Our library is considering a policy regarding our fund balance. I found a suggestion by the Government Finance Officers Association that governments should establish a formal policy that governs the level of fund balance as well as guidelines for increasing and decreasing the unrestricted fund balance. While we are not a government, we are under scrutiny by our County Board and think that having a set of guidelines in place may help us defend an increase or decrease of our fund balance. If you have a policy for your library or know that your municipality has one, I would certainly appreciate any examples that we can use to help shape one of our own.

Message-ID: <131b227f-ba67-4411-053d-0865c5032694@alpenalibrary.org> The 2016 Alpena Book Festival will take place Saturday, September 24^th from 10:00 am-7:00 pm in downtown Alpena. A full day event, the Festival includes panel discussions, author talks, meet and greets, and educational sessions for aspiring writers. Over 25 authors have committed their participation in this year?s Festival, spanning genres that include: inspirational writing, poetry, young adult, science fiction, literary fiction, mystery, Michigan based fiction and non-fiction, and graphic novelists. In what is a truly cooperative endeavor, the staff and volunteers from the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library, Blue Phoenix Books, Bob?s Bullpen, and Olivet Book and Gift are bringing together authors, illustrators, poets, and readers of all ages to the shores of Thunder Bay for a celebration of literacy and Michigan literary contributions. The festival has activities for all age groups, Ambassador Member of the Alpena Girl Scouts, Bailey Becker, is facilitating a children?s reading and writing activity for ages 3 and up and Children?s Librarian, Mary Clute, will be hosting a craft program at the library. While the event is free and open to the public, attendees may purchase a festival tote bag for a nominal fee, the proceeds of which benefit the READ adult literacy program at the Library. Each bag has a selection of Advanced Reader?s Copies provided by various publishers as well as a few convenience items, peppermints, pens, and bookmarks. Downtown Alpena businesses including Art in the Loft, As You Wish Bakery, Cabin Creek Coffee, Thunder Bay Winery and The Fresh Palate have generously donated their space to provide unique and fun settings for Festival activities. A detailed schedule of the day?s events will be available in the coming weeks. Those interested in volunteering, registering, learning about the participating authors or general Festival information can visit the website http://alpenabookfestival.wixsite.com/abf2016or the Festival?s Facebook page. The Alpena Book Festival and its activities are made possible in part through the support of the Michigan Center for the Book, the Michigan affiliate of the National Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. -- Jessica Luther Development Coordinator Alpena County George N.

We have a patron who moved and lost 3 audiobooks. We have charged her for the lost items and eventually she was sent to collections. She contacted the library and being unemployed, she has asked if she can work off the fine. She just graduated from college and is job hunting, hence she has no money to pay the fine. I approached my board with her request and they asked me to poll the group of libraries to see what your thoughts are and if anyone has ever dealt with this kind of a situation. I see that we have two choices. Either she doesn't and can't pay the fine so it sits on her account perpetually (which really does us no good or her for that matter) We let her volunteer to pay off her fine (this opens the flood gates for other people to do the same thing, also not good for us) We could of course waive the fine but that also opens a flood gate. Also, I should mention she moved out of our service area and still wants to settle her account. So we are stuck. Any wisdom from the group would be appreciated.

In addition, bartering volunteer hours for fines is also a slippery slope that other patrons will expect to be able to do as well. And that is one step shy of accepting payment in the form of goods, like quilts or livestock. (Just stretching the thought out to its illogical conclusion, which is something patrons may do too.)

I'd let it go and consider it an exception to the rule. I would explain to her that your are making an exception and that it is a one time deal. Then put a note in her record stating that future fines will not be waived - that is if you are keeping her patron record in the system. Just because you waive one fine, does not mean you have to waive fines for others. Hope that helps!

Goals and objectives: After participating in this webinar, you will be able to: * Understand basic statistical terms such as standard deviation, t test, p value, and so on * Identify test measures used in published research studies * Interpret the data, formulas, and graphs used in the research findings Agenda: 1. Examine sample research papers and their data analysis findings. Highlight statistical terms that will be discussed. 2. Define the statistical concepts. 3. Use interactive exercises to verify understanding. For example, to examine different research studies and decide which test measure was used. 4. Reexamine the research papers and data to further reinforce the concept. Presenter: Jin Wu is an emerging technologies librarian at the University of Southern California (USC) Norris Medical Library. In this role, she tracks, investigates, and uses data proactively to address emerging trends that improve library services and promote library resources.

However, as a general rule, a FOIA request can only apply to an existing public document. If you normally create a monthly report with the data she is requesting, you would likely be required to provide that to her. Or if the data exists in a document that falls within the scope of FOIA, you would be required to provide it. But, if no such document exists, you are not required to create a document to meet her information request. Here?s the relevant section of the statute: ?(5) This Act does not require a public body to create a new public record, except as required in section 11, and to the extent required by this Act for the furnishing of copies, or edited copies pursuant to section 14(1), of an already existing public record.? https://www.michigan.gov/documents/ag/FOIA_Pamphlet_380084_7.pdf Also, be aware that there have been a number of changes to the FOIA statute in the past couple of years so if you haven?t reviewed all of the changes recently, you?ll want to get up to speed on those to ensure that you?re staying compliant with the current state of the law. My 2 cents ? not legal advice and not necessarily the opinion of my employer. Good luck!

