As of today we have a total of 394 MAP partner destination venues. When you consider we started with 30 partners in 2007, I think you would agree that thanks to your hard work and promotional support on behalf of the program we've made pretty good progress! 16 new partners have signed up to go live with MAP when we renew the program on May 24, 2016. New venues are as follows: Adventure Mining Company http://www.adventureminetours.com/ Allegan Old Jail Museum http://alleganoldjail.com/ Huron Lady Tour Boat Cruises http://www.huronlady.com/ Isle Royale National Park https://www.nps.gov/isro/index.htm Keweenaw National Historical Park https://www.nps.gov/kewe/index.htm Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame http://www.michiganwomenshalloffame.org/hall_of_fame.aspx Motor Cities National Heritage Area https://www.nps.gov/auto/index.htm New Buffalo Railroad Museum http://new-buffalo-railroad-museum.org/ Newaygo County Museum and Heritage Center http://newaygocountyhistory.org/ Niles History Center http://www.nileshistorycenter.org/ North Country National Scenic Trail https://www.nps.gov/noco/index.htm Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore https://www.nps.gov/piro/index.htm River Raisin National Battlefield Park https://www.nps.gov/rira/index.htm Skydive Tecumseh http://www.skydivetecumseh.com/ Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore https://www.nps.gov/slbe/index.htm Turner Dodge House and Heritage Center http://www.lansingmi.gov/tdodge We are still talking to additional, potential MAP partners for 2016-2017. I hope to be able to share more good news along these lines, very soon. You already know about the tripling in the number of checkouts for MAP for the first 10 months of this year, vs the entire 12 months of last year's program, on account I told you about that last time :) Good news there, but not new news. That said, I have a meeting scheduled next week with a potential MAP partner that could change the course of MAP history! Curious? Me too! We'll see what transpires next week. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Last year more than 15 libraries from Michigan sign up to host screenings in the past year. This is a great low-cost idea for programming for libraries of all sizes. You can find details below on what is available and how to contact the POV Community Engagement and Education Team for more information. Award-Winning Documentaries from PBS' POV Available for Free to Libraries for Screenings POV is television's longest-running showcase for independent nonfiction films, premiering 14-16 of the best, boldest and most innovative programs every year on PBS. The films are known for their intimacy, their unforgettable storytelling and their timeliness, putting a human face on contemporary social issues. These award-winning films are available to libraries for free through the POV Community Network. Along with a DVD of the film, POV provides a discussion guide and suggested reading list to help librarians facilitate community conversations and provide context for the film. In addition to over 80 films from past POV seasons, documentaries from POV's upcoming season are available for sneak-preview screenings prior to their debut on PBS. Check out their 29th Season Line-Up online with dates sneak-preview screening may begin. POV?s new season presents unforgettable stories of diverse people ? ranging from war heroes to highly stigmatized criminals ? looking to reintegrate into society, often against great odds. Other films feature heroic attempts to secure justice and education and to find fulfillment in the final stages of life. This year, each film poses difficult questions with no clear answers, providing space to engage your community in a dialogue around the most pressing social issues of our time. Trailers for the films can be seen here. The POV Community Engagement and Education team can be reached by email at events at pov.org or by phone at 212-989-8121 ext. 318.

This powerful memoir chronicles Woodson's coming of age amid the backdrop of the turbulent 1960's. Woodson finds her voice and tells her story through beautifully rendered poems steeped in memory and rich with family ties. Because reading is as much about discovering our commonalities as learning about our differences, we hope that KDL Reads inspires community members of all ages to: * Read this book * Explore their own cultural heritage and family experiences * Engage with others about those experiences, and * Create something personally meaningful Of special note to our library community in Michigan are the following events. We hope you can join us!

Mr. Hamilton will be discussing his latest novel, The Second Life of Nick Mason. After serving 5 years of a 25-to life prison sentence, Nick Mason is out of prison thanks to Darius Cole, an inmate who controls a vast criminal empire. There's one catch: anytime Cole calls Nick, he must carry out a task. Each task becomes more deadly eventually threatening those Nick holds dear. The Second Life of Nick Mason has already been optioned for a film and has received rave reviews, including: * [Second.Life.Nick.Mason.Hamilton] "Hamilton surpasses himself with Mason, who inspires storytelling of the leanest, most gripping sort"- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * "It moves like a bullet train, told in a deceptively simple, gin-clear prose that all but sucker punches the reader. One of his best." - Booklist (starred review) * "Hamilton guns it...for a fast and furious ride" - Publisher's Weekly (starred review) * "This book is the real-deal" - Stephen King * "A game changer. Nick Mason is one of the best main characters I've read in years."- Harlen Coben * "Hamilton once again reinvents himself and the genre with another wonderful character and story." - Michael Connelly * "Stunning. A gripping non-stop thriller." - Don Winslow, author of The Cartel and The Power of the Dog Don't miss the chance to hear Steve Hamilton discuss what is sure to be one of the major book releases of the year! This event costs $20 and includes lunch. The Ukrainian Cultural Center is located at 26601 Ryan Road, Warren, MI 48091. Tickets are available for purchase at the Warren Civic Center Library. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Warren Public Library. For more information, call 586.574.4564.

These banners will display historic World War I era photos; chosen from those currently being collected from Chelsea-area residents. Deborah Greer, co-Director of Chelsea River Gallery, originally conceptualized this project. ?I was moved by an exhibit by artist Marian Marzynski titled ?Before I Was Anybody, I Was a Child Survivor of the Holocaust?. It displayed large-scale outdoor banners with images of child Holocaust survivors from Warsaw. The inspiration to do something similar in Chelsea for our WWI veterans took hold and would not let go,? says Deborah. She and her co-Director, Patti Schwarz then approached the Chelsea District Library to help make it a reality. This partnership continues a long-term relationship between the two organizations; one that has created and produced several community events focused on art and culture. Both organizations will be instrumental in the planning and implementation of this commemorative display, which will kick-off on Saturday, July 30th. CDL received an initial grant from Michigan Humanities Council (MHC) in November that allowed this commemorative project to get off the ground. In March, the World War I project was incorporated into the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce?s grant application for the Community Tourism Action Plan Program (CTAP) through Washtenaw County Convention and Visitors Bureau. ?This project is one of the most intriguing collaborations yet for our community. It speaks to the heritage of our community, our country, and the world in ways that are very distant to most of our citizens,? says Bob Pierce, Executive Director of the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce. On March 24th the CTAP grant application was approved, allowing the World War I project to expand from the downtown area into the south end of Chelsea. CDL has launched the World War I Commemorative Centennial Project on the *Stories of Chelsea* website, available at www.storiesofchelsea.chelseadistrictlibrary.org where you can browse the first photographs and stories collected. CDL continues to look for Word War I era photographs, stories, and artifacts from the community. While photographs will continue to be accepted, in order for them to be considered for the banners they must be received by April 25th. Community members with items to contribute can contact Keegan Sulecki, Head of Adult Services at 734.475.8732 x218 or at ksulecki at chelseadistrictlibrary.org.

