Were you able to attend last week's Michigan Library Association conference in Lansing? If so, did you "check out" the Plymouth Rocket booth that featured MAP? And did you participate in the Thursday night Poster Session for MAP, hosted by Brice at Traverse Area District Library and Maia of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources? Thank you to Ric Bailey of Plymouth Rocket, Maia and Brice for your support of the MAP program at MLA. You might have read that Michigan has a brand new state park! Watkins Lake State Park http://michiganradio.org/post/story-behind-michigans-newest-state-park was officially dedicated as the state's 103rd state park last week. This is still an undeveloped property, and as such it lacks the facilities and amenities that state park goers have come to expect. For that reason we have opted to NOT add Watkins Lake State Park to MAP at this time. As Watkins Lake State Park is developed and amenities are added, it will become part of the Michigan Activity Pass program. In the shameless self promotion department, MAP will be featured on tomorrow morning's 9:00 a.m. WGVU radio program "Tuned In to The Library of Michigan." Thank you to the Library of Michigan for the opportunity to share the good word that is MAP, live with NPR listeners not only on the west side of the state, but statewide and indeed worldwide :) via the stream. Finally, did you know that MAP has a significant birthday (one of those that end in zero) coming up? Yes, MAP will turn 10 in 2017. We have raised the program from its birth in 2007, through its infancy in the Detroit metro area, to its current, almost a teenager, statewide years. As with any tween, you could say that MAP has become a "somewhat mature" program. But since we want to do some fun stuff with MAP in 2017 to celebrate its 10th birthday, we don't want it to be too mature. Stay tuned for further and future details regarding "MAP turns 10" in 2017. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The project is supported with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Working with small groups of 6 to 10 teens, grantees will host reading and discussion events for each of three selected book titles. The Great Stories Club titles - selected by humanities scholars in consultation with librarian advisors- are chosen to resonate with reluctant readers struggling with complex issues like incarceration, violence and poverty. Eligible libraries are located within or working in partnership with organizations that serve at-risk youth, such as alternative high schools, juvenile justice organizations, homeless shelters, foster care agencies, teen parenting programs, residential treatment facilities and other nonprofit and community agencies. Up to 100 grants will be awarded. Applications will be accepted from Nov. 1 to Dec. 30, 2016. Visit https://apply.ala.org/greatstories for guidelines and to apply online. For more information and tips for submitting a successful application, join ALA staff and past Great Stories Club grant recipients for a webinar, "Apply Now: ALA's Great Stories Club," at 2 p.m. CST on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Register for the webinar. Featured titles for the 2017 "Nature vs. Nurture" theme include protagonists who are dealing with issues surrounding teen violence, bullying, and suicide. Books include "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher; "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini; and "Romeo and Juliet" (No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels), illustrated by Matt Weigle. Grantees will receive: * 11 paperback copies of each of the three book selections (10 to gift to participants; 1 for discussion leader/library collection) * Programming materials, including discussion guides, related reading lists, sample activities and promotional resources * Training opportunities, including travel and accommodations for a 1-1/2-day orientation workshop in March 2017 for library project directors who are new to the Great Stories Club. (Those who have implemented a past Great Stories Club grant in 2015-16 will receive online training, and may also apply to attend the March workshop as space allows.) Programs that support the "Nature vs. Nurture" theme must take place between March and August 2017. The current theme was developed by Laura Bates, professor of English at Indiana State University and author of "Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard" (2013, Sourcebooks). Advisory support is provided by Ally Dowds, technology librarian at the Boston Public Library, and Nosheen Hydari, AMFT, crisis therapist at Community Counseling Centers of Chicago. The grant will be administered by ALA's Public Programs Office in partnership with the Association for Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA), including the Library Services for Youth in Custody and Library Services to the Incarcerated and Detained interest groups. The Great Stories Club has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence. Funding for the March 2017 workshop has been provided by the Ford Foundation. First offered as a pilot in 2006, ALA's Great Stories Club has reached 700 libraries in 49 states and more than 30,000 young adults (ages 12 to 21). _______________ Sarah Ostman Communications Manager Public Programs Office American Library Association 312-280-5061 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

"*Let?s Talk:Runaway Prevention Curriculum *is a free, evidence-based , interactive, 14 module curriculum intended to educate young people about alternatives to running away as well as to build life skills so that youth can resolve problems without resorting to running away or unsafe behavior. " The link to it is here: http://www.1800runaway.org/runaway-prevention-curriculum-sign-up/ In addition NRS has "Kids Call" where their prevention specialist will lead a group discussion. It is "a hands-on way for youth to learn more about the issues that youth in crisis face and the solutions available to them- straight from the NRS front line team of staff and volunteers. Kids Call helps participants further grasp what runaway and homeless youth are going through, as well as familiarize themselves with NRS? services in case they, or anyone they know, end up in crisis. We?ll answer questions such as: ?How long are runaways gone? What makes someone run away? What can I do instead of running away?? the link is here: https://www.1800runaway.org/providers-educators/kids-call/ Thanks again!

