Holley) Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 15:41:27 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Help in getting comments to write a column about pleasure reading In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, I'm asking for your help by providing comments about my perception on the lack of attention paid to the importance of pleasure reading in public libraries. I posted the following question to PUBLIB but received relatively few responses. I'm hoping that Michigan librarians can give me some additional viewpoints. I'd like to stress that you don't have to agree. I would, in fact, appreciate some counter arguments. I have attached the full article if you wish to read it. Perhaps it would be best to send comments to me directly rather than post them on the list unless others say they would like to see them. Thanks for any help. In teaching the introductory library science course at Wayne State for the fourth time, I was struck by the lack of attention paid to recreational reading in the course readings. The stress for all types of libraries, including public libraries, was finding information for users. While I know that recreational reading is technically information, I don't think that the authors were talking about access to genre fiction. The same was true for the history of the public library with an emphasis upon teaching immigrants how to adapt to American culture. Am I correct in my assumption that even the early public libraries provided fiction that their patrons wanted to read, perhaps even fiction from popular authors with less than high literary status? Finally, my overall impression is that publicity about the value of public libraries tends to focus on things like helping people to find jobs, overcoming the digital divide by providing people with Internet access, support for economic development, etc. I don't much remember public libraries' bragging about providing tons of best sellers and genre fiction to their users though they may brag about circulation in general. I bring this up in part because I think that support for recreational reading is one of the reasons why the public library will not only survive but flourish. An average family of heavy readers would have trouble paying for the number of books that they wish to read unless they are happy enough with access to the free self-published materials available on many sites or with Project Gutenberg. Even this solution wouldn't work for acquiring quality materials to read in print before bed to younger children. Such a family can check out a hefty number of books, whether fiction or non-fiction, for their recreational/entertainment value. Many may not even have to use the catalog and other expensive information resources as they head to their familiar shelves, which may now be arranged in book store order. I've always been an academic librarian so I'd appreciate any opinions on my thoughts above. I'm not sure whether other members of the list are interested in this issue or whether I should ask for comments to be sent directly to me. I plan to treat this topic in my next column for Against the Grain and would like to have a bit more authority in what I say. Bob Robert P.

Because State Superintendent Brian Whiston's schedule doesn't allow him to reach all of the schools that ask, he wanted to provide a video of himself reading a children's book that schools and early childcare centers can play to the children.

Well, meteorological Spring (as opposed to calendar Spring, which will debut on March 20) arrived yesterday (you can tell by the color of the grass and roads) and with it, some very exciting news regarding the Michigan Activity Pass program that I just have to share with you. But first, a summary of where we stand, MAP-wise, as of today. Thanks to your hard work and promotional efforts you have circulated nearly three times as many MAP passes since program go live on May 24 as was the case for the entire previous twelve month period of the program! The number of "hits" to the MAP website is closing in on 500,000. The number of "likes" for the MAP Facebook page has surpassed 1,700. Etc. Keep it up everyone! You are doing a great job, and it is being noticed. Which brings me to the subject of the message... Today, we are very excited to announce that MAP has entered into a brand new partnership with the National Park Service and its Every Kid in a Park program. As a result, the following seven Michigan NPS sites will be added to the MAP website, with passes available beginning on or about May 21: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore http://www.nps.gov/slbe/index.htm River Raisin National Battlefield Park http://www.nps.gov/rira/index.htm North County National Scenic Trail http://www.nps.gov/noco/index.htm Isle Royale National Park http://www.nps.gov/isro/index.htm Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore http://www.nps.gov/piro/index.htm Keweenaw National Historical Park http://www.nps.gov/kewe/index.htm MotorCities National Heritage Area http://www.nps.gov/auto/index.htm Our partnership with NPS and the addition of these seven new destinations will only serve to enhance the visibility and usage of the MAP program by Michigan's public library patrons. We are also talking to several municipal (county and city) parks and recreation agencies, which could result in additional new partner venues for MAP. More details regarding that a little later. Finally, I don't think anyone would disagree that after nearly three years, the MAP website is in need of a refresh. Well, we have that covered, too! Thanks to our partners Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and Plymouth Rocket a completely redesigned MAP website is in the works. This new MAP website, including a MOBILE version, will be ready for use in time for the roll out of statewide MAP Year 4 in late May. Look for additional information regarding the new website, new partner venues, and new mobile version, very soon. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Imagine a library where all staff feel empowered to submit, vote and comment on service and workflow ideas. To reach this ideal, Sno-Isle Libraries (WA) has embraced the idea management process in order to consider and approve ideas holistically, for cost, benefit and time, and before a heavy investment of resources. Sno-Isle Libraries realized that building a collaborative, transparent framework to support workflows, change, ideas and community engagement is essential to creating a culture of purposeful innovation. During this webinar, you'll gain a clear understanding of the "what" and "why" of idea management, hear lessons learned, and leave with tools to empower staff to lead from any position by sharing their ideas. 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern Time [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corner_bl.gif] [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corner_br.gif] [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corner_tl.gif] [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corner_tr.gif] [http://www.webjunction.org/content/dam/emailcontent/callout_event_sm.gif] Thursday, March 31, 2016 Supervisor Success: Development Programs That Work As our profession transforms and our work changes, nurturing skillful and competent supervisors has become a priority for all types of libraries.

