Hartland Road, Hartland, on the third floor. It is an educational exhibit with panels explaining and putting into context some of Kahlo's works. This exhibit will be up through May 9, then shipping out on Monday for the next site. We have a three-part series which begins May 6, "A Taste of A.L.I.V.E." with a talk from the Michigan Labor History Society about the Ford Hunger March/Massacre which happened in Detroit the month before Rivera and Kahlo arrived in Detroit. Henry Ford directed his guards to shoot the marching workers. His son, Edsel Ford, had commissioned Rivera to paint the Detroit Industry murals at the DIA. Quite a contrast in thoughts about the Detroit assembly worker. May 13 we'll show a lesser-known film about Kahlo, that was filmed in part at her home, Casa Azul. May 20 we have an opportunity for hands-on Frida-inspired crafts. All of these programs begin at 6:30 pm and all are held at the Village location, 3688 N. Hartland Road, Hartland. The exhibit and the series are here to coincide with the Detroit Institute of Arts Rivera-Kahlo exhibit which is open now through July 12. This is the first exhibit of Kahlo's works in Detroit and also showcases newly restored preparatory drawings by Rivera for the Detroit Industry murals. We believe "Frida-mania" (as her biographer Herrera termed it) is widespread. We wanted Cromaine to be able to offer, once again in keeping with the Crouse Hartland Project legacy, a connection to Mexican art and culture, our own auto industry history and this exceptional female artist.

There's still time to register! This event is intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. It's an informal unconference-style, intended to gather people to share ideas, technologies, and to spark discussion. This event is free to attend and will be held at the Downtown Library at 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them talk about whatever they'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and get together to discuss what we'd like to talk about and fill in a few slots on the agenda. We've got time for four sessions and room for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. To help jump-start the conversation, we're proposing 4 tracks: Nontraditional Collections, Ebooks & Licensing, Special Events, Summer & Gaming. AADL staff will be on hand to talk a bit about these things at AADL, but like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! Further details: http://www.aadl.org/libcamp15 . We hope you can join us, so thanks, and s ee you May 8!

We called the program Lunch and Listen, provided lunches and read books to the kids. We got involved by calling the MDE number in this email, we were told that they were looking for more sites to serve summer lunches and that Food Gatherers was already working with them to provide lunches to more sites in Washtenaw County, YDL could just become one of their sites. Food Gatherers managed all the federal and state administrative paperwork and money handling, made lunches that met the required nutritional criteria, AND delivered bagged complete lunches to us 5 days a week. Sites were required to have staff go through a short training session, and provide daily paperwork with lunch counts, a place to put the lunches when they were delivered, post the required signage, etc. All was very doable. At YDL all youth staff were trained to follow the procedures but in most cases we then trained interns and volunteers who did a lot of the actual serving of lunches and cleanup. Usually youth staff or, in one case, a board member, would read the books, sometimes reading for 20 minutes or sometimes a whole hour because kids would WANT to hear stories that long. At our medium-sized downtown location, where I work, we served lunches for one hour, and served 25-45 kids Mon-Friday, kids ranged from 0-18 years old. We also tied in other programs, almost entirely educational in some way, before or after the lunches since we already had kids at the library. What did we notice? At the downtown location we have always had many tweens and teens that come during the summer and spend the entire day at the library. Some parents would bring smaller kids to the library and be there for a little too long. Kids would get more and more rowdy as the day went on, frequently asking us for food and getting bored. This year, there was less disruptive behavior, more engagement in library activities. Yes, we were definitely busier than ever but it was a "good" busy. This year we are doing it again and we're adding a morning snack. You can see a bit of PR on last year's program at: http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/06/free_lunch_program_for_kids_be.html http://stateofopportunity.michiganradio.org/post/michigan-library-lives-it-takes-village-idea This is a broader article on other libraries providing lunches: http://publiclibrariesonline.org/2014/07/calling-kids-to-the-library-lunch-table/ Hope this helps!

