Hello All,

If you are the director of your library, how does your board of trustees manage your annual review?

Do you meet with the Personnel Committee as a whole? Do the trustees conduct the annual review at a 
regularly scheduled board meeting as a group?

I am interested to learn how other libraries manage this.

Thanks a bunch.

Hi!  Free for any library that wants it - 4 station computer unit. The monitors are sunk inside and sit on little shelves and the keyboards are on trays.  Both the monitor stands and the keyboard trays can be removed and you?d just have a normal table but with 4 glass panels on the surface.  Also, the frosted privacy glass was added later and can be removed.   Chairs aren?t included.  You?d have to come here and pick it up.  It fits in the back of an SUV when taken apart.  And it is already all taken apart.

Thanks!

A month or so ago I received information about an online (I think) Braille
summer reading program.  I printed it out and passed it on to the mom, but
she's lost it.

Can anyone pass this info on again?  We have a little guy that visits the
area during the summer, and I'd like to offer him as much as possible.

Thanks so much,

Hi Brian, 

We have a small unit that we use to call staff from the staff work area when we need assistance at the circ. desk. It comes with two buttons to place at either end of the circ desk and runs on batteries. I think we got it for $25 at Home Depot.

As part of its Summer Reading Program, the Addison Township Public Library is excited to host an author panel with four young adult authors from around Michigan:  Ava Jae, Bethany Neal, Laura Wolfe and Sarah Zettel.  The panel will take place on Saturday, July 9 at 4 p.m. and will also include a Q&A with the audience and book signing by the authors.  

Ava Jae?s debut YA novel, ?Beyond the Red,? which came out in March, is a sci-fi adventure with aliens, politics, rebellion and romance.  Ava lives in Ann Arbor and is also an editor, as well as being an active blogger/vlogger on all things reading and writing.  

Bethany Neal writes ?young adult fiction with a little dark side and a lot of kissing.?  Another Ann Arbor resident, Bethany?s book ?My Last Kiss? is the story of a ghost who must discover what really happened on the night of her death.

Laura Wolfe, an equine enthusiast, lives in Milford.  Her YA debut, ?Trail of Secrets,? a fascinating mystery set at a fictional Michigan horse camp, was a Finalist in the 2016 Indie Book Awards First Novel Under 80,000 Words category.  She has also recently published a children?s picture book, ?Henrietta?s Hoof Polish.?

Sarah Zettel is an award-winning fantasy, science fiction and mystery author, and writes for both adults and teens, having published fourteen novels and many short stories.  Her most recent contributions to the YA genre include the ?American Fairy? trilogy, set during the Dust Bowl, and the ?Palace of Spies? trilogy, a mystery series in the time of King George I.

Libraries Read: 1 Book discussion events announced

"Is Google making us stupid?" Nicholas Carr asked, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story. Carr delves further into the question in his book The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains, the selected title for "Libraries Read: 1 Book."

MCLS invited library staff across Indiana and Michigan to place votes on one of four titles to select one book that we will all read and discuss together for professional development. Nicholas Carr's book captured the most votes. In The Shallows, he explores the net's intellectual and cultural consequences.

MCLS encourages library staff to read the book throughout the summer, then join us in a Twitter chat and regional discussions about the book.

According to Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director, "During 2014, MCLS conducted a series of community conversations with librarians throughout Indiana and Michigan, utilizing the tools from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation.  The desire to have discussions in many formats, and to communicate with one another outside of our silos was a recurring theme.  By reading one book together, we aim to create deeper connections among libraries that span geographic and other boundaries."

Book Discussions

  *   July 21, 2 pm Eastern.  Twitter Chat. Use the hashtag #mclschat
  *   August 2, 10 am to Noon Eastern.  Monroe County Public Library, Bloomington, IN
  *   August 3, 10 am to Noon Central. Lake County Public Library, Merrillville, IN
  *   August 4, 2 pm to 4 pm Eastern. Indianapolis Public Library Service Center, Indianapolis, IN
  *   August 5, 11 am to 1 pm Eastern. MCLS, Lansing, MI: This discussion will be led by Michigan librarian extraordinaire Kevin King, Head, Branch and IT Services Kalamazoo Public Library
  *   September 29. Peter White Library, Marquette, MI: This discussion will be part of the Upper Peninsula Region of Library Cooperation (UPRLC) meeting. Time to be determined.

We have a button on our staff home page that our circulation staff uses to
alert those working in back that they need assistance.  It plays "Help!" by
the Beatles in the back room when you press it. :D

Please view the Alameda County Librarian brochure <http://www.gossagesager.com/alamedabrochure.pdf>  for complete information.

 

Alameda County, an award-winning innovator, seeks its next County Librarian. The Alameda County Library <http://www.aclibrary.org/>  provides innovative and creative library services to 564,695 County residents through ten branch libraries and outreach programs focused on youth, incarcerated individuals and populations with diverse literacy needs. The County is proud of the Library's commitment to 21st century technology, to reaching all its residents and to its partner cities and unincorporated areas. Recent accomplishments include ?Tech It Out? programs providing training and access to technology solutions, ?Hack the Future? events to develop creativity and innovation in young leaders, promotion of STEM education, and many programs supporting the diverse arts and culture of the region. Established in 1910, Alameda County Library is governed by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. The Alameda County Library Advisory Commission advises the County Librarian and the Board of Supervisors on library services, as do other local library advisory commissions. The Library is funded by property taxes supplemented by state grants and city contracts for additional operating hours and services. The Alameda County Library Foundation and active auxiliary groups support vital library programs and services. For more information on the Library and Alameda County, visit Alameda Links. <http://www.gossagesager.com/alamedalinks.htm> 

 

The ideal candidate for County Librarian will maintain and promote the highest standards of integrity and ethics with a strong customer service focus and philosophy. In addition to being fiscally responsible and having the commitment to talent management and diversity in a union environment, the successful candidate will be a strategic thinker and skilled planner, politically astute, proactive and supportive of change in an entrepreneurial environment, and an effective communicator and collaborator. The County Librarian is an at-will Department Head appointed by the Board of Supervisors who reports through and receives overall policy guidance from the County Administrator.

Challenges and opportunities for the County Librarian include: finalizing and implementing the Master Facilities Plan, succession planning through developing and mentoring senior staff, designing and implementing a branding and marketing campaign, developing and articulating a progressive vision, and working closely with the County Board of Supervisors and county constituents.

Please see County Librarian <https://www.jobaps.com/Alameda/specs/classspecdisplay.asp?ClassNumber=4190&R1=&R3>  for the complete position description. 

 

Compensation. The annual salary range is $135,928.00 to $190,299.20 with placement based upon the selected candidate's experience and salary history. In addition to a competitive salary, the County offers an excellent benefits package. <https://www.acgov.org/hrs/divisions/ebc/>

Good morning everyone,

For anyone who needs a back to work pick-me-up after the (USA) holiday weekend, I offer you a brief video of KDL staff members playing with kittens. Our HR Department worked with the local humane society to bring small groups of kittens to a variety of branches for our staff members to play with and enjoy. They provided terrific summer reading stress relief!

Hello, everyone, 

Long time reader, first time poster for this type of thing. I had a question from a patron trying to find a book. I was given the following information: 


My friend read it when she was in 2nd grade,which was roughly in 1970. The book was written for a middle grade audience ofabout 11-15. She believes the title is ?The Courtship of Annemarie? though itcould be ?courting? or Annemarie could spelled any number of ways. She does notknow the author. ?Definitely fiction. Set in either America or Canada duringthe time of land grants. ?It?s a story about a young lady who is courted by two youngmen, one rich and disapproving, one not rich but smart and hardworking. If theymarry before a certain date they get a land grant. The deadline comes and goesand the rich boy married elsewhere to get the land. The poor boy comes to herhouse the next day to say he can get his own land but needs her. 

Does this ring a bell with anyone? 

Thanks in advance for the assistance. 

Brian

Fun with Words for
Parents and Children

Last month we looked at a workshop that can be presented to parents, grandparents, and childcare providers called "Fun with Letters for Parents and Children." This month, the focus will be on a similar workshop, "Fun with Words for Parents and Children." Here is a brief look at this workshop.

The workshop was created because of the importance of children having a large vocabulary, which has been proven to be related to reading success and is also a predictor of long-term reading achievement. This workshop will discuss both the importance of a child's listening vocabulary and also speaking vocabulary.

One interesting point --- this workshop is geared to children ages two to five, though we know the importance of sharing words with babies from birth. However, ALSC has addressed babies and words in a separate effort (see Website of the Month below.)

For the workshop you will be need the following books: wordless picture books, predictable books, information books, books with nursery rhymes and poetry, riddle and joke books, and books by Dr. Seuss. You also need to pick a song that has more unusual or rare words --- the one used in this workshop is "Everything Has A Shape" by Hap Palmer, however you can use what ever song you want.

In this workshop (as every other workshop), you will explain the five simple practices: Talking; Singing, Reading, Writing, and Playing, and then you go through each practice, relating each to the importance of words and vocabulary.

Talking - Suggestions are to play labeling games and label objects and events in the child's world. It is also stressed to label feelings. Adults are also encouraged to talk about what they are doing as they go throughout their day. They are to ask children questions, listen to the answers, and then ask another question based on  what the child said. Also, adults can tell stories about their day, memories growing up, or memories from their child's life. Librarians are asked to share wordless picture books and explain why they are so important to use with young children.

Singing: The song used in the manual is "Everything Has A Shape" by Hap Palmer, though you can use another song if desired, but choose one with rich vocabulary.

Reading - Children learn more words from books then they do from everyday conversation, so the importance of sharing picture books is mentioned. The librarian should then share a predictable book that invites verbal participation. Examples are: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?; Is Your Mama a Llama; Jump, Frog, Jump!; and Rhyming Dust Bunnies.

Writing - Activity suggestions include making a word jar,  making a book of a child's favorite words, or asking a child to give a caption for a picture or drawing, which the parent then writes.

Playing - Fun books are used here: books with made-up words (example Dr. Seuss); silly poetry books; and riddle and joke books.

There is handout that accompanies this workshop and it contains "Storytime Starters" for parents. Here are just a few examples:

  *   Tell your child how you felt the day he or she was born.
  *   Talk to your child about his/her childhood.
  *   Use simple props (puppets, stuffed animals) to tell a story.
  *   Use family photos to tell stories.
  *    Make a word book by clipping photos from magazines.
  *    Encourage your child to tell a story about a favorite event.

New Book of the Month
[Some Bugs Book Cover]


Some Bugs
by Angie Di Terlizzi
Beach Lane, 2016.

ISBN: 978-1-4424-5880-2 $17.99


Since the focus of the newsletter this month is on words, I want to share a new favorite book that is wonderful for introducing preschoolers to new and rare words. One of the important reasons to share picture books with children (Or the "Read," in ECRR's five practices of Talk, Read, Sing, Write & Play) is the exposure to new vocabulary, and this book fits the bill perfectly. It will make a great storytime addition to any bug storytime. A second wonderful feature is that the text is completely written in rhyme, which is helpful for young children's phonological awareness. So this books stars in three of the six original skills (ECRR 1st edition) which we now know are crucial for young children learning to read. In addition to the above two, children may be intrigued to notice that the rhyming words are done in a larger font in bright colors - perfect for print awareness. And if you need another reason to consider adding this book to your collection, there is a wonderful STEM extension at the end of the book.

 "Some bugs STING, some bugs BITE, Some bugs STINK, and some bugs FIGHT!" begins the text. (Make sure you hold your nose when you say "stink" while reading the text, and also emphasize the rhyming words.) Following are delightful double page spreads, illustrated by Brendan Wenzel (or as the cover states - Bugs by Brendan Wenzel) describing all the different things bugs do. Listen to the awesome vocabulary presented midway in the text: "Stinging, Biting, Stinking, Fighting, Hopping, Gliding, Swimming, Hiding, Building, Making, Hunting, Taking - bugs are oh-so-FASCINATING!" But the best part is when the narrator invites the reader to investigate their own backyard and see what bugs can be found there. To help, there is a double-page spread identifying over 40 different kinds of bugs (also depicting Oskar the cat character.) This leads to a wonderful STEM activity where children can go outside and find bugs on their own. For libraries, this would be a great summer reading activity!

Reflections

You might have heard the phrase "The Thirty Million Word Gap." This refers to a study done by University of Kansas researchers Betty Hart and Todd R. Risley titled The Early Catastrophe: The 30 Million Word Gap by Age 3.  A summary can be found here<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTYwNzA1LjYxMTQ3MjcxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE2MDcwNS42MTE0NzI3MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzIxMzEzJmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/periodicals/TheEarlyCatastrophe.pdf>.

 The study showed that unfortunately, children's vocabulary skills are directly related to the economic background of their parents. This means that by age 3, there is a 30 million word gap between children from the poorest families compared to those children from the wealthiest families. The gap shows up long before age three however. By 18 months, children in different socio-economic groups already display dramatic differences in their vocabularies. (Fernald, A., V.A. Marchman, & A. Weisleder. 2013. "SES Differences in Language Processing Skill and Vocabulary Are Evident at 18 Months." Developmental Science 16 (2): 234-48.)