In-Reply-To: <2088602667.23989955.1473180304260.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <1049924146.24012786.1473186459946.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, You may remember last September's "big news" from OCLC, concerning their sunset of printed catalog cards effective October 1, 2015. Today I am pleased to announce a similar and certainly no less significant (to us anyway) end of one era, and the transition into a new epoch, at TLN, that being the cessation of the printing of our paper order lists, or as we have referred to them in TLN/WOLF circles for as long as I've worked here, "the list." TLN has offered its librarian prepared, monthly, electronic collection development lists, including the printed lists, as a menu service to its member libraries (and some SLC libraries, too) for a number of years. The electronic service continues to the present day, and will do so into the future. Going much further back in history, at least to the mid-1960's and perhaps even earlier, TLN and its predecessor organizations Wayne Oakland Library Federation, Wayne County Federated Library System, and Wayne County Library made available printed copies of its order lists (the adult list was produced every three weeks and the juvenile and young adult lists every six weeks in those years) to member libraries, as well as under contract to Suburban Library Cooperative and its predecessor organizations, Library Cooperative of Macomb and Macomb County Library. We pledged to continue the paper order list service alongside the electronic version until all libraries made the decision to switch to the electronic edition. That transition has now taken place, and hence effective October 1, 2016 the printed paper order lists will be no more. Long live the electronic collection development lists! So at TLN (and SLC), effective October 1, 2016, out with the paper order lists and in with the exclusively electronic collection development lists!

I'd let it go and consider it an exception to the rule. I would explain to her that your are making an exception and that it is a one time deal. Then put a note in her record stating that future fines will not be waived - that is if you are keeping her patron record in the system. Just because you waive one fine, does not mean you have to waive fines for others. Hope that helps!

We have a patron who moved and lost 3 audiobooks. We have charged her for the lost items and eventually she was sent to collections. She contacted the library and being unemployed, she has asked if she can work off the fine. She just graduated from college and is job hunting, hence she has no money to pay the fine. I approached my board with her request and they asked me to poll the group of libraries to see what your thoughts are and if anyone has ever dealt with this kind of a situation. I see that we have two choices. Either she doesn't and can't pay the fine so it sits on her account perpetually (which really does us no good or her for that matter) We let her volunteer to pay off her fine (this opens the flood gates for other people to do the same thing, also not good for us) We could of course waive the fine but that also opens a flood gate. Also, I should mention she moved out of our service area and still wants to settle her account. So we are stuck. Any wisdom from the group would be appreciated.

Tweens immediately began using their new space (eventually designed by a library designer) and made it their home. One key note: don?t put wheels on any stools. The toddlers flock to those?

A local resident sent a letter wanting our statistics for 5 years, including number of people using the library, number of cards issued, computer usage, budget and income/expense statements, and my salary. We put links to the Annual State Aid Reports on our website and I referred her to those, as allowed by FOIA. She now wants everything by the month. I explained I would have to charge her to do the work to compile those monthly numbers, and she said she doesn't care. Based on other things she and her little band who don't think Elk Rapids needs a library are doing I'm sure this is just to make things difficult.

Been pondering this question and wondered if everyone else has had the same response from Baker & Taylor in response to their price changes between the time of ordering and the time of receiving: For example, often, when ordering something through their TS360 site - they list the price, but when it actually comes - the price is higher. Most times it is not that significant, but it adds up. Today I had two that were actually each $5 higher than their advertised price. When I asked a few months ago, I was told that the prices that I see listed in their online catalog were not set in stone - and that they reserve the right to raise the price. The only way around this is to do this: Each time you want to order books, build your cart, but, instead of ordering right then and there, ask for a quote to be sent to you. This quote is good for 30 days and the prices listed in the quote will be honored. This just seems like a ploy to get you to NOT ask for a quote - because who has time to wait for that? And, in this day and age, don't you think they could get their prices changed on their website quickly. Or, do they wait until an order is placed - then go find the current price? Regardless, I don't think this is a good business practice. I make ordering decisions based on the prices that I see at that time - and it seems like false advertising to change it. Maybe it is in their fine print - but the website doesn't clearly state that the price is subject to change. Has anyone successfully asked for refunds? Thanks!

We are the Michigan host for this national program from the Library of Congress. It 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. I'll be asking for volunteer judges in the coming months.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be much that you can do in this situation under FOIA other than to know what the law does and does NOT require, and have really good rules in place and then apply them strictly and evenly. The law tends to be very much on the requestors? side except in really specific circumstances. If a real problem develops, your safest recourse is to consult your attorney, who can provide you with options based on the particular circumstances of the situation. Your attorney could also review your rules and see if there is any tweaking that could be done to assist you in these types of situations.

A local resident sent a letter wanting our statistics for 5 years, including number of people using the library, number of cards issued, computer usage, budget and income/expense statements, and my salary. We put links to the Annual State Aid Reports on our website and I referred her to those, as allowed by FOIA. She now wants everything by the month. I explained I would have to charge her to do the work to compile those monthly numbers, and she said she doesn't care. Based on other things she and her little band who don't think Elk Rapids needs a library are doing I'm sure this is just to make things difficult.

