Message-ID: Libraries Read: 1 Book discussion event - South Lyon, MI Last chance to register and add your voice to the discussion! "Is Google making us stupid?" Nicholas Carr asked, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story. Carr delves further into the question in his book The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains, the selected title for "Libraries Read: 1 Book." MCLS invited library staff across Indiana and Michigan to place votes on one of four titles to select one book that we will all read and discuss together for professional development. Nicholas Carr's book captured the most votes. In The Shallows, he explores the net's intellectual and cultural consequences. MCLS encourages library staff to read the book throughout the summer, then join us in a Twitter chat and regional discussions about the book. According to Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director, "During 2014, MCLS conducted a series of community conversations with librarians throughout Indiana and Michigan, utilizing the tools from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation. The desire to have discussions in many formats, and to communicate with one another outside of our silos was a recurring theme. By reading one book together, we aim to create deeper connections among libraries that span geographic and other boundaries." Michigan Book Discussions: * August 3, 11 am to 1 pm Eastern. Salem-South Lyon District Library, South Lyon, MI. * August 5, 11 am to 1 pm Eastern. MCLS, Lansing, MI. Register for an in-person discussion>> For more information about "Libraries Read: 1 Book", contact David Votta at vottad at mcls.org, visit our Facebook page, or read our blog.

Cataloging with RDA (Resource Description and Access) is similar to cataloging with AACR2...and then again it's not! In this 2-hour webinar, key differences between AACR2 and RDA will be identified and shown through examples. Some of the challenges and implications of these differences will be discussed, and possible solutions suggested. This class will be online for 1 two-hour session using our online workshop software. All registered attendees will receive an email with WebEx login information a few days prior to the class date. This workshop has been approved for two (2) General Library Education Units (LEUs) for Indiana staff; this workshop is also part of our Cataloging certificate curriculum. >>Register Please direct any questions to training at mcls.org.

Now please help us keep support for such programs strong by completing the annual SRP Statistic survey, it provides us with useful feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M9B9NZY Adult program, Teen & Children's stats are all covered in the 1 survey, but you do not need to complete all 3 age groups, just the one(s) you coordinate.

Castaways, stowaways, and ship wrecks on islands around the world. One photo showed a picture of a skeleton sitting in a lounge chair on an isolated island. We have weeded the book (which he remembers checking out in 2006-?!). Thinks it may have been published in the 60's, but not sure. I don't know anything pertinent-author, publisher, etc. It was a hardcover. I showed him some covers on Amazon, but nothing looked right. The photo of the skeleton seems the brightest clue; hoping it rings a bell for someone. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide!

Don't forget to register for the 2016 MHSLA (Michigan Health Science Librarians Association) Annual Conference is open! The conference will be held on October 12-14, 2016 at the Baronette Renaissance Hotel in Novi, Michigan. The full program brochure will be available soon. Here are some helpful links: 2016 Conference site: http://mhsla.org/home/2016/index.htm Registration for Conference: http://mhsla.org/home/2016/registration.htm Hotel Registration (MUST BE COMPLETED SEPARATE FROM CONFERENCE REGISTRATION): http://mhsla.org/home/2016/hotel.htm This year's keynote speaker will be Tom Buchmueller - Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Chair of Business Economics, University of Michigan. Dr. Buchmueller is a health economist whose research focuses on the economics of health insurance and related public policy issues. There are also some great Continuing Education courses to choose from. On Friday, Jean Song and Marci Brandenburg will be teaching a 2 hour MLA CE Course on Data Visualization. Visualization can be a powerful tool for discovery, data analysis, and presentation. Due to the great amounts of data being generated in the health sciences, data visualization is becoming more popular, and libraries are finding their niche in the visualization landscape. This course will provide an introduction to visualization, including design principles, different types of visualization, and the role of the library. After taking this course, participants will have a better understanding of data visualization, will be better prepared for engaging in conversations with researchers interested in visualization, and could begin thinking of possible visualization services that they could offer at their institution.

More information about the webinar: Getting Started with Statistics for Librarians Does the term "p value" make you anxious when you read research articles? How high is your confidence level in interpreting research data? As librarians interact with more research through efforts with evidence-based practice and systematic reviews, they have a growing need for understanding statistics. This confidence-building course will help you be more comfortable with statistical concept for reading research findings and interpreting data. Goals and objectives: After participating in this webinar, you will be able to: * Understand basic statistical terms such as standard deviation, t test, p value, and so on * Identify test measures used in published research studies * Interpret the data, formulas, and graphs used in the research findings Agenda: 1. Examine sample research papers and their data analysis findings. Highlight statistical terms that will be discussed. 2. Define the statistical concepts. 3. Use interactive exercises to verify understanding. For example, to examine different research studies and decide which test measure was used. 4. Reexamine the research papers and data to further reinforce the concept. Presenter: Jin Wu is an emerging technologies librarian at the University of Southern California (USC) Norris Medical Library. In this role, she tracks, investigates, and uses data proactively to address emerging trends that improve library services and promote library resources.

The program kicks off with a 1.5-day workshop led by Harwood Institute certified coaches, October 5-6, 2016. 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 designed to help individuals and organizations learn what it means to Turn Outward - to use the community, not the conference room, as a reference point for choices and action. A goal of this initiative is to help libraries strengthen their role as core community leaders and change-agents. The selected libraries represent a spectrum of library types, sizes and geographic locations in Michigan, all with a common goal to engage more deeply in their communities. The following libraries were selected: * Airport Community Schools Libraries * Alpena County Library * Bad Axe Area District Library * Bedford Public Schools Libraries * Benzonia Public Library * Branch District Library * Caro Area District Library * Chesterfield Township Library * East Lansing Public Library * Ferris State University * Grand Valley State University * Hastings Public Library * Howell Carnegie District Library * Jackson District Library * Lansing Community College * Lawrence Technological University * Michigan Technological University * Milan Public Library * Monroe County Library System * Muskegon Area District Library * Pathfinder Community Library * Plymouth-Canton Community Schools * Portage District Library * Portage Lake District Library * Presque Isle District Library * Putnam District Library * Redford Township District Library * Salem-South Lyon District Library * Western Michigan University [IMLS logo.png] This project is supported by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

In fact, you will have just the opposite challenge - determining the cut-off point. People will come from beyond your service area to see him, unless you choose to establish some restrictions in attendance. His fee may seem a bit pricey, but his program is well worth it. Our Friends Group helped with the cost. We ended up selling tickets for $1.00 as a fundraiser and presenting his program in our Civic Auditorium rather than our Meeting Room. I think we offered the tickets to our patrons first for a week or two, and then opened it up to the public at large. His contact person works closely with you. Check out www.americanchillers.com for more details. He usually features photos of his visits on his website as well as an itinerary. Jonathan comes prepared and interacts very well with both children and parents. He is passionate about reading and writing, and his enthusiasm comes through in his presentation. He will sign books afterwards, but I do not know the current guidelines. Please feel free to call me if you would like to chat further.

