It's free. I uploaded our tax exempt certificate. You get FREE Two-Day shipping and business pricing on supplies like paper, pens, ink/toner, etc. I've set it up so that I can have multiple employees (my Head of Youth Services, my manager who purchases African-American fiction, and even my IT Specialist) can order using a PO system that I (and a designee) can approve before it's ordered. We're even using their 55-day Pay-in-Full Line of Credit (as of last week). It's great to get all that off the credit card. And, honestly, the best part is that when I call about a lost order or a return, I get a dedicated team of business for business account managers. So much better than before. Good luck!

You can either upload the State form or walk through Amazon's steps. If filled it out yesterday and is is already active.

My last library (Weyenberg Library, Mequon, WI) replaced the children's AWE stations with iPads in 2013. The Library bought iPad 2s, since they were cheaper than 3s and little kids would be happy with them even without the high resolution of the iPad 3s. Only two iPads were bought, since there had previously only been two AWE stations so that was the amount of desk space available. The iPads are great because children as little as 18 months can sit there and "draw" with the touch screen and be entertained. Whereas the little ones couldn't successfully use an AWE station with a mouse, and the AWE games didn't tend to have anything super easy for little kids. The iPads do not have a log in or time tracker for the iPads since we knew the typical usage was short-term (i.e. 20 minutes). The iPads are not fully visible form the Reference Desk, however staff can keep an eye on them when roving. If someone were to monopolize them, then staff could say something. As of yet, that has not been an issue, likely due to the fact that adults cannot access the internet or any adult apps on them. The AWE computers were barely used and the Library saw a huge increase in usage when it switched to the iPads. My current library has 2 AWE stations. We purchased the newest one in 2013 (before my time here) for $2917. To extend the warranties, it is $525 PER YEAR PER AWE STATION. By contrast, an iPad 2 on Amazon is $325. I could keep purchasing 2 iPads per year, vs keeping the same AWEs and only getting warranties for the additional money. Personally, I do need see the benefit of paying so much money for an AWE, when I can get iPads which are touch screen and more usable for little children since they are the ones using them. We are letting the AWEs run without warranties at this point, with the plan to add 2 iPads next to them. When the AWEs die, we will not replace them. An interesting note: In our patron survey last year, patrons asked us to remove the AWEs from the play area bc caregivers want playtime with their children without the kids being distracted by the computers. Parents are torn between the ubiquity of technology and research saying screen time at young ages is a bad thing. To provide balance, we moved the technology options to a different area than the traditional play options. Our traditional play area now has board games, construction toys, legos, a play kitchen, puzzles, and board books. Have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

Riley presents the annual award, including a prestigious trophy and $2,000 in privately-donated funds, Friday, October 30th at the Michigan Library Association's annual conference in Novi. "Year after year, Michigan's libraries consistently expand services and find new ways to serve their communities," Riley said. "The 2015 nominations demonstrate how creative, impactful and diverse libraries are across the state. Michigan libraries of all types are successfully focusing on what is unique about their communities and are successfully tailoring services to meet those evolving needs." The Library of Michigan Foundation and Library of Michigan (LM) present the State Librarian's Excellence and Citations of Excellence awards each year to highlight the importance of services provided by Michigan's libraries. This year's Citations of Excellence went to the Jackson District Library and Marcellus Township Wood Memorial Library in Cass County. Each library receives a trophy and $500 as a Citation of Excellence winner. The State Librarian's Excellence Award is sponsored by Roger Mendel and his late wife June Mendel. The Citation of Excellence Awards are funded by Martin L. Gibbs in memory of his late wife, Carole Sorenson. "Our community always has appreciated the library. I see the extraordinary work my co-workers do every day. Working with so many amazing people is an inspiration and an honor," said Niles District Library Director Nancy Studebaker. "They are constantly looking for new ways to serve and make our library even more valuable to our community. To have their efforts recognized by our State Librarian and by the statewide library community is a tremendous honor." NDL staff regularly are involved in all aspects of their community. By working proactively and collaboratively with local government and nonprofit organizations on a range of initiatives, staffers have made a positive impact on local patrons and residents. NDL's approach to establishing meaningful partnerships in the community should serve as a model for other libraries, local governments and community organizations, Riley said. Some NDL programs and partnerships include: * The Special Editions program targeting services to the special needs community * Hosting the Midwest Historical Archaeological Association Conference * Offering financial literacy courses * Hosting ComicCon events * Promoting the Niles Reads program * Teaming with the Salvation Army's food program * Developing the Read and Return book program that distributes library books to the community State Librarian's Excellence Award evaluation factors are: Demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in a cost-effective manner, with a can-do attitude; always delivering on promises; and fulfilling the library's commitment to high standards of customer service. In earning Citations of Excellence, Jackson District Library (JDL) and Marcellus Township Wood Memorial Library also are recognized for a devotion to customer service. The JDL is actively involved in moving the community forward through initiatives aimed at education, career development, health improvement, economic and workforce development, and human services. Staff promotes Jackson and champions financial stability across the community. Marcellus Township Wood Memorial Library is a Class II library located in Cass County. It successfully has positioned itself as a community-gathering and learning place. In the past year, it has increased programing from nine to 25 events to better serve patrons. Marcellus successfully used its 120th anniversary to highlight community members, and find new ways to interact with them. Connecting with the community is a priority, and it shows. In its 120- year history, voters have supported every millage request that has been requested by the library board. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 175 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