I always save them as PDFs to re-print, but I have attached the .doc files so that you all are able to edit them to fit the OverDrive websites for your own libraries. Much of the info I have copied from help.overdrive.com, but I have made various sections more detailed and added screenshots of various buttons. The Android, iOS, Kindle Fire, and Kindle eInk ones are fairly detailed, whereas the MP3, iPod, and Windows 10 handouts I have not yet had the time to make more detailed, but are often good enough to get patrons going. So far, I have only put on one staff training session. I passed out the iOS handout and had staff follow along with me while I went through the instructions on an iPad connected to our projector. That way they could see the ?app view,? which seems to be how most patrons access OverDrive, verses a computer. If you have an Android or Apple device to show staff, that would probably be most helpful. The only thing I went into detail about with staff that was not on the handout was the OverDrive account. I mentioned that once you open the app and hit the ?menu? button in the top left-hand corner, you can click ?Account? to see if the patron is already logged into an account. The patron must ?authorize? their device to download ebooks. There are several ways to authorize the device; you may make an OverDrive account, authenticate via Facebook, or authenticate via library card number. Some patrons may have also authorized via an ?Adobe ID,? as this was the only way to do so years ago. I have found the process with the least issues is creating an OverDrive account. The patron should then write down the email address they provided and the password they created when they signed up for an account. They can then sign in with this same login info on other devices to be able to download the same library item to multiple devices, and keep their spot in their books. If a patron is having issues downloading multiple copies to multiple devices, and they are not sure how they authenticated their device, I often have them create (or try to sign into an existing) OverDrive account, and then login to that account on each device in the ?Account? area of the OverDrive app. I showed staff how to create an OverDrive account since this seems to be the most common question at the desk for existing users.

The study and article she authored appears in the October, 2016 issue of Computers in Libraries magazine, Encore Duet: How the Michigan eLibrary Tweaked Configuration Options to Improve the User Experience. In it she explains the goals, methodology, and results in conducting a "...user experience evaluation of our implementation of the discovery service Encore Duet 4.4. We wanted to determine how well it was serving patrons and librarians using the Michigan eLibrary (MeL; mel.org). Was the search box we designed as the gateway to our resources providing easy access to what users wanted? First, we used industry-standard evaluation methods and made recommendations based on user input. Then we worked with the vendor, applied changes to the configuration options, and created custom JavaScript to improve our users' experience." We invite you to read the article for an interesting behind-the-scenes look at evaluating and configuring MeL. Sonya will also be presenting her findings during a poster session at this year's Library Information Technology Association (LITA) conference in Ft. Worth later this month. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit http://mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Registration is now open for the next LM/MCLS webinar.

Specifically, I am interested in more information on the following situations as they pertain to district libraries in Michigan: 1. Where a newly-formed district library received the transfer of a deed to the library property directly from a municipality and were there any conditions? 2. Where the district library and a local community created a new joint municipal authority which was then granted the library building and property. 3. Where the district library and one or more municipalities created a joint authority which then issued bonds for a construction project. Please describe whether the creation of this new authority was subject to a successful bond election and the year, amount and repayment conditions of the bond. Please contact me directly and then I will be most happy to report back the results of the research to the list later this month.