Our September free webinar list is now up and ready. Please check out all of the wonderful offerings at http://michigan.gov/libraryce . Highlights include: Wednesday, Sep. 14 (12-1 pm) Pok?mon! How Two Libraries Scored Major Points with a Game Craze (Programming Librarian) http://www.programminglibrarian.org/learn/ For 10 years, the Prince George Public Library (PGPL) in British Columbia, Canada, has hosted downtown walking tours highlighting historic buildings and landmarks. The recent "Pok?mon Go" phenomenon has led to an increase in downtown foot traffic, drawing Pok?mon players to these historic sites, many of which are Pok?stops. Seeing an opportunity for outreach, PGPL began guided "'Pok?mon Go' Walking Tours," in which players can learn about the history of Prince George while battling for gyms, collecting Pok?mon and hatching their eggs. This presentation will share how PGPL was able to work this unique mobile app into a thriving, educational program. Through simple social media posts, traditional paper marketing and some of the silliest conversations of their careers, the staff of the Pryor (Okla.) Public Library used "Pok?mon Go" to reach new library users and increase their "street cred" among current users. Learn how your library can use the game's augmented reality feature to engage patrons on social media, place lures to draw patrons and Pok?mon to the library, and create fun in-house marketing to let your patrons know that your library knows what's up. For more information and to register, visit: http://www.programminglibrarian.org/learn/ Wednesday, Sep 21 (10-11 am) Health and Wellness at Your Library (National Network of Libraries of Medicine) Public libraries are uniquely situated to play a key role in improving community health, and there are many ways to leverage existing resources and services to address health and wellness. This presentation will highlight successful consumer health services and community partnerships in two public libraries in Kansas. In addition to sharing ideas for programs and activities, we will also discuss how public librarians and medical librarians can work together to help meet the community's health information needs. Put on your thinking caps, and come prepared to join in the conversation! This session is for anyone interested in consumer health outreach, and partnerships between libraries and community organizations.

Coding is quickly gaining traction as an essential digital skill in the 21st century, and many public libraries are offering coding classes for youth and adults as a way of promoting STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The challenge is that coding is often a new skill for librarians and library staff who are responsible for offering programs. The good news is that you don't have to be an expert in computer science to offer effective educational programs that teach coding skills. There are many free resources that can be used as a guide to starting a coding club at your library, no experience required. Come to this free webinar to hear about two examples of public libraries that have offered coding clubs using free curriculum provided by library partners.

There are FREE downloadable videos from Head Start?s training webpage modeling interactions between teachers and children around language development, early literacy, cognitive development. http://www.earlylit.net/s/Head-Start-Videos-on-Language-Development.docx All are welcome to use these in whatever ways are useful to you. There are other aids if you would like to explore their website. https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc/tta-system/teaching/practice/crosswalk.html The second url has the same headings and some videos when you click on Instructional Support. The videos here are more narrative for the teacher. Those in the first url link directly to modeling the behaviors noted.

It is in the back of the Children's Room and is visible and not secluded-no doors or walls to separate it but a pergola surrounds it, so it is defined. We have the Tween music selection back there along with a CD Player so they can play music (there is a set of headphones if they want to listen privately) and we house our board and card games back there. Our Friends group donated the $$$ to purchase three big red bean bags and we have two brightly colored blue chairs also. We strung indoor lights around the top of the pergola that matches our beach theme. It is a real treat to see the tweens go back there and play Twister and play music or bring school projects back there to work on. I feel that it has given them a "hang-out" and is far enough removed from where we have the train table and the younger kid books that it makes them feel that they aren't being lumped in with the little ones. That area was not built specifically for these reasons but once our Tween programming began, we thought it would be cool to have a space for them and we could do this without spending a ton.

Does anyone have a tween space in their buildings? Is it part of either the teen or children's section? Or is it a separate area? If you have a tween area, how did you decorate it differently than the children's or teen areas to make it stand apart from the other sections? Are there things that you like or hate about your tween area? Things you would have done differently? Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