Message-ID: Hello, Sorry if you're getting hits twice through cross posting. One of my teachers tutors a 6th grade boy and his mom asked for reading suggestions for him, specifically in magazine form at grade level. As a girls' high school librarian with grown children, I'm at a loss. I have looked at NoveList, mostly because we heard a great presentation from an Ebsco rep at our recent MAME 17 spring meeting. I know they provide Lexile ratings on many books, read-alikes, and a multitude of ways to search and limit searches. I will show this to the teacher for sharing with the parent. However, NoveList covers books, which the parent said he is reluctant to read, hence my request for magazine suggestions. If you have any suggestions to pass along, please email me off list and I will compile a hit list and share it! Thanks for your collective wisdom and experience.

Below is an online course offered by a non-profit out of California called InfoPeople. They provide continuing education to the library community via the California State Library as well as to others outside of the state. Please contact them directly with questions about the course. Information can be found below regarding dates and registration etc. Strategic Planning in Small Libraries An Infopeople 4-week online course, May 26 - June 22, 2015 Does your library have a strategic plan? Having a current strategic plan is vital to all libraries as a way to help move staff, programs, and services in a cohesive, determined direction. Are you feeling unsure about where to start, who to involve, and how you're going to find the time to take on one more project? This course, specifically designed for small libraries, will equip you with a variety of skills and techniques to help simplify the process. You will be guided through the creation of a step-by-step framework for a basic strategic plan that can be readily implemented, revisited, and revised according to library needs. Instructor: Lana Gardner Fee: $75 for those in the California library community and Infopeople Partners, $150 for all others.

Thank you for sharing. Although I am not intimately involved in the Summer Food Service Program here at the MDE, I would like to pass along the marketing URL for the program. Details are provided at www.michigan.gov/sfsp. Bookmark and watch for more information as the 2015 program rolls out. We finally have Spring, and Summer will be here before we know it! Cheers, Terri Terri D. Assaf, MLS Department Analyst Michigan Department of Education Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 20:44:33 -0400 From: Joy Cichewicz > Last summer all Ypsilanti District Library locations were part of the Summer Food Service program for the first time. We called the program Lunch and Listen, provided lunches and read books to the kids. We got involved by calling the MDE number in this email, we were told that they were looking for more sites to serve summer lunches and that Food Gatherers was already working with them to provide lunches to more sites in Washtenaw County, YDL could just become one of their sites. Food Gatherers managed all the federal and state administrative paperwork and money handling, made lunches that met the required nutritional criteria, AND delivered bagged complete lunches to us 5 days a week. Sites were required to have staff go through a short training session, and provide daily paperwork with lunch counts, a place to put the lunches when they were delivered, post the required signage, etc. All was very doable. At YDL all youth staff were trained to follow the procedures but in most cases we then trained interns and volunteers who did a lot of the actual serving of lunches and cleanup. Usually youth staff or, in one case, a board member, would read the books, sometimes reading for 20 minutes or sometimes a whole hour because kids would WANT to hear stories that long. At our medium-sized downtown location, where I work, we served lunches for one hour, and served 25-45 kids Mon-Friday, kids ranged from 0-18 years old. We also tied in other programs, almost entirely educational in some way, before or after the lunches since we already had kids at the library. What did we notice? At the downtown location we have always had many tweens and teens that come during the summer and spend the entire day at the library. Some parents would bring smaller kids to the library and be there for a little too long. Kids would get more and more rowdy as the day went on, frequently asking us for food and getting bored. This year, there was less disruptive behavior, more engagement in library activities. Yes, we were definitely busier than ever but it was a "good" busy. This year we are doing it again and we're adding a morning snack. You can see a bit of PR on last year's program at: http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/06/free_lunch_program_for_kids_be.html http://stateofopportunity.michiganradio.org/post/michigan-library-lives-it-takes-village-idea This is a broader article on other libraries providing lunches: http://publiclibrariesonline.org/2014/07/calling-kids-to-the-library-lunch-table/ Hope this helps!