Kids InfoBits is designed for beginning researchers grades K-5 and covers curriculum related and age appropriate content. Gale partnered with Visual Learning Systems, an educational science publisher ... to provide high quality, visual-based content that instructs, challenges, and inspires young learners. 1. Nearly 600 high-quality educational videos on concepts essential to STEM learning have been added to Kids InfoBits. Each is approximately 1-3 minutes in length, and can be easily incorporated into Primary and Elementary classroom instruction. Some even pose critical thinking questions for the learner to contemplate. Videos intended for grades K-2 feature: magnets, nature, the sun, water, and simple machines. Videos intended for grades 3-5 include: energy, planet earth, worms, plants, and the wheel and axle. After performing a search, available videos are shown under Content Types 2. In response to user feedback, the overall default font size has been increased and a feature to further increase font size for all documents in Kids InfoBits has been added. Once a document has been selected and is displayed, an icon will appear in the right corner and offer the option of changing the font size. The change will remain in effect for the session. Kids InfoBits features integrated G Suite for Education and Microsoft Office 365 tools. After authentication, users can sign in with their Google or Microsoft account credentials to access Google Drive, Docs and Classroom, in addition to Microsoft OneDrive and OneNote.

We've had fire fighters demonstrate how to use a fire extinguisher, our safety officer (who's our amazing facilities manager) do his usual bloodborne pathogens presentation, and people from community mental health talk about services. Much of the time is spent catching up on new policies or procedures. Because we're spread out all over the county, it's a good time for staff to catch up and we do allow time for that. Everyone gives a report on what's going on at each branch, and department heads and administrators report too. This year at lunch we had a tai chi break. Very cool. Last year we did have a "staff day half day" in June because there were major IT things going on and we needed more time than the hour that we allow for staff meetings. Budget is $500 for the day. Lunch and breaks are paid for out of that figure, as well as any fees for presenters. melissa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna Curtis" To: michlib-l at mcls.org Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2016 10:33:46 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Staff Training Days Good Morning, I am trying to collect information for my Board on the number of libraries that conduct some sort of staff training/in-service day.

If you click on your library's name or the number, you'll get a the itemized list of every title matching the # of circulations. You can also choose "Create Worksheet" to get a downloadable spreadsheet (you can open .csv files in Excel or another spreadsheet program) with the same data Woodlands Downloadable Library Collection as a whole: Start here: https://marketplace.overdrive.com/Reports, then choose Purchased Titles (first option in top right box). Once you're in there, choose Run New Report Then you can specify your date range (if you're looking for the collection as a whole, I always make the start date 1/1/2009) and then your format. If you don't narrow down format you get the total for both eAudio & eBooks mashed together. You'll have to run it separately for each format.

I tried it, and I see at the top of the Purchased Titles report a note: " This report does not display the total number of units or licenses currently in your collection.

The Title Status and Usage report also works, and you use that same "In collection" status when running it. We didn't like it as much since you have to add all the different types ebooks together (e.g. metered by use, metered by time, one copy/one use, etc) in order to get your total. Doing that is laborious and the Purchased Titles just gave a nice quick number that could be plugged in.

I didn't realize that there is a total count of holdings in the upper corner of the screen on the Title Usage report so I am glad that I asked, and most likely I will use this report going forward to get the most accurate info. Having said that, it does sound like the Purchased Titles report still works pretty well, but it won't provide the total count of licenses that some libraries wanted. I'm pasting Sarah's more detailed response to me below, but I'm not sure if the embedded image will come through on the listserv. ********************* Hi Shawn, I believe this message is due to the fact that libraries were looking for exact license counts which unfortunately are not in the Purchased Titles report. I do admit that we have fine-tuned the Title Status and Usage report when it comes to a more accurate number for the overall title count. There is an easy way to use this report as well thankfully! When running for the usual settings, instead of adding everything up as you may have done previously, please look in the upper right hand corner of the report. This will be your overall count number. In this case, I ran for all time and got 7,393, which is the same number you would get from running a blank advance search on the new site. When running Purchased titles, the overall title count comes out to 7,354 which is a bit lower, but still close! I am not sure why there is a 40 title discrepancy, it may be due to the lending model type or a status in the collection. We do have libraries that use both reports for what they need and I will let our Marketplace Team know that you find the Purchased titles report easier to use. I apologize for this confusion, but I am hoping I can make it as easy as I can for finding what you need! Please let me know if I can help with anything else today or answer any other questions.

ALSC?s core purpose is creating a better future for children through libraries. ALSC advances that purpose through the core values of: collaboration, excellence, inclusiveness, innovation, integrity and respect, leadership and responsiveness. This booklist was created to share the message of creating unity, acting with kindness toward others, and promoting peace. In an effort to share this list as quickly as possible, ALSC has chosen to keep the initial formatting simple. Later versions of the booklist will be customizable to encourage libraries to include their own contact information prior to printing. ALSC is committed to creating a better future for children through libraries and encourages parents and caregivers to speak with their local librarians for additional books and other helpful resources.

