October 11 Engaging Reluctant Middle Grade Readers (School Library Journal) At our upcoming webcast, industry experts will offer a sneak peek at some titles from Andrews McMeel, Black Rabbit Books and Listening Library. From graphic novels to audiobooks and everything in between, these selections are guaranteed to get patrons revved up about reading. October 13 Project Outcome: Making Sense of Survey Results (Public Library Association) The first in a series of three webinars designed to help you turn your Project Outcome results into action. This webinar focuses on developing and understanding how to parse your survey results and develop strategies for potential uses. Deeply engaging with your data is a key first step; later webinars will address how to communicate clearly about data, and use your data for program improvement, advocacy and planning. Participants will also hear from a Project Outcome library about their strategies and challenges in framing survey results. October 19 Using Free and Inexpensive Technology to Transition Your Library to a Learning Commons (AASL) The Learning Commons model cannot be thought of as only the physical hub for collaborative learning. It also has to incorporate an outreach model. Free and inexpensive technologies, such as social media, self-created presentations and short videos, email boards, etc., facilitate this outreach to the entire school community of students, faculty and administration. October 26 Anatomy of an Annual Appeal: Create Your Compelling Fundraising Offer (4Good) Writing a compelling fundraising letter can be tricky.

In this webinar you'll learn the art of taking your appeal from run of the mill to out of the ballpark. From anesthetizing to astounding. From colorless to captivating. Your appeal letter should be an "offer" to join you in something amazing and transformative. Whether you're an old pro and just want some new tips, or you're writing your appeal letter for the first time, you'll find killer strategies and tried-and-true tactics to get your appeal to the next level.

Although libraries have only recently finished summer programming this year, many of us are reviewing and assessing our successes (and challenges!) from this summer and are busy planning for next year. The Urban Libraries Council has developed a new toolkit in partnership with the National Summer Learning Association, as part of an initiative supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This brand new resource is designed to help libraries explore ways to expand summer reading and learning, and includes examples of successful summer learning models in libraries with links to many additional resources. Here is the link to this wonderful online resource: Libraries at the Center of Summer Learning and Fun: An Online Toolkit to Expand from Summer Reading to Summer Learning. Be sure to check it out! On behalf of the ALSC Summer Reading and Learning Task Force, I wanted to let you know that we are looking at ways ALSC can support members in this important work. Many of you shared your thoughts and ideas earlier this year in the online Community Forum (archived here: http://www.ala.org/alsc/community-forums - be sure to log in) and in the Networking Uncommons session at ALA Annual in June. The Task Force's work is continuing and we welcome your ideas around how ALSC can best support you in your summer and out-of-school-time programming. Feel free to contact me at caputoc at freelibrary.org with your suggestions and ideas. Wishing you much success with the children and families you serve!

It is a huge savings money wise for our patrons as we only charge the cost of a copy to do it (.20 cents per page). We have a large summer worker population and this has helped them tremendously. We still do the scanning but patrons input the email address that they want the document to go to.

Hello all, Has anybody ever had a patron, or group of patrons, who have complained or challenged the library about a Halloween themed event? I am currently planning a small Halloween themed story time and craft event here. However, I have a group of patrons, who have mentioned that their children are not allowed to read some of the fantasy books we have in the library because they are encouraging thoughts about ghosts, magic, and the supernatural. While they have not challenged the books, I am concerned that they might complain or challenge the event. I was just wondering if any other libraries have had this come up. Any help is appreciated! Thank you! Angela Badke Library Director Ojibwa Community Library 409 Superior Ave. Baraga, MI 49908 906-353-8163 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Then read on for an exciting announcement of a new grant from OCLC! Applications are now being accepted for the Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces grant. A smart space is one that fosters social connections allowing a community to discover active learning opportunities in their library. Fifteen small public libraries (serving communities with fewer than 25,000 people) will be selected to receive instructional and material support to engage their communities in a space transformation process that supports active learning at the library. Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces is a two year project funded by a National Leadership Grant from Institute of Museum and Library Services. Selected libraries will participate in an online orientation and community of practice facilitated by WebJunction, OCLC's public library program. They will work with each other and their communities to reimagine and reconfigure their library spaces as hubs of active learning and engagement. Learn more about the grant here including requirements and expected time commitments. Get your imagination caps on because applications are due Oct. 21st!

There are a few tweaks I might consider for the questions next time.the question about accessing the online account was missed by all who took it. But the details in the word document requirements were very telling as to whether the applicant could follow directions. We allowed 20 minutes for this test. We also did a simple filing test using old card catalog cards, and allowed 30 minutes for that part. This was effective for our needs. Feel free to use whatever you find helpful!

Kumasi, has been selected by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign iSchool's faculty to be a research fellow for the 2016-2018 academic years. Research fellows are chosen because their work is relevant to the interests of the School's faculty and students. Kumasi will give at least one lecture during her appointment. "I'm honored to serve as a research fellow for the iSchool. I look forward to sharing my ideas and inquiries, particularly as they relate to educational inequities in school libraries. We are at a critical juncture in our nation with regard to human and civil rights concerns, especially among minoritized groups. Illinois is a great place for me to share my work in this area, as I know many Illinois faculty who are deeply committed to issues of social justice," said Kumasi. Kumasi's research interests focus on issues of literacy, equity, and diversity, particularly occurring in urban educational environments and spanning K-12 and graduate school contexts. Her publications include book chapters and journal articles in the Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults, School Libraries Worldwide, School Library Media Research, and Urban Library Journal, among others. She teaches in the areas of school library media, urban librarianship, multicultural services and resources, and research methods. Congratulations Dr. Kumasi! Stephen T.

My Board would like to see the items still in use in some way. We offered them in a sale to patrons and only sold 5 of several hundred... We are now looking to off-load the remainder of the collection. I even have a Board member willing to drive the collection to its new home. This size donation would likely overwhelm our local Salvation Army and/or Goodwill stores. I'm contacting our local schools as well, but they are likely to only be interested in a small selection of what we have. Does anyone know of an organization, library, school, or other place that would be happy to inherit a tape collection? Please reply off-list. Thanks!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Ed (and Michlib-l), We're having one on Saturday, October 15th (just 9 days away!) and I have 25 authors signed up to participate. I view it as giving an "equal playing field" showcase to local authors, who may not be able to sustain a solo event, and as fostering connections between authors. When I did them at Springfield Township I think the authors may have had more fun than the patrons - they made a lot of good connections with other writers. If this goes well here at Loutit, I'll consider doing them twice a year (spring and fall) since we have so many writers in the area.

Momentum is high as the local paper is giving our building project front page coverage. We need a bond vote to fund the building. Alas, Lapeer County has no general elections in 2017. Some of us hate the thought of waiting almost two years for a vote. We cover twelve townships and a city so a special election would not be cheap. Has any of you ever held a special election for a bond vote to fund a new building? Was there negative feedback? Did the vote go in your favor? Thanks so much for your feedback. melissa -- Melissa A.

Paducah is an excellent place to become your home. It boasts a thriving arts and entertainment community-theaters and museums to parks and sporting events, it has a smorgasbord of offerings.

An adequate strategic plan will allow librarians and staff to work as a team, under a patron-centered philosophy, taking the maximum advantage of existing talent, budget, space, and technological resources. A well-developed strategic plan is an indispensable tool for effective decision making in the workplace and will promote pro-active initiatives instead of a reactive attitude towards service implementation. Librarians will learn how to develop a strategic plan based on the results of the analysis of the library?s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. They will learn what these are and how to decide the library?s future based on this analysis (environmental scanning). They will learn how to prioritize their time, energy, talents, and resources to maximize the library?s impact on their community.

"But I'm very grateful in many ways... the marriage I had was very strong. My husband accepted his diagnosis - rather than say, "Why me?" he said, "Why not me?" and I'm grateful we had a chance to say goodbye. I've interviewed so many widows who never had that chance."

Widowed at a young age, she can speak from experience on the unique and unforeseen challenges of widowhood. She has recently completed work in Kenya. A Widow's Guide to Healing offers a much-needed blueprint for grieving widows to face the often, overwhelming challenges of their new reality. Written for those grappling with their first five years of widowhood, this book gently and clearly guides readers through the pain and problems to a happier, healthier, and more hopeful future.