Hello, Sorry if you're getting hits twice through cross posting. One of my teachers tutors a 6th grade boy and his mom asked for reading suggestions for him, specifically in magazine form at grade level. As a girls' high school librarian with grown children, I'm at a loss. I have looked at NoveList, mostly because we heard a great presentation from an Ebsco rep at our recent MAME 17 spring meeting. I know they provide Lexile ratings on many books, read-alikes, and a multitude of ways to search and limit searches. I will show this to the teacher for sharing with the parent. However, NoveList covers books, which the parent said he is reluctant to read, hence my request for magazine suggestions. If you have any suggestions to pass along, please email me off list and I will compile a hit list and share it! Thanks for your collective wisdom and experience.

Most libraries are still working on this issue. Their responses are compiled below. Only the St. Charles District Library responded that they have a new written a policy at this time. Additional responses: We are looking here at LM to see if we can provide a template or more instructions for district libraries since that group is left on its own to share or reinvent the wheel. Spring Lake District Library is purchasing the packet of information prepared by Attorney Dick Butler which includes a board resolution and all the forms needed as well as procedures and guidelines. The requirements to comply with the law are complex and the penalties for failure to comply are substantial so it?s worth it to us to get these documents prepared by our attorney. If anyone wants to contact Dick to get more information his email is rbutler at bsmlawpc.com. Have the three of you seen the information on Anne Seurynck?s [ASeurynck at fosterswift.com ] package on this? She?s put together a package of all the documents, policies, procedures, etc. you need plus a resolution for your Board to pass. The package cost of $350 includes a telephone conference with her to answer questions and help you customize the documents for your circumstances if necessary. You can reach her at the email above or through Foster Swift Collins & Smith PC, 1700 East Beltline, NE, Suite 200, Grand Rapids, MI 49525, Phone: 616.726.2240, Fax:517.367.7196. She also has a free webinar at the Foster Swift website. Thank you, everyone, for your help. Right now we are planning on contacting Anne Seurynck for her package. -- Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W.

Message-ID: <041601d089a6$b4f4c160$1ede4420$@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. He/she manages public services through a team of direct reports and serves as a member of the Library?s Management Team. This position contributes to short and long-range planning, program development, and evaluation, and provides input into allocation of resources in support of the Library?s strategic initiatives. The Westport Library is a vibrant and welcoming community hub that reflects Westport?s spirit, creativity and entrepreneurship. Each day, an average of 1,300 patrons of all ages visit the Library to read and research (borrowing nearly 674,000 items last year), attend one of the Library?s 1,600 programs, consult with the Library?s expert reference librarians, use one of the Library?s ten 3-D printers, shop the Library store, meet friends at the Library Caf? or simply enjoy the camaraderie of being in a dynamic shared space. 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. The desire and ability to represent the Library throughout the Westport community and be an active community participant is required. This position must be flexible to work evenings and weekends when required. Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $80,000-100,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

OK - well, just the first part. I have been working with a Ross alumni member in the Royal Oak, Birmingham, Southfield area who has some books to donate. There are 20 books focused on the career path to becoming a consultant and organizational development. As many know, the Kresge Library no longer has a print collection (save for a few hundred titles) as a result of space downsizing related to the construction project at the Ross School of Business. So we cannot take these ourselves. The alumni member would ideally prefer that these items are donated for the collection, and not the book sale. I do not have a list, but I can connect any librarian to the alumni if anyone is interested. If you are interested, please write me and I will forward your name to the donor.

