It's a time for libraries to get out and use data to demonstrate the value and impact they have on their communities. In Michigan we're going to share this data via social media. Participation takes place during the week of June 13-17. You can participate one day or every day, and contribute via social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest using the hashtag #MiLibSnap. The event is scheduled after conference season and is well situated to support summer reading participation. We suggest that you pull stats out of your annual report or collect data such as door counts between now and snapshot day. The objective is to share the impact of your library on your community in eye-catching ways. Some ideas for demonstrating that impact include: Use photos of the staff and facilities to personalize and put a face on your library; promote programming activities, outreach events, author tours, genealogy, and local history resources; and use stats such as circulation numbers or door counts to make your point. Get creative. You already know what you do best. Check out the tools below for creating great visuals. Word cloud tools: * Wordle * Tagul * Word It Out * PowerPoint add-in Infographic tools: * Inkscape * Piktochart * Venngage * Canva * Easel.ly Data visualization tools: * Gapminder * Tableau * Google Public Data * Infogr.am Please tag your posts with #MiLibSnap and we look forward to seeing your great posts on social media.

THE SHALLOWS selected as 2016 Libraries Read: 1 Book community read Message-ID: MCLS Announces "Libraries Read: 1 Book" Title Selection Lansing--"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 June and July, then join us in a live Twitter chat about the book on Thursday, July 21 at 2pm eastern at #MCLSchat. Regional discussions will also be announced and take place in early August. 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." For more information about "Libraries Read: 1 Book", contact Michelle Bradley at Bradleym at mcls.org, visit our Facebook page or read our blog. https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org/ About MCLS: The Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) is a non-profit, member-driven organization whose mission is to facilitate sharing resources and to collaborate with other organizations to benefit Michigan and Indiana libraries.

It's not, apparently. My teen librarian recognized this young man's name (Aaron Yang) immediately and said that there has been much discussion in Teen Librarian facebook groups about this "kid" and his apparent scam. One commenter on the facebook page Teen Services Underground said that they'd been getting this same letter/email since their library created a myspace page years ago. Participants in several FB groups have claimed that when told NO, the guy presenting himself as Aaron Yang presses the issue, spouts legalese, asks for the Director or a supervisor. Most recently, there was a push to report this to YALSA, who responded that it was out of their purview. He hits libraries nationwide with many, many librarians reporting in that they've gotten a letter or email from him. Many have gotten repeated attempts over a span of years. For those who are wondering, here is the complete text of his email: Hi, My name is Aaron Yang and I would to participate in the summer reading program for teens. Unfortunately, I live in the state of California, so I would really appreciate it if you can make an exception for me. The main reason I want to participate is because of IDDDYSRCC USA. It is for I Double Dog Dare You Summer Reading Challenge Contest USA. It was created 2 years ago by me and my friends. We had a semi-boring summer in 2014 and I came up with the idea. We all did the dare and I came in 2nd place last summer. It was so much fun and we kept doing it every year. Basically, we google search all the libraries in the USA and email every single one. What is IDDDYSRCC? IDDDYSRCC is a contest, or dare, that was created by 2 middle schoolers in 2014. Now in high school, the dare has continued. The dare has been moved into a contest and there are now 5 people in it. Each year, a king and queen of IDDDYSRCC. In order to be eligible to be in the contest, members must be first initiated. There will be a test to see the ability of the member's common sense and credibility. During the contest, the contesters must outnumber the number of the libraries that the king and queen are doing. For example, if I did 5 libraries and the king did 7, I lose. These libraries must not be in California. How does the point system/rules work? At the beginning of the contest, each person is to keep a secret on how many libraries that person is doing. Everyone will reveal their secrets at the awards dinner and party. Each member must at least email 2 libraries in each state of USA. This year, Canada is added for more amusement. Here is the point system: 1 point if the state is on the west coast of USA, excluding California. 2 points if state is located in the mountain regions 3 for midwestern states 4 for east coast states 5 for Hawaii, Alaska, or Canada Additional points: 2 points if you win a prize drawing at a library on the west coast 3 if you win a prize drawing at a library in mountain regions 4 for midwestern area 5 for east coast 6 for Hawaii and Alaska, AND 7 total plus the 5 if library is located in Canada. 10 points automatically if you win the grand prize at a library, counts only if you receive it! 20 for Canada!!!! Cant cajole a library to mail things? Beg them to mail at least something small, must have library name or address either on the item or envelope,box,package,etc.. and receive 5 points for trying. 5 for USA, 10 for Canada.

There's been a lot of discussion about what to do on ALSC and PUBYAC listservs as well. Some people think it's wonderful that it may (or may not) be kid(s) who just want to participate and be involved with libraries; most seem to think it's scammy. I think the fact that it doesn't seem like we've heard from a single other "participant" - just Aaron Yang - is telling.