It takes place Friday, April 15, 2016 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. This event is intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. It's an informal, unconference-style gathering intended to bring people to share ideas, technologies, and to spark discussion. Library Camp is free to attend and will be held at the Downtown Library at 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. It's not too late to attend! Just click here to register . The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them talk about whatever they'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and start the day with a discussion of topics we'd like to talk about to fill in the agenda. We've got time for four sessions and room for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. Bring your ideas and quandaries. AADL staff will be on hand to help with directing the conversation, but like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! Further details are at: http://www.aadl.org/libcamp16 . See you Friday, April 15th!

What happened that influenced the world into which these people were born? What happened in their lives that molded who and what they became, ultimately influencing what we have become? What are their stories? Local author Laurice LaZebnik will discuss her search to find answers in her own family tree and the importance of discovering your own. Join author LaZebnik's talk about her historical research, her discovery that her great-grandmother was a bootlegger posing as a potato farmer and learn how to preserve your own family's history. "Minnie's Potatoes," Lazebnik's third novel, is historical fiction based on the romantic life of her great-grandmother in Prussia, her life as a pioneer in early Michigan's lumbering era, and her life as a businesswoman brewing and bootlegging moonshine. "Minnie's Potatoes has that Laura Ingalls Wilder appeal at a mature level. This historical romance is an adult "Little House on the Prairie," set in Michigan's lumbering era and its path through Prohibition." - Valerie Valentine LaZebnik's previous titles include "The Atomic Sailor" and "Strongheart." More information can be found at http://lauricelazebnik.com/ This event will take place at Jackson District Library's Carnegie Branch, 244 W.

For example, we received only a 10% discount on the heavily promoted Rise of the rocket girls (Little, Brown). When I questioned the discount, I was told "This book falls under 'Text, Technical, Reference, Small Press' titles, which under their Michigan state contract is 10%." Today, I received more books with a 10% discount (DK Publishing, Penguin Books), so I went back through invoices received since the beginning of 2016 and found many others (Crown, Norton, Houghton Mifflin) that are not technical books, but rather books marketed as basic non-fiction. My sales rep is working with me on this, but I wanted to know if this is affecting only my library or all Michigan libraries. Maureen Maureen Derenzy, Library Director Otsego County Library 700 S.

Teresa Irish presented last night on the Journey of the Thousand Letters. After her father passed, they found 1,000 letters that he had written home during his tour of duty in the European theater during WWII, and Teresa wrote a book which includes many of the letters titled A Thousand Letters Home. Teresa kept the crowd enraptured with her tales of family life in Saginaw, her father's war time experiences, and his pride in his children. She supported her talk with music and photographs, and willingly answered all questions at the conclusion of her talk. Perhaps best of all, from a library staff point of view, Teresa was a dream to work with-very organized, and quick to respond to emails or calls.

Fletcher Public Library will be an entertaining, informative presentation about historic, tragic, and humorous events on the iconic ?Mighty Mack.? Since construction began in 1954, the Mackinac Bridge has withstood gale-force winds, the pressure of crushing ice flows, and blinding snowstorms. Since its opening in 1957, it has been struck by lightning, and hit by an airplane and a ship, yet still stands as perhaps the safest five miles of I-75. Take a trip through the first six decades of the bridge?s history and experience unusual crossings, triumph and tragedy. Parades of vehicles and pedestrians have crossed over the Mackinac Bridge and flotillas of ships have passed under it. Hear the stories, see the photos and meet the people who have made this engineering wonder a symbol of the state of Michigan. Author Mike Fornes covered the Mackinac Bridge and the USCG Mackinaw for 26 years for several outlets in Northern Michigan, including radio and television stations and the Cheboygan Daily Tribune. A resident of Mackinaw city, Fornes is frequently in demand as a guest speaker and presenter to tour groups, cruise ship organizations and historical societies. He is the author of the 2008 Michigan Notable Book /Mackinac Bridge- A 50 Year Chronicle 1957-2000, USCGC Mackinaw WAGB 83: An Illustrated History of a Great Lakes Queen/ and Arcadia Publishing?s /Images of America:/ /Mackinac Bridge/ and /USCG Mackinaw WLBB-30/.

What happened that influenced the world into which these people were born? What happened in their lives that molded who and what they became, ultimately influencing what we have become? What are their stories? Local author Laurice LaZebnik will discuss her search to find answers in her own family tree and the importance of discovering your own. Join author LaZebnik's talk about her historical research, her discovery that her great-grandmother was a bootlegger posing as a potato farmer and learn how to preserve your own family's history. "Minnie's Potatoes," Lazebnik's third novel, is historical fiction based on the romantic life of her great-grandmother in Prussia, her life as a pioneer in early Michigan's lumbering era, and her life as a businesswoman brewing and bootlegging moonshine. "Minnie's Potatoes has that Laura Ingalls Wilder appeal at a mature level. This historical romance is an adult "Little House on the Prairie," set in Michigan's lumbering era and its path through Prohibition." - Valerie Valentine LaZebnik's previous titles include "The Atomic Sailor" and "Strongheart." More information can be found at http://lauricelazebnik.com/ This event will take place at Jackson District Library's Carnegie Branch, 244 W. Michigan Avenue, Jackson, MI, on Wednesday, April 13 at 6:30-7:30 p.m. Intended for adults. Please call Debby Sears at 517-788-4087 for more information on this event.

For example, we received only a 10% discount on the heavily promoted Rise of the rocket girls (Little, Brown). When I questioned the discount, I was told "This book falls under 'Text, Technical, Reference, Small Press' titles, which under their Michigan state contract is 10%." Today, I received more books with a 10% discount (DK Publishing, Penguin Books), so I went back through invoices received since the beginning of 2016 and found many others (Crown, Norton, Houghton Mifflin) that are not technical books, but rather books marketed as basic non-fiction. My sales rep is working with me on this, but I wanted to know if this is affecting only my library or all Michigan libraries. Maureen Maureen Derenzy, Library Director Otsego County Library 700 S.

Teresa Irish presented last night on the Journey of the Thousand Letters. After her father passed, they found 1,000 letters that he had written home during his tour of duty in the European theater during WWII, and Teresa wrote a book which includes many of the letters titled A Thousand Letters Home. Teresa kept the crowd enraptured with her tales of family life in Saginaw, her father's war time experiences, and his pride in his children. She supported her talk with music and photographs, and willingly answered all questions at the conclusion of her talk. Perhaps best of all, from a library staff point of view, Teresa was a dream to work with-very organized, and quick to respond to emails or calls.

Fletcher Public Library will be an entertaining, informative presentation about historic, tragic, and humorous events on the iconic ?Mighty Mack.? Since construction began in 1954, the Mackinac Bridge has withstood gale-force winds, the pressure of crushing ice flows, and blinding snowstorms. Since its opening in 1957, it has been struck by lightning, and hit by an airplane and a ship, yet still stands as perhaps the safest five miles of I-75. Take a trip through the first six decades of the bridge?s history and experience unusual crossings, triumph and tragedy. Parades of vehicles and pedestrians have crossed over the Mackinac Bridge and flotillas of ships have passed under it. Hear the stories, see the photos and meet the people who have made this engineering wonder a symbol of the state of Michigan. Author Mike Fornes covered the Mackinac Bridge and the USCG Mackinaw for 26 years for several outlets in Northern Michigan, including radio and television stations and the Cheboygan Daily Tribune. A resident of Mackinaw city, Fornes is frequently in demand as a guest speaker and presenter to tour groups, cruise ship organizations and historical societies. He is the author of the 2008 Michigan Notable Book /Mackinac Bridge- A 50 Year Chronicle 1957-2000, USCGC Mackinaw WAGB 83: An Illustrated History of a Great Lakes Queen/ and Arcadia Publishing?s /Images of America:/ /Mackinac Bridge/ and /USCG Mackinaw WLBB-30/.