All, I am pleased to announce that TLN has entered into a new partnership with Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of the Emmy Award winning PBS show Under The Radar Michigan and Scribe Publishing Company http://utrmichigan.com/ They probably need no introduction to the Michigan library community, but here is what the director of one TLN library had to say about UTR: "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?" As part of our partnership Tom and Jim are offering Michigan libraries a discounted purchase opportunity for their book Under the Radar: Michigan http://scribe-publishing-company.myshopify.com/products/utr as well as the four dvd set of their show. Michigan libraries can purchase the book for just $16.00. List price is $24.95. Michigan libraries can purchase the complete four dvd set of the show for just $90.00. List price is $120.00. TLN will place one consolidated order, ship to your library, pay the vendor invoice, then bill your library. Please email your order(s) for the book and/or dvd set to me by no later than Friday, February 13. In order to facilitate the distribution process here, we ask that non-TLN libraries also include their RIDES delivery number with their order. The other aspect of this new partnership concerns promotion by UTR of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. Both Tom and Jim are media professionals. Their UTR Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan page has in excess of 45,000 likes. Their willingness to include MAP in their social media presence will be a huge boost to the promotional aspect of the program. To wit, here is what UTR has agreed to do, promotion-wise, with and for the MAP program: ** Support MAP communication efforts via their Social Media world ** Include a minimum of 1 post per month profiling events, press, news, etc that are part of MAP communication efforts ** Provide MAP with an ad presence for one year on the utrmichigan.com (Size: 90x120) ** UTR will include MAP events or news in its monthly newsletter, once per quarter. That is a lot of promotion, and it sounds like a lot of work, too! I think libraries are getting the easier end of the deal here :) Again, please send your orders for the UTR: Michigan book and/or four dvd set to my attention by no later than Friday, February 13. And don't forget to include that RIDES delivery number! Thanks.

You are Invited to Join 2015 Michigan Libraries for Life! Click here to view this invitation online. [smalllogo-01(1) (1).png] If you could save a life, would you? Most people would say ?Yes!? without hesitation. One of the simplest ways to save and improve lives is by supporting organ, tissue and eye donation. Since 2010, libraries across Michigan have participated in a simple and effective campaign to educate patrons about donation and transplantation, and to give them an opportunity to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry. The campaign is called Michigan Libraries for Life. This effort, which began with the University of Michigan?s Taubman Health Sciences Library, has expanded to include public, academic, special, and hospital libraries across the state. This collaborative effort has inspired more than 2,450 people to sign up as donors! ?We?ve received great feedback from library staff,? said Richard Pietroski, Gift of Life Michigan?s CEO. ?They appreciate having an easy yet meaningful way to engage their patrons in saving and improving lives. Michigan Libraries for Life gives hope to the 3,400 Michigan patients waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.? More than 95% of Americans support organ, tissue and eye donation. Yet in Michigan only 50% of adults have joined the state?s donor registry. That discrepancy is largely due to residents not knowing how to properly join the donor registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that information need in our state. ?Someone you know probably needs - or will someday need - a lifesaving organ or tissue transplant. People die waiting because not enough organs are available. Your library can be a great help by registering donors and providing information about organ donation,? said Anne Rau, Capital Area District Library librarian and living kidney donor. ?By participating in Michigan Libraries for Life your library is helping to save lives.? We are excited to bring this life-saving event back in 2015! Libraries are welcome to participate for as many hours as they are able to staff a registration table in their libraries, from 1 hour to 7 days. This year?s drive will start on Monday, October 5th and run through Sunday, October 11th. Gift of Life Michigan will provide a free in-person training for library representatives at their Ann Arbor office on Friday, August 14th and a west Michigan training session, date to be determined. We are also developing training materials for those who are unable to attend the in-person sessions. University of Michigan Shapiro Undergraduate Library ?I enjoyed taking part in this well-orchestrated event,? commented one librarian. ?I hope to participate again next year.? The key to this program's success is the participation of many libraries across the state. Your library is warmly invited to join the 2015 Michigan Libraries for Life organ donor registration drive. If your organization would like to participate in this year?s effort, please complete this registration form http://bit.ly/ML4L2015.