In-Reply-To: References: , Message-ID: [https://secureimages.capwiz.com/ala/actionalerts_mlm.png] Help Our LSTA / IAL Library Champions Help Us Now! It's that time of year again when Congressional cost-cutters sharpen their budget knives and go looking for under-supported federal programs to slash or discontinue. Last year, now Speaker of the House Paul Ryan proposed completely eliminating IMLS and with it over $200 million in funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL). Both of these programs are potentially on the chopping block this year and it's up to you to help save them. Library champions in Congress are now circulating "Dear Appropriator" letters to their colleagues urging members of the powerful Senate and House Appropriations Committees to fully fund LSTA and IAL (See the letters here). Please take just five minutes to contact your Representative in the House and both of your U.S. Senators and ask them to sign these letters (one each for LSTA and IAL in each chamber of Congress). Your help, and these funds, make a huge difference in what libraries and librarians can do for their patrons in every corner of the country. These "Dear Appropriator" letters carry tremendous weight with the Appropriations Committee. The more Members of Congress who sign them, the more likely LSTA and IAL - and the millions of Americans they help every year - are to survive and thrive. Time is short! Please, contact both your Senators and Representative now. Send an Email Make a Call Send a Tweet -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So far a month in the program has been going very well for us. We have five hotspots from T-Mobile and they rarely are in house for longer than a day. T-Mobile's rates are around $30 per month per unit, and the cost is in the neighborhood of $100 per unit. The devices run well and I have had no complaints about the quality of the internet the hotspots provide. I intend to get five more. There were some hiccups with initial setup. Although not insurmountable, you will want to make sure you have someone who keeps track of IMEI, Sim card and phone numbers of each unit so you can call and cancel service on any of them should they not return on time. There is also reporting software that should be up soon so devices can be shut down without a call, and some aggregate data can be gleaned. When the hotspots come in you will have to plug them into a desktop computer to download access software and then change the name of each device, change the password and take down the associated phone number. Then record the relevant numbers somewhere for future access. We have a clipboard signout sheet that a patron must sign to verify they agree to our policy. The patron gets a package that includes the hotspot, adapter cord, case and a small card a copy of the hotspot agreement with password. We use a $20.00 case logic camera case to store all relevant materials. Some relevant things to consider when writing policy include: 1) Age of users- since filtering would be difficult, patrons have to be 18 to check them out. It is also very clear in the agreement there is no filter. 2) Specifically where and how they are to be returned. 3) How many times per month they can be checked out. I have included a picture of what we include with our hotspot checkouts and our policy. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks!

In today?s world, broadband and fluency with technology fuel economic growth, provide access to the world?s knowledge, promote skill development, and build stronger and more connected communities. During President Obama?s seven years in office, we?ve seen unprecedented gains in wiring our nation for the future, including a tripling of the average home Internet speed, covering 98 percent of Americans with fast 4G/LTE mobile broadband, and doubling the number of schools connected to high-speed Internet. As a result, we?ve seen a technology sector that spans coast to coast, the creation of millions of high-paying jobs, and a revolution in the way students learn in the classroom. To further our efforts, and to ensure that low-income Americans can seize the opportunities of the digital age, President Obama is unveiling ConnectALL, an initiative to help Americans from across the country, at every income level, get online and have the tools to take full advantage of the Internet. Today, the Administration is submitting its recommendation that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reform a $1.5 billion per year Reagan-era phone subsidy program to turn it into a 21st Century national broadband subsidy to help low-income Americans get online. Alongside this FCC filing, the Administration is releasing a new study on the economic importance of broadband and calling for nonprofits, businesses, technology experts, and Government to join a national effort to reach the ConnectALL goal of connecting 20 million more Americans to broadband by 2020. BUILDING ON SEVEN YEARS OF BROADBAND GROWTH Today?s announcement rounds out seven years of progress expanding broadband, combining smart policy with unprecedented investment to deliver faster connectivity to more Americans in their homes, through their mobile devices, and where they learn and work. As a result, tens of millions more Americans are online now than when the President took office; his ConnectED Initiative has given over 20 million more K-12 students access to broadband in their classrooms and libraries; and 28 communities have come together under the banner of ConnectHome to ensure kids living in public housing have a reliable way to get online and do their homework. ENSURING LOW-INCOME AMERICANS AREN?T LEFT BEHIND Even with the significant progress we?ve made, more work remains to help all Americans access the economic benefits of broadband, especially low-income households. Families earning under $25,000 a year are about half as likely to have the Internet at home as families that are the most well-off. A new Issue Brief released today by the Council of Economic Advisers outlines how being offline is more than inconvenient; it creates specific economic costs, especially for job-seekers unable to access online job search tools. Today, because of a digital divide, low-income Americans have a harder time accessing these tools, and unemployed workers without home Internet access take a longer time to find employment. Given these costs, we cannot be satisfied if broadband is out of reach for anyone in America, and today, President Obama is acting to make that a part of the past. So today, the President is launching ConnectALL to ensure more Americans have the broadband they need to get a job, engage their community, and deliver opportunity to their children by: ? Increasing the affordability of broadband for low-income Americans. Today, the Department of Commerce?s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), on behalf of the Administration, is filing comments in support of the FCC?s effort to reform its Lifeline program to address the way people communicate in the 21st century. When Lifeline was first created under President Reagan, it was designed to provide low-income Americans with financial assistance to purchase affordable phone service, so the most vulnerable Americans were connected to the rest of the country. In 2005, President George W. Bush expanded the program to include mobile phones. Now in 2016, when we use the Internet to communicate more than ever, it is time to modernize Lifeline and make sure that all Americans can access the broadband services they need. The Lifeline reforms the Administration is recommending today would give the 12 million households currently using the subsidy for phone service immediate help paying their monthly broadband bill. And it has the potential to benefit tens of millions more. The modernization we are outlining: ? * Encourages consumer choice. The subsidy should be flexible enough to let low-income Americans choose the service plans that best fit their families? needs ? whether voice, data plans, or in-home broadband. We are recommending a direct and portable benefit that consumers can use to make their own choices about what services they need and who they get those services from. o * Coordinates Enrollment with other Government Programs. Those eligible for Lifeline are oftentimes eligible for other government assistance. Coordination will increase the efficacy and functionality of the program?s administration while also letting those who need it most know about the resources available to them. The proposed reforms would allow Americans to obtain education about or simultaneously enroll themselves in the revamped Lifeline program when they enroll in another state-administered public assistance program, such as Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Tribally-Administered Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TTANF). ? ? Initiating a national service effort to deliver digital literacy skills. To increase access to digital literacy training, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the Federal agency that engages millions of Americans in service and in developing community solutions, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the primary source of Federal support for the nation?s 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums, are collaborating on a Digital Literacy Pilot Project. AmeriCorps VISTA members will support libraries, museums and associated community organizations located in tribal and rural communities. The goal is to build capacity and increase digital literacy efforts, complementing the Administration?s work to increase broadband adoption among low-income households. o * Additionally, Make School, a two-year college alternative that teaches advanced coding and product development, is announcing the creation of a new tool that will teach the basic, but vital, skills needed to get people online and experiencing the benefits that the Internet has to offer. o ? Increasing access to affordable devices. In order to promote the reuse of equipment no longer needed by the federal government, the General Services Administration (GSA) will lead an inter-agency effort to re-engineer the Computers for Learning program to expand access to devices for more organizations that help provide digital literacy and training for low-income Americans. Computers for Learning allows schools and nonprofit organizations to take advantage of unneeded federal computer equipment. In 2014, 38 Federal Agencies donated thousands of devices, and the program?s reforms are designed to significantly increase these numbers. ? ? Announcing the development of a tool to support broadband planning. To empower more communities with strategies to support and accelerate local broadband planning efforts, NTIA?s BroadbandUSA program is launching the Community Connectivity Initiative, which will create a comprehensive online assessment tool to help community leaders identify critical broadband needs and connect them with expertise, tools, and resources for overcoming the challenges to expanded broadband deployment and adoption. ? * The American Library Association; Blandin Foundation; ConnectME Authority; EveryoneOn; ICMA, The International City/County Management Association; National Association of Counties; National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors; National Digital Inclusion Alliance; National League of Cities; New America?s Open Technology Institute; Next Century Cities, NetworkMe, NTCA-The Rural Broadband Association; Schools, Health, and Libraries Broadband Coalition (SHELB); and US Ignite have come on board to collaborate with NTIA to design and develop the tool. * In addition, initial communities who will support the development of the tool include Ammon, ID; Arvada, CO; Baltimore, MD; Bettendorf, IA; Boston, MA; Charlotte, NC; Greenbelt, MD ; Hopewell, VA.; Hot Springs, AK.; Hurst, TX; Kansas City, MO.; Kenmore, WA; Lenexa, KS.; Oak Harbor, WA; Putnam, CT; SeaTac, WA; Red Wing, MN; Sammamish, WA; and Seattle, WA. * The Community Connectivity Initiative will build on NTIA?s extensive work with communities across the country, supporting broadband planning, infrastructure deployment, public computer centers, and a wide range of community applications. o ? Bringing together private sector companies helping to deliver affordable connectivity. Companies are also lending their support for low-income families in their service areas. Today, Cox Communications is announcing it will host more than 200 events across the nation for low-income K-12 families, automatically qualifying attendees for their low-cost broadband option. Later this year, the company will partner with Univision to promote internet adoption through live programming, public service announcements and community events in such markets as Phoenix, Las Vegas, and San Diego. ? ? Marshaling philanthropic support for digital inclusion. To increase access to resources to support digital inclusion efforts under way in communities across the country, later this year the Administration will convene leaders in the philanthropic, non-profit, and private sectors to a summit focused on building on our progress to date and delivering on ConnectALL?s vision of connecting 20 million more Americans to broadband by 2020.