I'm helping out my hometown school with trying to find an inexpensive circulation software solution for their media center. Currently they are on Follett, but are being asked to move to Destiny, which is a bit out of their price range (however, they do love the Follett system). Can anyone recommend anything in the way of a cheaper replacement or even one that has no annual fees for upkeep if you purchase up front? They are a smaller school with approximately 350 students total all housed in one building. Thanks in advance!

Tuesday, October 12, 2016. Kalamazoo Public Library is pleased to announce the title for Reading Together 2017: Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White by bestselling author, basketball legend, and cultural commentator ? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Mr. Abdul-Jabbar will visit Kalamazoo for a Meet the Author event at Miller Auditorium on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 7 pm. 2017 marks the 15th Anniversary of Reading Together. To commemorate this occasion, KPL wanted to choose a book that addresses important yet divisive issues facing not only our community but the whole country. Writings on the Wall came to the attention of the selection committee immediately upon its release in August and quickly became the obvious choice, not only for the breadth of its content but also for the notoriety of its author. Honed from his life experience both on and off the basketball court, observations and conversations in his everyday life, Abdul-Jabbar explores American politics, racism, religion, gender issues, classism, the news media and much more. Copies will be available for check out at all Kalamazoo Public Library locations beginning November 1. The 2017 Reading Together program will feature Kareem Abdul-Jabbar speaking about his book in an interview format, live, at Miller Auditorium on Tuesday, March 14, at 7 pm, followed by Q&A and book signing. Books will be sold at the event by local, independent bookstore, Michigan News Agency. This event is free and open to the public. Throughout the month of March and into April, Reading Together will feature several programs that explore the concepts and themes presented in Abdul-Jabbar?s work, with an opportunity for engaging discussion and revelation. Information about the 2017 Reading Together program will be posted readingtogether.us as dates and programs are confirmed. The purpose of Reading Together is to build a stronger community with deeper connections through the common experience of reading the same book and exploring its themes together. When we do that, we engage and learn, not only about ourselves, but also more importantly about each other and the world around us. By experiencing the same book, hearing the author of that work speak right here in Kalamazoo, and delving deeper into the books? themes, we are able to embrace our similarities and differences from a common point of reference. Very simply, when we read together, we grow together. About Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Since retiring from professional basketball as the NBA's all-time leading scorer, six-time MVP, and Hall of Fame inductee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has become a lauded observer of culture and society, a New York Times bestselling author, and a regular contributor to The Washington Post, TIME magazine and TIME.com. He now brings that keen insight to the fore in Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White, his most incisive and important work of non-fiction in years. He uses his unique blend of erudition, street smarts and authentic experience in essays on the country's seemingly irreconcilable partisan divide - both racial and political, parenthood, and his own experiences as an athlete, African-American, and a Muslim. The book is not just a collection of expositions; he also offers keen assessments of and solutions to problems such as racism in sports while speaking candidly about his experiences on the court and off. Timed for publication as the nation debates whom to send to the White House, the combination of plain talk on issues, life lessons, and personal stories places Writings on the Wall squarely in the middle of the conversation, as many of Abdul-Jabbar's topics are at the top of the national agenda. Whether it is sparring with Donald Trump, within the pages of TIME magazine, or full-length features in the The New York Times Magazine, writers, critics, and readers have come to agree on what The Washington Post observed: Abdul-Jabbar "has become a vital, dynamic and unorthodox cultural voice."

The web is moving from delivering results to delivering answers. What if your library could change Google, Siri, and other web agents from being competitors to partners? Linked data has already changed the way we search and get answers. Libraries can be part of that evolution by providing trusted, curated content to feed the growing web of data. NoveList?s Duncan Smith will explain why linked data is critical for library development and Georgia State Librarian Julie Walker will discuss why Georgia is making a significant investment in linked data for all of Georgia?s public libraries.

It is being conducted by an independent evaluator and one of the methods for information gathering is a series of focus groups from Library Community representatives. The focus groups have three major purposes; to understand the impact of the programs funded, to assess the effectiveness of the programs' delivery process and to understand what the future holds for library needs that LSTA funded programs might address. If you are near enough to one of the below locations, and available on the day indicated for that location, please follow the link below to submit your name for consideration. It will ask you for some very basic information (which location, your library, your position in the library and whether or not you have had contact with any LSTA funded programs). Focus Group Sites: * Henry Ford Centennial Library (Dearborn) - Wednesday, November 9th - 10 am to noon * Chippewa River District Library (Mount Pleasant) - Thursday, November 10th - 10 am to noon * Kent District Library, Kentwood Branch (Kentwood) - Friday, November 11th - 10 am to noon * Peter White Public Library (Marquette) - Thursday, November 17th - 10 am to noon Submit Your Name: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LSTAFocusGroups There will be 8-12 participants in each group and as best as possible they will represent different libraries and different positions within libraries.

Message-ID: Today, October 13th, is World Sight Day. Many Michigan residents suffer from visual impairment or blindness. The Michigan Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL) is devoted to providing recreational reading materials to people with vision loss in audio or braille format. Patrons do NOT have to be blind to use our FREE service! Most people who struggle to read standard print would qualify to receive our audio or braille books right to their mailbox (or via download!). Please pass our information on to anyone that you believe may qualify. Losing your sight doesn't have to mean losing the joy of reading-our motto is "That All May Read". Please use this day to spread awareness about blindness and vision impairment by posting the attached images to your library website or social media page with a short explanation about World Sight Day or the BTBL service. Also, continue to focus on these issues for the entire month of October, which is National Blindness Awareness Month.

I'd love to see our library come up with a more proactive process. so if you have any tips on how to stop the behavior before it starts, or other processes that have made dealing with difficult populations easier on staff, I'd love to hear about it. We are also working on our patron code of conduct. I'd love to see what other libraries have in place. I am looking for a full policy but also a shortened version that can be handed to patrons in the moment they are behaving badly. It would also be interesting to hear how you 'track' patron behavior.

Our full-time and part-time staff have 2 paid holidays in November (1 floater for Veterans Day), 3 paid holidays in December (3 floaters), and 2 paid holidays in January (1 floater + MLK, Jr Day). Here's our policy, which we've slowly been refining over the last few years. *Holiday Pay* Holiday pay is compensation paid to regular full-time and regular part-time employees for time during which work would normally be performed, the work having been suspended by reason of a general holiday. The Albion District Library recognizes the following holidays: New Year's Day Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Presidents Day Easter Floating Holiday Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Veterans Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Eve Christmas Day New Year's Eve Regular part-time and full-time employees shall be paid for observed holidays which fall on days for which they would have been scheduled to work, and will be compensated the number of hours for which they are scheduled to work on that day. Should a paid holiday fall on a day when Albion District Library is otherwise closed (i.e., Friday or Sunday), regular full-time and part-time employees may request one regularly scheduled day of holiday leave within the calendar month of said holiday. Should a paid holiday fall on a Saturday, full-time and part-time employees not otherwise regularly scheduled for that day may request one regularly scheduled day of holiday leave within the calendar month of said holiday. Those part-time employees regularly scheduled to work on a Saturday will receive holiday pay for those hours not worked due to the Library closing for that day. The Director will coordinate holiday leave requests so that service to the public is not interrupted. Holiday pay will not be granted in a pay period if creating a situation of overtime hours. An employee who is scheduled or who agrees to work on one of the designated holidays shall take another day off during the calendar month. Holidays occurring during an employee's vacation period, bereavement leave, sick leave, or other approved leave periods are compensable as holidays. Holidays occurring during layoff, leave of absence, or suspension are not compensable. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions on our policy.

A valuable unbiased, nonpartisan source is the MeL database Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Sure it's designed with students in mind but any Michigander can browse the issues list to learn about topics such as immigration, gun control, women in politics, national security, and many more. Websites that might prove useful include: Michigan Secretary of State - numerous links to resources including a full candidate listing for all open offices. ProCon.org - side-by-side comparison between candidates on 75 key issues as well as other resources. Vote Smart - Just the Facts - free, factual, unbiased information on candidates and elected officials and their votes, positions, ratings, speeches, and funding. Pew Research Center - research and studies. PBS News Hour Watch the Debates - watch and interact with every presidential debate since 1960. 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. Eunice Eunice C.

