Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2015, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 170 story times and gave away donated books to more than 6,000 families in 50 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of Rosemary Well's Bunny Money for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of Bunny Money for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before November 13: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MoneySmart2016. r. _______________________________________________________________________________ Randy Riley State Librarian Library of Michigan rileyr1 at michigan.gov (517) 373-5860 www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/ _______________________________________________________________________________ DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 23-30, 2016. Between April 23-30, 2016, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of Rosemary Wells' Bunny Money book to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 23-30, 2016. http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/330184/bunny-money-by-rosemary-wells-illustrated-by-rosemary-wells/ The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 170 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org/>. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 23-30, 2016. Recommended age for Bunny Money is 3 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before November 13. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MoneySmart2016 4. Between January 1st and 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org/>. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Bunny Money book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By Friday November 13, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited budget, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MoneySmart2016. Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MichiganChair at MoneySmartWeek.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have seen something, possibly on michlib-l, about posting a sign for kids to find a designated item in the library (usually a stuffed animal), and reporting it for a prize. Have not been able to find such a thing in the archives or elsewhere online. A nearby public library had such a sign about a month ago, but I didn't follow up that day, and no one in the children's department knew anything about it when I asked two weeks later. There are a few guesses I could make about implementation, but I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried this activity, or a similar one. How do the kids report? Do they describe the location? Do they draw a picture? It seemed straightforward, but when I thought I was ready to start it, I came up with more questions that firm ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

Hubert tells of Hitler's rise to power and what it meant to the German people and his time in the Hitler Youth. He lived in Cologne, Germany (800,000 population), which was bombed over a two year period by about 1500 bombers at a time. He was a fireman during the fire raids and will tell about rescues and recovery of the victims. Lintz will be present at the program to answer any questions about his experience.

Parchment Community Library Invites You to a Special Program November 4, 2015, 6:30 pm A Thousand Letters Home --? Author Teresa Irish Presents "The Journey of the Letters" Teresa Irish presents the entertaining, inspirational and life-affirming story of The Journey of the Letters. After the 2006 death of her father, Bud, recipient of the Silver Star, Purple Heart, and two Bronze Stars, Teresa found the 1,000 letters he wrote home from WWII and 250 corresponding photographs. Visited only by him over the course of six decades, the letters were postmarked from Nov 1942 to Dec 1945. The fragile, yellowed pages were written to Bud's parents, and to the sweetheart who would later become his wife. These treasures are the basis for the book "A Thousand Letters Home". >From lonesome, moonlit nights listening to the Hit Parade, to the foxholes and front lines in Germany, to correspondence with the heartbroken mothers whose sons died by his side, this is a historic story of life & loss, hope & perseverance, unwavering faith & true love. The program is a heartfelt journey back in time, a tribute to our country's history, freedoms and family values, and a call to citizenship in today's world. Irish's storytelling, accompanied by 1940s photographs and music, has audiences laughing, crying, and reminiscing. This program reaches across generations with a little something for everyone. Hardcover and softcover books will be available for sale & signing. This event is free and open to the public at the Parchment Community Library, 401 S. Riverview Drive, Parchment, MI. Limited to 50 participants, call 269-343-7747 or visit parchmentlibrary.org to register.? -- Kristy Zeluff, Adult Services Coordinator Parchment Community Library Ph. 269.343.7747 Kristy at parchmentlibrary.org www.parchmentlibrary.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The goal of the campaign is to increase public awareness of the transformation occurring in libraries, the role that libraries play in transforming communities and individual lives, and to ultimately increase support for libraries of all types. Libraries around the country are being asked to participate in this multi-year campaign. It is being promoted to the ALA membership via emails, videos and a website presence.

Money affects all Americans, but many of us lack the knowledge we need to make smart financial choices that will prepare us for whatever the future brings. Thinking Money strives to teach tweens, teens and their parents, caregivers and educators about financial literacy topics ? like saving, spending and avoiding fraud ? in a way that is not only understandable, but fun. Thinking Money is a museum-quality exhibition that will travel to 50 U.S. public libraries between 2016 and 2018. Through an adventure-themed storyline, interactive iPad content and other fun, hands-on activities, the exhibition explores themes like wants vs. needs, preparing for a rainy/sunny day, and imagining your future self. Each selected site will receive: - the 1,000-square-foot traveling exhibition ? including two iPads preloaded with fun educational content and four low-tech activity stations ? for a six-week loan; - travel and accommodations to attend an orientation workshop at the 2016 ALA Annual Conference in Orlando; - online training modules for library staff; - tips and tools for related programs; and - a $1,000 programming allowance. For guidelines and to apply online, visit www.ala.org/thinkingmoney. Applications are due Jan. 29, 2016. Prospective applicants are encouraged to attend one of two informational conference calls about the exhibition on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 12 p.m. CST or Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. CST. To register for a conference call, please email Brian Russell with your preferred date. ALA and the FINRA Foundation have partnered since 2007 on Smart investing @ your library, a program that funds library efforts to provide patrons with effective, unbiased educational resources about personal finance and investing. Now in its eighth year, the program has awarded over $10 million to public libraries, community college libraries and library networks nationwide. ALA and the FINRA Foundation are also working together on a research study of financial literacy resources and services available in U.S. public libraries. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With your help, we can reach 2,000 signers. But if we are going to have an impact, it's critical that we get 5,000 signatures before we deliver the petition to Senator Jack Brandenburg, Chair, Senate Finance Committee and Representative Jeff Farrington, Chair, House Tax Policy Committee. The entire State of Michigan is being drained, county by county. The result of the dark stores rulings reduces the stores' taxable value by 50% or more. This takes away local control of funding. Key services to citizens are being severely impacted: libraries, fire protection, search and rescue, sheriff/police services, roads, veterans, recreational, public transit, schools and seniors. It affects local budgets across the board. Our communities AND LIBRARIES are suffering and we need to convince Senate and House tax committee members to support all Michigan communities through solid tax legislation and updated Tax Tribunal policies. Our Upper Peninsula district legislators have been working on this problem since 2011-12, but previous legislation never got out of committee. Please don't let that happen to this new legislation. Can your municipalities afford it? With your help, we can reach our goal! Can you please share this link with five of your friends and relatives right now!!! http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/combat-dark-store-tax-3?mailing_id=31738&source=s.icn.em.cr&r_by=4988516. Would you also contact your MI State Senator and Legislator to tell them you support 'Dark Store' legislation.