So, find a school and then find a farmer to nominate your school/library partnership! America's Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, partners with farmers to help school districts fund math and science projects to enhance STEM curriculum in across rural America. Between now and April 1, eligible farmers can nominate an eligible public school district in their community. Nominated school districts can then submit grant applications for a $10,000 or $25,000 math and science grant through April 15, 2016. In the past, the grants have supported a variety of initiatives, including new technology for hands-on learning, greenhouses and outdoor classroom instruction and scientific laboratory advancements. School districts are encouraged to be creative and innovative with their projects to tailor their application to the needs of their students. The only requirement is that the funds help enhance math and science in their district for the 2016-2017 school year. All school applications are evaluated based on merit, need and community support. The America's Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council, a group of farmers from across the U.S., will select the winning grant applications, which will be announced in August.

Leslee Niethammer passed away on March 11, 2016 after a battle with cancer that began last June. Leslee was the long-time Director of the Saline District Library, having served in that capacity since 1989. She saw the Library through its transition to a district library in 1991, opening a new facility in 1994, and then expanding that building in 2008. Leslee was a very active member of the Saline community and positioned the Library to be at its center. Over the years, Leslee represented the Library by serving in leadership roles for nearly every community organization and had a part in founding important groups such as the Saline Coalition for a Quality Community and Saline Leadership Institute. Leslee was passionate about nature and art, and she shared her passions with the community by installing gardens, trails, and works of art throughout the Library grounds, and by rotating art exhibits inside the building. Leslee and her legendary smile will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and Library colleagues. Visitation and services will be held at First United Methodist Church of Saline, 1200 North Ann Arbor Street in Saline. Visitation: Monday 4:00-8:00 p.m. and Tuesday 10:00-11:00 a.m. Memorial Service: Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. Further details: http://www.rbfhsaline.com/obituaries/Leslee-Niethammer/#!/Obituary Mary Ellen Mulcrone Assistant Director Saline District Library 555 N.

I am writing to all of you because I am honored and truly humbled that I have been nominated to serve on the 2018 Newbery Award Committee.

Michael On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 7:10 PM, Michael Mccaffery wrote: Hi all When I floated the request for information on hotspots a few months ago, I got some feedback that some wanted to know how it went, and wanted to know how I approached it. So far a month in the program has been going very well for us. We have five hotspots from T-Mobile and they rarely are in house for longer than a day. T-Mobile's rates are around $30 per month per unit, and the cost is in the neighborhood of $100 per unit. The devices run well and I have had no complaints about the quality of the internet the hotspots provide. I intend to get five more. There were some hiccups with initial setup. Although not insurmountable, you will want to make sure you have someone who keeps track of IMEI, Sim card and phone numbers of each unit so you can call and?cancel service on any of them should they not return on time. There is also reporting software that should be up soon so devices can be shut down without a call, and some aggregate?data can be gleaned. When the hotspots come in you will have to plug them into a desktop computer to download access software and then change the name of each device, change the password and take down the associated phone number. Then record the relevant numbers somewhere for future access. We have a clipboard signout sheet that a patron must sign to verify they agree to our policy. The patron gets a package that includes the hotspot, adapter cord, case and a small card a copy of the hotspot agreement with password.?We use a $20.00 case logic camera case to store all relevant materials. Some relevant things to consider when writing policy include: 1) Age of users- since filtering would be difficult, patrons have?to be 18 to check them out. It is also very clear in the agreement there is no filter. 2) Specifically where and how they are to be returned. 3) How many times per month they can be checked out. I have included a picture of what we include with our hotspot checkouts and our policy. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks!

