She will appear on Sunday, October 4 at 7:pm at the Alpena High School Auditorium. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Library, or online at www.alpenalibrary.org Ann Patchett is a celebrated author, a devoted reader and a champion of literary culture. She has written seven books and is a frequent contributor to many publications, including The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly and The Wall Street Journal. She has served on the board of the Nashville Public Library Foundation and in 2011, when the last of Nashville's bookstores had been shuttered; Ann declared "I have no interest in living in a city without a bookstore." And so, in November of that year she opened Parnassus Books, a new refuge for the written word in the old "Athens of the South." In 2012 TIME named Ann one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for her efforts on behalf of the literary community. Writing of her friend on the occasion of that event, novelist Elizabeth Gilbert described Ann as "a woman of wisdom, determination, generosity and courage." Ann published her first story in The Paris Review while still a student at Sarah Lawrence College. Bel Canto, her fourth novel, was published in 2001 and was awarded the Orange Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. The world-renowned Lyric Opera Company of Chicago has commissioned a production based on that novel that will premiere in 2015. Her most recent novel State of Wonder was published in 2011. The Washington Post called that book "the smartest, most exciting novel of the summer" and Library Journal described it as "superbly rendered." State of Wonder will be our Community Read book this year. Ann is also the author of two works of nonfiction including Truth & Beauty, which won the Heartland Prize for Nonfiction in 2004.

The provisions included in ESEA through the Every Child Achieves Act would support effective school library programs and we need your help to ensure that they are included. Talking Points: * Maintain the provisions included under S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act, that would support effective school library programs. In particular, ALA is pleased that effective school library program provisions were adopted unanimously during HELP Committee consideration of S. 1177 (amendment offered by Senator Whitehouse (D-RI) was adopted by voice vote) and on the Senate floor (amendment offered by Senators Reed (D-RI) and Cochran (R-MS) was adopted by a vote of 98-0). * Title V, Part H - Literacy and Arts Education - Authorizes activities to promote literacy programs that support the development of literacy skills in low-income communities (similar to the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program that has been funded through appropriations) as well as activities to promote arts education for disadvantaged students. * Title I - Improving Basic Programs Operated by State and Local Educational Agencies - Under Title I of ESEA, State Educational Agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) must develop plans on how they will implement activities funded under the Act. * Title V, Part G - Innovative Technology Expands Children's Horizons (I-TECH) - Authorizes activities to ensure all students have access to personalized, rigorous learning experiences that are supported through technology and to ensure that educators have the knowledge and skills to use technology to personalize learning. Send a Tweet Make a Call Send a Letter Contact your Senators and Representatives and let them know that any agreement to reauthorize ESEA must maintain the school library provisions overwhelmingly adopted by the HELP Committee and the full Senate under S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The NLG program will invest in projects that address challenges faced by the library and archive fields and generate results such as new tools, research findings, or models that can be widely used. The LB21 program will support human capital capacity projects for libraries and archives. Preliminary two-page proposals that address IMLS priorities will be accepted until the October 1, 2015 deadline. The 2016 NLG and LB21 programs will respond to priorities around the National Digital Platform and Learning in Libraries, the topics of two IMLS Focus convenings in 2015. Materials from the nationally webcasted meetings are available to help inform the development of projects. Each program?s NOFO provides more information about the types of activities that can be funded under these project categories. Based on the success of a two-phase process piloted in the NLG program in 2015, IMLS has made similar changes to the LB21 program for 2016. IMLS will offer two opportunities to apply to each program in the fall and spring, and this set of NOFOs announces the October 1, 2015 deadline with a call for two-page preliminary proposals. From these proposals, IMLS will select applicants and invite them to submit full proposals by January 2016. Applicants who are not invited to continue from the first round of funding will be welcomed to submit new preliminary proposals in February. Getting Your Questions Answered IMLS staff members listed on the NLG and LB21 program pages are available by phone and email to discuss general issues relating to the programs. Informational webinars will be held on Tuesday, September 8, at 4:00 PM Eastern and (repeated) on Tuesday, September 9, at 3:00 PM Eastern. For more information about the webinars, see the IMLS Webinar webpage. IMLS is using the Blackboard Collaborate system (version 12.6).

With warmest regards, Caryn Noel Library Director Adam Cardinal Maida Alumni Library Dear friends, My name is JJ Przewozniak, and I'm Curator of Collections here at The Polish Mission of the Orchard Lake Schools. We're the third department of the OLS alongside St. Mary's Prep and Ss. Cyril and Methodius Seminary. We claim the honor of being the oldest Polish-American cultural and educational institution in the United States (founded 1885). Now, exactly 130 years later, 2015 has really been a landmark year for our community of students, faculty, and staff-let me tell you why. For the last few years, we've been the exclusive North American partner with the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum of Poland. To honor the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945, it was our privilege to host the prestigious and massive Forbidden Art exhibition at the United Nations, in support of an international session on global prevention of genocide. In addition, this February we embarked upon a special partnership with the Stanislawa Moniuszki National Music Academy in Poland-through this, we guided the entire St. Mary's Prep Jazz Ensemble through Poland, where they performed at the LOTOS Jazz Festival to standing-room only audiences! The Polish Mission worked with the Wikiera Foundation to keep the students' cost of this trip very low, and made all the necessary connections to ensure that our St. Mary's group had the experience of their lives. Beyond the trip to Poland, over the past two years, the Polish Mission has assisted the Prep in bringing Polish language back as an on-campus offering. We've orchestrated various displays in the library, the existing Galeria, and other venues that have been visited by Prep classes. We pride ourselves on our unending program of cultural activities that enrich not only our local community, but audiences across the globe. For this and for our multitude of continued cultural work (which you can read about in The Mission, the Orchard Lake Good News, and www.polishmission.com) it is our highest honor to be awarded the Gloria Artis (gold), which is the highest form of recognition awarded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Poland. We are the only institution in North America that bears this honor, and in July, the Minister herself, Professor Ma?gorzata Omilanowska, visited us to bestow it in person! For comparison, the short list of recipients of this award includes renowned historian Norman Davies, legend of the Polish stage Adam Hanuszkiewicz, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. I'm sending you this monumental news today, in hopes that you'll consider supporting the truly "Polish Mission" of the OLS. On October 29th, 2015, the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland, his Excellency Ryszard Schnepf will formally present the Gloria Artis to us, at a gala dinner at Pine Lake Country Club. By placing an ad in our program book, attending, or by any financial support you'd consider pledging, you'd be supporting the construction of a new Polish art gallery on our historic campus; the first construction project of its type in America in decades. Our plan is to restore the existing Galeria to its original beauty, while also constructing a subtle addition for the collections, built to modern museum standards. You might not know it, but we're home to North America's best collection of Polish art, museum, and archives collections. With a new and fitting place to showcase it all, our community of students, family, faculty, and staff will have a new place for learning, studying, and praying. It is our hope that a new building will allow us to expand the support that we can provide the various language, social studies, and art classes, and enrich the learning environment for all Prep students. We're requesting help from everyone in the Orchard Lake Schools family, because we know that you are committed to the future of our St. Mary's men and our legacy. This project is more than a building; it's an investment in our future, and those who contribute to it can rest knowing they've contributed to a most prestigious and unique element of the "Polish" mission of the Orchard Lake Schools. See you on October 29th. Thank you in advance for your support.

