Message-ID: He's not an author (yet), but Michigan artist Randy Asplund would be worth considering for a festival of this type. He's an artist who has deeply researched the work of medieval writing, illustration and book production, using authentic natural materials to produce gorgeous illuminated manuscripts and books the same way they were produced in the middle ages. He's also done a number of illustrations for Magic: the Gathering and contemporary book covers, which might appeal to the non-historical set. He's an experienced public presenter as well. Check out his website for more details: http://www.randyasplund.com/index.html He's reportedly working on a book about medieval manuscripts and illumination, which I greatly look forward to.

For anyone interested in the specific guidance around this, please see below: FCC 97-157 section 566 566. Resale. Section 254(h)(3) bars entities that obtain discounts from reselling the discounted services. Telecommunications services and network capacity provided [to schools or libraries at a discount] may not be sold, resold, or otherwise transferred by such user in consideration for money or any other thing of value. And then section 567: 567. We agree, however, with the Vermont PSB that the section 254(h)(3) prohibition on resale does not prohibit an eligible entity from charging fees for any services that schools or libraries purchase that are not subject to a universal service discount. Thus, an eligible school or library may assess computer lab fees to help defray the cost of computers or training fees to help cover the cost of training because these purchases are not subsidized by the universal service support mechanisms. We also observe that, if eligible schools, libraries, or consortia amend their approved service contracts to permit another eligible school or library to share the services for which they have already contracted, it would not constitute prohibited resale, as long as the services used are only discounted by the amount to which the eligible entity actually using the services is entitled.

In addition to an installation around town and local history research and preservation, we are interested in providing a variety of programming to commemorate WWI. I have found a few leads on my own, but I am hoping there is more out there that I may have missed. I am interested in presenters who can talk about the war itself or also about life and culture during that time. I already have a line on some sock machine knitters who can talk about how they were used to make socks for soldiers during WWI, but other things like that would also be of interest. I would particularly like to find someone to present on Rin Tin Tin. WWI reenactors are also needed. Any information you might have on WWI presenters that you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank, Keegan -- Keegan Sulecki Head of Adult Services Chelsea District Library 221 S.

I will portray Oleda Joure, a Marine City teenager who received special permission to enlist. As she looks back on those days, I can include music because she and her brother both were weekend musicians. He entertained the troops, but when she arrived in England and was asked to do the same, she had to say she couldn't because she already had taken her oath and would be court-martialed. It was only after the war the Girls learned the army considered them contractors not deserving benefits. It took until President Carter to earn their recognition. In the meantime she stayed close to her fellow Hello Girls. Like the Hello Girls, I'm currently having my uniform made, and am nearly ready to promote it, but hope these women intrigue Michiganders. -- Lois Sprengnether Keel Website:, Blog:, and posting newspaper accounts of Michigan's "Fighting Fifth" Civil War Infantry at * Storyteller in MI Arts and Humanities Directory * In Historical Society of Michigan Directory * State Liaison for National Storytelling Network * Webmaster for On 2/4/2016 10:55 AM, Keegan Sulecki wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Chelsea District Library is very excited about our recent grant award > from the Michigan Humanities Council to support a WWI Centennial > Project.

New and enhanced features, such as "Made in Michigan" and "Trips by Topic," have been wrapped up in a refreshed design that make the bi-monthly publication easier for readers to navigate through the content. "We are very excited about the redesign of our flagship publication," commented publisher Larry J. Wagenaar, who also serves as Executive Director of the Historical Society of Michigan. "Our redesign team, led by Michigan History editor Patricia Majher, did an outstanding job in updating the look and feel of the country's most successful state history magazine and made it an even more compelling read." Edited for an audience of popular history enthusiasts, Michigan History brings to life the exciting stories of Michigan people, places, and events and their impact on the state, the nation, and the world. The updated magazine includes three new features. The first, "Made in Michigan" highlights great things that originated in the Great Lakes State-from the first practical highway snowplow and the first professional hockey league to cat litter, cornflakes and cubicles. "Trips by Topic" suggests themed tours of Michigan museums-for example, aviation museums, fishing museums, or Native-American museums-based on HSM's Historic Michigan Travel Guide. And "Wise Words" contains quotes by Michiganians or about Michigan on the many topics that have shaped our history. In addition, the book review section has been expanded to include Michigan history-related music and movies as well as books. The magazine is published six times a year and is available for $24.95 for a one-year subscription and $41.95 for a two-year subscription. Orders may be placed by visiting www.hsmichigan.org/michiganhistory or by calling (800) 366-3703. Individual issues may be purchased for $6.95 at all Meijer and Barnes & Noble locations as well as at many independent bookstores throughout the state. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # To opt-out, please respond to this e-mail with "remove" in the subject line. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The process took a little while, but we shipped them (they paid for the shipping) 20 yearbooks and they did a great job. We got back our yearbooks no worse for wear and they sent us DVDs of the yearbooks. We are using Sanilac Computer's Digitotes and had them convert the images to searchable pdfs. The end result is on our website . I would definitely recommend both OCI and Sanilac Computers. I am getting ready to ship another 20 years of yearbooks. The yearbooks were gone for about 2 months -- but I did send 20 years. Time wasn't an issue for us because our historical society has a complete yearbook set in addition to ours. If you have more questions, please feel free to email or call me. thanks, lise On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 12:31 PM, Perri Saunders < p.saunders at woodlands.lib.mi.us> wrote: > If you have used this company/program, I'd be interested in hearing from > you. > > Is it really free? > > How long do they have the yearbooks? > > Any other tidbits would be helpful. > > Thanks! > > -- > Perri Saunders, Director > White Pigeon Township Library > 102 N.