Here are some interesting responses: 1.Barb Langridge So...this young fellow and his friends are really enjoying reaching out to libraries across the USA? Reaching out to us? And ALA and ALSC haven't invited them to make this a national campaign? To lead others to the books? Maybe I am missing something here but this sounds like what we dream about. Kids who are thinking about the library..not only their library but other libraries. Kids who WANT to do the summer reading program. It sounds like it's out of the box because maybe we aren't used to having people from other states wanting to do our summer reading program...but what is the cost..not just literally...or better yet...what is the fear? Don't we have a theme that most of us use across the country? This year it's On Your Mark Get Set Read.... if you go to the library at the beach in Maryland or you drive the other way and go out to the mountains...all the libraries are proudly waving the same banner... How amazing it would be to have kids energized around connecting their summer reading with kids in other states..... they would be making reading important and fun and exciting and part of their summer. Sounds like a plan! Isn't that what we want them to be doing? It sounds as though we feel we are being used in a part of a scam...could it be that we don't recognize kids who are excited about our summer reading program? What if kids from all over the country could connect to our summer reading programs? Collect summer reading program badges? They could say, I finished the program in Oregon and California and New Jersey? We might need a good piece of software to send them back a badge when it's completed...we might need a librarian to sign off that they did the reading.... but imagine the publicity...imagine how powerful this could be toward creating a national culture of reading...imagine how exciting it would be to have readers in different states competing against each other to finish reading a whole string of books............ I wonder? Barb 2. The problem is that Mr. Yang and his "friends" are assigning point values as to how they participate in each program and they get "more points" per his description if they get physical prizes mailed to them from libraries across the country. To which I replied to him that our local funders that provide the prizes for our Summer Program would NOT be happy to learn that the funds they provided in good faith to go to our kids here in town are going out to some kid in California. Now, if it were just badges and a national summer reading online program, I would love that. Elaine Betting, M.L.I.S. Youth Services and Outreach Librarian Supervisor Lorain Public Library System 351 W. 6th St. Lorain, Ohio 44052 440-244-1192 x 243 ebetting at lpls.info 3. But if that is really the case then, 1. Why has he not said this until now? This isn't the first year that he has done this, and from what others have said, he has gotten extremely rude about it. If this were true, why, at any point in the past two years, did he not say, this is what I and my friends are doing? 2. If it's not just him, why haven't we seen other names pop up? He is all over PUBYAC, the YALSA listservs, Teen Services Underground on Facebook, ALA Think Tank on Facebook... if there were actually other kids doing this, it wouldn't just be his name every time. There hasn't been a single shred of evidence that there are more kids than just him doing it. 3. He stated that California libraries are off-limits, yet he has contacted libraries in California. So which is it? 4. He has contacted libraries during their winter programs, whether they actually had a winter reading program or not, to try to get free stuff. If this is only a summer thing, why is he doing that? If it's not just a summer thing, why didn't he say so in his spiel? 5. For that matter, why does his story keep changing? He's told some people that he used to live in their area (lie), and he's told others that his library doesn't have a summer reading program (another lie). At this point, he doesn?t deserve the benefit of the doubt. Here's one last thing to address your question of why not let kids in other states join. My library isn't big. We don't have a large budget. We have to make do with what we have. This means our community is ALWAYS going to come FIRST. Our budget comes from our taxpayers, so they are our priority. It is a waste of money and staff time (which also equals money) to start sending prizes (which in many cases wouldn't even be applicable to someone out of state) to someone out of state. He has a library. That library has a summer reading program. The summer reading program is already nationwide. In practically any community, you can go to the library during the summer and join. How does that not promote a national culture of reading? Trying to join hundreds, maybe thousands, of programs in other states isn't a love of reading. It's greed. No one is stopping him from reading. No one is stopping him from joining his own library's summer reading club. He wants stuff. Getting stuff isn't, and shouldn't be, the point. Heather Botelho Youth Services Librarian Flower Mound Public Library 972.874.6157 4.Candace Ryan It's been fascinating to observe the spectrum of reaction to one young man's (first?) attempts to connect with a world outside of his home and school life. He has tired, "ire-d," but, also, inspired a number of librarians across the country. He's definitely tapped in to something! I believe that how we respond to Aaron says a lot more about us than it does about him. I've followed this thread (and the one on Facebook) with extra interest, because of my "locality" to Aaron geographically, and perhaps, also, socially. I know what it feels like to reach out to librarians (and others) in unconventional, "out-of-the-box" ways, only to have my efforts fall disappointingly short of my vision. Of course, I acknowledge that Aaron has not used the most skillful means possible in conveying his SRC vision. It is never appropriate or acceptable to lie, deceive, or threaten lawsuits for failing to fulfill SRC prizes, but perhaps this young man deserves the benefit of doubt. Could he have a developmental delay, for which proper social etiquette, let alone far more challenging "Netiquette," is beyond his ability to completely grasp? Could he benefit from gentle correction that there are more skillful (and, thus, more successful) means available to him when reaching out to others-- that he needs to build trust and confidence in those he reaches out to (especially repeatedly)? A simple Google search will reveal that Aaron appears to be engaged with libraries throughout the San Gabriel Valley, where Alhambra is located, just outside of the greater Los Angeles area. One link shows that he participated in an in-person Teen Advisory Board meeting at the Monrovia Library. Another link shows an excerpt from a book report he wrote on THE MAZE RUNNER at the Pasadena Public Library (where thread participant Annmarie works). Yet another link shows that he liked a "Game Design" class on the Altadena Library's Teen Services Facebook page. Again, I do not know Aaron personally, but it appears that he is a real teen from the little research I did, which makes me all the more concerned that both his home and email addresses would have been shared on this listserv without his or his parents' permission. For whatever Aaron's social transgressions, he does not deserve that kind of exposure to unknown vulnerabilities in this day and age. I applaud those, especially Barb Langridge (as the first), to point to the positives and possibiliities of Aaron's message. Here is a young man trying to connect with the world in maybe the only way he knows how, in maybe the best way he knows how. His bridge to the world may be through a library. For better or worse, that makes librarians his gatekeepers. Will you let him pass? Will you give him "a pass?" To borrow a phrase from Aaron, I "double-dog dare you" to! Candace 5.Looks like Aaron is trending! I don't know how many of you are on the Storytime Underground on Facebook. They are discussing Aaron right now. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=687055329584&set=gm.1136049293112932&type=3&theater If the link doesn't work, let me know, and I'll try to paste in the conversation.

Hi Barb, Candace, everyone: Here are some thoughts on Barb's wonderful ideas: 1 and 2. Email a certificate, book mark or something to the participant. Email name address phone to the participant's library. Would it be possible to have a YouTube Channel where all the library's could upload a video, at the end of the summer reading program, that congratulates all of that library's out of state participants? 3. We use Google Docs for a review form that our middle/high school students have to fill out for each book they read. The readers can give a book 1 to 5 stars. Then they have to write at least one sentence about why or why not they would recommend this book to their friends. It can be reached by anyone with internet access. 4. Goal: to get 6th through 12th graders in our town interested in competing in other states, using the same books that they read for our summer reading club. Call it the National Summer Reading Club. The more states and the more books they read, they could win a National Prize. Perhaps a trip to ALA? And, the books that they're reading could generate a National Summer Reading List of the top 10 books for grades 6-12 5. I love the badge idea! South Windsor has a town seal. Is that something every town has? Perhaps the badge could incorporate a town or state seal. 6. We have over 100 6th-12th grade volunteers every summer. This would be something they can easily do. Anyone else? Oh, and we should ask our teens what they think would be interesting to them! Sandy Sandy Westbrook, Children's Librarian South Windsor Public Library South Windsor, CT 06074 860-644-5404 sandyw at libraryconnection.info This thread was over 21 messages long, so I picked the 6 I thought were most interesting. On a personal note, I think we should do more to encourage kids to participate in multiple reading programs. I love the response about creating a National Summer Reading program. I understand most libraries don't have the budget to send prizes to these individuals and we often feel overextended already, but it takes very little time to send them an e-mail certificate/bookmark.

Goal: to get 6th through 12th graders in our town interested in competing in other states, using the same books that they read for our summer reading club. Call it the National Summer Reading Club. The more states and the more books they read, they could win a National Prize. Perhaps a trip to ALA? And, the books that they're reading could generate a National Summer Reading List of the top 10 books for grades 6-12 5. I love the badge idea! South Windsor has a town seal. Is that something every town has? Perhaps the badge could incorporate a town or state seal. 6. We have over 100 6th-12th grade volunteers every summer. This would be something they can easily do. Anyone else? Oh, and we should ask our teens what they think would be interesting to them! Sandy Sandy Westbrook, Children's Librarian South Windsor Public Library South Windsor, CT 06074 860-644-5404 sandyw at libraryconnection.info This thread was over 21 messages long, so I picked the 6 I thought were most interesting. On a personal note, I think we should do more to encourage kids to participate in multiple reading programs. I love the response about creating a National Summer Reading program. I understand most libraries don't have the budget to send prizes to these individuals and we often feel overextended already, but it takes very little time to send them an e-mail certificate/bookmark.

There's been a lot of discussion about what to do on ALSC and PUBYAC listservs as well.