Please forward to anyone that you think would benefit from receiving this information. ********************************************* Register today to attend the Reading Redefined: Deep Reading, Learning, and the Impact of Digitization September 30, 2016 9:30 am - 4:00 pm Lansing Community College West Campus Ebooks. Websites. Blogs. Twitter. Facebook. Many of us are awash in digital information, and in the early 21st century much of our reading has migrated from print on paper to text on screens. What has been little understood or even recognized is the way that our reading habits are affected by the medium that we use. This is starting to change. Recent scholarship has inspired articles and media reports, and awareness is growing that our choice in reading technology - printed book, Kindle, iPad, computer monitor - makes an important difference in our understanding and retention of what we read. Since ebooks began to appear, but especially after Amazon introduced the Kindle, demand from our patrons has meant that librarians are busy selecting, acquiring, and loaning digital books. But few of us have stopped to consider the implications for readers of the new formats. On September 30, a collaborative of library service agencies are sponsoring Reading Redefined: Deep Reading, Learning, and the Impact of Digitization, a one-day symposium to discuss the ways that reading is changing as our environment and interactions become ever more digital. We are excited to have Maryanne Wolf and Natalie Phillips as plenary speakers. They are both pre-eminent researchers in the field. In addition to their own published research, they have been featured in numerous articles and interviews. The cost to attend this program is $50.00/person and includes lunch. For more information, and to register, go to: http://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/reading-redefined/ This project is supported, in part, by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Early bird registration and fees are due no later than September 2nd, so visit arsl.info to get your registration started. *Why should you come to ARSL2016? * Well first and foremost, it is a national conference organized by small and rural librarians for professionals who work in small and rural libraries. A list of break-out sessions can be found here . (And if you wonder what the definition of small and rural is, we operate under if you think you might be, you probably are!) Secondly, this conference is incredibly affordable. Full conference rates begin at $243.85, which includes 3 breakfast meals, 2 lunches, the welcome reception, and all author events. This year our keynote speakers line-up can be found here and includes best selling author William Kent Kruger and Betty Gronneberg, founder of uCodeGirl. Also, the conference hotel (Holiday Inn Fargo) is offering a low conference rate of $99/night! Finally, this conference is the best opportunity to meet and visit with other library professionals who truly understand what it is like to work with limited staff and an even more limited budget. By participating in after hour opportunities like dine-arounds and game night, you will be able to grow your professional network from outside of your immediate area to a national network of friends and colleagues. Many who come to this conference stay connected during the year and search each other out at future conferences. We hope you are able to join us and look forward to seeing you at ARSL2016 in Fargo, ND this October 27-29th (unless you come in early for a pre-conference or tour on the 26th!)

Join Michigan Libraries for Life 2016! Registration form: http://bit.ly/ML4L2016 A list of currently registered libraries is posted at the bottom of this message. [Image removed by sender. smalllogo-01(1) (1).png] If you could save a life, would you? Most people would say ?Yes!? without hesitation. One of the simplest ways to save and improve lives is by supporting organ, tissue, and eye donation. Since 2010, libraries across Michigan have participated in a simple and effective campaign to educate patrons about donation and transplantation, and to give them an opportunity to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry. The campaign is called Michigan Libraries for Life. This statewide campaign, which includes public, academic, special and hospital libraries of all sizes, has inspired nearly 2,900 people to sign up as donors! ?Libraries have been great partners in saving and healing lives,? said Rick Hillbom, Gift of Life Michigan?s Interim CEO. ?They?ve been very successful at educating the public about the facts of organ, tissue and eye donation. Thanks to this partnership, Michigan Libraries for Life gives hope to the 3,500 Michigan patients waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.? More than 95% of Americans support organ, tissue and eye donation. Yet in Michigan, only 54% of adults have joined the state?s donor registry. That discrepancy is largely due to residents not knowing how to properly join the donor registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that information need. ?Someone you know probably needs - or will someday need - a lifesaving organ or tissue transplant. People die waiting because not enough organs are available. Your library can be a great help by registering donors and providing information about organ donation,? said Anne Rau, Capital Area District Library librarian and living kidney donor. ?By participating in Michigan Libraries for Life your library is helping to save lives.? [cid:ii_ioecn2va0_154c942f9c24b3cc] ? University of Michigan Shapiro Undergraduate Library 2014 We are excited to bring this lifesaving event back in 2016! Libraries are welcome to participate by staffing a registration table in their libraries for however long they are able, from just a few hours to all 7 days. This year?s drive will start on Monday, October 3rd and run through Sunday, October 9th. Gift of Life Michigan will provide a free in-person training for library representatives at the Redford Township District Library on Wednesday, August 17th and a session at their Ann Arbor office on Friday, August 19th. We have also developed web-based training materials for those who are unable to attend the in-person sessions. ?I enjoyed taking part in this well-orchestrated event,? commented one 2015 Michigan Libraries For Life participant. ?I hope to participate again next year.? The key to this program's success is the participation of many libraries across the state. Your library is warmly invited to join the 2016 Michigan Libraries for Life organ donor registration drive. If your organization would like to participate in this year?s program, please complete this registration form: http://bit.ly/ML4L2016.

The solution at the time now seems cumbersome and I would like to propose a change. Before I get ahead of myself I was hoping to gather information on how other libraries are handling this. Some of the questions I have are: Do you allow authors to sell books onsite, and if so who provides/sells the books? (Does the library provide the books to sell and keep any profit? Do you use your Friends group to sell or invite a local bookstore to sell onsite? Do you ask the author sell their own books onsite with no interaction from the library/FOTL group/bookstore?) Do you treat self-published authors differently? Is this something in a policy, or just the way things are done? Thank you in advance for any and all ideas and advice!

Beginning in the early years, public library services such as story time and early literacy programming help children get ready for school. Libraries serve as pillars for school-age children's afterschool and summer learning experiences and invite families to participate in diverse activities, from engaging in maker spaces and digital media labs to exploring healthy lifestyles. Through offerings in adult education, job seeking and computer skills, libraries are reinventing themselves as hubs of two-generation learning. According to Clara Bohrer and Kathleen Reif, co-chairs of the Public Library Association's Family Engagement Task Force, "family engagement goes well beyond the support of early literacy and our youngest children, and encompasses the wide range of services offered by libraries for families and children of all ages." Furthermore, libraries are essential community partners in contributing to more equitable learning opportunities for children living in poverty or from low-income homes. For the many children without preschool experience, libraries fill gaps in their access to guided and research-based early learning experiences. For those without access to afterschool programs, libraries offer safe spaces for homework help and enrichment. And for those who are underconnected, free access to high-speed Internet connections and quality digital media and technology makes learning tools available."

This person was a library board member for many years, our board president for many years, and instrumental in community support for our new library. We were given almost $3000 in memorial donations after his death, and spent some on a memorial bench. I'm just not sure it would be legal or appropriate for the library to make a donation. I know we cannot use tax dollars, but can we use donations? Are all library funds considered tax dollars once the library receives them? Is there a publication that explains what is and is not allowed with library funds? I'd love to have it! Julie Grynwich, Director New Buffalo Twp.