He is involved with Gardens Across America and the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company. I just learned today that THE world-wide expert in botanical seed saving just happens to be in Michigan and just happens to want to see our speaker at the same time that he is speaking at our library. So now we will have a very special guest speaker for our little library program; one who is used to speaking to hundreds if not thousands of people at conferences world- wide. (no pressure here). If you can join us, or know of anyone who would like to attend, please come to our program this Saturday, March 19th @ 1:00 PM to hear the Botanical Explorer, Joseph Simcox. He has an infectious energy for seeds and has a personality to match! This will be a very entertaining program. Flyer attached. Thank you! Mary @ Tamarack District Library 832 S.

In its March 15, 2016 issue, Library Journal named 54 outstanding professionals committed to providing excellent service and shaping the future of libraries. Werner was selected in the category Change Agents because of his commitment to the profession and push to further the modern conveniences libraries can offer their patrons. Library Journal honored Werner because of his ability to garner unlikely support for big ideas and his success in bridging the digital divide. Under Werner's direction, KDL has developed the most robust standalone eBook collection in the states (88,891 eBooks and e Audiobooks) and became the first public library in Michigan to offer eMagazines, eMovies and eComics. "This year's class of 54 joins a group of talented professionals who are committed, passionate and invigorated-each alone and all together transforming the library world and the communities it impacts for the better," said Rebecca T. Miller, Editorial Director of Library Journal and School Library Journal. Werner has been Director of Kent District Library since May 2011. He previously served as Director of the Capital Area District Library in Lansing, MI and as a Library Law Specialist at the Library of Michigan. He earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado, a J.D. from Michigan State University and an M.L.I.S. from Wayne State University. The 2016 Movers & Shakers were selected by the editors of Library Journal, the profession's leading trade magazine. Each of the Movers & Shakers will be prominently featured in the March 15th issue of Library Journal and celebrated at a special reception in June during the American Library Association's annual conference in Orlando, FL. The print feature's companion website is sponsored by OCLC and available at www.libraryjournal.com/movers2016.

How about when you want to pitch MAP to a new potential partner venue in your area? Or when you are coordinating a MAP program at your library? I am happy to report that thanks to Brigette at TLN, we have you covered. Brigette has created a brand new PowerPoint presentation for you to use, and share. It gives a brief history of the MAP program and its somewhat humble beginnings, a summary of MAP's ginormousness today, as well as what to look for in the MAP future. I've attached a copy of the new MAP PowerPoint presentation. In the event the attachment gets scrubbed, the presentation is also available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ and then clicking on the link named MAP's Evolution (PowerPoint Presentation). Please note that we are in the process of updating the numerous other MAP promo pieces that are also linked on this page. There is one number in the presentation that I am happy to update. Slide 6 notes "391 destinations." That was so yesterday! :) Today, if you visit the MAP website and ask to see every destination, you get 394 results. And thanks to our new partner venues that have signed up to go live with MAP at renewal time, as things stand today we have a total of 403 MAP partner venues (I have hidden nine of them until go live time). I really wanted us to have 400 partner destinations for 2016-2017, a goal which thanks to all of your hard work and promotion, we have now achieved. "MAP, 16 times as many partner destination venues in 2016 as was the case in 2007." Oh yeah! Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Today the Senate voted 36- 2 to pass the seven-bill package allowing libraries to protect their dedicated special millages. The bills will now move to the House. The library community appreciates the Senate's support of solutions to help keep our libraries adequately funded. Today's passage of legislation that would enable libraries to choose participation in tax captures validates the voters who go to the polls and overwhelmingly choose to support their libraries by approving a dedicated library millage.

Consider submitting it to the ARSL conference programming committee and you could earn free conference registration! See info below. Thanks, Colleen DEADLINE APPROACHING! The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) is extending the deadline for proposals for break-out session presentations for the 2016 Conference being held in Fargo, North Dakota on October 27-29, 2016! The new deadline will be Saturday, March 26. Proposals for these 1-hour sessions can be submitted using our online form found here: http://goo.gl/forms/WZ8bXNtVV6 All proposals will be reviewed by the Conference Programming Committee. Those who submit a proposal will be notified whether or not their proposal was accepted by April 29, 2016. This year?s conference theme is ?North of Normal.? We?d like to hear about creative ideas that take your library beyond normal. Our members are small and rural library practitioners and love hearing about practical ideas they can take back to their library and implement. And of course, we are always interested in ways to make the most of small budgets. There is a change in policy this year, we will now allow vendors to submit proposals. They will go through the same process for selection as all proposals. Presentations should not be product specific. To be considered, a presentation must contain useful information without purchasing a product. Workshop presenters will receive ONE complimentary conference registration per workshop title selected, i.e. a team of three presenters working on one workshop will receive one complimentary registration. The committee is looking forward to receiving your submissions. Good Luck!

Award from Library Journal Jessica Anne Bratt of the Grand Rapids Public Library has been named a ?Mover and Shaker? in the library industry by the national publication Library Journal. In its March issue, Library Journal named 54 outstanding professionals committed to providing excellent service and shaping the future of libraries. Jessica Anne Bratt was selected because of her commitment to the profession and her work in creating DigiBridge, a partnership between the Grand Rapids Public Library and the Grand Rapids Public Schools. DigiBridge connects students and educators to the library's online resources and technology. The goal is to bridge the technology gap that students face by providing them with eReaders, a technology camp, database training, and digital library cards. In 2014, DigiBridge was awarded the Urban Libraries Council Top Innovator Award for Leading Learning. In 2015, the project was honored with the Upstart Innovation Award. Bratt currently serves the Grand Rapids Public Library as a Youth Librarian. She has presented nationally on collaborations between schools and libraries, engaging teens in literacy through technology, and reader?s advisory gap for tweens and young adults. Library Journal honored Bratt not only because of the impact of DigiBridge, but also because of her dedication to educate the library community about public school/public library partnerships.