A program of the National Endowment for the Arts, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. Hartland?s Cromaine Library is one of 77 nonprofit organizations to receive a grant to host an NEA Big Read project between September 2016 and June 2017. The NEA Big Read in Hartland will focus on Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich. Activities will take place in November 2016. According to Ceci Marlow, Cromaine?s library director, ?Big Read is an exceptional opportunity for our community to explore and be enriched by cultural experiences often absent from busy, daily lives. This is especially true of "Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich. Native American cultural events, foods, music, and artifacts will bring the pages to life. We are excited and grateful to our supporting partners!? Managed by Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read offers grants to support innovative community reading programs designed around a single book. The program supports organizations across the country in developing community-wide reading programs which encourage reading and participation by diverse audiences. Organizations selected to participate in the NEA Big Read receive a grant, access to online training resources and opportunities, and educational and promotional materials designed to support widespread community involvement. Our kickoff event is scheduled for Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 10 am until 1 pm. We are pleased to have Reg Pettibone and his wife Marca bring their Authentic Native American Program complete with artifacts, a tipi, and music and dance to start the day, followed by food samples, games, crafts and more for this family-friendly event!

Infographics, word clouds and data tools that convey interesting messages, complex data sets, productivity statistics, compelling stories, and engaging images, all in visual and sometimes interactive formats. Libraries and educational organizations need to "tell your story" and have a 30 second "elevator speech" at the ready, and infographics may just be what lets your message rise above others who compete for the same funding and support. Newly added to the MeL Books & Literacy Gateway under the Libraries & Information Science classification is a group of resources to help with creating visual messages. Infographic & Data Tools currently includes six tools to start with. I see great things in your future - annual reports, summer reading program participation, revenue/expenditure comparison, service area demographics, program promotion - and, Library Snapshot Day postings on social media (#MILibSnap). As Sonya Schryer Norris explained in her May 24, message to this list, plan to participate in this ALA initiative during the week of June 13-17 and show the world what your library does and "...share the impact of your library on your community in eye-catching ways." MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL?

Aaron is definitely an avid reader and he likes to participate in any, or all, library programs he can. However, he does come off rude if he is overwhelmed or doesn't get his way. Unfortunately, he was released as a Teen Advisory Board member at the Alhambra Civic Center Library because of a comment he made to me in an e-mail to which he later replied that he was sorry for what he said. As for his claims about the summer reading programs where he lives, which is where I live and work, we have never denied him access to registration and prizes, but we were strict about how many prizes he could get as supplies were limited. Since I have interacted with Aaron before when I worked at the Alhambra Civic Center Library, my advice is to stand your ground when it comes to the prizes. I would still encourage him to sign up for your reading programs, but let him know that all prizes must be picked up in person. He may to persuade you to send them to him, but, again, let him know from the get go that he has to pick up his prize in person or no prize. I totally agree with sending him a certificate of completion via email for him to print out if he needs if for school or proof that he completed the program, but if quantities of prizes are limited than you need to re-iterate that. I thought I saw on this listserv an email he sent explaining that prizes awarded competitors more points, but, offer him the suggestion that maybe he should seek out certificates of completion as big ticket winners if prizes can't be sent. I am actually kind of shocked that he threatened a lawsuit because he wasn't allowed to sign up, but, then again, that's the way he reacts when it comes to being told "no." Honestly, I would not take those statements personally or literally, which is why we shouldn't panic as he usually forgets and moves on. In fact, if it gets to that point, definitely end the conversation by re-stating the rules and he will more than likely not sign up or won't communicate with you any longer. Does that mean he won't try to contact your colleagues? I don't know, but definitely let your supervisor know that you have had this conversation with him just so everyone is on the same page. Again, I am not trying to say don't let him sign up, but firmly tell him that prizes won't be mailed to him and offer him the suggestion of a certificate of completion. I am curious to know if anyone said he could sign up (with the understanding that if he wanted a prize he would have to pick it up) if he actually signed up or completed the program? The only reason I ask is I am not sure if he is signing up for these programs because he is enthusiastic about libraries and reading or if it's about the free stuff. More than likely it's the free stuff, but I definitely think each library has the right to say "no" or "yes." Going back to the conversation of a national summer reading program, it's a great idea, but aren't we already doing that by offering summer reading programs throughout the country? The differences between our programs are the rules and rewards so is it a matter of streamlining our programs where the rules and rewards are the same where kids and can teens can sign up for as many summer reading programs and get prizes albeit the same prize? I am definitely interested in exploring this idea, but we shouldn't have to re-invent the wheel since we already offering programs right now. On that note, try not to let Aaron get under your skin, but remember to be kind and stand your ground. He's a good kid, but he doesn't understand boundaries and tends to cross those boundaries to the point where you get frustrated. Try and have patience, but it's also okay to say "no." Good luck and have a fantastic summer! ~Deborah Deborah Takahashi Librarian Pasadena Public Library Linda Vista Branch|1281 Bryant Street Pasadena, CA 91103 (626) 744-7278 Santa Catalina Branch|999 E.

That's about 1,600 more than Michlib-l. According to survey feedback, about 2/3 of that number is made of members of Michigan's library community. I am currently seeking articles for upcoming issues that fall into the following three categories. These were areas that readers identified as topics they want to hear more about. And you can be a part of that! * Coordinated efforts between libraries * How libraries can work together * What other libraries are doing If you have stories to share about your library and your collaborations, please contact me with a story idea. Dispatch articles run approximately 300 words and are accompanied by a photo (we can use a library logo, a headshot, a photo of an event or program, etc.). Your peers want to hear from you and no library is too big or too small to be included. I look forward to hearing about, and including, your accomplishments. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Booklist columnist and reviewer Michael Cart will discuss current trends in LGBTQ lit, and representatives from Bold Strokes Books, Listening Library, and Riptide Publishing will share new and forthcoming titles from their lists. Moderated by Booklist adult books editor Donna Seaman. For more information and to register, visit: http://www.booklistonline.com/webinars Wednesday, June 15 (1-2 pm) Achieving Buy-In for Your Volunteer Program (4Good) https://4good.org/explore/latest/webinars In an ideal world, your nonprofit's staff would know how to supervise volunteers and create new and purposeful opportunities for them. Getting your co-workers to that point takes buy-in. Achieving buy-in is one of the qualities that separates managers from leaders. It means standing by your vision and communicating it in a way that influences others. In this webinar, we will look at six key principles of buy-in and apply them to a typical volunteer management scenario. For more information and to register, visit: https://4good.org/explore/latest/webinars Friday, June 23 (2-3 pm) The MeLCat Overdue Process (MCLS) http://mcls.org/training-events This webinar will discuss how to keep track of your overdue MeLCat items and how to manage following up with them. The process will be gone over in complete detail.

Wanted to share that we had Michigan author, Mardi Jo Link present last week at our library. Her program was terrific and received rave reviews. I've attached a copy of our poster. Highly recommended; she's a great, fun presenter. Here is a description: "Yes, you CAN write a memoir!" That's the title of a new writing workshop developed by me, Michigan Notable Author, Mardi Link. The workshop lasts two hours and includes helpful writing prompts, opportunities for participants to read their work out loud to the group, (only if they so desire - promise!) a suggested reading list and handouts, publishing insight, and a personal on-site critique. The cost is $500 all inclusive, which means workshop fee, mileage, and all handouts. My work has focused on non-fiction (Bootstrapper,The Drummond Girls, Wicked Takes the Witness Stand, Isadore's Secret, and When Evil Came to Good Hart,) and I'd like to share what I've learned with other writers. Her contact information: Mardi Jo Link THE DRUMMOND GIRLS "So pick up this book: You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll ponder . . . the fierce friendships at the heart of this remarkable story." - BookPage mardijolink.com Sylvia Merz, Director Leland Township Library 203 E.