Go to: www.michigan.gov/proudMIeducator today. [cid:image002.png at 01D20444.B08921B0] Dear ALSC Board, Just a quick message to let you know we published a new booklist today titled, ?Unity. Kindness. Peace.? to help members and parents find books to help find positive ways to have conversations with children asking difficult questions about the election and also post-election incidents (http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2016/11/unity-kindness-peace-new-booklist-alsc). The list is currently in a very a simple format, a trade-off for timeliness, but the list will be designed into a nicely formatted downloadable in the coming days. Just yesterday, a video surfaced of a group of middle school children taunting Latino students. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2016/11/10/royal-oak-students-chant-build-wall-cafeteria/93581592/ and there other documented divisive accounts. As a reminder, as a 501c3 organization we are completely prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign for or against a candidate for local, state or federal office. However, as an organization, we can make a statement about the important work that our members do in support of ALL children and families, especially when they need a safe place. Now more than ever, we need to come together, roll up our sleeves, dig-in and advocate, advocate, and advocate some more about the amazing library service we provide in order to create a better future for all children. This will always happen here at the national level with ALSC, but in the coming days we must strengthen and build our network to become even more powerful Everyday Advocates working at local and state levels. I would like to thank the Angela Hubbard for working overtime to get the list and press release out before the end of this week, the Quicklists co-chairs Stephanie Bange and Rachel Fryd for turning around a list of titles overnight, ALA Public Awareness Office who made this a priority, and Laura Schulte-Cooper for her contributions. Angela is consulting with the Public Awareness committee to have them introduce this as a blog post as soon as possible. We would appreciate your help in spreading the word to colleagues about the availability of the list. We hope it can be a useful resource for members, parents and caregivers.

The Dollar General Afterschool Literacy Award is $10,000 for an outstanding program that is focused on helping youth build literacies skills?this is an award for work that has already been done, not a grant to fund an idea for a future project. Having been a grant proposal reviewer for the past two years for this, I can share two things: 1) hardly any libraries apply and 2) the place where applicants falter is in failing to show impact. Anecdotal stories about little Maria doing better in school doesn?t cut it. The reviewers want to see data, like 80% of the youth who participated in the program indicated that their confidence in reading and writing increased after participating in the program. Another particular issue applicants have is that their literacy activities are not engaging youth in meaningful ways?they focus instead on passive activities, like skill drills, worksheets, learning vocabulary, test taking, etc. Winning applicants build youth empowerment and ownership into their programs. They allow for peer-to-peer learning, they let youth choose the reading materials they want to explore, they tie reading & writing together in project-based activities that appeal to the individual interests of youth, etc. This is where libraries can really shine, as youth participation and interest-driven learning is already a core principle in what they do. Winning applicants also generally are good at leveraging community experts and partnerships. Applications are due Dec. 16. ? The National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards is $10,000 for an outstanding program that promotes the arts and humanities in some way among youth?this is an award for work that has already been done, not a grant to fund an idea for a future project. I?ve also been a grant reviewer for this award, and applicants have the same problem as with the literacy award?they fail to demonstrate clear and compelling impact, don?t create in ways for youth to build ownership of the program, and don?t engage families or community partners. Applications are due Feb. 5. ? YALSA has two mini-grants for summer learning programs. These are $1,000 each to fund an idea that a library has for a summer learning project. Applications are due Jan. 1. One grant is to fund the purchase of resources or services, and the other is a stipend that libraries can use to hire teens to work in the library over the summer. Winning applicants have clear goals/outcomes identified, focus on interest-based learning, leverage community experts and partners, and demonstrate the best use of funds?for example, they get local businesses to donate food and/or prizes, so that the $1,000 can be used to directly support youth learning or development.

The Library of Michigan is host for this national program from the Library of Congress. LAL is a reading-writing contest that invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to write letters to authors of books that have changed their lives. This program gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on a book. As readers, they come to understand how literature is more than assignment, but also a life changing experience. Children and teens can participate on their own or as part of a library or class project. The 2017 letters will be due in two waves. Level III entries (Grades 9-12) have a deadline of December 2, 2016, and Level I and II entries (Grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 9, 2017. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2017. You can find more information about the national program at www.read.gov/letters/ and the Michigan program at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices. You will find the 2017 flyer and entry form here: http://www.read.gov/documents/LAL16-Guidelines.pdf. Please let me know if you have any questions about the program. A panel of volunteer judges will select state finalists to be sent to the national level.