He created the Cheboygan Area Free Museum and Historical Library in 1969 and co-founded the Cheboygan County Historical Society in 1971, serving as its first president. He has also written three books on the history of the area. Ronald Hinman from White Lake will receive the Distinguished Volunteer Service Award. He has been a lifetime member of the White Lake Historical Society for more than 25 years, during which he has published a number of local history materials, videotaped interviews with White Lake residents, and compiled reference information on White Lake houses and schools. In the category of Books: University & Commercial Press, Karolyn Smardz Frost and Veta Smith Tucker will be presented a State History Award for "A Fluid Frontier: Slavery, Resistance, and the Underground Railroad in the Detroit River Borderland," which was published by Wayne State University Press. The editors describe the founding of African-Canadian settlements along the Detroit River during the early 1800s and include many individual accounts of freedom-seekers. A State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press will be presented to Michael A. McDonnell for "Masters of Empire: Great Lakes Indians and the Making of America," published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. The book details the relationships between Michigan's native tribes-involving commerce, kinship and rivalry-and how much of that early history in fact had little to do with the presence of Europeans. Holly M. Karibo will receive a State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press for "Sin City North: Sex, Drugs, and Citizenship in the Detroit-Windsor Borderland," published by The University of North Carolina Press. The book illustrates political, cultural and socioeconomic developments of the Detroit-Windsor border during the 1940s and 1950s, which saw the region quickly become the busiest crossing point between Canada and the United States. A State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press will be presented to Kevin P. Keefe for "Twelve Twenty-Five: The Life and Times of a Steam Locomotive," published by Michigan State University Press. Keefe follows a single World War II-era locomotive, the Pere Marquette 1225, through its wartime service, retirement, donation to MSU and subsequent return to steam, which exemplifies the achievement of historic preservation. James V. MacLean of Lansing will receive a State History Award for "Darius B. Moon: The History of a Michigan Architect, 1880-1910," published by SoloVerso Press, in the category of Books: Private Printing. Drawing from family records, archival sources and local histories, MacLean has assembled a comprehensive compilation of houses designed by Moon. The book offers comprehensive accounts of each house and, when available, biographies of notable citizens who lived there. M. Christine Byron and Thomas R. Wilson of Grand Rapids will receive a State History Award in the category of Books: Private Printing for their work "Vintage Views Along Scenic M-22 Including Sleeping Bear Dunes," which was published by Vintage Views Press. The book follows one of northern Michigan's most scenic routes, providing for vacationers a unique historical travel resource complete with vintage maps, photographs and postcards. In the category of Books: Children & Youth, author and illustrator Cindy Yawkey of Vandalia will be presented with a State History Award for "They Have My Shoes, I Have My Freedom: A Story About the Underground Railroad." The book describes how abolitionists, fugitive slaves, free blacks and Quakers came together in Cass County to combat slavery during the 19th century. The 2016 Communications: Websites Award will be presented to the University of Michigan Heritage Project, coordinated by the offices of the president and vice president for global communications as well as the Bentley Historical Library. The project features a collection of multimedia stories that provide a digital experience of the university's past and serves to identify relationships between the state of Michigan and its oldest university. The State History Award for Education: Educator will be presented to John R. Beck of Mattawan. As a high school teacher at Heritage Christian Academy in Kalamazoo, Beck is dedicated to expanding and improving the study of history. He created a freshman high school Michigan history class at Heritage Christian Academy; founded a school-wide Heritage History Club Speaker Series; mentored fellow Michigan history teachers; and utilized local, state and national resources to prepare his students to pursue history following their graduation. The State History Award for Institutions will be awarded to the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library Special Collections Department. Its special collections department houses an incomparable collection of photographs and documents pertaining to Michigan's lumber industry, Great Lakes maritime history, and the cultural history of Michigan's northeastern Lower Peninsula. The library's holdings also include oral histories that range from stories of one-room schoolhouses and workplace conditions to musicians and music educators. The Yankee Air Museum will be awarded a State History Award for the category of Restoration/Preservation. Located on the grounds of the Willow Run airport in Belleville, Mich., the museum serves to preserve the World War II-era history of Detroit as America's "Arsenal of Democracy," Rosie the Riveter and wartime aviation in southeast Michigan. After raising $8 million in two years, the Yankee Air Museum was able to purchase and preserve a section of the Willow Run Bomber Plant, which now tells the story of "How Detroit Saved the World." The "Black Voices in the Copper Country" Series will be awarded the 2016 Special Programs/Events Award. Developed by staff members of the Michigan Technological University Archives and Copper Country Historical Collections, Lindsay Hiltunen, Martin Hobmeier and Mike Stockwell, the program illustrates the African-American experience in Keweenaw County through historical source analysis, community involvement and exhibits. While much of the research done on Michigan's Copper Country focuses on industry, business and immigration, "Black Voices" seeks to identify cultural diversity in the region's history. The Mount Clemens Public Library and Macomb Cable Network will receive the 2016 Media Award for the local history video series "A Minute of Your Time." In anticipation of Macomb County's bicentennial, the two institutions partnered to develop a video series to educate the public about the area's history, raise public awareness of the county's historical assets, promote interest in historic preservation and generate the interest of youth in local history. "The KKK in 1920s Michigan" by Frank J. Boles of Mount Pleasant received the 2016 Best Article in Michigan History magazine. The article appeared in the Jul/Aug 2016 issue. It describes how the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan entered Michigan by way of Detroit in 1921, quickly spreading throughout the state, and recruited larger numbers of members by promoting the purity of the white race, Protestant Christianity and "100% Americanism." The article focuses specifically on the impact of the KKK on Newaygo County during the 1920s. # # # -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Parker in particular) and other writers have picked up the deceased author's series and continued to write it. Looking at our catalog, it looks like half of the libraries are under the original series author and half are under the new author's name. Currently, ours are strictly under the author's last name but they are numbered as part of the same series. However, I am considering putting them under the series author instead of the book author and I wanted to know what other libraries are doing... How are you cataloging these new additions to the series? Are you putting it under the new author in the fiction section because they are technically the author of the books and patrons might discover other books by that author at the same time? Or are you putting it under the original author that created the series because patrons would expect to find the whole series in the same section? Or are you putting the whole series under the series title to keep them together? Or are you doing something completely different?

