The changes permeate all aspects of business: running operations, designing and building products, overseeing human resources and education, tracking performance and making projections and strategies. More than those, however, marketing is one of the areas most impacted by the rise of technology in recent years. Taking advantage of that technology and the avenues it creates for engagement between brands and consumers is at the heart of digital marketing. Join us as we look forward at just a few of the trends in digital marketing that we believe small businesses should be paying attention to in the year to come. We?ll explore what the trends are and some simple ideas for jumping on and taking advantage of them. The trends we?ll discuss will be: Digital marketing ? it can no longer be ignored Content marketing ? it?s more important than ever Targeting + Segmentation = Personalization Mobile (experience and advertising) Beyond big data ? make decisions Join us!

The bequest came from the Irving Schensul estate that was divided between the Congregation of Moses and Kalamazoo Public Library after the passing of Schensul?s nephew, Eugene Colef, in July 2016. Prior to his passing in September 2001, Irving Schensul was a devoted Kalamazoo Public Library patron. Every morning when the doors opened at Central Library in downtown Kalamazoo, Mr. Schensul would arrive to read the newspapers, and to chat with the librarians about literature and his passion ? finance and investments. Staff looked forward to his visits and made sure to have his preferred reading materials ready for him each morning. When Schensul passed away, he bequeathed more than his estate to his nephew Eugene Colef, he also instilled in him the same appreciation for his local library. David Devries, a librarian for Kalamazoo Public Library remembers Mr. Schensul and Mr. Colef fondly: ?In my earliest days as a library aide, I would sometimes work at the circulation desk in the mornings and Mr. Schensul would always be there when the doors opened. Most of the time he would go directly to reference, but occasionally he would stop at the circulation desk or read from the magazines that were directly in front of it. He was quiet, but always pleasant.? ?Mr. Colef was also a very loyal KPL patron. I waited on him at the circulation desk and later at reference desk. He also was very quiet, but was here often and checked out a lot of books. Although I had observed both Mr. Schensul and Mr. Colef for decades, I didn?t realize they were related until we were notified of the bequest. Based on their generosity, it is apparent both of these gentlemen enjoyed coming to the library and were happy with our services.? While the staff of Kalamazoo Public Library prides themselves on customer service and being a cornerstone of Kalamazoo, a bequest like this is a poignant reminder that libraries have a significant impact in the community, and in the lives of the people they serve. ?What sometimes may seem to be rather ordinary, daily transaction to library staff can be highly meaningful to the patron. Mr. Schensul and Mr. Colef?s dedication to Kalamazoo Public Library even after their passing, are only two examples of that,? said Devries. Kalamazoo Public Library Director Ann Rohrbaugh echoed David Devries? sentiments, ?Staff who were here when Mr. Schensul was a patron remember his enthusiasm for business and current affairs and enjoyed lively discussions about both with him. We are excited and humbled to receive this bequest and intend on utilizing the endowment in a manner that will honor Mr. Schensul?s memory and lifelong devotion to Kalamazoo Public Library.?

Adams, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Last month, while on a trip to Seoul, South Korea, he made a case for study of the humanities and its importance in the education process. The STEM field, (science, technology, engineering, and math) has been promoted as the way to go for students seeking careers that are growing and in-demand. But, the value of humanities is often lost in that conversation. He stated in part, "We under-sell the vocational relevance of humanities..." Successful students and employees are effective communicators. "One of the key communication skills is what he called the "cultural competence," the ability to understand and work with partners with different values and ideas." This got me thinking about coverage of the humanities in the MeL Databases and websites. Are we achieving our goal of providing access for Michigan residents to a balanced core collection that includes (among other things) coverage of humanities topics? I think the answer is yes. Britannica School, Gale Virtual Reference Library, Michigana, and Research in Context are some of the resources where students can research human culture as we experience, understand and record our world. So whether it's philosophy, cultures, languages, or literature, MeL databases are there to help. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit http://mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Eunice Eunice C.

Message-ID: Greetings! You can now find the December listing of library related webinars at https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/49-free-december-webinars-for-library-staff.html. See below for a few highlights. December 8 Evaluating Learning: What You Measure is What You Get (InSync Training) In this session we'll look at the importance of planning evaluation items with solid objectives and clear outcomes in mind. You will explore the ways in which assessments can end up failing to measure what designers and organizations intend. December 16 Taking Time to Teach Technology to Technophobes (Nebraska Library Commission) L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has adopted a program called "Tech Tuesdays" that allows staff to spend more time with patron's technology questions. We offer informal walk-in hours to answer patron's questions about their personal devices, such as e-readers, tablets, laptops and smartphones. Topics include how to load e-books, apps and music onto devices and basic computer and internet search skills. This session will address branding, marketing, promotion of the program and service models seen at other public libraries such as workshops, appointments and working with partners to provide technology instruction outside of the library. We will also share our challenges, successes and the immediate response we've received from our patrons. December 17 Improving Service for People with Disabilities (Librarian411) Join Tonya Hays-Martin as she guides participants in the training and other resources available on the Librarian411.org website. Tonya, Librarian at the Fulton State Hospital, was instrumental in developing the Librarian411.org web-based training program to help library staff more effectively serve people with disabilities.