Program September 3, 2015 LANSING - A children's book about good-mannered forest creatures by Michigan author Laurie Keller has been named as the featured title in the 2015 "Michigan Reads! One State, One Children's Book" program, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. Keller, who grew up in Muskegon and now lives on the state's southwest side, wrote and illustrated Do Unto Otters (Henry Holt, 2007). The book tells a story of how Mr. Rabbit learns, with sage advice from Mr. Owl, to get along swimmingly with his new neighbors, the Otters, by simply treating them the same way he would want to be treated - the Golden Rule. "Reading can be fun and entertaining while teaching us something at the same time," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. "Having all children reading at grade level by the end of third grade remains a top priority of the MDE." Keller has written and illustrated a number of children's picture books and also illustrates books for other authors. She presents on her work for children and adults at schools, libraries and other events. The Library of Michigan (LM) coordinates "Michigan Reads!" The program is devoted to increasing early childhood literacy and pre-reading readiness. Programming, events and author visits are scheduled throughout the state in September and October. The program's official launch is Tuesday, September 15 at the Beagle Elementary School in Grand Ledge. Michigan Reads! is modeled after the "One Book, One Community" concept and is designed to emphasize the importance of shared reading practices with babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and young school-age children. These practices set the stage for fluent reading achievement in children as they enter school. "This year's Michigan Reads! program should help prompt Michigan residents of all ages reading aloud to children, inspiring a love of reading in both readers and listeners," said State Librarian Randy Riley. "Do Unto Otters is a really fun way to bring children and parents together, reading and learning." The program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and partners with the Library of Michigan Foundation. Additional contributions come from Jackson National Life Insurance and Macmillan Publishers. As a result of the Institute of Museum and Library Services support, the LM will provide a hardcover copy of Do Unto Otters and programming materials to all public libraries, elementary schools, Head Start and Great Start Readiness programs across the state. In addition, Keller will tour a number of Michigan libraries and schools. "Michigan Reads!" provides librarians, early childhood educators, parents, and caregivers with ideas to help children develop literacy skills through play-based activities. Since its inception in 2004, the program aims to promote the value and benefits of reading early and often to children, to encourage family bonding through reading and to increase awareness and usage of Michigan's libraries as excellent resources for learning. More information about "Michigan Reads!" - including dates and locations of author visits and materials for parents, teachers and caregivers - is available at www.michigan.gov/michiganreads. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 175 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

The teacher says she has been unable to find a classroom set deal, and is considering ordering them from Amazon.

Alternately, I thought someone might know of a vendor she could check with that would offer a volume discount.

Library Director Position, Natrona County Public Library Message-ID: <0a3601d0ea44$a05dc540$e1194fc0$@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. For further information, contact Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates via email or phone.

We are eager to get the students using the public library's Overdrive collection. I am wondering about collection development policies and access. If a student has the Overdrive app on their school issued device, they have access to the entire public library's digital collection. The public library's collection is intended for a variety of ages and interests and not all titles in that collection are age appropriate for younger readers. Is there any public library out there with a working relationship with a local school district regarding digital content? If so, please let me know how you managed to provide access to a collection that may or may not fit the criteria of the school's collections policies.

We are discussing removing the non-functional security gates from our entryways on accessibility and aesthetic grounds, but our board wanted to know if other libraries experienced an increase in materials theft as a consequence of removing them. If you have removed security gates and/or moved away from using RFID in your library, I would love to hear about your experiences, particularly if you have any sort of data or numbers-based evidence, although anecdotal information is very welcome too. -- Laura J.