I go to libraries all over the Lower Peninsula and give presentations, the end of which I sell and sign books, often at a discount. Each library I have been in provides a table, as well as a projector and screen for my PowerPoint presentation (I have a projector in case the facility doesn't own one, but most presenters don't). Some authors buy their book supply from their publisher while others self-publish, so prices vary-but I've never encountered any problems setting my own pricing. I've never had a library provide their own books. Only when I do a signing at a Costco or Barnes & Noble or other bookstore do the vendors provide their own books. I've always had superb librarian staff introduce me and watch over the proceedings, although they are also able to attend to other duties while I am presenting.I haven't encountered any libraries that have a written policy on author appearances, nor do I think one is needed. I've been a librarian and a library board member and haven't seen any written policies but if you feel one is warranted I would suggest having a few authors and see how it goes, and then decide if you want a policy.This is how it typically goes:1. The library provides publicity, a table, and a projector and screen if applicable. They also introduce the author.2. The author provides the books, makes his/her own change, and doesn't involve the library in the money. Many authors will donate a copy of their book to the library.3. My home library, like others, has "book fairs" inviting many local authors at a time who sell and autograph their books to library patrons. Many of these are sponsored by Friends of the Library groups.Hope this helps!Alan NaldrettAuthor of Lost Towns of Eastern Michigan,Lost Car Companies of Detroit, and others.alannaldrett at gmail.com On Tuesday, August 9, 2016 9:54 PM, Shelley Williams wrote: We provide a table.?

Please respond to the MDE survey by AUGUST 16 (TUESDAY) per the information below. This is a chance to make a possible difference for supporting Michigan's students with effective school library programs! Please contact me if you have any questions. * ALA and AASL worked diligently to have school library/librarian provisions added to the new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The act is written such that each state has autonomy in how they implement the details of the act. Thus, AASL and ALA are encouraging library supporters in each state to provide input to each state department of education to make sure the school library provisions are included in their implementation. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is currently asking for input on their ESSA Implementation Work with a public survey. The survey will close on August 16th. Thus, your action is needed now! Please encourage others to participate as well and feel free to forward this to other groups. MDE needs to hear multiple and varied voices about the importance of school library programs in our state. Currently, Michigan ranks 41st on 4th grade reading achievement on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). http://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2016/05/18/ michigan-students-sliding-toward-bottom/84535876/ Michigan?s reading scores dropped at the same time that Michigan lost over 60% of its certified school library media specialist positions. Michigan now ranks 47th in the ratio of students to school library media specialists. Please voice your opinion about the importance of school libraries in Michigan and respond to the MDE survey. *Please feel free to use any of the talking points* found in the attached document which ALA/AASL provided specifically to help Michigan respond to the MDE survey. This document also includes some state specific information provided by MAME. The link to the online survey is here . Of the 7 active sections which relate to MDE?s Action Teams that are working on the implementation plan, there is no obvious location for school library supporter support; so we are recommending that our supporters please RESPOND AT LEAST ONE QUESTION within the following sections as outlined in the attached document. 1) Supports, 2) Additional Indicator of School Quality and Transparency Dashboard 3) Teacher and Leader Quality 4) Using Data to Inform Instruction Please personalize your response and feel free to answer more (or less) of the survey questions. An additional handout on other talking points that you might find useful can be found at bit.ly/MIESSALIB You can also go to www.michigan.gov/essa to find out more about MDE's ESSA Implementation work. --Kathy Kathy Lester, MLIS, MA MAME Advocacy Chair, Past-President 2014 School Library Media Specialist / Technology Coach East Middle School, Plymouth-Canton Schools *2012 **State Librarian's Excellence Award Winner* kathyL at mimame.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: If you are new to or unfamiliar with WebJunction webinars, you may not know that WebJunction began regularly hosting webinars ten years ago. Why webinars? Library staff frequently cited that critical barriers to pursuing learning were lack of time or funds to attend in-person training, and WebJunction responded with webinars that have since become a key component of the WebJunction experience, made free and available to all who work or volunteer in libraries. Check out this article to learn more about these webinars and how you can make them a valuable part of your continuing education. Highlighted content from WebJunction * Talking with Kids about Race and Racism at the Oakland Public Library: guest post from Miriam Medow of the Oakland Public Library about how she looked to engage youth in conversations with about race, racism and current events. This article has details on how the event was designed and organized, including how Miriam worked with local partners to host a successful panel that met a community interest and need. A great list of resources as well as a recording of the event are also available to help inspire you and your library. * No Experience Required: Coding for Everyone: in a recent WebJunction webinar, Kelly Smith, founder of Prenda, introduced coding as an increasingly important digital literacy skill, showed why coding is important for all ages, and presented approaches and best practices by age along with a plethora of great resources. Kelly shared tips for launching a successful program in libraries, along with resources to get started. As with all WebJunction webinars, the recording is available to watch at any time! Upcoming Webinars If you can?t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the course catalog. Building Your Learning Culture: The Whole Organization Approach Wednesday, August 24, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/build-your-learning-culture.html The most innovative workplaces embrace learning as an essential activity for their employees. Since libraries are dedicated learning places in our communities, it is crucial that we practice learning intentionally and internally. But where do we begin? Learning is not one-size-fits-all for individuals or for organizations. This webinar, for all library staff, from front line to administration, encourages a broad approach to creating organizational learning structures. Learn how libraries of all sizes can map learning strategies to highlight the most impactful opportunities for staff. Presented by: Jami Carter, Director, Tooele City Library (UT) Support Small Business Development at Your Library Thursday, September 15, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/support-small-business-development.html Economic development and job opportunities are concerns in most communities, and thriving small businesses are important to ensuring a community's economic health. Join the Small Business Information Center (SBIC) Librarian from the Cecil County Public Library (CCPL) to learn how your library can be a part of the formula for building and supporting a stronger local economy. You'll learn how CCPL has developed the SBIC since its inception in 2003, growing from a shelf of books to a personalized service, with examples and lessons they?ve learned along the way. Find out how your library can be an excellent resource for aspiring and experienced business owners. This session will cover the basics of collection development, classes, marketing, partnerships and more. Hear how libraries are not only helping launch small businesses, but as these businesses continue to thrive, they are able to give back to the community. For an awe-inspiring example, watch this story of CCPL?s role in a local small business with global impact.

I am not an antique expert, but the prices I see in antique stores reflect what is on ebay: -$300 on up for stand-alone wooden card catalogs with many drawers. -$50-100 or more for a small unit with just 2 wooden drawers. -Ones with metal drawers are cheaper.

From the responses, it does not appear that sheriff elections are the biggest factor. Some libraries' penal fine receipts even went up despite elections. In our case, I learned that the County Treasurer paid us 13-months' penal fines last year and thus paid only 11-months' penal fines this year. That reduces our drop to "only" 13% if we compare 12-month periods. I also learned that the new circuit court judge who was elected in Nov 2014 changed some practices.

To gather input, the Commission has organized three listening tour stops - one in west Michigan, one in northern Michigan, and one in southeast Michigan. These stops are designed to gather direct input from Michigan's residents on the current state of Michigan's infrastructure, the infrastructure system citizens envision, and how we can work together to close the gap between the two. This input will help shape the Commission's final report and set of recommendations, which will be released on November 30, 2016. Attendees should be prepared to discuss their vision for our future infrastructure systems and expectations for Michigan's infrastructure across all sectors: transportation, water, communications, and energy.

The document calls for libraries to join together with schools and community organizations to establish a system of family engagement that extends throughout a child's life, supports children and families, and prepares children for success. But did you ever wonder what libraries around the country are doing to engage families? Or are you interested in knowing what libraries consider their greatest family engagement needs? This week we answer these questions by sharing results of HFRP and PLA's national survey of family engagement in libraries. [http://files.constantcontact.com/ec4b4988001/0f554fab-f967-4102-b945-bb70f150d636.jpg] Family Engagement in Public Libraries Is Valued, but There Is Work to Be Done This survey of more than 460 library directors around the country shows that libraries offer comprehensive services for families and are particularly strong in providing opportunities for families of young children to engage in their children's learning. However, libraries are still dedicated to finding additional ways to broaden family engagement beyond early literacy.