If you have a large service area, and have a remote bookdrop, would you happen to have statistics showing a positive trend in patron or circulation numbers after you added the bookdrop? Thank you! -- Jessica Holman Library Director Negaunee Public Library 319 West Case Street Negaunee, MI 49866 (906) 475-7700 ext. 18 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In April of 2015, I was honored to collaborate with the Traverse Bay Children's Advocacy Center to present a storytime for child sexual awareness.

As a division of ALA, the Library Leadership and Management Association advances outstanding leadership and management practices in library and information services by encouraging and nurturing individual excellence in current and aspiring library leaders. The mentoring program pairs librarians with leadership experience with librarians who are interested in becoming leaders. The program runs from the ALA Annual Convention in June to April 30 of the following year. For mentors, it is a chance to pass on your experience and knowledge by working one-on-one with an enthusiastic colleague who is ready to learn and benefit from your experience. For mentees, it is a great opportunity to learn from an accomplished leader how to: * explore your leadership potential * demonstrate leadership in your current position * acquire the skills, attitudes and relationships that you will need to move into leadership roles. Participants must be ALA and LLAMA members as of the start of the program, and must either attend the Mentor/Mentee orientation at ALA Annual or be able to participate in a virtual orientation at a time to be determined. Your involvement and activity within LLAMA means you would have a lot to offer a newer librarian. I'm asking you to consider signing up as Mentor. We received over 60 applications from mentees, but only 30 mentor applications. If you are willing to participate, please sign up using this form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5WWVLMR. Your response by Tuesday, February 16 would be very much appreciated. If you have any questions you can reply directly to this email. Thank you for considering this opportunity!

Purposeful Innovation: Idea Engagement for Libraries Tuesday, March 15, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern ? 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/purposeful-innovation-idea-management-for-libraries.html Sooner or later, all libraries need to realign or reinvent services and workflows to respond to shifting community needs, but there?s often a disconnect between ideas generated by staff on the front lines and the decisions made by management. Imagine a library where all staff feel empowered to submit, vote and comment on service and workflow ideas. To reach this ideal, Sno-Isle Libraries (WA) has embraced the idea management process in order to consider and approve ideas holistically, for cost, benefit and time, and before a heavy investment of resources. Sno-Isle Libraries realized that building a collaborative, transparent framework to support workflows, change, ideas and community engagement is essential to creating a culture of purposeful innovation. During this webinar, you?ll gain a clear understanding of the "what" and "why" of idea management, hear lessons learned, and leave with tools to empower staff to lead from any position by sharing their ideas.

LAIP has networked with hundreds of libraries who are working with their communities to incubate and inspire creative projects. They have talked with scores of artists, writers, makers, performers, and other creatives about how they use their libraries and how their libraries can serve them even better. In this webinar, LAIP shares program and project ideas, resources and case studies to turn your library into a creativity incubator. Take the workable, scalable programming and resource framework from LAIP and become a hub for supporting creatives of all types and skill levels in your community.

The event will be held in Washington, D.C. on May 2-3, 2016 at the Liaison Hotel. Over the course of two days, library advocates will have the opportunity to hear from trusted D.C. voices on the issues that matter most to libraries. On day two, armed with advocacy tips and timely issue briefs, advocates will take to the Hill with their state delegations to meet with their Members of Congress and rally support for libraries. This event is open to the public. If you are a librarian, a trustee, or simply a library fan, you are welcome to join us! Participants at National Library Legislative Day are also able to take advantage of a discounted room rate by booking at the Liaison (for the nights of May 1st and 2nd).

