All,

As we look forward to Opening Day (not THAT one, THIS one) http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160222&content_id=165127554&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t512&sid=t512 I thought I'd provide an update as to where we are with the Michigan Activity Pass program. 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.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Unfortunately, no April Fools Day regarding this, either. The below announcement was added to the PBD website today:

"Welcome to Partners Book Distributing, Inc.

After over 30 years of business, Partners Book Distributing and Partners/West will be closing their doors. As much as we love what we do, the numbers are no longer working. Shipping of orders will end as of the close of business on April 1, 2016. We would like to thank all of the customers we have had over the years for keeping us going this long."

Subject: [Michlib-l] PBS' POV's new season of documentaries available now to
	libraries
Message-ID: <BN3PR09MB04027A5E318366053B6F1558BB9A0@BN3PR09MB0402.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

There is a new season of films on PBS and they are now available for free library screenings prior to their PBS debut.

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<http://www.pbs.org/pov/outreach/amdoc/events/register.php>. 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<http://pov-tc.pbs.org/pov/downloads/2016/pov-season29-cee-partner-pipeline.pdf> 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<http://www.pbs.org/pov/blog/povdocs/2016/03/povs-29th-season-of-films-available-for-sneak-preview-screenings/>.

The POV Community Engagement and Education team can be reached by email at events at pov.org<mailto:events at pov.org> or by phone at 212-989-8121 ext. 318<tel:212-989-8121%20ext.%20318>.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Do any libraries pop popcorn for their programs?
Message-ID: <9D4636C38BF2C243875689F97E8D118A0CE83BBB@EXCHANGE2.pdl.local>

Are there any other libraries that own a popcorn popper for programs?

My library is interested in purchasing a popcorn machine so we can pop and serve fresh popcorn at some of our community programs. Before we made the purchase, we wanted to find out if there were any food safety health code regulations we need to be aware of.

Is there a special license or permit we'd need to obtain? If so, what is the cost/process? What would be within regulation to pop and serve popcorn? Only library staff would be handling the machine, making, serving the popcorn, and cleaning after use.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Subject: [Michlib-l] Introducing KDL Reads!
Message-ID: <6c11d1594e094a849740bad1a1265ce4@PVSC-EXMBX1.kdl.net>

Kent District Library is proud to present KDL Reads, a community reading event centered on the book Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. 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!

KDL Reads: Kick-Off Event Featuring Vox Vidorra
Join us as we kick-off KDL Reads with a free concert featuring Vox Vidorra, live poetry by Dimonique Boyd, Deonte Osayande and Justin Rogers, door prizes and refreshments.

KDL Reads: Windows and Mirrors: Diversity in Children's Literature

There will be a book sale and signing following his presentation.
Tuesday, April 26, 2016
6:30pm to 8:00pm
                Wyoming Branch (3350 Michael Ave. SW, Wyoming)

KDL Reads: An Evening with Jacqueline Woodson
KDL is honored to welcome award winning author Jacqueline Woodson to help us wrap-up KDL Reads, our community reading program centered on her book Brown Girl Dreaming. Please join us at Comstock Park High School (150 Six Mile Rd. NE, Comstock Park) to hear this wonderful speaker read from her powerful coming-of-age memoir and hear her discuss how she found her voice to tell her story through beautifully rendered poems steeped in memory and rich with family ties.

Thursday, May 26, 2016
6:30pm to 8:00pm

Hello Everyone,

My cousin, who lives in Ferndale, MI and is bit of a computer genius, is interested in volunteering at local libraries to help with or lead computer coding programs. Has anyone in Michigan done these type of programs? If so, can you share some info on your format and successes/challenges? And, if you are in the Metro Detroit area, are you looking for a coding program volunteer?

Have a wonderful day,

We are very happy to have New York Times bestselling author Steve Hamilton joining us for our first Warren Public Library Book and Author Luncheon!

Mr. Hamilton will be discussing his latest novel, The Second Life of Nick Mason<http://sbrb.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/wcv/search/results/?ln=en_US&q=second+life+of+nick+mason&rw=0>. 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<http://www.signature-reads.com/2015/08/steve-hamilton-second-life-of-nick-mason-hollywood/> and has received rave reviews, including:

  *   [Second.Life.Nick.Mason.Hamilton] <http://sbrb.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/wcv/search/results/?ln=en_US&q=second+life+of+nick+mason&rw=0> "Hamilton surpasses himself with Mason, who inspires storytelling of the leanest, most gripping sort"- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)<https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/steve-hamilton/second-life-of-nick-mason/>
  *   "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)<http://www.booklistonline.com/The-Second-Life-of-Nick-Mason-Steve-Hamilton/pid=7954438>
  *   "Hamilton guns it...for a fast and furious ride" - Publisher's Weekly (starred review)<http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-399-57432-0>
  *   "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<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ukrainian+Cultural+Center/@42.488278,-83.0695733,17z/data=%214m7%211m4%213m3%211s0x8824d0101ee05e71:0x41461f4eadaede01%212s26601+Ryan+Rd,+Warren,+MI+48091%213b1%213m1%211s0x8824d0101ee05e71:0xfca65d548ef56b05>.

 Additional Funding to Expand Scope

E-MAIL: ksulecki at chelseadistrictlibrary.org


*April 5, 2016 | Chelsea, MI | *Chelsea District Library (CDL) is pleased
to announce the receipt of an additional grant for the World War I
Commemorative Centennial Project *Strong Foundations New Possibilities. *This
project, which commemorates the WWI centennial through Chelsea residents?
photographs, letters, stories, and artifacts, will culminate with an
installation of banners on buildings throughout downtown Chelsea. 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.