East Lansing has for many years had computers, with age appropriate learning games on them and the Internet, in the children's area, however, since our remodel we have AWE computers and iPADs with early childhood literacy resources on them. The computers are now geared to children. We have gotten complaints from a group of parents about the children's computers in the children's area of the library. I am wondering what libraries have computers in their children's areas and if you have received complaints?

Please contact your state representative today and ask them to support SB 579 and SB 619-624. These bills will ensure that dedicated library millages go to support the library. Email, call or tweet your message. Add your story to MLA's talking points and tell them how tax capture relief will help your library serve your patrons. Encourage your representative to contact MLA or GCSI with further questions. To contact your representative go to http://cqrcengage.com/alami/action and click the "Take Action" button. What is Tax Capture? There are many forms of tax capture and they go by many names. You might be most familiar with Downtown Development Authorities (DDA), or Tax Increment Financing Authorities (TIFA), Brownfield Redevelopment or Corridor Improvement among others. These entities capture millions of dedicated library millage dollars each year. Voters go to the polls and choose to support their libraries by approving a dedicated library millage. These locally dedicated taxes approved by voters for library funding are being captured against the libraries' choice often without the locally voting taxpayer's knowledge or approval. These bills remove the automatic tax capture and allow for libraries to discuss tax capture projects and make a decision to opt in. It requires the tax captures to be transparent in their activities, explain their value to library boards and then request an opt-in from libraries. If you have questions, please contact us at 517-394-2774 or MLA at milibraries.org. Thank you for your support and quick action on this important issue impacting library funding in the state of Michigan.

I was asked to share my findings. Quite a few libraries use SenSource. "We use a SenSource TB12 counter. Easy to install. The software used to get reports/data is a bit confusing and clunky. Batteries are expensive and last 6 to 12 months." "Sen Source, Thermal Imaging Master Sensor since October 2013. The unit is over our front doors with a 60 degree lens and Ethernet com port. The library paid $2,064.88 in 2013. The unit send and Excel spread sheet every morning with the total by the hour. I then cut and paste the information into an Excel spread sheet totaling the month and year." ?Accurate One? people counter from an Australian company called Total Count. Their website is http://www.total-count.com/ . They are very reliable, easy to install, accurate, etc. Total price with shipping is $227.00, and they arrive in about 10 days. I think I have installed about 6 of them over that past 4-5 years with no problems." -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director *"Sometimes it's fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am attaching the entry form & details for Michigan, which is also available online at www.mi.gov/summerreading. The winning teens' home library will receive a $50.00 certificate from Demco. Videos will be judged by the Youth Services Advisory Committee and entries are due to me no later than January 31st. If a teen submits a completed form to you, please scan & email me a copy or you can send it by snail-mail to me at: P.O. Box 30007, Lansing, MI 48909. Additional details are also available at www.cslpreads.org. Please provide entry forms to your teens & engage with them on their entries. These videos also make great PSA's for Summer Reading in your community. Note about Age Limits and CREATOR vs PARTICIPANT: Due to terms of service agreements and age limits set with sites such as YouTube, all video CREATORS must be between the ages of 13 and 18. A video CREATOR is a teen that helped develop the concept, script, sound effects, filming, and so forth - and is whose name is therefore listed on the Member State Winning Video Submission form. Anyone under the age of 13 OR over the age of 18 is allowed to be a PARTICIPANT in the video as a cast member or film assistant operating at the direction of a teen film CREATOR. PARTICIPANTS are not eligible for recognition from CSLP. Libraries and/or states wishing to reward PARTICIPANTS who are outside of the contest eligibility are welcome to do so any manner that they see fit. For example, a library with a winning video may wish to offer a certificate and free book to teen group members age 11 or 12 who assisted with the video but cannot be listed as a CREATOR of the video. The same can be said of young adult volunteers or library staff/parents who appear as a cast member in the video.