I've included the responses and contact information I received to my original post.* *Albion District Library has in the past and will continue in 2016 to offer a Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan Silver $2,000 Plan to our 5 full-time employees at 80% coverage by the Library and to eligible spouses and dependents at **50% coverage by the Library**. By offering the plan, which meets the "affordable" guideline of the ACA, spouses and dependents without other coverage are obligated to take it or lose any available subsidy. This has proved upsetting to some of our employees, because it meant that they couldn't choose a less expensive plan that might be more affordable to them. We felt it was generous to offer 50% for non-employees. * *We offer a compensated opt-out plan, but only to employees who have insurance available to them by another avenue, usually a spouse'sinsurance, and who opt out their entire family. We do not offer an opt-out stipend to employees who only opt out their spouse or dependents. We have an spousal insurance verification form that we use, and I can make that available to any who would like it. * *We considered the BCBS Suite Option, which is new this year. The employer chooses one suite of four. Each includes four options. Your employees to choose which plan of the four in the suite that their employer has selected that they'll use for themselves and any covered spouses and dependents. You can use a percentage or dollar amount that you contribute, but it must be uniform. This was the element that broke this as an option for us. We have some employees that are very young and some that are near retirement. No matter which one we picked, it wouldn't be a cohesive and consistent an option depending on the employee or the plan they chose. * *Please note that I did receive feedback from our attorney that it is against the law for district libraries to opt out of the 80/20 rule for municipal employees contributing to their own insurance. If any of you are in that situation, it may be worthwhile to double-check that with your attorney to make sure your benefits are in line with the current law. * *Hope this helps. * *Cynthia Stanczak* *Interim DirectorHead of Adult ServicesAlbion District Library501 S.