Our Village Hall converts Saturday holidays into being closed Friday, and Sunday holiday becomes a closing on Monday. For the library that won't work. I can't imagine the complaints we would receive if we were closed 8 days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday for two weeks in a row) over the holiday break when kids are off school and parents are looking for somewhere to take them. How does that impact paid time off: Our full-time staff receive 10 paid holidays. Paid holidays become "floating holidays" which they can take anytime during the year, when the holiday falls on the weekend. This year it was like getting an extra week's vacation due to having 4 extra "floating holidays." FYI, our part-time staff do not receive paid time off.

I'd love to see what_ _other libraries have in place. I am looking for a full policy but also a_ _shortened version that can be handed to patrons in the moment they are_ _behaving badly..._ Here's our policy: SECTION: CUSTOMER SERVICE SUBJECT: USE OF THE LIBRARY POLICY The rights of an individual to use the Library shall not be abridged or denied. A patron has the right to undisturbed use of the library materials without the interference of others in the Library. To guarantee these rights for all persons, any person on the Library premises shall be expected to conduct himself or herself in accordance with the Library Rules of Conduct. Patrons are free and welcome to use all areas of the Library except the office and work areas. The Library is designed to preserve a reasonably quiet atmosphere where Library patrons may study and otherwise use Library materials without disturbance. This policy does not prohibit quiet conversation between patrons and/or staff members or conversations required to carry on Library programs and/or business, Library office equipment may be used only by the Library Director, staff members and/or volunteers designated by the Library Director. The Library telephone may not be used by patrons. Incoming calls for patrons are prohibited except in the case of an emergency. The Library shall not be used outside of regular Library hours except for scheduled Library functions. SECTION: CUSTOMER SERVICE SUBJECT: RULES OF CONDUCT POLICY Pursuant to Michigan Statutes (MCL 397-206), the Alden District Library Board may exclude from the use of the Library any persons who shall willfully violate such reasonable rules and regulations as the Library Board may adopt. Such exclusion shall occur on the orders of the Director or Director's designee. "Withholding of Library Privileges" is defined as meaning that an individual may not enter or use the library. Behavior prohibited by the Helena Township Ordinances as well as Federal or State Law is also prohibited on the premises of the Alden District Library. The Alden District Library reserves the right to establish and implement policies and procedures as needed, including, but not limited to: user registration, scheduling and regulating usage of any audio, video and computer equipment, regulating usage of library property and materials, including, without limitation, specialized equipment and/or services provided by the library and made available to the public. Such policies and procedures are intended to make Library property and/or services available to everyone on an equitable basis, to protect the rights of staff members to conduct Library business and to safeguard the Library's property against misuse or abuse. The Alden District Library Board hereby adopts the following Rules of Behavior and directs the Library Director to institute the necessary proceedings of enforcement. The Library Director is further authorized to propose additional Rules of Behavior to the Board as the need may arise. The Alden District Library: * Prohibits the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages on Library property. * Prohibits smoking on Library property. * Bans all weapons from Library premises, including lawfully registered concealed weapons, to the fullest extent permitted by law. PERSONS WHO VIOLATE THE ABOVE RULES ARE SUBJECT TO THE WITHHOLDING OF LIBRARY PRIVILEGES AS FOLLOWS: * First Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for six months. * Second Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for one year. * Requires patrons to wear clothing appropriate for public facilities to insure their safety and the comfort of all patrons. Proper attire includes shirts, slacks, skirts, dresses and shoes or other footwear. * Requires all library patrons to conform to acceptable standards of hygiene and cleanliness in order to prevent the disturbance of other library users and their enjoyment of the library. A library patron who displays a lack of bodily hygiene or whose odor initiates a complaint from or unduly interferes with other patrons' and/or staff members' use and enjoyment of the library shall be asked to leave the library until they can meet acceptable standards of hygiene and cleanliness. Lack of hygiene includes offensive body odor, open runny sores, lice infestation, or unclean clothing, hands or feet which may soil, stain, deface or damage library property. When such problems are corrected, the patron may re-enter the library. * Requires patrons whose perfume or other scents may trigger allergic reactions to refrain from wearing such scents in the future. * Prohibits food in the Library except in designated areas. Non-alcoholic beverages in covered containers are permissible. * Prohibits sleeping on Library property. * Prohibits the use of roller skates, roller blades or skateboards on Library property. * Prohibits all campaigning, petitioning, interviewing, survey taking, soliciting, sales or other speech or conduct which results in the disruption of normal Library activities. * Bans conversation and other sounds in louder volume than the general noise level of the area. * Bans animals from the Library, except those who assist the handicapped, at the discretion of the Library staff. * Prohibits loitering. * Prohibits the use of cell phones. PERSONS WHO VIOLATE THE ABOVE RULES ARE SUBJECT TO THE WITHHOLDING OF LIBRARY PRIVILEGES AS FOLLOWS: * First Offense: One warning, then out for the day. * Second Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for one month. * Third Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any person may, without prior notice or warning, be immediately removed from the Alden District Library if his or her presence or conduct on the premises poses an immediate and imminent danger to any person or property. Persons whose library privileges are withheld for more than 30 days pursuant to the above rules may appeal to the Alden District Library Board of Trustees by appearing in person during the Audience Comment portion of the agenda at a special or regularly scheduled Board meeting. This appearance must be within sixty days after the Library's notice withholding privileges. To ensure such persons sufficient time to address the Board, time limits placed on Audience Comments may be extended at the discretion of the Board. The Board shall hear the appeal and respond in writing within 10 days. Any criminal activity, including theft or vandalism of Library property, shall be immediately reported to law enforcement officials. I post these two related policies in the library, to have ready access to it for staff, or for patrons to view. We're a class 1, and over nine years, I have had to ask someone to leave about three times. ---- _Susan Riegler_ Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To find out more about the contest, you can visit our webpage at www.writemichigan.org. Volunteer reviewers read and rate the short story submissions in order to determine the top ten semi-finalists. Details: -The short story contest has three age categories - adult (18+), teen (12-17) and youth (11 and under). Writers need to live in Michigan (students count). This year we have added a Spanish-Language contest category for all ages. So if you happen to be literate in Spanish, please indicate on the information I am collecting below. -Winners earn cash prizes and are included in a printed anthology. -Volunteers read about 10-13 stories each (depending on the category and how many submissions we read). Each story is read by two people. -Stories are anonymous (unless the author includes their name on the PDF). -We ask you not to review in the category where you or someone you know (family or friend) is entering. -Submissions are available to volunteers online. Each volunteer has a login. -Reading/reviewing takes place between Monday, December 5 and Friday, December 30. Every year, we have reviewers that can't complete their assignments (life happens). So now, we ask reviewers if they could review a few stories last minute and it is so helpful. Please indicate below if you would be willing to do that too. Those reviews would happen Friday, December 31 - Tuesday, January 3 (you would get an email on Friday, December 30 for your new assignment). Ready to go? Please send the following information to Michelle Boisvenue-Fox (mboisvenue-fox at kdl.org) by Friday, November 4: 1. Name / Email address 2. Organization 3. First Choice category (adult | teen | youth | No Preference) 4. Second Choice category (adult | teen | youth | No Preference) 5. Last minute reviewing? Yes or no. 6. Review in Spanish? Yes or no. One more thing: if you work in a library or have access to a community board would you help us get the word out by posting a flyer? We have all sizes available at our media kit online - http://www.writemichigan.org/media.html. Thank you kindly!

Across the country communities are using their public libraries in unique and exciting ways. From Makerspaces and robots to Farmers' Markets , libraries are transforming to meet the changing needs of their communities and continuing to serve as the center of learning and knowledge creation. The Aspen Institute describes a "new world of knowledge", with the public library serving as a "vital learning institution and engine for individual, community, and civil society development." While each of our communities will approach this new era differently, there are common benchmarks that can be utilized to ensure that the public library remains "the essential civil society space where this new America will make its democratic character."