Below you can find information on additional low cost resources your library may take advantage of to help support learning in your community. Also, take a look at other resources available at no cost on the website, www.moneysmartweek.org/resources Shannon Libraries celebrating Money Smart Week, April 23 - 30, will have the opportunity to take advantage of an offer from publisher HarperCollins to receive special pricing for simultaneous access to seven finance-related eBook titles. >From April 15 through May 15, participating libraries can obtain, at the price of $100, unlimited access to the following titles: "Real Money Answers for Every Woman," by Patrice C. Washington; "The New Totally Awesome Money Book for Kids," by Arthur Bochner and Rose Bochner; "The Wall Street Journal Guide to the New Rules of Personal Finance," by Dave Kansas; "The Aspirational Investor," by Ashvin B. Chhabra; "The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money," by Ron Lieber; "The Intelligent Investor," by Benjamin Graham"; and "The Truth About Money," by Ric Edelman. Libraries should contact their vendors for further information. Created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002, Money Smart Week(r) is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. The American Library Association (ALA) is among several partnering organizations. Participating libraries provide programming for all ages and all stages of life on topics such as: basic budgeting; managing student debt; retirement planning; home purchasing; saving money through couponing; and how to prevent identity theft. "The ALA is excited that HarperCollins is providing this opportunity for libraries to circulate information and resources to help Americans realize their financial goals," said ALA President Sari Feldman. "Financial literacy skills are absolutely crucial in our society, regardless of age or financial status." "We also applaud HarperCollins for recognizing that libraries are dynamic centers of learning in the digital age," said Feldman, who led an ALA delegation in meetings with Big 5 publishing executives in December to discuss expanding the options for library ebook lending business models to give libraries more choice - one idea that emerged was the possibility of special pr motions tied to specific subject matter. "This is an important step in the development of the relationship between libraries and publishers, a relationship that will have long-lasting implications for reading and literacy." Carolyn Anthony, co-chair of the ALA's Digital Content Working Group (DCWG) and a member of the delegation that met in December, said of the promotion , "This is a positive development and a clear indication that the relationship between ALA and publishers is moving in the right direction. We welcome experimentation with terms and pricing that will help libraries develop breadth in their digital collections."

Message-ID: Please see below for information on the Summer Reading PSAs, including spots with Kate DiCamillo, and how to download them. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov Each April, Michigan celebrates the Month of the Young Child. Go to www.miaeyc.org to learn more. [Description: Description: cid:image001.jpg at 01CBED4E.B36258B0] We are excited to announce that the 2016 PSA pieces are now available for download from the CSLP website! When you login to the website you can access and download the pieces under the Proprietary Downloads section by clicking on PSA. There is a section with links suitable for use by librarians on library websites/social media and a section with links suitable for use by broadcast stations. Please note that there are also a number of PSA pieces featuring Summer Reading Champion Kate DiCamillo that your librarians can use to promote summer reading to children or to community leaders - an exciting continuation of our relationship with Kate for this summer! There are a few important points to keep in mind when accessing the PSA files online and they are as follows: 1. If you are just looking for quick and easy access to general PSA pieces to share on your library website, share with schools, play on a library television set, and so forth you will most likely want to use the files from the section for librarians in the iPhone/iPad Kate DiCamillo link. These files are the smallest size files and will take the least amount of time to download. Do note also that the first file listed under this link is the largest sized file as it will play all the PSA pieces on a loop ? a new addition for this year! 2. If you are looking to customize the main PSA pieces with details about your library you can do that and would want to access files from either the section for librarians or the section for broadcasters depending on the type of file/quality you will need. It is best to consult with staff in your library system, state, or community about what your needs might be should you wish to customize or share on broadcast television. 3. Files that are of higher quality and resolution are larger in size ? and will take some time to download depending on the Internet access at your library. Files that end in .mov or .mpeg are larger sized files and will take longer to download. Files that end in .m4v are smaller files and should download in a reasonable amount of time. 4. You may want to make sure that your media player/computer is current on all its updates and recommend the same to your librarians. These files will play in Windows Media Player or Quicktime. Quicktime is available for free online. If you are just interested in viewing the PSA pieces or sharing on social media ? please consider linking or sharing the videos from CSLP?s YouTube page! This is a very quick and easy option for those who do not wish to customize or download pieces - but rather just share and view! Those links can be found here: PSA :30 English https://youtu.be/MNkEY1Ugar4 PSA :30 Spanish https://youtu.be/YzN0FaRPZBg Kate :30 Summer Reading Message: https://youtu.be/O0Euf2sZon0 Kate Summer Message: https://youtu.be/UXOXEztYWBI Kate Work Together Message: https://youtu.be/aN2LSKFLYgk Kate Sports Message: https://youtu.be/rLobHhpL-5U :60 - PSA + Kate: https://youtu.be/vwQa-M9S7Vg Finally, those of you who ordered DVDs of the PSA pieces should be receiving those at some point next week. They are being processed by the disc duplicator at this time with an estimated completion and shipment date for the end of this week. Also, additional discs will eventually be available for purchase on the CSLP shop online.

Yes, they were Yoopers :) Alas, I was born a troll :( When we would go "home" to visit family in the summer, we rode around in their AMC cars (anyone remember those?) and watched on television (or more often listened to on the radio), the Milwaukee Brewers (remember, this was the far western/northern U.P.). In the Fall our relatives looked forward to the start of football season or more precisely, the start of the Green Bay Packers football season. We would watch or listen to Bart Starr (anyone remember him?) "go deep," often against a team that in those years was based in Detroit, then Pontiac, and now Detroit again. AMC is long gone, although their Jeep lives on. I believe Bart Starr is still around, although he has to be getting up there. And thanks to the Michigan Activity Pass, between Memorial Day and October 15 your patrons can "go deep" with the newest MAP partner venue, Iron Mountain Iron Mine in Vulcan http://ironmountainironmine.wix.com/ironmine Following your tour, buy a pasty to eat and and a souvenir mineral to take home. Special thanks to Megan Buck, Director, Dickinson County Library in Iron Mountain for doing the heavy lifting to get Iron Mountain Iron Mine (and a number of other destinations in her service area) signed up for MAP.

We are thinking of doing away with the permission slips for several reasons. 1. Parents are not reading the slips, they're just signing 2. Anyone using our computers has to accept our computer policy before they can get on the Internet 3. Our Internet is filtered in the children's department, and children are not allowed on the computers in the adult department unless a parent is sitting with them 4. We have kept up with a list of children who have and have not turned in permission slips (several hundred names are on this list), but as staff retires or moves onto other positions, our newer staff does not know who all these children are and have found using this list to be very confusing and/or tedious. The biggest reason we have not discontinued use of the permission slips is because our Wi-Fi is not filtered (but our Internet is). We are wondering if other libraries require permission slips before allowing minors to use filtered computers? If so, what are your reasons? If you don't require permission slips or have done away with them, what are your reasons?