Now, they've announced similar enhancements to MeL eResource Research in Context (found in the Kids Gateway under Homework Helpers and Teens Gateway under Homework Help). "Approximately 750 videos, including videos on topics frequently studied in middle school earth science and physical science courses, have been added to Research In Context. Examples include: biomes, electromagnetism, motion, tectonic plates, photosynthesis, and several others." Available videos will be listed as a format type after selecting a subject or on the results page from a specific search. Videos are generally just a few minutes long and include content providers such as NOVA, AP (Associated Press), and Visual Learning Systems, Inc. Remember, while Research in Context includes content for literature, social studies, science, and history, these videos are geared to middle school earth science and physical science topics. Want to let your patrons/followers know about this great resource? Feel free to use this message: "Michiganders - Research in Context has 750 earth & physical science videos in Kids & Teens Homework Help @meldotorg http://kids.mel.org/HomeworkHelpers " MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit http://mel.org.

Order your Labor Law posters for 2017 now! Message-ID: Greetings, If you haven't reserved your poster set yet, the deadline is is this week. As you may know, the minimum wage rate in Michigan is increasing on January 1, 2017 to $8.90 per hour. The Michigan Chamber has received the final version of the 2017 Michigan Minimum Wage and Overtime poster, so the Woodlands Library Cooperative is accepting orders for the 2017 poster sets. These sets also contain the two mandatory federal updates that went into effect in August 2016 to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) notices. There have been a few questions about the FLSA updates: The FLSA poster has actually never included the salary exemption amount. The poster just contains a general overtime statement that employees should be paid 1.5 times their regular rate for any hours worked over 40 in one week. (This statement is the same as what appeared on the previous poster version.) The mandatory revision to the FLSA notice back in August was designed to add a new section on required break time for nursing mothers) and to eliminate the outdated information on the maximum fine amount for noncompliance with the law. If you are interested in taking advantage of this group purchase, each poster set is $24 and includes updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. This will let you tell the many other vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal and keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your poster set here: https://goo.gl/forms/YRsyaM3dCOKKi1tg2 *Deadline is Friday, December 16, 2016*. We'll ship posters (and invoices) out to you as soon as we receive them.

I thought some of you may find it helpful. There are ideas from a recent conference panel that outline some descriptions of partnerships that the California library community is thinking about. You can read the full article online here: http://knowledgequest.aasl.org/beginning-library-partnership-conversation/ The Beginning of a Library Partnership Conversation BY KATE MACMILLAN School and public library partnerships were the buzzwords at last month's California Library Association conference in Sacramento. A packed room of librarians gathered to discuss and debate the pros and cons of school and public library partnerships. There was a panel of five presenters that included a representative/librarian from the California Department of Education, a County Office of Education librarian, a teacher librarian, a public librarian, and a district librarian. During the session the panel encouraged everyone to talk about what is working, what's not, what needs to happen to move forward, and how we can work together to make it happen. Once the audience understood that they were part of this conversation, they quickly shared ideas, dreams, and concerns.

Libraries Transforming Communities: Models for Change follows up on Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC), a two-year initiative offered in 2014-15 by ALA and the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation that explored and developed the Harwood Institute's "Turning Outward" approach in public libraries. With this second phase of LTC, ALA will broaden its focus on library-led community engagement by offering professional development training in community engagement and dialogue facilitation models created by change-making leaders such as Everyday Democracy and National Issues Forums. LTC: Models for Change is made possible through a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. _______________ Sarah Ostman Communications Manager Public Programs Office American Library Association 312-280-5061 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Another suggested that adding a MeLCat search widget could be equally useful. Actually, you can do both with the tools available on the Library of Michigan's site under MeL Information, MeL Toolbars, Widgets and Helper Applications. We offer quite a variety from Britannica Apps to a MeLCat keyword search plug-in for Firefox. Promoting MeL on your website reinforces the idea that your library (public, school, academic, special) is the place for community members to start when looking for resources for personal enrichment, research, and school assignments and connecting with the larger Michigan library family. Thanks! MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit http://mel.org.

Keeps the little guys busy while grownups check their email. A boon to all of us, and it's popular with the kiddos too. We have duplos because we have the table for little unsupervised kids while their parents are glued to the screen and we were worried about choking too. No choking at all and it's been over 5 years. It would be really, really hard to choke on a duplo....they're just too big. We do have Family Lego Day once a month in the youth services department with regular size legos, but in that situation bigger kids (and often parents) are building away in a supervised situation.