Keynote: Emerging Technologies ? Trends from CES and Beyond The CES show is one of the largest technology shows in the industry; it?s where companies from around the world release new products, unveil innovative ideas, and do hands-on demonstrations. Every year, Brian Pichman of the Evolve Project attends to speak to the exhibitors about libraries and their unlimited potential. This session shares his insights from the event in a jammed-pack session of tech gadgets and emerging technologies. Additionally, discover other potential technologies that are ready for your library to implement in its maker spaces and fab labs. Hear about other technologies libraries are recently starting to look into. Leave with lots of ideas, insights, and laughs. Speaker: Brian Pichman, Director of Strategic Innovation, Evolve Project Brian speaks a lot about innovative technology as a presenter and loves collaborating with both libraries and companies. He is dedicated to bring libraries into the future using cost effective measures and strategies. Much of Evolve?s work includes bridging the digital divide, breaking away from "traditional library views", becoming trend setters and finding or building innovative works geared towards interaction and collaboration. He has also been working with start-up companies across the country, promoting libraries and encouraging people to work closer with libraries in developing new ideas and concepts. Breakout Sessions Cybersecurity for Public Libraries: Striking a Balance Mary Shindell, Sales Manager, Merit Network, Ann Arbor, Michigan This presentation is intended to raise awareness of the cybersecurity threat to libraries and their patrons and to provide practical methods to reduce risk. We will share information regarding the need for security, including the what, when and how of typical threats and attacks. We will cite specific recent local and national breaches affecting libraries and education. Attendees will take away a free practical tool to implement at their library.
Gaming in the Library Michael McEvoy, Technology Coordinator, Northville District Library, Northville, Michigan Join us for a discussion of running wildly successful video gaming programs for your library. Three video game extraordinaires will discuss what video games they?ve used in programs, which gaming platforms they use and why, what patrons attend these programs (and not just kids?!?!). How much does this cost? How long is a given game title relevant for? Which games worked best? and why? What kind of attendance? Do the ?gamers? come back for more Library events? Does playing video games help make tweens and teens into life long library patrons? You?ve got questions, we?ve got answers... and Video Games! No Assumptions: 10 Years of Open-Access 3D Printing i n th e Library Eric Maslowski, Director, UM3D Lab, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 3D Printing is at the height of the Gartner Hype Cycle with many rushing to acquiring 3D Printers in the hope of empowering their user-base. However, 3D Printers have budgetary, support, health, and training considerations that can bring down the most hardened support systems. This session will provide attendees with candid and concrete examples of successes and failures around 3D Printing services while sharing a low-cost, sustainable, deployable, open-access service model suitable for Libraries and academic units. Windows 10 Kerry Sanders, School of Information Technology Chair, ITT Technical Institute, Canton, Michigan This session will start with an overview of Windows 10, and then explore the new enhancements, features and fixes to the operating system. Finally, Kerry will give us his recommendation for Windows 10 deployment.

As a minor parents have to (usually) be present when they get that card and, although it is only implied I think with no signed acceptance of responsibility, because the parent's contact information is what goes on the record for that card, they are the responsible party for whatever is checked out under it. As a librarian in a school that has a 1:1 program for several years, we have investigated ways to facilitate access to Overdrive for our students. They have iPads and our policy does not regulate the loading of apps (that I'm aware of). However, I'm pretty sure the student and parents both sign an acceptable use policy that would make clear the parental responsibility for student usage. Perhaps signing an acceptable use policy would absolve a school or school librarian from any culpability relating to access of objectionable materials via Overdrive. It would be like providing a link to Google from the library homepage. It access a lot of good stuff, but also "some" trash! My suggestion is to: Find out what the district policy is regarding loading apps on individual devicesMake sure the district allows access to Overdrive if the app is used - that it isn't blocked for some reasonEncourage or work with the school librarians to make sure students get library cards. (see note below) A link to the library search page would be helpful on the school's library webpage.....or school website, however students get to library resources.Instruction in classes with specific assignments or as PD for teachers showing how Overdrive might be useful/helpful is good as well as encouraging use of MelCat and library inter-loan for print. Many students don't know how to inter-loan or don't know how to set it up themselves online. Good luck.

The public library's collection is intended for a variety of ages and interests and not all titles in that collection are age appropriate for younger readers. Is there any public library out there with a working relationship with a local school district regarding digital content? If so, please let me know how you managed to provide access to a collection that may or may not fit the criteria of the school's collections policies.

Hopefully, all the various Overdrive groups do, too. There is also some sort of safe search option in account settings as well. It's probably more for people who don't want half naked ladies on romance covers popping up, but it would be an option parents can set if they have concerns. Of course these are all easily reversible, but if you have parents who are looking for help in monitoring their children's ebook reading hopefully either one of these settings will help. Good luck!

Most of us have patrons who like some aspect of science fiction/fantasy, whether it's reading, film, or gaming, in any of the sub-genres. So I thought I would pass this on to those who might be interested in posting. This is a small, local convention, being held at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel at 5801 Southfield Expressway. There is more information on the website: conclavesf.net. I have attached the one-page flyer. I also have a two-page flyer that includes the registration form on the back, and bookmarks that can be printed on cardstock for distribution, if anyone would like copies.

It went on to state that by the time students are in 6th grade they can start looking at the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) and begin working on skill review and building. Fortunately, MeL.org databases include LearningExpress which offers learning centers geared for students headed to or already enrolled in college. The School Center offers resources at three levels: Elementary (grades 4 -5), Middle (grades 6-8), and High School. Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies are covered with practice tests, tutorials, and ebooks. The College Preparation Center covers the ACT(r) and SAT tests as well as AP exams in Calculus, Chemistry, and European History (among others), and How to Write a College Admissions Essay. The College Center is designed to enable students to strengthen skills in Math, Reading, Grammar and Writing, and Science as they progress through their education and build on what they learned in high school. Add MeL.org and LearningExpress to your students' education resources toolkit and they won't be disappointed. 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.