About Us: Chelsea District Library is nonprofit organization whose mission
is to provide equal access to quality resources that serve the lifelong
cultural, educational and informational needs and interests of all people.
The Library currently serves 14,000 residents in the Chelsea district ?
City of Chelsea plus Dexter, Lima, Lyndon and Sylvan townships and more
than 20,000 individuals visit the Library each month.  For more information

Hi all,

Since March 2004, when the U.S. Senate passed Resolution 316 officially recognizing April as National Financial Literacy Month, organizations including libraries have provided resources and training for youth and adults. ALA's Money Smart Week(r)<http://www.ala.org/offices/money-smart-week> initiative in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank (Chicago) offers many ideas and tools for bringing sound financial information to the public.  MeL databases<http://mel.org/databases> can help too.  All of the following MeL databases contain information on investment, personal finances, real-life math, taxation, savings, banking, and related topics:  eBook Collection<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=EBOOK>, Gale Virtual Reference Library<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=GVRL>, Research in Context<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=MSIC>, Britannica School<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-brit.php?database=BRSCHOOL>, and Gale Legal Forms<http://galesupport.com/legalforms_branding/splashPage.php?loc=lom_accessmich>.  April 23-30, 2016 is designated ALA's Money Smart Week(r)<http://www.ala.org/offices/money-smart-week>. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

Hello!
The Holocaust Memorial Center in West Bloomfield has approximately 12
crates of Holocaust Memorabilia that showcase as an exhibit. We were
asked here at Brandon if we could house such items, but sadly we do
not have the space to hold such a collection. If your library or an
organization you know of would like to have these items, they are up
for grabs. Otherwise they will be disposed of if not claimed.?
The crates contain photos, plaques, and signs dedicated to the exhibit
(see attached pictures).?
Please contact me off list if your organization would be interested in
these items. The Holocaust Memorial Center has asked that whomever
wishes to claim these items also picks them up.?
Thank you for your time!?
?
Always,

Reminder to all library folks out there - you are invited to attend Library Camp: An Unconference next week! 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!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Preserving Family History

Wednesday, April 13 at 6:30-7:30 p.m.

We look around the cemetery and wonder who lies beneath the gravestones with our surname. 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.

Subject: [Michlib-l] short discounts with Michigan contract
Message-ID: <003701d191ca$bd741de0$385c59a0$@otsego.org>

Has anyone who uses Ingram as their primary vendor noticed that they are
receiving only a 10% discount on titles from major publishers?  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.

Hello, I just wanted to share the name of a great presenter if you are looking for an adult program.  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.   From comments made, our patrons thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.    Her website: www.athousandletters.com

Special Library Presentation: 101 Things that Happened on the Mackinac 
Bridge

Mark your calendars forApril 13^th at 6:30 pm and enjoy /101 Things that 
Happened on the Mackinac Bridge /presented by Mike Fornes through the 
support of the Special Collections Department at the George N. 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/.

Hello, I just wanted to share the name of a great presenter if you are looking for an adult program.  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.   >From comments made, our patrons thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.    Her website: www.athousandletters.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Preserving Family History

Wednesday, April 13 at 6:30-7:30 p.m.

We look around the cemetery and wonder who lies beneath the
gravestones with our surname. 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.

Has anyone who uses Ingram as their primary vendor noticed that they
are receiving only a 10% discount on titles from major publishers?
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.

Special Library Presentation: 101 Things that Happened on the Mackinac
Bridge

Mark your calendars forApril 13^th at 6:30 pm and enjoy /101 Things
that Happened on the Mackinac Bridge /presented by Mike Fornes through
the support of the Special Collections Department at the George N.
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/.

Hello, I just wanted to share the name of a great presenter if you are
looking for an adult program.  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.   >From comments made, our patrons thoroughly enjoyed the
presentation.    Her website: www.athousandletters.com

Subject: [Michlib-l] Publisher partners with libraries for Money Smart Week
	promotion
Message-ID: <BN3PR09MB04026EE2E90950226AA48EAFBB920@BN3PR09MB0402.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Money Smart Week is April 23-30. 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<http://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."

I agree. She and her story connects with the community.

If you haven't hosted her yet, you should seriously consider it.

[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:

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.
Thanks,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Paper circuits Copper tape purchase question
Message-ID: <CANQvbm9b7qhRpQ-B8v=1vpVrag-FzL=kDeF-7b9oe99gOJEbEg@mail.gmail.com>

Would anyone out there who has done a paper circuits program with
adhesive copper tape be willing to share where you found the tape at a
decent price?  Need it for about 300-500 person event.  I'm seeing some for
$2.95 a roll (1/4 in width, 50 feet) but it doesn't have conductive
adhesive and is pretty thin (.08 mm thick) and am wondering if it will work
well enough to light up a 5mm led powered by a cr2032 coin cell battery?  I
can't afford the over $10-20 dollars a roll I'm seeing on other sites.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <d8481a1898d5469e98ebb59271bdb877@EXCHMBX01.MAIN.fh.farmlib.org>

Out of curiosity, has anyone thought about where they will place the new Harry Potter book in their collections? It seems like it may be *intended* to be a part of the series but was written in a different format (it's a play) and possibly for a different audience (some vendors list it as juvenile and some as adult). So where will the book ultimately live in your library?


*         Fiction or Nonfiction?

*         Teen or Adult?

*         Forget it! We're putting it with the rest of the series!

Each library will have a different take on this, I was just wondering what the general feeling was.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I plan to put it in J Fiction - Baker & Taylor lists it as fiction and it
looks like the book version is a "Special Edition" format of the play.

All,

As some of you may know, my family's origins are in the Upper Peninsula (Finland prior, but that's another story). 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.

Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Hello Michigan libraries!

I have become interested in Geocaching and wanted to ask if any 
libraries had any experience in setting up geocache sites and/or 
creating events around them. I thought it would be a great fit for this 
year's summer reading theme and would love any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Kelanine, the site I found to do this project which looks like a lot of fun
is http://tinkering.exploratorium.edu/paper-circuits. It suggested
sparkfun.com to purchase the tape. sparkfun.com
<http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10561> (part # PRT-10561).  It is 5mm and
50ft with a thickness of 3 MIL . The price is also $2.95 a roll but the
price goes down the more you order.

Hope this helps!

Message-ID: <809307449.1899464.1460482528587.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com>

I would like recommendations for durable folding tables for our community room.? Specifically 8' in length with the resin/plastic top and height adjustable. I have bought from various places but we are finding they break down at the frame.? Maybe that is normal with the use they get from people putting them up and taking them down, or is there some that are more durable than others?? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.? Cost is also a factor of course.? I find many tables that are reasonably priced but not adjustable and we really need the adjustable ones because we use them for story hour.

Message-ID: <CABAEK208h4KXbHEmaOzt8CWBNZWBVHtvycfcvbxLJp8vdoUCsQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

We currently require parents to sign a permission slip for children under
17 to use our computers. 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?

Thanks in advance!

Message-ID: <CAObQ2t9EL4gTWETGUxCwZo2oR1mnLRRnbdZcmACmk_STk3kEMQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Colleagues,



You have already received information about the series of events
<https://sites.google.com/a/lakeviewspartans.org/holocaust-remembrance/>
taking place in Battle Creek, Michigan in observance of Holocaust
Remembrance 2016.



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!

Hi Everyone!