[Cathy Lancaster]A reminder that the 2017 Letters About Literature (LAL) program is now accepting submissions. 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.

I'd love to see what other libraries have in place. I am looking for a full policy but also a shortened version that can be handed to patrons in the moment they are behaving badly... Here's our policy: SECTION: CUSTOMER SERVICE SUBJECT: USE OF THE LIBRARY POLICY The rights of an individual to use the Library shall not be abridged or denied. A patron has the right to undisturbed use of the library materials without the interference of others in the Library. To guarantee these rights for all persons, any person on the Library premises shall be expected to conduct himself or herself in accordance with the Library Rules of Conduct. Patrons are free and welcome to use all areas of the Library except the office and work areas. The Library is designed to preserve a reasonably quiet atmosphere where Library patrons may study and otherwise use Library materials without disturbance. This policy does not prohibit quiet conversation between patrons and/or staff members or conversations required to carry on Library programs and/or business, Library office equipment may be used only by the Library Director, staff members and/or volunteers designated by the Library Director. The Library telephone may not be used by patrons. Incoming calls for patrons are prohibited except in the case of an emergency. The Library shall not be used outside of regular Library hours except for scheduled Library functions. SECTION: CUSTOMER SERVICE SUBJECT: RULES OF CONDUCT POLICY Pursuant to Michigan Statutes (MCL 397-206), the Alden District Library Board may exclude from the use of the Library any persons who shall willfully violate such reasonable rules and regulations as the Library Board may adopt. Such exclusion shall occur on the orders of the Director or Director?s designee. ?Withholding of Library Privileges? is defined as meaning that an individual may not enter or use the library. Behavior prohibited by the Helena Township Ordinances as well as Federal or State Law is also prohibited on the premises of the Alden District Library. The Alden District Library reserves the right to establish and implement policies and procedures as needed, including, but not limited to: user registration, scheduling and regulating usage of any audio, video and computer equipment, regulating usage of library property and materials, including, without limitation, specialized equipment and/or services provided by the library and made available to the public. Such policies and procedures are intended to make Library property and/or services available to everyone on an equitable basis, to protect the rights of staff members to conduct Library business and to safeguard the Library?s property against misuse or abuse. The Alden District Library Board hereby adopts the following Rules of Behavior and directs the Library Director to institute the necessary proceedings of enforcement. The Library Director is further authorized to propose additional Rules of Behavior to the Board as the need may arise. The Alden District Library: 1. Prohibits the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages on Library property. 2. Prohibits smoking on Library property. 3. Bans all weapons from Library premises, including lawfully registered concealed weapons, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Persons who violate the above rules are subject to the withholding of Library privileges as follows: * First Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for six months. * Second Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for one year. 1. Requires patrons to wear clothing appropriate for public facilities to insure their safety and the comfort of all patrons. Proper attire includes shirts, slacks, skirts, dresses and shoes or other footwear. 2. Requires all library patrons to conform to acceptable standards of hygiene and cleanliness in order to prevent the disturbance of other library users and their enjoyment of the library. A library patron who displays a lack of bodily hygiene or whose odor initiates a complaint from or unduly interferes with other patrons? and/or staff members? use and enjoyment of the library shall be asked to leave the library until they can meet acceptable standards of hygiene and cleanliness. Lack of hygiene includes offensive body odor, open runny sores, lice infestation, or unclean clothing, hands or feet which may soil, stain, deface or damage library property. When such problems are corrected, the patron may re-enter the library. 3. Requires patrons whose perfume or other scents may trigger allergic reactions to refrain from wearing such scents in the future. 4. Prohibits food in the Library except in designated areas. Non-alcoholic beverages in covered containers are permissible. 5. Prohibits sleeping on Library property. 6. Prohibits the use of roller skates, roller blades or skateboards on Library property. 7. Prohibits all campaigning, petitioning, interviewing, survey taking, soliciting, sales or other speech or conduct which results in the disruption of normal Library activities. 8. Bans conversation and other sounds in louder volume than the general noise level of the area. 9. Bans animals from the Library, except those who assist the handicapped, at the discretion of the Library staff. 10. Prohibits loitering. 11. Prohibits the use of cell phones. Persons who violate the above rules are subject to the withholding of Library Privileges as follows: * First Offense: One warning, then out for the day. * Second Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for one month. * Third Offense: Library privileges will be revoked for one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any person may, without prior notice or warning, be immediately removed from the Alden District Library if his or her presence or conduct on the premises poses an immediate and imminent danger to any person or property. Persons whose library privileges are withheld for more than 30 days pursuant to the above rules may appeal to the Alden District Library Board of Trustees by appearing in person during the Audience Comment portion of the agenda at a special or regularly scheduled Board meeting. This appearance must be within sixty days after the Library?s notice withholding privileges. To ensure such persons sufficient time to address the Board, time limits placed on Audience Comments may be extended at the discretion of the Board. The Board shall hear the appeal and respond in writing within 10 days. Any criminal activity, including theft or vandalism of Library property, shall be immediately reported to law enforcement officials. I post these two related policies in the library, to have ready access to it for staff, or for patrons to view. We're a class 1, and over nine years, I have had to ask someone to leave about three times. ---- Susan Riegler Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this webinar you'll learn the art of taking your appeal from run of the mill to out of the ballpark. From anesthetizing to astounding. From colorless to captivating. Your appeal letter should be an "offer" to join you in something amazing and transformative.

If you are near enough to one of the below locations, and available on the day indicated for that location, please follow the link below to submit your name for consideration. It will ask you for some very basic information (which location, your library, your position in the library and whether or not you have had contact with any LSTA funded programs).

Message-ID: In case you missed the press release that was sent out, I?m sending it again! This is huge news for Kalamazoo! What an honor to have Mr. Abdul-Jabbar be our 2017 Reading Together Author! Photos of both his book and headshots are available upon request. Regards, Farrell Howe FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 12, 2016 CONTACT Farrell Howe Marketing & Communications Manager Kalamazoo Public Library 269-553-7879 Kalamazoo Public Library Announces 2017 Reading Together Title Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Kalamazoo, MI ? Tuesday, October 12, 2016. Kalamazoo Public Library is pleased to announce the title for Reading Together 2017: Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White by bestselling author, basketball legend, and cultural commentator ? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Mr. Abdul-Jabbar will visit Kalamazoo for a Meet the Author event at Miller Auditorium on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 7 pm. 2017 marks the 15th Anniversary of Reading Together. To commemorate this occasion, KPL wanted to choose a book that addresses important yet divisive issues facing not only our community but the whole country. Writings on the Wall came to the attention of the selection committee immediately upon its release in August and quickly became the obvious choice, not only for the breadth of its content but also for the notoriety of its author. Honed from his life experience both on and off the basketball court, observations and conversations in his everyday life, Abdul-Jabbar explores American politics, racism, religion, gender issues, classism, the news media and much more. Copies will be available for check out at all Kalamazoo Public Library locations beginning November 1. The 2017 Reading Together program will feature Kareem Abdul-Jabbar speaking about his book in an interview format, live, at Miller Auditorium on Tuesday, March 14, at 7 pm, followed by Q&A and book signing. Books will be sold at the event by local, independent bookstore, Michigan News Agency. This event is free and open to the public. Throughout the month of March and into April, Reading Together will feature several programs that explore the concepts and themes presented in Abdul-Jabbar?s work, with an opportunity for engaging discussion and revelation. Information about the 2017 Reading Together program will be posted readingtogether.us as dates and programs are confirmed. The purpose of Reading Together is to build a stronger community with deeper connections through the common experience of reading the same book and exploring its themes together. When we do that, we engage and learn, not only about ourselves, but also more importantly about each other and the world around us. By experiencing the same book, hearing the author of that work speak right here in Kalamazoo, and delving deeper into the books? themes, we are able to embrace our similarities and differences from a common point of reference. Very simply, when we read together, we grow together. About Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Since retiring from professional basketball as the NBA's all-time leading scorer, six-time MVP, and Hall of Fame inductee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has become a lauded observer of culture and society, a New York Times bestselling author, and a regular contributor to The Washington Post, TIME magazine and TIME.com. He now brings that keen insight to the fore in Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White, his most incisive and important work of non-fiction in years. He uses his unique blend of erudition, street smarts and authentic experience in essays on the country's seemingly irreconcilable partisan divide - both racial and political, parenthood, and his own experiences as an athlete, African-American, and a Muslim. The book is not just a collection of expositions; he also offers keen assessments of and solutions to problems such as racism in sports while speaking candidly about his experiences on the court and off. Timed for publication as the nation debates whom to send to the White House, the combination of plain talk on issues, life lessons, and personal stories places Writings on the Wall squarely in the middle of the conversation, as many of Abdul-Jabbar's topics are at the top of the national agenda. Whether it is sparring with Donald Trump, within the pages of TIME magazine, or full-length features in the The New York Times Magazine, writers, critics, and readers have come to agree on what The Washington Post observed: Abdul-Jabbar "has become a vital, dynamic and unorthodox cultural voice."

Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 11am MT On August 21, 2017, we will be treated to the first total eclipse of the Sun visible in the continental U.S. in almost 40 years. The spectacular total eclipse will only be visible in a narrow band about 60 miles across, stretching diagonally across the country from a beach in Oregon to a beach in South Carolina. However, everyone in North America will see a partial solar eclipse, where a big "bite" will be taken out of the Sun. This will be the first major U.S. eclipse of the Internet age, and most people will need clear reliable information on when and how to observe the eclipse of the Sun safely. Astronomers are hoping libraries will play a key role in getting this information out to their communities. Working with astronomy groups in their communities, they could also be a central place for safe observing. Get an early start in preparing for this eclipse, how to explain it, how to observe it safely, and what role libraries can play in organizing and informing their communities. Library staff and their partners are invited to join a STAR_Net webinar on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 11am MT, where you'll get great information about the eclipse and be able to ask questions about the role your library can play. Hosts: Dennis Schatz (NSTA, Pacific Science Center), and Andrew Fraknoi (Foothill College; co-author of a new book on eclipse education). Click here for an Eclipse FAQ sheet and click here for hands-on Sun science activities. **************************** The STAR Library Education Network (STAR_Net) is a hands-on learning program for libraries and their communities across the country. STAR_Net focuses on building STEM skills through developing "science-technology activities and resources" (STAR).

Register your public library for a 2017 solar eclipse event and receive 50 FREE* solar viewing glasses and more! *First-come, first served Hands-on Sun Science There's more to the Sun than meets the eye -- so use your taste buds! Make a Sun Cookie by decorating a frosted sugar cookie to model the (tasty) parts of the Sun: Sugar sprinkles: gas rising up from the Sun's core make Texas-sized features on the Sun called solar granules. Chocolate pieces: cooler areas of the Sun appear as darker sun spots. Sun spots come in pairs, so add the chocolate pieces two at a time! Licorice strands: hot gas erupts from the Sun in looping arcs called solar prominences. Whatever you do, don't add the corona -- it will melt your Sun Cookie! Mysteriously, the corona is much hotter than the surface of the Sun. It is relatively dim and only visible when the Sun's light is blocked out -- such as during a total solar eclipse.

(In our materials survey this past June we had about 30 libraries request print, if you are one of those I was able to order you a print copy, but if not you will receive a USB version) There will be no manuals distributed on CD this year.

View as a web page [Libraries Transform Newsletter] [Facebook][LinkedIn][Twitter][AddThis] It's hard to believe that October marks not only the 140th anniversary of the founding of the American Library Association, but the first anniversary of Libraries Transform. Since its launch in Washington, D.C., last October, more than 3,900 libraries and library supporters from across the country and around the world have joined the campaign and used the message of Libraries Transform to advocate and increase awareness for all types of libraries. It's amazing to consider what a difference a year can make! We'd love to hear what you think. We have included a brief survey in this month's newsletter along with the other great content you have come to expect. Please take 5 minutes and let us know what you think, and help us continue to transform to meet your library's needs. ________________________________ Daviess County Public Library: Documentary Evidence [Screenshot: Daviess County Public Library Video Documentary]Using the talents of its videographer, Michael Dunn, and pressing into service its recently acquired drone, the library produced a 10-minute documentary giving a short history of the American Library Association's Libraries Transform campaign and showing how the library uses the campaign's messaging. Read the full story. ________________________________ Tell Us What You Think Thank you for your support of the Libraries Transform campaign and the American Library Association. By participating in our survey, you will help us assess the campaign so we can continue to provide resources and support for your public awareness and advocacy efforts. The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your responses are completely anonymous. If you have any questions about the survey, feel free to email us at pao at ala.org. We appreciate your feedback. ________________________________ Connected Learning Links Library Patrons with Their Passion [Generic people depicted with different types of learning]Advanced digital tools have rendered the world a classroom. The problem is, it's a really big classroom and can overwhelm even the most earnest student. In this way, connected learning refers not just to the technology, but to the substance of the experience. In today's wired environment, access to digital tools and opportunities to engage in self-selected, self-guided and self-paced learning provide new avenues for learning. Curation of those digital tools by professional librarians ensures that library patrons are not only plugged in, but tuned in as well. Or, if you will, connected. Read the full story. ________________________________ New Clings Available from ALA Store [Because the expert in the library is you. Because librarians know information is the best medicine for healthcare questions. Because librarians get an A+ for ensuring kids excel in reading. Because the best search engine in the library is the librarian.] Showcase the transformative nature of your library with these 11"x17", 4 mil, light adhesive, repositionable clings.

IMLS can do that work, and gets the funding it needs, in no small measure because Congress passed and periodically "reauthorizes" the Museum and Library Services Act. It's time for Congress to renew that important landmark legislation again and library champions in the Senate have just introduced a bill, S. 3391, to do exactly that. With just a few weeks remaining after the November elections to get it passed, however, we need to help them help us by getting as many other Senators to "co-sponsor" S. 3391 as possible. Please, don't wait until November. Act now to email or call your Senators and ask them to co-sponsor S. 3391, the Museum and Library Services Act, as soon as they get back to Washington. The more cosponsors we can get, the better the odds that the key Senate "HELP" Committee will act on the bill when the Senate returns so that the full Senate will have the chance to approve it before the 114th Congress comes to a close in December. Send an Email Talking Points: * S. 3391 is a bi-partisan bill with broad support from the library and museum communities, and in Congress; * S. 3391 requires the use of data driven tools, including research, analysis and modeling, evaluation, and dissemination to assess and assure the impact and effectiveness of funded programs; * S. 3391 highlights the role of libraries as community hubs, equipped to meet ever evolving community needs, including: literacy, education, lifelong learning, workforce development, economic and business development, digital literacy skills critical thinking, financial literacy skills and new and emerging technology; and * S. 3391 will enhance IMLS' collaborative efforts by expanding the number of federal agencies able to fully leverage the role of libraries and museums in supporting and meeting the needs of Americans.