This patron reported that repair information he had accessed for his vehicle last November didn't appear to be available anymore. The only information he was seeing now for his vehicle was the Bulletins/Recalls. It turns out that the only changes to the content that users may be experiencing is where they find it; no content has been deleted. Some manufacturers (GMC for one) now show the full coverage when available (Repair, Labor Estimating, Bulletins/Recalls, and Maintenance) for sub-models under the broad model name. For example, GMC Envoy XUV and XL sub-models information can be found under GMC Envoy. Any differences for the sub-models is broken out in the broad model coverage. The sub-models may still be listed but contain only Bulletins/Recalls information, as the patron discovered. Chilton's continues to be a very popular and unique MeL database and this tip may enable libraries and patrons to more easily find the quality vehicle information they've come to rely on. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Registration is now open for the next MCLS MeL Databases training webinar. Over a quarter million Michigan residents speak Spanish. MeL is there to help serve their information needs. Join us on February 24, at 9:30 am, for a brief, half hour free webinar focused on MeL resources for Spanish speakers. Eunice Eunice C.

I'm a library board member (and retired librarian) in Chesterfield Twp. I'm checking to see about employee education. If your library has a program to pay tuition for employee's classes, and the employer pays for the class, and then the employee quits after a year (for instance), does your library have the employee pay them back for the class? If so, how much? Is there a repayment schedule?Thanks!Alan Naldrett | | | | | | | | | | Yahoo Mail Stationery | | -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This year, I, along with Katie Dover-Taylor (William P Faust Public Library of Westland), Andrea Perez (William P Faust Public Library of Westland), Heidy Berthoud (Vassar College), and Celeste ?-Re (University of South Carolina) are coordinating the Radical Librarianship Track as part of the 18th annual Allied Media Conference, taking place June 16-19th, 2016, and we are putting out a call for proposals. The deadline to submit is March 11th @ midnight ET In case you are unfamiliar with the conference, this is a great video about the Allied Media Conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLRGNfsyQ1DegkpB37gYNaspJHtPh3t0um&v=orOxQ0d7eOU Last year we featured, among others, sessions about starting a seed library, starting your own maker space with just a bit of money, how to help those most in need, creating safer spaces through zine libraries, starting community based archives, and a presentation from the Free Black Woman's Library The Radical Librarianship track seeks collaborators to shape our discussions at the 2016 Allied Media Conference (AMC) on June 16-19, 2016 in Detroit, Michigan. Libraries and archives are more than places for collecting and storing books and artifacts. Libraries can be living, transformative spaces where artists, educators, technologists, and organizers convene to access, document, share, organize, and find solutions to issues that impact their communities. We welcome proposals for sessions that will be accessible to participants of all ages and backgrounds, and interpret the work of libraries and archives through the lens of media-based organizing. We are especially interested in sessions that: Challenge traditional library and archive structures, institutions, and organizations. Discuss best practices for community-based organizations that provide books, technology or internet access, creative materials, or collaborative opportunities centering people of color, queer and gender non-conforming folks, disabled people, incarcerated people, and undocumented people. Consider the role of librarians and archivists in strengthening the knowledge, culture, and collective memory of communities impacted by chronic divestment and gentrification. Address racism, white supremacy or issues of diversity and inclusion in libraries, archives, or museums. Discuss mental health and self-care for workers in libraries, archives, or museums. Build on discussions or lessons from the Radical Librarianship track at AMC2015 or previous Allied Media Conferences. Beyond the themes outlined above, if the idea of Radical Librarianship resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you. The deadline to submit is March 11th @ midnight ET. If you are interested in proposing a session, please follow this link. https://www.alliedmedia.org/news/propose-session-amc2016 For questions about the Radical Librarianship track, or to discuss session ideas with our coordinating team, please contact Katie Dover-Taylor at dovertaylor at gmail.com Benjamin Miller Reference Librarian Ypsilanti District Library 229 W Michigan Ave Ypsilanti MI 48197 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Well, I hope. There are two listserv announcements for today! 