I am pleased to let you know that the live webinar being offered on Sunday, April 17 from 1:00-2:00 PM (ET) is an Echoes and Reflections Enhanced Learning Opportunity developed and designed for educators who have previously completed an introductory Echoes and Reflections program. It will be presented live from Yad Vashem in Jerusalem by the International School for Holocaust Studies. The focus of the webinar will be on Righteous Among the Nations and is designed to prepare educators and students for viewing Yad Vashem's traveling exhibit "Besa: A Code of Honor" which is previewed at http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/besa/. This exhibit highlights Muslim Albanians who helped shelter Jews during the Holocaust. Expanding the topic of Rescuers and Non-Jewish Resistance, the session will provide a more in-depth study of the complexity of the decisions made by the Righteous Among the Nations in various countries. What moral lessons can be learned from these stories? How are the actions of communities and organizations different from those of diplomats or individuals? Can one person make a difference? Registration is available at http://bitly.com/BesaWebinar and will close on Wednesday night. There is no cost for this professional development event. This will also be the first time that Yad Vashem has delivered such an online training session in real time remotely from abroad to the US. You may participate in the webinar from your home or join a big screen group viewing of the webinar from the premises of Lakeview High School in Battle Creek. Registration is limited to 30 participants. You will receive an email confirmation that your registration has been received followed by login instructions by Thursday, April 14, 2016. Thank you for your consideration and we hope that you will be able to participate on April 17!

This year, we're teaming up with the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) to help expand our efforts and take advantage of the momentum started by the nearly 400 library supporters who plan to attend NLLD. Their Chapters' members are pledging their time to make calls, send emails, tweet, and otherwise raise awareness about library issues during the week of May 2nd. To date, the HPA has received pledges for nearly 500 actions from their members! We think we can do our wizarding friends even better. Over the next few weeks, please ask everyone in your circles -- members, followers, patrons, fellow library staffers, and listservs -- to join us! Once they register for VLLD, we'll follow up by sending them talking points and other handy resources they can use to advocate easily and effectively. We'll be including a link to a webstream of the National Library Legislative day program, live from Washington, on the morning of May 2nd. They'll get to hear our keynote speaker, former Congressman Rush Holt, and listen in on this year's issue briefing. I've attached a few graphics that I'll be using to promote VLLD on social media this year. There's also a handy resource toolkit for librarians who may want to get younger advocates involved. Please feel free to use them as you like! You can also find out more by visiting the United for Libraries and the Harry Potter Alliance webpages, or by subscribing to the Action Center. Please feel free to contact Lisa Lindle, Grassroots Communications Specialist for ALA Washington, if you have any questions. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Whether Greeley was truly responsible for this catchphrase of American folklore is for people who are far more intelligent than I am to decide. What I do know, however is that the mission of MAP is to explore new worlds, to seek out new MAP destinations, and to boldly go where no MAP has gone before. Etc. To that end, to reach either of our two brand new partner destinations, at least from where I am typing these lines, you need to head north. While on your way, take a break and stop in at our newest MAP venue, Mackinaw Area Historical Society Heritage Village http://www.mackinawhistory.org/ Then, cross that big bridge, turn left, and drive west. If you see people wearing cheese on their heads that means you are in Wisconsin. You've gone too far. Instead, stop when you get to Wakefield and visit our other new MAP partner, the Wakefield Historical Society Museum http://www.hsmichigan.org/resources/local-historical-organizations/wakefield-historical-society/ Their website may be a work in progress, but don't let that discourage you (or your patrons). The launch of newly expanded MAP is only about six weeks away. We are working to prepare new press material, a new brochure, etc. It is our belief that the addition of the seven National Park Service destinations to MAP will give the program yet another big boost for 2016-2017. That, combined with your much appreciated hard work to promote and publicize the program, should result in even better awareness and usage of MAP during the upcoming program cycle. Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

I just skimmed through it, and thought it was a pretty engaging story that leaves plenty of room for discussion with older kids - there are The Bad Guys (who use the n-word), but there?s also a fairly nuanced portrait of white people in a Civil Rights era small town. They?re not all brave and good, but not all purely evil racists ? I think it could be a really useful read along with older kids who aren?t quite YA age yet. That said, I?m really interested to hear others? opinions. ------------------------------- Meredith Sommers, MLIS Reference Librarian Bayliss Public Library Superior District Library 541 Library Dr. Sault Ste.

I invite you to see/meet Larry on Tuesday, May 24 at 7pm at the Northville Community Center (adjacent to the Northville District Library). This presentation will highlight the life of Francis Angier: Service: Army Air Corps Unit: 8th Air Force Francis Angier was shot down on the 25th of October, 1944. He was at 30,000 ft. when his plane was shot down resulting in the death of several of his crewmen. Francis did not open his parachute until he was at treetop level because the fuselage of the plane was very close to him and he was afraid that the parachute would become entangled in the wreckage of the plane. Francis was horribly injured in the parachute landing as well as being hit in the face by a civilian with a large piece of wood later on. Francis was taken to Stalag Luft #3 which is where an escape took place that was later made into a movie called ?The Great Escape?. He was told by some of the men that were there at the time that the movie was quite accurate in the portrayal of what happened, though Mr. Angier arrived about a month after the escape took place. Lt. Angier also tells of the forced march he endured in order to escape the Russians though they were our allies. He had to suffer the worst of the winter of 1945 and his weight dropped 60 lbs. You can register for the program online here: http://bit.ly/1VyrCew or by calling the library at 248.349.3020. I have also attached a flyer, if you'd care to post it in your library.

Everyone is welcome to join us (no registration is necessary). We have heard nothing but good things about Larry's program and he's been very easy to work with.

I invite you to see/meet Larry on Tuesday, May 24 at 7pm at the Northville Community Center (adjacent to the Northville District Library). This presentation will highlight the life of Francis Angier: Service: Army Air Corps Unit: 8th Air Force Francis Angier was shot down on the 25th of October, 1944. He was at 30,000 ft. when his plane was shot down resulting in the death of several of his crewmen. Francis did not open his parachute until he was at treetop level because the fuselage of the plane was very close to him and he was afraid that the parachute would become entangled in the wreckage of the plane. Francis was horribly injured in the parachute landing as well as being hit in the face by a civilian with a large piece of wood later on. Francis was taken to Stalag Luft #3 which is where an escape took place that was later made into a movie called ?The Great Escape?. He was told by some of the men that were there at the time that the movie was quite accurate in the portrayal of what happened, though Mr. Angier arrived about a month after the escape took place. Lt. Angier also tells of the forced march he endured in order to escape the Russians though they were our allies. He had to suffer the worst of the winter of 1945 and his weight dropped 60 lbs. You can register for the program online here: http://bit.ly/1VyrCew or by calling the library at 248.349.3020. I have also attached a flyer, if you'd care to post it in your library.