 Thus, the workshop described in this newsletter is very important for librarians to offer to parents. However, if you are unable to offer the workshop due to time constraints, here are some general ideas you can suggest to parents and early childhood educators, in addition to what is given above.

 1. Use new and interesting words in natural conversations you are having with your children. Introducing a new word in context helps children learn what it means and remember the word.  For example, children will learn what a guitar is when they can see and hear it.  At storytime programs, I would always have the children line up so each child would have a chance to strum my guitar. They loved it!

2. Sing with children and recite rhymes to introduce children to new vocabulary. Songs and nursery rhymes include many rare words.

3. Talk with children and ask questions that cannot be answered with one word responses.

4. Sharing picture books is vital. Children are introduced to three times as many rare words through picture books then through regular conversations or through dialogue they hear on TV or on DVD's.

5. Take field trips to new places children have not been before, such as a zoo.

 Think about equity though --- the above should be happening with all children, not just children coming to library programs. How can you reach new audiences with this information?

Example: Sharing with Head Start parents?

Don't you love resources you can use in your library that you can obtain for free? ALSC has provided templates for beautiful posters you can make and hang in your library or storytime room on the importance of sharing words with babies. They were designed to bridge the 30 Million Word Gap (see below). The posters are available thus far in both English and Spanish.

There is a blog with ideas on how libraries have used these posters, but here are a few more suggestions from ALSC:

  *   Post above changing tables in child care centers.
  *   Post in doctors' waiting rooms and anywhere else where children and their caregivers have a moment to talk, read, sing and play.

ALSC also provides a downloadable book list that recommends books for parents and caregivers to request at their local library that are perfect for babies acquiring new words.

Subject: [Michlib-l] paid time off ?
Message-ID: <7AF3750EA47B0340985645C3D2A4F23D590E3D@W14MBX-CH2-D6.W14D.comcast.net>

I'm trying to figure out and equitable management of paid time off for my staff. The quirky part is pto is established as a number of days. All staff though have different numbers of hours that constitute their "days". This is essentially unequal in that one may be getting an 8 hour vacation day while another gets a 5 hour vacation day. Initially I was operating on the understanding that a week off would reimburse an employee for the pay they would normally get in a work week. I have had a few issues of staff asking for an unpaid day off when they work a short shift to save their longer days for reimbursement. I understand their point of view but theoretically I could have an instance of staff taking an unlimited amount of time off if they requested it without pay. This is problematic to me from a management standpoint because it either leaves us understaffed and consequently giving poor customer service or I have to fill in those hours and it might of necessity have to be filled by an employee with a higher wage and that could potentially impact our budgeted costs for personnel.
I would appreciate thoughts and recommendations. Thanks

Message-ID: <CALDOhhW3b1n7i6o1QOevxzuP122WThUud9qeGsY4XGS98mtL1g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone:  We have been approached by MorphoTrust USA about being a
fingerprinting partner for our area.  I'm just wondering how many other
libraries have become partners.  If your library offers this service in
partnership with MorphoTrust, I'd love to know how it's working for you and
your staff.

Thank you for any information.

Greetings!

The July free library related webinars listing is now available.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Tuesday, July 12 (12-1 pm)
Webinar Surveys: How to Get Useful Feedback from Your Audience (Idealware) http://idealware.org/online-training Webinars are challenging-even for the most experienced presenters-because you can't read eye contact and body language to let you know what's working and what isn't. However, a well-designed post-training survey can provide valuable feedback that you can use to incrementally improve your online presentations. Join us for a free session where we walk you through how to develop and analyze surveys for webinars. Over the course of the hour you'll learn what questions to ask and how to structure your questions to get insightful, actionable feedback. For more information, visit: http://idealware.org/online-training

Tuesday, July 19 (2-3 pm)
Serving At-Risk Patrons: Lessons from Library Social Workers (Programming Librarian) http://programminglibrarian.org/learn Discussion of homelessness in the District of Columbia and the District of Columbia Public Library's unique role in the lives of people experiencing homelessness, including DCPL initiatives targeting this population and plans for future initiatives serving customers returning from jail/prison, many of whom lack stable living arrangements. Discussion of Oak Park (Ill.) Public Library's role in serving vulnerable populations and the guiding philosophies that influence the library's work. Other topics will include patron advocacy, strategic partnerships, and how to safely engage with challenging patrons. For more information, visit: http://programminglibrarian.org/learn

Hi Kate,

Crawford County Library's pto is based on number of hours worked. Here's
part of what's in our policy manual:


"Salaried and full-time employees shall earn vacation days (1 day = 8
hours) on a monthly, prorated basis in accordance, beginning after the
first anniversary of employment, with the following schedule:

One (1) year through four (4) years full time of service    10 Days
Five (5) years or more of full time of service              15 Days

Part-time employees shall earn vacation days (1 day = 8 hours on accrual
basis of one vacation day per 208 hours worked beginning after the first
anniversary of employment."

Hope this helps!

Good morning! 

Board members are invited to holiday and retirement gatherings, which seems pretty standard. I'm wondering about what other libraries do with board at staff events--staff meetings, staff training days, etc. Do they want to attend? Are they invited? What do they/are they expected to, contribute to the event? 

Thanks for letting me know how this works in your library.

Colleagues,

The email below went out on the AASLForum in late June, but I'm asking that you please distribute it widely now through your state listservs, etc.  As noted, the AASL/ALSC/YALSA Interdivisional Committee is working on a toolkit for school and public librarians.  We need to be sure that school librarians' voices are well represented in the survey responses.

Many thanks,
Audrey Church
2016-2017 AASL President

What do you think would foster stronger ties between school & public libraries?   Tell AASL, ALSC & YALSA via this brief online survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/JMGXGRV<http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JMGXGRV>.  The AASL/ALSC/YALSA Interdivisional Committee on School/Public Library Cooperation will use your feedback to create an awesome toolkit!  Please respond by July 15th.  One lucky survey taker will be drawn at random to get a free box of books (worth $100)!  Thank you for participating!

Message-ID: <CANEd7+SOahjzxAx6W-bpjbu2q2QirNFFqkhVpXhba1SDDW88Uw@mail.gmail.com>

We had a patron complain about seeing some youngster in our library playing
a violent video game recently.

Our library board now plans to discuss the matter in terms of policy.

Are there any libraries in our state that prohibit certain video games?  If
so, are they only prohibited to minors/minors who don't have parental
permission or to everyone?

Does any library have a specific policy statement on this matter?

I'm looking for assistance in best responses.

Thanks to all who respond.

Hi all,

Have you discovered the new linkage in MeL Database NoveList K-8 Plus<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=NOVEL>?  The MeL team worked with the tech support staff at EBSCO to connect NoveList K-8 Plus titles to the actual eBook in MeL's eBook collections available from EBSCO, eBook Collection<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=EBOOK> and eBook K-8 Collection<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=EBK8>.  If there is an eBook available after you do a search in NoveList K-8 Plus, you will see 2 links in the record: "Check the MeLCat Catalog" (for the actual print book) and an additional link: "Access this eBook via EBSCOHost eBooks" for that title.  Click on that link and it will take you to the eBook corresponding to the NoveList K-8 Plus entry. We think you'll find this additional feature very useful.  NoveList K-8 Plus<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=NOVEL> is a great resource to use to create summer reading lists, classroom reading lists and individual patron reading lists!  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?  Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.

Thanks to all for your replies so far.  Keep 'em coming.

In our case, the game in question was one they play through a website
called Roblox, which is marketed toward 8-18 year olds.  We don't lend any
video games at this point.  I am almost certain that the game that the
patron objected to did not show any blood splattering, only the action of
shooting people.

I host most of my clients? sites, but my clients with larger sites use CloudAccess. There $10/month plan comes with Joomla and Wordpress support if you don?t have an expert on staff.


?         They are Joomla and Wordpress experts

?         Their Cloud Control Panel is super easy to use and navigate

?         They provide daily backups ($10 plan allows you to restore your site yourself, $5 plan requires you to contact them)

?         Real nice email hosting service (free with either web hosting plan) if you don?t already use Google Apps

Hi All,

Do any of you use Cloud Access (url: http://www.cloudaccess.net/ )to host your library's website?  If so, I'm wondering how you would rate your experience thus far.

Thank you,

Hi all, 

I had someone inquire about using our meeting room for job recruitment. They asked if we would allow them to do drug screenings using our restrooms. Has anyone had this situation and do you allow the drug screenings? 


Thanks!

We also use cloudaccess.net and have had a really great experience so far (since late last year). The service is pretty solid, and very configurable using their control panel (CCP). I also have to say that their support staff has been very friendly and responsive. I don?t think we have had to wait longer than hour or two for an email response.

Thanks,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Using Music to Promote Libraries
Message-ID: <03C1398523530D48985C032FA6E816F0EE72316A@EROS.cadl.org>

Hi MichLib,

Here at CADL we've been using music promotions to get the word out about our library system. Currently, we're running a promotion where patrons can win a guitar signed by country star Dierks Bentley - we're calling it our "Star Guitar" promotion. To get the word out about the contest, we hosted a "site takeover" on local radio station's sites. Attached is an example.

We've also looked at local concerts and festivals as opportunities for promotion. Using hoopla (the digital service I'm sure many of your library systems also have), we asked patrons to check out digital albums from the service to be entered to win tickets to Common Ground Music Festival. The more items the patron checked out, the better their odds of winning tickets. The contest also improved our hoopla usage. We have had 7,379 hoopla checkouts this year, as opposed to 3,018 for the same period last year.

Last, our "Everything Right Here" ad campaign takes inspiration from local Lansing musician Taylor Taylor's music. She acts as a face of our campaign in certain outlets, appearing in commercials for the library, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y51KCFcqcg&feature=youtu.be

Is anyone else using music to promote their library? We want to hear your ideas!

Good Morning!

We would like to remind you that registration for the 2016 MHSLA (Michigan Health Science Librarians Association) Annual Conference is open!  The conference will be held on October 12-14, 2016 at the Baronette Renaissance Hotel in Novi, Michigan.

Here are some helpful links:
2016 Conference site: http://mhsla.org/home/2016/index.htm
Registration for Conference: http://mhsla.org/home/2016/registration.htm
Hotel Registration (MUST BE COMPLETED SEPARATE FROM CONFERENCE REGISTRATION): http://mhsla.org/home/2016/hotel.htm

Featured guest speaker will be Sally Gore, MS, MS LIS, research evaluation analyst for the University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science. In addition to her professional work, Gore also writes the popular blog A Librarian by Any Other Name, which discusses libraries, information and knowledge management, health sciences, and translational science.

There are also some great Continuing Education courses to choose from.

On Wednesday morning, Jessi Van Der Volgen will be teaching a 4 hour MLA CE Course Lean Process Improvement Demystified.  This course will prepare librarians to lead and foster innovation and Lean process improvement within their institutions. This course will familiarize participants with innovation concepts and Lean philosophy and methodologies for sustaining efficiencies and new revenue sources. This course will also examine the leadership roles librarians can forge with these key health care transformation strategies. Participants will learn through discussion, hands-on activities, case studies, and other methods. Content will include the five stages of innovation - ideation, stakeholder & market analysis, solution development, verification and validation. In addition, Lean processes including the various components of an A3 Lean template and tools that can be used while applying Lean principles will be explained. These tools include swim lanes, 5 Whys, 5S, Gemba, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke, Root Cause Analysis and Value Stream Mapping. The four hour course will focus on lean process improvement, and not include innovation. Participants will learn through group discussions, personal plan development, case studies, and other methods.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Message-ID: <415eca59a6f24fa3a6655f3e2c8e6278@exchange2013.b-hive.acpl.lib.in.us>

Good afternoon.  I am with The Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library and we are hosting the IFLA Genealogy & Local History Preconference.  Would it be possible to have this information added to your listserv?

The Allen County Public Library is pleased to support an IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations) Genealogy & Local History Preconference on August 10 - 11, 2016 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The preconference is free to attend.

This preconference will feature presentations and discussions on technologies and strategies for finding, saving and presenting (1) records, (2) family histories and (3) living memory in the twenty-first century as well as how these resources are made available worldwide. Come for the first day of interactive presentations and stay for the second day of unconference sessions and tours if your schedule permits.

International organizations will discuss their current efforts, technologies, and resources; state and regional organizations will demonstrate successful projects; and a second group of offerings will highlight the importance of story and interviewing techniques for preserving life stories. A theme woven through this preconference is recognizing and building virtual information networks to both preserve and present records, stories, and living memory.

Program details, registration, lodging information, and travel data, as well as a form for unconference session suggestions, can be found at the following URL.
http://genealogycenter.info/IFLAglh/

I have also attached a flyer for the Preconference.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Allison DePrey Singleton | Librarian

Would anyone be willing to share a "customizable" copy of a simple job application that you use at your library? I need to hire a new clerk, and realized that I don't have anything that I like.

Please respond off-list, directly to my email (below).

Calling All Librarians ---

 

I would like to invite you to a special event sponsored by the Midwest
Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS). 