Original query: https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/information/become-a-passport-acceptance-facility.html Are there any libraries providing this service currently? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience. What size library are you? How many passports do you issue? Is the staff time worth the $25 in revenue generated? Responses: I used to oversee the Passport Acceptance Facility at Sacramento Public Library's Central Library, and while I don't have access to the numbers anymore (we accepted appointments and drop-ins and were always busy), we weren't making a profit when staff time was factored in. It was, however, a fabulous service we provided to our community. Please feel free to call me for more details. Thanks, Rebecca Higgerson Director Brandon Twp Public Library Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 Michigan State University Libraries provides the passport service. You can find the information at http://www.lib.msu.edu/passport/ For details, you can contact Terri Miller, our AD for Public Services (ticklet at mail.lib.msu.edu) and Jill Thornton (thornton at msu.edu) our Head of Hollander MakerCentral unit. ranti. -- Ranti Junus, Systems Librarian Michigan State University Libraries The Roseville Public Library in Macomb County was one of the first libraries in Michigan accepting passports. We offered this service for approximately five years before the recession when we had to lay off employees. These are my words of advice if you choose to offer this service: Appointment vs. walk-in - Since only three of our employees were trained to accept passports, we offered the service on an appointment basis to make sure that an employee would be available. Although we publicized this well, many people did not read the information carefully and just showed up. If were were unable to accommodate them, we had very unhappy people. Will you allow this service whenever the library is open or by appointment only? Staff time - Many people applying for passports at our library had issues that required them to bring in different or additional documentation (for instance they had a birth "record" when a birth certificate was required or a grandparent had custody but did not bring in the court order for custody or their photos were did not meet agency requirements). Initially preparing people, explaining unusual circumstances and making new appointments took a great deal of time. Honestly, I did not think it was worth the $25 per passport fee that we received. You have to weigh whether you are doing this for additional revenue (not a good idea in my opinion) or as a service to your residents (this is a good idea). Additional fees - expediting and sending passports overnight means additional postage and paperwork and additional staff time. 9 x 13 envelopes cost money as do requests to photocopy documents. Even basic, first-class postage is also an additional fee. Do you pass all of these additional fees on to the public which will decrease the $25 fee? Roseville is a medium-sized library and we accepted passports for people all over metro-detroit because we offered evening hours. If your library is bigger or better staffed than our library, this could be a very nice service to offer your residents. Please don't construe my comments as negative, just things to think about before you offer the service. I hope this helps.

Keynote Speakers: Cecily Walker, Vancouver Public Library It was her frustration with the way that software was designed to meet the needs of highly technical users rather than the general public that led her to user experience, but it was her love of information, intellectual freedom, and commitment to social justice that led her back to librarianship. Waldo Jaquith, U.S. Open Data The director of U.S. Open Data, an organization that works with government and the private sector to advance the cause of open data Tara Robertson, @tararobertson ?I like figuring out how things work, why they break, and how to make them work better. I?m passionate about universal design, accessibility, open source software, intellectual freedom, feminism and Fluevog shoes.? The Preconference Workshops: Librarians can code! A ?hands-on? computer programming workshop just for librarians Computer programming has a reputation for being highly technical, unintelligible, and out of reach for the average librarian. Meanwhile, kids as young as 7 years old are learning to code at library programs every day. This workshop will convince you that you can code. It?s not as hard as you think!

Thank you all for taking the time to share with me; it's been extremely helpful. I will let you know how it goes here once we have it off the ground and running! We just started our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program on October 3rd ( www.tadl.org/1000books). We had done it at my previous library, the Westland Public Library, and I thought that Traverse would be a great place to start one with all of the kid- and early literacy centered organizations around here. We've had great support by our patrons and also many local organizations including Born to Read and many of our local teachers. Preschool teachers seem to be the best advocates for this program (well, in addition to your storytime programs). So far, we've had over 80 families signup at our (main) branch and over 120 in our district. We are lucky to have a marketing manager who is awesome at putting our message out there and connecting us to media resources. In terms of Youth Services staff, our main job has been stuffing envelopes, promoting in our storytimes, and recording the numbers on a spreadsheet (we use Gmail as a library and record ours currently in Google Sheets). We put up some posters from Demco and decorations for families to record their children's name(s) on. I've attached our promotional posters and book logs (1000 Books is an organization and will send you logos to help promote the program, too). We have been partnering with our local Zonta group for many years on a Books for Babies program. The Friends of the Library buy age appropriate board books ? lately we?ve been ordering in bulk from the Book Depot when we find a good title or two. Zonta fundraises and solicits donations for printed plastic bags. The bags, which include the book, a brochure with information about the importance of early literacy and a list of local organizations that offer programs for children, sometimes a gift (teething ring, bib, etc) from the local Great Starts Initiative, a child development wheel provided by our ISD and whatever else good that comes our way free of charge. Members of the Friends and Zonta get together a couple times a year at the library to pack bags. A Zonta member keeps them at her home and deliveries about 30 at a time to our hospital whenever they call to say stock is running low. We haven?t had much direct response from the recipients, but it is a good community collaboration project that we HOPE is introducing moms to the importance of early literacy. Hello! At the Detroit Public Library, Main Library do 1000 Books Before Kindergarten. We have 3 full time librarians and are open 44 hours a week. In October 2015 we got the OK to open the Children's section from 10-Noon on Tuesday and Wednesday JUST for our storytime program, the resto of Main is not open until Noon. We do storytime every day Tues-Friday morning from 10:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Different age levels are the focus on separate days Tuesday- Babies, Wednesday- Toddlers, Thursday age 3-4 Friday-Preschool. We provide age appropriate stories then have play time with educational toys games/crafts, snack until Noon. We bought a lot of toys from Constructive Playthings catalog. We use the Rangerland Jr 1000 Books Before Kindergarten booklet to give the program a focus. Parents register with a registration form we made up for each child. Each child gets a Rangerland book for parents to record books listened to at storytime, at home, etc....O.K. if the titles repeat. After each 100 we give them a sticker (little gold stickers come with the books) and a free book we order from First Book or other donations of free books or coloring/activity books. We started the program last October and have seen attendance grow even with all the construction going on in Midtown! Parents and children enjoy meeting other families from the area. They especially enjoy play time. This has been a great way to get new customers into the Children's Library to get library cards and check out books. We provide information on the games play and offer information about other activities going on in the area. There are special programs once a month such as Yoga for preschool age children and parents, Mad Science of Detroit, live animal show, magician, storytellers etc... On Saturdays we provide a free art program for ages 4-7 through ProjectArt so some of our Early Literacy program children attend this also! This month we tried a "Page to Stage" Program where the library bought and give tickets to the Alice and Wonderland production at Wayne State. We purchased giveaway Alice in Wonderland, Little Golden Books to give families who registered for the play. The families met us at the theater for a small reception and the production! Mainly one librarian does the storytimes. The children get used to her and look forward to seeing her! All the librarians fill in when she is not at work. Together we brainstorm to develop themes and collect books and activities for each week/month. We plan to fill boxes or totes with each theme for easy/repeat use. Hiring guest presenters gives the librarian a break once in a while and gives customers something extra! I don't have much on the ground information from our library yet, but within the last week we've just kicked off 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten here in East Lansing. The planning was really smooth -- mostly just figuring out how we want to structure rewards, monitor sign-up, and start getting the word out. I'm anticipating / hoping that it will be a minimally time intensive task for our circ staff, who handle the sign-ups and prizes, although I know there will be a learning curve. We got a grant from our local rotary club to purchase supplies (mostly the rewards, but also some things like folders to hang out at sign up, etc., but on the whole it hasn't been too spendy, at least so far -- I'll be interested to see what pace we end up going through rewards. Our Friends of the Library also agreed to donate materials from their book sale, so at 500 and 1000 books kids get to pick out a free book from what they have in stock in their children's section. I do know that several other libraries near us (Delta and DeWitt I believe) have had really good luck with their programs, and lots of motivated participants, so I think that bodes well! I believe several Great Start agencies around Lansing have partnered with their local libraries to make it a team effort, and while we haven't pursued that yet here, it might be a good option! Just let me know if you have any questions I could potentially answer (even though I'm still figuring it out myself here). My library started the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program in May 2016 and had our first finisher in August. It requires very little time on staff; we promote the program and assist with sign up and simply hand out the prizes per every 100 books read and take a picture when they reach the 1000 goal and get the free t-shirt prize. The hardest part we?ve found and parents remembering to log in the books they?ve read on their child?s booklet and bringing it back to the library to get the prizes. Sign up is great, following through on parents end not so much. But we keep trying. With the 1000 Books option, it is copyrighted and patent so you need their permission to use that phrase if you choose that option. You simply email them and they respond they have you listed on their site and then you?re authorized to use their phrase, logos, etc. They also sent me 2 copies of their ?1000 books before kindergarten? story book they have; parents here have seen that on display and then ask about the program. I say it?s a simple very little daily work required program; biggest part is promoting it. We just started offering the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program on September 1st. We have a very passive program. We set up a display, hung posters, and modified the generic recommended reading list to only include titles we own (so took some out and added some). All we ask the parents/grandparents/care-givers to do is register their child and then we give them the first record to track 100 titles. Then when they fill that up, they bring it back, we mark it off on our master record, and give them the next sheet. I think we also give the kids a few stickers to get them excited and we have certificates for whenever they actually complete the program. But that's about it. It's generated a little bit of buzz, but not much. I think there are six kids registered so far (approximately the same number as attend storyhour). We've already had a patron volunteer to sponsor it if it gets really popular and we need some more funds And there's been some rather confused questions from (mostly older) patrons who think the kids have to read the 1000 books themselves before(?) Kindergarten ends...but once we explain it's recommended to start at birth and one a night or five a week will see the challenge completed with time to spare, you can see the light bulb turn on and it prompts reminisces about reading with their kids or being read to by their parents. I see us offering this for the long-term, just another service, and hopefully eventually known well enough that when babies are born their parents will stop in and register them...that's my hope anyway! We are just starting some programs targeting preschool including 1000 books. I will let you know as we progress, I would appreciate if you would share any tips anyone shares with you and I will do the same. We have 1000Books at our library. It is one of the easiest to run and have approximately 100 families signed up. Every month more join. It is very worthwhile. We just started 2 weeks ago with the program. Here some info about us. Our library serves about 7,000 in a small bedroom community in between Grand Rapids & Kalamazoo. We have a coordinated effort for our whole county (Allegan). We received support from our Allegan County United Way for funding for materials including tracking sheets, progress bookmark, brochures, and bags to give away all with a farm theme. Each library can do it how they want. This is what we are doing-especially keeping staff in mind because once you start, it's the never ending program. We purchase a storage container for behind our circ. desk https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006ICBH/ref=oh_aui_ detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Basically it's a hanging file for ease of access for our tracking sheets etc. For sign up parents receive a tracking sheet for the first 100 books-all they need to do is check off a "cat" each time they read a book. It can be the same book over and over, books from their collection, books from the library. Since this program is for children not in kindergarten, if their child attends a preschool program and attends a library programs, the books their count too. They also received a tri-fold brochure explaining the program. On our end, we get out a progress bookmark, write the child's name on the back (last name first), write the parent's phone number, then year. We keep this behind the desk in the storage container and as they complete a sheet of 100 books read, they add a sticker to they progress bookmark, then receive their next sheet. We are giving away incentives. After the first 100, they receive a bookbag that say I read a 1,000 books. This was suggested to be given away at the completion of the program, but we decided it would help parents remember they are participating and they could bring their library books back and forth in it. After 500, we will give a coupon away to our local grocery store for a free cookie. At 1,000 they will receive a shirt that says I read 1,000 books before kindergarten. We also purchased a vinyl banner on line to put on the wall at our circ desk to show the public the progress of our participants and to create conversation and reminders of the program. Your staff at the circ desk is your front line, so they have to be enthusiastic and sales people to your patrons as they check out. We are putting out weekly reminders on our library Facebook page, it's on our website, and we are fortunate to have a great relationship with our local public schools. The schools allowed us to attend parent/teacher conferences with a table in the hall to promote the program and they sent out the info on Peachjar-an email program they use to send out info to the parents in they school district. They also put a link on the school's website under the Early childhood tab. This program potentially effects them too. They were happy to do it! Sorry to go on and on, but I think it's an awesome program. We're concerned how to keep it fresh and remind those who some how didn't get reached by our initial launch and move into the community over the next few years. If you should have any questions please contact me. http://www.putnamlib.org/events/preschool Click on our 1,000 Books link. Our partner is: http://jr-rangerland.com/1000%20books/RangerLand%20explore%201000%20books%20young%20readers%20program.html Not staff intensive. Parents respond....but find it hard to write and keep a record. We are flexible. Write it once...draw a line the next 20 times you read it this week. :) Have 3 kids under kindergarten? Use one book for all three...still get three prizes... That kind of flexible... I'm glad to answer more specific questions beyond that too. Hi, We are a level four library, serving a population of 23,000. About 25 families are currently working their way through the program. It is not much work at all: we have copies of the logs on hand, we bought stickers to give out when completing a set; our local literacy group has given us a prize bin and the books to go in it. For every 100 books read, the child gets to pick a book from the bin. I keep track on a master list which takes me about 15 minutes a week. Really easy and the kids love it! I hope this helps.