In 2013 we had Matt Faulkner speak at our first annual Young Authors' Festival. He is both an illustrator and author, and is a phenomenal speaker. We have booked him again for next fall, along with his wife Kris Remenar; her first children's book, "Groundhog's Dilemma," was published last year and illustrated by Matt.. I contacted him directly without going through an agent. Last year we had Gary Schmidt as our speaker. His books tend to be middle school to YA. He was also very engaging and interesting. We went through his agent, Hayley Gonnason at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Hayley.Gonnason at hmhco.com Toni Buzzeo was also a wonderful speaker for us in 2104. We booked her directly. This last week-end, Christopher Paul Curtis spoke at our festival and everyone loved him. Our bookstore ran out of books to sell. 8-( We booked him directly. Just a warning that honorariums can be high for those who have won major awards/honors. Of the authors we have booked, Matt was the most reasonable. Barbara Kriigel Assoc.

I am attaching both my results and the results from Matt Church in April 2015. Also, Holly Hentz from Hamburg Township sent her credit card policy along with her answers, so I thought I would include it also. It looks like Square is getting more and more popular based on the results of both surveys. My library will be comparing Square to another credit card service from a company we already deal with and then decide between the two services. Let me know if you have any questions.

I don't know who Rick Broida is, but apparently he resides in one of the 64 communities whose library is a member of the TLN Zinio group. I plan to drop him a line to compliment him on the article. Feel free to share this article with your patrons, as it is essentially a source of free, positive advertising for Zinio For Libraries. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-check-out-free-zinio-digital-magazines-from-your-library/ Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l at mcls.org http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l From sbowers at wayne.edu Wed Nov 16 09:46:43 2016 From: sbowers at wayne.edu (Steven Bowers) Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 14:46:43 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Fw: ALA News for November 15, 2016 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: FYI ________________________________ From: alacro-l-request at lists.ala.org on behalf of Steve Zalusky Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 6:03 PM To: Steve Zalusky Cc: 'alanews at lists.ala.org'; 'ala-allstaff at lists.ala.org'; 'prtalk at lists.ala.org'; 'alacro-l at lists.ala.org' Subject: [alacro-l] ALA News for November 15, 2016 ALA News for November 15, 2016 ALA President Julie Todaro releases statement on libraries, the association, diversity and inclusion http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2016/11/ala-president-julie-todaro-releases-statement-libraries-association-diversity ALA offers expertise, resources to incoming administration and Congress http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2016/11/ala-offers-expertise-resources-incoming-administration-and-congress PLA President Felton Thomas Jr. releases statement on public libraries and inclusiveness http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2016/11/pla-president-felton-thomas-jr-releases-statement-public-libraries-and Unity.

Message-ID: Greetings! The Public Library Association (PLA) is offering a FREE webinar on Family Engagement on December 6th! See below for detail. Tuesday, 12/6/2016 * 1:00 PM-2:00 PM (Eastern) Are you interested in increasing your outreach to families? Are you wondering how you might elevate family voice in the work that you do? Are you thinking about how to develop stronger community partnerships in support of families? If so, then this webinar will benefit you. In their recent report Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement, Harvard Family Research Project and the Public Library Association outlined five important processes that build successful family engagement pathways: * Reach out, * Raise up, * Reinforce, * Relate, and * Reimagine. This webinar will explore how these practices are being implemented in early childhood programs and libraries, and offer practical ideas that you can use to build family engagement pathways in the learning setting you work in.