Smith moved to New York where he played with some big names such as organist Shirley Scott, drummer Joe Chambers and multi-saxophonist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. For years, Smith bounced around from New York to New Jersey to Detroit (where he sunk roots after his mother moved here) and back. Larry had a special relationship with one the all-time great sax players - Sonny Stitt. ?Sonny knew & encouraged Larry going back to his teenage years, when passing through Pennsylvania. ?This lead to Larry touring with Sonny as a regular member of his group. ?Quite an honer for a man that plays the same instrument as the leader! In Detroit he lead his own bands & also played in Detroit jazz master Roy Brooks Artistic Truth band. ?Larry has a reputation as an old-school keeper of the bebop flame and a killer when it comes to the blues. As Charles Latimer said in the Metro Time "his specialty is ballads. He shuts his eyes, hunches his shoulders, and holds his saxophone like a prom date. The ballads are so touching they'd make the devil cry." Larry appears as ?a special guest on James Carter's 1996 Conversin' with the Elders & Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge disc, released in 2004. ?He has also toured with the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin.? Drummer RJ Spangler has appeared on over 60 recordings and has toured the US, Canada & Europe quite a few times. ?He lectures on Detroit jazz & blues history and ?beyond his trio, he leads the Planet D Nonet swing band as well as a blues band. ?His latest release is "This Is What We Do" w/ the RJ Spangler on the Eastlawn label. Guitarist Oliver Nevels is another veteran player whom has recorded & toured nationally with organist Charles Earland, appearing on two of his CDs, including "I Ain't Jivin' I'm Jammin" for the legendary Muse label. He also toured with organist Richard "Groove" Holmes. ? Bassist Greg Cook is a Detroit main stay, having proven himself playing with the top of Detroit's jazz scene: Geri Allen, Roy Brooks & Marcus Belgrave & many others. ?He toured Europe with soul great Bettye LeVette and held down the bass chair in Rat Pack show for countless performances. ?

This interactive webcast will last one hour and take place at 2 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016. Thanks to the good work of the ALA's Washington Office and others, there may be far more money available to libraries through the federal E-rate program. To take advantage of that, however, libraries must first adopt an internet safety policy that includes "technology protection measures"-filtering. This panel will address the details of the E-rate expansion, summarize the history of ALA and filtering, raise some new issues about specific filtering approaches and offer practical suggestions for libraries who may wish to pursue this new funding opportunity. See http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2016/08/filtering-man-middle-al-live-interactive-webcast for more info. The webinar is free but registration is required.

If you're looking for programs that focus on fun things to do right here in our own state, I'd highly recommend Ron. His presentations feature beautiful photography, historical information, and humorous anecdotes. His prices are very reasonable, as well.

William Kamkwamba. The Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library has chosen William Kamkwamba?s The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind as this year?s Alpena Reads book. Tickets for William Kamkwamba?s Alpena Reads author talk are now on sale at the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.alpenalibrary.org or by calling 989-356-6188, ext. 10. Tickets are $10 each. William?s true-life story is amazing. In 2000, when he was thirteen years old, famine struck his home country of Malawi. His family went hungry and lost their livelihood when the crops failed. The following year he was forced to drop out of school because his family could no longer afford his tuition. Fearing a life of ignorance and poverty, the young teen turned to the tiny three-shelf library in his village in search of books he hoped would help him keep up with his friends. In these books, he found his dream: He would build a windmill that would produce power to light his home and irrigate his family?s crops. With insufficient English skills and no teacher, he taught himself the basics of physics and electrical engineering using diagrams in the books. At fourteen, against all odds, he built an electricity-generating windmill that eventually drew the attention of the world. Kamkwamba?s visit will be the culmination of a community-wide read of his book The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, a non-fiction account of how famine and hardship in his home country of Malawi inspired Kamkwamba to build a windmill that changed his life and his community.

The Secretary of State's office now houses a tool that can help parents protect children and teens when they are on their electronic devices. We are hoping libraries will consider sharing the article below with your patrons via library websites and newsletters. Attached is the logo and a photo if you'd like to include them. Much thanks! Parents have new tool to protect children and teens With cell phones and the Internet, today's kids have an easy connection to the outside world. It's like a huge playground without a fence and that makes protecting kids so much harder. The reality of the digital world is that children and teens are regularly inundated with electronic advertisements promoting alcohol, tobacco, pornography and gambling. The companies behind these ads are increasingly using text messaging as their marketing strategy of choice, though they often don't know the age of the recipients. Thankfully, parents now have some help to stop these ads. The Michigan Child Protection Registry offered through the Michigan Secretary of State's office is a free service that blocks adult ads from reaching emails, mobile phones and Instant Messenger IDs belonging to children and teens. Similar to the federal Do Not Call List, the Michigan Child Protection Registry is a free do-not-contact service for Michigan residents. Signing-up takes only seconds and the information entered is kept secure and private. Protect your child today. Cathleen Simlar Cathleen P.