That's not a violation of his/her "rights," in my opinion. You're simply trying to make certain your library provides a safe environ- ment for all. Non gun-toters have "rights," too.

We did have an older gentleman who would come in with a side arm. Our police department was notified and spoke with him. Not sure what was said, but he does not bring his gun in any longer. When we call 911, we were told to tell dispatch it was a non-emergency call, and then tell them what the situation is. Good luck. Hate guns in the library.

(Think of this as comparable to a poster session; the "Talk with the Talkers" period will last for 30 minutes immediately following the Lightning Talks.)

Please register to take part in Virtual Library Legislative Day (VLLD) during the week of May 2nd. This is a chance to advocate for library programs at the federal level. For instance: The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is helping to bring attention to effective school library programs; we want to make sure as federal legislators are putting together implementation plans that they include school libraries. In addition federal funding supports MeL resources in Michigan; without that funding - our students would not have the free access to the great resources provided by MeL. IMLS is an important federal agency and they provide great programs and resources. Our legislators need to hear that we support this funding and believe this funding is vital. ALL libraries are important to our communities. Please see the forwarded message from the American Library Association (ALA) about VLLD. Once you register (you don't have to be an ALA member to register and participate), ALA will send you some talking points and easy ways to get involved. --Kathy Kathy Lester, MLIS, MA MAME Advocacy Chair, Past-President 2014 School Librarian/Technology Integrationist East Middle School, Plymouth-Canton Schools 2012 State Librarian's Excellence Award Winner kathyL at mimame.org cell: 810-333-5873 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ALA Washington Office > Date: Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 1:33 PM Subject: Library advocates, you've been challenged! To: kathyl at mimame.org [https://secureimages.capwiz.com/ala/actionalerts_mlm.png] As part of National Library Legislative Day 2016 (NLLD), we are offering library advocates unable to attend in person the chance to participate through Virtual Library Legislative Day (VLLD)! This year, we're teaming up with the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) to help expand our efforts and take advantage of the momentum started by the nearly 400 library supporters who plan to attend NLLD. Their Chapters' members are pledging their time to make calls, send emails, tweet, and otherwise raise awareness about library issues during the week of May 2nd. To date, the HPA has received pledges for nearly 500 actions from their members! We think we can do our wizarding friends even better. Over the next few weeks, please take a second to register and then ask everyone in your circles -- members, followers, patrons, fellow library staffers, and listservs -- to join us! We'll follow up by sending out talking points and other handy resources you can use to advocate easily and effectively. We'll also be including a link to a webstream of the National Library Legislative day program, live from Washington, on the morning of May 2nd. You'll get to hear our keynote speaker, former Congressman Rush Holt, and listen in on this year's issue briefing. There's also a handy resource toolkit, put together by the Harry Potter Alliance, for librarians who may want to get younger advocates involved. You can also find out more by visiting the United for Libraries and the Harry Potter Alliance webpages, or by subscribing to the Action Center. Please feel free to contact Lisa Lindle, Grassroots Communications Specialist for ALA Washington, if you have any questions. ________________________________ ________________________________ Please unsubscribe below if you no longer wish to receive emails from the ALA Washington Office.

Whether Greeley was truly responsible for this catchphrase of American folklore is for people who are far more intelligent than I am to decide. What I do know, however is that the mission of MAP is to explore new worlds, to seek out new MAP destinations, and to boldly go where no MAP has gone before. Etc. To that end, to reach either of our two brand new partner destinations, at least from where I am typing these lines, you need to head north. While on your way, take a break and stop in at our newest MAP venue, Mackinaw Area Historical Society Heritage Village http://www.mackinawhistory.org/ Then, cross that big bridge, turn left, and drive west. If you see people wearing cheese on their heads that means you are in Wisconsin. You've gone too far. Instead, stop when you get to Wakefield and visit our other new MAP partner, the Wakefield Historical Society Museum http://www.hsmichigan.org/resources/local-historical-organizations/wakefield-historical-society/ Their website may be a work in progress, but don't let that discourage you (or your patrons). The launch of newly expanded MAP is only about six weeks away. We are working to prepare new press material, a new brochure, etc. It is our belief that the addition of the seven National Park Service destinations to MAP will give the program yet another big boost for 2016-2017. That, combined with your much appreciated hard work to promote and publicize the program, should result in even better awareness and usage of MAP during the upcoming program cycle. Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

I invite you to see/meet Larry on Tuesday, May 24 at 7pm at the Northville Community Center (adjacent to the Northville District Library). This presentation will highlight the life of Francis Angier: Service: Army Air Corps Unit: 8th Air Force Francis Angier was shot down on the 25th of October, 1944. He was at 30,000 ft. when his plane was shot down resulting in the death of several of his crewmen. Francis did not open his parachute until he was at treetop level because the fuselage of the plane was very close to him and he was afraid that the parachute would become entangled in the wreckage of the plane. Francis was horribly injured in the parachute landing as well as being hit in the face by a civilian with a large piece of wood later on. Francis was taken to Stalag Luft #3 which is where an escape took place that was later made into a movie called ?The Great Escape?. He was told by some of the men that were there at the time that the movie was quite accurate in the portrayal of what happened, though Mr. Angier arrived about a month after the escape took place. Lt. Angier also tells of the forced march he endured in order to escape the Russians though they were our allies. He had to suffer the worst of the winter of 1945 and his weight dropped 60 lbs. You can register for the program online here: http://bit.ly/1VyrCew or by calling the library at 248.349.3020. I have also attached a flyer, if you'd care to post it in your library.

Do you have a program, project, collaboration, experience or idea that explores and of these themes? If so, please consider submitting a proposal to present at the MIX Conference. We invite academic librarians, public librarians and school media specialists to submit proposals. Presentation opportunities fall into two types: Short Presentations (20 minutes plus 5 minutes Q&A) These are the more traditional conference style presentations, with or without Powerpoints or Prezis, and handouts. Lightning Talks (5 minutes) Lightning talks are strictly limited to 5 minutes and 7 slides. Your goal is to provide an overview that will inspire your audience to learn more about your work. Because of the nature of these very short presentations, all selected Lightning Talk presenters will have an opportunity to discuss their presentation at a "Talk with the Talkers" informal discussion with interested attendees after all Lighting Talks have been completed. You are welcome to bring handouts or other materials to distribute. (Think of this as comparable to a poster session; the "Talk with the Talkers" period will last for 30 minutes immediately following the Lightning Talks.) All proposals will be blind-reviewed by the MIX Conference Planning Group. To apply, complete the form linked below, which asks for a maximum 250-word summary. We look forward to hearing about what you are doing! Proposal Form available at https://waynestate.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3VHesYAqjw0E4Zv. Deadline: May 15, 2016 Questions? Contact Veronica Bielat, vbielat at wayne.edu or 313-577-4217 *Please note: Because of the nature of this grassroots event, we are unable to waive registration fees for presenters, which will be less than $30. Registration for MIX will be available in early June.

We did have an older gentleman who would come in with a side arm. Our police department was notified and spoke with him. Not sure what was said, but he does not bring his gun in any longer. When we call 911, we were told to tell dispatch it was a non-emergency call, and then tell them what the situation is. Good luck. Hate guns in the library.