Message-ID: <000001d25a03$77cf1ef0$676d5cd0$@gossagesager.com> Enoch Pratt Free Library: A Tradition of Innovation The historic Enoch Pratt Free Library of Baltimore City is seeking applications for the position of Chief Executive Officer. The Pratt Library is one of the oldest free public library systems in the United States serving the 622,000+ residents of the City of Baltimore through its twenty-one branch locations. In an unusually expanded mission, it also serves the 6,000,000 residents of Maryland as the State Library Resource Center . The Pratt continues its journey by strategically expanding its services and programs. Governed by combined Boards of Trustees and Directors, served by a seasoned staff of 493, and sustained by a $40.5 million annual operating budget, Enoch Pratt Free Library seeks a CEO who has the desire and ability to weave these resources together to maintain and enhance its role as a vital partner to a City in transformation. The Enoch Pratt is currently renovating its Central Library which opened in 1932 as a ground-breaking 'open to the people' library. The State of Maryland has committed more than $90 million to this renovation, and the trustees and directors have raised an additional $15 million. We expect this renovation to be completed in 2019, and we believe the renovated Central Library will be a powerful statement about the critical importance of urban libraries in building a literate, well informed, and culturally rich future. Dedicated patrons, volunteers, and donors enthusiastically support the work of the Enoch Pratt Free Library as it upholds library traditions and embraces the challenges of a rapidly changing library world. Responsibilities. A comprehensive statement of the responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer can be found on the following link: position description . Among those responsibilities, the most compelling and immediate are the following: * Understanding the full scope of Pratt Library and the State Library Resource Center programs, resources, and functions * Engagement of the entire staff with the assistance of senior management staff * Continued implementation of the 2017-19 strategic plan * Immersion in the details and decisions of the renovation of the Central Library as well as the long range renovation of the branches * Initiation of a network of working relationships with the Board, the State Library Resource Center, the wider Maryland library community, and City and State officials * Mastery of the Library's budget process and funding and development efforts Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master of Library and Information Science from an ALA-accredited program, 10 years in library work and at least 5 years of senior library management (or an equivalent background and experience that will enable the candidate to effectively perform the responsibilities of the position). Vital to success are the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with staff, board and stakeholders; strong organizational skills; the ability to integrate emerging technologies with traditional library resources; and experience in strategic planning, fiscal management and resource development. Preferred qualifications include: a PhD in Library and Information Science (or other relevant advanced degree), experience working in a multi-branch urban library system, and prior success reporting to a governing board and working closely with City and State Officials. Baltimore. Known as a city of neighborhoods, the past and the future intersect in Baltimore . Many historic communities showcase Baltimore's rich history and wealth of diversity with many significant properties listed on the National Register; Under Armour's forward-looking Port Covington development is among the largest urban redevelopment projects in the country and the city's historic Inner Harbor boasts walkable neighborhoods, tourist attractions and commercial development. A tech-savvy entrepreneurial community is emerging alongside Baltimore's robust network of colleges and universities, world-class museums, internationally renowned symphony orchestra, trendy music and art venues, beloved professional sports teams and varied culinary choices. As with many urban cities, Baltimore has distinct challenges as well as powerful assets and many of Baltimore's citizens suffer a disparity of income, education and opportunity. The Enoch Pratt Free Library continues to be a vital, important partner in Baltimore's determination to meet these challenges.

The position offers a hiring salary range of $160,000-205,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

We've been noticing that as parents stop by to pick up their kids around 5 pm, they tend to pull up to the curb right outside our entrances and wait, blocking walkways and driveways, which can inconvenience other library users. If you experience a similar pick-up rush, how have you dealt with this? Has signage helped? Our building monitor will ask people to move their cars, but "traffic cop" shouldn't need to be one of her duties. Thanks in advance for any and all ideas!