Highlights: Tuesday, June 7 (2-3 pm) Reading the Rainbow: New Trends in LGBTQ Literature (Booklist) http://www.booklistonline.com/webinars Join us in Pride Month for a special Booklist webinar focusing on LGBTQ literature for adults and teens. Booklist columnist and reviewer Michael Cart will discuss current trends in LGBTQ lit, and representatives from Bold Strokes Books, Listening Library, and Riptide Publishing will share new and forthcoming titles from their lists.

For more information and to register, visit: http://www.booklistonline.com/webinars Wednesday, June 15 (1-2 pm) Achieving Buy-In for Your Volunteer Program (4Good) https://4good.org/explore/latest/webinars In an ideal world, your nonprofit's staff would know how to supervise volunteers and create new and purposeful opportunities for them. Getting your co-workers to that point takes buy-in. Achieving buy-in is one of the qualities that separates managers from leaders. It means standing by your vision and communicating it in a way that influences others. In this webinar, we will look at six key principles of buy-in and apply them to a typical volunteer management scenario.

Wanted to share that we had Michigan author, Mardi Jo Link present last week at our library. Her program was terrific and received rave reviews. I've attached a copy of our poster. Highly recommended; she's a great, fun presenter. Here is a description: "Yes, you CAN write a memoir!" That's the title of a new writing workshop developed by me, Michigan Notable Author, Mardi Link. The workshop lasts two hours and includes helpful writing prompts, opportunities for participants to read their work out loud to the group, (only if they so desire - promise!) a suggested reading list and handouts, publishing insight, and a personal on-site critique. The cost is $500 all inclusive, which means workshop fee, mileage, and all handouts. My work has focused on non-fiction (Bootstrapper,The Drummond Girls, Wicked Takes the Witness Stand, Isadore's Secret, and When Evil Came to Good Hart,) and I'd like to share what I've learned with other writers. Her contact information: Mardi Jo Link THE DRUMMOND GIRLS "So pick up this book: You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll ponder . . . the fierce friendships at the heart of this remarkable story." - BookPage mardijolink.com Sylvia Merz, Director Leland Township Library 203 E.

We had several independent entries that talked about their public libraries, which is always great to see. Thanks to those who participated by encouraging entries and by judging. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov [MDE Banner 2016] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill Disessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Three Michigan Students Win 2016 Letters about Literature Contest June 1, 2016 LANSING - Three Michigan students wrote to authors about the challenges of living with disabilities or as a minority, and now all three are 2016 Letters about Literature winners, the Library of Michigan (LM) announced today. Letters about Literature is an annual contest sponsored by the National Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. Young readers write letters to authors, living or dead, describing how the authors' works changed their lives. Students participate through classroom activities or by writing to an author on their own. Participating schools and libraries encourage students to submit letters. Letters about Literature winners are: * State Level I (grades 4-6) winner - Beatrice Mulder, a 6th-grader at Holland Christian Schools, who wrote to author Sharon Draper about her book, Out of My Mind. She won a reading promotion grant to the Herrick District Library. In her letter, Mulder tells about how the book encouraged her to reach out to a disabled classmate. "I had to train my brain to think, how's he doing, instead of the usual, can he hear me?" * State Level II (grades 7-8) winner - Alexis Krumbach, a 7th-grade at Williamston Middle School, who wrote to author Joni Eareckson Tada about her book, Joni, An Unforgettable Story. She won a reading promotion grant to Williamston Middle School. Krumbach wrote that Tada's story helped her put her learning disability into a broader context and "to appreciate my strengths and blessings... If you can focus on what is positive in your life, I can focus on positive things in my life, too." * The State Level III (grades 9-12) winner's name was withheld by request. The Ann Arbor resident wrote to author Maya Angelou about her book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The student won a reading promotion grant to Skyline High School. The Level III winner explains in her letter how Angelou's story of growing up a minority was a lesson for her own life: "I'm rediscovering my language, my family, and my culture," the student wrote. State Finalists were: * Andrew Ouellette of Beverly Hills - Level I * Olivia Frye of Grosse Pointe Farms - Level I * Madeline Gibb of Fenton - Level I * Trucy Phan of Williamston - Level II * Zyk Hlavacek of Saginaw - Level II * Jacqueline Mularoni of Bloomfield Hills - Level II * Name withheld of Dexter - Level III * Hannah-Noel Lucas of Perry - Level III * Molly Hulbert of Middleville - Level III Michele Ellis of Williamston Middle School was chosen as the 2016 Michigan Letters about Literature Teacher of the Year. "Literature is a window for children to see and understand other cultures and people through. As readers, they then can understand their own experiences through the characters they connect with," Letters about Literature Coordinator Karren Reish said. "The letters they write in the program help them articulate this. Reading and literature are not just homework, but a way for students to understand their lives and the lives of people around them." State winners receive a $50 Schuler Books & Music gift card and $250 reading promotion grant for the library of their choice. State finalists receive a $20 gift card to Schuler Books & Music. Gifts cards and grants are courtesy the Library of Congress and the Michigan Center for the Book, a program of the LM and member affiliates. The winners' complete letters are available at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices.

And that's exactly what the Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) did when the long-time editor of Michigan History magazine, Patricia Majher, departed at the end of May to take a new post at the University of Michigan. Using a streamlined, innovative approach, HSM reorganized its editorial staff, creating a Lansing-based editorial team that will simultaneously work on all three of its magazines: Michigan History, Chronicle and Michigan History for Kids. The new staff workgroup is working under the banner of HSM Magazines to reflect its unified responsibilities. With the new editorial structure, HSM was able to cut costs, increase efficiency, and eliminate duplicated responsibilities. Not only will the editorial team continue to bring readers top-notch Michigan history-related feature articles and special sections, but it will also strive to bring even more value to subscribers and members of the Society, along with meeting the mission of all three magazines: to explore the history and heritage of all Michigan's peoples. "Our new Editorial Team will take all three of our publications to new heights," commented publisher Larry J. Wagenaar, who also serves as Executive Director of the Historical Society of Michigan. "We have a group of very talented people who have already melded into a collaborative unit, and our readers, subscribers and members will definitely benefit from the new structure." The new team consists of newly promoted Editor in Chief and Creative Director Nancy Feldbush, who will oversee the operation and design of all three magazines and also remains as the Society's Director of Communications; newly promoted Michigan History for Kids Editor Amy Bradfield, who will lead the production of the Society's third- and fourth-grade-level publication; recently appointed Features Editor Christopher Blaker, who will work on feature articles for both Michigan History and Chronicle magazines and give input to Michigan History for Kids; newly promoted Special Sections Coordinator Andie McBride, who will manage the various departments and specialty sections for both Michigan History and Chronicle magazines and give input to Michigan History for Kids; and recently appointed Graphics and Multimedia Manager Maureen Buecking, who will create the look and feel of each magazine. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history # # # Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. Lansing, MI 48911 Phone: (517) 324-1828 Fax: (517) 324-4370 Email: hsm at hsmichigan.org Website: www.hsmichigan.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For supervisors, it?s important to develop a team of individuals who work well together, do what needs to be done, and help each other succeed. Join us for a dynamic session to learn what it means to develop a healthy organizational culture, with an introduction to the concept of organizational citizenship behavior and its relevance to public libraries.