View as a web page. [ALA Membership] Dear Members: Thank you for your candid responses to our press releases re: ALA's Libraries Bolster Opportunities. We are sorry that these communications created confusion and anger regarding our Association's position on safeguarding and promoting its commitment to our core values including diversity, equity and inclusion. We understand that content from these press releases, including the 11/18/16 release that was posted in error, was interpreted as capitulating to and normalizing the incoming administration. ALA administration and leadership issues an apology to all who were negatively affected by these communications. Our intent was to highlight the invaluable role that librarians and library workers play within our communities as infrastructure for resources and services, and especially where we provide unique services to special populations, such as immigrants and veterans. Yet, our core values as an association are clear-free access, intellectual freedom, privacy and confidentiality. We will stand for these values unwaveringly, now and into the future. Our work with any administration must always first be in line with these values. And it is clear that many of these values are at odds with messaging or positions taken by the incoming administration. Please know that we stand by our members. With this in mind, the ALA is committed to providing a platform where you can share your ideas and concerns. We have reached out to key ALA staff and have asked for an opportunity for people to comment with their thoughts, ideas, and feedback. The most accessible location for this to happen is on the AmericanLibraries.com blog The Scoop. Please feel free to engage with us there. The ALA is very concerned about the role of our nation's libraries under this new administration, both at the legislative level as well as at the state and local level. That concern, however, should never eclipse our commitment to our members, to defending our core values and advancing our policy positions. We have a great deal of work ahead of us as we work to abolish intolerance and cultural invisibility, and stand up for all the members of our communities, as we promote understanding and inclusion through our efforts. We believe that we all must work so that our voices are heard at the federal, state, and local government levels, and so we can continue to advance the issues and core values that matter to our members. Please know that we feel-as does ALA administration and leadership-that our work with any governmental entity or individual(s) should never come at the cost of our core values as an organization. We can promise you that this will not change. We are all concerned about the future. Please share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback in the comments section of The Scoop. We need to hear from you now more than ever as we continue our work on behalf of our constituents, libraries and all librarians and library workers. Beginning Monday morning, the ALA Executive Board will discuss these issues and our processes and we will use your comments to help guide us in our discussions and planning as we work to earn back the trust of our members and prepare for the work ahead during this new administration. Thank you again for your patience. Sincerely, Dr. Julie Todaro, ALA President, and the ALA Executive Board American Library Association, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611 www.ala.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was told it had to be a week before the meeting, but that came from a group that said we violated the OMA because we didn't post notice of a special meeting on a telephone pole, so...

