction Code Rules, Part 8. All units of government that administer and enforce the electrical code shall enforce the amended state electrical code effective June 18, 2015." The Michigan Electrical Code Rules, Part 8 are published every three years, to coincide with the publication of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Most municipalities will want to have both publications on hand, or be able to turn to their local library for same. As we do with all of the Michigan specific code books, TLN is offering a bulk purchase opportunity for same to Michigan libraries. Please let us know if you would like to order either, or both: 1. 2014 Michigan Electrical Code Rules, Part 8: Price is $10.00 2. 2014 National Electrical Code: Price is $95.00, although we may get a discount depending upon how many copies we bulk order As the 2014 Part 8 rules have already gone into effect (oops), let's move this along quickly. Order deadline is Friday, July 3. Send us your orders now! Finally, if you need a copy of the 2014 Part 8 rules immediately, here is a link where you may print your own copy: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/lara/lara_bcc_electrical_2014_part_8_rules_492610_7.pdf Please send us your orders by no later than Friday, July 3!

The goal is to eat the types of foods the Stone Age hunter-gatherers may have eaten. This diet includes real, whole, unprocessed meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. It does not include grains, sugar, and processed foods. Nate Furlong, clinical exercise physiologist and personal trainer, will be with us on Thursday, July 23 at 6:00 to tell us all about the benefits of this popular way of eating.

Michigan's Heritage Park in Whitehall http://www.lakeshoremuseum.org/project/michigan-heritage-park/ is our 384th MAP destination. Welcome to MAP, MHP! And, we are talking to a potential 385th partner! I won't name them yet, as this is still tentative, but I can tell you that their base of operation is about as far north in the Lower Peninsula, or about as far south in the Upper Peninsula, as you can go, and that their name is similar to that of the first name of the character named Horshack from the Welcome Back, Kotter television series of the 1970's, and... Statewide, Year 3 of MAP went live one month ago, on May 24. I perused the checkout stats a bit, and was very pleased to see that thanks to your hard work to promote the program, MAP checkouts for the first month stand at nearly 66% of the TOTAL circulation for the FULL 12 MONTHS of last year's program. Two-thirds as many passes were borrowed in the first month of new MAP as were issued in 12 months of old MAP! Keep up the great work, everyone! We will distribute MAP stats for the period late May and June, 2015 during the first week of July. Last week a TLN library sent us a plastic display holder that contained a copy of a MAP promotional piece from 2012. In looking at this now historic artifact, we were reminded as to how far the program has come in a very short time. The MAP program debuted in Fall, 2007 with 30 partner destinations and public libraries in six metro Detroit counties. That program ran very successfully for five years. At the end of the five year period the sponsor decided to go in a different direction, leaving us with a decision to make. Since MAP usage was and still is, highest during the summer months, we opted to run an abbreviated version of the program for the period May 25, 2012 through September 3, 2012, again with public libraries in six counties. We had 24 partner venues, including some who've been with us since 2007 such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, Howell Nature Center, Arts & Scraps, Anton Art Center, and the Arab American National Museum. At the end of the abbreviated official MAP 2012 season the circulation numbers were good enough that we decided to extend the program into the Fall, knowing we still had to make a decision regarding the future. For Spring, 2013 we decided to take the program from paper checkout cards and passes to all online, and to include all of Michigan's nearly 400 public libraries in 640 buildings in 83 counties, with 60 cultural partner venues. As word caught on that MAP could offer potential cultural partners good promotional value at little or no cost, more destinations joined, which brought us to 100+. This year brought new sponsors, in the form of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Department of Natural Resources, and Michigan Recreation and Parks Association, and the huge expansion of the program with the addition of the nearly 240 DNR sites, bringing us to where we are today, with 640 library buildings and 384 partner destinations. Tomorrow, who knows? Soar and Explore! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