It?s the ?if we build it, they will come? logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn?t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community.

Plain Jane Glory, a husband & wife duo from Muskegon, MI, simply enchanted our audience with their Neo-Folk/Americana music that was uplifting, heartbreaking, moving and nostalgic! They use a variety of instrumentation including vocal harmonies, violin/fiddle, acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and percussion to create an impressively big sound. Michael Boxer and Laura Crosswait have so much charisma and warmth, and that along with their outstanding musical abilities created a truly a special evening of music at the Library. The program was a combination of traditional and popular Americana and country songs along with the duo's own amazing original music that created a perfect blend. Plain Jane Glory has one CD released and a brand new one dropping this month. Again, the duo hails from Muskegon, MI, and are willing to travel.

And how can young children and their families benefit from a media mentor? Join Michael Levine, Lisa Guernsey, and Chip Donohue to discuss this new term in the lexicon of 21st-century early childhood education. Media mentors can help children grow into strong, passionate readers who are skilled at using media and technology of all kinds-print, digital, and everything in between. But what skills do media mentors need? How can they be supported? And how can more children gain access to them?

As a team effort we are encouraging the community to log their miles walked, run, biked, and more and help us move from the Shire to Mount Doom to destory the ring. I'm attaching a flyer, and this event is open to everyone, even those outside of the Benton Harbor/Benton Charter Township community. You can even log miles online.

I just wish you weren't in the UP! I cosplay Kylo Ren and have connections with a couple folks from the 501st in the Grand Rapids area. With such short notice and a huge travel distance, I don't think any of us can help you, but I just wanted to offer my assistance to libraries in southwest Michigan looking for a Star Wars character for their programs. Our Youth Department had a Jedi Academy in April and I crashed it as Kylo Ren. I was fighting off up to 6 kids armed with pool-noodle lightsabers at a time. It was a blast! Best of luck to everyone with Summer Reading this year and May the Force be with you!

The building supervisor at each branch affected has talked with the teens and let them know that we want them to be there and we want them to enjoy the space, but they need to respect the space, not leave messes, not be overly loud, not be engaging in PDAs or wrestling each other or anything else like that. Since that talk, they get one warning and then they're out for the day. All of them. It doesn't matter if one wasn't participating or not, the whole group is out. Being really consistent on that has helped. Sure, sometimes they still act unruly or get kicked out for the day, but overall the behavior has become MUCH better than it was. It also helps that the whole group goes as it means a little peer pressure is added since some of the kids aren't participating and they don't want to get kicked out because others are acting like hooligans. We don't generally ban them for longer than the rest of the day because we do want them to be there and mostly it's just unruly behavior, not anything serious like defacing property. It hasn't totally eliminated the problem, but it's really helped. -- Valerie Long, MLIS Desk Clerk & Interlibrary Loan Team Ann Arbor District Library ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jaema Berman" To: mdewley at brandonlibrary.org Cc: michlib-L at mcls.org Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2016 1:19:15 PM Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] No Subject At one point we had teens sign in for the event and followed up by calling their parents.

This new program is in keeping with its mission to provide equal access to quality resources that serve the lifelong cultural, educational and informational needs and interests of all people. Chelsea District Library is actively engaged in adapting our services to expand access to our online resources. This service initiative was started due to the lack of broadband access in the rural areas of the Library district. Access to information empowers the community to learn new skills, enrich lives, explore new ideas, find employment, discover new business opportunities, and contribute to the community. These hotspots will allow users to access the internet in areas without broadband, do homework on their devices, and allow access to the Library?s online resources. The new Wi-Fi hotspots will be located on the library?s 2nd floor and are available for a non-renewable 3-week checkout period. They offer unlimited data over the Sprint 4G and 3G network, can support up to 10 devices at once, and will cover a 30 to 40ft range. They have very basic filtering, however they are not encrypted or secured. For more information about our Wi-Fi Hotspot program, please ask a librarian or our checkout staff. You can also email Melanie Bell at mbell at chelseadistrictlibrary.org or read the complete FAQ sheet at chelseadistrictlibrary.org/hotspot. # About Us: Chelsea District Library is nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide equal access to quality resources that serve the lifelong cultural, educational and informational needs and interests of all people. The Library currently serves 14,000 residents in the Chelsea district ? City of Chelsea plus Dexter, Lima , Lyndon and Sylvan townships and more than 20,000 individuals visit the Library each month.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <1284712335.15903322.1465842182253.JavaMail.root@madison-hgts.lib.mi.us> Hi Pam, I was planning a May the Fourth showing of the Force Awakens and contacted the 501st Legion's Great Lakes Garrison and The Rebel Legion's Great Lakes Base. There is a form on their website that you can submit to ask for an appearance. I made the request 2 months out and about two weeks prior to the event they still didn't have any volunteers willing to come. I ended up canceling the event. That being said, the guys who responded to my requests were both friendly and helpful. They do stress though that, because the characters are volunteers, they can't promise anyone coming. They recommended we not use their presence in advertising because of this fact. Without being able to advertise that they would be there, we couldn't really expect enough of a turn out to justify having them come. But if you already anticipate a good turn out, then requesting an appearance and hoping someone shows up as a surprise may work for you. I hope this helps!

If I try to get them to come on Star Wars Reads Day more than likely no one will be available, there are just too many events on that day. I also avoid holidays, other times it is more likely they will come to a library event. These characters are all volunteers and they do not charge nonprofit organizations for the visit. We are grateful if we get even one or two to come. I am including pictures taken at our first Star Wars event a few years ago for those librarians who might not know just how professional these people look.

Because we are allowing so many different formats to be used, we chose to go with page counts for all ages (seems to be the fairest way to track). For online ebooks and audiobooks, we typically use the standard hardcover page count for those titles. One of my teen patrons asked if they could count a book they are reading online that is from a site for writers to "self publish". Since these titles do not have a page count available, any suggestions as to how we can count these stories? I don't want to tell our readers that they can't use these titles - the whole point of summer reading is to get kids/teens/adults reading for the fun of it. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp.

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. The Carmel Clay Public Library staff serves 86,293 residents through a single 116,385 sq. ft. Library (opened in 1999) and a mobile library (started in 2015). With a $6.7 million annual budget, the Library circulated 2.1 million items in 2015 and hosted 2,000+ programs. 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 information on the Carmel Clay Public Library and the Carmel Clay area, see Carmel Clay Links. Responsibilities. The Library Director serves as the chief executive officer of the Library and is responsible for the administration of all library functions within the goals, guidelines, and policies established by the Library Board of Trustees.