Just as vacation can't last forever, neither can silence when it comes to the Michigan Activity Pass program. So, let's celebrate the breaking of the MAP noise fast! First, I am pleased to report that we have garnered nearly 300,000 hits on the MAP website since we went live over Memorial Day weekend. That number represents a higher total than we had for the entire twelve month period from May, 2014 through May, 2015! Usage of the MAP program has slowed with the start of school, as we knew it would. But keep in mind that nearly all of the DNR sites are open year round (advise patrons to call ahead to verify accessibility once the white stuff starts to fly, please), as are many of the indoor venues. Parents are still looking for things to do with their kids on the weekends, and retirees are game any day of the week. So keep up the promotion of MAP!!! Speaking of your patrons, how would you like to have five brand new MAP destinations to present to them? Okay! We say "thank you for partnering with us" to the five most accessible and largest nature preserves of the Chippewa Watershed Conservancy http://www.chippewawatershedconservancy.org/ in Mt. Pleasant. We will work to get all of the information entered for Hall's Lake Natural Area, Sylvan Solace, Audubon Woods, Peterson Natural Area and Quigley Creek into the MAP database asap, in order that your patrons might partake of the beautiful Fall color show these areas will soon display. We've got some other potential MAP irons simmering over the fire. I'm not in a position yet to say what those are, but I can tell you that if they pan out you will be very pleased. Finally, the Michigan Library Association conference will take place at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of Under the Radar: Michigan will be the luncheon keynote speakers on Thursday, October 29. Don't forget that Tom and Jim will also help us draw the names of four lucky libraries at the conference that will win a free program by the two UTR guys. Thank you for your continued support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

We have everything libraries need to plan great TRW activities for Oct. 18 - 24 at www.ala.org/teenread. We're encouraging libraries to reach out and engage teens who don't normally come to the library, whether they're homeless, in foster care, recent immigrants or some other segment of the community. Reaching some of these groups can be a challenge, but YALSA has resources to help on our wiki: http://ow.ly/QcA3p Free Continuing Education for Library Staff Check out our Badges for Learning program (http://yalsabadges.ala.org/), which helps learners earn 7 micro-credentials that align with YALSA's Competencies for Librarians Serving Youth. This is free professional development where library workers earn a micro-credential by completing lessons that enable individuals to develop skills they need to successfully work for and with teens. The badges can be used on resumes and in online spaces to demonstrate expertise to colleagues, administrators and current and potential employers.

Champaign (IL) Public Library Message-ID: <05ac01d101e1$155cd5d0$40168170$@gossagesager.com> 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. The Library Director provides strategic, innovative and visionary leadership by strategically aligning the interests of the library's various stakeholders to shape the current and future role of libraries. Champaign Public Library's next Director must have the ability and the desire to work with the Library's Board of Trustees, library staff, and City Council and staff in developing a workable team approach to advancing the library as a keystone institution for Champaign. The challenge is to develop effective methods to increase and fully embrace citizen participation as a critical component in library strategies and programs that add value in education, employment, entrepreneurship, empowerment, and engagement. The Director will also engage the community and other City units in program planning and implementation and manage the library system in accordance with policies established by the Library Board of Trustees. Other responsibilities include planning, directing, and supervising all aspects of library services, facilities and activities and being responsible for budgeting, financial administration, personnel administration, facilities management, development, technology management, and marketing and community relations. The Director provides counsel to the Library Board, proposes and implements policy under the Board's direction, supervises the work of the Library managers, and collaborates with other city agencies and community groups and members to meet the information needs of various constituencies. Qualifications. An ALA-accredited Master's Degree and a minimum of five years of progressively responsible experience in library management and supervision are required; or any combination of education and experience that demonstrates the ability to successfully perform the requirements of the position.