 

They need input from libraries of all types, sizes, and geographic areas to
make this effort an authentic representation of Michigan libraries. Please
consider joining them and sharing your thoughts, challenges, and hopes for
the greater Michigan library community. You do not have to be an expert.
They want you to speak openly and candidly from your experience and point of
view.

The dates, times, and locations are listed below. All library staff are
welcome. To have a meaningful conversation, we will limit the number of
attendees at each session to 12. Because of this, we request that you
consider limiting the number of attendees from your library system.
Registration is free and on a "first come, first served" basis. A waiting
list will be kept. As in our first round, the meetings will be kept to 2
hours.

 

.             August 16, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Peter White Library,
Marquette MI (Shiras Room), Marquette

.             August 17, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Bayliss Library,
Sault St. Marie

.             August 23, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Traverse Area
District Library Woodmere (main) branch, Traverse City

.             August 24, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Fremont Area District
Library, Fremont

.             August 25, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Presque Isle District
Library, Rogers City

 

Some of the topics we would like to discuss are:

.             The evolving role of libraries in our local communities

.             Measuring impact

.             Skills needed for the 21st century library

.             Mentoring new librarians and emerging leaders

.             The state of information literacy and critical thinking skills
of students/the reduction of librarians in our schools

 

Registration is now open. To register for one of these sessions, click here.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Library PayPal Accounts
Message-ID: <61307fcb-3639-8218-29f2-33d5b68f1f3f@sdl.lib.mi.us>

One of the options we will have with a new circ system (Apollo) next 
month is to allow patrons to pay fines, etc. through PayPal. We would be 
interesting from hearing from libraries who offer this option.  Some of 
our specific questions are:

 1. Can or do you charge extra to cover the service fees from PayPal?
 2. Is there a minimum amount you allow the patrons to charge?
 3. How do you know what was paid for?  Since we have not seen this, we
    are assuming that the patron's record is cleared when they okay the
    charge, but we will also need to know if an item was lost & paid for
    as well as which branch is bringing in the money.

Any comments will be appreciated.  If there is interest, I am willing to 
post the response to the list.

--------------------------------------------


The American Library Association (ALA) is still accepting applications<http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/index.cfm> for the 2017 class of Emerging Leaders (EL).  Details on the program criteria as well as a link to the application can be found on the Emerging Leaders Web page<http://www.ala.org/educationcareers/leadership/emergingleaders/>. The deadline to apply is August 1, 2016.



The ALA EL program is a leadership development program which enables newer library workers from across the country to participate in problem-solving work groups, network with peers, gain an inside look into ALA structure, and have an opportunity to serve the profession in a leadership capacity. It puts participants on the fast track to ALA committee volunteerism as well as other professional library-related organizations.



An ALA division, round table, ethnic affiliate, state chapter or school library media affiliate will sponsor nearly all of the selected applicants.  Each sponsor will contribute a minimum of $1,000 toward expenses of attending the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference ($500 for each conference).  Sponsorship is not required for participation in the program. A list of sponsoring units is included as part of the online application.



For more information, visit the Emerging Leaders Web page<http://www.ala.org/educationcareers/leadership/emergingleaders/> or contact the EL project manager at emergingleaders at ala.org<mailto:emergingleaders at ala.org>.



The ALA Emerging Leaders program is managed by the ALA Office for Human Resource Development and Recruitment<http://www.ala.org/offices/hrdr/> (HRDR).

We are realizing we might be in need of an official animal policy and
wonder what other libraries have as part of their policy for animals
(particularly service animals).

It seems that under Michigan state law (
http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(nqmwg4pr2ildic24fhb2oyzd))/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&objectname=mcl-750-502c)
we are allowed to ask if an animal is a service animal, and if the patron
says yes we basically have to take them at their word.

Could you send me your policies? We're also curious if any other libraries
have had an attorney's involvement in drafting service animal policies.

Thanks!

Message-ID: <1265403702.18501562.1468267703077.JavaMail.root@baconlibrary.org>

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if there are any other libraries, besides us, that proctor exams for businesses?  Several years ago, we started proctoring skill assessment exams for a local chemical company.  As time has gone on, we've had increased problems with offering this service.  If this is something your library offers, do you charge the businesses for your proctoring services? If so, how much? Also, if anyone has a policy concerning this topic, please send it to me, I'd like to see it.

Thanks for the help,

Hi Margaret,
    As part of The Library Network, PayPal payments are an option for
patrons.  There is no extra charge for patrons, there is a $5.00 minimum,
and TLN generates a report for our library, indicating what was paid.  It
works quite well.  Of the PayPal payments that come to Brighton, there is a
fee deducted for PayPal.  However, we have been pleased with the 'results'.

There's a book called When We was Fierce by e. E. Charlton-Trujillo coming out August 9th that would probably be a good addition to the list.

Fifteen-year-old Theo isn't looking for trouble, but when he and his friends witness a brutal attack on Ricky-Ricky, an innocent boy who doesn't know better than to walk right up to the most vicious gang leader around, he's in trouble for real. And in this neighborhood, everything is at stake. In a poignant, unflinching novel of survival told largely in street dialect, e.E. Charlton-Trujillo enters the lives of teenagers coming of age in the face of spiraling violence among gangs, by police, and at home.

Message-ID: <CO2PR01MB2040CAE20675F58CA8A24D8AD3300@CO2PR01MB2040.prod.exchangelabs.com>

NAEP, often referred to as The Nation's Report Card, tests 4th and 8th grade students at a sampling of American schools on odd numbered years - such as 2017.  My purpose in contacting you is that our ideal applicants to do this testing are retired teachers and librarians.  We need about 70 more people from across Michigan for this project.

I attached some information on this project for your perusal.

The usual questions asked are:
Why retired teachers and librarians?  Because we are most familiar with how schools work and have years of experience working with children.
When does the testing take place?  The testing window is for six weeks - beginning on the third Monday of January and ending on the first Friday of March.
What does it pay?  Pay is determined by the Federal government pay scale with  Assessment Administrators paid an hourly wage, including travel time and mileage reimbursement, based on their county of residence.  The exact amount is given at the time of making application.

We need your assistance with this project.  I presume that you might have more questions.  Please do not hesitate to call me ... best on my cell phone.
Your speed and cooperation in assisting us will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone, If you are thinking that you can't afford to go or it wouldn't be worth it... I was one of the 2016 Emerging Leaders and it is worth the time and effort.  I met some wonderful people, presented before PLA's board with my group and was able to work on a project that actually makes a difference (reworking PLA's Professional Tools website).  Even if you don't take it any farther and get involved in committees or work groups, you will have been networked with people from all over the country, worked on projects that matter to our profession and learned from some of the leaders in our field.  
The application is free, its quick to fill out and if you don't apply then you can't be chosen.  Good luck! If you have any questions about the program, feel free to email me!

Subject: [Michlib-l] ALA Accepting Emerging Leaders Applications until	August 1








A great program and a great way to get plugged in to ALA, professional service, and continuing education.  -Steve








--------------------------------------------



The American Library Association (ALA) is still accepting applications for
 the 2017 class of Emerging Leaders (EL).  Details on the program criteria as well as a link to the application can be found on the Emerging
 Leaders Web page. The deadline to apply is August 1, 2016.

 

The ALA EL program is a leadership development program which enables newer library workers from across the country to participate in problem-solving work groups, network with peers,
 gain an inside look into ALA structure, and have an opportunity to serve the profession in a leadership capacity. It puts participants on the fast track to ALA committee volunteerism as well as other professional library-related organizations.

 

An ALA division, round table, ethnic affiliate, state chapter or school library media affiliate will sponsor nearly all of the selected applicants.  Each sponsor will contribute
 a minimum of $1,000 toward expenses of attending the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference ($500 for each conference).  Sponsorship is not required for participation in the program. A list of sponsoring units is included as part of the online application.

 

For more information, visit the Emerging
 Leaders Web page or contact the EL project manager at emergingleaders at ala.org.

 

The ALA Emerging Leaders program is managed by the ALA Office
 for Human Resource Development and Recruitment (HRDR).

Library Director, Ridgefield (CT) Library

 

The dynamic Ridgefield Library
<http://www.ridgefieldlibrary.org/index.shtml>  seeks an engaged and
energized leader as its next Library Director. Working in partnership with
the 16-member Board of Directors, a creative and committed staff, and 25,000
generous and supportive residents, the Library Director will lead the
Library in providing a vision for 21st century services and programs. The
successful candidate will have the desire and ability to develop effective
community partnerships, explore entrepreneurial activities, support and
engage in ongoing fundraising, and share a strong philosophy of service and
civic participation.  A new (2014) $20 million state-of-the-art building
offers the opportunity to lead a talented staff team (27.5 FTE) in this
vibrant community.  The Ridgefield Library, a 501c3 nonprofit organization,
has an annual budget of $2.6 million and is primarily supported by town
appropriation in conjunction with significant fundraising endeavors and
contributions. In addition to the budget, a vital Friends organization
provides funding for programs and other efforts outside the Library's
operating budget.

Ridgefield-Connecticut
<http://patch.com/connecticut/ridgefield/connecticut-magazine-ranks-ridgefie
ld-as-1-town-in-state> 's #1 Town (named by Connecticut Magazine in 2013)-is
a lively, picturesque New England community filled with neighbors who care
about each other. Ridgefield citizens generously give of themselves,
volunteering with the Library, the schools, sports programs, the
environment, arts and culture and social causes.  Ridgefield's public
schools are among Connecticut's best-90% of high school graduates attend
college. Ridgefield is also known for providing strong cultural amenities,
offering a rich selection of art galleries and studios, theater productions
and music. Ridgefield is the only town its size in the state to host a
professional symphony orchestra. Located in the foothills of the Berkshire
Mountains with a deep history dating back to colonial times, the town is
governed by a Board of Selectmen under Home Rule and has the lowest crime
rate in Connecticut. Ridgefield's proximity to New York City simply adds to
its appeal. To learn more about Ridgefield and the Library, visit Ridgefield
Links <http://www.gossagesager.com/ridgefieldlinks.htm> .  

Responsibilities. The Director of the Ridgefield Library leads the
organization, collaboratively developing and implementing the Library's
strategic vision and plan, and ensuring the fulfillment of the Library's
mission and its future success. The Library's Director works with a high
degree of independence and supports the governing volunteer Board of
Directors, fostering board development and problem solving while keeping the
Board informed of internal conditions and external developments. The Library
Director will be an articulate spokesman for the library and a supportive
contributor and team player within Town, fostering positive relationships
with elected officials, agencies and organizations. The Director will also
be a responsible steward of library funds, an active participant in
fundraising and development, and the final authority on all personnel and
operational matters. The Director creates and promotes a culture that
reflects the Library's values, encourages good performance, and rewards
creativity, innovation and productivity.

 

Qualifications. Minimum requirements are a Bachelor's Degree in business,
liberal arts, or library science and a minimum of six years of experience
leading as an executive director, director, or senior staff position in
complex organizations or the equivalent background and experience that will
enable the candidate to effectively perform the work required. Desired
qualifications include demonstrable proficiency in strategic planning,
policy development and execution; strong fundraising skills and experience;
demonstrated working knowledge and execution of business processes in a
large operation; demonstrated successful fiscal management skills;
successful leadership of a medium/large staff; and an excellent
understanding of project management. Additional abilities include managing
change, communicating effectively, providing excellent customer service,
maintaining relationships with major donors, supporters, and other community
leaders, and working effectively with elected officials and other public
constituencies.  The successful candidate must live within a reasonable
commute distance of the Town of Ridgefield.  A Master's Degree in business,
public administration, education or library science and experience reporting
to a governing Board are preferred.  To review the full job description, see
Director Position Description
<http://www.gossagesager.com/ridgefieldjobdesc.pdf> .  

 

Compensation. The hiring range for the position is $115,000 - $130,000
annually (with placement dependent upon qualifications) and includes a
competitive employee benefits package.

Calling All Librarians ---

I would like to invite you to a special event sponsored by the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS).

They need input from libraries of all types, sizes, and geographic areas to make this effort an authentic representation of Michigan libraries. Please consider joining them and sharing your thoughts, challenges, and hopes for the greater Michigan library community. You do not have to be an expert. They want you to speak openly and candidly from your experience and point of view.
The dates, times, and locations are listed below. All library staff are welcome. To have a meaningful conversation, we will limit the number of attendees at each session to 12. Because of this, we request that you consider limiting the number of attendees from your library system. Registration is free and on a "first come, first served" basis. A waiting list will be kept. As in our first round, the meetings will be kept to 2 hours.

*             August 16, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Peter White Library, Marquette MI (Shiras Room), Marquette
*             August 17, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Bayliss Library, Sault St. Marie
*             August 23, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Traverse Area District Library Woodmere (main) branch, Traverse City
*             August 24, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Fremont Area District Library, Fremont
*             August 25, 2016 from 10am-12pm (Eastern) Presque Isle District Library, Rogers City

Some of the topics we would like to discuss are:
*             The evolving role of libraries in our local communities
*             Measuring impact
*             Skills needed for the 21st century library
*             Mentoring new librarians and emerging leaders
*             The state of information literacy and critical thinking skills of students/the reduction of librarians in our schools

Registration is now open. To register for one of these sessions, click here. For questions, contact David Votta at vottad at mcls.org<mailto:vottad at mcls.org>

Libraries Read: 1 Book discussion events - Michigan location added!