Executive Director position-Shreve (LA) Memorial Library Message-ID: <02c101d08dc2$5e740ce0$1b5c26a0$@gossagesager.com> Shreve (LA) Memorial Library-Executive Director Position Dream. Discover. Do. The Shreve Memorial Library Board of Control seeks an experienced "dreamer and a doer" to inspire vision while guiding the Library in providing quality services and programs to the Caddo Parish (LA) community. The new Library Director, in collaboration with the Board of Control, staff and stakeholders, will initiate and implement a new strategic direction and future focus for the Shreve Memorial Library. Governed by an eight-member appointed Board of Control and 2 Ex Officio--the Mayor and the Commission President, the Library serves the 255,000 citizens of the Parish with a committed staff (182 FTE), a $17.5 million annual operating budget, and 22 locations. In addition to 20 branches, SML supports a Main Library (on the Register of Historic Places), mobile outreach services, and the soon to be completed administrative/support services building (2015). Library revenues are generated through two dedicated, 10-year renewable property tax levies. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Director to guide a library system with diverse culture, strong public support, and a solid funding base for service and program development. Caddo Parish-the heart of the Ark-La-Tex region-is vibrant, innovative and growth oriented-building a dynamic future on the foundation of its past. The Parish contains eleven municipalities-each with its own local color and style. The largest metropolitan area and Parish seat is the City of Shreveport. Oil and gas have been produced since the early 1900s and continues even today as the area grows its tourism, healthcare and service economy roles. The Caddo Parish School System has approximately 40,000 students and 64 schools. Shreveport also has numerous private, parochial, and charter schools. Caddo Parish is home to LSU in Shreveport, Southern University in Shreveport, Centenary College and the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, as well as many public and private grade schools. Shreveport's redeveloped entertainment district is continuing to build on a thriving arts-centric community and hosts a number of festivals and celebrations, including six family-friendly Mardi Gras parades. The Parish also has many venues with which to experience history, music, art, and theater. Shreveport/Caddo Parish is the home of college football's Independence Bowl, the National Rose Center, one of the country's largest Farmer's Markets, the Red River Revel (one of the top 10 arts festivals in the country), the Louisiana Film Prize Film Festival, Sci-Port Discovery Center, and more. For additional information about the Library, Shreveport, and Caddo Parish, visit Shreve Links. Responsibilities. The Library Director has responsibility for administration of the Shreve Memorial Library and directs, plans, organizes and coordinates the operation of the entire library system; develops and recommends policies to the Board; plays a leading role in all funding initiatives; recommends budgets to the Board; develops the overall vision, goals and objectives for the Library; and directs services, programs, personnel, application of policy, and facilities. The Director is also responsible for the administration, including serving as president, of the Green/Gold Consortium-a consortium of libraries from 12 parishes in Northwest Louisiana. See a full job description for the position at SML Library Director Position Description. Qualifications include: a graduate degree in Library and/or Information Science studies from an ALA-accredited university; at least seven years of full-time professional library experience which reflects increasing responsibility, including at least four years in administrative capacity of a library; and certification by the Louisiana Board of Library Examiners.

The ideal candidate should have high standards of professional and personal conduct, have excellent communication skills, possess the ability to work effectively with the Library Board of Control and staff, have experience in planning and maintaining library facilities, and provide visionary leadership consistent with current library trends and best practices. The Director is expected to provide a leadership role and be the Library's official representative within the Library, the community, and the library profession.

We received donations in his name, and the family would like to set up a scholarship through the library, or our Friends, that would be available to two graduating seniors (in our school district) each spring. To keep the scholarship going the family would hold a fundraiser each year, such as a softball tournament. At this time the donations total almost $3000, so we could begin this year, as the family has requested. The family feels that a separate bank account should be established, and future donations could be deposited in this account. The board member has 8 children, two of which, are lawyers. The man who is requesting this is a lawyer, and believes this can be done legally, as long as donations are used. I wonder if any other library does this, and if so, I would like to hear about your experience. Also, if there are any reasons why this is not a good idea, I'd sure like to know that, soon!