1) Digital Learning Day is Today 2) Inspiring Inquiry: First Steps to Student Questioning The text for both can be found below. Please reach out with any questions you may have! Happy Wednesday, Kelli Subject: Digital Learning Day 2016 is Today! Digital Learning Day (#DLDay) provides an opportunity to share ideas, collaborate with peers, try new digital tools, and celebrate education innovation. This year it's celebrated today on Wednesday, February 17th. How will your school or library participate? If you're looking for inspiration, we've identified practical tips and ideas that you can implement immediately. 10 IDEAS FOR PARTICIPATING IN #DLDay: 1. Join in the Fun! Classrooms worldwide are celebrating Digital Learning Day. See what other educators are doing, and take away new ideas that you can use in your classroom on another day. 2. Share! Post a short video or image so that others can see how you integrate digital learning into the classroom. If you're a subscriber, we want to hear from you! How are you using Britannica resources to enhance your students' learning? We're on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We would love to see how you make the most of your Britannica resources. Use #DLDay to share your new ways of using technology for learning! 3. Listen Up. Identify a voice you admire in the Education industry...is it a teacher, a publisher, a blog? Find one (or more) and be inspired on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. And make it easy for yourself-subscribe to newsletters or social media news feeds, so that the information comes to you and you don't have to search it out. Interested in receiving our monthly newsletters? 4. Put the Kids in Charge. We all know that kids are embracing technology like never before. They willingly talk about technology and share what apps and sites they like. Take 15 minutes and let students present their favorite educational app or site. It will engage and empower the students, and might give you some new ideas for the classroom. Delve into why they love that app or Web site...is it the self-pacing, the colorful interface, or a unique twist on the topic? How can that tool apply to a topic that you'll cover in class this year? This is also a great way to build students' evaluation and analysis skills! 5. Lunch & Learn. This never goes out of style! Does your school or library have a forum to share new technologies and ideas? If so, great-take the time to participate! If not, be the one to start something. Designate one day a month for a Digital Lunch & Learn session and take turns leading the lunch. 6. Do Something New. Think about what interests YOU most about digital learning. Chances are you've seen a new digital product (ImageQuest or Pathways: Science might come to mind) or technique (flipping the classroom) that piqued your interest. Now is the time to do something about it! Sign up for a free trial to a new product, locate a free or recorded Webinar to get some new classroom ideas, or find a whitepaper that provides more background about a topic. Take the first step! 7. Find Virtual Pen Pals. Get connected, discover new cultures and learn together. To get started, try a site like PenPal Schools-a worldwide online pen pal learning community. Find a class of similar age in a foreign country. Great for students who have family in other countries! 8. Lights, Camera, Action! Have the kids use an app like iMovie to interview a grandparent, family friend, or relative. Tales can range from war experiences to moving cross-country to being the first in the family to attend college. Students will be excited to use the technology and the movies will spark interesting class discussions. No technology at home? Make use of the public library! 9. Travel the World. Use a trusted Web site like Britannica School and use video to take a virtual field trip, on Digital Learning Day or any day. Visit Ireland on St. Patrick's Day, go inside the Smithsonian to see gems from American history, visit a college, or ask students to compare their life to someone their age in South Africa. 10. Get Ready for College and Careers. Career Day can be any day, and location isn't a problem anymore! Tap into your network of alumni, parents, former college professors, and others who want to serve as a career role model for students via Skype or Facetime. We believe that incorporating the spirit of Digital Learning Day every day will help all students reach their true potential. What ideas will you try? Subject: Inspiring Inquiry: First Steps to Student Questioning Questioning is one of the most important aspects of inquiry, and it can also be one of the most difficult skills to learn. Join us for this one-hour webinar to discover tools to encourage students to dig deeper, think critically, develop reasoning skills, and ask essential questions. Find strategies for students to use when they reach a fork in the road, or a point of difficulty in their questioning to allow them to take ownership of the direction of their learning. Let the lifelong learning begin with Britannica School! Certificates Provided!