The institute is designed to help future library leaders develop and practice their leadership skills in areas critical to the future of the libraries they lead. Building on the success of the past three ALA Leadership Institutes, and with support from Innovative Interfaces, Inc., the four-day immersive leadership development program for up to 40 mid-career librarians will be led again by ALA past-president Maureen Sullivan and library and leadership consultant Kathryn Deiss. The application form as well as details and guidelines are available on the Transforming Libraries website. Applicants may nominate themselves or be nominated by their employer. Participation includes a free one-year membership in LLAMA (Library Leadership and Management Association). Through reflective and active learning, the institute offers participants an opportunity to delve into leadership practices, concepts, and frameworks, and to shape their own sustainable leadership vision and ethos, at the same time as building a learning community and network. With content based on real-world cases and nuanced situations, participants explore topics related to the greatest challenges and possibilities of leading into a future marked by turbulence and ambiguity. Participants in the past three institutes "can't sing the praises of the institute enough." They report gaining the "confidence to become more comfortable networking, get involved in my [local] library association, and seek out new career opportunities" and becoming "a stronger mentor to my staff and utilizing a leadership style which is both inclusive and inspiring." The consensus is that the institute "inspires confidence and encourages attendees to pursue leadership opportunities they might not have done otherwise." Application deadline is Friday, April 15, 2016. Support for the institute is provided by Innovative Interfaces, Inc.

Today the Senate voted 36- 2 to pass the seven-bill package allowing libraries to protect their dedicated special millages. The bills will now move to the House. The library community appreciates the Senate's support of solutions to help keep our libraries adequately funded. Today's passage of legislation that would enable libraries to choose participation in tax captures validates the voters who go to the polls and overwhelmingly choose to support their libraries by approving a dedicated library millage. Many of these locally dedicated taxes currently are being withheld against the libraries' choice and in many cases without the voting taxpayer's knowledge or approval. Call or email your Senator and say thanks. Read Michigan Library Association's official News Release.

I would like a networked unit that we can download employee hours for my bookkeeper to use for payroll. I've seen some that interface with QuickBooks, but reviews say reports and exports can be unreliable. Also, some of the cheaper models lose their data during a power loss, so we want a battery backup option. What do you use at your library? How well does it work? I need recommendations! Also, if you do payroll and bookkeeping in-house, what software do you use? Just wondering, as our auditor said not very many organizations use QuickBooks anymore. Thanks!

Save the Date: April 13, 2016, 6:30 pm Kalamazoo Public Library - 315 South Rose Street Kalamazoo Public Library is proud to invite you to meet the 2016 winner of the inaugural Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Children's Literature, Jason Reynolds! Event will take place on Wednesday, April 13, 6:30 pm at Kalamazoo Public Library's Central location - 315 South Rose Street, Kalamazoo. Doors will open at 6 pm. This event is free and open to the public. Reynolds will speak about his life experiences and what inspires him as a writer. Doors will open at 6 pm. Reynold's books will be offered for sale by a local independent bookstore, Bookbug. If you have not heard Jason Reynolds speak, trust us you don't want to miss this epic event! In the meantime, be sure to visit your local Kalamazoo Public Library location and check out his latest, All American Boys! About Jason Reynolds Jason Reynolds is crazy - about stories. After earning a BA in English from The University of Maryland, College Park, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, where you can often find him walking the four blocks from the train to his apartment talking to himself. Well, not really talking to himself, but just repeating character names and plot lines he thought of on the train, over and over again, because he's afraid he'll forget it all before he gets home. Jason is the author of critically acclaimed When I Was the Greatest, for which he was the recipient of the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award for New Talent; the Coretta Scott King Honor books Boy in the Black Suit and All American Boys (co-written with Brendan Kiely); and As Brave as You, his middle grade debut. You can find his ramblings at JasonWritesbooks.com. Photos and more information available - contact Farrell Howe at farrellh at kpl.gov.

Hubble's orbit outside the distortion of Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely high resolution images with negligible background light. Weather permitting, we will then go outside to look at space from some telescopes set up outside the Warren library. Teens and adults are welcome. This will be held Monday, April 4, 2106 at 6:30 pm in the Civic Center Conference Room. On Wednesday, April 6 at 6 pm learn about Depression Glass from Jan Borrensen-Hector of the Great Lakes Depression Glass Collectors Club. She will also take us on a tour of the glass display currently in our showcases. This program will take place in the Civic Center Conference Room. Alex Tarnavsky spent 25 years researching the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In his fictionalized account, Masters of Deceit, you will experience the mystery of an event that continues to cause controversy to this day. Join us for a lecture, book signing, and a small reception. Friday, April 8 at 6:30 pm in the Civic Center Conference Room. Thank you for helping us promote our programs.

The product is especially useful for libraries, non-profit organizations, small business and governmental agencies. MMLC has used QuickBooks Pro for over 20 years. In October, 2015, I completed an extensive QuickBooks certification training. The class had over 30 participants from the mid-Michigan area who are just starting to utilize this product. Our auditor, and the auditors of many of our members, routinely recommend QuickBooks Pro for its versatility and ease of use. Many of our public library members utilize this software for book-keeping and payroll, and agree that this software meets all their bookkeeping needs. Last year, we had an independent auditor contact the MMLC office to obtain permission to share our QuickBooks manual with their non-profit clients. You can find our manual at this link on the MMLC website: http://mmlc.info/documents/QuickBooks%20Procedure%20Manual.pdf We have however found that you need to use the full QuickBooks Pro version, not the Cloud version. The Cloud version does not lend itself well to full payroll and bookkeeping functionality. If you have other questions about QuickBooks please feel free to contact me.