Are you ready? Have you been getting calls and emails from patrons asking how to reserve a pass to Sleepy Hollow State Park? We have! Are you aware that the brand new MAP press release http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP_Press_Release_by_BlueCrossBlueShield_May_2015.pdf appeared in newspapers from Monroe to Midland to Marquette (and Iron Mountain), and in San Antonio, San Francisco and Seattle too? Are you aware that every public library in Michigan has been auto-enrolled in MAP, and that when new MAP goes live on May 24, we will have approximately one partner venue for every day of the year, including Leap Year, or about 366 in all? Are you aware that MAP kick-off events, with guests including state senators and representatives, were held at Alpena County Library and the Michigan Historical Museum, with more to come? Are you aware that the hugely popular MAP booklet is available for your library to print, at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP%20Brochure.pdf Are you aware that MAP posters and bookmarks, in addition to the press release and booklet, are available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Yes, there is a lot to be aware of, but more importantly much more to be excited about, concerning the Michigan Activity Pass program. We have tried to make things as easy as possible for you and your patrons, including the addition of a brand new "Detailed Help" link on the new MAP website that will debut on May 24. Also, for the first time patrons will have the ability to SEARCH the new MAP website for specific subject destinations that interest them, such as camping, children's activities, etc. Are you ready for new MAP, which includes all of the destinations from the former Park and Read program? Based on the number of telephone and email inquiries we have been getting, we know your patrons are ready! Are you ready???!!! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program.

MAP is an excellent, expanded, statewide example of the TLN mission statement in action. Plenty of collaboration, not to mention work, some of it actually pretty hard work :), has gone into the development of this program. But all work and no play makes MAP a dull boy, and I believe you would agree that the goal of MAP is for library patrons to have fun. TLN Executive Director Jim Pletz decided that MAP needed to have fun, too. So TLN Senior Delivery Driver Alex Thomas produced a MAP video, which we encourage you to watch, have fun, and share. The (human) stars are Damon Dye and Mike Vela from TLN. Scenes were shot at The Library Network, Trenton Veterans Memorial Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan Science Center, and Yankee Air Museum. To indulge, go to the TLN homepage http://tln.lib.mi.us/ scroll down to The Michigan Activity Pass in Action, click the play button, and enjoy!

We attracted a good sized group of seniors on top of our regulars for this program and it was amazing how many of our patrons had family connections to Copper Country.

Usually, LearningExpress resources are used online - in a library, at school, with a tutor, or at home. But sometimes, online usage isn't available or convenient. Just because a learner doesn't have a computer or internet access doesn't mean they can't practice algebra problems, review a study guide for a professional exam, or read up on test-taking tips. eBooks available in LearningExpress can be downloaded and opened in Adobe Reader and once downloaded, they can be read offline or even printed. These are the same high quality print publications many libraries purchase for their collections. So, you can reassure your patrons that they can begin/continue their learning with LearningExpress Library eBooks whether they're connected or not. 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 have a graphic artist that lives in Saline named Keith McGuire who does programs like that for us regularly. He has a blogsite - rkmcguires.blogspot.com. If you're interested, you could call him at 734-489-4324. Good luck! Leslee ***************************************************************************** Dear Mr. Bignotti, It's probably a long shot, but you can try Mark Crilley (http://markcrilley.com) for your intended comics drawing workshop. For our part, we had hosted him a few years back and he was both entertaining and artistically brilliant. I would recommend him with highest marks, so to speak. mark at markcrilley.com http://www.markcrilley.com/publicappearancesbio.html http://www.facebook.com/markcrilleyOFFICIAL Hope that this helps! Sincerely, Dominic McLaughlin Adult Services Librarian Romeo District Library ***************************************************************************** My husband Everett works at the DIA. I asked him for suggestions. Here is his reply: "I've got an email in to our Studio Manager. You might also try contacting Green Brain Comics, or Detroit Comics? Good luck!