[every child ready to read] Every Child Ready to Read in Michigan - December 2016 In This Issue: * Training Staff on ECRR Principles * New Books of the Month * Website of the Month * Reflections... This Month's Wisdom... "...early literacy practices are natural things to do with children that will lay the important foundation so that a child will be able to learn to read easily when arriving at school." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Training Staff on ECRR Principles [boy]One of the workshops in the Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) Manual is a workshop to train library staff, including the library director and other administrative staff, youth services staff, and others who may be involved in planning for or delivering early literacy programs. The workshop is intended to last under an hour and incorporates background information on ECRR and an overview of the Parent Workshop. Here are just a few key points that are covered in this workshop: A. To become successful readers, children need an understanding that written letters (a code) represent spoken sounds. B. Children also need comprehension skills to understand the meaning conveyed by print. C. Children develop decoding and comprehension skills through interactions with adults and their environment. D. Learning letter names and sounds is critical to learning how to decode, or read, words. E. Print conventions like knowing how to hold a book, turn pages, and follow sentences on a page help a beginning reader, but they are not a predictor of later reading achievement. F. Experiences that develop oral language, phonological awareness, and letter knowledge play an important role in helping children get ready to read. G. Reading together with children continues to be one of the most powerful ways to develop early literacy skills H. How parents read to children makes a difference. Talking about books and extending the conversation about a story by asking and answering questions leads to greater learning. I. Repeatedly reading the same book helps children learn vocabulary, how stories are structured, and other literacy skills. J. Reading and writing go together. Writing activities help children learn about letter names and sounds, that print has meaning, and that writing has a purpose. K. The environment influences learning. Spaces at the library (and at home) can be organized to support the development of early literacy skills. How space is arranged and used affects how often and how long children engage in early literacy activities. For more information on this workshop (and to see actual PowerPoint slides that are included) you may wish to listen to the webinar that was offered in March of this year and that was recorded. You can find the webinar here: http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-62245-370596--,00.html (March 8, 2016 recording.) ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Todd Parr]Be Who You Are! Todd Parr. Little, Brown, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-316-26523-2. $17.99. It's true that Todd has addressed this theme before with his 2001 book It's Okay to Be Different, but quite frankly, I have not seem much of a change from 2001 with children in relation to issues of bullying or accepting others that are different from them in some way. Unfortunately, there still seems to be a need for this book. Parr's usual bright colored child-like appealing illustrations are in evidence here too. The last page of the book pretty much sums up the rest of the text. "It doesn't matter what color you are, where you are from, or who's in your family. Everyone needs to be loved. Always love yourself and just be who you are!" [Bill Martin Jr]Lift-the-Tab: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? 50th Anniversary Edition. Bill Martin Jr. Holt, 2016. ISBN: 978-1-62779-723-8. $13.99 Why buy this version of Brown Bear...? I think this version will be perfect for children's narrative skills (child participation.) Let's face it --- when you ask children "Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?" you have to turn the page before children can answer that question (unless they already have the book memorized.) Now, you do not have to turn the page --- you simply point to the tab (red bird) and they can guess the answer before you turn the page. Granted, this is just a slightly larger board book size, so it might be better for one-on-one reading or for a small group, unless you have the funds to buy multiple copies and parents can share with their child in storytime while your read the book. On another note, because of the 50th anniversary, a new board book version has been released also. It is slightly larger than the original board book (which is great) but the cover is also padded. What a wonderful gift this would be for a baby! ________________________________ Website of the Month [Reading Rockets]Often library staff that are not children's specialists will need to assist patrons/parents who have children and will be asked for reading tips for their young children. When training or sharing information with other staff members, you might want to recommend the excellent Reading Rockets website. If you are not familiar with Reading Rockets, you might want to spend a little time exploring their site as there is an incredible amount of useful information. Reading Rockets is described as "a national multimedia literacy initiative offering information and resources on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help." The following links would be useful for ALL library staff to be aware of, but also the tips could be reproduced on bookmarks to hand out to parents or distribute at programs. Most importantly the information is given in numerous languages including Spanish, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Haitian Creole, Hmong, Korean, Navajo, Russian, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Here are just a few tips under each age group. A. Reading Tips for Parents of Babies: http://www.readingrockets.org/article/reading-tips-parents-babies A few of the recommended tips: 1. Keep books where your baby can reach them 2. Talk with your baby all day long 3. Develop a daily routine (and make reading a part of it) B. Reading Tips for Parents of Toddlers: http://www.readingrockets.org/article/reading-tips-parents-toddlers 1. Don't expect your toddler to sit still for a book 2. Keep reading short, simple and often 3. Encourage play that involves naming, describing, and communicating C. Reading Tips for Parents of Preschoolers: http://www.readingrockets.org/article/reading-tips-parents-preschoolers 1. Read with fun in your voice 2. Talk about writing too 3. Point out print everywhere ________________________________ Reflections... [Training]Justifying Early Literacy Training to Library Directors or Administrators Just this month (December) I completed several days of training to librarians that were from various library systems in the state of Florida. On the first day, I stood dumbfounded when an attendee said that her library director reluctantly allowed her to attend my workshop because he felt early literacy training was not necessary. In his opinion, a child would be taught how to read and write when entering school and there was no reason to "teach" the child before arriving at school. For one of the first times in my life, I was speechless. This was a library director of a large public library system who made this comment. For the rest of the day, whenever I made a point, or quoted relevant research, I would find myself saying "You need to tell your library director this." Just to be clear, I also agree that we do not "teach" a child any of the early literacy skills. The early literacy practices are natural things to do with children that will lay the important foundation so that a child will be able to learn to read easily when arriving at school. Seriously though, if a library director feels this way, then it will be very difficult to center your programming for young children around early literacy practices. In this small space, it is difficult to list all the reasons why early literacy programming is important, but here are just a few statistics from research that might be useful. 1. "Roughly 35% of children in the United States enter school without the skills necessary for learning to read." Carnegie Foundation of New York. Starting Points: Meeting the Needs of Our Youngest Children. Waldorf, MD: Carnegie Corp of NY, 1994. 2. "Research shows the development of early literacy skills through early experiences with books and stories is critically linked to a child's success in learning to read. Children who are read to from an early age have a larger vocabulary and better language skills when they start school. " Contacts of Literacy: What Children Learn from Learning to Read Books in W. H. Teale Emergent Literacy: Writing and Reading, Norwood, NJ: Ablex, 1986. 3. "Research shows that children with larger vocabularies have higher school achievement." Duke, Neil and Annie Moses. 10 Research-Tested Ways to Build Children's Vocabulary, Scholastic Professional Paper. Scholastic, 2003. 4. "Children's phonological awareness begins to develop during the preschool years. Unless children are given help from teachers, parents, or other adults, those with low levels of phonological awareness will continue to be delayed in this skill from the late preschool period forward." Marilyn Adams. Beginning to Read: Thinking and Learning About Print. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1990. ________________________________ ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