For example, what methods have been successfully used, in the library workplace, for assessing efficacy of project management? What are the future trends and implications for library administration and management as formal project management schema become more commonplace in library work? How do these formal schemas demonstrably affect and improve library workplaces? For this forthcoming volume we welcome submissions that consider how project management affects library administration and that address the role of project management in the library workplace. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: ? Assessments of project management approaches ? History of project management in library administrationand future trends ? Integration of project management processes and procedures within libraries ? Efficacy of project management tools for library workplaces and projects ? Project-related problem solving ? Project participants and teambuilding ? Project leadership in libraries ? Project management education for library workers This will be the second volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2017. About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series answers the questions, ?How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?? It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries. How to submit We are currently seeking proposals for the 2017 volume on project management in the library workplace. If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Alice Daugherty at adaugher at lsu.edu by November 15, 2016.

These books are available for ILL from our library and have now been placed in five children's hospitals around the state. Read more about the collection in our press release below and find the complete listing and a downloadable brochure at www.baldwinlib.org/build-imagination. *--* *Rebekah Craft* *Associate Director* Baldwin Public Library 300 W. Merrill St. Birmingham, MI 48009 www.baldwinlib.org 248-554-4682 *Build Imagination Book Collection Debuts at Michigan Hospitals* BIRMINGHAM, MI (October 21, 2016) ? Patients at Michigan hospitals and cancer centers will have the opportunity to enjoy a new collection of books during their stay, thanks to a donation from the Rae Dumke Fund of the Michigan Architectural Foundation (MAF). With help from the Baldwin Public Library in Birmingham, Rae Dumke, Hon. AIA, will be presenting the Build Imagination collection, a set of 100 books on topics that help foster children's imaginations and raise awareness about architecture, to five children?s hospitals and cancer centers around the state. Covering everything from architecture, art and color to LEGO, graphic design, shapes, and famous landmarks, the Build Imagination collection includes board books for the very young to more advanced informational texts for children as old as fourteen. Stephanie Klimmek, Head of Youth Services at the Baldwin Library, selected each title in the collection. The Rae Dumke Fund will be providing complete sets of Build Imagination books to C.S. Mott Children?s Hospital (Ann Arbor), Bronson Children?s Hospital (Kalamazoo), Renucci Hospitality House (Grand Rapids), Ronald McDonald House (Grand Rapids), and Munson Hospital Cowell Family Cancer Center (Traverse City). Rae Dumke, Hon. AIA, is the former Executive Director of MAF, AIA Michigan (American Institute of Architects Michigan), and AIA Detroit. She currently serves on the MAF Board of Trustees. Upon her retirement, the Michigan Architectural Foundation established a dedicated development fund to honor her legacy of 43 years of service to AIA and MAF. Contributions to the Rae Dumke Development Fund came from AIA members, the construction industry, friends, and family. The Dumke Open, an annual golf outing, is a major fundraising event for the development fund. After debuting the Build Imagination collection at the Baldwin Public Library in September 2015, Dumke began looking for new avenues to share this special collection of books. ?Children and parents all had such delightful reactions to the collection during the open house held to present the books. I wanted to be able to share these special books with more children around our state,? said Dumke. ?Reading together is such a special and important way for a child to bond with a parent. I hope that these books will be a source of comfort to parents and children during the treatment process.? The Baldwin Public Library, located in downtown Birmingham, enriches Birmingham and participating communities by providing opportunities and resources for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to learn, connect, and discover.

The Mission of the Michigan Architectural Foundation is to advance public awareness and understanding of how architecture enriches life.