Library staff are not trained to determine the intent of someone carrying a gun in the library. Perhaps it is holstered and appears to be a non-emergency, but they may escalate it once they get to their intended target... I asked our Chief of Police and he concurred that we are to call 911 and leave it to the police to determine the carrier's intent. Of note, the library and city hall in our community have "no guns allowed" signs posted on our front doors per instruction from Village administration. So even if someone has no-ill intent, they are making a conscious decision to ignore our signage. Being an urban-suburban community, we are less likely to have open-carry citizens coming in. However, an open-carry citizen came into my church to make a statement a couple years ago. Plus, there are have been active shooters, with subsequent lock downs, within a 5-mile radius of our library in the last couple years. We've even had staff members on phone-conference-calls with people who had to exit the meeting due to a lockdown. You just never know what will happen and when - and I and my staff are not the ones to judge the situation. I'll get off my soap-box now - and go schedule our active-shooter training for later this year. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

The traditional wall outlets are inconvenient for how students work/study in the library. They typically do collaborative work at the larger desks.

Libraries are a locus of informal learning. As the number of STEM related careers continues to multiply, libraries can play a key role in fostering the interest and excitement for STEM learning that may be missing in schools. Through the generous support of a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Kitsap Regional Library System (KRL) has developed a ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community STEM leaders. If you feel like an "accidental STEM librarian" and are wondering how to get started, staff at this semi-rural library system will share fresh ideas and hands-on, practical advice for planning and implementing impactful programs. Learn how to take the lead with informal learning for youth and families in your community. Presenters: From Kitsap Regional Library, Shannon Peterson, Youth Services Manager and Seth Ciotti, BiblioTEC Program Manager This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural & Small Libraries. Introducing Learning Circles: Online Learning, Offline Tuesday, May 3, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/introducing-learning-circles.html Learning Circles offer a solution to the isolation of online learning by creating study groups for learners who want to take their online courses together, in-person. Developed by Chicago Public Library and P2PU, these librarian-facilitated study groups meet weekly in the library for 6-8 weeks to work through online courses in subjects ranging from resume writing to public speaking to web design. Participants experience the value of sharing strategies, progress and companionship with peers, all in a low-stress environment. Join presenters Grif Peterson of P2PU and Kate Lapinski of Chicago Public Library to learn more details and recent highlights of the program. If you decide that Learning Circles could work at your library, you can take advantage of the P2PU open source toolkit for librarians and practitioners around the world who want to start running Learning Circles in their community.

In the forwarded message, you will see the names of legislators serving on that committee. If your representative appears on the list below, please consider sending them a quick email today or tomorrow encouraging them to support this bill. Thanks very much! ******************************** Shawn Andary, ALS System Admin UP Region of Library Cooperation 1615 Presque Isle Ave Marquette, MI 49855 v (906)226-4675 Ext. 4 f (906)228-5627 COSUGI Regional & Special User Group Liaison 2015-16 May 23-25, 2016 (Pre-conference May 22) http://www.cosugi.org/conference ******************************** ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kathleen Carlson Date: Mon, Apr 25, 2016 at 9:31 AM Subject: Fwd: "Dark Store Bill" To: Please contact the state representative listed below, asking them to support HB 5578. The bill will be taken up on Wednesday, April 27, by the House Tax Policy Committee. Rep. David Maturen introduced legislation to ensure that equitable determinations are made when the entire Michigan Tax Tribunal hears an assessment dispute. House Bill 5578 would require the entire Michigan Tax Tribunal to make its own, independent determination of the highest and best use of the property that is the subject of the appeal and insure that the comparable properties have the same highest and best use. ?The Michigan Tax Tribunal, in recent decisions, has taken into account sales of ?dark stores? ? vacant structures that most often have deed restrictions ? when determining the assessed value of fully functional big box retail stores,? said Rep. Maturen, R-Brady Township. ?This legislation eliminates the ?dark store? loophole, and creates fair policies that will be used for all assessment disputes heard by the entire Tax Tribunal.? Bill would close 'dark store' assessing loophole Equitable, fair determinations on property tax appeal cases before the Michigan Tax Tribunal (MTT) would be ensured under HB 5578. The bill would require the MTT to make its own, independent determination of the highest and best use of the property under appeal, and ensure that comparable properties are used when comparing the same highest and best use. In recent years, the MTT has used the "dark store" assessing theory when determining the assessed value of fully functional big box retail stores. The result is much lower than expected property valuations because, instead of the true cash value, the property is compared to the sales of vacant structures that most often have deed restrictions that severely limit their use. Once limited to primarily "big box" stores, this issue now has a much larger impact to state and local governments, as fast food restaurants, auto parts stores and national chain pharmacies are seeking the same treatment--all at the expense of local governments, their residents and other businesses in the community. For townships and other local governments, this issue is about far more than their budgets--money that could be spent on fire protection, roads or economic development. It is about ensuring that all taxpayers pay their fair share and that all properties are being properly valued. HB 5578 would create a level playing field based on sound appraisal principles by eliminating the dark store "loophole-"-allowing the use of bad comparables and deed restrictions--that has been used far too often. Rather, the bill would provide a fair, transparent process for all property tax assessment disputes heard by the entire tribunal and require the use of all three methods of assessing--cost, sales comparison, and income--for more equitable determinations.

Have any of your libraries had experience with residents wanting their township to contract with you and going about it by way of petition, as is stated in Library law CITY, VILLAGE, AND TOWNSHIP LIBRARIES Act 164 of 1877? We have township residents who want to petition their township board to contract with the library. The residents are not serviced by another library, but their board says the law is "too old". Instead the township board wants their residents to create a petition with a resolution on it to create funding for the library. Then once the petition is received they will place the resolution on the ballot so everyone can vote on contracting with the library at the election in November. I would be interested in talking to anyone who's library has created a contract this way. Please respond off list. -Thank you, Miriam Andrus Big Rapids Community Library 397.214 Contract with township, city, or village for use of library and reading room; procedure; tax levy; library fund. Sec. 14. (1) Upon receipt of a petition signed by not less than 10% of the electors in any township based on the highest vote cast at the last regular election for township officers of the township, addressed to the township board, requesting that a meeting be called of the electors in the township, to consider making a contract with any township, city, or village supporting and maintaining a free public circulating library and reading room under this act, or under any special act, for the use of its privileges by the residents of the township, the township board shall call a meeting of the electors of the township by posting notices in at least 5 public places within the township not less than 10 days before the meeting. The electors present at the meeting shall determine whether the township shall enter into a contract for the use of a free public circulating library and reading room in any township, city, or village and the rate of taxation to be levied for the purpose of paying for that use if the electors decide to enter into such a contract. However, a tax so levied shall not exceed 1 mill of the state equalized valuation of the township. If a majority of those present and voting are in favor of the township contracting for the use of a free public circulating 276 library and reading room maintained in any township, city, or village, the township board may enter into a contract and shall levy and collect the tax provided for in this subsection, which tax when collected shall be placed in a fund to be known as the "library fund". The money in the library fund shall be paid over by the township treasurer to the treasurer of the township, city, or village in which the library is located, on the first day of January, February, and March of each year, to be disbursed subject to the provisions of section 5. This subsection is not a limitation on the contractual power of a legislative body of a city, village, or township under section 13. (2) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in a township, city, or village charter, the library board of directors of a township, city, or village supporting and maintaining a free public circulating library and reading room under this act, or under any special act, may enter into a contract with another township, city, or village to permit the residents of that other township, city, or village the full use of the library and reading room, upon terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the library board of directors and the legislative body of the other township, city, or village. A contract entered into pursuant to this subsection shall be executed for a term of 3 years, shall be automatically extended for an indefinite term after the initial 3-year period, and shall be terminable by either party only on the giving of 6 months' notice of the intent to terminate the contract.