The product is especially useful for libraries, non-profit organizations, small business and governmental agencies. MMLC has used QuickBooks Pro for over 20 years. In October, 2015, I completed an extensive QuickBooks certification training. The class had over 30 participants from the mid-Michigan area who are just starting to utilize this product. Our auditor, and the auditors of many of our members, routinely recommend QuickBooks Pro for its versatility and ease of use. Many of our public library members utilize this software for book-keeping and payroll, and agree that this software meets all their bookkeeping needs. Last year, we had an independent auditor contact the MMLC office to obtain permission to share our QuickBooks manual with their non-profit clients. You can find our manual at this link on the MMLC website: http://mmlc.info/documents/QuickBooks%20Procedure%20Manual.pdf We have however found that you need to use the full QuickBooks Pro version, not the Cloud version. The Cloud version does not lend itself well to full payroll and bookkeeping functionality. If you have other questions about QuickBooks please feel free to contact me.

I would like a networked unit that we can download employee hours for my bookkeeper to use for payroll. I've seen some that interface with QuickBooks, but reviews say reports and exports can be unreliable. Also, some of the cheaper models lose their data during a power loss, so we want a battery backup option. What do you use at your library? How well does it work? I need recommendations! Also, if you do payroll and bookkeeping in-house, what software do you use? Just wondering, as our auditor said not very many organizations use QuickBooks anymore. Thanks!

Some wireless printers come with the GCP feature built-in, but all printers can be used when you connect it to a PC via USB and configure GCP using the PC. You can't limit usage too much, so it may get abused. The only thing that you can limit is the amount of printed pages per day per user. You can only accept payments for prints the old fashioned way... with library staff. If the printer is at a public desk (reference or checkout,) staff could collect payment when the patron comes to pick up the prints.

Could you please share this information with any organizations that you think may be interested? The information below includes a link to register for the Webinar. Thank you for sharing the information below with your Summer meals contacts who may be interested in participating in this Webinar. - Sandra [cid:image002.jpg at 01D18363.DD537450] Libraries & Museums Serving Free Summer Meals [Register for Event] or click here to register ________________________________ Meeting Description: USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides free, nutritious meals to kids & teens 18 years old and younger in low-income communities during summer break. The program depends on community organizations like libraries and museums to serve the meals in a safe, convenient, and fun environment. The challenge for the program is having enough of these sites that serve summer meals. In some communities there are only a few or no places that serve summer meals. Libraries and museums are perfect sites because they are well-known, safe, and can add fun learning activities. Please join this webinar to learn more about how your library or museum can get involved. There will be ample time for you to ask questions and share ideas.

Give yourselves a round of applause, as your promotion and publicity is really making the difference here. And it isn't just museum passes, either. Per this article that appeared in the March 20 edition of the Detroit Free Press, libraries all across Michigan have a variety of other neat things to lend, too: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2016/03/20/libraries-unique-offerings-art-books/77478298/ Speaking of MAP promotion, earlier today I got an email from a library staff member who works at a public library in the southwestern part of the state. She wanted to tell me that she had used our PowerPoint presentation to introduce MAP to one of her local cultural institutions. Her program was so well received that the institution said they were planning to send their signed MAP agreement to me right away! Finally, we are talking to a potential new MAP partner that, if we are able to secure an agreement with this organization, would result in a huge increase in MAP publicity and attendance. I'm not going to name the potential partner at this time. But it is one of those places that everybody likes to go :) Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

It will be held at the University of Michigan Bentley Historical Library at 1150 Beal Avenue, Ann Arbor. Please spread the word! The theme for this camp is Bringing the Past Into the Future. The agenda will consist of informal presentations and discussions by attendees about interesting projects or problems followed by a tour of the Bentley Library. The time is 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. There is no cost for the camp but registration is required in order to attend. Lunch will be provided. Parking will be at metered lot NC5 (accepts cash or credit cards at a kiosk). Parking map: http://pts.umich.edu/maps/north_medical.pdf If you have attended a C&C Care Camp before, you know that it is conducted in an informal environment designed for participants to share conservation-related accomplishments, ask colleagues about their experiences, and to give and get advice. The focus is primarily, though not exclusively, about "analog" materials: paper, photographs, film, art, etc. The Bentley now has a "teaching" podium that has a windows PC, with Powerpoint, Internet access, a wide-screen projector, etc. People can also plug in their Mac or PC laptops if they desire. You can read about some previous camps on the woefully out of date "Michigan Collections Network" blog. https://michigancollectionsnetwork.wordpress.com/ Please plan to come and share your experiences and to learn from your peers. We want to hear about your projects! Email Dianna Samuelson sdianna at umich.edu with questions, to reserve a place on the agenda (15-30 minute time slots), and to register.

It was posted on her blog, not sent to me directly! "Once again, I?m turning to you for help with the next novel. An Unremembered Life (yes, new working title) is the story of Annie Clements, who was once known around the world as America?s Joan of Arc. This extraordinary 25-year-old woman was a pivotal figure in the labor movement of the Progressive Age. In 1913, she led a strike that shut down 20 copper mines for nearly a year in Michigan?s Upper Peninsula. Obviously, there are few (if any) people who remember those days directly, but I?m hoping some of you have family memories of strikes that have been passed down. The strikes don?t need to be as early as 1913, nor do they have to be about striking miners. They could also be about storekeepers in towns where a strike is ongoing, for example. Because the novel is about a strike at a copper company where there were only two women employed (as office workers), I?m particularly interested in the experience of the wives and children of strikers because so little has been written about them. How were food and clothing collected and shared? What kind of meals women managed to put on the table, what sort of support they got from other unions, etc. Did the children continue to go to school in company towns? How were they affected? I?m also interested in family anecdotes that demonstrate the strikers? reaction to prolonged idleness, tension over how long the strike would go on.?