She was by her own words "brainwashed" into thinking Hitler was a god as a member of the Hitler Youth and believed everything he said. She was "de-Nazifide" after the war and later married an American soldier. The program drew a huge crowd and the audience was enthralled by the talk and !&A. On October 1, Larry invites Don Mericle, a United States Navy Gunner's Mate aboard the USS Cofer APD-62. He will talk about his assignment on the Destroyer escort; invasions; and rescues during his enlistment. Martin will also have a collection of World War II memorabilia on display. This presentation is free and open to the public. Mr. Martin has presented a 4-part series at Jackson District Library for the past 10 years bringing over 4,000 people to see and hear about personal experiences from Veterans who served in WWII and how the war had affected citizens from different walks of life. If your library is interested in hosting one of Larry's presentations, he can be reached at batt.chief at yahoo.com and more information can be found on his website: LMWW2.com Donna Donna Smith Marketing Officer [JDL Logo CMYK for print 300dpi small] 244 W.

Sasha Issenberg, author of The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns will deliver the keynote and presenters from Amazon, the State of Michigan, the Van Andel Institute, Dell, Cloudera, and more offer a variety of topics in breakout sessions. Not quite sure? The videos at http://www.bigdataignite.com/promo-video/ will tell you a bit more about what to expect and at the end of the second there's a 25% discount code you can use.

I am particularly interested in libraries that do not have a security person in the building and/or those that are a distance from the nearest law enforcement agency. We had a Board member suggest that perhaps the library desk should stock pepper spray for emergencies (such as a person who enters the building and starts attacking patrons). It was suggested I find out what other libraries are doing to train their staff and protect patrons in the event of an active assault of any kind. We do have a Policy for patron behavior, but it assumes that staff will be able to approach the patron and ask them to leave and/or issue a verbal warning that they will be calling the police. In the question above, we are assuming that reasoning with the person is not an option and response time may be long. Thank you!

We have had training on the University of Michigan by the campus police. It was great training about what to do and what not to do. I think every library or organization should have their own setup based on local needs. This might be a good opportunity to reach out to the local police to see what they suggest. While the board members will make suggestions that have good intent, connecting with the police might be the best way forward. Here's hoping no one needs to use the training you might get!

The ALA has a free presentation available on the topic of preventing violence in the Library: http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/archive/prevention This presentation includes many tips for how to handle threatening and aggressive patrons as well as certain violent acts. Under Michigan law, it is possible that a library could be liable for injuries to an alleged assailant by a staff member. The answer to this depends greatly on the facts of a particular scenario, but the possibility does exist. Contacting your local police department for advice and training is an excellent idea. A clear policy/procedure (designed with input from police or an attorney), and training for staff on the policy/procedure is also a good idea. Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

I?m all for learning more about making healthy choices, however, this makes me feel a little uncomfortable. We have partnered with our local hospital on these types of community presentations, but since it is the hospital, I don?t have the same concerns. I?m curious if other libraries have also been approached by natural medicine people? If you did partner with them do you require some type of legal disclaimer? (Liking checking with your doctor before making medical decisions)? I?m feeling like this is not something I want to get involved in but I?m curious to hear from others who have faced this same issue. Thanks in advance for your input. Sheila Sheila M.

I saw this on Gongwers this morning and thought it might be of some interest . While this legislation is not specifically pertaining to Libraries, the prospect of more transparency with respect to Tax Capture is a notion that is welcome both to protect Library Funding - and to perhaps create awareness of avenues for library/DDA partnerships.(?) https://shar.es/1xvGzP Bill To Require Reporting By Tax Capture Authorities Wins Senate Committee OK Tax capture entities like downtown development authorities would have to report information about their activities to the Department of Treasury and hold regular open informational meetings under legislation approved Tuesday by a Senate committee. These entities have come under greater scrutiny in recent years. They have the power to capture growth in tax revenues from within the district since the creation of the specific entity, siphoning off revenues from the larger city, township, village or county. The bill, SB 1026[*], would require each municipality that created an authority to establish a webpage with access to the authority's records and budget documents, annual audits, the authority's current contracts, authority staff contact information and the currently adopted tax increment finance plan, among other information. The webpage would have to include an explanation for any funds accumulated over five years, a list of authority accomplishments, a list of authority projects and investments and a list of authority events and promotional campaigns. The bill also would require the authority to file with Treasury data about its revenue collections, fund balance, expenditures and amount of principal and interest on any outstanding debt, among other information. Under the bill, Treasury could bar noncomplying authorities from capturing new revenue beyond that needed to make debt payments. The Economic Development and International Investment Committee reported the bill on a 6-0 vote.Sen. Jim Stamas (R-Midland) did not vote on the bill. - See more at: http://www.gongwer.com/programming/news.cfm?article_ID=551850107#sthash.xB0AFzjr.9Q01q67m.dpuf Michigan Report for Tuesday, September 20, 2016 This message was sent using ShareThis (http://www.sharethis.com) Clare Clare D.

I wanted to clarify the News information I sent on the pending Michigan Legislation on transparency for Tax Capture entities. I want to be sure that readers don't confuse the legislation in the story today with the longstanding legislation SB 579 and SB 619-624. SB 579 and SB 619-624 are the bills that will provide the opt out provisions for Libraries. The bill discussed in the story this morning, SB 1026, while interesting from a FOIA perspective, is only a bill that will provide some transparency - it is NOT related to the far more important and library-related SB 579 and SB 619-624. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

By that, I mean a bank of unused vacation hours that staffers can donate to, that can be used by other employees in specific or crisis circumstances (temporary disability, grief leave, FMLA, etc.) If you do have a vacation bank, would you be willing to share your policies and procedures on it's use and how you administer it?