Online at www.albionlibrary.org , or find us on Facebook! * ______________________ The library provides health, vision and dental insurance to FT employees -- FT is considered anyone over 30 hrs. (there are only 2 of us). No benefits to spouses or children. FT pay 20% of health only. $1000 deductible, employee pays first $250, library picks up the $750, We have Priority Health, Lincoln Dental (and Lincoln also for disability and life insurance) and VSP for vision. We've been using Creative Benefits out of Muskegon for years to negotiate the best deals for us. Susan Wess, M.L.I.S. Director 151 Wabash St. Milan, MI 48160 734.439.1240 734.439.5625 -- FAX _____________________ We offer a benefit credit of $5300 and take life insurance out of that, which leaves about $5000 for staff to pay for health insurance or put into a 457B. We currently still sponsor a plan- Gold level from BCN- and that amount of money covers staff differently depending on how old they are now that all plan are priced by age. It covers the whole cost for younger staff, only about half for older ones. We only have two staff persons still needing our plan so are considering just giving them the money to spend in the Marketplace next year. We would be interested in what others doing. -- Linda Ballard Interim Director Chelsea District Library 734-475-8732 _____________________ We've kept a decent BCBS plan for full time staff and their families. (Total went down .17% for 2016--woo hoo!) Staff used to pay 10% but we went up to the 20% a couple of years ago, and with the increase last year went up to 22.51% (the cost of the total increase for 2015). Vision is included with the BCBS, and we do have Delta Dental as well, with a 10% premium percentage for staff. The plan we have has an HRA component, so we pay $1500 for their deductibles. (It used to be the total cost of the out-of-pocket so this is great! And it's all we're allowed to pay by law, I understand.) If you get someone who moved to stipend-based, I'd like to hear about it as it's an option we're considering. And no, staff was NOT happy with our changes but we did keep a very good plan. It's just costing them more--well, those above a certain age. The younger ones are benefitting from the new method of calculating premiums. Melissa Malcolm ____________________ We continue to look at this every year. We just got our renewal information last week. For this current year, we are on the 80/20. I don?t know what the board will decide for the coming year, but with the individual level pricing, 80/20 seems to be the most fair to everyone. Karen Knox Director Orion Township Public Library 825 Joslyn Road Lake Orion, MI 48362 (248) 693-3000 x305 kknox at orionlibrary.org ____________________ We have 12 staff members and only 2 are full time and offered insurance. The library funds both plans at 100% and the plans cover the employee only- not family. We do not cover any deductibles. We also offer vision and dental-those rates are fairly reasonable. We opt out of the employee contribution rate. I think the higher the rates go, the response will continue to be to hire workers part time to avoid having to pay for insurance (as has been the trend in libraries for years now). And believe me I don't like that trend, I would prefer to have more full time staff with benefits because it undercuts the profession not to. That being said, the Branch Manager position does not require a college degree. Only my position requires the MLIS. Also, I don't think there is a requirement to pay for employees insurance at all even if they are full time? At least if you are under 50 employees. Not that I would go that direction but I don't think it is required. Thank you, Jami Cromley Director Community District Library 989-743-3287 www.mycdl.org ____________________ We have the 80/20 set up for insurance here. Library pays 80% and staff pays 20%. There is no buy out offered if you decline the insurance. Only those who are full time receive the option of health insurance and we only have 2 full time staff; all other staff will be part-time hours only. We get our insurance through the township?s plan but the Library Board does review the costs each year and review options but currently choose to keep it the 80/20 through township?s plan. BillieJo Bluemer Library Director Rauchholz Memorial Library 1140 N Hemlock Rd Hemlock MI 48626 989-642-8621 billiejo at rauchholzlibrary.org ____________________ Remember you cannot give a stipend and let staff buy health insurance on the federal exchange. That is against the law. See attached document. If you have less than 50 employees you do not have to provide health insurance. Of course it may be hard tor recruit new staff. I think what everyone has done is raise employee contribution to premium and decreased benefits to keep it affordable. Unfortunately as some point you have a pretty bad health plan. Some libraries may have gone around the law prohibiting stipends and gave staff raises instead for them to have more money to buy health insurance. This would be taxed though. And check with an attorney, if caught circumventing the law you could have big fines with raises. So this is iffy. Sandra Wilson Lakeland Library Cooperative Director sandra at llcoop.org 616-559-5253 x201 616-559-4329 FAX 4138 Three Mile Rd. NW Grand Rapids, MI 49534 ____________________ Canton Public Library does continue to offer insurance to our 16 full-time employees for single, two-person, and family coverage. We used to have several plans to choose from, but now we offer just one healthcare plan, Healthy Blue Living from BCBSM. The library complies with PA 152; we pay 80% of the premium and employees pay 20% through payroll deduction. Deductibles and copays are the employee?s responsibility, though we do offer an optional flexible spending account (125 plan) through BASIC that is funded through employee contributions (no library contributions). We have optical reimbursement for single, two-person, and families at a maximum of $200 per person per year (we are self-funded)?again, only for the 16 full-time employees. We offer dental to our 16 full-time employees through Canton Township?s Delta Dental Plan. The Township has a much larger group and so we get good rates as compared to doing it on our own. As an aside: We use Kapnick Insurance in Ann Arbor as our benefit consultant. Dave Huntzicker is our rep. He does an annual analysis and brings us the best options and rates for the medical plan, dental, vision, disability, and employee assistance program. He insures that we are in compliance with all laws and regulations and fills us in on anything coming down the pike. Dave does the open enrollment presentation for staff and answers any questions they have. He is able to explain complexities like the Affordable Care Act and put in context how the library?s healthcare plans stack up against what he?s seeing with other municipalities and governmental units. This helped a lot when we changed our plans. Kapnick has customer service staff who will work with individual employees as they navigate the healthcare coverage bureaucracy and mediate any issues with coverage; this has saved my HR person a ton of time and headache and is a great service. All of this costs us nothing directly, and we are very pleased with Kapnick?s service. I am happy to put you in touch with Dave if you?d like; let me know. Hope this helps, Eva Eva Davis, Director Canton Public Library 1200 S. Canton Center Rd. Canton, MI 48188 734-397-0999 x1065 davise at cantonpl.org __________________ We do provide health, vision and dental for our full-time staff and their dependents. The library pays the full amount. The employee is responsible for the co-pay costs. It is with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan. It is not fantastic insurance, but we are very grateful that the library pays for it for us.

That's right, on this gorgeous November day we are extremely pleased to share with you the awesome news that the fantastic Michigan Activity Pass program will return in the beautiful month of May, 2016!!! How's that for a complete and total overuse of superlatives? Yes, earlier today we received word from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan that on account the overwhelming success of MAP, thanks to your hard work, BCBSM is "in" as our primary sponsor again in 2016! I see examples of your promotional activity all the time. As a for instance, I recently received a call from a museum in the Upper Peninsula. A library director in the community where the museum is located, gave a presentation to the museum's board. The museum's board members were so impressed that they decided to get on board with MAP, effective with their opening for the season next spring. That's what we want to hear! We have said all along that while we are pleased with the progress we've made with MAP in the eight years it and its predecessor program have been in existence, we are always striving to take the program to the next level. We do have a few ideas in that regard which will hopefully come to fruition next year. You can help us move forward by doing what the U.P. library director did, and becoming an ambassador for MAP to cultural attractions that are located in your community. None of these institutions know what TLN the MAP recruiter is. But as public libraries you have the contacts and the credibility to more than make up for that. In other words, if you know of potential cultural partners, reach out to them! Or send them to me and I'll do the outreach. I'm not shy :) Please share the terrific news regarding the renewal of MAP for 2016 with your staff, and everyone else! Thank you for your support and promotion on behalf of the Michigan Activity Pass program. As you have seen in the emails and statistical reports, 2015 has truly represented a watershed year for MAP.

In this webinar, you can discover at least three ways to shift your library from good enough to unexpectedly amazing, and to take your community's image of the public library to new heights. Locate your library's first impressions, displays, customer service, policies and more on the "Yes-O-Meter" and understand how to move from "No" or "Yes, but..." to a powerful culture of "Yes, and!"