Someone has asked that I post the compilation, so here goes! I didn't include attachments because I have a vague recollection of there being privacy issues associated with compilations..? If you're interested, I'll be happy to contact the sender. -Sharon Crotser-Toy Assistant Director Allegan District Library Allegan, MI 49010 269-673-4625 .................................................................................. We use court ordered and other volunteers to empty the drop boxes and to feed materials into our automated book return. They also pull MeL requests from our collection, weed our gardens, tend all the plants in the building, help put craft and story time materials together, book sales, staff the gift shop, paint, etc. We have every volunteer fill out our application (attached) which gives us sufficient information to determine whether we can match this person to a task or not. We do ask for birthdate which while not legal on an application for employment was okayed by attorney for this purpose. You might want to check with your own attorney for his/her interpretation of the questions on this form or any similar one you choose to use. Our volunteers (we have about 40 Friends, various Community Service, and only one MiWorks person right now) do all of our shelving taking materials from the sorting shelves out to the library shelving by the cart load. A long term volunteer supervises this work and teaches new volunteers how to shelve. Our Circ Supervisor is ultimately in charge of this task. Volunteers do flatbed scanning of historical materials for us, document copying, sorting of books for the Friends book sale, prep for crafts, read to Young Fives through a program in the schools coordinated by the library, and yes they do dust and clean fingerprints off windows. We also have summer only volunteers who weed and care for our outdoor spaces. Very dedicated volunteers run a D&D program one Saturday per month and a LEGO program is restarting this fall. Volunteers do much of the processing of our books putting on covers, setting RFID tags and general quality control before the books go on shelves. Our Processing Supervisor does the cataloging and is responsible for the work of this set of volunteers. One volunteer checks shelved for lost, missing, and claims returned books using our monthly lists. In general we avoid tasks involving the linking of patron name to materials so volunteers do not checkout or checkin or work with holds. They do the pick list for ILL for us as that has only book names on it. Clearly we would be in trouble if our volunteers deserted us? Like you, our most frequent "volunteer" job is cleaning, be it indoors or out (our library has almost an entire block of public grounds including several flower beds). We also use them for prepping craft materials for programming (we don't purchase many kits, so there's always something needing copied, traced, cut, etc.), inventory, and collection weeding projects. Our volunteer policy is attached. We do have other volunteer tasks listed on the policy, but these occur less frequently than those I mentioned above. Our volunteers help with these things... Processing materials Shelf reading Watering plants in the building Gardening outside Book sales (in coordination with Friends of the Library) We have a great group of high functioning adults with mental disabilities who volunteer through the local mental health agency. They generally take care of the following. Washing plastic magazine covers Buffing and cleaning of CD / DVD discs We generally don't have volunteers with court ordered community service. At the Sterling Heights Public Library, our volunteers cut out our craft items for programs, shelf read, pull books from a weeding report, organize drawers of bookmarks, flannel boards, puppets, etc. I don' t think we have any written procedures, I'll ask to make sure and forward them if we do. It depends on their skill set and what they are doing the community service for. If its dishonesty, I don?t want them volunteering for me. We had a contractor that had a DUI that did a lot of painting and repairing this spring. It was really nice. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Kraly) Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 11:12:05 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] RFID & Security Gate Removal In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello again, I thought I'd post back to the list and share the responses I got to my original question. Three libraries responded with their solutions to the gate question. *** Library #1 We are a bar code library and have also removed our security gates. Even with security we experienced a lot of theft mostly from community service volunteers. We have prosecuted the thieves and have received restitution from them via the courts. I don't know if our theft rate has gone up or down, but we got so many false alarms with the gates that we are at least able to say the library is quieter. We shelve our DVD collection in locked cases in the public area and still keep our video game collection of over 4,000 games behind the circulation desk. *** Library #2 We have turned off our gates, 5 years now. They were such an issue with false alarms - and our physical layout combined with personnel shortages (or personnel on duty having other things to do!!!), that we just decided it is not worth it. We noticed no increase in loss. We don't have a big loss problem in any case. I actually did study the difference at one point - can't put my hands on results though. I remember there is no difference with gates on or off. They are still there, so I don't know if their physical presence makes a difference. *** Library #3 [We] left ours up as a visual deterrent ? plus we didn?t have to worry about carpeting, wires, etc. This week, our maintenance person smelled something electrical and unplugged the power supplies to the gates. They had been left powered, but there was no computer running behind them. However, we have no hard data to whether or not they actually work as a visual deterrent or not. *** I also had several libraries ask to share any responses and a lot of interest as to why we're moving away from RFID; the short answer is that we were in the position of replacing all of the hardware, the software, and retagging the entire collection at a significant expense, which made us question whether the RFID system was truly meeting our needs or if there was another less expensive, more functional option. I'm happy to answer any individual questions you might have; feel free to call or email any time. Laura On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Laura J.

[NBC Learn] This Month?s Featured Teaching and Learning Resources from NBC Learn Welcome Friends of NBC Learn! It?s September again, and while some of you have been in the classroom for several weeks, others are just getting started with classes, lesson planning and professional development. Here at NBC Learn, we?ve been working hard to help you get ready for the new school year with dynamic media resources that can introduce your students to new stories and ideas that will have an impact on their lives now and in the future. With the help of our teacher community, we have placed more than 18,000 stories on NBC Learn, with more being produced every day. In order to support you better this school year, please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to fill out this survey. We want to hear how we can improve our newsletter for all educators, whether you teach in K-12 or Higher Education. Thank you and best wishes, The NBC Learn Team Resources for National Hispanic Heritage Month [Spanish Closed Captioning] Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th-October 15th), by recognizing the contributions made by Hispanic and Latino Americans. The theme this year is ?Honoring our Heritage ? Building our Future,? and you and your students can do both with NBC Learn?s Hispanic Heritage Collection (K12 / HE). With more than 400 videos on everything from pre-Columbian culture to the new politics of immigration, you're sure to find something relevant and inspiring for your students. And now for the first time, NBC Learn's Current Events and Original Collections in K-12 and Higher Ed can be watched with Spanish subtitles. Just click the ?CC? button and ?Spanish? to see full Spanish translation. Current Events with Spanish subtitles go back to January 2015 and will continue every week in the future. Featured Collections in September Celebrate Constitution Day with the "Living Constitution" [Constitution] Bring the U.S. Constitution to life on Constitution Day, September 17, with the Living Constitution (K12 / HE) section of the NBC Learn U.S Government & Politics Collection. You?ll find hundreds of stories that showcase every article, section and amendment to the Constitution, including landmark Supreme Court cases and decisions that have had an impact on the lives of all Americans. A Week That Changed America Just fourteen years ago, the September 11th attacks devastated our nation. But many of your students are too young to remember that day. Help them understand one of the most challenging times in American history with breaking news from that fateful morning, coverage of the efforts to clear and rebuild at Ground Zero, and reflections by prominent Americans in the years that followed.

