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.

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!

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. -- Jaema Berman Director Addison Twp.

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.

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.

View it as a Web page. ________________________________ Every Child Ready to Read in Michigan June 2016 [Every Child Ready to Read] ________________________________ [Young Boy reading with mother] 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! "Use family photos to tell stories." - Sue ________________________________ 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. 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? ________________________________ Website of the Month: Babies Need Words Every Day [Babies Need Words Flyer] Babies Need Words Every Day: Talk, Read, Sing, Play by The Association of Library Service for Children, a division of the American Library Association. 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. ________________________________ [Sue McCleaf Nespeca] Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

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 Kate Scheid, MLIS Director Holly Township Library 1116 N.

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. Derek Barth Bath Township Library Center -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 and eBook K-8 Collection. 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 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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Message-ID: Libraries Read: 1 Book discussion events - Michigan location added! There's still time to register and add your voice to the discussion! "Is Google making us stupid?" Nicholas Carr asked, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story. Carr delves further into the question in his book The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains, the selected title for "Libraries Read: 1 Book." MCLS invited library staff across Indiana and Michigan to place votes on one of four titles to select one book that we will all read and discuss together for professional development. Nicholas Carr's book captured the most votes. In The Shallows, he explores the net's intellectual and cultural consequences. MCLS encourages library staff to read the book throughout the summer, then join us in a Twitter chat and regional discussions about the book. According to Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director, "During 2014, MCLS conducted a series of community conversations with librarians throughout Indiana and Michigan, utilizing the tools from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation. The desire to have discussions in many formats, and to communicate with one another outside of our silos was a recurring theme. By reading one book together, we aim to create deeper connections among libraries that span geographic and other boundaries." Michigan Book Discussions: * July 21, 2 pm Eastern. Twitter Chat.

If the site will be helpful to librarians in your states, please feel free to share the link.

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 Leslie A.

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.

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.

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?

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...

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 throughout the month of July. *WHO:* The original concept for this project came from Deborah Greer, co-director of Chelsea River Gallery , 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? * ? 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.

Learn more about the Pell Grant Federal Direct Loan Interest Rates 2016-17 Federal Direct Loans are low interest loans available for students and parents to help pay for the cost of a student's college education. Direct Loans are borrowed directly from the federal government and become available to students through completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The following interest rates reflect a decrease from the previous academic year and are effective July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017: * Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans for undergraduates = 3.76% * Direct Unsubsidized Loans for graduate students = 5.31% * Direct PLUS Loans = 6.31% Learn more about what types of federal loans are available, how to borrow responsibly, and what your repayment options are.

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.

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 (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 (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! ________________________________ In case you missed out..

The Board of Trustees of the Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library seeks a visionary, strategic leader with passion, creativity, and innovation to lead a stellar organization and 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.

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.

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.

Message-ID: 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 Deb Renee Biggs, MA AMLS Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.

Jet -- Jet Kofoot, President Association for Rural & Small Libraries 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.

Dr. Rick Potts, Smithsonian paleoanthropologist and curator of the Exploring Human Origins traveling exhibit, will be the guest speaker.

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.

Thursday, August 11, 2016 Beyond the Job Description: Ten Practical Tips for the New Rural Library Director 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. 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern Time Wednesday, August 24, 2016 Build Your Learning Culture: The Whole Organization Approach 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. 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern Time Evette M.

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!

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. Davies, Nicola.

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. "Children are natural scientists and mathematicians who use basic science and math concepts every day by exploring, predicting, sorting, classifying, comparing and contrasting." - Sue McCleaf Nespeca ________________________________ 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. Kids Books Use More Rare Words than Adult TV, So Drop the Remote for Improved Vocab talks about how children's books present more rare words than TV shows or adult conversation. My two favorite quotes: "Out of every 1,000 words in a work of kidlit, 30.9 will be rare;" and "Children's books have 50 percent more rare words in them than does adult prime-time television and the conversation of college graduates." Read Brightly posted an article titled 5 Ways to Use Picture Books to Build Kids' Language Skills which highlights the importance of reading picture books to increase children's language skills. The five areas that picture books help with in relation to language skills are: Expand Vocabulary; Build Social Language Skills; Improve Comprehension; Develop Reading and Writing Skills; and Learn Sequencing and Story Development. Five Ways to Use Picture Books to Build Kids' Language Skills was written by Rebecca Eisenberg, a speech language pathologist and author. [book image] ________________________________ 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! The Atlantic. Can Reading Logs Ruin Reading for Kids? Rather than creating a new generation of pleasure-readers, forcing kids to keep track of their reading time can turn it into a chore. By Erica Reischer. June 3, 2016.

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!

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!

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.

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?.. Anne Marie ? Anne Marie Bedard Librarian II ?

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.

From: Bedard, Anne Marie [mailto:abedard at sccl.lib.mi.us] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 11:52 AM To: Kevin King ; Dillon Geshel ; Michlib-l at mcls.org 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?.. Anne Marie ? Anne Marie Bedard Librarian II ? Circulation Interlibrary Loan/Reference Librarian St. Clair County Library 210 McMorran Blvd. Port Huron, MI 48060 (810) 987-7323 x 143 From: michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 10:24 AM To: Dillon Geshel; Michlib-l at mcls.org 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.