Family Literacy at a Food Pantry Thursday, December 3, 2015 - 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific - 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/family-literacy-at-a-food-pantry.html The Cazenovia Public Library is connecting the dots between early literacy, the local food pantry and family well-being, and they?re doing it all on a small budget. Starting with an Early Literacy project at the CazCares food pantry, library outreach coordinators began to build more in-depth relationships with the food pantry?s clients. Their interactions led to unexpected positive outcomes: ? adults obtaining their high school equivalency through the library tutoring program; ? school age children participating in an interactive summer learning program and book club; ? and the food pantry becoming the site for ESL classes, Dolly Parton Imagination Library sign ups and health literacy initiatives. Find out how this innovative library team supplemented their small budget with donations and volunteers to make Family Literacy work for the community. Presented by: Betsy Kennedy, Director, Cazenovia Public Library This is an encore presentation from the 2015 Association for Rural & Small Libraries conference. Highlighted content from WebJunction ? The recently released 2014 Digital Inclusion Survey results provides valuable and telling data from a national study that explores the digital inclusion roles that public libraries play in our communities. A great way to see what?s in happening in public libraries throughout the country! ? We can all benefit from learning to approach conflict as an opportunity for growth. This webinar recap explores ways to use healthy communication skills to address conflict and proactively contribute to a happier workplace. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Matt from Michigan Brew Supply Co. came out and did a homebrew demonstration for our patrons. It was a 2 ? hour class, and in that time, he brewed the makings of a porter. He talked about how to safely homebrew, the history of brewing beer, the craft beer culture in Michigan, the ingredients that go into it, and so much more. Patrons got to taste different types of malted barley, smell fresh hops, taste other homebrew samples, and even help stir the pot. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. I asked him if he would be willing to go to other libraries and he said yes. They are based out of the Midland area and he said that he would be willing to drive 1-2 hours from that area for a class, further if the library paid for his travel. He only charged us the cost of the brew kit, which was under $40. Their website is https://www.mibrewsupply.com/ but I did all of my correspondence with Nicole, the co-owner, through their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MiBrewSupply/ . Nicole?s e-mail is nicolev at mibrewsupply.com and the shop # is 989-486-9265. I highly recommend them. Erin Schm?ndt Director Caro Area District Library 840 W.

Matt from Michigan Brew Supply Co. came out and did a homebrew demonstration for our patrons. It was a 2 ? hour class, and in that time, he brewed the makings of a porter. He talked about how to safely homebrew, the history of brewing beer, the craft beer culture in Michigan, the ingredients that go into it, and so much more.? Patrons got to taste different types of malted barley, smell fresh hops, taste other homebrew samples, and even help stir the pot. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. I asked him if he would be willing to go to other libraries and he said yes. They are based out of the Midland area and he said that he would be willing to drive 1-2 hours from that area for a class, further if the library paid for his travel. He only charged us the cost of the brew kit, which was under $40.

Message-ID: <563B85BE.8000109@cromaine.org> Renee Chodkowski, the Great Foodini, presented last night at Hartland's Cromaine District Library. In a program titled "Post-Apocalyptic Dining with The Great Foodini," our pop-up chef took native Michigan ingredients and transformed them into a satisfying menu. Renee talked about the Great Michigan Read /Station Eleven/(which she had clearly read)/, /and her research into primitive food preparation, and gave an informative presentation on turning modern recipes into survival recipes.She told patrons she loved the way the book made her think about the comforts and conveniences in our lives and it inspired her to go beyond the grocery store and more into her backyard for ingredients!The food was delicious, fresh, and healthy and The Great Foodini was a delight with her wit, stories, and discussion. After, she told us she'll tailor each presentation across the state for what's in season. And, as always with Renee, there were incredible aromas in the library and fabulous samples, plus takeaway recipes. Want another inducement to get on board with the Michigan Humanities Council's Great Michigan Read in the 2015-2017 period? Bring the book to life with Renee. Consider: It?s time to eat in year 20 of the post-apocalyptic world of west coast Michigan/. /The local grocery stores are abandoned shells, electricity is gone, and a nomadic lifestyle on a road full of danger and unknowns is not conducive to slow-cooked, elaborate meals.What would be eaten?Foods such as venison, fish, blueberries, fiddlehead ferns, apples and maple syrup.Remember, "Survival is not enough."

They performed at our September 20th kickoff/book distribution event and people loved them - our audience ranged from high school students to patrons in their 80s and we had great comments from them all. Even with additional travel costs for the trip to northern Michigan, the total cost was under $450. They introduced the book and spoke briefly about the connections to Shakespeare's time, and also read excerpts from the book between scenes. We also scheduled a cooking program, but took ours outdoors. For our Campfire Cookery class we built a big fire pit behind the library and showed participants how to cook a full meal (including dessert and coffee) on an open campfire using various techniques. Even though the temperatures dipped into the 50s on the night of the program, we had a good turnout . People came bundled up and stayed beyond the end of the program to enjoy the warmth of the fire. Our instructor donated her time and equipment, staff donated the firewood, and our total cost for food and travel was $103.00. I think I might do this again in the spring before camping season begins because we had so much fun. Paper collage artist Beth Bynum from Kingsley led a very successful "Read and Create" art program for us. I highly recommend her! We wrapped up our Great Michigan Read on Monday night with a visit from the author. It has been a hectic six weeks, but worth all the effort put into it. I agree with Ceci.if you are still considering participation in the Great Michigan Read, go for it. Maureen Maureen Derenzy, Library Director Otsego County Library 700 S.