The workshop is intended to last under an hour and incorporates background information on ECRR and an overview of the Parent Workshop. Here are just a few key points that are covered in this workshop: > > A. To become successful readers, children need an understanding that written letters (a code) represent spoken sounds. > > B. Children also need comprehension skills to understand the meaning conveyed by print. > > C. Children develop decoding and comprehension skills through interactions with adults and their environment. > > D. Learning letter names and sounds is critical to learning how to decode, or read, words. > > E. Print conventions like knowing how to hold a book, turn pages, and follow sentences on a page help a beginning reader, but they are not a predictor of later reading achievement. > > F. Experiences that develop oral language, phonological awareness, and letter knowledge play an important role in helping children get ready to read. > > G. Reading together with children continues to be one of the most powerful ways to develop early literacy skills > > H. How parents read to children makes a difference. Talking about books and extending the conversation about a story by asking and answering questions leads to greater learning. > > I. Repeatedly reading the same book helps children learn vocabulary, how stories are structured, and other literacy skills. > > J. Reading and writing go together. Writing activities help children learn about letter names and sounds, that print has meaning, and that writing has a purpose. > > K. The environment influences learning. Spaces at the library (and at home) can be organized to support the development of early literacy skills. How space is arranged and used affects how often and how long children engage in early literacy activities. > > For more information on this workshop (and to see actual PowerPoint slides that are included) you may wish to listen to the webinar that was offered in March of this year and that was recorded. You can find the webinar here: http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160- 62245-370596--,00.html (March 8, 2016 recording.) > > ________________________________ > New Books of the Month > > [Todd Parr]Be Who You Are! Todd Parr. Little, Brown, 2016. > ISBN: 978-0-316-26523-2. $17.99. > > It's true that Todd has addressed this theme before with his 2001 book It's Okay to Be Different, but quite frankly, I have not seem much of a change from 2001 with children in relation to issues of bullying or accepting others that are different from them in some way. Unfortunately, there still seems to be a need for this book. > > Parr's usual bright colored child-like appealing illustrations are in evidence here too. The last page of the book pretty much sums up the rest of the text. "It doesn't matter what color you are, where you are from, or who's in your family. Everyone needs to be loved. Always love yourself and just be who you are!" > > [Bill Martin Jr]Lift-the-Tab: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? 50th Anniversary Edition. Bill Martin Jr. Holt, 2016. ISBN: 978-1-62779- 723-8. $13.99 > > Why buy this version of Brown Bear...? I think this version will be perfect for children's narrative skills (child participation.) Let's face it --- when you ask children "Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?" you have to turn the page before children can answer that question (unless they already have the book memorized.) Now, you do not have to turn the page --- you simply point to the tab (red bird) and they can guess the answer before you turn the page. Granted, this is just a slightly larger board book size, so it might be better for one-on-one reading or for a small group, unless you have the funds to buy multiple copies and parents can share with their child in storytime while your read the book. On another note, because of the 50th anniversary, a new board book version has been released also. It is slightly larger than the original board book (which is great) but the cover is also padded. What a wonderful gift this would be for a baby! > > ________________________________ > Website of the Month > > [Reading Rockets]Often library staff that are not children's specialists will need to assist patrons/parents who have children and will be asked for reading tips for their young children. When training or sharing information with other staff members, you might want to recommend the excellent Reading Rockets website. If you are not familiar with Reading Rockets, you might want to spend a little time exploring their site as there is an incredible amount of useful information. Reading Rockets is described as "a national multimedia literacy initiative offering information and resources on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help." > > The following links would be useful for ALL library staff to be aware of, but also the tips could be reproduced on bookmarks to hand out to parents or distribute at programs. Most importantly the information is given in numerous languages including Spanish, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Haitian Creole, Hmong, Korean, Navajo, Russian, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. > > Here are just a few tips under each age group. > > A. Reading Tips for Parents of Babies: http://www.readingrockets.org/article/reading-tips-parents- babies > > A few of the recommended tips: > > 1. Keep books where your baby can reach them > > 2. Talk with your baby all day long > > 3. Develop a daily routine (and make reading a part of it) > > B.