A webinar presenting a ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community STEM leaders. Youth in grades K-12 spend an astounding 81% of their time in informal learning environments outside of school. Libraries are a locus of informal learning. As the number of STEM related careers continues to multiply, libraries can play a key role in fostering the interest and excitement for STEM learning that may be missing in schools. Through the generous support of a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Kitsap Regional Library System (KRL) has developed a ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community STEM leaders. If you feel like an "accidental STEM librarian" and are wondering how to get started, staff at this semi-rural library system will share fresh ideas and hands-on, practical advice for planning and implementing impactful programs. Learn how to take the lead with informal learning for youth and families in your community.

We'll talk for 15 minutes or so about options for using various 3D modeling tools to help students and patrons really become creators of 3D models, not just printers/consumers of others' designs. This creator/consumer tug-of-war is something we struggle with a lot, so we imagine we're not the only ones! Then we'll open up the conversation for your ideas, questions, and concerns. Hope to see you online -- see below for login information! If you can't make it, we'll archive the conversation here . Also, for those of you in high schools with career and technical education programs, don't forget that the deadline for initial entry in the U.S. Department of Education's CTE Makeover Challenge ($200K in prize money) is also this Friday, April 1. This initial proposal is designed to take no more than an hour. Successful applicants in the initial round are then invited to an extended "boot camp" to build up skills and expertise prior to submitting a final application later this spring, which should really help level the playing field!

Join us on May 20, 2016 in Lansing to hear speakers, view posters, and participate in discussions that will help you become an advocate for excellent customer service at your library. Here is just a sample of the day's offerings: Everything is a Service: New Perspectives on Assessing the Library Using Service Design Academic librarians are not new to designing or assessing services, but we tend to develop these services in isolation from other services we offer. We need to see the whole library as an integrated and tightly coupled system. Enter service design. Service design is a holistic, co-creative methodology that puts the user at the center of the service delivery model. Service design offers a framework and mindset to assess and contextualize services so we can see the whole picture. When viewed this way, the library's interconnections are made tangible and we, as service providers, can see the library as a unified experience as our users do. The end result is better service for our users. Joe Marquez, Reed College Library Emotions in the Library Workplace Academic librarians, like other service professionals, are expected to display certain emotions as part of their basic job responsibilities: smiling through a difficult interaction with a faculty member; calming a panicked undergraduate student; feigning enthusiasm for a bad idea that comes from higher administration. This presentation explores the emotion process as it occurs in the workplace, summarizes the core constructs of emotional labor (EL), and suggests practices librarians can use to effectively manage emotional regulation for effective service.

Message-ID: *2016 Midwest Literary Walk Showcases Stellar Lineup* *March 28, 2016 | Chelsea, MI* The Chelsea District Library is excited to announce the return of their popular event - the Midwest Literary Walk. Back for its 8th year, this year's walk will showcase nationally-lauded authors and poets at various venues throughout downtown Chelsea. The event will be held on Saturday, April 30 from 1-5pm and is free to the public. It is made possible in part by this year's sponsors: Friends of Chelsea District Library, Literati Bookstore, Detroit Public TV, WDET, Astral Road Media, ChelseaMich.com, Chelsea Alehouse, and McKinely Properties. This year?s exceptional lineup opens with Christopher Sorrentino (*The Fugitives*), former National Book Award Finalist for Fiction at 1pm at the Chelsea Depot (125 Jackson St.) Set in Michigan, *The Fugitives* blends the literary fiction and crime thriller genres. LA Times describes it as a ?stunning new novel? with exceptional interior monologues animated by deception, double-dealing and a doomed affair?? At 2pm National Book Award ?5 Under 35? Honoree Claire Vaye Watkins (*Gold Fame Citrus*) will also read at the Chelsea Depot. The hauntingly beautiful *Gold Fame Citrus* takes place in a future American West ravaged by drought and follows a young couple and mysterious child as they try to make their way to a better life. The Midwest Literary Walk then moves to the Clocktower Commons (320 N. Main St.) for Robin Coste Lewis (*Voyage of the Sable Venus*) winner of the 2015 National Book Award for Poetry and Jamaal May (*The Big Book of Exit Strategies) American* Library Association Notable Book Honoree. At 3pm, the two poets will discuss poetry, interspersed with readings of their work. At 4pm, bestselling novelist Paula McLain (*Circling the Sun*, *The Paris Wife*) will take the stage at the Clocktower Commons. McLain?s latest *Circling the Sun* brings to life the fearless and captivating Beryl Markham, a record-setting aviator caught up in a passionate love triangle with safari hunter Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, who as Isak Dinesen wrote the classic memoir *Out of Africa*.

Message-ID: <012b01d189c6$916c0340$b44409c0$@gossagesager.com> Library Director Position! Champaign Public Library - connecting our community with the power of knowledge, the world of culture and ideas, and the joy of reading. The Board of Trustees of the Champaign Public Library seeks a creative and innovative leader as its next Library Director-a leader working strategically with staff, residents and community organizations creating a shared vision for future library services and programs. The successful candidate oversees and manages the Library's facilities which include the Main Library, the Douglass Branch and the FriendShop Bookstore. Serving as Champaign's dynamic community hub, the Library hosts 1,675+ library and community meetings and events. Since 2011, the Library has been an annual Library Journal "four star" library. In 2014, the Library won the John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award for the Library Foundation's "Show Some Library Love" campaign. Fundraising efforts resulted in a 30% increase in gifts received and a 60% increase in dollars raised. With a $6.6 million annual budget and the support of the Friends of the Library and the Champaign Public Library Foundation, the new director and staff (69 FTEs) will analyze community needs and recommend policies, strategies, programs and services to provide new opportunities for community engagement. The Library is affiliated with the City of Champaign and the Director serves as a member of the City's Executive Management Team. The Library is a member of the Illinois Heartland Library System, a consortium of 545 member libraries in central and southern Illinois, and maintains a separate Polaris ILS shared with the Urbana Free Library. Champaign offers an appealing combination of big city cultural and recreational amenities and a small friendly city atmosphere. Champaign serves a growing city population of 82,000 and county population of 200,000. At the intersection of education, innovation, and micro-urban living, Champaign residents are proud of the city's rich history, ethnic diversity, and strong sense of tradition; care deeply for their city; and participate actively in the issues which shape the community. Lying within the crossroads of three of the country's largest cities-Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis-Champaign is distinctively placed in an ideal location. Champaign owes its vibrant college-town atmosphere to the presence of the University of Illinois, a top-ranking public university with a current enrollment over 40,000. Strong academic programs, including the #1 ranked Graduate School of Library and Information Science program in the nation, attract outstanding faculty from across the globe and one of the largest international student populations in the country. Additionally, Parkland College, the exceptional Unit 4 School District, and 15 private and parochial schools provide excellent educational opportunities. Champaign also gains financial stability from a diverse industrial, professional and economic base, with an emphasis on technology, government and business employment. The city's neighborhoods offer numerous lifestyle choices including the urban character of downtown living, charming center-city neighborhoods, or new subdivisions with spacious homes. Extensive parks, bicycle-friendly roads, amateur sports, and a diverse array of artistic and cultural opportunities contribute to the outstanding quality of life in Champaign. For additional information on the Library, the City and the area see Champaign Links . Responsibilities. The Library Director provides strategic, innovative and visionary leadership by strategically aligning the interests of the library's various stakeholders to shape the current and future role of libraries.