Library Director, Lafayette Public Library, (LA) Message-ID: <04f601d169df$2dfe9ea0$89fbdbe0$@gossagesager.com> DIRECTOR-LAFAYETTE PUBLIC LIBRARY Direct the public library in the Happiest City in the United States!" The Lafayette Public Library Board of Control (LA) seeks an exceptional leader and executive who demonstrates commitment to the public library's local and global mission. The successful candidate will have the skill and experience to plan and implement new services and programs, fostering community support and a shared vision for the Lafayette Public Library. Political acumen, an understanding and proficiency in library technologies, a proven record of successful staff leadership, an in-depth knowledge of library funding streams, and experience in library construction and design are critical skill sets. With a dedicated staff of 140 and a $12 million annual operating budget, the Library serves the 221,000 parish residents from a main library, three regional libraries, and five branches, circulating 1,800,000+ items annually. Opportunities include developing and implementing a new strategic plan and completing the design-build for a new West Regional Library. Lafayette, located at the intersection of Interstates 49 and 10, serves as an economic center of Louisiana. The region's joie de vivre and Cajun and Creole cultures are known around the globe, creating a unique environment for work and play. Lafayette is also home to a world-class workforce, an integrated transportation network, a diversified business base, preeminent high-tech infrastructure, and a metropolitan appeal. The city is the center of a multi-cultural and multi-industrial region that's surrounded by a publicly-owned fiber optic loop. Today, Lafayette has diversified by positioning itself as a medical, transportation, entertainment, education and retail hub, and its economic resilience is a result of strategic growth, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a skilled workforce steeped in southern values. The home of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a Ph.D. granting institution, as well as a community college and a technical college, Lafayette draws from a metropolitan population of nearly 500,000, and as the retail, medical, and cultural heart of Acadiana, is known as the Hub City. For additional information on the Lafayette Public Library and the Lafayette region, visit Lafayette Links. Responsibilities. The Director reports to an eight member Library Board of Control. With overall responsibilities for fulfilling the mission of the library, the Director formulates, proposes, presents and administers library policies for Board approval. The Director creates all budgets; directs personnel, branches, outreach services; supervises development and maintenance of library collections and facilities; executes the strategic plans of the Board; and is the spokesperson for internal and external communications. The Director attends all Lafayette Consolidated Government Council meetings as the liaison to the Administration. As an ex officio Library Foundation Board member, the Director is expected to actively participate in the civic life of Lafayette and in state, regional and national library associations. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications are an ALA-accredited Master's Degree, a minimum of five years of progressively responsible administrative and managerial experience in public libraries with three years of executive level experience, and certification by the Louisiana Board of Library Examiners. (Candidates who do not have this certification must be able to attain it within the first year of employment). Vital attributes include superior oral and written communication skills, thorough knowledge of financial and personnel management, political skills, and the ability to work in a collaborative team environment. Success working closely with a governing board as a Director or Assistant Director in a multi-branch, urban environment is highly desired. Compensation. The salary range for the position is $100,000 - $110,000 (with placement within the range dependent on experience and qualifications) with an excellent benefits package.

Zarinah El-Amin Naeem is the owner of Beautifully Wrapped and she will come to your library and do a head wrapping workshop and demonstration. It is a fun program - we did it back in 2014 and it was a huge hit! We had 80 people come and everyone loved it. Zarinah will demonstrate a couple of different head wrapping styles from different cultures around the world on audience members, she tells the story of its origins and its significance and at the end of the program she has wraps for the audience to try it themselves. It was such fun we are having her back again in the fall. She also has an exhibit that she can bring to the program and/or display it at your library. We used it to build up excitement prior to the program. Her requested honorarium is $300 and her contact information is: Zarinah El-Amin Naeem, M.A. Founder of Beautifully Wrapped https://www.facebook.com/Headwraps Cell: 313-377-2857 Email: zarinah at niyah.net I've attached some pictures I took of the exhibit and the head wrapping workshop.

These annual grants to the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Territories represent the largest source of federal funding support for library services in the United States. The agency's Grants to States program allocates a base amount to each of the SLAAs plus a supplemental amount based on population. These federal funds supplement rather than replace state funding for existing state library services, and the program assures local involvement through financial matching requirements. The newly released allotment table identifies both the federal (66%) and state match share (34%) for each SLAA. States and their subrecipients have used Grants to States funds for a range of projects that respond to the purposes and priorities outlined in the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). These have included summer reading programs, access to electronic databases and e-books, and programming targeted to underserved populations. To find out more about how funds are used in each state, visit the state profile pages. . About the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. Our mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement.

If so, the The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) is accepting proposals for break-out session presentations for the 2016 Conference to be held in Fargo, North Dakota on October 27-29, 2016. The theme for ARSL 2016 is ?North of Normal? and we?d like to hear about creative ideas that take your library beyond normal. Proposals for these 1-hour sessions can be submitted using our online form . The deadline to submit is March 21, 2016 in order for the Conference Programming Committee to review and make selections. Those who submit a proposal will be notified whether or not their proposal was accepted by April 15, 2016. We remind presenters that workshops must be geared toward the small and rural library audience, and those that are practical, hands-on, and how-to are preferred. This is not the proper venue for post-graduate dissertations or marketing products. Additional instructions are included on the form. *Workshop presenters will receive ONE complimentary conference registration per workshop title selected, i.e. a team of three presenters working on one workshop will receive one complimentary registration.* We also suggest you watch our website www.arsl.info or our Facebook and Twitter streams for the latest conference news!