MeL databases Britannica School Elementary, Middle, and High offer a wealth of information for students at each of these levels. Students can select from World Atlas, Compare Countries, Tour the U.S.A. and at the Elementary level, Geography Explorer. Need stats, articles, details on geography, people, history, economy, or plants and animals? All of these topics are covered at grade appropriate levels. Want to compare two different countries? That feature is available too and provides statistics, flag image, and articles and media for the selected countries. And, after joining the Britannica Community, educators/library staff have free access to lesson plans and saved content (the Educators link is in the upper right corner of each level opening page). Learning about other countries is exciting. Britannica School can help bring places near and far right to a student's computer. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Registration is now open for the next MCLS MeL Databases Training webinar to be presented October 28, 2015 at 9:30am.

Saturday October 10th at the Library of Michigan, 2:30-3:30 Author Ruth Ann Fruehauf will be talking about her book Singing Wheels and her grandfather's company of truck trailers in Michigan. To commemorate her grandfather's 1914 invention of the semi-trailer, Ruth Ann Fruehauf wrote a book, "Singing Wheels'" honoring the successes and accomplishments of the Fruehauf family legacy. The Fruehauf Trailer Company was the dominant trailer manufacture for nearly a century and became the 75th largest company in the world when it declared bankruptcy in 1997. It all started in a Detroit shop operated by a hard working German immigrant, August Fruehauf. After inventing the concept of the semi-trailer, the company went onto invent the automatic fifth wheel hitch, the dump trailer, the tanker trailer, refrigerated trailers and the shipping container. The colorful history is captured in a coffee table book with 90 pages of photographs from the family archives. For more information please visit www.singingwheels.com. Edwina A.

It wasn't very difficult. There was one thing that wasn't clearly spelled out on the Amazon site which might help someone else. If you have several people doing orders off of your business account, and they use their own payment methods, they each need to go through the tax-free setup process. Also, our city treasurer preferred to have us upload the Michigan tax form to Amazon (form 3372). By default, the Amazon site has you walk through an online process, but on the first screen there's a way to bail out of that and upload the document instead. Amazon approved the form within 24 hours, so they're quick even with the scanned forms. Bruce A.

I don't think the mentality to keep up with comic books is really a children's thing anymore. Comics are written for all ages but the age with expendable income (people with job) is the group they are most made for. If you separate your collection into children's, young adult, and adult you could do the comic books the same way. We just have it separated as children and adult. Just take the comics that are obviously children (ones like looney tunes or mickey mouse) and make those for kids and everything else for adults. Avengers, Superman, and Teen Titan tends to have some blood in them and characters tend to romance each other and sleep together. It it not generally super graphic but it is enough I would keep them out of the children's section. What can make it especially hard is that there might be a Batman comic that is based on the cartoon series and isn't too bad but then there will be a separate batman series that is much more dark and violent. So you can't just make a blanket judgement call about everything Batman. So again we just make the very obvious stuff for kids and everything else for adults. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on or off list. I keep up with comic book as well as catalog them. Reading them really makes cataloging them a lot easier.

Monica is the author of the Belle Isle Heights series and talks about her journey to becoming a published author. She spoke at our library last week and we found her to be quite inspirational regarding the importance of pursuing your passion. She is personable, organized, punctual, and can bring her own books to sell. Her website is www.monicasholar.com and her email is authormrs at gmail.com. As I listened to her talk, I really thought she would also be a great speaker for teens. Even though her books are targeted for adults, as a young African-American woman who is positively pursuing her dream, Monica is a great role model and I think her message would resonant strongly with teens who are interested in writing. Several aspiring writers were in attendance at our program and Monica was very supportive of their work and gave them concrete advice. Feel free to contact me off-list if you have further questions.