There's still time to register<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7kohUzQvf7Llms2u2nVQGS22DK6mnrDOBLnxydIyDXGiPJA/viewform> and add your voice to the discussion!



"Is Google making us stupid?" Nicholas Carr asked, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story. Carr delves further into the question in his book The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains, the selected title for "Libraries Read: 1 Book." MCLS invited library staff across Indiana and Michigan to place votes on one of four titles to select one book that we will all read and discuss together for professional development. Nicholas Carr's book captured the most votes. In The Shallows, he explores the net's intellectual and cultural consequences.



MCLS encourages library staff to read the book throughout the summer, then join us in a Twitter chat and regional discussions about the book.



According to Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director, "During 2014, MCLS conducted a series of community conversations with librarians throughout Indiana and Michigan, utilizing the tools from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation.  The desire to have discussions in many formats, and to communicate with one another outside of our silos was a recurring theme.  By reading one book together, we aim to create deeper connections among libraries that span geographic and other boundaries."



Michigan Book Discussions:



  *   July 21, 2 pm Eastern.  Twitter Chat. Use the hashtag #mclschat
  *   August 3, 11 am to 1 pm Eastern. Salem-South Lyon District Library, South Lyon, MI: This discussion will be led by SSDL's own eximious Head of Adult Services, Donna Olson, Salem-South Lyon District Library
  *   August 5, 11 am to 1 pm Eastern. MCLS, Lansing, MI: This discussion will be led by Michigan librarian extraordinaire Kevin King, Head, Branch and IT Services Kalamazoo Public Library
  *   September 29. Peter White Library, Marquette, MI: This discussion will be part of the Upper Peninsula Region of Library Cooperation (UPRLC) meeting. Discussion times willbe during the afternoon breakout session.

Colleagues,

Through Google Analytics, we found that the bilingual programs in our Texas Reading Club manuals (2001-2012) are frequently accessed. This led to developing a web page of Resources for Bilingual Library Programs for Spanish-Speaking Children and Families at https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ldn/youthservices/Spanish, which includes indexes to 86  programs in those manuals plus many other programming resources.

The web page is still a work in progress and I hope you will let me know if you have suggestions for links to any additional resources. If the site will be helpful to librarians in your states, please feel free to share the link.

Best regards,

Subject: [Michlib-l] ISO former NMU Library student workers
Message-ID: <10eeeda9e92441c69b9c7e1e99634fef@EX01.ads.nmu.edu>

I'm trying to track down people who worked for Olson Library as students at Northern Michigan University. If you or someone you know was a library student employee at Olson Library, would you let me know, please?

    Name (and name when enrolled, if different)
    NMU Degree
    Graduation year
    Contact information

We'd like to find out how working in our library impacted our students so that we can tell our story to our community. We're also trying to build a contact list to share information and get feedback. We may even be able to host a library student employee reunion in the next year or so.

My quest has had interesting results so far. Two special surprises: 
  - I met a woman who worked for our library from 1937-41. She was a student worker for our namesake, Lydia M. Olson.
  - I learned that a librarian I knew from my Chicago days was a student employee here when she was an undergraduate in the 1970s.

Thanks much,
Leslie

I strongly support the ban on pets. As someone who has gone through years
of allergy desensitization and who still needs a rescue inhalers in the
presence of cats, this issue needs to be taken as seriously as peanuts
around kids!!

 Cromaine Library - deadline July 22

*/Cromaine is The Place to Connect to--/*

*Learn *- technology, online education, new interest

*Enjoy*? discovery, enrichment, cultural and leisure activities

*People *? expertise, gatherings and groups, friends, legacy

As a new member of the TLN Shared Catalog, we are excited to offer the 
resources of so many at the fingertips of our patrons. And, now, we will 
also have more space! Construction begins August 2016 with completion in 
spring 2017! Exciting! Increasing community engagement means keeping our 
staffing up. We have a 20-hour Adult Services Librarian position 
available. This has been our e-resources position, managing the many 
databases to which we subscribe separately, as well as the Adult AV 
selector, including Top Box Office DVDs in Demand (no holds), DVDs, 
audiobooks and e-books.All of our Librarians are cross-trained. You may 
not do a story time, but you?ll probably assist with desk coverage in 
Youth and at Circulation as well as some other programming (Quidditch 
Tournament anyone?) We believe we are the place to connect?with warm and 
friendly staff, the Web, and the community. If that?s your desire, 
interest, and future vision, too, then we need you!

Cromaine District Library is located near the intersection of M-59 and 
US-23?easy to get to from Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Flint. 
Cromaine-Village (built in 1927 and expanded in 1980) is the main 
library with the largest collection and programming space, but we also 
offer a popular collection and an increasing number of programs at the 
Crossroads Branch, in a strip mall, established 2005, but closing in 
2017 to concentrate our resources, human and financial, in one location.

Cromaine wins grants, including several National Endowment for the Arts? 
The Big Read. Grants for technology in Youth, local business 
sponsorships for an expanded summer concert series, exhibits from the 
Smithsonian and to be a pilot for a national grant program?we are a 
place to connect to culture, music, technology, makers, as well as 
reading in every format. We are an OverDrive (TLN?s Download 
Destination) plus Advantage and hoopla from Midwest Tape, library. Many 
of the grants support a very full event calendar (check It out at 
www.cromaine.org/Programs / Events).

And, MLS staff wage rates have been increased effective July 12: now 
$19.00 per hour to start, 20 hours per week; includes some evenings and 
weekends. MLA membership and national conference attendance (in 
rotation) paid. After successful completion of the 90-day introductory 
period, an increase to $19.50 is planned. Part-time positions at 
Cromaine have prorated paid time off, plus holiday pay, paid birthday, 
and paid bereavement leave as well as an opportunity to participate in 
AFLAC, but no other paid benefits.

Share your love for new technologies and public service with a community 
that loves its library and its library staff even more. Read the job 
description and send your application (available at 
www.cromaine.org--Cromaine News & Info), resume and a cover letter to 
?Librarian? at Cromaine or e-mail (preferred to be ?green?) to 
brentola at cromaine.org <mailto:brentola at cromaine.org> by July 22, 
2016?position applications accepted until filled.

Good Morning!

 

Wondering if anyone out there already has a written policy for what they
allow on background checks for staff/volunteers and what rules a person out.


We have decided on some certain red flags, and that other things on a
person's history would be ok to let through, so we would like to have a
written policy going forward. 

If you have one already, would you be willing to share it with me?

 

Thanks so much,

Deadline approaches!


There is a new look for Michigan Center for the Book Grants.  This year the organization will award one grant in each section of the state.  All applicants must identify from which section they are applying on the application form.  There is a map of the sections.



A goal of the Center for the Book is to bring literary activities to a broad range of people that might not otherwise have these experiences. One way we do this is to provide small grants for literary events in Michigan.



The Michigan Center for the Book is accepting grant applications now through July 21st, 2016 for the year. Please see the link below for an application and report form. The grant program is intended to assist libraries, nonprofits or schools to have free, public events that enhance or complement our mission to promote an awareness of books, reading, literacy, authors and Michigan's rich literary heritage. Grant funds are generously provided by the Center for the Book affiliate members.

Grants will be reviewed after July 22nd, 2016.

To apply for a grant please fill out the form at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCBGrants<https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.com%2Fr%2FMCBGrants&h=vAQF_mdxJAQE1KsRAM_Y-7uKSmnYazLffXXVoqTTeecu8Lg&enc=AZNVSdvqXojuZZbpVml8OO7VMpUst06voWxgxN1IXicBbHrcaQeZ_g50z6aHa8NcE-hZNPqGYCMqdiH7OHeOvKFCng7Z7nqHhs7TxRwbG9MX-iH7iq9P7ew7rKx-G823ToIFxSn0Esbs7zQhfuCrUFkE-pmQZ0xhH9lOux7jKcDRp--lGSV4y7zGn0WDUbY_3bdk1aL2eC784Ox2Psrpg5Da&s=1>.

Subject: [Michlib-l] MeL Minute - Gale LegalForms Enhancements
Message-ID: <BY2PR09MB10959D18EDC364C1AEFA600DC0320@BY2PR09MB1095.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Hi all,



Posted June 28, 2016 in the Gale Cengage Learning Blog:

Good news! Gale LegalForms<http://galesupport.com/legalforms_branding/splashPage.php?loc=lom_accessmich> is going mobile responsive and will undergo an interface update August 1. These enhancements improve usability and increase accessibility so that it's easy for users to navigate Gale LegalForms anytime, on any device. Users will appreciate the same reliable, up-to-date content on a modern interface with streamlined navigation and responsive design giving access to authentic, professional legal documents-and this is the only digital resource to offer legal forms that are state-specific.

A variety of search options are available including most popular legal forms, browse by main categories, and browse by sample searches.  If you're not finding what you're looking for when using the "Search Legal Forms" option on the left - try changing the default from "Categories" to "Titles".  It is important to note that not all Michigan courts may accept the legal forms contained in this resource. You may wish to check SCAO-Approved Court Forms<http://courts.mi.gov/administration/scao/forms/pages/default.aspx> or a law library for more examples and consult an attorney for assistance. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?  Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.

Message-ID: <016d01d1ddff$cc83e550$658baff0$@org>

Good afternoon!

I am working on an article regarding fine forgiveness and the unique
programs libraries do for it.  Some libraries do food for fines, some
libraries have you read for fines - does your library do something unique?
Please respond to me at the email below if you are willing to share.
Thanks!

Hi!On the way home from the Rural Library Conference we (my staff that was rooked into helping the hospitality aspect of the conference) were chatting about how fun it was to see all the librarians/staff from the libraries that we "see" on MEL labels. ?I had the crazy idea of challenging everyone statewide to keep track of the times you visit other libraries and at the next conference we could have a drawing for one of the fabulous gift baskets to give to you. ?Well, that has fallen by the wayside for now....but I am trying to visit as many libraries as I can on any of my little jaunts that I take. ?Today on my run up to Hastings quick, I beeped at Angela in Marshall, I was there recently... pulled up in front of Putnam but they were closed.....but awesome building...can't wait to go back and see how they have stuff in there. ?Missed Hastings by going around the wrong block (still had the son with me so had to keep going!!). Coming home I went up to Lake Odessa and toured their fabulous building....and awesome island in the middle of the work area!! ?Stopped in Sunfield but they were closed also. ?Now my mind is twirling about office space, storage space and our hours. ?So here... I challenge you to stretch a bit....stop and see a library you have never seen before.....and join me in my little Michigan Adventure!! :)Ha...we need passports....oh....don't get me started!!! lol?Joann CraterDirectorHudson Carnegie District Library (zv170)205 S.

** MEDIA ALERT **



*Ribbon Cutting Planned for 11am on Saturday, July 30 For Chelsea District
Library?s Upcoming *

*World War I Centennial Historic Display: Strong Foundations, New
Possibilities*





*WHAT:*



As part of a continuing effort to chronicle Chelsea?s history, the Chelsea
District Library <http://www.chelseadistrictlibrary.org> presents *World
War I Centennial: Strong Foundations, New Possibilities*, commemorating the
centennial anniversary of WWI.



The library has created and produced several community events focused on
art and culture including WWI-era photographs, letters, stories and
artifacts from local residents. The collection culminates with the
installation of two dozen 36-inch x 18-inch avenue banners hung on light
posts lining Main Street, as well as twelve large-format images (ranging in
size from 55-inch x 91-inch to 167-inch x 96-inch) placed on 11 community
buildings.



The 36 images chosen to be reproduced and displayed were among hundreds
submitted by Chelsea residents who have shared histories from the Great
War. This includes the only-known remaining photo of Herbert J. McKune, a
local Chelsea soldier who died on October 4, 1918 during the Battle of
Champlain in France. This photo is permanently on display at the Chelsea
American Legion Post #31, which was named in his honor. A reproduction of
this image will be featured on a banner gracing the library?s front steps.



*PHOTO & VIDEO OPS: Installation of banners and large-format images will
begin July 11 and will take approximately two weeks to complete, weather
permitting. *



All images selected to be displayed are being added to this Facebook album
<https://www.facebook.com/ChelseaDistrictLibrary/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10153752523857993>
throughout the month of July.



*WHO:*



The original concept for this project came from Deborah Greer, co-director
of Chelsea River Gallery <http://www.chelsearivergallery.com/>, who was
moved by a 2013 PBS documentary about artist Marian Marzynski titled
?Before I Was Anybody, I Was a Child Survivor of the Holocaust?. It
featured large-scale outdoor banners with images of child Holocaust
survivors from Warsaw. Inspired to bring the presentation concept to her
community, Deborah shared her ideas with the library staff when they were
looking for a way to mark the 100th anniversary of the Great War.
Recognizing the available canvases in the form of towering historic
buildings, which could display a series of larger-than-life images, the
concept for *Strong Foundations, New Possibilities* was born.