Please excuse cross-postings! I wrote this survey as a result of the IMLS Focus 2015: The National Digital Platform in April. The discussion centered around whether Library, Information Science, Archival and Museum (LAM) programs were adequately preparing students for the workplace. I have created a survey of employers to better examine this question. This can definitely lead to further research but I wanted to move the discussion along. If you can please forward this widely to any list that you participate on in the field, that would be great. Any one who hires graduates of LAM would be a candidate to take the survey. I promise that it is quick (less than 10 minutes) and you do not have to research any statistics from your institution. If you hire, you will know the answers to the questions. The survey is due December 3, 2015 Please contact me with any questions. I plan to share the information but it depends on you to respond. I need some significant numbers here in order to see the trends. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R2YWGRX Best, Kim Schroeder Coordinator, Archival Program Lecturer and Career Advisor Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science Faculty Advisor for National Digital Stewardship Alliance http://wsustudentndsa.wordpress.com/ @archivekim ag1797 at wayne.edu [https://outlook.office.com/owa/?realm=wayne.edu#path=/mail/inbox]313 577-9783 Career Advising Page http://students.slis.wayne.edu/students/planning.php" Best, Kim Schroeder Coordinator, Archival Program Lecturer and Career Advisor Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science Faculty Advisor for National Digital Stewardship Alliance http://wsustudentndsa.wordpress.com/ @archivekim ag1797 at wayne.edu 313 577-9783 Career Advising Page http://students.slis.wayne.edu/students/planning.php -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2015, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 170 story times and gave away donated books to more than 6,000 families in 50 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of Rosemary Well's Bunny Money for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of Bunny Money for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before November 13: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MoneySmart2016. r. _______________________________________________________________________________ Randy Riley State Librarian Library of Michigan rileyr1 at michigan.gov (517) 373-5860 www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/ _______________________________________________________________________________ DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 23-30, 2016. Between April 23-30, 2016, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of Rosemary Wells' Bunny Money book to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 23-30, 2016. http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/330184/bunny-money-by-rosemary-wells-illustrated-by-rosemary-wells/ The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 170 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org/>. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 23-30, 2016. Recommended age for Bunny Money is 3 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before November 13. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MoneySmart2016 4. Between January 1st and 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeekPartners.org/>. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Bunny Money book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By Friday November 13, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited budget, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MoneySmart2016. Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MichiganChair at MoneySmartWeek.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, the newer TVs, it turns out, did away with that option. So, I did a little research and found that a lot of museums (that also love to have rotating digital informational displays) got around that problem by using a Micca Speck. We ordered ours through Amazon for about $40 and it's been fabulous. We update and change out our information on a flash drive that we plug in to the TV and the Micca Speck does the work of the continuous rotation of information.

You want to purchase one that is made for digital signs, like: https://www.cdwg.com/shop/products/LG-55LS35A-5B-55in-Class-54.64in-viewable-LED-display/3563679.aspx?pfm=srh We use a little ASUS eee-pc (a really small computer) and mount them behind the monitors. Most of the PC's are running Linux, but a couple run windows. As far as the messaging on the screen, we run a little web page image gallery on our web server and the screen PC's are just showing that web page. Some monitors now days can do all of this by themselves, but if you put a PC behind the monitor, you can also use the monitor for other uses, like Power Point shows for guest speakers and such. The PC's are remotely turned on by one of our servers through WOL (wake-on-lan). We've been doing it this way for several years now and it's worked out really well.

If you've ever wanted to be part of an exciting endeavor, here's your chance to review entries for the Write Michigan Short Story contest. Who: Librarians, Readers and Booksellers from around the state What: The Write Michigan Short Story contest is taking entries for all ages from people who live in Michigan and awarding cash prizes to the winners. Kent District Library and Schuler Books partner to put on this contest - now in its 4th year. Where: Submissions will be available for review online. Volunteers will be given a login. When: Reading/reviewing will take place from Dec 7, 2015 and Jan 3, 2016. How: Volunteers are asked to read entries in one of three age categories (youth - under 12 years, teen - 12-17 years, and adult - 18 years and over). Each volunteer could have 10-13 stories total. Each story will be read by two volunteers. Story authors will not be disclosed but we ask that if volunteers have entered the contest or have friends/family who did, that they volunteer to review another contest category. Why: We want to extend this opportunity to those who love to read, who love to promote the written word, and who love to see good things happen to people! If this sounds interesting to you, please respond to Michelle Boisvenue-Fox (mboisvenue-fox at kdl.org) with the information below by Friday, November 20. If you are available to review stories that last weekend of the contest, this would be additional stories that other volunteers did not finish reviewing. And we are exploring the opportunity to expand our contest to Spanish-language stories. We have a number of reviewers returning from last year that can review in Spanish. We don't yet have judges that can do this but if these stories made it to the final round, they would be included in the Readers Choice contest (where people vote on the website for their favorite story). So let me know if you can review Spanish Language stories. Learn more about the contest at www.writemichigan.org Details: 1. Name / Email address 2. Organization 3. First Choice category (adult | teen | youth | No Preference) 4. Second Choice category (adult | teen | youth | No Preference) 5. Last minute reviewing? Yes or no. 6. Review in Spanish? Yes or no. The contest ends on November 30 so don't delay! Thanks for your responses.

The book sounds familiar to me, but I can't think of the title. The general idea of the story: A general or mayor is in charge of a town and dictates that all the people must wear the same thing and all of the houses and yards must look alike (all white, maybe?) Then, a new family moves to town and they dress in a multitude of colors and paint their house all kinds of different colors. They are fun to be with and friendly to all of the town's citizens. The general/mayor can't stand them because they refuse to follow his rules. He commands one night that the one house that is different should be bulldozed. However, all of the citizens turn the tables on the general/mayor by painting their own houses in a colorful way, so that the only different house belongs to the general/mayor. In the morning, his house is the one that has been torn down. Does anyone recall the title of this book?