But, when all of a sudden you can't connect to a resource or some features don't seem to work, the first thought may be, who do I contact for help? If you've tried everything you know how to do, you've restarted your computer, checked your connections, and your tech person/staff can't figure it out, it's time to contact Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) for their expert assistance. Their MeL Databases help page http://mcls.org/mel/mel-databases/help/ offers help on a variety of topics as well as the email address and phone number for reporting problems. Sending an email to meldatabaseshelp at mcls.org starts the process of resolving the problem you or your patrons may be experiencing. MCLS works promptly to resolve issues, contacts vendors as appropriate, and notifies the library community via the library listservs if the reported problem is system-wide and not just local. Database problems don't occur often but when they do, we want you to know how to get help. The FAQ, Help page, and email address and phone number are intended for library staff. Library patrons should be advised to contact their home library for help. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Registration is now open for the next MCLS MeL Databases Training webinar to be presented October 28, 2015 at 9:30am. MeL Genealogy Resources is the topic of this free event. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian, Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.

We currently have 1 self-check machine that we use via barcode scanner; it is RFID enabled so we can use it once we do the conversion of tags. We will not be getting any additional self-checks, security gates or an automated material handler/sorter at this time. We simply want quicker checkout/in with RFID and easier inventory control with a handheld scanner. I have quotes from 3M and MK Solutions. In the Midwest, 3M is the main provider so it is hard to find libraries that can give feedback on using MK. Have any of you used MK Solutions? If so, was your experience positive or negative? Do you recommend them? Likewise for 3M? Anybody with experience with BOTH companies? Also, big news if you haven't heard yet, Bibliotheca acquired 3M Libraries (http://www.bibliotheca.com/3/index.php/en-us/enews-media/global-press-releases/529-bibliotheca-announces-significant-expansion-us).

The representative suggested I submit the invoice to our local tax agency (i.e. the State of Michigan) for reimbursement. The order was fulfilled by Motor City Books, but the customer service representative who replied to my email had all of the following resellers in his/her signature line: Thrift Books | Green Earth Books | Motor City Books | Atlanta Book Company | Blue Cloud Books | Yankee Clipper Books | Books Squared | Silver Arch Books | Free State Books | Sierra Nevada Books.

I recently have been looking at people counters since we are having trouble with ours. Turns out we just need new batteries. :-) In the process of looking I received many positive recommendations for Sensource, which we currently use. Our counter is wireless and uses a break-beam to count. After my research, I am now considering an overhead thermal counter. A couple libraries let me know they purchased those in the last year and love them. They are much more accurate - but also more expensive to purchase. If you are a small library, cost may be a driving force. Do you want high accuracy for $2000 (per counter) or moderate accuracy for under $1000. Our break-beam system was purchased in 2011 for $750. It seems the batteries need replacing every 6 months to the tune of $50 for 4 batteries (they are special). The break beam does not need to be hard wired to the Ethernet so you can place it anywhere, rather it is wireless and requires batteries for power. If you get a thermal overhead one, then it has to be hardwired to Ethernet, which provides the electricity so there is no need for batteries. One library said this purchased this basic counter in the last year. http://www.peoplecounters.us/People-Counter.aspx# ($250!) A couple libraries recently used Sensource for overhead thermal counters, and those seem to run about $2000 per counter. Also, the Sensource ones have software that enables you to run reports for counts up to every 5 minutes to determine busy and slow periods. I plan to track every 30 minutes. http://www.sensourceinc.com/intelligent-imaging-people-counters.htm If you are adventurous, you can make a people counter out of a Raspberry Pi for under $100!

The library I work in needs an electronic gate counter. We don't have magne= tic gates and are not interested in installing them; I just need something = that will count people as they enter the library. We currently use a hand-h= eld clicker thing that we click every time someone enters the library, and = I am amazed that everyone doesn't already have tendinitis. I had been looking at the EZ People Counter with Data Recorder [http://shop= .ezpeoplecounters.com/People-Counter-With-Data-Recorder-EZ-PC-DR.htm] but h= eard that it might not be as robust as I'd hoped. Minimal installation requ= irements, robustness, and easy maintenance are key criteria. All suggestion= s welcome! Thanks!