They have software that assists in assistive technology and global literacy. Bookshare is has 350,000 books donated by publishers. This included both front and backlist titles. They have 360,000 K-12 students who participate in over 60 countries. They work under a copyright exemption that allows them to scan titles to make them available to the visually impaired. They are funded by the Dept. of Education. They make books available free to students who are qualified (physically impaired, dyslectic or visually impaired). Costs them about $20 per student. They work in multiple languages. They partner with the National Library Service so anyone eligible for OTBS can be a participant. Materials are available in the Daisy format. Not compatible with BARD, the downloadable service we use. They focus primarily on trade publications. They are the only supplier of digital text that automatically digitizes right from the publisher. So they can generate digital Braille and MP3. It is totally free to K-12 students. It is $50 a year for qualified seniors, veterans. They use a soft DRM so it is easily managed.

She is extremely well informed, and she is actually in contact with a few of the surviving actors from the film. She brings a nice selection of her GWTW memorabilia along with her to her events.

Many of our current holidays have become overly commercialized or have lost their deeper meaning. We need to invigorate our appreciation and understanding of America?s spirit. The week is anchored by the key dates of September 11 (the anniversary of the terrorists attacks) and September 17 (Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution). Co-created by Michigan Judge Michael Warren and his then 10-year-old daughter Leah, Patriot Week has captured the imagination and support of citizens across the nation. Libraries can participate by sponsoring book displays, reading lists, reading groups, book discussions, author presentations, panel discussions, and similar activities connected to the themes of Patriot Week.

All, Many of you (and your patrons, too) enjoy the Emmy Award winning (yes, UTR just won its THIRD Emmy) television show Under the Radar Michigan. The discounted UTR book and dvd purchase order opportunity was extremely well received by Michigan libraries. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman are great friends of Michigan libraries, and if you have a chance to attend the MLA fall conference you can meet Tom and Jim, who will be the keynote speakers at the Thursday, October 29 luncheon: http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/annual-conference/featured-speakers/ In keeping with all of the above, I am very pleased to announce that Tom and Jim of UTR have generously agreed to donate their time to present their program at a total of SIX Michigan public libraries over the course of 15 months, beginning in September, 2015 and concluding in November, 2016. How well received is their program in a public library? Here is what the director of one TLN member library had to say: "We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?" Yes, you do. And six of you can. We promised you a raffle, and now it's UTR RAFFLE TIME! We have grouped Michigan public libraries into six geographic regions. One winning library will be chosen from each of the six geographic regions. Each of the six winning libraries will then work with Tom and Jim to come up with a date for a program that mutually works for both parties. Program slots are September and early November, 2015; February, 2016; May, 2016; July, 2016; early November, 2016. The drawing will be held at The Library Network on Monday, July 13. You need not be present to win :) If you would like to enter our Under the Radar Michigan raffle to have a chance to have Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman present a program at your library, please reply to this email by no later than Sunday, July 12.

This award is presented annually by the Historical Society of Michigan to the individual who has made the most outstanding contribution to the preservation and promotion of Upper Peninsula history. This year, the Society awarded the Charles Follo Award to Ivan Hellen, who has been a driving force in preserving both local history and Upper Peninsula history. Hellen is committed to local history preservation, and he has proven his dedication by volunteering umpteen hours to raising funds; educating people about local history; and researching, designing and building displays for the local township museum. THE 2015 SUPERIOR AWARD Established by the Historical Society of Michigan in 2006, the Superior Award recognizes historical societies, museums and other historical organizations that preserve and advance Upper Peninsula history. The 2015 Superior Award recipient has accomplished much since its founding in the early 1980s. The Negaunee Historical Society established-and now successfully runs-a museum honoring the heritage of their community. The museum offers extensive displays ranging from mining, sports, military and businesses to Native American artifacts and household items. Various educational programs are also offered throughout the year for the young and the young at heart to learn and explore the community's rich cultural history. The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # For high-resolution photos of the winners, please contact the Historical Society of Michigan.