NBC Learn K-12 Subscriber Spotlight [K12 Spotlight] Meet Timothy Anger, a high school history teacher at Archbishop Hannan High School in Covington, Louisiana. We spoke with him about how he integrates NBC Learn into his courses in AP U.S History, Civics, Law, and Contemporary Issues. ?In each of my classes, I show two current events resources that are specifically related to the subject I?m teaching,? he says. ?If we?re studying British Common Law for example, I might show a one-minute video of Chief Justice Roberts talking about the Magna Carta and its influence on American law.? ?For subjects that will appear on the AP exam, it?s helpful to reinforce those points with NBC Learn video clips. We talk about the content beforehand, and after watching the clip, discuss what they learned specifically, and the relevance to their own lives.? Anger often has his students write down their reactions to NBC Learn videos and discuss them with the class, which allows them to articulate themselves on paper and verbally. For example, ?at the end of last year, the NBC Learn videos about tensions between the United States and Russia over Ukraine sparked a debate about what action the U.S. should take.? Some of Anger?s favorite videos are on the civil rights movement. ?Seeing actual news footage from Birmingham had a profound impact on my students and made them want to take it to the next level and do more research. There are so many famous speeches, press conferences ? it is the best teaching resource I have come across.? Anger?s students even take their enthusiasm home with them. ?One of my students tweeted that he would miss using NBC Learn over summer break!? And their parents are equally impressed. ?I often receive feedback about how excited they are that their kids want to talk about things that are going on in the world. These are our future voters, and they need this knowledge so that they can be informed decision-makers.? NBC Learn Higher Ed Subscriber Spotlight [Spotlight Photo] Meet Dr. David Allard, a Biology professor at Texas A&M University ? Texarkana. Allard, a 40-year faculty member, has embraced using educational multimedia in the classroom. Allard integrates NBC Learn videos into his PowerPoint presentations, and he shared a few different ways this has helped enhance his lectures. Dynamic Content: Allard enjoys using NBC Learn videos to help his students explore a new angle to the concepts they?re discussing in class. ?My students need to think about how the things we are talking about effect the real world that they?re living in.? For example, when discussing UV radiation, he shows this video about skin cancer rates in young adults. ?This kind of scares them, and gets them thinking about the importance of the concepts they?re learning in my lectures.? Importance of Staying Current: Allard cites the Sustainability: Water collection as a great resource for keeping current in his course on Limnology, the study of lakes. ?In the sciences, we are constantly making new discoveries. This is what makes NBC Learn such an important resource,? because it is updated with the latest scientific information. Multimedia Approach: Allard understands the importance of diversifying his lectures in order to keep his students engaged. ?The NBC Learn videos are nice because you can plug them in and they?re never longer than four or five minutes. You?re not giving up the whole class to show videos, but at the same time, they?re a great break from the ?talk-talk-talk.?? American Graduate Day [http://static.nbclearn.com/files/nbclearn/2015/September/09/NFTE_Photo.jpg] On October 3rd, 2015, our partner America?s Promise Alliance is presenting the fourth annual American Graduate Day on PBS.

The tools are the final pieces of a set of community engagement resources created for libraries as part of ALA's Libraries Transforming Communities initiative. Taken together, the collection - which includes worksheets, conversation guides and webinars - teaches libraries to "turn outward," making their communities the reference point for the libraries' work. The new tools are designed for libraries that already have been putting the "turning outward" approach to use, or those that have attended a Harwood Institute training or orientation. * "Making It Stick with Staff" is a discussion guide to help libraries reflect on their changing outlook and make the "turning outward" approach part of their everyday work. * "Making Meaning of Data" helps libraries make sense of data about library usage and activity and use that information to create programs that better serves the community's needs. * "Tracking Your Progress" provides a visual representation of the "turning outward" approach to help libraries visualize where they have been and where they are going next. Deborah McCullough, deputy director of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County in Ohio, said the "Making It Stick with Staff" tool helped facilitate teamwork among her staff. "'Making It Stick with Staff' was a great way to get staff to talk - and everyone participated! -about what the library has done to implement change," McCullough said. "The questions were practical and specifically designed to keep the conversation going, and yet allowed for reflection and analysis." Created by The Harwood Institute, the "turning outward" approach emphasizes taking steps to better understand communities; changing processes and thinking to make conversations more community-focused; becoming more proactive to community issues; and putting community aspirations first. Libraries and library professionals around the country are using this approach to: * lead conversations with community members to better understand their goals and concerns; * develop library strategic plans that benefit the library and the greater community; * connect with underserved segments of the library's service area; * overcome political gridlock; and * create professional development opportunities that meet the library system's needs. The full collection of "turning outward" resources - including a 90-day "Step-by-Step Guide to 'Turning Outward' to Your Community" - can be downloaded, free of charge, at ala.org/LTC. The new tools were conceived with insight from the Libraries Transforming Communities Public Innovators Cohort, a group of 10 public libraries selected to take part in an intensive, 18-month training into the "turning outward" approach. _______________ Sarah Ostman Communications Manager Public Programs Office American Library Association 312-280-5061 If you no longer wish to receive information via this e-list, here are the instructions on how to unsubscribe: UNSUBSCRIBE INSTRUCTIONS: * Go to http://lists.ala.org/sympa/info/alacro-l * Log in on this page; first time users will need to get a password by following instructions * Choose Unsubscribe from the left-hand column and follow instructions -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As promised, here is a link to the full results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UpJlggpN_uHy0jAcLZ_QTnqbOQWHZP6GxT4MUYNfRcM/edit?usp=sharing I know there were a lot of processing issues I didn't ask about; such as barcode placement, label locks, spine labels. If you're interested in these other issues, I'd recommend reading through the longer comments in column F; many people addressed these issues in their answer to the last question on the survey. Here is a brief summary: Responses 231 responses; 55% public, 37% academic, 8% special/private/other. Security Strips/Tags/Etc. 61% use a security device, 37% don?t, 1% sometimes, depending on the situation/collection. How many stamps? The majority of respondents (30%) stamp in 2 places. Only 3% of libraries reported stamping in 6 or more places. Where are books stamped? The most commonly reported place to stamp books was the top of book block, followed by title page. What information is on the stamp? Most libraries reported that library name and address is included on the stamp. Most academic libraries (73%) also include the name of the College/University on the stamp. Not many libraries (less than 10%) reported extra information on the stamp, such as website, logo, or email address. I created an informal document of highlights for sharing the results with others in my library. All answers are represented in the summary, but there is a more detailed focus on academic libraries. Here is a link to that document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fg8udon19NX-TXkmfgo0M21vv9w8ZCwyqdXqxj8gjpE/edit?usp=sharing On Fri, Sep 4, 2015 at 11:49 AM, Joelle Hannert wrote: > I'm assessing our level of processing for new books and am curious what > other libraries do.