We hope to see letters from your patrons! _______________________________ The Library of Michigan is announcing the 2016 Letters about Literature program. We are the Michigan host for this national program from the Library of Congress. It is a reading-writing contest that invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to write letters to authors of books that have changed their lives. This program gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on a book. As readers, they come to understand how literature is more than assignment, but also a life changing experience. Children and teens can participate on their own or as part of a library or class project. The 2016 letters will be due in two waves. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 4, 2015 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 11, 2016. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2016. You can find more information about the national program at www.read.gov/letters/ and the Michigan program at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices. Please find the 2016 letter and entry form at the direct links below. * 2016 Program Letter * 2016 Program Guidelines and Entry Form If you have any questions about the program, please contact me.

It is called "Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words". Larry has videotaped interviews with several WWII vets who share their stories about different aspect of the war. The interview he showed at our event was one he did with Warner Klemm who was about 200 yards from the USS Arizona when it was attacked at Pearl Harbor. Even the "history buffs" in the audience learned quite a bit that night. We had a great mixture of ages at the program and everyone who came enjoyed it very much. Larry is a very engaging presenter and comes with lots of great war memorabilia that he has collected over the years. If there are WWII vets in your community, he will also contact them about being interviewed at the program in addition to or in place of the videotaped interview.

It?s clear that children who have a book rich environment have much higher success in school. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that the importance of reading to children begins at birth. Sadly, there are too many homes without a single book for their baby! We can help your library make a difference in your community and turn more families into readers and library users. Books for Babies is a national literacy program that acquaints parents of newborns with the important role they play in the development of their children. Parents are presented with a Books for Babies kit containing a board book for baby, baby?s first library card, and a variety of brochures with reading tips and early literacy information from nationally-recognized educational organizations. Kits are available in both English and Spanish. Organizations such as Friends of the Library groups, Women?s Clubs, and Junior Leagues purchase Books for Babies packets. Groups often supplement the packets with information about local resources, including library locations and contact information as well as details about lapsit and preschool storyhours. Click here to place an order for Books for Babies kits, or to order a sample kit and find out more about starting a Books for Babies program in your community.

Champaign Public Library - connecting our community with the power of knowledge, the world of culture and ideas, and the joy of reading. The Board of Trustees of the Champaign Public Library seeks a creative and innovative leader as its next Library Director-a leader working strategically with staff, residents and community organizations creating a shared vision for future library services and programs. The successful candidate oversees and manages the Library's facilities which include the Main Library, the Douglass Branch and the Friendshop Bookstore. Serving as Champaign's dynamic community hub, the Library hosts 1,675+ library and community meetings and events. Since 2011, the Library has been an annual Library Journal "four star" library. In 2014, the Library won the John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award for the Library Foundation's "Show Some Library Love" campaign. Fundraising efforts resulted in a 30% increase in gifts received and a 60% increase in dollars raised. With a $6.6 million annual budget and the support of the Friends of the Library and the Champaign Public Library Foundation, the new director and staff (69 FTEs) will analyze community needs and recommend policies, strategies, programs and services to provide new opportunities for community engagement. The Library is affiliated with the City of Champaign and the Director serves as a member of the City's Executive Management Team. The Library is a member of the Illinois Heartland Library System, a consortium of 545 member libraries in central and southern Illinois, and maintains a separate Polaris ILS shared with the Urbana Free Library. Champaign offers an appealing combination of big city cultural and recreational amenities and a small friendly city atmosphere. Champaign serves a growing city population of 82,000 and county population of 200,000. At the intersection of education, innovation, and micro-urban living, Champaign residents are proud of the city's rich history, ethnic diversity, and strong sense of tradition; care deeply for their city; and participate actively in the issues which shape the community. Lying within the crossroads of three of the country's largest cities-Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis-Champaign is distinctively placed in an ideal location. Champaign owes its vibrant college-town atmosphere to the presence of the University of Illinois, a top-ranking public university with a current enrollment over 40,000. Strong academic programs, including the #1 ranked Graduate School of Library and Information Science program in the nation, attract outstanding faculty from across the globe and one of the largest international student populations in the country. Additionally, Parkland College, the exceptional Unit 4 School District, and 15 private and parochial schools provide excellent educational opportunities. Champaign also gains financial stability from a diverse industrial, professional and economic base, with an emphasis on technology, government and business employment. The city's neighborhoods offer numerous lifestyle choices including the urban character of downtown living, charming center-city neighborhoods, or new subdivisions with spacious homes. Extensive parks, bicycle-friendly roads, amateur sports, and a diverse array of artistic and cultural opportunities contribute to the outstanding quality of life in Champaign. For additional information on the Library, the City and the area see Champaign Links. Responsibilities.

Many different formats are supported, including permanent and traveling exhibitions, book or film discussion programs, historic site or district interpretations, living history presentations, and other face-to-face programs in public venues. All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, religious studies, philosophy, or anthropology. Projects must also demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical (rather than celebratory). The approach to the subject matter must go beyond the mere presentation of factual information to explore its larger significance and stimulate critical thinking. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive public audience. NEH encourages projects that explore humanities ideas through multiple formats. Proposed projects might include complementary components that deepen an audience's understanding of a subject: for example, a museum exhibition might be accompanied by a website, mobile app, or discussion programs. Planning grants are used to refine the content, format, and interpretive approach of a humanities project; develop the project's preliminary design; test project components; and conduct audience evaluation. Implementation grants are used to support final scholarly research and consultation, design development, production, and installation of a project for presentation to the public.