This Month's Wisdom... "...try to use one participation book every storytime. Have children do an activity which allows them to stretch or be active midway through the program." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Focus on Preschoolers! [preschooler]This month the focus is on children ages four and five and on preschool storytimes. Just a reminder that a webinar on this topic will be held on November 10 at 2:00 p.m. Some topics that will be covered include: tips for incorporating books and activities on the five practices of ECRR (Talk, Sing, Read, Write and Play) into storytimes; what types of books are recommended for these ages along with suggested titles; music, art and play activities; and some book extensions. If you cannot attend, you can access the archived webinar at another time. All webinars held this year can be found at: http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-62245-370596--,00.html Scroll down to webinars, and click on the date/topic. By the way, all the dates for the 2017 webinars along with topics are already posted at this site. TIPS for Preschool Storytimes *Have the parent/caregiver present for this program - it is an excellent way to model to the caregiver how to share books, language, and songs and encourage them to extend the experiences at home. *Programs are almost always thematically arranged. Do not be so concerned about a certain theme however, that you pick books that are really unsuitable for group sharing, or are not developmentally appropriate. *Limit to 20 to 25 caregivers with their preschooler (children can sit in front and caregivers behind them or they can sit together but make sure that adults are not blocking children's views. Tell the parents that they are expected to join in with the rhymes and songs and participate in the storytime. This is particularly true if the parents sit in the back and not with their child, so that they are not talking to other parents, texting or causing you to lose control of the program.) *Begin with an opening finger rhyme or song and/or by introducing the theme. Alternate 3 or 4 stories with one or two activities such as: active rhymes, finger rhymes, creative dramatics, poems, or songs. Use various methods of storytelling to tell those stories with one story more VISUAL through the use of a flannel or magnetic board, puppet, tell-and-draw story, etc. Also, try to use one PARTICIPATION book every storytime. Have children do an activity which allows them to stretch or be active midway through the program. *Include an art activity, or other open-ended, hands-on activity at the end if desired ________________________________ Suggested Template for Preschool Storytime [storytime]Opener (Song or Rhyme but song is suggested. Use same opener every week.) Book (Use your longest story here ) Activity: Fingerplays, Rhymes, Songs, or Creative Dramatics (Use 2 or 3 Different Activities) Book (Make sure this book or the one that follows is a "participation story") Activity: Fingerplays, Rhymes, Songs, or Creative Dramatics (Use 2 or 3 Different Activities. Make sure one activity/song gets them up and moving) Book (Try to use a visual - a puppet, prop, magnetic or flannel board story) Activity: Fingerplays, Rhymes, Songs, or Creative Dramatics (Use 2 or 3 Different Activities - a Combination of the Above) Closing Song or Rhyme Optional Activity - can be open-ended art, educational toys etc. If children are experienced with storytime and are good listeners, add one more book followed by 2 activities. I recommend not reading/sharing two books in a row. Consider using one age/developmentally appropriate NONFICTION book occasionally. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [book]With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck. David Friend. Nancy Paulsen Books, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-399-16956-4. $16.99. When the title is a rhyme, you just know this book is going to be a good choice for emphasizing phonological awareness. But this gem is great for another early literacy skill --- vocabulary! Listen to just a few of the words children are introduced to: concrete; backhoe; crane; 18-wheeler; flatbed trailer; combine; plow; earthmover; paver; baling hay; jackhammer; plowing; bulldozer; and trash compacter. With Michael Rex's brightly colored child-appealing illustrations, this book cannot help but be a hit. Opening the book, children are greeted by end papers displaying brightly colored construction cones and barriers. A boy then reminisces about all the different types of equipment he learned to drive at different ages in his life. So what if the trucks at the end turn out just to be toys--- children will already have enjoyed coming along for the ride. And, the end illustration with the boy now a man driving a truck with his stuffed animal friends attached to the front, make this a fun journey indeed! Make Way for Readers. Judy Sierra. Simon & Schuster, 2016. ISBN: 978-1-4814-1851-5. $17.99. Another story in rhyme, this is a book every children's librarian will love sharing because it is about preschool animal friends participating in storytime! Miss Bingo, "the storytime rhymer, the singing flamingo," is in charge. She tells them stories "of kittens, mittens and mice; Miss Muffet, her tuffet, sugar and spice." Then Miss Bingo honks "Now stretch up high, now stretch down low." But, uh-oh, gator tramples on Annabelle's (little mouse's) toe! Rory the fox distracts her with a book, and Annabelle again smiles and giggles. At the end of storytime, Miss Bingo, the flamingo, closes with "Toodle-oo, little readers, Please come again soon!" And for certain, children will want to not only revisit the book, but hopefully attend another library storytime! [book] ________________________________ Websites of the Month [website]There are tons of great web sites that are helpful for planning preschool storytimes. Below are just a few of my favorites. First, we have talked about the importance of children's narrative skills. So how can we do this in storytime? One way is through the use of a flannel or magnetic board. First you can share a book, and then as you place the pieces on the board, children can help retell the story. But if you are like me (with little artistic talent), then you need patterns to make your pieces. So where do you find patterns for well-loved children's books? Here are a few sites: 1. Daycare Resource Flannel Stories 2. Kiz Club Storybook Printable Patterns 3. Make Learning Fun Book Printables We all know the importance of sharing rhymes and songs for phonological awareness, but where can you find a ton of ideas for songs and rhymes AND how to do actually do them? Here are two great sites: 1. King County Library System Tell Me A Story - Tons of videos with librarians demonstrating fingerplays, rhymes, and songs are shown on You Tube at this site. 2. http://www.storyblocks.org/ Rhymes and songs are demonstrated via video, from Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy. What if you are just looking for some sites to help you plan preschool storytimes? Check out these favorites: 1. Storytime Katie 2. Perry Public Library's (Ohio) Storytime Themes 3. Jbrary ________________________________ Reflections... [magazine]Preschool Storytime Activity--- Coloring, Crafts or Open-Ended Art? For all the years I conducted preschool storytimes, hearing that other librarians passed out coloring sheets at the end of their storytime really bothered me. Having received my master's degree in early childhood education, I knew that coloring sheets went against the concept of developmentally appropriate practice, especially as it relates to the promotion of children's creativity, critical thinking or problem solving. As I learned in my graduate classes, it would be far better to hand out a blank piece of paper and crayons, and have children draw and color something they enjoyed hearing about in storytime. Here is an article that cements the feelings that I had: "Coloring Books: Not My Idea of a Good Time." http://eceducation.blogspot.com/2010/01/coloring-books-not-my-idea-of-good-time.html Then, enter 2016, and one finds that coloring books are such a hit, that even adult coloring books have become best-sellers! Coloring books are now the thing! Another popular activity some librarians employed was to hand children a paper bag and pre-cut pieces, and have them design (insert whatever the theme was for that day) something like a dog, cat, pig etc. which was to look exactly like the one the librarian had previously made and held up for examination. Again, I thought back to my early childhood classes, and remembered a teacher I had that literally gave a graduate student a failing grade for following her storytelling book with this type of activity. She was a world-renown educator, and I can still see her red face while blasting the student ---"What is the child learning? How to follow directions? How does this allow the child to have any creativity or make any decisions?" So trust me, I never made a paper bag puppet in my storytimes unless children colored it the way they wanted, or had different objects they could choose from to make their own original creation. Mary Ann Kohl's book Preschool Art: It's the Process, Not the Product! became my bible. And I only use open-ended art at the end of my storytimes, and, I made certain that my graduate library students in my Kent class that I (still) teach also knew the importance of open-ended art vs. pre-assembled crafts. There are tons of educational articles to back up this assertion. Here is one by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, which is the world's largest and most renown organization for early childhood educators: http://www.naeyc.org/tyc/article/process-art-experiences After years of doing and teaching open-ended art, I was eventually attacked by some crafters at an educational conference who were adamant that preschool crafts for children help children with fine motors skills, as well as listening skills. And they asserted, for some children, there is great pride in being able to reproduce a teacher/librarian made model. So what are my thoughts now? I still recommend open-ended art as much as possible, but I guess I will concede the fact that an occasional coloring sheet or a follow-the-directions craft isn't all bad! ________________________________ About Sue: [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

After a corporate layoff in 2001, down on her luck, and stuck selling off cars, jewelry, and designer purses, Jen launched a website to air her frustrations about unemployment. Her blog turned into her first book, "Bitter is the New Black," which became a best-seller. Since then she has written seven more memoirs and five novels. Lancaster, who even wears her pearls to work out, will entertain the audience with her hilarious adventures in everyday life.