Our library has been experiencing several computer problems lately (virus protection popups, patrons log on to find a blank screen they cannot get past, printer issues that are "solved" only to not work again the next day,  and so on). Our library board and I wanted to reach out and see what kind of systems and procedures other libraries use to keep their computers running smoothly. The library is a client of our county's IT department, so we do have access to people who can help us solve these problems, but it seems that I am contacting them on an almost-daily basis with either a new or repeating issue. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Hello!

I have  a question on behalf of my town's school librarian. Currently, they are running a very old version of Follett Destiny and they want to update to a more current version. However, she is concerned that they would be better off trying a new system. She asked me to reach out and see if anyone has had success with a different product of if you recommend remaining with Destiny. I have never worked in a school library before, so I am unaware of the unique needs they have regarding their management software as opposed to those of a public library. Any advice I could pass on to her would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello, fellow Michigan librarians!

We are delighted to announce that registration is open for our one- and
three-day maker professional development workshops around the state this
summer. From May through late August, we'll be on the road, from Benton
Harbor to Benzonia, Ann Arbor to Alpena, and both ends of the Upper
Peninsula.

Registration is free!

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.

Best,
Kristin & the Making in Michigan Libraries team

Good afternoon,

KPL currently utilizes FireSign to manage our digital signage needs. Anode, the company that created FireSign is dropping this service in October. I am looking for a replacement company that can do two things specifically:


1.      Pull our events from our Evanced calendar

2.      Provide me a way to manage all of our digital players, at all of our locations, on one, online-based platform

If anyone is using a service you like for your digital signage, can you share with me the company name please?

Subject: [alacro-l] Virtual Library Legislative Day


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 ask everyone in your circles -- members, followers, patrons, fellow library staffers, and listservs -- to join us! Once they register<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rFgFBSNzL3l2vL40lq1UragqzUkxZN18G1MY0hDdt-4/viewform> 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<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzUCAywi1eQDSW9laWJkNUlSSDZaY3oxM013X3hSTjJMZlhj/view> 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<http://www.ala.org/united/advocacy/virtuallegday> and the Harry Potter Alliance<http://www.thehpalliance.org/national_library_legislative_day> webpages, or by subscribing to the Action Center<http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fcqrcengage.com%2Fala%2Fhome&t=NDMwOTFhZGJiZTVlMGVkYmM5ZDllMjYzZWZlZTg0YTYwN2NjOWU3OSxUN0x5QkxRaw%3D%3D>.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Go West, Young MAP
In-Reply-To: <1285624667.10379939.1460722746155.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>
Message-ID: <658663386.10384126.1460724760916.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>

All,

The subject line is a slightly modified version of a quote that is generally attributed to Horace Greeley. 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.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

All,

MAP received additional good exposure in the form of the article that ran in yesterday's edition of the Detroit Free Press. Please feel free to share it with your library patrons, staff, board members, local government officials and media outlets and of course, family and friends, too. The article is also a tool you can use to help recruit prospective new MAP partners.

Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Helping Libraries of All Shapes and Sizes

Project Outcome is dedicated to helping libraries of all shapes and sizes learn to measure outcomes and take action using the results. Project Outcome is partnering with TechSoup for Libraries<http://www.techsoupforlibraries.org/> to present the upcoming webinar Measuring Program Outcomes: A Toolkit for Small Libraries<https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=6fbynndqqaey>, Wednesday, May 4, 2016, 1-2:00 PM CDT, specifically aimed toward small and rural libraries interested in getting started with outcome measurement. Project Outcome recently upgraded the survey portal to better serve larger library systems. All libraries can now easily customize their survey titles in order to keep track of multiple surveys across multiple branches simultaneously.

More Project Outcome additions are coming in 2016, including new follow-up surveys to capture patron-reported changes and guidelines for advanced outcome measurement! Want to learn more about Project Outcome? Register for free at www.projectoutcome.org!

This webinar will be recorded and archived on the TechSoup for Libraries website<http://www.techsoupforlibraries.org/events/archive>. Please register for this webinar to receive an email notification when the archive is available.

Message-ID: <001f01d1997d$7c8f8fc0$75aeaf40$@gossagesager.com>

Charleston  County Public Library System seeks innovative, new Executive
Director

 

The Charleston County Public Library System <http://www.ccpl.org/>  seeks an
Executive Director to blend the area's historical connections to learning
with an innovative, collaborative vision that focuses on excellence and
growing opportunities for lifelong learning.  The CCPL offers rewarding and
exciting career challenges for the successful candidate thanks to a building
and renovation program
<http://www.pressomatic.com/ccpl/upload/Postcard%209-16-14%201sheet.pdf>
funded through the 2014 approval of a $108.5 million bond referendum by
three quarters of County voters.  The new library leader will expand and
improve the system's superb services, outstanding programs and exceptional
customer experiences.

 

The new Executive Director will work with the Board, staff and County
officials to build five libraries -- two new buildings and three replacement
facilities -- as well as an administrative center and renovations at 13
existing locations.  The Executive Director will lead the System's
continuing efforts to grow virtual services, overhaul technologies, create
innovative content and build sustainable partnerships with businesses and
community organizations.  Currently, CCPL's 16 locations serve more than
389,000 county residents.  It has an annual budget of $16 million through a
county appropriation, a staff of 221 FTEs and a dynamic Friends of the
Library organization.  The board is also exploring development of a library
foundation.

 

Founded in 1620, Charleston's commitment to fostering literacy and

Greetings everyone,

This is just a periodic reminder that a goodly number of Michlib-l subscribers will not see attachments to messages sent to the list. For those on digest (people who receive one message a day), all attachments are "scrubbed" or removed. They are also not available in the archives. The best way to reach everyone on the list is to copy and paste material into the body of your message or to post the material to your website and provide a link. For your information, the total number of Michlib-l subscribers on the regular/non-digest version is 2039 and there are 621 people on the digest version.

Have a great week,

We have it. 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.

Does anyone have The Empty Schoolhouse by Natalie Savage Carlson in their junior fiction collection? It uses racist language and we wondered if anyone out there saw a reason for keeping it in their collection.

Do any of you have a procedure in place for when someone enters the library
with a gun -(in a non-threatening way, of course!) ?

I've been told quite a few years ago to call 911 and have the police come
to check permits and such.  This certainly doesn't sound like the best,
least inflammatory way to handle it, but I don't know of something better.

What do you think?

We had our first open carry a few weeks ago. We have local law enforcement numbers at the desk. Our Chief of Police asked to be called even though it might be a non threatening case. Told us to call 911 only if the subject is combative and or brandishing the weapon. Once the weapon is unholstered you should call 911. Hope this helps.