The outcome measurement process involves four key steps: 1) Set Goals, 2) Measure Outcomes, 3) Review Results, and 4) Take Action. While this webinar will cover all four outcome measurement steps, the focus will be on step 1, which includes setting goals based on community needs and identifying responsive library services to measure based on those goals. This webinar will review common scenarios demonstrating how Project Outcome can be included in the planning process and will include real-life planning examples from Skokie (Ill.) Public Library. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas. http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/projectoutcomeplanning An archive of the webinar will be available on the Project Outcome's News & Events page. See link below. Project Outcome continues to improve and grow with new survey portal features, including surveys in Spanish, customizable program information, and access to Impact Survey's technology survey. Not yet registered with Project Outcome? Join for free atprojectoutcome.org and begin measuring your library's true impact today! Project Outcome is a piece of the larger puzzle of library data collection and, when combined with other measurements, can help better tell your library's story. Project Outcome users receive free access to Impact Survey's technology survey, which aims to help libraries understand their communities and how people use their public technology resources and services. This month's webinar featured the U.S. Impact Study's research and communications coordinator, Stacey Wedlake, who taught participants how to use and understand the Impact Survey technology survey for planning and advocacy.

Consider Joe Rogers' Wildlife Rescue Association. In response to popular demand, we have brought them in three times during the past five years to present rescued birds and animals and talk to kids about their needs. Joe and Barb Rogers take the birds throughout our large audiences (150 people+) so that all can get a close-up look. Their respect for and devotion to the birds is evident throughout their program. They incorporate a lot of biology into the presentation and we receive a such steady stream of gratitude from attendees (mainly ages 5-9 years) and their adults that we keep bringing them back. During their presentations here in July 2015 they brought a barred owl, an American kestrel, a peregrine falcon, red phase and grey phase screech owls, pigeons and a corn snake. They are willing to travel from mid-Michigan and have reasonable rates. We look forward to bringing them back in 2017.

Starting with an Early Literacy project at the CazCares food pantry, library outreach coordinators began to build more in-depth relationships with the food pantry?s clients. Their interactions led to unexpected positive outcomes: ? adults obtaining their high school equivalency through the library tutoring program; ? school age children participating in an interactive summer learning program and book club; ? and the food pantry becoming the site for ESL classes, Dolly Parton Imagination Library sign ups and health literacy initiatives. Find out how this innovative library team supplemented their small budget with donations and volunteers to make Family Literacy work for the community.

Hello Everyone- The incoming president of our library's Friends group is a development director for a non-profit and is encouraging our Friends group, Library Board and Staff to better educate ourselves about fundraising, and especially the possibility of legacy gifts for our library. To that end we are bringing in Bill Winkler, a speaker from the Leave a Legacy Speakers' bureau of the Planned Giving Round Table of Southeast Michigan. This is a professional organization of development directors and estate planning professionals helping to educate their membership and the general public about legacy gifts and estate planning. There are two opportunities for you to attend Bill's presentation. One in Clarkston and one in Novi. This is a free and open event intended for Directors, Trustees, Staff and Friends. See all the details below or attached. Thanks! Julie Julie Meredith Director Clarkston Independence District Library 6495 Clarkston Rd Clarkston, MI 48346 248.625.2212 juliem at indelib.org Would you like to provide solicitation-free programs at your library about the benefits of estate planning? Are you curious about how legacy gifts can be left to your library? Leave a Legacy Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan can help The Planned Giving Roundtable (PGRT) is a professional organization of 140 development officers, estate planning attorneys and financial planners. PGRT's purpose is to educate their members and provide the necessary skills to be effective advocates and better fundraisers for the non-profits they represent. PGRT, through its Leave a Legacy Speakers' Bureau, can also help your library. Legacy gifts can be impactful and transformational to organizations that are near and dear to a donor's heart. This program is an effort to educate the broader public on the opportunities. There is absolutely no solicitation of any kind. Educating the public about leaving a legacy is ideal for the library environment, but before you bring a speaker into your library, you should know what they will say. Educate yourself, educate your patrons about legacy gifts and estate planning. Attend a session specifically for Library Directors and Staff Presented by Bill Winkler Friday, November 20th 1-3pm Clarkston Independence District Library Friday, December 11th 10am-noon Novi Public Library Register by contacting: Julie Meredith juliem at indelib.org 248.625.2212 These presentations are about legacy funding for your library and estate planning education, not community foundations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The entries in this book will provide a snapshot of the current state of development in academic and research libraries of the information commons, a response to the pressures of a rapidly changing research and learning environment characterized by acquiring and making accessible a host of new online information resources, developing innovative collaborative services, and transforming spaces to support changing user behaviors and patterns of learning. Descriptive entries will include both text and images portraying facilities in several dozen libraries across North America and beyond. If you are interested in submitting an entry to the book, please fill out the survey information at the following link. The survey will close January 31st at midnight. https://unt.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8HNo4R1EReusCy1 Background: Developments in technology libraries and in the larger society continue to enable new forms of information seeking behavior and scholarship, drawing a response from libraries that harkens back to the venerable notion of the "commons," a public place that supports community, a place free to be used by everyone, which everyone has a joint right to use, to participate in or share, a place that is generally accessible, affable and familiar. The first edition of the Field Guide described the early and rapid emergence of the concept of the "commons" and its widespread adoption among academic and research libraries. This second edition will capture the continued evolution of the trend. Many thanks for participating!

However, Dover has a line of adult coloring books that I would describe as "intermediate to advanced" coloring books. They're called "Creative Haven" and there's all sorts of them. Some of them have designs that are super detailed for using colored pencils with and some are not quite as detailed and you're able to use crayons with. I love them. I think I've purchased about 6 or 8 of them for my own use and will happily purchase more once I go thru these. I get mine at Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics but I'm sure any number of places would have them. I hope that helps.