Library Director position, Casper, WY, Natrona County Public Library Message-ID: <027001d10af6$53c3d2b0$fb4b7810$@gossagesager.com> Director-Natrona County Public Library - Casper, Wyoming Literacy, Education and a Thriving Community-if these excite you, the Natrona County Public Library wants you as its next Library Director! Join the Natrona County Public Library Board of Trustees and the nearly 81,000 Natrona County residents as NCPL and the community move into a period of expansion and growth. The successful Director will engage the community in continuing to provide a doorway to learning and literacy services and programs through the Main library in Casper, the Mills and Edgerton branches, a bookmobile and the books-by-mail program. Governed by a five-member Board of Trustees (appointed by the Board of County Commissioners), the Library is supported by a dedicated, progressive staff of 35 FTEs, a $2.9 million annual budget, and strong community services and programs. The Director is responsible for implementing policies and plans and providing for the effective operation of the system. Opportunities include exploring the possibilities and potentially developing a plan for funding and renovating its current facility and/or embarking on a capital campaign for a new facility, increasing the use of technology services for patrons, and continuing to develop new community partnerships. The successful Director will also work with and support the ongoing work of the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library. Natrona County has a rich heritage tied with American migration along the California, Oregon, Mormon Pioneer trails, Pony Express route, ranching-western lore, and the freewheeling boom-and-bust of the oil business. Located in Wyoming's central plateau, the County's 5,342 square miles include the municipalities of Casper (the county seat and second largest metropolitan area in the state), Midwest, Edgerton, Mills, Evansville, and Bar Nunn. The area's economy is tied to natural resources, notably energy and agriculture. A pattern of boom and bust in the energy industry has made Casper's business leaders aware of the need to diversify the economy and Casper has emerged as Wyoming's business, financial, manufacturing, and retail center. As a result of its central location the area currently is experiencing vitality as Wyoming's meeting place and transportation hub. Outdoor recreation remains an important industry and avocation-Alcova and Pathfinder reservoirs provide boating facilities, Casper Mountain hosts winter sports, Hogadon Ski Area offers three 600-foot vertical runs for skiers, a world class Biathlon and Nordic ski Center, golfers have access to four area courses and Casper Whitewater Park is a one half mile stretch of the North Platte River with four man-made rock features. Hunting and fishing are popular with residents and out-of-state visitors, many of them guided by local outfitters. Natrona County is proud of its "choice based" school district and the presence of Casper College and University of Wyoming Casper. For additional information on the area's recreational, educational and cultural amenities see Natrona links. Responsibilities. Under the general oversight of the Library Board of Trustees, the Director plans, manages and directs the operations, programs, services, and personnel of the Natrona County Public Library System. Key responsibilities include: managing and directing library operations; ensuring high quality library programs and services; developing and maintaining short and long term plans for the Library; representing the Library and coordinating departmental activities with other divisions, departments, outside agencies, community organizations and the media; and staying abreast of new trends and innovations in the field of public library management. Please see the full Library Director Job Description for primary duties and responsibilities, desired skills and additional details. Qualifications. The position requires a Master's Degree in Library Science and five years of experience overseeing public library operations; or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Required knowledge includes: principles and practices of public library system administration; public library policies, procedures and standards of service; Federal, State and Local regulations governing library operations; current trends in library services, programming and technology; methods for evaluating public library programs, policies and operational requirements; processes for developing and administering budgets; and supervisory principles, practices and methods. Prior success reporting to a governing board is highly desirable. Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $85,000 - $99,800 (dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

Every now and then, infrequently, a Washington-related matter comes along where ALA can have a real and lasting impact by taking an "all hands on deck" approach. This is one of those times. Specifically, ALA is a partner in a large nationwide coalition effort (www.savecrypto.org) to obtain 100,000 signatures in 30 days on an official White House "We the People" petition. We are asking the President to firmly oppose requiring device makers and encryption designers to weaken their privacy protections to allow the NSA and others a "back door" into all of our communications. He is close to making that declaration, and we hope this drive will convince him to do so. Please take a moment to sign the petition, retweet the message on twitter (linked below), and encourage anyone and everyone you can efficiently reach to sign and retweet too. We have 9 days and just under 15,000 signatures to go to reach that critical 100,000 mark, which - by the terms of the We the People project - will *guarantee* a substantive White House reply. This one's worth a real push. Thanks for your help!

They wanted to do a PR appearance at the library to promote his bill to mail tax forms to everybody who filed a paper form last year. Upon further questions from us, they said it would put an end to the public distribution of forms in libraries, to which we basically replied "are you sure that's a positive thing?" We also thought the choice of venue was rather odd, given that we have been the primary place in Marquette to get tax forms in recent years. Like most libraries, we felt the heat from the public the last couple years because of the uncertainties and tardiness of the tax form program. Bruce A.