She's an author/illustrator based out of Pinckney. Her books are for younger readers, but she did wonderful classes for teens at the Brighton District Library. She's also really reasonably priced. I've also hired Ryan Hipp from Grand Rapids, but he costs more because of his lengthy drive. He was so fun, we brought him back for our staff in-service! Good luck with your program, Anne Cnockaert Youth Services Librarian Brighton District Library Brighton, MI 48116 annec at brightonlibrary.info 810/229-6571, x210 ******************************************************************************** Hello, I am using Abrakadoole Art Studio out of Canton.

It's MAP Time! In-Reply-To: <177554577.15887338.1432302610912.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <1732232496.15930230.1432321433247.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, I am pleased to report that while the official kick-off for MAP is Sunday, May 24, you and your patrons can see the hugely expanded (112 venues last year, 370+ this year), 2015-2016 edition of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program, RIGHT NOW, at http://michiganactivitypass.info Indeed, many of your patrons have already discovered new, improved and vastly expanded MAP, as we've had a large number of checkouts, beginning with a trickle Wednesday evening when we first put up the new site but really taking off yesterday, Thursday. We expect ginormous MAP checkout numbers over the long holiday weekend. For those whose library staff and patrons might be brand new to MAP, or for those who are familiar with MAP but need a refresher course, Brigette at TLN created this very helpful, Detailed Help document: http://tln.lib.mi.us/images/MAP/How%20to%20check%20out%20a%20Michigan%20Activity%20Pass.pdf The Detailed Help document is also available at the new MAP website. Promotional materials for MAP, including the logo, bookmarks, brochure, posters and press release, are here: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? Wherever and whatever, MAP is for you! Remember, with the merger of the Park and Read program into the MAP program, MAP is THE ONLY place to obtain passes to Michigan's state parks, state recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, and state historic sites. In fact, with the merger and expansion of the program, we now have one MAP site for every day of the calendar year, and then some! Want to pet a sea urchin? Who doesn't?! This place is for you: https://www.visitsealife.com/michigan/ Ready to get away from it all? Here is the description at the MAP website for Lime Island State Recreation Area: http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/details.aspx?id=695&type=SPRK#overview "Visitors to the Island must charter or navigate a boat 3.0 miles across the St. Mary's River. Vehicle parking is available inland at Raber. Use of a non-motorized boat to reach the island is NOT recommended." Remember, those 1,000 foot ore carriers that navigate their way up and down the St. Mary's River neither stop nor turn on a dime! Feel the need to go underground? Experience my grandfather's, and all of my uncles as well, work day, which consisted of blowing up rock that contained copper. You won't blow up when you take the Quincy Mine Tour http://quincymine.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=4&chapter=4 but you will get a sense as to what work life was like for many of these workers in the Keweenaw, back in the day. Of course there are many (most, actually) library patrons, not to mention all library staff, whose tastes are far more sophisticated than mine are. Fortunately for those folks, the MAP possibilities are almost endless, too. The Detroit Institute of Arts http://www.dia.org/ the Cranbrook Art Museum http://www.cranbrookart.edu/museum/ and Meadow Brook Hall http://www.meadowbrookhall.org/ are all top-notch destinations. In other words, MAP has something that will not only meet but exceed, the needs and expectations of all of your library's patrons. A lot of work has gone into producing and rolling out the MAP program. Thank you to all of you for your promotion of the MAP program to your patrons, as well as for your outreach to potential cultural partners in your communities. Many new venues joined MAP solely on account your efforts. Thanks of course, to the cultural partners themselves. They receive no direct reimbursement at all from being a participant in MAP, so you (and your patrons) will want to be sure to thank them when you visit. Our MAP sponsors Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Institute of Museum and Library Services, Department of Natural Resources, Cooperative Director's Association, Michigan Recreation and Parks Association, Plymouth Rocket, Library of Michigan, Mi Big Green Gym, and of course, The Library Network deserve a round of applause. Our software developer/programmer has spent a ton of hours, some of which I know about and many more that I don't, working to make our MAP program software the best that it can be. He has succeeded, and then some. Finally, a big thank you to all of my colleagues at The Library Network, especially Brigette, without whose hard work MAP would not have been possible. TLN is closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I don't anticipate any problems with the MAP website during that time. In the (highly unlikely) event something goes south over the holiday weekend, I have our software developer's home and cell phone numbers, and he has mine. Between planting flats of impatiens, petunias and marigolds and eating hot dogs at a Toledo Mud Hens game I will be checking work email, as well as the gmail account that is linked to MAP help, during the holiday weekend.