Perri Saunders,
No doubt there will be those who disagree, but our staff
has been instructed to call the police (in our case "dispatch"
as opposed to 911), describe the situation and then ask that
an officer stop by to check out the person. 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.

Colleagues,
 Some of you have seen Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words and have hosted him at your library. 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.

Perri Saunders,
No doubt there will be those who disagree, but our staff has been instructed to call the police (in our case "dispatch"
as opposed to 911), describe the situation and then ask that an officer stop by to check out the person. 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.
Sincerely,
Don

Do any of you have a procedure in place for when someone enters the library with a gun -(in a non-threatening way, of course!) ?

I've been told quite a few years ago to call 911 and have the police come to check permits and such.  This certainly doesn't sound like the best, least inflammatory way to handle it, but I don't know of something better.

What do you think?

Manchester District Library reflects White Lake's policy as well.  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.

We just reduced our checkout limit down from 30 to 12. We just started with
hoopla October 2015. We left it open so we could get better statistics on
how well the service would be used. After our experiment we found we needed
to cap it off because of its popularity and ease of use.

I just came back from PLA and the Denver Public Library gave a presentation and noted that they do lesson plans and handouts for a large number of computer classes. I checked and this is a wonderful resource that Denver is happy to share with other libraries. Go to https://www.denverlibrary.org/ctc-classes and click on the class you'd like to use. There should be links for a variety of handouts and plans. 


We do two sessions of computer basics - 90 minutes each. There is no charge and classes are open to the general public. I hope this helps!

Hi Diane -

Below are some good places to start with resources you can adapt for your own community as you start to offer computer basics for your patrons.


*         WebJunction provides several links to resources and webinars from other libraries and organizations so you don't have to reinvent the wheel - http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/computer-internet-basics.html


*         DigitalLearn.og has courses users can do online as well as resources for trainers.  www.digitallearn.org<http://www.digitallearn.org>


*         Denver Public Library has a lot of tech class resources posted online and invite others to use or tweak them as well - https://www.denverlibrary.org/ctc-classes


*         Digital Literacy Teaching Tools - find links to tools/ tutorials on a wide variety of topics. http://www.digitalliteracy.gov/content/educator. This site is for all educators who teach all levels.



*         Tech Training for the Public from the Colorado Virtual Library has materials, lesson plans, outlines, handouts and more you can use - http://create.coloradovirtuallibrary.org/tech-training-public/

I also can't say enough about GCFlearnfree.org. Not only do they cover a
lot of the topics we used to cover in classes, they also touch on things we
don't-like smart phones and ipads.

Charleston  County Public Library System seeks innovative, new Executive Director

The Charleston County Public Library System<http://www.ccpl.org/> seeks an Executive Director to blend the area's historical connections to learning with an innovative, collaborative vision that focuses on excellence and growing opportunities for lifelong learning.  The CCPL offers rewarding and exciting career challenges for the successful candidate thanks to a building and renovation program<http://www.pressomatic.com/ccpl/upload/Postcard%209-16-14%201sheet.pdf> funded through the 2014 approval of a $108.5 million bond referendum by three quarters of County voters.  The new library leader will expand and improve the system's superb services, outstanding programs and exceptional customer experiences.

The new Executive Director will work with the Board, staff and County officials to build five libraries -- two new buildings and three replacement facilities -- as well as an administrative center and renovations at 13 existing locations.  The Executive Director will lead the System's continuing efforts to grow virtual services, overhaul technologies, create innovative content and build sustainable partnerships with businesses and community organizations.  Currently, CCPL's 16 locations serve more than 389,000 county residents.  It has an annual budget of $16 million through a county appropriation, a staff of 221 FTEs and a dynamic Friends of the Library organization.  The board is also exploring development of a library foundation.

Founded in 1620, Charleston's commitment to fostering literacy and literature dates back to the colony of South Carolina's first lending library in 1698.  While the area still has a healthy respect for heritage and tradition, the Charleston community is growing in diverse ways thanks to a high quality of life recognized by residents and visitors, who make Charleston one of the world's top destinations.  Charleston offers something for everyone. It has charming, preserved neighborhoods with historic forts, homes and churches as well as world-class art galleries, inviting beaches, world-famous golf courses, award-winning restaurants and a plethora of fun activities that draw thousands of new residents and visitors annually.  The community also offers high-quality health care, an involved business community and solid educational opportunities that make it a great place to live, work and play.  For more information on Charleston County, the Library and the region, please visit Charleston links<http://www.gossagesager.com/charlestonlinks.htm>.

Responsibilities.  Planning and directing all phases of library operations - financial, personnel, facilities and business for the library system; advising and guiding division heads on successes and solutions; working closely with the Library board, Charleston County administrator, and elected county and municipal officials; understanding and contributing to Charleston's community, culture, lifestyles and interests focusing on active civic engagement; promoting best practices, library services and programs consistent with community expectations; understanding and supporting innovative library technologies; experience working with capital projects; and proven experience mentoring and developing staff. For the complete position description, see Charleston Library Executive Director.<http://www.gossagesager.com/charlestonjobdesc.pdf>

Qualifications. Minimum requirements include an MLS from an ALA-accredited program and five years of library experience in increasingly responsible library positions, or an equivalent background and experience to enable the candidate to perform the work required effectively.  The ideal candidate will have: excellent administrative, financial planning, communication and personnel management skills; the ability to inspire and lead staff; the initiative and vision to develop library services; and skill in building and maintaining effective relationships with the board, staff and community leaders. Successful experience reporting to a governing board, working in a multi-branch environment, and building/renovating libraries are highly preferred.

Compensation. The starting salary range is $115,973 to $151,250 (with placement dependent on experience and qualifications) with a competitive benefits package.

	Proposals

MIX (Michigan Instruction Exchange) is looking for your proposal for a brief presentation or Lightening Talk for the MIX Conference scheduled for Friday, August 5 at Macomb Community College, Professional Development Center at Macomb University Center, Clinton Township

This year's theme is Information Literacy Skills and High School-College Transition, University/High School Outreach and Collaborations, and Common Core/Information Literacy connections. 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<mailto: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.

Good morning!

 

Just checking -does anyone have any Blu-Ray cases that they are going to
discard/have been discarding? We have started a new Blu-Ray collection and
are looking to get some Blu-Ray cases for packaging DVD/Blu-Ray combo-packs

We'd like the smaller blue cases so our patrons can tell the difference.