I've compiled all the responses I received and pasted them in below. I did contact the Fort Walton Beach Library in Florida by phone, and they've decided to let patrons color in the books that circulate and consider it a mini community art project. Once the pages are full up they'll withdraw them from circulation and display the completed pages in the library for all to see. I personally love this idea, and am considering doing it. I urge everyone to consider copyright ramifications of copying images from the pages, or otherwise encouraging patrons to make copies. Copyright can be murky, but I'm sure we all want to be good stewards. Good luck to all of you with your coloring programs! Responses to follow: *?I?m thinking about getting them and I was going to put a notice on the front saying the book was available for checkout but you must make individual copies to color. Please do not color so that others can enjoy? something like that??* *?We are starting an Adult Coloring event next week. I plan to make copies of the pattern the patron wants on cardstock.?* *?We ordered Adult coloring books for programs but they are not apart of the collection. They're simply going to be used for the program.?* *?We gave those away as door prizes at one of our last events and they were such a big hit. Personally, based on your question, it might be problematic, but you could put a label in the book to suggest that if people need to color they should copy the page rather than color in the book.?* *?We do not, because I don't know how we would keep people from coloring in them.?* *?I have several coloring books of my own and find them a very relaxing pastime. I do not have them in the library collection. They are meant to be colored in otherwise why have them? Although I suppose patrons could copy pictures that they wanted to do. It could also be a fun thing to put on an activity table. We have one where we always have a jigsaw puzzle or a scrabble game always going. If you are getting a lot of requests for them maybe you could try a couple and see how it goes. I would be interested in the result if you decide to add them to your collection.? * *?We would be interested in this too. I guess you could somehow label them so that patrons don't color in them, but make copies to actually color. Can you please post the answers you get to this question?? * *?We don't have coloring books in the collection here at my library, but I've read several interesting threads on this topic surface on various Facebook groups for librarians, namely Programming Librarian Interest Group and ALA Think Tank. It seems several libraries have had success using coloring books as passive programming: leaving the coloring books and colored pencils on tables to be used in-house.?* *?Rather than checking out coloring books, we made coloring kits that patrons can check out in-house. They can select from an assortment of pages that we copied out of coloring books, and we provide colored pencils and a pencil sharpener. Similarly, we have a Zentangle kit that includes a Zentangle book, tiles, and micron pens. We provide coloring pages for children as well. 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.

Engage your communities. This is a fantastic opportunity for our state. Message-ID: The Library of Michigan and MCLS are offering a robust, extensive, and essentially free community engagement training opportunity. 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. o It is strongly encouraged that applications include two persons. Applications including two persons will be ranked higher based on our criteria. o 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. The award ? Those awarded this opportunity will receive free tuition for the training and follow-up support. ? Those awarded will receive stipends for two nights hotel lodging (strongly encouraged March 14 and 15) and travel expenses. The stipends will be on a sliding scale depending on the distance of travel from Lansing, MI: o Zone 1 (Less than 100 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $395 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second. o Zone 2 (100-250 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $545 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second. o Zone 3 (More than 250 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $795 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second. o It is encouraged for participants to car-pool to conserve resources when possible. o In the event of a collaborative submission please note in the application which library/participant is responsible for transportation. A space is included in the application for this. Meals are included and will be onsite, except for dinner/dine-around on Tuesday, March 15, 2016, which is factored into the travel stipend. Lodging and the workshop will take place at the Kellogg Center on Michigan State University?s campus. There will be a pre-workshop dinner held Monday evening, March 14, 2016, at the Kellogg Center. Timetable/deadlines ? Applications must be submitted by 5pm (EST), December 21, 2015. ? Notification to recipients will be on or before January 15, 2016. Checks (payable to the library) will soon follow. o Recipients will need to make their own hotel reservations. It is encouraged to make the reservations as soon as possible after notification. A link to register for the hotel will be available at mcls.org/micohort2016 at the time of notification. The application ?

The FAQs are not meant to be legal advice, but it?s a good place to start a discussion either with your library?s attorney or local law enforcement. Here are some excerpts: 3. I recently purchased a double-edged survival knife. Does Michigan law allow me to carry this in my vehicle? MCL 750.227 No. A dagger, dirk, stiletto, or double-edged non-folding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, cannot be carried concealed on or about a person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in their own home, place of business or on other land possessed by the person. 4. Is it illegal to have a knife with a blade over 3 inches in my possession? MCL 750.226 No. Michigan law specifies that a person, with intent to use the knife unlawfully against another, shall not go armed with a knife having a blade over 3 inches in length. The element of intent in MCL 750.226 seems like it would make it difficult to prohibit someone carrying a knife on his belt from being in the library. Again, your local police may see this differently, so it would be best to discuss the matter with them.