URL: From kathyl at mimame.org Wed Aug 17 09:57:18 2016 From: kathyl at mimame.org (Lester, Kathy) Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 09:57:18 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] US DOE needs to hear from you! Message-ID: *Another* opportunity to provide input to support school libraries (this one at the *National* Level versus the State): I received an email asking me to pass on this request (*see below*) to respond to a *US Department of Education* survey through my role as an ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) Affiliate rep. The survey is *very short *and includes open-ended questions. [5 questions: 2-demographics; 3-responses] This may be a great way for school library supporters to respond to indicate: the priority and need for Effective School Library Programs and School Librarians, as well as to request Regional Center support for effective school library programs. [I believe the deadline to submit a survey response is August 18] *Michigan is 41st on 4th Grade Reading achievement per NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress); and is 47th in the ratio of students per certified school library media specialist.* Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions, --Kathy Lester *The US Department of Education is requesting YOUR input on educational needs in your region!* The survey requests feedback on the most pressing educational issues and how the Department of Education?s Comprehensive Centers can provide assistance to address those issues. The Department of Education would appreciate feedback from anyone who has an interest in the current state of education and ideas for where improvements are most needed. Please complete the online survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PML2GPN at your earliest convenience. It would be appreciated if you could add your state and/or region into the text box, although this information is not specifically requested. Information will be compiled by regions, when possible, in order to best support each region. There are Regional Advisory Committees whose members are interested in gathering more detailed information as well. If you feel that you have additional information to share, please contact the Regional Advisory Committee members in your region and share with them. The deadline for the information gathering portion of this project is August 18, so don?t delay! Here is some context for how the gathered information will be used: The Comprehensive Centers (Centers http://www2.ed.gov/pr ograms/newccp/index.html) program is authorized by Title II of the Educational Technical Assistance Act of 2002 (ETAA), Education Sciences Reform Act (ESRA) of 2002. The Department of Education (Department) funds these Centers to provide technical assistance to State education agencies (SEAs) that builds SEA capacity to: support local educational agencies (LEAs or districts) and schools, especially low-performing districts and schools; improve educational outcomes for all students; close achievement gaps; and improve the quality of instruction. Before a competition for the Centers program is held, the ETAA requires the establishment of ten *Regional Advisory Committees (RACs)*. The purpose of these committees is to collect information on the educational needs of each of the ten regions. To the extent the Secretary deems appropriate, the Department will use the information submitted by the RACs, along with other relevant regional surveys of needs, to establish priorities for the next cohort of Centers. Thanks for taking the time to read this message, and complete the survey!

RDA for non-catalogers: what do I need to know? Thursday, Sept. 8, 10am - 12noon Eastern Online webinar Credit: 2 general LEUs for Indiana staff Have you thought that your catalogers have been talking a new language lately? Using terms like RDA and FRBR? RDA (Resources, Description and Access) is the new cataloging standard, implemented in 2013 to replace AACR2. FRBR is part of the infrastructure of this new code. What does this mean to the non-cataloger? What kind of changes should library staff and the end user expect to see as a result of RDA? What are some of the major changes between AACR2 and RDA? In this 2 hour session, we will cover the history of RDA, some of its infrastructure, as well as identify some of the key differences between AACR2 and RDA. How these changes will affect OPAC displays and some of the resulting challenges will also be addressed.

Wanted to share with you our latest tech project here at Otsego District Library in case it might be helpful to other folks in library land - I know some of you already have done this too but some might be interested in the idea - We created touchscreen card catalogs. I did this at my former library also about 4 years ago and the touch screen technology has come a long way since then. They are working really great. I was inspired by the digital endcaps at the Nashville Public Library but we could not afford the product they used. We created our own version of this at 1/20th the cost. I am pretty excited how they turned out and they are working great so far with our catalog! We used 27 inch ACER monitors and flipped and mounted them vertically. We used a very small processor - The Dell Micro PC 3000 Series - and put it on the bottom shelf behind the endcap. We drilled a hole through the endcap for the cords. Verso/Auto-graphics is our card catalog. We added 3 widgets to the bottom of our Verso homepage to make scrolling covers of New Books, New Movies, and New Audiobooks. We set up the computers to have a screensaver showing slides that advertise our programs when people are not using the catalog. They work just like a smart phone - you can shrink and enlarge the text the same way as on an IPhone, and a keyboard pops up when you click in the text bars. Nick Heimler, Heimler Consulting, does our technology and he helped me find just what I was looking for - I wanted something large and thin. He installed them for us and set them up to display vertically. When we removed our old catalog stands, our maintenance man put trim pieces to match the endcaps up to cover where they had been screwed to the endcaps, and built a fence to match the other endcaps in our children's area. It turned out really nice. We have been getting a lot of positive patron comments on them and the kids and teens especially like using them. Thought it was a cool idea to share. Before and after pictures attached!

Message-ID: Three more September cataloging classes you won't want to miss! Original cataloging of monographs using RDA (online webinar) September 20, 21, 22 / 10am - 12noon Eastern each day Credit: 6 general LEUs for Indiana staff Here is your chance to work with RDA (Resource Description and Access) while learning the fundamentals of original cataloging of monographs. In this hands-on workshop, you will explore the foundations behind RDA, the tools included in the RDA Toolkit and leave with a better understanding of how to transition from AACR2 to RDA. Participants will learn the core elements of a catalog record, key MARC tags, how to assign subject headings, basic authority control and why it is important. Among the topics discussed will be the chief source of information, physical description, primary access point, and the choice of additional access points. Participants will learn the appropriate MARC fixed and variable fields for books, and will study the relationships among these fields. Several MARC record examples will be examined, and a number of hands-on exercises will be included. Assignment of subject headings will also be discussed. The booklet for this workshop contains an RDA Workflow providing the relevant RDA rules, the Library of Congress Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Statements and MARC coding information. The OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards will also be used. PLEASE NOTE: This is a general original cataloging course and questions regarding specific local systems will NOT be covered. Some prior knowledge of cataloging is recommended. Copy cataloging of sound recordings using RDA (online webinar) September 21, 22, 23 / 2 - 4pm Eastern each day Credit: 6 general LEUs for Indiana staff This workshop teaches participants how to catalog sound recordings (CDs, MP3s, and cassettes, both musical and nonmusical), using such tools as RDA and Library of Congress Subject Headings Manual. The class will address copy cataloging in the MARC format. The instruction will cover issues like the chief sources of information, physical description, main entry, and choice of additional access points. In addition, participants will learn the MARC fixed and variable fields for sound recordings, and will study the relationships among these fields. Several MARC record examples will be examined, and a number of hands-on exercises will be included. The booklet for this workshop contains RDA rules combined with MARC coding information. The online version of OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards will also be used. PLEASE NOTE: Basic navigation in the RDA Toolkit will NOT be covered. You will need to attend Copy Cataloging of Monographs Using RDA prior to attending this program. Dewey Decimal Classification (online webinar) September 28, 29, 30 / 2 - 4pm Eastern each day Credit: 6 general LEUs for Indiana staff This is an introduction to the 23rd edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification system. The instructor will teach participants how to interpret and construct Dewey Decimal call numbers. Participants will learn how to derive the base number from the index and schedule and then how to complete the number using tables and other devices. Participants will examine a number of examples in detail and will also construct numbers from scratch. The examples will cover all major subject areas in the classification scheme. Participants will learn how to construct 'complete' Dewey numbers, such as those that are used in large research libraries, but will also learn how to build 'truncated' Dewey numbers, such are used in school, public and small academic libraries.