Let me know, thanks! Our RIDES number is zv253

Hi all,

I am looking at putting security cameras up in my library (we currently
have none) and need to get some figures to give to the Board.  I got one
quote from Secure Alarm, but would like to ask which companies you have
worked with for security cameras.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Pronunciator Languages
Message-ID: <CAENXJNnR_o0OyKyCCe_skvmSLJ3-OJx7Zoog=LPjz+8YMuZJfQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

At Chelsea we are in the process of exploring some different language
learning database options that might better meet the needs of our users. We
recently received a trial for Pronunciator and several of our staff have
spent some time exploring and so far we are pleased with the flexibility
this service allows for users to focus in on their specific needs when
learning a language.

Before we get too far into this process, I thought it might be a good idea
to reach out and see what other libraries are using Pronunciator. If you
use this service, how is it received by your patrons? Do you get a sense
that they find it beneficial and user friendly?  Also, have you experienced
any issues that I might want to know about?

Any thoughts you can share are appreciated!

Sincerely,
Keegan

Subject: [Mamelist] Take Part in Virtual Library Legislative Day!

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.

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<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAx4OSlV3WPrCLlTsi5v5gVqyJSLddmnE_NrXu68FiBe1IlD9jrhLrhmCZADueXjOVEVCEZ9UourGb_eXWDo2_ZGWze5Ka9uYH2jl9ubSwYMtoq1DWJnR9B551wdBVjcx8dQo9_TzZKCaLJVPT37xbPIcfz3Uk-2rvecaVEC6FpAQpIn9g1AdtR6AIYviZjGL0DNKIItMB-hPOPEIbDZnqNsg&lp=0> 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.

Subject: [alacro-l] Virtual Library Legislative Day


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 ask everyone in your circles -- members, followers, patrons, fellow library staffers, and listservs -- to join us! Once they register<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rFgFBSNzL3l2vL40lq1UragqzUkxZN18G1MY0hDdt-4/viewform> 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<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzUCAywi1eQDSW9laWJkNUlSSDZaY3oxM013X3hSTjJMZlhj/view> 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<http://www.ala.org/united/advocacy/virtuallegday> and the Harry Potter Alliance<http://www.thehpalliance.org/national_library_legislative_day> webpages, or by subscribing to the Action Center<http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fcqrcengage.com%2Fala%2Fhome&t=NDMwOTFhZGJiZTVlMGVkYmM5ZDllMjYzZWZlZTg0YTYwN2NjOWU3OSxUN0x5QkxRaw%3D%3D>.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Go West, Young MAP
In-Reply-To: <1285624667.10379939.1460722746155.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>
Message-ID: <658663386.10384126.1460724760916.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>

All,

The subject line is a slightly modified version of a quote that is generally attributed to Horace Greeley. 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.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Charleston  County Public Library System seeks innovative, new Executive Director

The Charleston County Public Library System<http://www.ccpl.org/> seeks an Executive Director to blend the area's historical connections to learning with an innovative, collaborative vision that focuses on excellence and growing opportunities for lifelong learning.  The CCPL offers rewarding and exciting career challenges for the successful candidate thanks to a building and renovation program<http://www.pressomatic.com/ccpl/upload/Postcard%209-16-14%201sheet.pdf> funded through the 2014 approval of a $108.5 million bond referendum by three quarters of County voters.  The new library leader will expand and improve the system's superb services, outstanding programs and exceptional customer experiences.

The new Executive Director will work with the Board, staff and County officials to build five libraries -- two new buildings and three replacement facilities -- as well as an administrative center and renovations at 13 existing locations.  The Executive Director will lead the System's continuing efforts to grow virtual services, overhaul technologies, create innovative content and build sustainable partnerships with businesses and community organizations.  Currently, CCPL's 16 locations serve more than 389,000 county residents.  It has an annual budget of $16 million through a county appropriation, a staff of 221 FTEs and a dynamic Friends of the Library organization.  The board is also exploring development of a library foundation.

Founded in 1620, Charleston's commitment to fostering literacy and literature dates back to the colony of South Carolina's first lending library in 1698.  While the area still has a healthy respect for heritage and tradition, the Charleston community is growing in diverse ways thanks to a high quality of life recognized by residents and visitors, who make Charleston one of the world's top destinations.  Charleston offers something for everyone. It has charming, preserved neighborhoods with historic forts, homes and churches as well as world-class art galleries, inviting beaches, world-famous golf courses, award-winning restaurants and a plethora of fun activities that draw thousands of new residents and visitors annually.  The community also offers high-quality health care, an involved business community and solid educational opportunities that make it a great place to live, work and play.  For more information on Charleston County, the Library and the region, please visit Charleston links<http://www.gossagesager.com/charlestonlinks.htm>.

Responsibilities.  Planning and directing all phases of library operations - financial, personnel, facilities and business for the library system; advising and guiding division heads on successes and solutions; working closely with the Library board, Charleston County administrator, and elected county and municipal officials; understanding and contributing to Charleston's community, culture, lifestyles and interests focusing on active civic engagement; promoting best practices, library services and programs consistent with community expectations; understanding and supporting innovative library technologies; experience working with capital projects; and proven experience mentoring and developing staff. For the complete position description, see Charleston Library Executive Director.<http://www.gossagesager.com/charlestonjobdesc.pdf>

Qualifications. Minimum requirements include an MLS from an ALA-accredited program and five years of library experience in increasingly responsible library positions, or an equivalent background and experience to enable the candidate to perform the work required effectively.  The ideal candidate will have: excellent administrative, financial planning, communication and personnel management skills; the ability to inspire and lead staff; the initiative and vision to develop library services; and skill in building and maintaining effective relationships with the board, staff and community leaders. Successful experience reporting to a governing board, working in a multi-branch environment, and building/renovating libraries are highly preferred.

Compensation. The starting salary range is $115,973 to $151,250 (with placement dependent on experience and qualifications) with a competitive benefits package.

Greetings everyone,

This is just a periodic reminder that a goodly number of Michlib-l subscribers will not see attachments to messages sent to the list. For those on digest (people who receive one message a day), all attachments are "scrubbed" or removed. They are also not available in the archives. The best way to reach everyone on the list is to copy and paste material into the body of your message or to post the material to your website and provide a link. For your information, the total number of Michlib-l subscribers on the regular/non-digest version is 2039 and there are 621 people on the digest version.

Have a great week,

We have it. 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.

Do any of you have a procedure in place for when someone enters the library
with a gun -(in a non-threatening way, of course!) ?