*WHEN:           *



Ribbon cutting: Saturday, July 30, 2016 (11-11:30am) featuring a welcome by
Mayor Jason Lindauer, comments from the centennial committee and a musical
rendition of ?In Flanders Field?
<http://www.greatwar.co.uk/poems/john-mccrae-in-flanders-fields.htm>* ? a war
poem written during WWI by Canadian physician, Lieutenant-Colonel John
McCrae.

****This is one of the most popular and most quoted poems from the war and
its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen
soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most
recognized memorial symbols for soldiers who have died in
conflict. Volunteers from the Chelsea VFW Post & Auxiliary 4076 will be on
hand to take donations for their Buddy Poppy Program during the event. *



Docents will host free guided tours of the historic installations from Noon
until 2pm, following the ribbon cutting ceremony. Space is limited to 25
people per trip, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The
south side tour includes bus transportation to the start of the walking
tour, while the north side tour will begin at the library steps. The
Chelsea Historical Society will also be giving tours of Chelsea?s Historic
Oak Grove Cemetery, pointing out gravesites for local area WWI veterans,
including some featured on the banners.



*Strong Foundations, New Possibilities* is held in conjunction with the
city?s annual Sounds & Sights Festival, and will be on display through
Veteran?s Day, November 11.



*WHERE:         *



The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at the Chelsea District
Library, 221 South Main Street, followed by free guided tours throughout
town.

Maps for self-guided tours will be available free for those who wish to
explore the exhibit on their own. Private guided group tours can be made
during the 5-month exhibit, with prior arrangement.



Artifacts will also be on display inside the Chelsea District Library
through November 11, including a helmet, binoculars, sword, riffle, medals,
journal, uniform and more.



*WHY:*



More than 100 years ago, America was gripped in the midst of World War I
(July 28, 1914 ? November 11, 1918). It affected U.S. troops overseas and
families back home in communities across the country, including those in
the southeast Michigan town of Chelsea, in Washtenaw County. *Strong
Foundations New Possibilities* is a chance for this community to share its
stories.



*EVENTS:        *



*Wednesday, August 10 (6:30-8pm) ? McKune Room @ Chelsea District Library  *



*General John J. Pershing?s Hello Girls:* *When the U.S. entered WWI in
1917, General John ?Black Jack? Pershing insisted on bilingual phone
operators near the front and the ?Hello Girls? were formed, enlisting
support from Bell Telephone. During this historical interpretation,
Lois Sprengnether Keel portrays Oleda Joure, a 16-year-old Marine City,
Michigan (103 miles northeast of Chelsea) teenager who received special
permission to enlist. In uniform and with music, Lois will tell the story
of how pre-war, Oleda and her brother were weekend musicians. When she
arrived in England and was asked to entertain the troops like her brother,
she had to refuse due to her Oath and risk of court-martial. After the war,
the Girls learned the army considered them contractors, not deserving
benefits. They did not receive recognition until 1977. Learn about this
group of heroic women of southeastern Michigan, including their only death
abroad. For more on Oleda?s unique story, click **here*
<http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc/hello.htm>*. **Registration Required.*



*HOW:              *



*Strong Foundations New Possibilities* is m*ade possible in part by a grant
from the *Michigan Humanities Council <http://www.michiganhumanities.org/>*,
an affiliate of the *National Endowment for the Humanities
<http://www.neh.gov/>* as well as the *Chelsea Chamber of Commerce
<http://www.chelseamichamber.org>* Tourism Action Plan Program (CTAP)*,

All,

TLN is offering a bulk buying opportunity for the new (release date is tomorrow, June 22) Bridge Magazine book Poison on Tap (A Bridge Magazine Analysis): How Government Failed Flint, and the Heroes Who Fought Back. 
I do not anticipate any discounted pricing for this book. Rather, we are offering this buy as a convenience for libraries that may not have the time or staff resources to procure this book themselves. The Flint water crisis was and still is a prominent news story, and Bridge Magazine is a highly respected publication. TLN will assess a $1.00 per book charge to help partially offset the cost of this project.

Please see the MLive article regarding the book:

Fostering Futures Scholarship event raises nearly $38,000

[FFS]The second annual Grand Rapids Fostering Futures Scholarship dinner event raised $37,900 for Michigan's Fostering Futures Scholarship Trust Fund. The money will help youth who have experienced foster care go to college.

"The generosity of people from the Grand Rapids area and around the state will help foster youths go to college and realize their dreams," said Robin Lott, Executive Director of Michigan Education Trust (MET). "Education is vitally important to Michigan's young people and to the state itself. However, many foster youths lack the support and financial resources that other young people have. That's why Fostering Futures Scholarship is so important."

One hundred eighty people attended the event at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park on June 23rd. The attendees enjoyed dinner and music, bought raffle tickets for prizes and bid on items in a silent auction. All monies raised will benefit Michiganders who have been in foster care.

Seventy percent of youth exiting foster care nationally say they want to attend college, but fewer than ten percent who graduate from high school enroll in college and less than one percent of those graduate from college, according to Casey Family Programs.

School's out for Summer - Advice on Saving for College

It may be summer vacation, but you should not put school completely out of your mind.

Another school year has come to an end. It seems like each year goes by faster and faster; before you know it your child is going to be graduating high school and heading off to college! Will you be ready?

As college tuition prices continue to climb it is important to make sure you and your child are prepared for these future expenses. Will you have enough money? Does your child understand how different majors and different schools may affect his or her tuition costs?

Here are some ideas of things you can do during the summer to help you prepare for the day your child goes off to college:

Register for a 529 plan

First, if you have not set up a 529 plan, do it. 529 plans are recognized as one of the best ways to save for college. Michigan has a couple of different plans to choose from. The Michigan Education Trust<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTYwNzE1LjYxNTk4MTYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE2MDcxNS42MTU5ODE2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzI0NTExJmVtYWlsaWQ9YmlnZ3N0aG9tYXNkQG1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdiZ1c2VyaWQ9YmlnZ3N0aG9tYXNkQG1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdiZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&109&&&http://www.setwithmet.com/> (MET) is Michigan's 529 prepaid tuition program. You purchase credits at today's rates to use for future tuition costs. The MET program can be used for tuition at in-state, out-of-state, public or private schools.

The Michigan Education Savings Program<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTYwNzE1LjYxNTk4MTYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE2MDcxNS42MTU5ODE2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzI0NTExJmVtYWlsaWQ9YmlnZ3N0aG9tYXNkQG1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdiZ1c2VyaWQ9YmlnZ3N0aG9tYXNkQG1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdiZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&110&&&http://www.misaves.com/> (MESP) is a 529 direct-sold investment savings account. It works a lot like a 401k. You put money into an account and choose from nine different investment options. When your child attends college the account balance can be used for tuition, room and board, books, etc.

Both programs offer a tax deduction on your State of Michigan tax return. And when you use the money for qualified education expenses, earnings are tax-exempt.

Contribute to your 529 plan

Now that you have your 529 plan set-up, you need to find ways to contribute to it. You always have the option of setting up automatic monthly payments in the account. You can also have friends and family make a contribution for events like birthdays and holidays. However, let's think of some other ways you can grow your 529 plan.

Perhaps your child just finished a milestone year-did they graduate from preschool, kindergarten or junior high? These are all great reasons to put an extra payment into their 529 account. Perhaps they earned good grades. Maybe each "A" gets an additional $10 added to their account.

Also, think about all the money you spent on school lunches this year. You could take that $5/day and add that to your account. Over the twelve weeks of summer, it would add up to an additional $720 in college savings.

It may be only July, but it is never too early to think about the start of the new school year-maybe make a "back-to-school" contribution. That contribution will make more of an impact than another new shirt.

And don't forget to get the kids involved. If you have older kids with summer jobs have them contribute some of those earnings into their college savings. Babysitting and lawn mowing money can add up fast!

Get them thinking about college

It is never too early or too late to get your child thinking about college. For middle school age and older children have them do research on career fields that interest them. They should think about what kind of education is required for that field, what kind of salary they would earn, etc. Is there a particular school they are interested in attending? Does that school offer the degree they want? How much does that school cost? Is there another school that is just as good, but cheaper?

A good way to get younger kids involved is to visit different college campuses. You don't have to do the official college tour-go to a sporting event, play or see a musical performance. Every school has some gem the locals like to go and see. Visit the book store, botanical gardens or campus library. You could even take a ride around campus on your bike and see the sights.

Early exposure to colleges can spark an interest in higher education.

Have a great summer!

with the largest collection and programming space, but we also offer a
popular collection and an increasing number of programs at the Crossroads
Branch, in a strip mall, established 2005, but closing in 2017 to
concentrate our resources, human and financial, in one location.



Cromaine wins grants, including several National Endowment for the Arts?
The Big Read. Grants for technology in Youth, local business sponsorships
for an expanded summer concert series, exhibits from the Smithsonian and to
be a pilot for a national grant program?we are a place to connect to
culture, music, technology, makers, as well as reading in every format. We
are an OverDrive (TLN?s Download Destination) plus Advantage and hoopla
from Midwest Tape, library. Many of the grants support a very full event
calendar (check It out at www.cromaine.org/Programs and Events).



And, MLS staff wage rates have been increased effective July 12: now $19.00
per hour to start, 20 hours per week; includes some evenings and weekends.

$19.50 is planned. Part-time positions at Cromaine have prorated paid time

that loves its library and its library staff even more. Send your
application (available at www.cromaine.org--Cromaine News & Info--Forms),
resume and a cover letter to ?Librarian? at Cromaine or e-mail (preferred

Library Director Position-Carmel Clay Public Library, IN

 

Connect|Discover a "once in a lifetime library opportunity" in a beautiful
Midwest setting. The Board of Trustees of the Carmel Clay (IN) Public
Library <http://www.carmel.lib.in.us/>  seeks a visionary, strategic leader

community forward providing quality services and programs. The CCPL
seven-member Board of Trustees is searching for that unique candidate who
has the energy and enthusiasm and ability to recognize and contribute to the
Library's successes and solid foundation in the Carmel Clay area. The new
Director will bring a talent to engage staff and the public in showcasing
and expanding the Library's role in the community as a welcoming, warm
physical space for Carmel citizens connecting to each other; collaborative
external partnerships; and being a strong, clear voice for CCPL.  The Carmel
Clay Public Library staff serves 86,293 residents through a single 116,385

 <http://www.carmel.in.gov/index.aspx> Carmel, Indiana, CNN Money Magazine's
No 1 Place to Live in America (2012), has transformed itself from a sleepy
suburban edge city of Indianapolis to a fast-growing, economically-thriving
vibrant city that is no longer simply a place to sleep at night.  Carmel
citizens are highly educated and value Carmel's excellent schools, low
taxes, and safe neighborhoods. It is a coveted place to live with distinct
areas and architecture. A progressive city government has adopted a
new-urbanism approach to planning-attracting a younger population starting
out in their careers and a seasoned citizenry who are looking for
empty-nester living. The City's approach to walkability has made Carmel one
of the most bike-friendly communities in Indiana. You can live, work, shop,
and enjoy a high quality of life without a car. Signature attractions
include the Carmel Arts and Design District (galleries, restaurants, and
shops); the Center for the Performing Arts under the artistic direction of
Michael Feinstein, and home for his Great American Songbook Foundation; and
the Monon Community Center-an outdoor nature and water park. For more

Microsoft Integrated Products Now Available in MeL!

[Christine Schneider]We are pleased to announce that Gale has now integrated Microsoft into many of the products we offer through MeL.  The Microsoft Integration offers any user the ability to create a connection between their Gale products and their Microsoft (personal or business) account. The integration is consistent in display and functionality with the previous Google integration, so where in the past you may have seen the Google option, you will now see the Microsoft option as well. Similar to the Google integration, once a user has signed in with their Microsoft account, they can download content, highlights and notes, or citations to OneDrive.



Here is a list of MeL's Google and Microsoft integrated products:



Academic Onefile

Computer Database

Expanded Academic ASAP

General Onefile

Gen reference Center Gold

Gale Virtual Reference Library

Infotrac Business collection

Infotrac Newsstand

Infotrac Student Edition

Kids Infobits

Military and Intelligence database

New York Times

Opposing Viewpoints in Context

Physical therapy and Sports Medicine

Psychology collection

Research in Context

Message-ID: <D0B1FF96464BCD40B1C569DCA62256F0AF3DFF@EXCHANGE2.pdl.local>

Hello All,

Our community will be welcoming a large (for us) number of refugee families over the next several months, mainly from Syria with a few Congolese families as well. This is relatively new for us, and I am hoping that some of you in the Michigan library world who have more experience serving refugee and immigrant families will be willing to share what type of services/programs you offer or would like to offer to support these families, or any other tips, ideas, or experiences that could be helpful to us.

Thank you!

Hello Librarians,

 

We are looking at our Circulation Policy and were wondering what other
libraries have for the number of items that can be checked out and if there
were any libraries that have limits on family members when someone in the
same household has an outstanding overdue fee/lost charges?  

 

Or, if you can reference the Michlib-l Archive of where I can obtain the
information (it can be hassle to research sometimes).