This Month's Wisdom... "Planning a storytime and you need some additional ideas? Go to the "Everything Preschool" theme site. Themes are listed alphabetically. For example, for "Pets" click on "P" and then pets. Then you can find suggested songs, art ideas and games. They also list books, but I think we can do better picks here than what they have listed!" ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Partnering with Other Caregivers in the Community [group] One of the workshops in the Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) Manual is a workshop to collaborate with community partners to help children get ready to read. The workshop lasts around 45-50 minutes and includes topics such as: research on early literacy; the importance of early literacy skills; the important role caregivers and parents play; the five practices; the importance of a child's home environment; and how the public library can help. Here are just a few of the groups you can attempt to reach with the importance of early literacy. 1. Preschools - (both school-run and faith-based) commercial preschools and preschools at colleges and universities. 2. Public schools that have preschool programs 3. Head Start and Early Start programs 4. Healthcare providers, particularly those who already participate in the national Reach Out And Read Project 5. County public health agencies 6. Local chapters of or affiliates of the National Association for the Education of Young Children 7. Human services agencies and shelters 8. Regional or state-wide early literacy coalitions or initiatives such as Success by 6, the Family Reading Partnership, Parent-Child Home Programs etc. 9. Teen parents at vocational or high schools 10. Families at homeless centers 11. Parents attending WIC (women, infant and children) centers 12. Families at migrant camps 13. Families in housing projects or low-income housing 14. Caregivers at adult literacy classes 15. Foster Parent Groups In addition to handouts provided in the ECRR manual, here is another tip sheet you might wish to share: "Do's To Promote Literacy Experiences" * Read Aloud to Children On a Daily Basis * Read to Children for Enjoyment - Not to Teach Them to Read or to Learn Phonics * Do Not Use Worksheets or Ditto Sheets * Allow Children to Ask Questions About Books You Have Read * Talk About the Books You Have Read * Read Different Types of Stories * Use Wordless Books and Have Children Tell the Story Through the Pictures * Use Literature Extensions Whenever Possible * Have a Variety of Writing Materials * Have Books For Children to Look at During Free Times New Book of the Month ________________________________ [5 Little Ducks]Five Little Ducks. Denise Fleming. Beach Lane, 2016. ISBN:978-1-4814-2422-6. $17.99. It is exciting to see a new book by author/illustrator Denise Fleming, as her books are so perfect for very young children. Her paper-making technique, pulp painting, lends itself well to the large and bright child-appealing illustrations found here. The familiar song, "Five Little Ducks," is presented with a few twists, but the traditional song would make a great extension after sharing this version. In addition, days of the week are introduced for young children to learn. And the back matter is excellent. There is much to discover with facts presented about the characters seen in the book: the mallard duck family; green frogs, flying squirrels; wild turkeys, box turtles, pigs and a little girl named Anna who is photo bombed by a squirrel. And then, there is a third way to use this book, as children are asked to go back through the story and find dragonflies, whirligig beetles, flies, a rabbit, a deer, sheep, a horse, crows, cows, squirrels, a dog, and a cat and kittens. Regarding the ECRR five early literacy practices, this book works well for all five --- to child participation (talking), singing, reading (again and again) playing (acting out the story) and writing (drawing a favorite character from the book as one example.) This is must purchase for every library! ________________________________ Resource Books to Share with Early Childhood Educators [Muffin Man]Many libraries have a "parent/teacher" section with useful resource books that can be borrowed by early childhood educators. Even if you do not have such a section, it would be great if you could have useful resource books for ECE teachers to borrow (and you will love them too, as they will help with programming.) Some of my favorites, that are popular with ECE teachers, have been written by consultant Pam Schiller. Here are a few of her books that every library should consider for purchase: * And the Cow Jumped Over the Moon: Over 650 Activities to Teach Toddlers Using Familiar Rhymes and Songs * Do You Know the Muffin Man? Literacy Activities Using Favorite Rhymes and Songs. * Where is Thumbkin? 500 Activities to Use with Songs You Already Know * The complete Resource Book for Infants: Over 700 Experiences for Children from Birth to 18 Months * The Complete Resource Book for Toddlers and Twos: Over 2000 Experiences and Ideas * The Complete Resource Book for Preschoolers: An Early Childhood Curriculum with Over 2000 Activities and Ideas * The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants * The Bilingual Book of Rhymes, Songs, Stories and Fingerplays: Over 450 Spanish/English Selections ________________________________ Websites of the Month [read]The recommended "New Book" in the above article was written and illustrated by Denise Fleming. At her web site you can find some wonderful colorful posters about reading, librarians, and how she does her pulp painting. Each poster is a PDF and you can download them in color in either an 8 ? x 11 size OR 13 x 17. To see these posters, go to: http://www.denisefleming.com/pages/posters/posters-main.html Planning a storytime and you need some additional ideas? Go to the "Everything Preschool" theme site. Themes are listed alphabetically. For example, for "Pets" click on "P" and then pets. Then you can find suggested songs, art ideas and games. They also list books, but I think we can do better picks here than what they have listed! So you have your theme for storytime and book ideas. How about songs? We know from ECRR the importance of using several songs in a storytime program. Go to http://www.kididdles.com/, click on "All Songs" for hundreds of song ideas, listed alphabetically. Lyrics are given, but many songs have music notes after their title, which means you can also hear the song sung in case you forgot or don't know the tune. Many of us use Pinterest for program ideas. If you want a one-stop place for over 1,000 open-ended art ideas (a fun end to a preschool storytime) follow this link to a great board on Pinterest. Reflections... ________________________________ [toddler]Doing Outreach When You Have No Time to Do Outreach I have worked in all sizes of public libraries, and I did in reverse order for some reason. I started at a large city system and worked my way up to Head of the Children's Room. Then, I moved to a medium-size city system and was Children's Coordinator for the Main Library and several branches. My next move was to a small town library were I headed the children's section and was Assistant Director. I finally ended up at the largest regional system in Ohio as the Children's Specialist. At each location, there were many of the same responsibilities in programming- from storytimes to summer reading etc. What was entirely different at each site was what I was able to do in terms of outreach to early childhood educators and those who work with young children. It was frustrating to know what you should be doing, but were unable to because of time or staffing constraints. So, let's just say that doing outreach is vitally important if there is any way you can do it. But let's reflect on what you might do if going outside of the building is next to impossible. 1. Assemble thematic storytime kits that can be requested and picked up at the library for special loan (some libraries allow a longer loan period). 2. House specialized collections at Child-Care headquarters for teachers to check out. 3. Provide monthly/quarterly newsletters developed especially for teachers of young children - mention new books at your library that would be great for story sharing. Also, cover programs you are offering for young children. 4. Model to ECE's how to do a storytime when groups visit including having children participate in at least one story. 5. Provide special Teacher Resource Collections. 6. Provide an annual workshop on topics of literacy, storytelling etc. ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

Generally, our book club checks them out since we purchase each month's title and then have six copies to distribute. We have patrons sign a policy agreement when they first check out an ereader, then make a note in their account that it has been signed and a copy given to them. We keep originals in a binder. Attached is the policy created for this purpose. If anyone would like information about how we set up our Nooks for circulation, I'd be happy to share.