Last year, Michigan libraries were invited to participate in an important initiative. The Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant (TRIG) program is involved in developing, issuing and administering statewide bids for mobile devices and desktop computers. It provides for lower purchase prices on many products, as well as accessories and even some services such as installation. The nice thing about this program is that it allows you to purchase off the bid and know you're getting a good price without actually issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) yourself. This year's program includes brands and products such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Chromebooks, Android tablets, iPads and MacBooks. Accessories include onsite warranty, mice and keyboards, adapters, RAM upgrades and DVD RW drives. Last year nearly 170,000 devices were purchased off the bid. Unfortunately, libraries made up a very small percentage of this number but the savings for those libraries was substantial - $60,000. In our January issue of the LM Dispatch, Wendy Hand of Kalamazoo Public Library (KPL) wrote an article about how KPL bought Chromebases last year to use as an OPAC solution. On Tuesday she will be conducting a webinar through the LM to talk more about the device purchasing program and walk you through the steps of the ordering process. I would like to encourage you to learn more about this program. If you're thinking about buying hardware this year, the purchasing window is open now through October 15th. To learn more about this program, check out the TRIG website or join us for the webinar. I hope to see you there! Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo St. P.O.

It depends on the font you are using, of course, but in general, 250-300 words per page. Therefore, a 55,000 word book should be about 200 manuscript pages. A 100,000 word book would be about 400. Editors like 12 point font." So, you could have them do a quick word count (easy to do by pasting in Microsoft Word) and count one page for every 250 words. ~Jocelyn Levin, MLIS Jocelyn (Baldwin) Levin, MLIS jmb.mlis at gmail.com On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 12:08 PM, Linda Smith wrote: > I have our teens report how many hours they read.

For some perspective, there were 570,000 total hits to the website for the 12 month period of MAP last year (May 24, 2015 through May 23, 2016), which in and of itself was a huge increase over the previous 12 month period. But 20% of last year's total in under four weeks: that's huge! In addition, the MAP Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP-510259192344845/ is closing in on 3,000 likes, including over 600 new likes this week, and 100+ on a single day. MAP is really beginning to take off now, thanks to the support of our sponsors for the newly redesigned website, press releases, and media events, as well as the promotion of and publicity for the program by the hard working staff in Michigan's nearly 400 public libraries. And speaking of promotion, did you know that Brigette at TLN completely revamped the ever popular MAP brochures this year? There are now three printer friendly brochures, two listing MAP destinations in the Lower Peninsula http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP-LowerMitten-Brochure.pdf and http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP-UpperMitten-Brochure.pdf and one in the U.P. http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP-UpperPeninsula-Brochure.pdf The new brochures, the bookmarks, posters, and activity sheets for kids, as well as the brand new MAP press release http://www.mibluesperspectives.com/news/free-michigan-park-passes/ (hint: feel free to share the MAP press release with your local media outlets) are all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Also, coming very soon to the same link, a brand new edition of "How to check out a Michigan Activity Pass", including screenshots to reflect the new design of the MAP website. We will also be posting this document to the MAP Facebook page. At a recent meeting of the minds of MAP sponsors we set a goal as to the number of hits to the MAP website we would like to reach for the period May 24, 2016 through May 23, 2017. It is a very ambitious goal, one which we will have to work hard to achieve. But by pulling together we've done big things with MAP in the past. Who recalls when MAP debuted in Fall, 2007, with 30 partner destinations in libraries in five metro Detroit counties? TLN does :) Nine years later MAP encompasses 83 counties, with 425 venues, in over 600 individual library buildings. Given that growth, is there any reason we can't reach our goal of 1,000,000 hits to the MAP website this year??? Yes, we set 1,000,000 hits to the MAP website as our goal for this year. Remember the Little Engine That Could, two of which we have as MAP destinations in the form of http://southernmichiganrailroad.com/ and http://trainandboattours.com/ The average pickup truck on the road today has more horsepower than either of the two locomotives you see in the pictures. But they get it done. And if they can, so can we! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The training will be led by coaches from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation . It will be robust, extensive, and is being offered at no charge to selected Michigan libraries, with generous stipends provided through Library of Michigan LSTA funding. The program On October 5-6, 2016, a cohort of up to 50 Michigan library staff will convene in Lansing, Michigan for a 1.5 day workshop led by two certified Harwood Institute coaches. That training will be followed up by nine months of coaching calls from Harwood, and guidance and support from Harwood trained Library of Michigan and MCLS staff. The Harwood Public Innovators Workshop is a 1.5 day experience to help you and your organization learn what it means to turn outward - to use the community, not your conference room, as your reference point for choices and action. Although free of charge to participate, this program will be rigorous. With support and guidance from MCLS and the Library of Michigan, cohort members are expected to develop action plans, implement those plans, and demonstrate how their efforts are making a change in their communities. Only those who can commit the time and energy are encouraged to participate. The Library of Michigan and MCLS have been using the tools of the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are excited to be able to support training for a cohort of Michigan library staff.

The award * Those awarded this opportunity will receive free tuition for the training and follow-up support. * Those awarded will receive stipends for two nights hotel lodging (strongly encouraged October 4 and 5) and travel expenses. The stipends will be on a sliding scale depending on the distance of travel from Lansing, MI: * Zone 1 (Less than 100 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $395 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second.

The first hit I got was an Oprah's Book Club novel, "Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail" by Malika Oufkir (on sale for $0.01 on Amazon if anyone's interested). The other one I found (and I think is the one you're looking for) is "The Crescent" by Chris Merle. The synopsis mentions an escape from a Saudi mental hospital, which might be confused for a prison, and talks of finding desert diamonds during an escape. The cover is red and black, but features a crescent moon rather than a diamond. Good luck on the search and hope this helped!

I do make the occasional, perhaps sometimes even useful, suggestion, though :) As we have reported MAP is gaining a following among library patrons that far exceeds what we have seen in past years. With all of this new interest comes many more questions from users, and from librarians, too. Nearly all of those questions can be distilled down to "how do I check out a MAP pass." To address this, we have added a "Click here for a step-by-step tutorial on how to check out a MAP pass" link to the MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info Clicking the link takes patrons to the "How to check out a Michigan Activity Pass" document at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/files/MAP-HOWTO.pdf If you poke around on the MAP website you will encounter the "Click here for a step-by-step tutorial on how to check out a MAP pass" link almost everywhere you go, under Brochure, News, More and Help. Everywhere except under Survey. And speaking of Survey, we have updated the MAP survey for this year, to make it more to the point (shorter). Patrons have responded, and over 100 surveys have been completed on the MAP website since go live on May 24. The MAP Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP-510259192344845/ has over 3,000 likes now. To further assist patrons and library staff we have pinned to the MAP FB page the "How To Check Out a Michigan Activity Pass" document, as well as the three brand new MAP brochures and the updated MAP survey, too. MAP: nearly 120,000 hits to the website since go live on May 24, and counting! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Message-ID: Before Bilingual Storytime: The Outreach Bridge to Engaging Latino and Spanish-speaking Families Thursday, July 7, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.html If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language storytime. It?s the ?if we build it, they will come? logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn?t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community. Presented by: Katie Scherrer, Connected Communities, consultant and co-author of Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytime in English and Spanish; and Lauren Simon, Community Librarian, Tualatin Public Library Coding for Everyone: How Your Library Can Help Anyone Learn to Code Tuesday, July 19, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/coding-for-everyone.html Computer programming, or coding, is a digital literacy skill that has become as important as reading and writing. Learning to code builds rational thinking and problem-solving skills, providing powerful tools that transfer to other subjects and create lifelong learners. Libraries have stepped up to help everyone learn the basics of coding - preschoolers, elementary school kids, tweens, teens, young adults, mid-career professionals, and retirees. In this webinar, learn why coding is important for everyone. Hear examples of informal and facilitated learning approaches, resources and best practices for library coding programs for a variety of audiences. And the best news is that you don?t need any specialized training in computer programming yourself to run a successful program! Presented by: Kelly Smith, Founder, Prenda Evette M.