Point out print everywhere > > ________________________________ > Reflections... > [Training]Justifying Early Literacy Training to Library Directors or Administrators > > Just this month (December) I completed several days of training to librarians that were from various library systems in the state of Florida. On the first day, I stood dumbfounded when an attendee said that her library director reluctantly allowed her to attend my workshop because he felt early literacy training was not necessary. In his opinion, a child would be taught how to read and write when entering school and there was no reason to "teach" the child before arriving at school. For one of the first times in my life, I was speechless. This was a library director of a large public library system who made this comment. For the rest of the day, whenever I made a point, or quoted relevant research, I would find myself saying "You need to tell your library director this." Just to be clear, I also agree that we do not "teach" a child any of the early literacy skills. The early literacy practices are natural things to do with children that will lay the important foundation so t! > hat a child will be able to learn to read easily when arriving at school. > > Seriously though, if a library director feels this way, then it will be very difficult to center your programming for young children around early literacy practices. In this small space, it is difficult to list all the reasons why early literacy programming is important, but here are just a few statistics from research that might be useful. > > 1. "Roughly 35% of children in the United States enter school without the skills necessary for learning to read." > > Carnegie Foundation of New York. Starting Points: Meeting the Needs of Our Youngest Children. Waldorf, MD: Carnegie Corp of NY, 1994. > > 2. "Research shows the development of early literacy skills through early experiences with books and stories is critically linked to a child's success in learning to read. Children who are read to from an early age have a larger vocabulary and better language skills when they start school. " > > Contacts of Literacy: What Children Learn from Learning to Read Books in W. H. Teale Emergent Literacy: Writing and Reading, Norwood, NJ: Ablex, 1986. > > 3. "Research shows that children with larger vocabularies have higher school achievement." > > Duke, Neil and Annie Moses. 10 Research-Tested Ways to Build Children's Vocabulary, Scholastic Professional Paper. Scholastic, 2003. > > 4. "Children's phonological awareness begins to develop during the preschool years. Unless children are given help from teachers, parents, or other adults, those with low levels of phonological awareness will continue to be delayed in this skill from the late preschool period forward." > > Marilyn Adams.

STORM is a multimedia presentation of shipwreck history that combines Ric's wonderful presentation and gigantic slide show with a LIVE rock band that performs original shipwreck-themed music. It's like having a rock band in your history class! Ric also does a solo presentation that is first class. We had him speak solo and then booked a STORM program at Willard Library in Battle Creek.

And now that homework and research assignments are completed for the term, we can pursue our own interests - not assigned ones. A likely topic could be winter holidays and celebrations - the Winter Solstice, Christmas, New Year's Eve and Day, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah (Hannukah, Chanukah), Three Kings Day (aka Epiphany), Chinese New Year, and Bodhi Day/Rohatsu, among others. You might want to find out the meanings, origins, traditions, foods, and rituals for them. MeLCat is a fabulous place to start. Doing even a basic search for any of these celebrations can yield articles, DVDs/videos, books of all kinds, music recordings, audiobooks, and images. Remember to use the "Refine by" options in the left margin to see all of your options. Here are the search results for winter solstice. Not to be outdone, MeL databases Britannica School, Research in Context, and eBook K-8 Collection offer great resources, and, don't forget the Topic Finder tool found in InfoTrac and OneFile to discover related topics for these holidays. How long is your holiday/winter break? Not long enough when you have MeL.org and MelCat resources at your fingertips! MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit http://mel.org.