Each child receives a box with 4 crayons that she can keep. ? ?We have a coloring club that meets once a month. We provide the copies and colored pencils. Its a fun get together (for adults only) ? ?It was my understanding that we can't copy out of purchased books? but may copy any we find off the internet? Can anyone clarify that?? ? I would check on the copyright page of the particular book in question. Some of them will allow copying for non-profit usage. Some of them will not. I think it varies based on publisher and artist. ?

Hungerford comes to Redford from the Salem-South Lyon District Library, where he served as the assistant director. He will begin his new position on Tuesday, December 1, 2015. Hungerford has 16 years of library experience. He replaces Lisa Hoenig who left this position at the end of August to become the new director of the Ypsilanti District Library.

We scheduled 2 more in November, a daytime and an evening. Again, a great turnout, in fact we were nearly at capacity at the evening session that we are now offering them monthly. The evening session has several sign ups already for December. We played soft background music and provide refreshments, although I don't think either is necessary. We printed off several coloring pages from online websites onto card stock and provided a variety for patrons to choose from. The Holiday pages were a hit at the last program. We purchased several packs of colored pencils for patrons to use, they had to leave them at the library but we found that many people brought their own gel pens and markers. Tables were set up couple of different ways and they preferred the tables in a board room setup so they were all facing each other rather than a classroom setup.

The Board interviewed four outstanding candidates. Pam Christensen's achievements over a 30+ career in our profession, her network of peers across the state, her work with legislators, and her long-time commitment to multi-type cooperation among libraries of diverse size gave Pam the edge. Plus, as one library director put it, she is fearless and has a great sense of humor! Library directors who served on the Search Committee and attended the interviews congratulated the Board on conducting an open and transparent process. The Cooperative staff is very pleased with the outcome and looking forward to new challenges. Pam's first day on the job will be December 14th.

We have a patron who needs an e-mail address to apply for a job. He has no cell phone, other e-mail address, facebook or google account. Honestly, I do not believe that he can create and remember that usernames and passwords for those services even if we sat down and created them. Yahoo and Gmail all require that you get a text or voice call for verification to set up and e-mail address. If he uses his home number and opts for the voice verification than he must go home, hope that there is a message on his answering machine and then hope that when he returns and tries to create his account again that the previously sent verification code will work. It seems that there has to be a better way for our patrons who do not use these other technologies to get an e-mail address. Thanks in advance!

How does this compare to your IM budgeting for 2016? Also, around 40% of respondents report Big Data Analytics and skills with Visualization Tools as the areas where they are now experiencing the biggest skills gaps. How does the skill-set of your team compare to your peers? This is just a reminder that you can find out by participating in our 2015 survey for library leaders and managers, which is live until Monday, 30th November. In return for your participation, you will instantly receive a free 12-page data report showing how your responses compare to both your peer group, and the library community as a whole. You can find the survey at: http://outsell.interceptsurveys.com/IMB The survey should take around 20 minutes of your time to complete (you can pause it and return at will), and all information will be kept strictly confidential. The survey will close on Monday, 30 November, 2015. Questions? Need a copy of the questionnaire? Please contact: Leonie Nicholas, Affiliate Analyst, Outsell, Inc, lnicholas at outsellinc.com.

The Library of Michigan and MCLS are pleased to announce a several month long community engagement training program for Michigan library staff. The training will be led by coaches from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, and is being offered at no charge to selected Michigan libraries, with generous stipends provided through Library of Michigan LSTA funding. The program On March 15 and 16, 2016, a cohort of up to 50 Michigan library staff will convene in East Lansing, Michigan for a 1.5 day workshop led by two certified Harwood Institute coaches. That training will be followed up by nine months of coaching calls from Harwood, and guidance and support from Harwood trained Library of Michigan and MCLS staff. The Harwood Public Innovators Workshop is a 1.5 day experience to help you and your organization learn what it means to turn outward ? to use the community, not your conference room, as your reference point for choices and action. Although free of charge to participate, this program will be rigorous. With support and guidance from MCLS and the Library of Michigan, cohort members are expected to develop action plans, implement those plans, and demonstrate how their efforts are making a change in their communities. Only those who can commit the time and energy are encouraged to participate. The Library of Michigan and MCLS have been using the tools of the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are excited to be able to support training for a cohort of Michigan library staff. Eligibility Applicants must be an employee or trustee of a Michigan library. Applicants may be from any type of library; academic, public, school, institutional or special. A maximum of 2 persons per library will be awarded scholarships. It is strongly encouraged that applications include two persons. Applications including two persons will be ranked higher based on our criteria. Collaborative applications with two individuals from different libraries in geographic proximity are welcomed, and will receive the same ranking as two individuals from the same library.

I'm curious as to what programs other libraries in Michigan use for this process; if you use a program other than InDesign, please let me know what it is, whether you find it easy to use or not, and whether your local printer has issues working with the file type it produces. If you no longer send out a print newsletter or work with a company who does yours for you, I'd be interested in that information too. I'll be sure to share a summary of my findings back to the list.

If you cannot participate live, we will archive the conversation at http://makinglibraries.si.umich.edu. If you like this format, we'll try to make this a monthly event. Hope to see you online!

The House is scheduled to vote on the Every Student Succeeds Act later this week and passage is most definitely not guaranteed. Please, take a moment to take two vital actions: 1. Contact your Representative to let them know how essential this bill is to our children's education and futures. 2. Contact absolutely everyone you know and ask them to do the same thing. Talking points ? Vote Yes on the Every Student Succeeds Act Conference Report. ? School libraries are critical to our children's future and the Conference Report includes critical language to support effective school library programs. ?