 

Please feel free to email me off list at director at pidl.org.  

 

Thanks,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Announcing Debut of Newly Redesigned Business Gateway
 in the Michigan eLibrary!!
Message-ID: <SN1PR09MB065469B36717463009112F3AB8360@SN1PR09MB0654.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce that MeL's new Business Gateway, http://mel.org/business has debuted today.  The gateway has been totally redesigned to better assist librarians and business services consultants who work with business owners and entrepreneurs as well as those who want to start a business and work with the resources on their own and on their own time.  The new gateway incorporates a series of 4 videos in which librarians, business services consultants and actual entrepreneurs talk about how using MeL's business eResources helps them to Start. Grow. Support. Succeed.  MeL's subscription eResources-available at no cost to all Michigan residents-are showcased on the gateway homepage along with targeted websites, selected business support organizations, and a Twitter feed from business support organizations.  This makes for an excellent launch pad for contributing to economic development in your area.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our "on screen talent" who appeared in the videos-librarians, business services consultants and actual entrepreneurs-all who have used MeL resources either themselves or in assisting entrepreneurs and business owners in their communities.  In fact, Nicolette Sosulski, Business Librarian at Portage District Library will be sending out an email to Michlib-l which I will forward to the other Listservs with links to live and recorded webinars and other supportive information for libraries.  Permanent links to tutorials for some of MeL's business eResources will also be in the How To section under "Helpful Links" on the gateway homepage.

Please share widely and as always, we welcome your feedback.

Best regards,
Deb

Librarians are the secret superheroes of the world! - - John Green

?PLACE: Public Libraries Advancing Community Engagement: Environmental Literacy Through Climate Change Discussions

The Califa Library Group is accepting applications for mini-grants to librarians in rural public libraries and under-resourced urban libraries who are interested in providing science-based adult programming focused on local weather challenges and threats.

The project, which is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will build your capacity to plan and facilitate science-based library programs in partnership with NOAA scientists. The library programs use videos and popular books to engage audiences and promote discussion. The professional development will include interactive webinars, online learning materials, peer support, and video case studies of similar adult STEM programs.

Participating libraries will receive program materials, a planning guide, marketing and promotional templates, and $1,000 for the three-part program series. Costs for the scientist participants will be covered.

Through exploration and discussion, participants will become aware of online tools that can provide information for their own community, family and individual planning for extreme weather and other climate events.

For more information or to apply: http://califa.org/place?

To change your subscription settings, including changing to a digest or to leave the list, please send an email to szach at amrms.com<mailto:szach at amrms.com>.

It contains 4 promotional videos, which are appearing on social media

There is one on business resources from MeL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxLIkqg-NAk&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4CDWs31-AKSuDUdxlAuKSdW&index=1
And another on how libraries help business patrons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-rc2IgCdPU&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4CDWs31-AKSuDUdxlAuKSdW&index=2
And one on business support organizations in MI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu4U0pnvhbI&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4CDWs31-AKSuDUdxlAuKSdW&index=3
And last, but not least, some business patrons talking about the difference all of these have made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-b1Tq0cZ84&index=4&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4CDWs31-AKSuDUdxlAuKSdW

I have been asked for a sheet of webinars and tutorials on the products mentioned, especially Demographics Now and Business Decision.
First, here is a video for Business Decision
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUaTFSo6UNw&feature=youtu.be

There is also a guide to Business Decision attached, as well as a white paper, if you are interested, in market segmentation in libraries.

Do any of you follow a practice where you allow kids to keep their library
cards on file in a rolodex (or drawer or box, etc) at the library? If so,
why and what are your policies/procedures regarding this? Your input would
be appreciated.

Hello library world schedulers:

I am curious to know how other public libraries staff Saturday shifts.
Could you please send me your thoughts on this off the list serv.  Does your
library rotate Saturdays, or is there always a set schedule?  Is it part
time staff, full time, or a mix?  

Thank you,

 Exhibition at the Orion Township Public Library
Message-ID: <3c5b0234d8764c718007a2655d4d6d9d@orionlibrary.org>


The Orion Township Public Library is pleased to host the traveling exhibition, Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?, which will be open to the public from July 30-August 22, 2016. The exhibition provides a fascinating glimpse into the complex field of human evolution research, and is based on a popular exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. We are proud to be chosen as one of 19 sites nationwide to host this exhibit.

We would like to invite you to the Exhibit Opening and Evening of Science which will begin at 7:00pm on Saturday, August 6th. Dr. Rick Potts, Smithsonian paleoanthropologist and curator of the Exploring Human Origins traveling exhibit, will be the guest speaker. He will explore the main themes of the traveling exhibit; how fossils, archeological remains, and genetic studies shed light on our connection with the natural world. For a full schedule of events, go to www.orionlibrary.org<http://www.orionlibrary.org>

Among other programs planned is an Educator Workshop for classroom teachers; science, nature center, and museum educators; homeschoolers on  August 8th at 10:00a.
Dr. Briana Pobiner, who leads the Human Origins Program's education and outreach efforts, and Dr. Rick Potts, the exhibition curator and director of the NMNH Human Origins Program, will present a training on human evolution for science educators. The workshop will feature exploration and hands-on practice in presenting the Human Origins Program resources provided for each community. These resources include a set of five early human skull casts; classroom-tested, high-school Biology teaching supplements on "What Does It Mean to Be Human?", and a teacher resource on cultural and religious sensitivity strategies. Please register at http://orionlib.evanced.info/eventcalendar.asp

You will find additional information attached. Please come visit the exhibit, attend one of the related programs, and/or post any of the attached flyers in your libraries.

Thank you,
Beth
The exhibition is offered by ALA's Public Programs Office<http://www.ala.org/offices/ppo> in collaboration with the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Human Origins Program<http://humanorigins.si.edu/>. It is made possible through the support of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation<http://templeton.org/> and support from the Peter Buck Human Origins Fund. The traveling exhibition is based on the Smithsonian's What Does It Mean to Be Human?, which opened in 2010; over 20 million people have visited the Hall of Human Origins exhibition since its opening.

More information about the webinar:
Getting Started with Statistics for Librarians
Does the term "p value" make you anxious when you read research articles? How high is your confidence level in interpreting research data? As librarians interact with more research through efforts with evidence-based practice and systematic reviews, they have a growing need for understanding statistics. This confidence-building course will help you be more comfortable with statistical concept for reading research findings and interpreting data.
Goals and objectives:
After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

  *   Understand basic statistical terms such as standard deviation, t test, p value, and so on
  *   Identify test measures used in published research studies
  *   Interpret the data, formulas, and graphs used in the research findings
Agenda:

  1.  Examine sample research papers and their data analysis findings. Highlight statistical terms that will be discussed.
  2.  Define the statistical concepts.
  3.  Use interactive exercises to verify understanding. For example, to examine different research studies and decide which test measure was used.
  4.  Reexamine the research papers and data to further reinforce the concept.
Presenter:
Jin Wu is an emerging technologies librarian at the University of Southern California (USC) Norris Medical Library. In this role, she tracks, investigates, and uses data proactively to address emerging trends that improve library services and promote library resources. Wu has extensive experience using various tools to gather and apply user information to make data-driven strategy and planning decisions. She has taught MLA continuing education courses on statistics and data analysis a few times in the past years. The classes were well attended and scored very well on evaluations. Wu is active in professional organizations and has given multiple presentations at national and local conferences. She is also a master's of business administration candidate at USC Marshall School of Business.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Beyond the Job Description: Ten Practical Tips for the New Rural Library Director<http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=654f5f5c7c46d0caf86eb7b61cad8816da89bb93b4d9728c851f7a65696d056f>
On paper, your job description as a library director may not cover some of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with serving a small or rural community. Juggling the nuances of a new position can be overwhelming, but equipped with a tool belt of everyday skills ranging from assessment to communication and outreach to time-management, you can move through your new role with confidence. This session will be useful for anyone interested in strengthening their role in the library, even if you aren't a director. Come learn from Jennifer Pearson, a successful new director at Marshall County Memorial Library (TN), 10 fresh tips for working with staff, boards, and the community to create a strong and vibrant library. Join us and bring your tips and ideas to help new directors succeed! This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.

Jami Carter, creator of the Self-Directed Achievement Model, is back to help you build your library's learning culture! The most innovative workplaces embrace learning as an essential activity for their employees. Since libraries are dedicated learning places in our communities, it is crucial that we practice learning intentionally and internally. But where do we begin? Learning is not one-size-fits-all for individuals or for organizations. This webinar, for all library staff, from front line to administration, encourages a broad approach to creating organizational learning structures. Learn how libraries of all sizes can map learning strategies to highlight the most impactful opportunities for staff.

There is a new look for Michigan Center for the Book Grants.  This year the organization will award one grant in each section of the state.  All applicants must identify from which section they are applying on the application form.  There is a map of the sections on the form.

The Michigan Center for the Book is accepting grant applications now through July 21st, 2016 for the year. Please see the link below for an application and report form. The grant program is intended to assist libraries, nonprofits or schools to have free, public events that enhance or complement our mission to promote an awareness of books, reading, literacy, authors and Michigan's rich literary heritage. Grant funds are generously provided by the Center for the Book affiliate members.

Grants will be reviewed after July 22nd, 2016.

Since 2000, it has been illegal to impose those kinds of residency requirements on municipal employees as outlined here:

http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-15-602

There are some exceptions (elected officials, volunteer firefighters, etc.) but those would not apply to library employees. You can require that employees live within a set distance of the community boundaries but again as outlined in the state law, that can be no less than 20 miles.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Residency policy

Hello, all. Do any of you have policies requiring staff to be residents of the library's city/county/district? If so, would you be willing to share your policy? Has anyone looked into this and decided not to pursue it?
Thank you,

We have a patron who cannot remember the titles or the author of a trilogy he would like to re-read.  The stories have to do with a boy as the main character who is in middle school and has asthma.  His friend is a girl in middle school.  He goes through a portal where there are tow disputing groups.  One wants to stop mining and the other is in favor of it.  There are about seven levels to the bottom where the mining takes place and where there is dark matter that is creeping up through the levels.  If the dark matter reaches the top, everything will be destroyed, including Earth.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  Thanks for any help!

Greetings! 

Many of you knew Leslee Niethammer, who was Director of Saline District Library for 27 years before her passing earlier this year. Leslee was an important member of the Saline community and dearly loved by all. There is a local initiative to create and install a sculpture in one of Saline's parks to honor Leslee's memory. The artist, Valerie Mann, was a close friend of Leslee's and is a friend to our Library. She has asked that I share information about the project with librarians who knew Leslee and may be interested in learning more and/or participating in the effort to fund the project, named Leslee's Smile. Please see the link below for more information. 

Thank you!

Mike,

Here is one of the places where the library position listing could appear - The weekly Library of Michigan Bulletin (see below).  If you scroll half way to the bottom, you will even see a listing for a high school position in Lansing.  I will send other ideas in another email.

The MeL team worked with the tech support staff at EBSCO to connect NoveList K-8 Plus titles to the actual eBook in MeL's eBook collections available from EBSCO, eBook Collection<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6Im13aWxzb25AZ3RhY3Mub3JnIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5fbGlua19pZCI6IjEwMSIsInN1YnNjcmliZXJfaWQiOiIzODk3ODk1MzgiLCJsaW5rX2lkIjoiMjkxMDI0MTYiLCJ1cmkiOiJicDI6ZGlnZXN0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cDovL2dhbGVzdXBwb3J0LmNvbS9taWdlb2lwY2hlY2svbWlnZW9pcGNoZWNrLWVic2NvLnBocD9kYXRhYmFzZT1FQk9PSyIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAxNjA3MTEuNjEzOTcxMDEifQ.gJVz1s7doc_hNnSDhvZFYMaGdB55bZuYmj_NQe6oYKM> and eBook K-8 Collection<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6Im13aWxzb25AZ3RhY3Mub3JnIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5fbGlua19pZCI6IjEwMiIsInN1YnNjcmliZXJfaWQiOiIzODk3ODk1MzgiLCJsaW5rX2lkIjoiMzY1NDgzMjAiLCJ1cmkiOiJicDI6ZGlnZXN0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cDovL2dhbGVzdXBwb3J0LmNvbS9taWdlb2lwY2hlY2svbWlnZW9pcGNoZWNrLWVic2NvLnBocD9kYXRhYmFzZT1FQks4IiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDE2MDcxMS42MTM5NzEwMSJ9.7JUcpYfGS1zN9JIMiTF5JqqulYjNUqcKBoAh0RLEcVY>.