This two-day event brings three nationally known authors to present assemblies and workshops on writing in Chelsea schools. The library is also holding a special evening *Meet the Authors* event on March 30th from 6:30-8:00pm for families and the general public to meet all three authors. This event will be held in Room 100 of the Washington Street Education Center at 512 Washington Street. ?Our evening event last year was a huge success,? remarked Karen Persello, Head of Youth and Teen Services at the library. ?We had close to 200 people attending, and we hope everyone will come again this year.? During the evening, each author will have a turn to speak, members of the audience can ask questions, and then get their books signed. Books will be available for purchase in the WSEC lobby, from Chelsea?s Just Imagine bookstore. This year?s line-up includes *Dan Yaccarino, *author and illustrator of the children?s books *Doug Unplugged*, *Doug Unplugs on the Farm*, and many others, who will be visiting all 1st and 2nd graders at North Creek Elementary School; *Ruth McNally Barshaw*, who has written and illustrated six novels for the *Ellie McDoodle Diaries *series and will be visiting all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students at South Meadows Elementary School*;* and *William Durbin*, who writes historical adventures that include *The Broken Blade, The Winter War, *and *Blackwater Ben, *and will be visiting the 6th graders at Beach Middle School. The purpose of *Authors in Chelsea* is to provide 1st?6th grade students close contact with award-winning authors in order to explore the art and craft of writing, encourage them to read and appreciate literature, and learn to appreciate ?the Power of Writing.? Marcus Kaemming, principal of North Creek Elementary School, says ?We are very excited about our continued opportunity to have these author visits. The children are extremely excited about the books and experiences they bring. Each year the authors spur new conversations and help our students get reinvigorated about their own writing. The CDL does a superb job of finding great people to share with our youngest authors.? South Meadows Elementary School principal Stacie Battaglia states, "We are so very fortunate that our library finds value in offering these experiences to our students. There is such excitement and of course an amazing learning opportunity for kids when they meet a ?real? author!? >From Nick Angel, principal of Beach Middle School, ?We contribute to appreciate the Authors in Chelsea series here at Beach. The students benefit from reading Durbin's book but also from meeting him face to face. This makes the writing process come alive.? 6th grade teacher Ryann Skrypec says, "Having an author come to a community and share their writing story with middle school students is like a young child learning how to write. They start to believe things they might have once thought impossible, possible!" In preparation for the Authors in Chelsea visits to the schools, youth librarians visit each 1st-6th grade class to get students excited about this year?s authors by delivering free books and ?talking up? the author, even giving out small prizes to students who can answer questions about the authors and their books. Additionally, there will be a Fun Fair at the Chelsea District Library on Saturday, March 5, 1:00-3:00pm where kids can join together in fun and games themed around this year?s authors? books. Attendees can do everything from test driving a wireless Sphero robot to celebrate Dan Yaccarino?s *Doug Unplugged,* to hunting for Ellie?s Doodles around the library, featuring illustrations by Ruth McNally Barshaw! At the Voyageur Camp in the McKune Room, students can pose in a canoe and choose their own French name fit for a fur trader. Ages 6 and up are invited to attend and registration is not required. Support from the Chelsea Education Foundation and the Friends of the Chelsea District Library has allowed for the purchase of more than 300 books by this year?s visiting authors. The books were distributed to classrooms and the media centers at each of the three participating Chelsea schools in advance of the authors? visits. For further information about the Authors in Chelsea program, please visit aic.chelseadistrictlibrary.org. ### The *Chelsea Education Foundation *is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that provides funding for a wide spectrum of educational activities to benefit the residents of Chelsea, Michigan.