The number of hits to the MAP website for the first three months of 2016-2017 stands at a bit over 220,000. And our social media coordinator reports that the MAP Facebook page has now garnered in excess of 3,500 likes. This is all great news! Give yourselves a pat on the back, or a round of applause, or eat a handful of pistachios (that's what I would do) to celebrate. Going forward, let's keep it going! Although the start of school may be looming on the horizon (indeed, school started yesterday in the district where we live, which meant we could hear an even lighter pin dropping in our so quiet you can hear a pin drop neighborhood), most still have time to squeeze in a couple more weeks of family fun before the work begins. So keep that MAP promotion going! One operational piece of information. Emily Lake State Forest Campground http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?id=639&type=SFCG is closed until further notice on account damage from recent storms that hit the area. Emily Lake State Forest Campground is located about halfway between Ontonogan and Baraga, just south of Twin Lakes State Park https://www.google.com/maps/place/Emily+Lake/@46.7262121,-89.1749654,8.92z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4d57288a5cb14dcb:0xf5d84d1de0a18e2b!8m2!3d46.8589348!4d-88.8541832 We have made note of the closure on the More Info tab for this venue on the MAP website. We will update the MAP website when the storm damage has been repaired and Emily Lake State Forest Campground re-opens for campers.

In tribute to the community's agricultural heritage, families are invited to dress in farm-friendly attire and enjoy food, fun and farm festivities. There will be a petting zoo, quilt show and music performance by Country Stringz. This Our Community Celebrates event takes place on Saturday, September 10, 2-4 p.m. at the Nelson Township / Sand Lake Branch, 88 8th Street, Sand Lake. A special ceremonial mortgage burning will take place at 3 p.m. "It takes a community to build a library," says Carole Simpson, Kent District Library Trustee and member of the Friends of the Nelson Township / Sand Lake Branch. "Many individuals, families, businesses, organizations and groups contributed to the capital campaign that made our beautiful library possible. The community's generosity allowed us to pay off the library building four years ahead of schedule." In addition to community donations, funds to construct the library came from a 15-year low-interest loan for $725,000, which originated in 2005 from the Rural Development Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Loan payments were made with funds from a 0.039 millage dedicated to the construction and maintenance of the library in Nelson Township. Both Nelson Township and the Village of Sand Lake contributed with money from Community Development Block Grant Funds and Courtland Township also contributed toward the construction costs. Over the last 11 years, the Friends of the Nelson Township / Sand Lake Branch contributed $93,000 to pay down the loan principal using proceeds from their many successful book sales. The 8,736 square foot Nelson Township / Sand Lake Branch Library opened on May 19, 2007. The library is currently open 42 hours a week. In 2015, 48,280 people visited the branch and checked out over 100,000 items. 7,612 people attended programs at the branch in 2015 and nearly 11,000 people used the library's computers and Wi-Fi access. Kent District Library is a public library system operating 18 branch libraries. KDL serves nearly 400,000 residents of 27 governmental units, comprising most of Kent County, Michigan. KDL is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by millage dollars and private donations. #### This news release is available in digital format, with a photograph of the library at http://www.kdl.org/mortgage-burning-celebration-nelson-twp-sand-lake-branch.

In my opinion, you shouldn't have one for a Board Member receiving a complaint. However, what is important is what happens after the Board Member receives a complaint. Ideally, the Board Member would contact you directly and speak regarding the complaint. This is an opportunity for you to become aware of the complaint and provide your details surrounding the incident or lack thereof. If the Board member decides to bring it up during a meeting you should have by-laws regarding how that is handled (agenda item etc.). You may also have the option of requesting it be discussed in closed/executive session as it pertains to your work performance. The member may choose neither and bring it up at your next annual review. This is not ideal as you will not necessarily know about it and won't be able to address it in a timely fashion. Bottom line, I encourage all my Board members to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns that they may have.

Libraries partnering to serve at-risk youth should consider applying for Round 3 of P3 grants. See below for more information. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov Nourishing Michigan's Future...during school and during the summer! Find a Summer Food Service Program site nearest you and encourage Michigan's children to Meet Up and Eat Up! www.michigan.gov/meetupeatup [image004] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2016 3:58 PM Subject: Libraries partnering to serve at-risk youth should consider applying for Round 3 of P3 Seven federal agencies, including IMLS, have announced the third round of Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth (P3), with an application deadline of October 31, 2016. The estimated range of awards is $200,000 to $250,000, and the agencies will name up to 10 pilots to better serve youth between the ages of 16-24 who are low-income, homeless, in foster care, in the juvenile justice system, unemployed, not enrolled in school, or at risk of dropping out. P3 is a different kind of grant program. Group of partners that are already receiving federal funds from at least two of the participating agencies (ED, Labor, Justice, HHS, HUD, CNCS, and IMLS) apply together. They must request some level of flexibility around existing programmatic or reporting requirements related to those funds, in order to achieve larger gains for disconnected youth. Some examples of requested flexibility from Round 1 include certain Department of Labor grants, which specify that 75% of program funds must serve out-of-school youth, but partners wanted to serve disconnected youth in an integrated school-based model instead. Another example targeted certain Department of Education grants, which are specified for the higher grades, but might better serve older youth who are several years behind and only in 6th grade. A list of examples of eligible programs appears in the Grants.gov application package (URL below). Mandatory funds such as TANF, Medicaid, Social Security, Vocational Rehabilitation Services, and most Foster Care IV-E programs cannot be blended in a pilot, nor is there is authority to offer flexibilities for these programs under P3. These programs can, however, be "braided" to support a pilot. We know that state and public libraries are great partners in this kind of youth-serving work, and we would love to see more library representation in our P3 grantee pool. At present, Broward County in Florida and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo are the two examples of pilots using IMLS funds. If you or your subrecipients are interested, but not sure where to find other partners, you can check the URLs below for other federally-funded partners in your area. Note that the competition also includes separate categories of consideration for applicants that propose to serve disconnected youth in rural communities, in tribal communities, or in communities that recently have experienced civil unrest. A P3 webinar ("bidders conference") scheduled for next Thursday, August 25, 2016, from 2-3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, will cover application requirements and selection criteria. You can register in advance at the youth.gov/P3 site (URL below), and the recording will also be available later. We welcome you to forward this information to your partners and subrecipients and direct any questions to disconnectedyouth at ed.gov.

Don't let it go by! Message-ID: Library Director, Ridgefield (CT) Library The dynamic Ridgefield Library seeks an engaged and energized leader as its next Library Director. Working in partnership with the 16-member Board of Directors, a creative and committed staff, and 25,000 generous and supportive residents, the Library Director will lead the Library in providing a vision for 21st century services and programs.

In addition to the budget, a vital Friends organization provides funding for programs and other efforts outside the Library's operating budget. Ridgefield-Connecticut's #1 Town (named by Connecticut Magazine in 2013)-is a lively, picturesque New England community filled with neighbors who care about each other. Ridgefield citizens generously give of themselves, volunteering with the Library, the schools, sports programs, the environment, arts and culture and social causes.