We had a good turnout and it was great to see new faces coming to a library program. Several drove some distance to attend, which was great as the district covers two counties. The audience ages were wide ranging and while mostly women there were a few men who attended, also. Kathleen's knowledge of Margaret Mitchell and how the book came to be written, published, and casting the movie were insightful. The memorabilia was interesting and enjoyed by all - it felt like a private museum exhibit. This was a excellent program. I am sure everyone was happy they took time out of their busy schedules to attend. -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It will be held in Livonia at the National Headquarters for Document Freeze Drying (DFD) /Document Restoration Services. The agenda will consist of (informal) presentations / discussions with our peers about pressing or puzzling issues, followed by a tour of the facility (3 buildings!) which specializes in recovering documents, electronic files, and artwork that has been damaged in a disaster. The tour will be conducted by Bill Gulley, Archives Specialist. Fittingly, our theme for this camp will be "Preparation." ** Tentative time will be 10:00- 3:00. There is no cost for the camp, but lunch will be on your own. Registration Required. In you have attended a C&C Camp before, you know that it is conducted in an informal environment designed for us share conservation-related accomplishments, ask colleagues about their experiences, and to give & get advice. The focus is primarily, though not exclusively, about analog materials: paper, photographs, film, art, etc. Please plan to attend to share your experiences and questions AND to learn exactly how those wet & moldy documents get brought back to life. Please e-mail Whitney Miller (millerwh at msu.edu) with questions and to register. **Please note that because the camp includes a production facility tour, accessibility is limited. Participants must be able to negotiate stairs. If you have an accessibility issue, please call Whitney Miller for further information. ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v Kevin Driedger Librarian for Conservation and Digitization Library of Michigan P.O.

My apologies for any duplicates. Larry Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. Lansing, MI 48911 Contact: Nancy Feldbush (517) 324-1828 hsm at hsmichigan.org For Immediate Release NEW MICHIGAN HISTORY FOR KIDS MAGAZINE TEACHES HISTORY OF ALL MICHIGAN'S PEOPLES Lansing, Mich.-The Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) announces the release of Michigan History for Kids magazine and its accompanying website, www.michigankids.org. Aimed at children in third and fourth grades, where state history is taught in Michigan's schools, Michigan History for Kids goes beyond the textbooks, exploring the history and heritage of all Michigan's peoples. The magazine, which was designed to be a supplemental aid in classrooms, also thoroughly integrates Michigan's Grade Level Content Expectations and other emerging standards into the content. Using both print and digital platforms and a racial-equity lens, each issue brings to life a different part of our state's past and features unbiased stories about the diverse people, places and events that have impacted Michigan over time. "In every issue of Michigan History for Kids, we strive to cover all aspects of our state's history and also include stories of people of color, who are normally overlooked or often forgotten in traditional academic materials, so that students develop a more complete understanding of Michigan's history," said Larry Wagenaar, HSM Executive Director and Publisher of Michigan History for Kids. "The diverse stories, along with thought-provoking questions and fun activities, engage students and make history meaningful to children throughout the state." To ensure that Michigan History for Kids and www.michigankids.org are valuable resources for educators, HSM had them thoroughly evaluated and tested by several focus groups, including one that consisted of nearly 40 teachers and 1,400 third and fourth graders. To align with the school year and teachers' needs, the magazine is published bimonthly, minus the two major summer months when there are no classes, and the accompanying website provides interactive activities, expanded information and audio files that read the stories to students. Online lesson plans have also been created, which provide more detailed activities that can be used in the classroom. The lesson plans amplify the magazine's content and present additional information that enhance the students' learning experiences. "The Editors of Michigan History for Kids have especially sought out authors from underserved and minority communities," added Wagenaar, "which enables educators to teach Michigan's history from new perspectives." Both classroom and individual subscriptions are available. Full information, along with sample content, is available at www.michigankids.org. Previously published by the State of Michigan from 2001 to 2009, the new Michigan History for Kids magazine was made possible by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # Review copies of Michigan History for Kids are available upon request. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The webinar will feature findings from the just-released groundbreaking report, Brain-Building Powerhouses: How Museums and Libraries Can Strengthen Executive Function Life Skills. The webinar presenters include report contributors Mimi Howard and Andrea Camp, Mind in the Making author and FWI President Ellen Galinsky, and IMLS Supervisory Grants Management Specialist Helen Wechsler. They will discuss new findings from research on brain development, the importance of executive function skills, and how museums and libraries across the country are incorporating this research into their programs and exhibits. Some of the outstanding initiatives in museums and libraries featured in the report will be presented in the webinar by the following: * Laurie Kleinbaum Fink, Science Museum of Minnesota * Stephanie Terry, Children's Museum of Evansville * Kerry Salazar, Portland Children's Museum * Kimberlee Kiehl, Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center * Holly Henley, Arizona State Library * Anne Kilkenny, Providence Public Library * Kathy Shahbodaghi, Columbus Metropolitan Library Executive function skills are built on the brain processes we use to pay attention and exercise self control, to hold information in our minds so that we can use it, and to think flexibly. These skills become foundational for other skills, including delaying gratification, understanding the perspectives of others, reflection, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, and taking on challenges.