ALA task force seeks your input on economic implications of participating at ALA functions For Immediate Release Mon, 02/22/2016 Contact: Jody Gray Director Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services American Library Association 312-280-5295 jgray at ala.org CHICAGO - The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President Barbara Stripling. Before moving forward with programs, actions or recommendations, the members of the Task Force on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion believe it is important to understand the culture of the association, the profession and our communities with respect to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our short surveys are an opportunity to include input and ideas from the professional community, while complementing the rich data collection efforts of the larger association. We recognize that incidents of racial bias and injustice continue to occur across the country on a regular basis. This third survey, however, focuses on the economic implications of participating in ALA functions. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TEDI3. Responses will be collected through March 18, 2016. ALA members and non-members are encouraged to participate. Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than seven minutes to complete. "Embracing and celebrating diversity and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld," said Task Force co-Chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar. Questions about the survey can be sent to the Task Force at diversity at ala.org. Should technical issues arise, please contact the ALA Office for Research and Statistics at ors at ala.org or call 1 (800) 545-2433. ext. 4273 ======================================== Daniel Cornwall Internet and Technology Consultant Alaska State Library http://library.alaska.gov/dev/libdev.html Ph: 907-465-6332 Email: daniel.cornwall at alaska.gov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A young woman I know is looking for a book that she remembers from Kindergarten. This would have been late 80s-early 90s. She told me that it was about a boy who got a star-shaped sticker that he put on his forehead and it left a white spot when he got a tan. I have been searching online and have found the following descriptions from others searching for the same book. No results were posted where I found this. " *I don't remember the title or author, but it was a children's book, probably from the 60's, about a boy who received a star sticker from his teacher. The star was placed on his forehead, and he was so proud of it that he wouldn't wash his face for fear that the star would come off. His face got dirtier and dirtier until somehow the sticker fell off or was removed, and then there was a white star shaped spot on his forehead where the sticker had been, surrounded by the dirty skin. *unknown, Weekly Reader, 1965 or 1966. I remember reading this story when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. I recall that it was in a Weekly Reader magazine. The young boy won the gold star because he had been able to count to 100, had been able to say the alphabet from A to Z, and had been able to name the seven basic colors.

Each week for six weeks a different story was placed outside in the raised bed along the patio. I laminated the pages of each book so that the story could be read walking both ways along the path. I stapled the laminated sheets to simple wire lawn signs. Check out a pic here. We have a beautiful park adjacent to the library and I hope to be able to do an official Story Walk there in the future. The wire lawn signs are not sturdy enough, however. Story Walk frames are available to purchase but are pricey. Check out Barking Dog Exhibits for examples. www.bdexhibits.com Good luck and have fun with your Story Walk.

You are invited to attend Library Camp: An Unconference on Friday, April 15, 2016 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. This event is intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. It's an informal, unconference-style gathering intended to bring people to share ideas, technologies, and to spark discussion. Library Camp is free to attend and will be held at the Downtown Library at 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. Click here to register. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them talk about whatever they'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and start the day with a discussion of topics we'd like to talk about to fill in the agenda. We've got time for four sessions and room for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. Bring your ideas and quandaries. AADL staff will be on hand to help with directing the conversation, but like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! Further details are at: http://www.aadl.org/libcamp16 . See you April 15th! Sara Wedell Production Librarian | Ann Arbor District Library wedells at aadl.org | 734.327.4225 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