The typewriter was pretty out of date and we just used our last ink cartridge. When I went to order a new one, I found out that they had been discontinued, making our typewriter pretty useless. I would really like to avoid purchasing another typewriter because we only use it for the one purpose. I was wondering if any other librarians have suggestions about new ways to make spine labels without the use of an electric typewriter. Thanks!

Movie Licensing USA has Disney, Pixar and most of the other major studios. MPLC has Fox Searchlight, 20th Century Fox and Dreamworks. Having both alleviates much of the concern as to whether something is covered. I wish both would lighten up on the advertising restrictions. If I had to choose one, I would stay with Movie Licensing USA because the draw for children's movies is significantly greater than movies for adults. The Disney/Pixar films can draw 150-250 parents and children for a single showing here. Our combined licensing cost is around $500 and we generally show about 36 movies a year with over 2,250 total attendance, so that comes out to about $14 per program or 22? per person for each program. Well worth the investment for both licenses. Hope this helps!

Surely that isn't the only library to offer such a service to the public. I've a teenaged boy in Port Huron and a nursing home in Lansing that could each benefit from this. Of course, being in the Michigan Humanities Council's Arts and Humanities touring directory, I recommended the mini-grant program, but would like to recommend more than just that. The nursing home is for profit, but in neither case is it likely they'll pay for a membership to GrantWatch.com. This is a resource worth traveling to access and could also benefit librarians willing to check such resources at a nearby center, so it's worth listing for all here. I tried prowling MEL without success.

Thank you to Kristy Doak for organizing that! You can find some of the slides from the webinar at the bottom of this page: http://www.milibraries.org/events/new-flsa-overtime-rule-webinar-what-does-this-mean-for-your-library/ During the webinar we found out that libraries are exempt from some of the requirements. We were relieved to learn, in particular, that we don't have to increase salaries for full-timers up to the $47,500+ (don't have the actual salary amount at my fingertips at the moment)... they maintain their benefits.. but they become hourly. We just have to make sure that when they do go over 40 hours that the extra time is entered as time and a half. Also learned there is a cap on the amount of comp time earned... but it's in the 200+ hour range, so not a nail-biter for us. I did send some follow up questions after the webinar related to: - a) if a holiday falls on a day when a staff member is *not* regularly scheduled to work they currently earn comp time for that holiday so that they can take another day off at some other time -- the question is, do we have to enter that as time and a half since they already worked a 40 hour work week. We think the answer would be no... they would just earn straight comp time for that holiday (8 hours, not 12), but we wanted to confirm that. - b) at times our staff swap Saturdays. Currently (because otherwise it is a scheduling mess) they only swap their Saturdays..... so the rest of the work week, including the day they would normally have off for working the Saturday remain intact. What that means is that one week they might work 32 hours while another week they work 48. The question we posed is, do we have to swap around their "off days" into the week where they swapped their Saturday? Again, it seems counter intuitive to us that we would have to do all that swapping around when it is the staff member who is the one initiating the schedule change, not administration (and again, it can become a scheduling mess to have to move multiple days around like that) Still waiting to hear answers on those questions. We also have been referring to this document for clarification as well: https://www.dol.gov/whd/overtime/final2016/webinarfaq_np.htm I'll be interested to see other responses you receive to your inquiry.

Parker in particular) and other writers have picked up the deceased author's series and continued to write it. Looking at our catalog, it looks like half of the libraries are under the original series author and half are under the new author's name. Currently, ours are strictly under the author's last name but they are numbered as part of the same series. However, I am considering putting them under the series author instead of the book author and I wanted to know what other libraries are doing... How are you cataloging these new additions to the series? Are you putting it under the new author in the fiction section because they are technically the author of the books and patrons might discover other books by that author at the same time? Or are you putting it under the original author that created the series because patrons would expect to find the whole series in the same section? Or are you putting the whole series under the series title to keep them together? Or are you doing something completely different?

This Month's Wisdom... "When sharing books with few words (such as point-and-name books), model to the parent how to extend the text by describing the object." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Focus on Babies and Young Toddlers! [baby with book] For the next three newsletters, the focus will be on various age groups targeted for increasing early literacy skills. This month the focus will be on babies and young toddlers (ages 0-2); next month ages two?s and three?s, and the following month ages four?s and five?s. A reminder that a webinar was already held for two of the groups above. June 14 was on babies and toddlers and August 22 covered children ages two and three. On November 10, the final group, ages four and five, will be highlighted. I am not going to repeat here what was covered in the webinars, and I highly recommend that if you are interested in the topic, that you access the archived webinars when you have time, and listen to them. You can find them here; scroll down to webinars, and click on the date. In the webinar for babies and toddlers, the following topics were covered: tips for incorporating books and activities on the five practices of ECRR (Talk, Sing, Read, Write and Play) into storytimes; what types of books are recommended for babies along with suggested titles; music and play activities for babies and toddlers, and fun activities that will help babies develop the small motor skills they will need later to learn to write. So mentioned here will be some other tips for baby storytimes that were not specifically covered in the webinar. First, here are some tips on conducting baby storytimes: ? This program is really for the caregiver. The librarian models how to share books, rhymes and songs with babies, encouraging the caregiver to continue these activities at home. ? This is not a ?simplified? toddler or preschool program ? rather the program needs to be developmentally appropriate for infants. ? Babytimes are commonly held for children newborn up to age two. ? Programs need not be thematically arranged ? the importance is sharing rhymes through the use of lap games and simple hand, feet and finger games, also using music and songs. ? When sharing books with few words (such as point-and-name books), model to the parent how to extend the text by describing the object. ? Generally, limit the group to ten to fifteen caregivers with their infants so that everyone can see. This can increase if you have a storytime pit, or different levels, so that no one is blocked. ? Have adults sit in a circle holding their baby in their lap. The librarian is part of the circle. ? Repeat rhymes so adults will learn movements. Clap after each rhyme and song. (Babies love to clap!) ? Keep a list of the rhymes and activities that you plan to use near you so that you can quickly move from one activity to another. ? You might want to use a doll or teddy bear to demonstrate the rhymes. ? Keep the program short ? approximately twenty minutes in length. After the structured program you can share other types of learning activities or have some developmentally appropriate toys for infants available for playtime. ? Provide a take-home sheet for caregivers with words to rhymes and songs used in the program. Encourage them to continue activities at home. ? Have a display of board, cloth, high-contrast, pattern, touch-and-feel, flap, and Mother Goose/nursery rhyme books that can be checked out and taken home. ? Programs are typically held in the morning or early evening hours due to baby nap times in the afternoon. ? A series of programs will be appreciated, but that is not necessary if staffing does not permit numerous programs. It is more important to reach as many caregivers as possible with the importance of sharing language and music to babies from birth. ? Consult the following resources: Campana, Kathleen, J.