Carroll's masterpieces became some of the most known, respected, republished, analyzed, parodied, abridged, appropriated, and adapted works of literature in the world, and countless artists have been drawn to the complexities of the text. Learn more about the artistic, textual, and cultural history of Alice illustration from Arnold Hirshon , avid Carroll collector and Associate Provost and University Librarian at Case Western Reserve University. Refreshments will include tea & coffee, accompanied by cupcakes (don't worry - they won't make you grow!). The 7th floor exhibit space will be open both prior to the event and from 5:30-6 where you can visit the exhibit "Curiouser and Curiouser": Exploring Wonderland with Alice . This exhibit includes a copy of the 1865 first edition as well as diverse 20th and 21st century materials inspired by Alice and her curiosity. Attendees are encouraged to walk upstairs before and/or after the 9/21 event to enjoy the exhibit. All are welcome!

They take care of all registration details and payments and flyers, etc. We just have the room ready for them. In return, I ask that they donate back to the library the cost of one participant?s class fee each class. So, if the yoga class meets for ten weeks and it is $5 each time ? they pay me $50. This is supposed to help pay for electricity, water, cleaning, etc. They must also, once a year, offer one free class session for the public ? it helps us and helps them by giving folks a chance to try it out for free. They take care of health waivers, etc. In this way we can say it is a ?library sponsored? program and that is why they are entitled to use our room. Otherwise, we don?t rent it out to anyone ? we use it too much ourselves. We offer three classes of yoga/pilates per week (1 morning, 2 evening) (1 beginning, 1 continuing, and 1 mixed.) register in advance $5 each time if you register for whole 12-16 week session, otherwise $7 drop in. We offer two Zumba gold classes on Monday and Thursday evenings. $3/session drop in. We?re just starting Tai Chi with a local hospital community outreach program. $5/session for 10 weeks. All instructors are certified. Any other questions, let me know. We love it!

Perri, My name is Ryan Deery and I am emailing from the Suttons Bay Bingham District Library up on the Leelanau Peninsula. We are a small Class II library with very little budget for programming but we have a large senior population that lives in the area and uses the library so I spent some time asking around the community to see if anyone would be interested in offering Yoga or Pilates or a very basic exercise class aimed at beginners/retirees at the library. I was specifically looking for another retired individual that did not need income from the classes as I feel very strongly about not charging patrons for any programs held at the library and also because I knew we could not afford to pay the instructor much. As it turns out, I came upon a fairly well to do retiree that had participated in a Yoga instructor workshop, was a regular practitioner and focused specifically on gentle Yoga. She offered to do twice a week Yoga classes at the library free of charge for 10 weeks each fall (last year and again this year). These have been well attended with anywhere from 18-24 people at each class which is the max our meeting room can hold. It has also worked out for the instructor in that a few attendees then requested private, paid for Yoga instruction in their own homes leading to a little revenue. The down side of offering a free class, at least free for the library I mean, is that there is a little less accountability on the case of the instructor. For instance, just today, the instructor informed me that she will miss next week?s class and while such things happen with paid help as well, I do feel that payment does lead to someone putting a little more thought into showing up or not. We also do not have waivers, we thought about this but an informal legal adviser didn?t think it was worth it. The instructor is also very clear about only doing what you can do and not pushing it. Hope that helps, Ryan Deery Suttons Bay Bingham District Library librarian at suttonsbaylibrary.org www.suttonsbaylibrary.org (231)271-3512 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This installment of the series, hosted at the First United Methodist Church (275 W. Michigan Avenue), features Bill Rappley. He was an Infantryman in the 9th Infantry Division and started fighting in the Harz Mountains in 1945. He was also at the meeting with the Russians at the Elbe River. He witnessed the transfer of two German soldiers to the Russians who immediately shot the Germans and felt that the American officer who turned the Germans over to the Russians should have been court-martialed. Rappley will be present at the program to answer any questions about his experience. Martin will also have a collection of World War II memorabilia on display. This presentation is free and open to the public.

Message-ID: Hi Everyone! After teen read week ends in October, what can you follow it with? National Runaway Prevention Month. There are great free resources from the National Runaway Safeline (NRS), who sponsors National Runaway Prevention Month. NRS offers promotional materials free of charge. NRS wants to canvas the country to ensure every youth knows how to connect to help and hope during a crisis. http://www.1800runaway.org/free-promotional-materials/ National Runaway Safeline also has a great toolkit of ideas to promote National Runaway Prevention Month here: https://www.1800runaway.org/runaway-prevention-month/ There is also a list of resources; books, movies, documentaries, and art projects here: http://www.1800runaway.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Storytelling-toolkit.pdf " The National Runaway Switchboard estimates: -On any given night there are approximately 1.3 million homeless youth living unsupervised on the streets, in abandoned buildings, with friends or with strangers. -----Homeless youth are at a higher risk for physical abuse, sexual exploitation, mental health disabilities, substance abuse, and death. -It is estimated that 5,000 unaccompanied youth die each year as a result of assault, illness, or suicide.**" This is also a great opportunity to network with social service agencies and homeless prevention programs. We will are working with Off The Streets, a local shelter for youth experiencing homelessness and youth homelessness prevention services. They will host a table at our library to hand out youth homelessness prevention materials, make stress balls and distribute stress relieving coloring sheets. This will be our first year working together on this, and we hope it will get better every year! Let me know what works for you and I will compile a list and share it with the group!

For early literacy (up to age 5 or so), I think the AWE computers work best. We set ours up with a bench that accommodates 2 people to encourage parents/caregivers to work with the young children at those computers. Then we also have an iPad bar for our older children, geared more for ages 6-12, and those are very popular with that age group. We have preloaded them with many apps that the kids really enjoy. So that might not help you, but we have both for different audiences of kids. This works well for our community.