I've been told quite a few years ago to call 911 and have the police come
to check permits and such.  This certainly doesn't sound like the best,
least inflammatory way to handle it, but I don't know of something better.

What do you think?

We had our first open carry a few weeks ago. We have local law enforcement numbers at the desk. Our Chief of Police asked to be called even though it might be a non threatening case. Told us to call 911 only if the subject is combative and or brandishing the weapon. Once the weapon is unholstered you should call 911. Hope this helps.

Perri Saunders,
No doubt there will be those who disagree, but our staff
has been instructed to call the police (in our case "dispatch"
as opposed to 911), describe the situation and then ask that
an officer stop by to check out the person. 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.
Sincerely,
Don

Do any of you have a procedure in place for when someone enters the library
with a gun -(in a non-threatening way, of course!) ?

I've been told quite a few years ago to call 911 and have the police come
to check permits and such.  This certainly doesn't sound like the best,
least inflammatory way to handle it, but I don't know of something better.

What do you think?

 District Library
Message-ID: <734201985.10719005.1461092060471.JavaMail.root@northvillelibrary.org>

Colleagues,
 Some of you have seen Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words and have hosted him at your library. 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.

	Proposals

MIX (Michigan Instruction Exchange) is looking for your proposal for a brief presentation or Lightening Talk for the MIX Conference scheduled for Friday, August 5 at Macomb Community College, Professional Development Center at Macomb University Center, Clinton Township

This year's theme is Information Literacy Skills and High School-College Transition, University/High School Outreach and Collaborations, and Common Core/Information Literacy connections. 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<mailto: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.

Perri Saunders,
No doubt there will be those who disagree, but our staff has been instructed to call the police (in our case "dispatch"
as opposed to 911), describe the situation and then ask that an officer stop by to check out the person. 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.
Sincerely,
Don

Do any of you have a procedure in place for when someone enters the library with a gun -(in a non-threatening way, of course!) ?

I've been told quite a few years ago to call 911 and have the police come to check permits and such.  This certainly doesn't sound like the best, least inflammatory way to handle it, but I don't know of something better.

What do you think?

Manchester District Library reflects White Lake's policy as well.  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.

We just reduced our checkout limit down from 30 to 12. We just started with
hoopla October 2015. We left it open so we could get better statistics on
how well the service would be used. After our experiment we found we needed
to cap it off because of its popularity and ease of use.

I just came back from PLA and the Denver Public Library gave a presentation and noted that they do lesson plans and handouts for a large number of computer classes. I checked and this is a wonderful resource that Denver is happy to share with other libraries. Go to https://www.denverlibrary.org/ctc-classes and click on the class you'd like to use. There should be links for a variety of handouts and plans. 


We do two sessions of computer basics - 90 minutes each. There is no charge and classes are open to the general public. I hope this helps!

Hi Diane -

Below are some good places to start with resources you can adapt for your own community as you start to offer computer basics for your patrons.


*         WebJunction provides several links to resources and webinars from other libraries and organizations so you don't have to reinvent the wheel - http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/computer-internet-basics.html


*         DigitalLearn.og has courses users can do online as well as resources for trainers.  www.digitallearn.org<http://www.digitallearn.org>


*         Denver Public Library has a lot of tech class resources posted online and invite others to use or tweak them as well - https://www.denverlibrary.org/ctc-classes


*         Digital Literacy Teaching Tools - find links to tools/ tutorials on a wide variety of topics. http://www.digitalliteracy.gov/content/educator. This site is for all educators who teach all levels.



*         Tech Training for the Public from the Colorado Virtual Library has materials, lesson plans, outlines, handouts and more you can use - http://create.coloradovirtuallibrary.org/tech-training-public/

I also can't say enough about GCFlearnfree.org. Not only do they cover a
lot of the topics we used to cover in classes, they also touch on things we
don't-like smart phones and ipads.

Message-ID: <015b01d19b0a$da274540$8e75cfc0$@otsegolibrary.org>

Good morning!

 

Just checking -does anyone have any Blu-Ray cases that they are going to
discard/have been discarding? We have started a new Blu-Ray collection and
are looking to get some Blu-Ray cases for packaging DVD/Blu-Ray combo-packs
separately. 

We'd like the smaller blue cases so our patrons can tell the difference.

Let me know, thanks! Our RIDES number is zv253

Subject: [Michlib-l] Guns in the library
Message-ID: <8EE24ACF5C2B5945AF776E39181A00954962B676@EXCH.wb.local>

I was surprised to see that most of the respondents call dispatch rather than 911. 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

Hi all,

Participating in Earth Day activities in Lansing, I was reminded of the varied science resources available in MeL databases<http://mel.org/databases> for students of all ages.  World Book Kids<http://www.worldbookonline.com/kids/home?subacct=O6106> offers Science Project ideas for grades PreK-5. Research in Context<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=MSIC>'s science topics for grades 6-8, range from astronomy to weathering and erosion. Britannica School - High<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-brit.php?database=BRHIGH> covers science in articles, images, videos, ebooks, and primary sources. Academic OneFile<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=AONE> includes peer-reviewed articles from leading world journals and reference sources in the physical sciences useful for college level students and professionals. Look to these MeL databases for up-to-date, reliable and accurate content for student scientists of all ages. 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<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.
Registration is now open for the next LM/MCLS MeL Databases webinar, Educating Middle Schoolers. MeL Databases supports that education with a diverse array of tools to help meet those needs. Join us on April 27, at 3:30pm Eastern, for a free 30-minute webinar focused on which MeL resources provide educators the means to bolster student achievement.

Hi all,

We are responding to our students request for more electrical outlets for their devices.  The traditional wall outlets are inconvenient for how students work/study in the library.  They typically do collaborative work at the larger desks.  We are thinking about bringing outlets into those desks in the center of the library.
The problem is that we have a concrete floor and it is difficult, and monetarily prohibitive to drill into it.  So, we are looking for power sources originating from the ceiling.  We are contemplating installing poles or  pull down extension cords with multiple outlets on them.  But, we are struggling with how this would ruin the aesthetics of our building.  Does anyone have this type of ceiling drop down power source?  Or, a different power source?  Any ideas on how we could make them more pleasing to the eye?

You all are a great resource and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Grai

Hi all,


I wanted to share an antiques appraisal program we are doing at the Roseville Library this weekend.


Saturday, April 30th @ 10 AM
Join the Friends of the Library in celebrating the Library's 80th anniversary
with an antiques appraisal. Appraisers Dan & Judy Landino & Keith Zessin
will be coming to the library for this special Saturday event!