If you have not done a baby storytime before, here is a suggested template: Opener (Song or Rhyme but song is suggested. Use same opener every week.) Book Appropriate for Babies (Share with group or provide copy for each parent to show to baby while you are reading a copy) Rhymes (3 or 4 ? different types of rhymes; repeat each one) Song (Live voice or recorded music ? but emphasis should always be on live voice) Book Appropriate for Babies (Share with group or provide copy for each parent to show to baby while you are reading a copy) Rhymes (3 or 4 ? different types of rhymes; repeat each one) Song (Live voice or recorded music ? but emphasis should always be on live voice) Closing Song or Rhyme Share Time (Optional ? can be educational toys, choosing books specifically pulled for storytime, open-ended art, etc.) New Book of the Month ________________________________ [Sing with Me] Sing With Me: Action Songs Every Child Should Know. By Naoko Stoop. Holt, 2016. ISBN: 978-0805099041. $16.99. Here is a new book for babies and young toddlers that you will definitely want in your collection. But, more importantly, it is a great book to recommend to new parents, or to give as a gift at a baby shower, or anytime you need a gift for a baby. We know the importance of singing with babies, and this book certainly encourages the practice. The thirteen songs are familiar ones including: Down by the Station; Head Shoulders, Knees and Toes; Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear; Pat-a-Cake; Twinkle Twinkle Little Star; Row, Row, Row Your Boat; Wheels on the Bus; If You?re Happy and You Know It; Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush; and some less familiar ones: What Does Your Kitty Say?; Rain is Falling Down; and Polly Put The Kettle On. What I like is that the motions given are developmentally appropriate for the ages for which the book is intended. Motions for preschoolers would be more complicated for these same songs, but here, the simplest of actions allows the youngest listener to be involved. My only quibble: though it is clear they expect the parent to do the difficult first finger motions in Itsy Bitsy Spider; how nice it would have been if a motion would have been given that a toddler could do ? simply wiggling fingers up and down, or climbing fingers up one arm. But this is a minor quibble, and everything else is appropriate. The illustrations, by the same artist who illustrated the well-received Red Knit Cap Girl, are perfect. Sweet animal characters join very young children in colorful spreads that were done in acrylics, ink, pencils and paper collage on plywood which gives the pictures a wonderful texture. ________________________________ Websites of the Month [baby singing] There are so many web sites that I would like to share with you in regards to babies, it is hard to limit them. But I will stick to four (one was already mentioned in the June issue, but I am listing again in case you missed it.) If you have listened to any of my webinars thus far, you will know that I love to sing. That does not necessarily mean I am good at it, but I know how important it is to share songs with the 0-5 set. Thank goodness there are others that agree, and here is a wonderful article on ?10 Ways Babies Learn When We Sing to Them.? The authors, singers who have recorded music for children, say singing to babies is important because it helps with: 1. Bonding 2. Handling transitions 3. Language comprehension 4. Learning new vocabulary 5. Recognition of rhythm and rhyme 6. Playing 7. Family Fun 8. Baby learning his/her name 9. Listening skills 10. Showing baby you love him/her! On a similar note, what are the advantages of sharing nursery rhymes with babies? In this article a case is made here for the benefit of nursery rhymes for the following skills: Cognitive, Verbal, Motor, Listening, Reading, Language, Social, Auditory, Imaginative, and Memory Skills. How does the state of Michigan compare with other US states in relation to reading to their babies daily, telling stories and singing daily? You can find out by clicking this link. There is also a link to detailed Michigan State Baby Facts on the same page. Don?t forget about this wonderful site I shared with you in June: Babies Need Words Every Day: Talk, Read, Sing, Play by The Association of Library Service for Children, a division of the American Library Association. There are wonderful free resources for you here. Reflections... ________________________________ [boy with mom] How often have you heard parents talk to their baby in a high-pitched voice saying nonsense words such as ?Goo-Goo? or sentences like ?Who's my li-i-ttle baybee?? Maybe you are a parent and have done the same yourself. There is a term for this type of high-pitched talk, "parentese," which includes using nonsense words, stretching out vowels when talking to a baby, using a sing-song language, and exaggerated facial expressions. It is not just an English-speaking habit ? parents all over the world engage in parentese. Patricia Kuhl, a University of Washington neuroscientist has done much research on how infants master the complex task of acquiring speech. She is a proponent of parentese as is the Center for Early Literacy Learning (CELL), funded by the U.S. Department of Education. See their article on this subject here. Despite its supporters, there are others who disagree, feeling parentese hinders language development. What could possibly be the benefits? Researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of Colorado at Denver actually conducted some studies of parents using parentese, but also parents who were considered depressed (information gained through interviews) and spoke in low, flat-toned voices. Research by these institutions found that children may actually be hindered in their learning over the long term if exposed only to flat low-pitched tones. Speaking parentese actually was shown to help babies learn the sounds of their native language. So, go ahead and use parentese and encourage parents attending your programs to do the same. But, more importantly, share with them how important it is to talk to their baby whenever they can. Even if baby is not old enough to respond, it is great for a parent to continue a running conversation with their child, talking while changing diapers, while doing chores around the house, while dressing baby etc. Well, that is, unless the baby is sleeping! ________________________________ About Sue: [Sue McCleaf Nespeca] Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children?s literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

Join the Small Business Information Center (SBIC) Librarian from the Cecil County Public Library (CCPL) to learn how your library can be a part of the formula for building and supporting a stronger local economy. You'll learn how CCPL has developed the SBIC since its inception in 2003, growing from a shelf of books to a personalized service, with examples and lessons they?ve learned along the way. Find out how your library can be an excellent resource for aspiring and experienced business owners. This session will cover the basics of collection development, classes, marketing, partnerships and more. Hear how libraries are not only helping launch small businesses, but as these businesses continue to thrive, they are able to give back to the community. For an awe-inspiring example, watch this story of CCPL?s role in a local small business with global impact.

Learn about her teen programming basics along with practical and actionable steps for doing a teen needs assessment, creating a teen space and hosting a teen book fest. Courtney will also introduce us to Skills for Teen Parenting (STeP), a program connecting teens with what they need to succeed as adults and parents: how to interview successfully, dress professionally, deal with conflict and time management, care for their child, postpone or prevent a second pregnancy, and more. Expanding from local success to state-wide implementation, the STeP program embodies a wonderful example of the replicable innovation brought to the field by Movers & Shakers. This webinar is part of a series highlighting the work of recent LJ Movers & Shakers and is hosted in collaboration with Library Journal.

Several times throughout the program the audience clapped and laughed at the stories. The program ran 1.5 hours. They were reasonably priced. They welcome inquiries about library programs at: 810-644-2372 or email pennysfromheaven1 at charter.net www.pennysfromheavenllc.com Arleen -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi everyone - I hope this finds you well. While most people focus on cleaning up their houses during the Spring, we are either very early or very late. We are looking for a new home for our family piano that we purchased around 15 years ago. It is a Bergmann upright piano by Young Chang (Heritage Series). It is a fine upright that has not been played for a number of years (unless you count the cats walking on the keys). It has a nice stool that matches the wood of the piano. It currently is sitting in my living room in Saline, Michigan. Having said all that, I would like to see if there is a Michigan library that might want this upright piano. I would ask for the library to pay for the move - and you would need to have it tuned upon arrival to its new home. But that is it. If we can find a home for this piano in a library - that would be all the payment we would like. If you are interested or have questions, please let me know via email. Here is a picture of the piano: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-SNnT9lIyVSYVdndnJUdmtlRUE/view?usp=sharing Thanks everyone.