Under the State Constitution, public officers are required to take an oath of office that includes the statement that they will "...solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state". http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-constitution-xi.pdf Whatever this person's objection is to making that statement, it does not appear that library board members have the option of not taking the oath of office. Also, you can check with your local state legislator to see if they will contact the Attorney General's office to see if there are any existing AG opinions that address this particular question. This question may have already been raised and answered by the AG's office. As always, that's my "I'm not an attorney" take on the question.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Greetings! Public library services put people on the path to literacy, technological know-how, or a better job - but what we are often missing is the data to show it. Outcome measurement helps libraries answer the questions: How can we better measure and demonstrate our community impact? What good did our services do? Would you like to implement outcome measurement in your library? Join us for a Project Outcome Regional Training, a full day, in-person workshop near you! At this workshop, a Project Outcome trainer will facilitate a deep-dive into outcome measurement using Project Outcome tools. You will learn how to deploy outcome measures in your library, collect and use resulting data, and leverage the project's support network to ensure successful adoption. Be a part of a cohort of public libraries interested in implementing Project Outcome to drive change, influence decision making, and demonstrate the true impact of their library's programs and services on the community. The goal of Project Outcome is to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services. Project Outcome, an initiative of the Public Library Association, provides simple tools and a supportive online community of library leaders to help public libraries collect insights and data about all the ways we are meeting the needs of our communities. This understanding can improve the way public libraries do business - from allocating existing resources more efficiently to advocating for new resources more effectively. For more information about Project Outcome, visit www.ProjectOutcome.org. Prior to this workshop, you will: * Complete a pre-workshop assignment including introductory materials and your library's strategic goals. During this workshop, you will: * Review Project Outcome surveys and tools. * Identify goals for outcome measurement in your library. * Explore best practices for selecting and administering Project Outcome surveys. * Examine processes to use outcome measurement results for ongoing programming changes and decision-making processes. * Identify best practices for using outcome measurement results for advocacy, support, and fundraising. * Discuss outcome measurement as it relates to strategic planning for the library and the community. * Create a plan for implementing Project Outcome. Following this workshop, you will: * Be invited to participate in two follow-up virtual meetings to continue learning, collaboration, and to receive support from the Project Outcome trainer and peers in your cohort. Who should attend: * This workshop is intended for: Library directors, managers, supervisors or staff who will be responsible for managing or overseeing the implementation of Project Outcome. This may vary depending on the size and organization of your library. * We recommend that you send as many as [1-3] staff members from your library or library system.

Additionally, MCL 168.363 states that Township Officers are included within this Constitutional provision. And MCL 168.358 lists Public Library Board members ("Directors") as one of several "Public Offices" included within Townships. If the Board member in question does not take the Oath - and file appropriate documentation of that Oath, then it is possible that he/she will be considered to have "denied" the election to the post of Board Member and the seat will be considered vacant Op.Atty.Gen.1955-56, No. 2130, p. 382. Now, MCL168.362 (2) states: "A township officer elected in the general election shall remain in office for the full term if the officer failed to take the oath of office within the time prescribed by law and was subsequently appointed by the township board to the office for which the officer ran." This section may seem to contradict the apparent rule that an Oath is required. However, In researching further, it would seem that this subsection simply provides a remedy for an officer who takes the oath late - not one who refuses the oath. There is no legal authority or explanation that I found that seems to excuse APPOINTED officials (as opposed to ELECTED) from the oath requirement. Neither the Constitutional provision cited by Andrew, nor the MCL provisions above indicate in any way that the oath requirement applies to elected officials only. HOWEVER, it would be advisable to confer with your municipal attorney in order to confirm this information and apply it appropriately to your exact situation. I hope this is helpful! Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance. Happy Holidays! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

In-Reply-To: <60578BD91E662844A00FE6841E3165CE0450DA76@libemail.dearborn.libraries.org> References: <60578BD91E662844A00FE6841E3165CE0450DA76@libemail.dearborn.libraries.org> Message-ID: <1F64AF02-DA1C-4D65-BB45-A5FF8E83D306@detroitpubliclibrary.org> If we are notified bankruptcy was granted we forgive obligations. Bankruptcy law as explained to me doesn't allow other options. If the library is listed as a creditor in the patron's application for bankruptcy you will receive notice from the bankruptcy court. Eventually you will receive another notice of bankruptcy being granted or not. If granted the notice says the patron is relieved of all obligations earned before the date bankruptcy was granted. We clear the person's record of fines, replacement costs for lost items and any other fees. To the best of my knowledge we have never had anyone granted bankruptcy protection continue using the library. Usually their card expired before bankruptcy becomes an issue. J.

Does any other library out there have guidelines? How do you deal with lost items? Will you renew their library cards if they have lots of fines? Would you flat out forgive fines?