There will be a $5 charge per item appraised. Limit two items per person.
Payment will be taken on the day of the event and is cash only.

Items should be easy to carry & will be publicly appraised.

Even if you don't have items to appraise you are welcome to come, listen
and learn.


Thanks!

If you can?t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the course catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/>.



Make, Do, Share: Build a STEM Learning Community

Thursday, April 28, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour

Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/make-do-share.html



Youth in grades K-12 spend an astounding 81% of their time in informal learning environments outside of school. 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<http://www.krl.org/>, Shannon Peterson, Youth Services Manager and Seth Ciotti, BiblioTEC Program Manager



This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural & Small Libraries<http://arsl.info/>.





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<http://learningcircles.p2pu.org> 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<https://www.p2pu.org/en/facilitate/> for librarians and practitioners around the world who want to start running Learning Circles in their community.



Presented by: Grif Peterson, Learning Lead, P2PU<https://www.p2pu.org/en/>; and Kate Lapinski, Learning & Economic Advancement Librarian, Chicago Public Library<http://www.chipublib.org/>

Message-ID: <CAGptjSyzQ8Ur0qEm6O0KSvz7QcQURT9PJ3bdrRMWQ8V=he-T3w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

Apologies if this is a duplication, but I don't think that I recall
seeing any messages on the Michlib-L list.  There is at last a bill
that will attempt to address the "dark store" tax loophole, and HB
5578 will be taken up this Wednesday by the House Tax Policy
Committee.  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!

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.

Mackinac Island is a gorgeous place to explore...and cycle!

Weather-permitting, of course, I'd like to log some miles during our visit
for the Rural Libraries Conference and would love to ride with other
enthusiasts.

The cost to bring your bike on Shepler's Ferry is $10.00. Grand Hotel has
outdoor bike parking across the street behind the Pro Shop. (I'll be
checking on indoor storage options.)

Hi Library Friends,


It has been a couple years since our last website revamp (running WordPress
theme Twenty Fourteen) and I am wondering which libraries use WordPress for
their home websites and what themes you are currently running? What
features do you find most important to have on your main page? If you use
post format, has that been beneficial to use instead of one stagnant page
that you edit the content of? Has anyone tried adding bloggers who can add
content to the site? And I welcome any other feedback you have about your
WordPress site.

Thanks very much,

Erin

Subject: [Michlib-l] Township Contracts with Libraries
Message-ID: <CY1PR0701MB1711B4E2EAA7FF3B3A2CDB36B2630@CY1PR0701MB1711.namprd07.prod.outlook.com>

Question for the group...
    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

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. History: Add. 1903, Act 19, Eff. Sept. 17, 1903;--Am. 1911, Act 272, Eff. Aug. 1, 1911;--CL 1915, 3445;--CL 1929, 8073;--Am. 1931, Act 248, Eff.

There's been quite a bit of interest in meeting up to ride!

If you don't have a bike or you're not wanting to bring yours, I did call
the lovely Mackinac Island Tourism folks and a couple of vendors will be
open during our stay:

<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rybabikes.com%2F&h=gAQHzTWnA>
http://www.mackinacbikes.com/

It looks like Grand Hotel rents bikes, too, but I haven't been able to nail
down whether or not they'll be available during our stay. Their reservation
staff will be available on Thursday, April 28.

Again, if you're looking to meet up and ride, please message me off the
listserv. I'll share my contact information there.

 Staff and Community

Hello, Friends, Librarians, and Michigan Community Members! 

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.

Best,
Kristin & the Making in Michigan Libraries team

Subject: [Michlib-l] Breaking news from CSLP!
Message-ID: <BY1PR09MB03923DFA0FD9118626C446BB83630@BY1PR09MB0392.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

CSLP, the Collaborative Summer Library Program<http://www.cslpreads.org/>, 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<http://www.cslpreads.org>.  You can also stay tuned for more on the Library of Michigan's Summer Reading Program<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_34169-236191--,00.html> page.

All,

Now you can have your turkey leg, and eat it too, with the entrance of the Michigan Renaissance Festival http://www.michrenfest.com/index.html into the MAP program. 

On the other hand, if your tastes veer more towards watching birds, MAP has you covered there, too with our other new MAP partner Calvin College Ecosystem Preserve http://www.calvin.edu/academic/eco-preserve/

Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Good afternoon! If anybody is willing, we're currently looking to gather recommendations for people counters. We're mostly concerned with getting an accurate count (people don't get counted twice, people walking side-by-side get accurately counted, etc) and having a simple way to retrieve and reset the data. Thanks!

Hello Brandon,

I looked into people counters last year. 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

We started using battery operated people counters that stick to the door frame and use beam break technology at the beginning of the year. 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.

I ordered through wecountpeople.com Brand name is TotalCounter.

All,

If you purchased the Michigan Residential Code, 2015, either through TLN or via some other source, you will want to include the attached three page pdf of "Errors and Conflicts" with your bound book.

Also, a reminder that the Michigan Energy Code, 2015 is chapter 11 of the Michigan Residential Code, 2015. We chose not to order the MEC, 2015 as a separate item when we learned this was the case.

Thanks.

Jim

 Hello Brandon,

I looked into people counters last year. 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

Good afternoon! If anybody is willing, we're currently looking to gather recommendations for people counters. We're mostly concerned with getting an accurate count (people don't get counted twice, people walking side-by-side get accurately counted, etc) and having a simple way to retrieve and reset the data. Thanks!

I formerly worked at a college library where we had these devices.  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.

I'd like to highly recommend Teresa Irish's A Thousand letters Home program.

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.?

In order to be accessible for people with a broad range of ability 
limitations, overhead power cords would have to be at about light switch 
height, which would be unsightly, impractical, and probably hazardous.

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.

Regards,

Philip Proefrock, AIA

Mothers are always nursing in our library, and no one has ever complained
or taken issue with it. We even hold a breastfeeding mothers support group
in the Children's Room on a regular basis. Having a policy which
discourages mothers from being able to nurse their children seems like it
may only stir up trouble.

Hi All~

I want to thank you all for your responses.  The general consensus is that since there is a law in place, there is no need for a policy.  I want to make it clear though, it was never my intention to discourage nursing mothers or violate their rights in any way.  

I hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Message-ID: <CALAGPu5GLV+MBH_TKWPOdY8HDXO09TheGvuhUUvtdOHhdT2oeA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all!

I have a few questions on how you handle patron replacement of damaged or
lost items.