Maybe Not, At Least Not Yet In-Reply-To: <1390855110.26288724.1474639924471.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <1289712174.26304966.1474644158811.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, In September, 2011 OverDrive rocked the book world (digital and print) with this announcement: OverDrive and Amazon launch Kindle? compatibility with Library eBooks. Wow! It was a huge deal at the time, and served to really propel eBooks into the forefront. Tons of people found Kindle eReaders under the tree the morning of December 25, and they promptly took them to the library to ask "how do I make it go?" on December 26. The demise of the physical book was certainly not far off, just as in 1979 (if you are old enough to remember when this was released, then that means you are 40+...omg) the end of radio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwuy4hHO3YQ was at hand, too. Fast forward five years later. OverDrive still retains its exclusive deal with Amazon, although the release of newer Kindle products has meant this exclusivity is less relevant today. But what else is going on? For some time we have been reading as to how sales of eBoooks are flat, or stagnant, or some other term meaning they either are not increasing or if so, very slowly. What is popular today? Audiobooks and print books! http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/23/business/media/audiobooks-turn-more-readers-into-listeners-as-e-books-slip.html?_r=0 eBooks are mainstream in both the library and consumer markets now. That is not going to change. But "the digital shift" seems to have slowed, at least for now. And although this isn't discussed in the NYT piece, other articles I've read have pointed out that it isn't just "old people" (I can use that term on account I'm either getting there, or depending on how you define it already there, myself) who are hanging on to their killed tree format. Millenials, that much talked about group of people that now outnumber the boomers, are also discovering pBooks and finding them to be pretty cool. Who would have thunk?

It was very simple, will work for the following period of time for the following salary. It was renewed once a year at my evaluation and was always renewed for two years. Any benefits or other things that were different from the library's standard benefit package were covered in a separate memorandum of understanding at the time of hire. Superintendent contracts are common, might be a place to search for examples. Connie On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 10:34 AM, Nannette Miller wrote: > This has always been very confusing for me.

Deborah Lieder is a local chef focused on whole foods for a healthy lifestyle. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained some of the cell science behind highly processed foods and their effects on our bodies. She touched on GMOs, pesticides, and the pros and cons of today's most popular diets. Overall, it was an excellent wellbeing segment that I highly recommend to our neighbor libraries. Deborah was reasonably priced and absolutely wonderful! Here's a scan of her business card if anyone would like to contact her for a segment.

Riley presents the annual award, including $2,000 in privately-donated funds, October 28 at the Michigan Library Association's annual conference in Lansing. "Michigan libraries are doing amazingly creative things to serve their communities," Riley said. "Benzonia Public Library has been able to provide its users with an experience that rivals or exceeds those offered by much larger or greater-funded library systems." The Library of Michigan Foundation and Library of Michigan (LM) present the State Librarian's Excellence and Citations of Excellence awards each year to highlight the importance of services provided by Michigan's libraries. This year's Citations of Excellence went to the Troy Public Library (TPL) and Orion Township Public Library (OTPL). Each library receives $1,000 as a Citation of Excellence winner. The State Librarian's Excellence Award is sponsored by Roger Mendel and his late wife June. The Citation of Excellence Awards are funded by Martin L. Gibbs in memory of his late wife, Carole Sorenson and the Library of Michigan Foundation in recognition of former Executive Director Carolyn "Sparky" Mowery. "The staff, board, volunteers and friends of Benzonia Public Library could not be more delighted with this incredible honor," said Benzonia Public Library Director Amanda McLaren. "It is always our goal to give our best to our community. Our community is our purpose, our focus and our inspiration." Riley said BPL's proactive, collaborative approach to establishing meaningful partnerships in its community is a model for other libraries of all sizes. Some BPL programs and partnerships include: * Selected by the University of Michigan School of Information to host a three-day "Making in Michigan Libraries" workshop * Partnering with three other Benzie county libraries to offer the Great Benzie Read Program * In response to an increase in local teen overdoses and suicides, worked with a local child psychiatrist to offer a session on childhood depression * Teamed with Frankfort Community Credit Union to offer a program during Money Smart Week * The Summer Reading program "Building S.T.E.A.M. at the Benzonia Public Library" provided weekly sessions focusing on science, technology, engineering, art or mathematics * Active member of the Crystal Lake Community Business Association * Presented the "Power Tool Basics for Women" program State Librarian's Excellence Award evaluation factors include: demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in a cost-effective manner, with a can-do attitude; always delivering on promises; and fulfilling the library's commitment to high standards of customer service. In earning Citations of Excellence, the Troy and Orion Township libraries also are recognized for customer service. TPL has embraced its community's teens and challenged them to help make the library more teen-friendly, to grow the next generation of users and to improve services overall. Young patrons responded enthusiastically and actively took on more "ownership" of the facility. OTPL strives to provide superior service with a goal to engage a thriving community of lifelong learners. It successfully has positioned itself as a community gathering and learning place where children, teens, entrepreneurs, educators and seniors are all welcome. OTPL received the first annual Library of Congress Award from the Michigan Department of Education for its work on early literacy initiatives. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 175 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