In light of this I thought I would offer a bit of background information. The NPS has since September 1, 2015 operated a program called Every Kid In a Park https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ The goal of the program, in conjunction with the 100 year NPS anniversary this year, is to provide an opportunity for each and every 4th grade student across the country to experience their federal public lands and waters in person throughout the 2015-2016 school year. Officially the EKIP program ends August 31, 2016. Unofficially we have heard that the EKIP program will be renewed for an additional year and perhaps, multiple years beyond. We have no official word regarding an extension of the EKIP program beyond the current expiration ate of August 31, 2016. The EKIP program's sole focus is 4th grade students. The student is asked to follow the directions at https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ to create and print their EKIP pass. Of course this means that a parent is going to be involved, too for purposes of transportation to the venue, etc. But outreach to 4th grade students is the specific goal here. The MAP program's focus is more broad. A valid library card is the key to taking advantage of all MAP has to offer. The seven NPS sites in Michigan joined MAP on May 24, 2016. The difficulty involved trying to meld together two programs with different target audiences and goals. Library patrons of all ages have become accustomed to reserving and printing a MAP pass and receiving in exchange whatever benefit is spelled out by the venue on the printed MAP pass. The NPS requires that MAP patrons comply with the 4th grade focus of the program, and in addition to the printed MAP pass, that they also print and present the EKIP pass at its venues. These two requirements combined to create confusion and difficulty for NPS staff, library staff, and TLN staff too, as we get many of the questions from MAP patrons via our michiganactivitypass at gmail.com account. We, NPS and TLN that is, worked together throughout the summer in a spirit of cooperation and collaboration to come up with language for the MAP passes for the NPS sites that would facilitate the focus and goals of the NPS EKIP program within the MAP program. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts we were unable to reach that sweet spot that met the needs of both programs. We encourage you to feature the EKIP program link https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ on your library websites, and we would like to thank the National Park Service for their partnership with Michigan's public libraries via the Michigan Activity Pass program during the NPS centennial of Summer, 2016. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this. Thanks.

Therefore, effective at 7:00 a.m. today, Friday, August 26 I have removed the seven NPS sites from the Michigan Activity Pass website. Library patrons may no longer print new MAP passes for Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw National Historical Park, MotorCities National Heritage Area, North Country National Scenic Trail, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, River Raisin National Battlefield, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. MAP passes for these seven venues that are redeemed ONLY under the terms spelled out in the National Park Service Every Kid In a Park program https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ will continue to be honored until the expiration date on the printed MAP pass. Since the MAP software allows passes to be printed 14 days in advance, library patrons may have in their possession MAP passes with expiration dates up until and including, September 9. NPS retains the right to decline the MAP pass at any of its seven Michigan venues that is not redeemed according to the terms and conditions spelled out at https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ We will work to remove the NPS and EKIP logos from the MAP website, as well as from the advanced search function. TLN would like to thank the National Park Service, via the Every Kid In a Park program, for its partnership with the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The current edition of the rfp was issued in July, 2015 and went effective October 1 of that year. In previous cycles Barnes and Noble had been a participant in the Michigan statewide discounts, by virtue of a reply to the rfp. This time around, on account the rfp apparently landed on the desk (and in the inbox) of a person who had left the company, no response was forthcoming. BN was made aware of this discrepancy, and asked if they could participate by virtue of an addendum. There is precedent for this; I recall a time many years ago when Baker and Taylor neglected to reply to a book (av didn't much exist in those years) bid issued by what was then known as Wayne Oakland Library Federation. As WOLF did in excess of $1,000,000 annually in centralized acquisitions business with B&T in those days, we felt it prudent to issue an addendum for our then two county library system. The circumstances are a bit different now, but as many libraries n Michigan do business with BN we were on board with an addendum for them. You can see the BN reply by clicking on this link: http://tln.lib.mi.us/dept/technical-services/acq/files/The%20Library%20Network%20Coop%20Bid%20Library%20Books%2008.25.2016.pdf The link is also available on the TLN homepage at http://tln.lib.mi.us/dept/technical-services/acq/ Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this.

All, I am pleased to share with you that, a week shy of three months into this new MAP season (we went live May 24), you have now circulated half as many MAP passes as was the case for the previous twelve months (May 24, 2015 through May 23, 2016) combined. The number of hits to the MAP website for the first three months of 2016-2017 stands at a bit over 220,000. And our social media coordinator reports that the MAP Facebook page has now garnered in excess of 3,500 likes. This is all great news! Give yourselves a pat on the back, or a round of applause, or eat a handful of pistachios (that's what I would do) to celebrate. Going forward, let's keep it going! Although the start of school may be looming on the horizon (indeed, school started yesterday in the district where we live, which meant we could hear an even lighter pin dropping in our so quiet you can hear a pin drop neighborhood), most still have time to squeeze in a couple more weeks of family fun before the work begins. So keep that MAP promotion going! One operational piece of information. Emily Lake State Forest Campground http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?id=639&type=SFCG is closed until further notice on account damage from recent storms that hit the area. Emily Lake State Forest Campground is located about halfway between Ontonogan and Baraga, just south of Twin Lakes State Park https://www.google.com/maps/place/Emily+Lake/@46.7262121,-89.1749654,8.92z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4d57288a5cb14dcb:0xf5d84d1de0a18e2b!8m2!3d46.8589348!4d-88.8541832 We have made note of the closure on the More Info tab for this venue on the MAP website. We will update the MAP website when the storm damage has been repaired and Emily Lake State Forest Campground re-opens for campers.

At a recent management meeting, we discussed how our current form is not really effective in prompting our patrons to share actionable thoughts or ideas or even providing us with statistics to show us the impact our programs might be having on the community. We would really like to revamp this evaluation form and provide more options for patrons to give feedback, for instance, a digital evaluation in addition to paper. If any other libraries do regular evaluation forms during programs, we would really appreciate the opportunity to see what your forms look like. We would also love to hear any thoughts you have on what parts of your form help you collect important and actionable feedback from the community or determine if the program offered real enrichment to those who attended.

March 2017 [Bubble Gum Bubble Gum]The Library of Michigan has selected Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum written by Lisa Wheeler* and illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith for the March 2017 Michigan Reads! program. Last winter it was decided that the Michigan Reads program would change to March to coincide with "March is Reading Month." Materials will be developed this Fall, with a survey to request an author tour up by October 2016, and delivery of the materials will be in January/February of 2017. The next program with author tour will be March 2017 and then annually in March thereafter. *Please note that Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum was taken out of print in December 2016. We are looking into possible options for purchasing copies, but in the end it is up to the publisher if they choose to put it back in print. They are running a very unique special for us to have copies printed for distribution across the state. You are invited to shape your library or school's Michigan Reads! programming around the featured author, Lisa Wheeler, and her great variety of books; you may find her titles on her website.

All of our Harry Potter books are in the J Fiction section, and after considering the cataloging options for the newest title, I simply added it to the existing Harry Potter series collection, basically for the convenience of all. As Cindy noted, to do otherwise would be confusing to the patron. Our six copies are experiencing a healthy circulation with patrons of all ages!

We just received the new Harry Potter "book." I put it in quotes because it is a script, not a story in the more traditional sense. My inclination is to put it in the ADULT FICTION collection, although since it is a script, it could also go into non-fiction (822). There are only a couple of other libraries in MeL who have it, and they're split about 50/50. I appreciate any thoughts / suggestions. Thanks in advance.

There is a great deal of interest in Library Director evaluations. I have recieved a couple of responses with evaluations attached. I have received far more requests from individuals that would like to have teh compilation forwarded to them. I am hoping that I can collect a few more samples to share with this group. Please consider taking a few moments to attach and send one that we could add to the collection. Have a beautiful holiday weekend!