   1. Do you have a fixed price or are they allowed to replace it with a
   new item?
   2. Do they order the replacement item or do they cover your cost?
   3. Do they have to replace it in the same edition (hardcover vs trade
   paperback vs mass market)?
   4. What do you charge as a processing fee to process it back into the
   collection (staff time, mylar, barcode, and call number)?

On another note:

   1. Do you have any patrons who will not check out trade or mass market
   paperbacks because of the size of the print, but will check out hardcovers
   that are not large print?

Hello,

We had a few back issues of Michigan History Magazine donated that we don't need. 

If you are in need of the following issues, please let me know off list (cutlerlibrary at live.com) which issue(s) and your RIDES codes:

May/June 2002
March/April 2002
January/February 2002

March/April 2001
January/February 2001

Also, we have a copy of "Peg Leg: A Tale of Pioneer Adventure in the Grand River Valley," published by the author Roy W. Adams of Mason, Michigan, in 1950. This would be a discard from our collection (it hasn't circulated here since 1988), but it is still in very good condition (only checked out 6 times). If you are interested in this title, please let me know.

We want them to just pay the list price of the book when we purchased it ? so I can either buy a replacement ? or buy something else that is needed.  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.

Hi all,

Effective today, Gale Cengage<http://www.cengage.com/search/showresults.do?N=197> has rolled out a new browsing feature in the MeL Database Academic OneFile<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=AONE> called Browse by Discipline.  Six disciplines - Criminal Justice, Economics, History, Marketing, Political Science, and Psychology now appear front and center and once selected, can be refined by categories to provide search results which include academic journals, magazines, books, news items, videos, and audio.

Gale describes the new feature as, "...does the searching for you, making it ideal for the user who struggles with effective Advanced Search strategies and overwhelming results. Content is tailored to specific topics.  Smaller and more targeted results will empower users to quickly find relevant content. Publications are hand-selected by subject-matter experts to ensure content is focused on the selected subject area." All the familiar searches-like Basic, Advanced, Subject, and Publication-are still available options as are the usual InfoTrac database tools. 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<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.

MLA and Member Efforts Deliver a Victory for Free Speech and Michigan Libraries: Temporary Injunction is Now Permanent
Libraries are once again free to educate and inform voters about upcoming millage elections. 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.
This important victory highlights the significance of MLA advocacy, our GCSI lobbyists and the grassroots efforts of our members. A synopsis of our advocacy efforts is available here<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001a2qS2S8LGYDfxRh30z_gLnEBcgw-Ds054woA29GeGFrImEn7qHQkP-TzsIAatjzkOAgjCI5VE0X55N3ID2FrKhOrXpjjHYJP_yooJf8odkTKEDWG6Y_p9zr49FqgTlbe5ofk9GWTxPnNh_Rvl3ni1l_wQd4ik9FbXxuN70_CmwGtVXNmVWNddNXJE_3NuWHmKmgKU86eIszipWZU18cj3jI-ikeXpbAU&c=GjwfLw-XlZFYyZy8jWMPziLv08wT7QUqShk8HosIFiAMU4_EjcBX-A==&ch=_I-9xO9ZXR7nXREY86Ofbf3FSCPl3p_CuF8WXX8ShmOsVUx2jMNXZw==>.

I'd like to highly recommend Teresa Irish's A Thousand letters Home program.

 

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."

To back up Karen on her point about not wanting to discourage or violate the rights of the nursing mother, the intention is to have a policy in place in case someone else objects so we can say, "hey look, this is our policy, now go away and leave this woman alone". Better to be proactive than reactive.

Although Mount Clemens Public Library doesn't have a policy with
regard to nursing mothers--and I personally feel this is a very
healthy activity--given some of the questionable "characters"
who frequent this library, I certainly would not encourage the 
practice here.

To back up Karen on her point about not wanting to discourage or violate the rights of the nursing mother, the intention is to have a policy in place in case someone else objects so we can say, "hey look, this is our policy, now go away and leave this woman alone". Better to be proactive than reactive.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Calling all Michigan libraries! The MI Harwood Cohort
 is doubling its capacity.
Message-ID: <CO2PR19MB0044219264C5D6A852B62730A3660@CO2PR19MB0044.namprd19.prod.outlook.com>

The Library of Michigan<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan> 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<http://www.theharwoodinstitute.org/> . 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. Checks (payable to the library) will soon follow.
     *   Recipients will need to make their own hotel reservations. It is encouraged to make the reservations as soon as possible after notification. A link to register for the hotel will be available at mcls.org/micohort2016<http://mcls.org/training-events/events/michigan-harwood-cohort-2016/> the time of notification.

The application

  *   A link to the downloadable application is available in MSWord on the Michigan Harwood Cohort 2016 webpage at mcls.org/micohort2016<http://mcls.org/training-events/events/michigan-harwood-cohort-2016/>.
  *   Applications should be emailed to David Votta, Community Engagement Librarian, at vottad at mcls.org<mailto:vottad at mcls.org>.

Hello,

We had a few back issues of Michigan History Magazine donated that we don't need. 

If you are in need of the following issues, please let me know off list (cutlerlibrary at live.com) which issue(s) and your RIDES codes:

May/June 2002
March/April 2002
January/February 2002
September/October 2001
July/August 2001

March/April 2001

Special Issue: Detroit at 300

Also, we have a copy of "Peg Leg: A Tale of Pioneer Adventure in the Grand River Valley," published by the author Roy W. Adams of Mason, Michigan, in 1950. This would be a discard from our collection (it hasn't circulated here since 1988), but it is still in very good condition (only checked out 6 times). If you are interested in this title, please let me know.

Happy Friday All!

We hosted Maureen Abood last night and it was a huge success!  She is very friendly and personable, plus she made some amazing food!  She signed her book, Rose Water & Orange Blossoms, and we sold out!  Make sure you have plenty on hand for your programs.  I will definitely make her recipes and she offers many of the ingredients at MaureenAboodMarket.com.

If you get the chance to visit a neighboring library that is hosting her, go!  It was a wonderful program and I highly recommend it.

Howdy, Michigan librarians!

It may be taking spring a while to settle in, much less summer, but we kick
off our summer of making around the state a week from Tuesday with a free
daylong workshop at Benton Harbor Public Library on Tuesday, May 10. We are
grateful to the Institute of Museum and Library Services for making this
free to all attendees. SCECHs are available. Bring your in-building or
community-wide partners and enjoy the opportunity to spend the day thinking
about how you can build maker culture within and beyond your organization's
walls.

You can register for this or any other workshop by visiting
http://makinglibraries.si.umich.edu/road-trip .

Best,
Kristin