Hello Fellow Librarians,
     The Big Rapids Community Library is looking into options for ILS software. We currently use Sierra, an Innovative product, but due to our current user arrangement we are looking to switch systems in the next year or so. If you could provide any feedback on what you like about your current system or what you dislike about your current system, particularly pertaining to MeL, it would be much appreciated.
Please respond off list.
Thank you,

Amy -?We did a scavenger hunt this year to kick off summer reading. It was intended as a "walk around town", and was done in partnership with local businesses and sponsored by a local school fitness boosters group.
We themed it around the picture book "Miss Moon: Wise Words from a Dog Governess", and assigned one of her "lessons" to each participating business or location. Participants completed an activity at the business in order to receive a small card with that "lesson" printed on it. ?Those who collected all the lessons received a small prize back at the library. ?Each location also displayed a laminated sheet from the book, a bit like a Storywalk. ?We plan to use those sheets for a Storywalk here at the library this fall.
I'm attaching a few of the files we used. ?It was very popular and we've already promised to do it again next year.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Someone asked for the feedback I received from the Saturday rotation
question the other day.  I had 43 responses.  Almost all except 1 or 2 had a
variation of rotating Saturdays.  Some libraries rotated full time, some
part time, many both full and part time.  A couple libraries let the staff
pick on a monthly schedule.  

Thank you for all the information.

Subject: [YSCON] Registration and travel stipends available for the SPELL Symposium


Hi all,

Please consider this professional development opportunity for your yourselves and feel free to pass it along to librarians in your state:



We are pleased to announce that the SPELL (Supporting Parents in Early Literacy through Libraries) Symposium is open for registration. This interactive event is the culmination of the State Library?s three-year SPELL (http://spellproject.weebly.com/) project, funded by IMLS, in which project staff and partners sought to find and field test promising practices to support low-income parents of children birth through three with easy ways to incorporate early literacy activities into their daily lives, to remove barriers to library use, to form strong partnerships with state and local organizations, and more. The event details:



  *   When: Thursday, September 8, 9:00 to 4:30

  *   Where: Holiday Inn Lakewood, 7390 W. Hampden Ave, Lakewood, Colorado

  *   Who: Library staff and administrators, early childhood educators and administrators, library and ECE students, staff at nonprofits and foundations, and stakeholders who are interested in supporting parents with young children through early literacy messaging and activities; in learning about strong literacy-related partnerships between public libraries and a wide range of organizations; in meeting and networking with like-minded individuals; and in creating a plan to better support low-income parents with young children.

  *   Cost: Free!

  *   Attendance capacity: Attendance is limited. Registration will be available on a first-come, first-served basis; we will maintain a waiting list should it fill up.

Go to http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2919755/SPELL-Symposium-Registration to register.



There are a limited number of travel stipends available for both Colorado and out of state participants; that application is available at http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2929129/SPELLSymposiumTravelStipendApplication



And you may also consider attending the excellent CLEL (Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy) Conference the following day, also in Lakewood: http://www.clicweb.org/clelconference. Registration for that event is now open, and SPELL Symposium travel stipend recipients are eligible to receive free registration to the CLEL Conference.



The SPELL Symposium will cover:



  *   A lunchtime keynote address by Paul Raeburn, author of Do Fathers Matter? What Science is Telling Us about the Parent We've Overlooked

  *   An overview of and results from the three-year SPELL project, including original research and field testing in eight public libraries in Colorado

  *   A discussion of common challenges parents face in incorporating early literacy and other learning activities into their daily lives, as well as their barriers to library use--and evidence-based methods to make it easier for them to do both

  *   A look at each of the eight SPELL prototypes in Colorado, with time to talk with staff at those libraries and their partners

  *   Important lessons learned throughout SPELL, and how you can incorporate those lessons into your organization's plans to support low-income parents with young children

  *   Time to reflect, discuss, network, and plan

  *   A handy SPELL bag filled with professional development books, handouts, and more!

  *   ...and lunch! Lunch will be provided for free



Many thanks to IMLS and the Colorado Library Consortium for their important financial support of this event.



Please let me know if you have any questions about the forms, Symposium, or SPELL itself. We hope to see you in September at the Symposium!

Thank you, Beth

Does a Board have to approve the bills at the Board Meeting?  Or, can we set
up online billing and payments?  We have a Board member who insists on going
electronic but wasn't sure if they had to be approved by the whole Board
first.  Is there a method we need to adopt?

Dear Friends,
Does anyone know an antique appraiser who does appraising as a fundraiser for a library? We are looking for someone to do a fundraiser. We would charge the patron a reasonable fee per item (such as $5) and split it with the appraiser. Any suggestions are welcome.

Does a Board have to approve the bills at the Board Meeting?  Or, can we set
up online billing and payments?  We have a Board member who insists on going
electronic but wasn't sure if they had to be approved by the whole Board
first.  Is there a method we need to adopt?

Hi Stephanie,

I highly recommend Bob Ramsey.  I heard about his appraisal programs at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial, and then had him here 2 or 3 times at the Hazel Park District Library.  He is excellent--extremely knowledgeable.  His number is (313)885-4784. 

Best,

Dear Friends, 


Does anyone know an antique appraiser who does appraising as a fundraiser for a library? We are looking for someone to do a fundraiser. We would charge the patron a reasonable fee per item (such as $5) and split it with the appraiser. Any suggestions are welcome.

Stephanie,


We used:


Dan & Judy Landino

586-268-8692



Keith Zessin

586-707-8880

for an appraising fundraiser at our library in April.

I would highly recommend all 3.

I am on the other side of the state & I don't know if they travel - but it never hurts to ask.
They may also know someone on your side of the state who would do a program.

[Toddler writing numbers on chalkboard]
Fun with Science and Math
for Parents and Children

This is the last in this series of newsletters covering three workshops from the Every Child Ready to Read Project that is on a special topic. In May we looked at  Fun with Letters, June was Fun with Words, and now, the Fun with Science and Math workshop.  All three workshops can be presented to parents, grandparents, and/or childcare providers, however the child is also present. Here is a brief look at this workshop.

To present the workshop, librarians are encouraged to display an assortment of materials for children ages two to five including picture books and informational books related to science and math, also activity books parents can use to find science and math activities that their children may enjoy. Also, you should have a fun math or science activity the families can do together. The case is made that the more a child learns about the world around her, the more words she will be exposed to. Children are natural scientists and mathematicians who use basic science and math concepts every day by exploring, predicting, sorting, classifying, comparing and contrasting. The manual has a sample science activity that you can do by exploring ice cubes (or you can do your own activity). Another activity has children learning new words by observing pictures of a monarch butterfly. Then simple math concepts are discussed such as more and less; large and small; long and short; and shapes and repeated patterns. The suggested math activity is using machine tape to measure the height of the children present. Though the manual does not mention this, if you have legos or duplos, there are various math concepts you could introduce using them, plus it would provide a fun play activity.

A handout on books about science and math is included in the Every Child Ready to Read manual. However, I would like to mention a few of my favorites that have been published in the last year that are not included in the bibliography since it was compiled several years ago.

New Books of the Month
[The Cookie Fiasco]


The Cookie Fiasco. By Dan Santat. Disney-Hyperion, 2016. ISBN: 978-1484726365, $9.99.


[We Are Growing]


We Are Growing. By Laurie Keller. Disney-Hyperion, 2016. ISBN: 978-1484726358, $9.99.


Many of us were disappointed to hear that Mo Willems has written his last Elephant and Piggie book. Not only did kids love them, but they were fun to booktalk, and I even acted out a few of the stories with props. But all good series must come to an end, and now at least other authors/illustrators have a chance to win a Geisel Award or a Geisel Honor Award as the Elephant and Piggie books won numerous times over the years!

There is now a new beginning reader series (Yikes! They also could win a Geisel Award!) called the Elephant and Piggie Reading Series. Each book is introduced by the Elephant and Piggie characters in a few short pages, and at the book's end, Elephant and Piggie also conclude the story. Different authors/illustrators will write each book and supposedly, these are some of elephant and piggies' favorite books to read. The dialogue-driven text is written in a storytelling style, and the books could be read to younger children who have not yet learned to read, because of their silly humor. The first two books are being released September, 2016, but many more will follow.

After attending the American Library Association Conference in Orlando, Florida this June, I literally ran into Mo Willems at the Orlando airport food court and chatted with him while we both ate lunch. He will be editor for the entire series, which is a new role for him (editor). So, his talents now include: cartoonist; writer and animator for Sesame Street where he garnered six Emmys; stand-up comedian in NYC; animator for other TV series; author and illustrator for numerous award-winning books; producer of children's videos that have won the Carnegie Medal; and now, editor. Some people have a never ending list of talents!

Here is a brief recap of the first two books in the series arriving this fall:

The Cookie Fiasco. Four friends, hippo, croc and two squirrels, have a problem. There are four of them, but only three cookies. How can they make an equal number of cookies for all of them to enjoy?

We Are Growing!  Walt and his friends are grass blades that are really growing! Each of them has a special characteristic: the tallest; the curliest; the silliest; etc. But Walt feels he is not anything special. It takes a lawn mower to bring them all back to size for Walt to realize what his specialty is.

Websites of
the Month

I am mentioning two articles from websites this month. The first is from Bustle and concerns a fact I talk about in every lecture I present.

Reflections

Summer Reading Programs are well underway, and by the time you read this, some of you might already be wrapping up your program. This year I saw a lot of activity on listservs on how libraries keep track of children's reading during summer programs. This question seems to arise every year, and there are some libraries that have tried to come up with unique ways. For example, reading 20 minutes for 20 days; counting days read; counting pages read; simply writing titles; and "filling out a book review form, where children write and/or draw about a book they have read, no requirements on reading time or length or quality of writing/drawing." YIKES! The last one is what we did when I first became a children's librarian back in the ancient year of 1976, so I guess that is definitely a retreaded idea! There are many other ideas, but just to make you think a little, I am going to direct you to an article that talks about how any recording, logging  OR REWARDING book reading by giving prizes is a negative thing to do, and actually deters some children from reading, even for children that previously loved reading! I am sorry to say that I saw this happen with my grandson with a school reading program. You would not be able to find a child who loved reading as much as he did. But once in school, when he had to read and log his book reading, he began to dislike it. It was no longer fun for him, but became an assignment. So check out this article and think about whether you might want to adjust your summer reading program for 2017!

Can Reading Logs Ruin Reading for Kids?<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTYwNzI2LjYxOTgxNjExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE2MDcyNi42MTk4MTYxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzI4OTQ1JmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&104&&&http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/06/are-reading-logs-ruining-reading/485372/> Rather than creating a new generation of pleasure-readers, forcing kids to keep track of their reading time can turn it into a chore.

As libraries shape their futures - and adapt to the future needs of their communities - what are the near- and long-term trends that point to our brightest opportunities. What can we learn from library innovators and innovators from other sectors and industries that will help us shape the future we want and that our communities aspire towards?

Explore with us some of the key trends that point toward specific futures for libraries, and engage in conversations with civic, social, and education innovators to learn more about what they think about the future, and how libraries can become an integral part of their future visions. Libraries and librarians are well-positioned to envision the future - at the intersection of information, education, technology, and community - and this dialogue will help bring our best thinking together with the exciting visions of our collaborators, allies, and partners.

Message-ID: <35F0E43D07E5FF40AAC3169C44D28CF644B804D6@HUD01.hud.local>

Hello All,



Here is the flyer for our two upcoming Continuing Ed workshops  on Friday, September 16 called "Learn Tips and Tricks using the Dewey Decimal System."



As most of you deal daily with Dewey - I'll give you a little more detail so that you can see how this may still help you improve your skills, even if you've been working in libraries for a few years now.



The morning session "Finding Items Using Dewey" is aimed at any staff member who works with patrons to find books on a certain subject.  Many times a subject is located in more than one Dewey number - and you'll learn some tips on finding all aspects of a certain topic!  This would be great especially for new employees or those who always have a nagging feeling that they are missing something!



The afternoon session "Assigning Call Numbers Using Dewey" is a general overview of how to assign a call number and will touch on the most often used subdivisions and tables.  This would be great for folks who have been thrown into cataloging with no specific coursework behind it - but also those who just wonder why do certain numbers seem to be always tacked on to others?



Both of these sessions are taught by experienced catalogers: Susan Kroes (Hackley Public Library) and Jeri Walsh-Allis (Herrick District Library.



Registration is open today.  You have the option of indicating whether you would like to purchase a $10 boxed lunch that will be served in between sessions.    Feel free to purchase the lunch whether you sign up for just one of the sessions - or both.



If you have any questions please let me know.  The flyer is attached!

Good Morning,


I am in the process of researching and obtaining quotes for a computer reservation system for our public consoles. All of the systems I have looked into seem to be within a couple hundred dollars of each other, so I'm wondering what other Michigan libraries are using. What do you like about your specific system, what don't you like, and any other general words of wisdom you may have are all greatly appreciated.


Right now I have quotes from iTeam Resources (Re-Quest), Envisionware (PC Reservation) and Librarica (CASSIE).

Thank you,

Anna Curtis, Director

Hi, Dillon,

I was at a session at ALA where the presenter (Debra Fine, The Art of Small Talk) gave a good example of a way to end a conversation with a long-winded speaker.  She always acknowledges what the speaker is saying and states that she has just a minute before she has to complete another task.  She then asks the speaker a pointed question about what they are talking about so they have the last word.  After that minute, she politely stops conversation repeating that she?s needed somewhere else and walks away thanking the person for sharing.  She is careful to actually do the thing she told the person she had to do to maintain her credibility and save the relationship.