Saline District Library had an excellent presentation from Carol Waarala, MSW, LMSW, and Certified Specialist in Aging & Dementia in October, and she's returning in December for a follow-up presentation. We had a great turnout in October, and everyone commented that the presentation was highly informative and that she was a very personable presenter, sharing many stories of her experience both as a social worker and as a family caregiver for who father, who had Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. Carol offers a wide array of presentations, which you can read about at her website: https://seekingpositivepathways.com/ . We highly recommend her! (And yes, if you haven't already guessed from the last name, this is my mother. Sure, I'm a bit biased -- but I've also met plenty of people who have seen my last name and asked, "Any relationship to Carol Waarala? I saw her present on Alzheimer's and she was fantastic!")

Message-ID: Greetings, Please forgive the cross posting - I want to share this as widely as possible, and this may be the closest we get in libraryland to any sort of Cyber Monday sale! As you may know, the minimum wage rate in Michigan is increasing on January 1, 2017 to $8.90 per hour. The Michigan Chamber has received the final version of the 2017 Michigan Minimum Wage and Overtime poster, so the Woodlands Library Cooperative is accepting orders for the 2017 poster sets. These sets also contain the two mandatory federal updates that went into effect in August 2016 to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) notices. If you are interested in taking advantage of this group purchase, each poster set is $24 and includes updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. This will let you tell the many other vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal and keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your poster here: https://goo.gl/forms/YRsyaM3dCOKKi1tg2 - *Deadline is Friday, December 16, 2016*. We'll ship posters and invoices out to you as soon as we receive them. kate -- Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director Woodlands Library Cooperative 517-629-9469 586-801-0725 - cell/text http://woodlands.lib.mi.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Lockhart Visits Baldwin Library Message-ID: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Rebekah Craft, Baldwin Public Library Phone: 248-554-4682 Email: rebekah.craft at baldwinlib.org *Author E. Lockhart Visits Baldwin Library* BIRMINGHAM, MI (November 28, 2016) ? Hear bestselling young adult author E. Lockhart speak at The Community House on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:00 p.m. E. Lockhart, the pen name of Emily Jenkins, is the author of popular books for children and teens, including *We Were Liars*, *The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks,* and the Ruby Oliver quartet. Her young adult books are smart, socially-conscious, and appeal to both teens and adults. *We Were Liars*, which has been published in 33 countries, won the Goodreads Choice Award and was Amazon's #1 Young Adult novel of 2014.* The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks* won a Michael L. Printz Honor Award and was a National Book Award finalist. E. Lockhart grew up in Cambridge, MA and Seattle, WA and attended Vassar. She received her Ph.D. in English Literature from Columbia University and currently teaches Writing for Children at Hamline University?s low-residency MFA program. Lockhart said, ?I'm going to be talking about young adult fiction, censorship and book banning, bibliotherapy, my own personal history, and the beauties of escapist literature. I look forward to meeting readers?it?s one of the nicest parts of being an author.? While Baldwin frequently hosts authors to visit and speak about their books, writing process, and inspiration, this is the first time the Library has hosted a nationally acclaimed young adult author. ?Lockhart?s book* We Were Liars *was published in 2014 and continues to be the most popular teen book here at Baldwin. I am very excited and honored that E. Lockhart has agreed to come to Birmingham,? said Teen Librarian Elisabeth Phou, who coordinated the special event. In addition to Lockhart?s visit on December 7, the Library?s monthly teen book club, Pizza and Pages, for students ages 13 to 18, will be discussing *We Were Liars* on December 1 at 7:00 p.m. Due to popular demand, tickets are required for E. Lockhart's appearance. To reserve tickets, register by calling 248-554-4650 or visiting Baldwin Public Library's Adult Services Desk. At the event, Oak Park bookseller Book Beat will be on hand to provide books for purchase and signing. The Baldwin Public Library is located in downtown Birmingham at 300 W. Merrill Street. The Library?s hours are 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.

How would we accommodate and Amish resident of the SDL wanting a library card since they don't have photo IDs, and I learned that they also do not sign documents since their word is their bond. (I'm also going to talk to the banks because I can't imagine they can open an account without proper ID and signature). But my question is for any libraries that have Amish patrons, and did you require a signature and some ID? If not, how did you handle it? Do you have a written policy we can see?