Other responsibilities include planning, directing, and supervising all aspects of library services, facilities and activities and being responsible for budgeting, financial administration, personnel administration, facilities management, development, technology management, and marketing and community relations. The Director provides counsel to the Library Board, proposes and implements policy under the Board's direction, supervises the work of the Library managers, and collaborates with other city agencies and community groups and members to meet the information needs of various constituencies.

An ALA-accredited Master's Degree and a minimum of five years of progressively responsible experience in library management and supervision are required; or any combination of education and experience that demonstrates the ability to successfully perform the requirements of the position. The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of library practices, management techniques, collection development, and technology applications and experience working and communicating effectively in a culturally diverse community.

Other desired characteristics include experience in successfully securing funding for programs and services and experience in planning and presenting the Library's long-term equipment, facilities, and staffing needs.

A Library Board's Practical Guide to Strategic Planning No library can continue to meet changing community needs let alone experience continuous improvement without committing to strategic planning on a regular basis. From setting a vision for the library to articulating its mission to establishing a set of goals for achieving that mission, the board can and should be involved. This practical guide walks you through getting started, the planning process, roles and responsibilities during the process, engaging the community, the environmental scan, creating a vision and mission, setting the goals, and measuring success. A Library Board's Practical Guide to Evaluating the Library Director An important way to ensure and support a highly effective library director is to commit to meaningful performance appraisals at least annually. It's surprising how often this very important duty gets short shrift or even overlooked altogether. The evaluation process should be a positive and highly productive way of ensuring that your director is meeting his or her goals and that, as a result, the library is moving forward.

It's time for us to look at it again since it was last reviewed in 2007, but I don't anticipate major changes. We may look at defining the age of an accompanying adult. At the time this was first written, HPL was part of Muskegon Public Schools, and I learned then through school channels that in the State of Michigan children age 7 and up are presumed to be able walk unattended to a neighborhood elementary school. As I remember it, that's one of the reasons that there are buses for kindergarteners, but not necessarily for elementary age students who live close to their school. This legal concept may have changed. We are a city library and have many young visitors who are unattended by adults ever. For some kids, the library is a safe place when home and the streets are not, and some kids are locked out of their homes, so our emphasis is on their behavior. The library may be the best and safest place some kids can come to on their own, they may have made a good choice to come here, but they have to behave appropriately. We have visitors from a number of different school districts, which is why we don't necessarily get too excited about teens in the library during the school day. Different high schools are closed for lots of different reasons and the teens could well be legitimatly off for the day for their district. We leave 'em be unless their behavior causes us to intervene. We definitely call the school and check out the situation for younger kids who visit the library without an adult during the school day; there can be a social work reason why they chose to come here instead of school or home. Hope this is helpful. Marty Ferriby, Director Hackley Public Library 316 W. Webster Ave. Muskegon, MI 49440 231-722-7276 We are exploring our existing policy concerning unattended children, and we want to get a feel for how other libraries handle this issue. Please let us know what your policies are regarding children coming into your library. We're concerned about age ranges and when you require adult supervision. Thanks, Steven F.

We settled on 9+ as the age when they can be unattended, and 12+ to be the "assigned chaperone" for children under 9. Here is our current Unattended Children policy. ~Responsibility for the welfare and the behavior of children using the library rests with the parent/guardian or an assigned chaperone. Though staff will always respond with care and concern, they cannot assume responsibility for children's safety and comfort when they are unattended. Staff may need to contact authorities such as the Police either to assist with the enforcement of discipline in the library or to ensure the safety of an unattended child. Young children should be attended and adequately supervised by a parent, guardian, or caregiver who is a responsible person of at least twelve years of age. Older children may use the library unattended provided they are able to maintain proper library behavior. And from our Library Rules of Conduct policy. ~YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE LIBRARY Parents or guardians are at all times responsible for the supervision of their children. Children 8 years or younger should be attended and adequately supervised by a parent, guardian, or caregiver who is a responsible person of at least twelve years of age. This is to prevent accidental injury, avoid disturbance to other Library patrons and prevent any damage to Library property. Per the Unattended Child Policy: "Staff may need to contact authorities such as the Police either to assist with the enforcement of discipline in the library or to ensure the safety of an unattended child." Children, 9 years of age or older, may use the Library unattended provided they are able to maintain proper Library behavior. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

Message-ID: Dear Listserv- On Tuesday I gave a talk here at Baldwin called "Cut the Cord" all about options for eliminating or reducing pay TV subscriptions and using free content from the library and an antenna along with paid content from streaming services in order to access great entertainment options. I also demonstrated how to use a Roku Streaming Stick, Amazon Fire TV, and an Apple TV. 55 people attended the talk - which is a lot for us for a program without a special speaker - and it got a lot of coverage in the local papers. I think this would be a relatively easy program for other librarians to present to their own communities, and it could be a very effective presentation even without the device demonstration (I used my personal devices). If anyone is interested in my PowerPoint presentation and handout I'm happy to share, please just email me off the list. Happy Spring!