Our policy has always been you have to live in our district to have a free card. If you do not live in our district you can purchase a non-resident card for $20 per year. Two county wide library systems adjacent to us have looser policies. One of them will give a free card with full access to all of their resources to anyone who applies. They like to joke if you have a pulse you can have a card. The other system gives a free card to anyone living within the boundaries of the Cooperative, but folks outside their service area cannot use the electronic resources. Another library in our county is in the process of setting up reciprocal borrowing agreements with neighboring libraries who want to participate. For a variety of reasons, my board is considering changing our policy on this. My questions are: 1. What are your requirements to get a free, full access library card? 2. Do you have a non-resident fee? If so how much, and who has to purchase a card to have full access? 3. If you give a free card to people who do not live in your service area, is it because of a formal or informal agreement with other libraries in your area or coop? 4. Do you have any problems, other than the usual, with patrons who do not live in your service area as far as returning materials, etc.? One more note, we live in a popular resort area so have a lot of transient visitors and boaters staying in the harbor for part of the year. Sorry this is so long, and thank you in advance for your response.

MeL database Academic OneFile is a prime example. Geared to the college/university level, it is a reliable source for peer-reviewed content from leading journals and reference sources. Is the patron interested in genetic DNA or mitochondrial haplogroups or invertebrate paleontology? Have no fear. Academic OneFile has recent scholarly journal articles on all three topics. Don't overlook the Browse by Disciple feature and Topic Finder tool which can lead to related connections for any search. And, not to be outdone, a search for the same topics in MeLCat yields many books available in participating libraries. A handy tip is to combine your database and book searches into one effort by utilizing the Discovery Search found on the MeLCat homepage. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL?

Seven Michigan students received special honors at this year's competition. "The History Day theme for 2016-Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History-allowed our students to investigate interesting topics and led them to produce very creative projects," said Andrea Lorion, State Coordinator for Michigan History Day (National History Day in Michigan). "We are proud of all the hard work and accomplishments of all our students throughout the History Day program." Michigan students competing in the National History Day competition represented several cities, including Ada, Bay City, Bloomfield Hills, Cassopolis, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Holland, Houghton, Kalamazoo, Marshall, Midland, Muskegon, Richland, South Haven, Traverse City and Whitehall. SPECIAL RECOGNITION Mackenzie Brandel from Whitehall High School in Whitehall was selected to represent Michigan at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History with her exhibit, "Encountering Change: Whitehall Girls' Cross Country, The Glass Ceiling, and the Power of Sport." Mackenzie was sponsored by coach Jan Klco. Daniela Castillo of Traverse City West Middle School in Traverse City, teacher Brett Graham, was the Special Award recipient for the Junior Division Latino-American History Award for Junior Paper with her entry, "Rosario Castellanos: A Journey to Equality Through Self-Expression - An Essay on Exploration, Encounter and Exchange." Ellie DuRussel and Victoria Wooley of Handy Middle School in Bay City, teacher Bob Pawlak, received the Junior Division Outstanding State Entry Award, designating them as best-in-state for Junior Group Website with their entry "World War II War Brides." Charles Parsons of Midland High School in Midland, teacher Valentina Woodcraft, placed fifth in the nation for Senior Individual Website with his entry "Bypass Odorizer: Stinky Sulfur Smell Saves Lives." Charles also received the Senior Division Outstanding State Entry Award, designating him as best-in-state. Hannah Lane-Davies of Anne Lape Homeschool in Kalamazoo, teacher Anne Lape, placed fifth in the nation for Senior Individual Documentary with her entry "Instant Cure: The Encounter that Changed Psychology." Dorris Dagama of Forest Hills Central High School in Grand Rapids, teacher James Cross, placed tenth in the nation for Senior Individual Website with her entry "Mike Gorman: Exploration and Exchange in the People's Fight for the Mentally Ill."

This discussion covered the age/grade/ability to write their names aspects and then progressed into talking about our frustrations in dealing with parents whose cards are blocked due to fines and long overdue materials who then open up a card in their young child's name so they (the adults) can still check out books and have access to our computers. (So yes, there are really two issues here.) Our current policy is that a child can receive a TDL library card at any age. The Registration Card is filled out and signed by the parent or legal guardian. They then sign a Release Form that emphasizes it is their responsibility to keep the card in good standing and allows them access to the child's borrowing record. As stated on our website: Cards for Minors Youths under the age of 18 will be issued their own Resident or Non-Resident library card when the parent or guardian signs a registration form and assumes all financial obligation. Access to the youth's borrowing record will be provided only if a release form is signed by the parent or guardian. A parent or guardian has to be present with the minor at the time of pick-up to sign the card and the Release Form. They must present a valid proof of residence. I agree with our current policy (no age limit, no grade limit, no can-they-write-their-name limit) because it allows equal access to all children within our service area (and I am aware of the Library Bill of Rights for Minors which I will share with the staff), but the group had several strong differing opinions. So I promised my Director and colleagues that I would request feedback from other libraries via Michlib-l so we could review a range of different policies. So, here goes! What is your library's policy concerning issuing library cards to minors and what is the reasoning or rationale behind that policy? Thank you for your time and assistance as we seek to compare different policies.

And yes, we also have 'abuse' of cards by parents who open a card in their children's name. However, I am not sure I could correlate that with the age of the child. We are about to change our policy so that a parent can only open a card for a child if the parent's card is in 'good standing'; the same would be true at time of renewal.

I know that age is completely arbitrary but that's what it is. We also use a circulation system, Atriuum by Book Systems, that links the parent or guardian to the child's card as the responsible party. That way if the parent owes money on either card we know about it. And when a child has overdue items sufficient to send them to collections it sends the responsible party instead. It works quite well and has solved that problem for us. Nannette Miller Elk Rapids District Library On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 11:15 AM, wrote: > I think the problem and frustration is universal.

We use Biblionix Apollo, and it allows the creation of family groups and fine-sharing across family groups. Anyone in the same household is part of the same family group, and when one is blocked because of fines in excess of $5.00, all family members are blocked. A parent with a card but not in good standing could sign their child up for a card, but that card would not be usable until the fines on the entire family's account are paid down. As for age when a child may get their own card- we have an unofficial policy of "as soon as they can write their name," but if a parent wants to sign their newborn or other child who cannot write up for a card, they can.

This discussion covered the age/grade/ability to write their names aspects and then progressed into talking about our frustrations in dealing with parents whose cards are blocked due to fines and long overdue materials who then open up a card in their young child's name so they (the adults) can still check out books and have access to our computers. (So yes, there are really two issues here.) Our current policy is that a child can receive a TDL library card at any age. The Registration Card is filled out and signed by the parent or legal guardian. They then sign a Release Form that emphasizes it is their responsibility to keep the card in good standing and allows them access to the child's borrowing record. As stated on our website: Cards for Minors Youths under the age of 18 will be issued their own Resident or Non-Resident library card when the parent or guardian signs a registration form and assumes all financial obligation. Access to the youth's borrowing record will be provided only if a release form is signed by the parent or guardian. A parent or guardian has to be present with the minor at the time of pick-up to sign the card and the Release Form. They must present a valid proof of residence. I agree with our current policy (no age limit, no grade limit, no can-they-write-their-name limit) because it allows equal access to all children within our service area (and I am aware of the Library Bill of Rights for Minors which I will share with the staff), but the group had several strong differing opinions. So I promised my Director and colleagues that I would request feedback from other libraries via Michlib-l so we could review a range of different policies. So, here goes! What is your library's policy concerning issuing library cards to minors and what is the reasoning or rationale behind that policy? Thank you for your time and assistance as we seek to compare different policies.