The Houghton Lake Public Library has been selected by the University of Michigan to be one of only nine sites in the State of Michigan to host an exciting continuing education opportunity for you, your staff, and your community. The workshop, "Making as Learning: A Three Day Workshop," will be on Wednesday June 15 through Friday June 17 from 9:30am ? 4:30pm. You can come the whole three days or register for one! Looking to add open-ended, hands-on learning to the youth in your school, library, community center, troop, or civic group? The maker movement offers youth the opportunity to explore the intersection of STEM, technology, design, aesthetics, creativity, and prototyping. In this workshop, you?ll become immersed in exploring the facets of the maker movement. Over the course of three days, you will meet fellow maker mentors, examine multiple possible entry points for developing or refining your maker program, identify pathways for discovering maker and community needs, design and explore possible programming ideas for formal and informal learning, and grapple with how to mesh together open-endedness assessing them fairly, You?ll engage in a variety of hands-on activities, from creating with recycled materials to 3D printing and modeling, robots to LED bulbs, so you can test out multiple materials and tools to see which fit your community best. You?ll come away with concrete ideas you can use to build or enhance making for the youth in your community. Unique to this location will be a drone demonstration, a discussion of maker kits available through the Mid-Michigan Library League, and a discussion of Houghton Lake?s Minecraft/Perler club. Registration is free! Flier is attached. Visit makinglibraries.si.umich.edu/road-trip to learn more and snag your spot. Choose the site closest to home or take a summer road trip with your colleagues! And please help us spread the word among your K-12 community, local troop leaders, public librarians, Boys and Girls Club facilitators, and more -- the more folks we involve from throughout our communities, the more impactful our collective maker work can be.

Message-ID: CSLP, the Collaborative Summer Library Program, held their Annual Meeting last week in Salt Lake City, UT. For those who do not know the CSLP is a consortium of states, founded in 1987, that work together to "provide a unified summer reading theme along with professional art and evidence-based materials so that member libraries can provide high-quality summer reading programs at the lowest possible cost and to play a significant role in literacy initiatives." It's a 3-day meeting where a lot of discussion, brainstorming and planning is done for summer reading clubs across the country. The manuals (now on CD) your library receives every year for planning summer reading are worked on years ahead of time! In fact, "Build a Better World" manuals are in their final stages for the summer of 2017. Some of the big decisions made last week are the following: Summer Reading 2017: the slogan is "Build A Better World" * Early Lit/Youth Illustrator is: David Maculay (attached) * Teen Illustrator is: Scott Sosebee (attached) * Adult Illustrator is: Larry Jones (attached) Overall, the Annual Meeting Attendees loved the art work and found it to be diverse and interchangeable, depending if your location is going more towards the "building/construction" theme or perhaps a broader, more "improving the community" oriented theme. Summer Reading 2018: the theme is Music, the slogan for all-ages is "Libraries Rock!" o A list of potential illustrators were narrowed down to a top 10 of who to approach for posters & clip art, including Frank Morrison, Brian Pinkney and Yuyi Morales. o Chapter themes were brainstormed - I'll be putting out a survey in the somewhat-near future for your topics/ideas. Summer Reading 2019: the theme is Space. (Slogan will be voted on in 2017) o It will be the 50th anniversary of Walking on the Moon. o Washington DC Public Library has a relationship with NASA and we're going to work on expanding that for libraries across the country. Please let me know if you have any questions & keep an eye on your email for future surveys regarding CSLP. Also, we have a few extra CDs with a 30 second PSA & 4 messages from Kate DiCamillo for Summer Reading this year - message me off-list if you need a copy on CD. Otherwise, they are available for download to all at www.cslpreads.org. You can also stay tuned for more on the Library of Michigan's Summer Reading Program page.

We currently use a SenSource Wireless counter that utilizes a break-beam to count, which is not highly accurate. (http://www.sensourceinc.com/PC-TB12N.htm) When I researched counters in 2015 I found that overhead thermal counters are considered more accurate. They require a hard-wire connection and are more expensive. (http://www.trafsys.com/people-counting/). The quote I received from Sensource for Thermal Imaging Sensors were $1800 for 1, $3200 for 2, or $6300 for 4. I am hoping to upgrade in the next year or two. For now we are still using the break-beam counter. Fyi, I received emails from people who use raspberry pis, hand hold counters, and hash marks on paper. So there is quite a variety in technology, price and accuracy. Interesting but probably not highly accurate http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-a-People-Counter-with-Raspberry-Pi-an/ Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

They count both ingress and egress, so we divide by 2 to get a truer number. Since they are on our "regular" width doors, it's pretty rare that more than one person goes in at a time, unless it's an adult carrying a child. We decided to go low tech with ones that we record the count monthly and reset them manually. There are higher end ones that will wifi counts to you, but we didn't want to spend that many bucks at this time.

We currently use a SenSource Wireless counter that utilizes a break-beam to count, which is not highly accurate. (http://www.sensourceinc.com/PC-TB12N.htm) When I researched counters in 2015 I found that overhead thermal counters are considered more accurate. They require a hard-wire connection and are more expensive. (http://www.trafsys.com/people-counting/). The quote I received from Sensource for Thermal Imaging Sensors were $1800 for 1, $3200 for 2, or $6300 for 4. I am hoping to upgrade in the next year or two. For now we are still using the break-beam counter. Fyi, I received emails from people who? use raspberry pis, hand hold counters, and hash marks on paper. So there is quite a variety in technology, price and accuracy. Interesting but probably not highly accurate http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-a-People-Counter-with-Raspberry-Pi-an/ Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

We went through three different units in the 9 years I was there, largely due to malfunctioning. There would be many days where we did not get a count at all, or the counter stopped working, perhaps, at 9 a.m. and we got no count the rest of the day until we were checking the numbers that night and saw, "Hmm, we only had 12 people in here today?" One time it broke and we shipped it to somewhere (Asia?) for repairs. We had no door counter for about 6 weeks then. Our doors to the library proper is where the counter was, so anyone just visiting the lobby for the circulation department--book returns, etc,, did not get counted. Conversely, anyone in the real library would get counted on entering, on going to the circ area, on re-entering, on going to the washroom in the lobby area, on re-entering, on going outside to make a phone call (some people were polite), on re-entering... We had some summer Saturdays when I would check the number on opening, resetting it to zero, and an hour later, knowing only two people had entered the building, would look at the counter and see, maybe, 24 showing. That was a nice number for making our reports look good, but if your goal is a useful count of people, you would be far better off to assign someone to go around and count heads every hour or so to tell you how many people are truly using the facility. We did this and used those numbers in planning staffing, etc., far more than the door counter numbers. Even if your counter only counts people going one way, there will still be numerous re-entries that keep the number highly inaccurate in terms of telling how many folks actually used your library on any given day. I truly don't think these things to be that useful.