If you?re looking for an interesting speaker, I highly recommend Rob Pulcipher. He gave a slide presentation here recently on bicycling in southeast Michigan. He covered some of the history of how biking trails developed and showed slides of good areas for dirt road and urban biking. His two books, ?Best Bike Rides Detroit and Ann Arbor? and ?Dirt Road Washtenaw: Biking the Back Roads,? were also available for sale. We had a good turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy it. His fee was reasonable, and I would be glad to pass along his contact information. -Debbie Johnson --------------------------------------------------------- Debbie Johnson, Head of Adult Services Saline District Library 555 N.

As they are in MARC format the records in the attached file will download into any ils. Please see attached. I am very pleased to report that unlike the Mud Hens relief pitching of Saturday night, which melted down quite badly (perhaps the young pitchers aren't acclimated to the new pitch clock yet? AAA level baseball is experimenting with a pitch clock this year, in an effort to quicken the pace of the game) the official launch of MAP on Sunday, May 24 went off without a hitch, and took off like a rocket! We've had passes reserved at libraries from Monroe County Library System in the far south, to Ontonogan Township Library in the far north. The online MAP state park, state recreation area, state forest campground, and state historic site passes, which were formerly available as printed passes through the Park and Read program and are exclusive to online MAP now, have proven to be especially popular. Do kids still skip high school on the warm days so as to be able to hang out at the state parks and state recreation areas, as my friends and I so used to enjoy doing??? Today they can do it in style, and gratis, with a MAP pass. Please remember that with MAP, there are no physical passes. The (previously) physical passes and checkout cards from the former Park and Read program are all part of online MAP now. Patrons print their own passes to more than 370 destinations, including 230+ state parks, state recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, and state historic sites, from the MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info For your patrons, this means convenience, in that they can print their passes either at the library, or at home. It also means convenience for you, as we've heard that in previous years the huge popularity of the Park and Read passes caused said passes to grow legs and, armed with new legs, sneak their way out of the library. No more! Also, MAP is a year round program. This means that patrons will have 12 month MAP access to those state parks that are open outside the traditional May through September/October season. Finally, with each library having five MAP passes per seven day period per venue, including for the state parks, to make available to their patrons, you probably won't have to worry about running out of passes. And even if you do, one of the really nice things about MAP is that there are so many destinations available, particularly with the addition of the 230+ DNR sites, that if you do happen to bump up against your library's five passes per cultural venue per seven day period limit, you can suggest an alternative venue for your patron. There truly is something for everyone, both indoor and outdoor alike, in MAP. Don't forget to "Like" the MAP Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP/510259192344845 Need MAP swag? Print the brochure, bookmarks and posters at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ The MAP logo is also available there, to include on your library's homepage with the http://michiganactivitypass.info/ url embedded in it. Know of additional potential cultural partners for MAP in your community? We want to talk to them! Send them to me. Or "recruit" them yourselves. Many of you have already done so, for which we are very appreciative. As always, thank you for your support and promotion of the (now all online, including the state park passes) Michigan Activity Pass program.