Pleasant, MI You are invited to Central Michigan University for the inaugural MI-ALA conference to showcase your innovations in library science. We are excited to see how librarians across the great state of Michigan are harnessing their vision to shape the future of libraries in Michigan. We are interested in proposals on topics in every area of librarianship that address the issues critical to academic libraries. We welcome proposals that explore the present and the future of academic libraries: ? Collections, ? Staffing, and ? Services Broad participation is encouraged from librarians, staff, LIS students, and administrators from all types of academic libraries (including but not limited to public universities, private colleges, and community colleges). Proposals for 45-minute long presentations can be submitted only through the online submission form and must be received by Friday, December 4, 2015.

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 1940’s photographs and music, has audiences laughing, crying, and reminiscing. This program reaches across generations with a little something for everyone. This is for all Americans…Lest we forget. 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. ? www.AThousandLettersHome.com. -- 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...

If so, you'll want to be sure to stop by the Plymouth Rocket booth in the exhibit hall and say "hi" to Ric Bailey. Ric is the developer and software engineer of the TixKeeper software platform on which our Michigan Activity Pass runs. My colleague Brigette and I will be at MLA on Thursday, and we look forward to seeing all of you there. Finally, don't forget Thursday's luncheon, with keynote speakers Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of Under the Radar Michigan. Four lucky library names will be drawn at the luncheon, and each will win a free program presented by Tom and Jim of UTR! https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan Speaking of MAP, how are we doing? I'm glad you asked, because the answer is EXCELLENT! We are five months into statewide MAP Year 3. As of today you've circulated two and one half times the number of MAP passes that were checked out in the TOTAL 12 months of last year's program! Also, the number of hits to the MAP website has already surpassed last year's total, too, by 15% as of today. Great stuff! And did you see this news from our friends and MAP partners at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources? http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MIDNR/bulletins/1218b76 Yesterday the DNR celebrated its 1 millionth camp night of the 2015 camping season. We are proud that libraries helped play a role in that very significant achievement via your hard work to promote the MAP program to your customers. Nice job, everyone! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program, and we look forward to seeing all of you in Novi at MLA.

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...

Message-ID: <5630DCAE020000CC0000ECE2@tisd.k12.mi.us> Hi all, Just wanted to share that my middle school book club recently read "The Left Behinds: The iPhone that Saved George Washington" by David Potter and they really liked it. Then yesterday we Skyped with the author! I am sure some of you have already done this, but we hadn't because our book club meets at the school so the technology link would be up to the school. Plus we meet after school and this could have been an issue with the school, too. I am happy to say, the school though it was a great idea and the school's technology director set it all up for me and stayed the entire time. He then told me he was excited to hear David talk to the kids as much as I was! The tech director has two kids in the elementary school so he is always on the look out for books for his sons. The author, David Potter, lives in NJ and since we are in MI and don't have funds to bring authors in for 30 kids, this was a great alternative for us. As I said, I am sure there are many of you out there that do this already, but for those that have elementary, junior or high school age book clubs, this was a super program that worked out for us We also never lost our Skype connection which was also a great thing! Anyway, keep in mind that many authors do this and many do it for free as David did for us. FYI his second book comes out in January and is called "The Left Behinds: Abe Lincoln and the Selfie that Saved the Union" and his website is www.davidpotterbooks.com Kate Van Auken Rawson Memorial Library 6495 Pine Street Cass City, MI 48726 989-872-2856 989-872-4073 fax www.rawson.lib.mi.us http://www.davidpotterbooks.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I bought ours in August and am just getting around to setting them up. They all appear to use French as an initial language. Which is fine. I'm not so Ameri-centric that I think English must be the default language (much less American English). But the computer seems to think that it IS in English. I set the region to Etats-Unis, the application and keyboard ("Clavier") language to Anglais (Etats-Unis), along with the time zone, and click "Suivant." The software agreement that follows in in French. The tag at the bottom right corner says "ENG" which tells me that it thinks it is in English. When I hover over the ENG, I get an option to switch to FRA (which I am already in, obviously). Does anyone know what to do? Is there some obvious thing I am missing? Do I have to hire a staff of Quebecois? While I think it might be interesting to force all of my public access computer users to learn French, I'm hoping to find a way out. Si'l vous plait aider.