Questions were something like:  I can see that you love gardening, what brings you the most satisfaction?  Or, You are obviously so proud of your grandchild, tell me one thing that you are most proud of them for doing?

I hope this helps!

Hi.Small library. 8 member appointed board. Once upon a time, my board had a personnel committee, finance committee and a building committee.At a workshop or something, a comment was made that a board this small should not have committees. So my board abolished all committees and nowappoints ad hoc. Committees were wonderful from my point of view. What experiences, yay or nay, have you had or do you have, with or withoutcommittees? ??Joann CraterDirectorHudson Carnegie District Library (zv170)205 S.

How about simply stating, ?I would really love to chat with you some more, but I need to get back to work.? In my experience, staff are reluctant to disengage from needy patrons for fear of looking rude. Devoting too much time to one patron at the risk of not attending to another patron?s needs or work that helps all the community is actually rude.

Most of the time this comes down to discussing best tactics with staff and trusting that the staff can manage a difficult customer service interaction. Also remember that each interaction will be different, so it is best to devise plans that will work for different interactions.

Finally, if your staff is reluctant to being proactive then remind them that a key component to working at a public library is the PUBLIC. If you are uncomfortable working with ALL members of the public, then look for another job.

Sincerely,
Kevin

This isn?t really a ?resource,? and definitely not ?training,? just my personal experience!  But I?ve found that disengagement is a lot more successful (and easier) when employing a few basic methods and strategies geared toward reframing your departure from the interaction.  Rather than presenting your need to leave as the problem (which tends to make the patron feel devalued), present an external problem that the patron can choose to assist you with:

1.  I always try to do what the first respondent was saying?..Tell the patron that you have to go, BEFORE you actually intend to end the interaction.  So, I would say, ?I?m afraid I?m going to have to get back to my project,? then say something else about what the patron was talking about, ask them a question, etc.  This helps to demonstrate that the reason for your departure is to go TO something, not AWAY from them, and that you?re truly interested in the conversation.  After another few sentences I would repeat it, and then the third time actually leave.  This makes it seem to the patron like you stayed with them long after you were supposed to be somewhere else, which makes them feel valued.

2.  When I do tell them I have to break away, I try to imply that the task I?m going to is less pleasant than talking to them would be.   I probably wouldn?t say something like, ?I have to get back to work,? because people might tend to hear ?work? as something ?important? (more important than what they?re saying).  I would probably say, ?I have to make a phone call to a patron,? or ?I have this report my director is waiting for me to finish,? or something like that.  You can even roll your eyes a little bit as though the task you?re going to is something you?d rather not have to do, so that the person sees you as torn.  They almost always respond to this by offering to ?help? you get your task done by wrapping up their comments.

3.   Maintain eye contact and positive body language right to the end of the interchange.  I?ve found that if I start looking away, like looking towards the desk I want to get to, or looking at the phone, or at another staff member, patrons may tend to feel dismissed or like their concerns have become boring.  If you look right at them right up until the end, and smile and sort of lean towards them even as you?re walking away, they tend to believe that you?d prefer to stay and talk with them but you have to leave for reasons beyond your control.

4.  Depending on what it is they?re saying, if I sense that they?re really reluctant to wrap it up, I usually try to find something to say to give the illusion of extending it.  Like, if they?re talking about a research question, I?ll tell them that I?m going to do some further research on it and email it to them (of course you then have to really do it!).  But giving them a piece of paper to write down the question and their email address breaks their flow of speech, and provides them an  additional way to help them feel that they?re taking action and that you?re going to continue to think about them even after they go.  And getting their email gives you a way to send them the info. without having to talk to them again.  In some cases I might walk them over to Reference or offer an interlibrary loan of something.  If they?re just ?venting? about something in their life, I try to give them a story of my own that reflects the fact that I totally understand what they?re facing (?I just got my own car insurance bill and it?s up to $229/month?  (true story!!).  Just anything that sort of repeats back to them their point, or shows them that you?ve ?gotten? how they feel, will validate them, which might make it seem to them that the conversation has come to a natural end because their goal has been met.

I think a lot of times staff fall into the trap of laying our problems on the patron, as though he/she is a part of them, which leads to bad customer relations.  If you say something like, ?I?m working the desk by myself and I have a line of six people waiting,? the patron hears that your life is difficult and he?s just one more annoyance on your plate.  But if you say, ?Can we pick this up later; I hate to keep people waiting when they?re ready to check out,? the same person will feel like a million bucks because he just helped you serve six patrons by letting you go.   You?ve basically said the same thing, but the delivery makes all the difference between the person feeling rejected or feeling valued.

It seems to me that most patrons, no matter what they?re saying, are looking for some evidence that they?re important to someone, and when we?re able to make them feel that way they suddenly view the library as a terrifically valuable place.  This is even doubled if we can then find a way to make them feel like they?re playing some role in helping us do the same thing for someone else.  So I always just try to make that my primary goal when a conversation is making me wish I were at the dentist instead!  Unless the person is totally off the map and psychotic (and even sometimes when they are), it usually works pretty well in facilitating a disengagement that doesn?t make anyone uncomfortable.

This ended up longer than I meant it to?..

Hi all,

By now you know about and have utilized the Google tools integrated into many of Gale's MeL databases. Share to Classroom and Google Drive greatly expand the flexibility and portability of the Gale databases content.  Just announced on the Gale Blog, many of Gale's databases now also include Microsoft Office 365 integration, "further enabling users to access Gale content anytime, anywhere, and from any device. These easy-to-use collaborative tools allow users to:"

  *   After authentication into your Gale products, login to Microsoft Office 365 with your Microsoft credentials
  *   Store, sync, and share files by downloading Gale content to your OneDrive account in the cloud
  *   Easily transfer downloaded OneDrive content for use in other Microsoft tools like OneNote and Classroom

Message-ID: <DE04191A3958DB40BBF9622D0D3B45FCCD1CBC@EX2.staff.btpl.local>

Hello,
I'm looking into purchasing some new holders for the iPads we have available for patron use in the Youth Services area of our library.  I'm wondering if anyone is using the Space iPad Flex iPad  mount (https://www.maclocks.com/ipad-enclosure-ipad-mount-ipad-kiosk/space-flex-ipad-enclosure-ipad-mini-enclosure-flex-your-pad.html) or something similar with a flexible neck and locking enclosure.  I haven't been able to find reviews online, and am hoping that someone in the library world has tested this (or a similar) mount.  Please reply off list to my email, hudakemi at btpl.org<mailto:hudakemi at btpl.org>.  Thanks in advance!

We just bought these - but haven't got them out for the public yet.  Another library recommended them and has used them for awhile.

Kensington SecureBack Rugged enclosures with a hand strap for patrons to just hold it in any position they choose.  The ipad goes in these and you buy the separate Kensington click lock to hook the ipad in the enclosure to the desk.   The other library also recommended the Zagg HD screen protectors which are pretty important for fingerprints and protection.

We were afraid a fixed mount would wreck the table - but also might not be in the right place for whoever wanted to use it.

My granddaughter loves holding it in her lap and using it - something she'd never be able to do if it was mounted.

Subject: RE: [Michlib-l] Staff Disengagement Training

This isn?t really a ?resource,? and definitely not ?training,? just my personal experience!  But I?ve found that disengagement is a lot more successful (and easier) when employing a few basic methods and strategies geared toward reframing your departure from the interaction.  Rather than presenting your need to leave as the problem (which tends to make the patron feel devalued), present an external problem that the patron can choose to assist you with:

1.  I always try to do what the first respondent was saying?..Tell the patron that you have to go, BEFORE you actually intend to end the interaction.  So, I would say, ?I?m afraid I?m going to have to get back to my project,? then say something else about what the patron was talking about, ask them a question, etc.  This helps to demonstrate that the reason for your departure is to go TO something, not AWAY from them, and that you?re truly interested in the conversation.  After another few sentences I would repeat it, and then the third time actually leave.  This makes it seem to the patron like you stayed with them long after you were supposed to be somewhere else, which makes them feel valued.

2.  When I do tell them I have to break away, I try to imply that the task I?m going to is less pleasant than talking to them would be.   I probably wouldn?t say something like, ?I have to get back to work,? because people might tend to hear ?work? as something ?important? (more important than what they?re saying).  I would probably say, ?I have to make a phone call to a patron,? or ?I have this report my director is waiting for me to finish,? or something like that.  You can even roll your eyes a little bit as though the task you?re going to is something you?d rather not have to do, so that the person sees you as torn.  They almost always respond to this by offering to ?help? you get your task done by wrapping up their comments.

3.   Maintain eye contact and positive body language right to the end of the interchange.  I?ve found that if I start looking away, like looking towards the desk I want to get to, or looking at the phone, or at another staff member, patrons may tend to feel dismissed or like their concerns have become boring.  If you look right at them right up until the end, and smile and sort of lean towards them even as you?re walking away, they tend to believe that you?d prefer to stay and talk with them but you have to leave for reasons beyond your control.

4.  Depending on what it is they?re saying, if I sense that they?re really reluctant to wrap it up, I usually try to find something to say to give the illusion of extending it.  Like, if they?re talking about a research question, I?ll tell them that I?m going to do some further research on it and email it to them (of course you then have to really do it!).  But giving them a piece of paper to write down the question and their email address breaks their flow of speech, and provides them an  additional way to help them feel that they?re taking action and that you?re going to continue to think about them even after they go.  And getting their email gives you a way to send them the info. without having to talk to them again.  In some cases I might walk them over to Reference or offer an interlibrary loan of something.  If they?re just ?venting? about something in their life, I try to give them a story of my own that reflects the fact that I totally understand what they?re facing (?I just got my own car insurance bill and it?s up to $229/month?  (true story!!).  Just anything that sort of repeats back to them their point, or shows them that you?ve ?gotten? how they feel, will validate them, which might make it seem to them that the conversation has come to a natural end because their goal has been met.

I think a lot of times staff fall into the trap of laying our problems on the patron, as though he/she is a part of them, which leads to bad customer relations.  If you say something like, ?I?m working the desk by myself and I have a line of six people waiting,? the patron hears that your life is difficult and he?s just one more annoyance on your plate.  But if you say, ?Can we pick this up later; I hate to keep people waiting when they?re ready to check out,? the same person will feel like a million bucks because he just helped you serve six patrons by letting you go.   You?ve basically said the same thing, but the delivery makes all the difference between the person feeling rejected or feeling valued.

It seems to me that most patrons, no matter what they?re saying, are looking for some evidence that they?re important to someone, and when we?re able to make them feel that way they suddenly view the library as a terrifically valuable place.  This is even doubled if we can then find a way to make them feel like they?re playing some role in helping us do the same thing for someone else.  So I always just try to make that my primary goal when a conversation is making me wish I were at the dentist instead!  Unless the person is totally off the map and psychotic (and even sometimes when they are), it usually works pretty well in facilitating a disengagement that doesn?t make anyone uncomfortable.

This ended up longer than I meant it to?..

Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Staff Disengagement Training

How about simply stating, ?I would really love to chat with you some more, but I need to get back to work.? In my experience, staff are reluctant to disengage from needy patrons for fear of looking rude. Devoting too much time to one patron at the risk of not attending to another patron?s needs or work that helps all the community is actually rude.

Most of the time this comes down to discussing best tactics with staff and trusting that the staff can manage a difficult customer service interaction. Also remember that each interaction will be different, so it is best to devise plans that will work for different interactions.

Finally, if your staff is reluctant to being proactive then remind them that a key component to working at a public library is the PUBLIC. If you are uncomfortable working with ALL members of the public, then look for another job.

Sincerely,
Kevin

Hello,
I'm looking for any resources that help library staff deal with disengaging from patron conversations, or finding an appropriate exit point when a conversation is difficult to end.

Hi Stephanie,

 

We use appraiser Mark Moran from Wisconsin.  He is very knowledgeable on antiques, and uses web sites to investigate current value for items that people bring.  He has written many books on the subject of antiques.  

 

This is the second year that we have had him visit and all the people who have brought their treasures in have been very satisfied with the information he has been able to supply.  The program is open to the public, so we have an audience who just come to watch.

 

It?s great entertainment for all.  I highly recommend Mr. Moran!

Dear Friends,

 

Does anyone know an antique appraiser who does appraising as a fundraiser for a library? We are looking for someone to do a fundraiser. We would charge the patron a reasonable fee per item (such as $5) and split it with the appraiser. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Regards,

Stephanie Daniels

Hi Stephanie,

 

We use appraiser Mark Moran from Wisconsin.  He is very knowledgeable on antiques, and uses web sites to investigate current value for items that people bring.  He has written many books on the subject of antiques.  

 

This is the second year that we have had him visit and all the people who have brought their treasures in have been very satisfied with the information he has been able to supply.  The program is open to the public, so we have an audience who just come to watch.

 

It?s great entertainment for all.  I highly recommend Mr. Moran!

We had an antique appraiser in today and we got into a discussion generated by one of our patrons about appraisers and dealers.  The gentleman we had is an appraiser and not a dealer.  

 

There are many reputable antique dealers out there.  When you?re booking an appraiser be cautious and ask good questions.