HB 5219 clarifies that the restriction on using public resources to reference a local ballot question only applies to radio or television advertisements, rather than any communication over television or radio. As a result, public resources would be restricted for the following types of communications: mass mailings, prerecorded telephone messages, radio advertisements, television advertisements. The bill also makes clear that the restriction on the use of public resources to reference a local ballot question does not cover meetings of a public body. Additionally, the bill deletes the 60 day timeframe and provides that the restriction on using public resources would not preclude an informative communication that consists of any of the following: ? The language of a local ballot question; ? The date of an election; ? Factual and strictly neutral information concerning the direct impact of a local ballot question on a public body or the electorate, except if the communication can reasonably be interpreted as an attempt to influence the outcome of a local ballot question. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Library Director, Branch District Library (MI) Message-ID: <009201d170cf$10f18560$32d49020$@gossagesager.com> LIBRARY DIRECTOR - BRANCH DISTRICT LIBRARY, SOUTH-CENTRAL MICHIGAN Manage six unique libraries as a single, unified system in South Central Michigan! The Branch District Library Board of Trustees seeks a progressive and original leader who can and will capitalize on the Library's 2015 millage success and create a sound forward-thinking plan for the Library's future. The Library staff (37 employees, 23 FTE) serves the 46,905 citizens of Branch County and Allen Township in Hillsdale County with a $1.6 million operating budget. The Branch District Library was formed in 1991 by combining the resources and services of individual public libraries in Coldwater, Algansee, Bronson, Quincy, Sherwood, and Union Township. Branches of the District Library remain active in those communities, each of which has its own unique character, community support, programs and services. The challenge for the new Director will be to help the Library and its services flourish with its communities, move forward with innovation to restore hours and services and become recognized as the community resource. The District collaborates with the Woodlands Library Cooperative and other agencies to provide technology, special programs and much more. Branch County is located in southern Michigan, half way between Chicago and Detroit along the Old Sauk Trail, also known as the U.S. 12 Heritage Route. With warm small town hospitality, Coldwater (the county seat) and the surrounding communities offer festivals, shopping, restaurants and more than 100 area lakes for fishing and recreational activities-all amid very diverse and affordable housing options. Cultural amenities include the historical Tibbits Opera House in Coldwater-the second oldest theater in Michigan-offering near perfect acoustics in an intimate 499-seat setting. The theater offers a fine array of performances throughout the year and has developed an outstanding reputation for its Summer Theatre performances. Branch County is served by five school districts and two colleges-Baker College and Kellogg Community College. The area has a healthy and expanding economy, including the recently announced Clemens Food Group's $225 million investment in a new pork production facility. For more about the communities and the Library see Branch Links . Responsibilities. The Director reports to a seven-member Library Board of Trustees and under the broad policy guidance and direction from the Board, performs professional and administrative duties in planning, developing, implementing, and directing public library services for the Branch District Library. These duties include personnel management, budget preparation and financial management, policy and project development, facilities management, and community relations. The Director will work effectively with elected officials at the local, township and state level; and with the media, stakeholder groups, and the communities to enhance the Library's image as the heart of the county. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master's Degree in Library Science from an ALA-accredited program; four years of experience as an administrator/director or as a department head for a public library (or equivalent); and the ability to obtain and retain Michigan Certification Level 1. Essential attributes and skills include: excellent communication and organizational skills; the ability and desire to plan, develop, and administer the activities of a public library; supervisory experience; demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the Board, staff and community stakeholders; and an understanding and appreciation of public library best practices in the areas of intellectual freedom, collections, and library technologies. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board, experience leading and implementing a strategic planning process and experience with a successful millage campaign are highly desirable. Compensation. The salary range is $70,000 to $82,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package. For further information contact Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates via email or telephone. To start the application process, send a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or pdf attachments via email to Dan Bradbury on or before the closing date of April 10, 2016.

As genealogy and local history librarians, we are often uniquely connected to our communities. If you know of someone who is active in your area, is a member of one of the MGC societies, and deserves recognition for their hard work and contributions to local history and genealogy resources, please consider nominating them or passing this information on to someone in your local genealogical or historical society. Since 1992, the Michigan Genealogical Council has offered the Lucy Mary Kellogg award as a way to honor the rich genealogical contributions brought to our community by dedicated members of Michigan's genealogical societies. Named for the first woman and first Midwesterner to be chosen for the National Genealogy Hall of Fame, the award allows us to celebrate our most active members for their service. The award has been given to twenty individuals since its creation, generating hundreds of dollars in donations to local societies, the Library of Michigan, and the Archives of Michigan. Because of a recent drop in submissions, the last Lucy Mary Kellogg award was granted in 2012 and we need help bringing attention to the award to receive enough submissions to continue recognizing the valuable offerings brought by our members. To gather judges and award the 2016 Lucy Mary Kellogg award, we need to receive a minimum of three submissions by June 1st. To nominate someone for the award you just submit a brief nomination form and a letter of recommendation (up to 500 words) which lists the individual's achievements and contributions. Societies are encouraged to solicit multiple letters of recommendation from groups or individuals familiar with the nominee and their work. As with research - the more evidence, the better! Please visit our website for a list of requirements and our nomination form. Questions can be emailed to info at mimgc.org or johnsonc at yourmdl.org. Thank you for your time, and have a great week!

They do a wonderful job! (I was one of their authors. They used "Bravest of the Brave" one year for their summer book walk.) They have permanent signposts with removable flat panels for the books--tilted at an angle. Then every year they print a book's pages on waterproof materials and post the book along the reading trail. (Which is also wheelchair accessible.) They do a kick-off literacy day party with the arboretum's gift shop supplying and selling the author's books. They invite the author to speak, and put him/her up for the night. They make a big deal of it and often have a great turn out. On the day I was to speak/read at the kick-off party, it rained. Nevertheless, we still had a great crowd with umbrellas. I loved watching the kids run from page to page along the trail. The folks at the Dawes also had a signer there for several speech-impaired children who were attending. If you can talk the park into making it a permanent exhibit, that would be great. Kids would look forward to what new book was in the park. Making the storywalk more of an integral part of a park visit will make a bigger impression on young readers/park visitors. If you want any pics, let me know. I have a few from the Dawes I can send.