KCLS, an independent taxing district with an annual operating budget of $109 million, is comprised of 48 community libraries and serves over 2 million ethnically diverse residents over 2300 square miles. In 2004, voters supported a $172 million capital bond to renovate, expand, and build new libraries across King County - in 10 years, KCLS has opened 13 new libraries, expanded 11, and renovated 11. The 1,200 innovative and dedicated staff (883 FTE) serves its residents in the library, in the community, and through its virtual presence. Staff reaches 10,000+ non-English speaking families with the Library's early literacy services and programs. The Library also has twelve Library2Go! vehicles providing convenient access to many library services for customers of every age. These community services and programs propelled KCLS to be named Library Journal's 2011 Library of the Year and the 2012 Outstanding Civic Organization by the Municipal League of King County. Washington's King County offers a remarkable blend of vibrant cities, suburban developments, rural landscapes, farms and forests. Many areas enjoy spectacular views of Puget Sound, the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, convenient access to Seattle and all the amenities the region has to offer. King County is home to eleven colleges and universities including the University of Washington, a leading research institution, hosting one of the nation's top medical schools. Community colleges, art and culinary institutions, and technical schools round out the area's choices for higher education. Employment opportunities are available through many Fortune 500 companies-Amazon, Costco, Microsoft, Nordstrom, Paccar, Starbucks and Boeing are key employers.

For more details and registration, see the event's website: http://library.umd.umich.edu/events/YAF/ Directions to the campus are at: http://umdearborn.edu/maps_directions/ FREE EVENT ON NOV. 14 Gary Schmidt 2015 Guest Speaker Orbiting Jupiter Just published! Oct. 2015 *Support Children's Writing * Encourage children to creatively express themselves through their writing. Reading and writing are critical literacy skills for children to develop, especially in the primary grades. Our 3rd annual Young Authors' Festival provides an opportunity for children to develop their creative writing skills and for parents to learn tips and techniques for supporting children's writing. Please take this opportunity to support children's literacy! *Writing Contest Winners!* Students who won awards in this year's writing contest are invited to read their entries at the festival. This year's theme was "Celebrating Our Differences." As students wrote a poem, narrative, or expository piece, some concepts they might have considered were: What makes you unique or different? How do differences change things for the better? How is the world a better place due to our differences? What would the world be like if we were all the same? Please join us in recognizing the writing achievements of students in grades three, four, and five! *Questions???* E-mail Barbara Kriigel at bkriigel at umich.edu or call her at 313-593-5614. *Sponsored by:* University of Michigan-Dearborn | http://umdearborn.edu *Share this email:* *Manage* your preferences | *Opt out* using *TrueRemove*?

We have a mentally disabled adult patron who has a Library card and frequently comes in alone. She is not responsible for herself, but her parents are elderly and do not accompany her. This has lead to a problem in the last couple of months as she has accrued fines on her account for late materials. While she has no problem paying the fines, her parents have been calling to argue about how she shouldn't have to pay since they didn't know she had late materials. Since she is over 18, based on our policy she is able to get a card without her guardians signature. I would like to make it mandatory that if you are not responsible for yourself, regardless of your age, that you still have to have a parent or guardian sign the application; I'm just not sure how to go about requiring this. Has anyone else run into this issue before? What suggestions do you have?

Fortunately, the vendors are always working to help libraries, students and educators stay informed. They do this in a variety of ways but the one that has proven successful is by offering webinars. Presented live and then available recorded, the webinars can be viewed at your convenience and as often as needed. Having said this, below are links to some current offerings for two very popular databases, HeritageQuest Online and Britannica School. Information about these and similar training opportunities are always announced on the various Michigan library listservs. This is an ongoing process so stay tuned for announcements of more offerings as they are made available.

Do any of you who work for a small or rural library use amazon Prime, and how do you justify it? I am probably being a wimp, considering we have $13,000 for print and $3,000 A/V in our budget, and $100 a year for shipping would be proportional.

Of 11 that emailed me in the first hour: 2 suggest instead of Prime, I open a business account with free 2-day shipping (I found out from amazon that you need a minimum $49 order for free 2-day shipping though). 4 pay for a Prime account ($99 a year), and made comments that it's a reasonable price for the service, and getting new videos cheaply on their release dates, for example (I'm going to use that one!). Executive decision was also mentioned. 1 has her personal Prime account linked to the library's business account, so she gets free shipping both places and has two payment options at checkout; an amazon rep suggested it. 3 have regular accounts without Prime and group their purchases for free shipping over $35 (there are some exceptions), but it often takes more than 2 days to receive the items 1 is wondering about Prime as well and will be reading this.