This discussion covered the age/grade/ability to write their names aspects and then progressed into talking about our frustrations in dealing with parents whose cards are blocked due to fines and long overdue materials who then open up a card in their young child's name so they (the adults) can still check out books and have access to our computers. (So yes, there are really two issues here.) Our current policy is that a child can receive a TDL library card at any age. The Registration Card is filled out and signed by the parent or legal guardian. They then sign a Release Form that emphasizes it is their responsibility to keep the card in good standing and allows them access to the child's borrowing record. As stated on our website: Cards for Minors Youths under the age of 18 will be issued their own Resident or Non-Resident library card when the parent or guardian signs a registration form and assumes all financial obligation. Access to the youth's borrowing record will be provided only if a release form is signed by the parent or guardian. A parent or guardian has to be present with the minor at the time of pick-up to sign the card and the Release Form. They must present a valid proof of residence. I agree with our current policy (no age limit, no grade limit, no can-they-write-their-name limit) because it allows equal access to all children within our service area (and I am aware of the Library Bill of Rights for Minors which I will share with the staff), but the group had several strong differing opinions. So I promised my Director and colleagues that I would request feedback from other libraries via Michlib-l so we could review a range of different policies. So, here goes! What is your library's policy concerning issuing library cards to minors and what is the reasoning or rationale behind that policy?

Anyone in the same household is part of the same family group, and when one is blocked because of fines in excess of $5.00, all family members are blocked. A parent with a card but not in good standing could sign their child up for a card, but that card would not be usable until the fines on the entire family?s account are paid down.

The new RFID tags now have a security data bit that lives on the actual tag, which is turned ON or OFF by the RFID scanner pad a the circ desk. On checkout, the tagged item is placed on the scanner, the item is checked out, and then the pad writes the data to the tag - changing the bit to a 0 or "Security OFF". (bits are set to 1 or "Security ON" upon check-in). This data write takes about 1 full second per tag. During the 1 second that this process takes, the tag inside the item absolutely must stay within the antenna range of the pad, or else the security bit does not get written successfully. If the security bit is not changed from 1 to 0, it will set off the security gates. Our staff had become so used to using the old checkpoint style pads, that their muscle memory kept the items moving in a swiping motion, instead of the required: place on pad, do not move item for 1-2 seconds, then move items away. One thing that helped them adjust to the new technique was having them place the item (or small stack of items) on the pad, and then take both hands completely off the items before picking them back up again. This was usually enough time to complete the data write. The ITG/Bibliotheca software also had an audible error that would sound if it detected a 'no write' condition - so we enabled the PC speakers on our circ desk computers as well. Stacks of items are slightly more tricky, and so some extra care must be taken if checking in/out stacks of items at once. We seem do well with a max of 4 or 5 items at one time. The pad can detect all the items barcodes, check them out, and then write all of the data bits individually - but if 1 of the items is moved out of the antenna field, with other tags still inside the field, it may not detect a data write failure. Circ staff who fanned out the items too much, and/or kept the items moving in a swiping motion, would often run into this problem. Stacks inherently take longer to complete, about 1 second per item in the stack. Not swiping items across the tag pad reader is a hard habit to 'unlearn', especially since it feels like it slows down the checkout process, even if for just 1 single second. Hope that is helpful, Tim Perry Computer Technician Ypsilanti District Library From: michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org] On Behalf Of Eric Blum Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2016 11:31 AM To: michlib-l at mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] 3M RFID Pads Hello Everyone, We have 3M RFID pads as well as a self-checkout unit.

We welcome the Albert L. Lorenzo Cultural Center http://www.lorenzoculturalcenter.com/ in Clinton Township as our newest (and 427th, if you are keeping track) partner destination in the MAP program. Thanks for getting on board with the Michigan Activity Pass program! 2. MAP is twice as much fun as last year. How can that be, and how do we know? Well, you've already circulated more than twice as many MAP passes during the period May 24, 2016 through June 30, 2016 (and June 30 is still young; the rest of today we will see big MAP reservation numbers) as was the case for May 24, 2015 through June 30, 2015. Therefore, we can conclude that library patrons find MAP to be twice as much fun as last year! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The training will be led by coaches from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation . It will be robust, extensive, and is being offered at no charge to selected Michigan libraries, with generous stipends provided through Library of Michigan LSTA funding. The program On October 5-6, 2016, a cohort of up to 50 Michigan library staff will convene in Lansing, Michigan for a 1.5 day workshop led by two certified Harwood Institute coaches. That training will be followed up by nine months of coaching calls from Harwood, and guidance and support from Harwood trained Library of Michigan and MCLS staff. The Harwood Public Innovators Workshop is a 1.5 day experience to help you and your organization learn what it means to turn outward - to use the community, not your conference room, as your reference point for choices and action. Although free of charge to participate, this program will be rigorous. With support and guidance from MCLS and the Library of Michigan, cohort members are expected to develop action plans, implement those plans, and demonstrate how their efforts are making a change in their communities. Only those who can commit the time and energy are encouraged to participate. The Library of Michigan and MCLS have been using the tools of the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are excited to be able to support training for a cohort of Michigan library staff. Eligibility * Applicants must be an employee or trustee of a Michigan library. * Applicants may be from any type of library; academic, public, school, institutional or special. * A maximum of 2 persons per library will be awarded scholarships. * It is strongly encouraged that applications include two persons. Applications including two persons will be ranked higher based on our criteria. * Collaborative applications with individuals from different libraries in geographic proximity are welcomed, and will receive the same ranking as two individuals from the same library. o Libraries that have already sent staff to Harwood training and are looking for additional training would also have equal consideration. The award * Those awarded this opportunity will receive free tuition for the training and follow-up support. * Those awarded will receive stipends for two nights hotel lodging (strongly encouraged October 4 and 5) and travel expenses. The stipends will be on a sliding scale depending on the distance of travel from Lansing, MI: * Zone 1 (Less than 100 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $395 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second. It is encouraged to carpool to conserve resources. * Zone 2 (100-250 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $545 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second.

While you could design your own, there's no need to do so because Gale makes available free promotional materials for you to order. Bookmarks, flyers, posters, tent cards, tip sheets, and more are MeL branded and can be customized to show your library's name/address/logo/url or other message as well, for shipment directly to your location, for free! Start at the Gale ProMo site, sign in**, select "I'll Take It" or "I'll Tweak It", scroll down to find the Michigan eLibrary, and choose the piece(s) of interest. In a few weeks you'll have colorful promo pieces to help boost database and library usage. **To obtain the required username and password unique to Michigan libraries, send an email to contact at mel.org Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.