Teresa Irish presented her ?Thousand Letters Home? program at Ida Branch Library on March 28th, 2016. As so many reviewers have already stated Teresa Irish is a highly skillful and engaging storyteller. The audience at my library was spellbound. I couldn?t believe how a group of more than 60 people could be so quiet they listened with rapt attention to Teresa. You could hear a pin drop! She is one of the most engaging speakers I?ve had the pleasure of hosting at my library and hearing for myself. Teresa has a beautiful singing voice and serenaded us a cappella with war era songs from Waltz Time and Hit Parade. So many from the audience sang along too! I found her story to be both informative and uplifting. She recognizes and honors attendees who are serving or have served in the American armed forces. You can?t help but feel good after hearing Teresa speak! Her website describes her event far better than I am able. http://www.athousandlettershome.com ?A unique, engaging and most memorable program! In her accompanying presentation of ?The Journey of the Letters,? Teresa takes audiences on an inspirational and life-affirming journey. Her skillful, entertaining, and captivating storytelling blends humor and history to leave audiences laughing, crying, reminiscing and reflective. Teresa has been featured at over 200 venues and has appeared on ABC News, NPR, Veterans? Radio, Frontlines of Freedom, Military Author Radio, and the nationally syndicated National Defense radio show. A heartfelt tribute to America?s history, freedoms, and family values, as well as a call to citizenship in today?s world, Teresa?s presentation reaches across generations with a little something for everyone. This is for the children, grandchildren, and future descendants of all veterans. This is for all Americans?Lest we forget.? Suzanne H.

Power poles by themselves are not terribly attractive, but if you could create a design feature to enclose the power run, that might be more aesthetically acceptable. Then, if your flooring would accommodate some slight cutting and patching, you might identify a central location where you could bring power from overhead and then do some limited distribution from that point to other desks. Reconfiguration of the space might be a way to extend power along the backs or undersides of furniture and storage units, but that may put unwanted barriers in the layout of the space. This is the kind of creative problem solving that an architect could be helpful with, even if it is a minor project like this. But a specific solution would depend on the particular conditions of your space, and your needs and schedule and budget.

The list price is not what we paid ? but it covers the cost of processing it. If it is something I still want and I know it is readily available much cheaper than what we paid before ? I am sometimes reluctantly willing to allow them to replace it and not pay list price? but we do the ordering so that I know I am getting the right edition and format ? and I still charge them a $5 processing fee.

Today a permanent injunction was signed by a federal judge in U.S. District Court. This means the section of PA 269/SB 571 prohibiting voter education in not enforceable. The bill, in effect, had banned the dissemination of factual information 60 days prior to a millage election. Immediately after the bill was passed, MLA joined a coalition of associations and groups opposed to the bill and filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the act. A federal judge issued a temporary injunction declaring the section in question was an infringement of constitutional rights. Thousands of library supporters from Michigan and across the country came out in support of free speech and the library's right to provide access to information. After a robust campaign for a veto of the bill, the governor signed it into law. MLA continued to work with legislators to amend the bill and MLA Board of Directors approved participation in the lawsuit as well as an amicus brief to defend our first amendment rights. Thanks to all who took action to let our elected officials know they can count on librarians to ensure the flow of information and education to our communities is accurate and timely.

Teresa Irish presented her "Thousand Letters Home" program at Ida Branch Library on March 28th, 2016. As so many reviewers have already stated Teresa Irish is a highly skillful and engaging storyteller. The audience at my library was spellbound. I couldn't believe how a group of more than 60 people could be so quiet they listened with rapt attention to Teresa. You could hear a pin drop! She is one of the most engaging speakers I've had the pleasure of hosting at my library and hearing for myself. Teresa has a beautiful singing voice and serenaded us a cappella with war era songs from Waltz Time and Hit Parade. So many from the audience sang along too! I found her story to be both informative and uplifting. She recognizes and honors attendees who are serving or have served in the American armed forces. You can't help but feel good after hearing Teresa speak! Her website describes her event far better than I am able. http://www.athousandlettershome.com "A unique, engaging and most memorable program! In her accompanying presentation of "The Journey of the Letters," Teresa takes audiences on an inspirational and life-affirming journey. Her skillful, entertaining, and captivating storytelling blends humor and history to leave audiences laughing, crying, reminiscing and reflective. Teresa has been featured at over 200 venues and has appeared on ABC News, NPR, Veterans' Radio, Frontlines of Freedom, Military Author Radio, and the nationally syndicated National Defense radio show. A heartfelt tribute to America's history, freedoms, and family values, as well as a call to citizenship in today's world, Teresa's presentation reaches across generations with a little something for everyone.

The MI Harwood Cohort is doubling its capacity. Message-ID: The Library of Michigan and MCLS are pleased to announce a second round to our 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 . It will be robust, extensive, and is being offered at no charge to selected Michigan libraries, with generous stipends provided through Library of Michigan LSTA funding. The program On October 5-6, 2016, a cohort of up to 50 Michigan library staff will convene in Lansing, Michigan for a 1.5 day workshop led by two certified Harwood Institute coaches. That training will be followed up by nine months of coaching calls from Harwood, and guidance and support from Harwood trained Library of Michigan and MCLS staff. The Harwood Public Innovators Workshop is a 1.5 day experience to help you and your organization learn what it means to turn outward - to use the community, not your conference room, as your reference point for choices and action. Although free of charge to participate, this program will be rigorous. With support and guidance from MCLS and the Library of Michigan, cohort members are expected to develop action plans, implement those plans, and demonstrate how their efforts are making a change in their communities. Only those who can commit the time and energy are encouraged to participate. The Library of Michigan and MCLS have been using the tools of the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are excited to be able to support training for a cohort of Michigan library staff. Eligibility * Applicants must be an employee or trustee of a Michigan library. * Applicants may be from any type of library; academic, public, school, institutional or special. * A maximum of 2 persons per library will be awarded scholarships. * It is strongly encouraged that applications include two persons. Applications including two persons will be ranked higher based on our criteria. * Collaborative applications with individuals from different libraries in geographic proximity are welcomed, and will receive the same ranking as two individuals from the same library. o Libraries that have already sent staff to Harwood training and are looking for additional training would also have equal consideration. 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 October 4 and 5) and travel expenses. The stipends will be on a sliding scale depending on the distance of travel from Lansing, MI: * 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. It is encouraged to carpool to conserve resources. * Zone 2 (100-250 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $545 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second. It is encouraged to carpool to conserve resources. * 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. It is encouraged to carpool to conserve resources. * 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 and lodging are included. Dinner on Wednesday October 5, will be a dine-around. That meal is factored into the travel stipend. The workshop will be held at Lansing Community College - West Campus. Lodging will be at a nearby hotel. There will be a pre-workshop dinner held in Lansing on Tuesday evening October 4, 2016. Timetable - Deadlines * Applications must be submitted by 5pm (Eastern) July 14, 2016. * Notification to recipients will be on or before August 5, 2016.