They are filled with educational games and often grandparents are more attracted to those computers. The iPads are certainly very popular as well but for different reasons. ?We tend to purchase award winning educational apps for the iPads. However, we also have popular apps like Minecraft on them (also educational). The kids enjoy what they find on the iPads, but sometimes I will hear parents say "We have that at home, why don't you play something else?" ?For the kids whose parents cannot afford an iPad it is nice for them to have a chance to play some of those games they hear their friends talking about. ?We also use the iPads to download electronic books like the short chapter books associated with the Wonder series, Julian's Chapter and Pluto: A Wonder Story. Until those stories were released in print format it gave those kids who don't have access to a device at home a chance to read these short stories. I guess one thing that might help you decide is to consider how much you or your staff want to have to be involved in updating, downloading, trouble shooting, etc. ?The AWE are certainly easier in that sense and you don't need an IT department to keep them running. ?The iPads are not complicated but do require more time and energy from staff. ? I think both the iPad and AWE are GREAT. ?You can't go wrong with either choice; start with one and purchase the other next time you have some extra funding. ?Good luck!

While the initial management of the iPads is a bit tricky, and keeping them up occasionally takes a bit more work (app updates, new apps, etc.), it seems to be worth it. The AWE stations require far less involvement, but are also much more static and don?t generate the buzz that the iPads do. We are planning to replace our AWE stations (at least partially) next year with iPad Pros, which have a much larger screen, making them better alternatives (though certainly not as big as the AWEs). Cost-wise, it?s about a wash, if not far in the iPads? favor, because we have to buy the apps for the iPads, whereas they come with the AWE. However, since we get to pick the apps, the list is dynamic, where with AWE things are much more fixed. I agree with the others on this; pick and choose, mix and match for your purposes. -Aaron Aaron Green Technology Manager Clinton-Macomb Public Library 40900 Romeo Plank Road Clinton Township, MI 48038 586.226.5017 From: michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org] On Behalf Of Patricia Braden Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 2:51 PM To: michlib-l Subject: [Michlib-l] IPads vs. AWE computers Hi everyone, We are considering purchasing either iPads or AWE computers in our children's area.

Petition the President Now! To: edgarcia at cranstonlibrary.org [https://secureimages.capwiz.com/ala/actionalerts_mlm.png] Bolt the "Back Door" against Federal Surveillance. Petition the President Now! The FBI and its powerful backers in Congress have been pushing relentlessly for years for access to all of our electronic communications, even the ones we think we've protected. They want to require by law that any encryption technology and software we might use to protect our privacy be deliberately built to give all of law enforcement easy access to your otherwise secure phone calls, email, texts and other electronic communications. Cyber?security experts around the globe repeatedly have said that such "back doors" can't be secured and would be irresistible lures to spies and criminals of all kinds. Mandating them, the experts say, is a horrible idea. They're right. President Obama can end the immediate threat of Congress mandating "back doors" by making a single public statement opposing them. With a single mouse click, YOU can respectfully demand that he do exactly that by signing this "We the People" petition NOW. "SaveCrypto.org," a new national campaign to get hundreds of thousands of signatures on this petition, has just been co-launched by ALA and many other leading civil liberties organiza?tions. Together, we can bolt the back door against intrusive govern?ment surveillance. Please, add your name to the SaveCrypto petition to the President now . . . and pass it on! ________________________________ Please unsubscribe below if you no longer wish to receive emails from the ALA Washington Office.

Do you have a relationship with your local school? Are the teachers there familiar with the resources students can find in your library? Do you offer to speak to groups of teachers at in-service meetings to tell them about opportunities the public library has available to augment student learning? Do you have some great ideas about getting to know the educators and administrators in your community? If so, please share them here so your colleagues can benefit from your experience. If you are looking for information about how to create these connections the upcoming, November 11 Mahoney Workshop on Collaboration and Student Achievement would be a great place to start. The day-long pre-conference event will be held in Bay City and includes opportunities to learn from a variety of presenters from both here and around the country.

Our collection has circulated really well since we started the collection in May and we have had really good attendance at our game day programs as well. To make it easier to check in our circulating games, each game has an inventory sheet of all the pieces with photographs of the pieces. That way the staff member checking it can easily see what is supposed to be in the box. I haven't had to worry about replacing a piece yet (*fingers crossed*). Please let me know if you want any more details on how we circulate our games or on our game programs.

Message-ID: The Library of Michigan is looking for judges for the Letters about Literature program. Librarians and teachers familiar with English language arts education, young adult literature, and literary programming for grades 4-12 are welcome. Judging includes reading approximately 50 letters sometime in February or March and one meeting to discuss which letters should be the winner and finalists. Meeting attendance in person is encouraged, but conference call attendance is fine. If you are interested, please contact me and let me know if you are interested in Level I (grades 4-6), Level II (grades 7-8), or Level III (grades 9-12). For more information on the program, see the announcement email below. Thank you! >>>>>>>>>> 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. We look forward to reading your student and patron letters!

Scheduled this year to take place on October 22, it's a great opportunity to share how your library creates a welcoming space for youth. And while your library might not offer organized afterschool programs, you do offer "stealth" learning opportunities just by being open when kids are not in school. If you'd like to host a celebration, Ignite Afterschool, Minnesota's afterschool network, offers a toolkit. If you want to get started right away, here are some additional resources to help you plan: * Check out the online Afterschool Alliance LoA event planning toolkit or download the LoA Event Planning Guide. They both have tons of resources, from sample templates to fun activity ideas. * View this on-demand webinar, "Planning a Lights On Afterschool Event: How to Engage Your Policymakers and the Media." * Register your event with the Afterschool Alliance, the national coordinator of LoA.

We discovered two rolls of hinged tape.? I can't tell you exactly what they are, but they most likely came from Demco in the past century.? Perhaps around the late '80s or early '90s.? One is a single layer of tape with a perforation down the middle. The other is two strips of tape, back to back, glued side out, with a line of stitching down the middle.? Looks like an X when you open it. Free to the first person to say that they would like them.? Please include your Rides code. Thanks.