If so, consider attending the free ?Memoir Writing Workshop? at Henry Ford Centennial Library, 16301 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, in Room 30 on Wednesday, September 28, 6-8 p.m. R.J. Fox?a Dearborn native, graduate of Edsel Ford High School and University of Michigan-Dearborn, and author of *Love & Vodka: My Surreal Adventures in the Ukraine*?will offer advice on how to write your own memoir. ?There is nothing in life that can't be turned into a story,? says Fox. ?You don't have to be famous to write memoir. You don't even need to have a profound experience to write about. Sometimes, the most mundane memories from our life can make for the most interesting, relatable experiences?if written in an entertaining and thought-provoking way.? He also points out: ?In many ways, memoir writing is similar to movies based on real-life people. There is usually a mutual understanding that not all of it can be 100% exactly the way it happened. You are not a news reporter. Nor is the audience expecting you to be.? Fox will be selling copies of his book at the end of the program. So, if you?re interested in writing your own memoir, or if you want to learn more about this author?s "charming chronicle,?* please stop by. No registration necessary. *Quote taken from Thomas BeVier?s review on forewordreviews.com Thank you!

Preview Screening Event at/ Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library *Sunday, October 9 at 2 p.m.* *//*A preview screening of///Hamilton?s America, /the documentary film that brings history to vivid life through the lens of Lin-Manuel Miranda?s pop culture Broadway phenomenon /Hamilton/ ? winner of 11 Tony Awards? and the Pulitzer Prize ? will be held at Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library on Sunday, October 9 at 2 p.m. David Nicholas, CMU Public Radio producer and host of ?Mosaic,? will co-host the event on Sunday and follow up on Monday with a live broadcast from 9 a.m. to noon from the Library. The public is encouraged to attend both events.Highlights of the 2016 PBS Arts Fall Festival will also be shared. The story of Alexander Hamilton is most remembered for its dramatic conclusion, which saw Hamilton killed in a duel by Vice President Aaron Burr. But the full story of this political genius ? a poor immigrant who built himself up from nothing to become one of the nation?s most vital architects ? has largely been forgotten by history?until now. Today, Hamilton?s fan club is vocal and growing, thanks, in no small measure, to Tony?, Grammy?, and Emmy?-winning composer and actor, Lin-Manuel Miranda?s revolutionary musical. With its young cast claiming America?s history as its own, /Hamilton /is redefining how audiences learn about history. The programshows just how timeless the hot-button issues of today?s America are: immigration, States? rights, debt, income inequality, and race relations. These were the same fights that defined Hamilton?s time, and they are the driving force of Miranda?s historic work. The film endeavors to brush the dust off American history, much as the musical does, and provide a unique new way for us to view our national heritage and current political landscape. A unique window into the artistry and research involved in making the show, viewers will witness Miranda at the White House in 2009 performing an early version of what would become ?Alexander Hamilton,? the first number in the musical and they will also be given an inside view of Miranda as he composes songs in Aaron Burr?s Manhattan bedroom. They will travel to Virginia with *Christopher Jackson* ?who was Tony?-nominated for his portrayal of George Washington in the musical ?as he reveals his personal struggle preparing for the role, while grappling with our Founder?s legacy of slavery. Back in New York, Miranda, who originated the Tony?-nominated role of Hamilton in the musical and *Leslie Odom, Jr.* ? who won a Tony Award? for his portrayal of Aaron Burr ? visit the Museum of American Finance to get a deeper understanding of the historical figures they are depicting on stage, including a memorable moment from this research trip, when the two actors brandish authentic 19^th -century dueling pistols. ?Hamilton?s America? airs on CMU Public Television October 21 at 9 p.m. ** ** *Make plans now to attend more ?Hamilton? - related events at the Library!* */All events are free and open to the public./* *October 2nd, 2:00 pm* *Rise Up!

Register today for Oct. 4 webinar on "Merging a Friends and Foundation" United for Libraries will present a webinar on "Merging a Friends and Foundation" from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, Oct. 4. In the library world today, there is a huge need for support organizations - friends and foundations - but often the lines between these two groups are blurred and their work counter-productive. In this webinar, presenters Peter Pearson and Sue Hall will discuss the difference in the roles of friends and foundations and identify areas where there can be conflict - and present strategies for minimizing conflict. They will also address the question "When is it time for the two organizations to merge?" and share solutions for engaging in a merger process that minimizes pain and maximizes potential. Pearson and Hall will also talk about national challenges and trends for friends and foundations. To register, visit www.ala.org/united/training/webinars. Webinar participants will learn: * What is happening to friends groups and foundations across the country; * To identify the signs that your support organizations should consider merging; * What a merged organization should look like; * How to conduct a process that honors members of both organizations; * How to ensure that the newly-merged organization is successful. Peter Pearson is the president of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library (the Library's foundation) and Lead Consultant with Library Strategies. One of the leading experts on library development and advocacy in the U.S., Pearson has led The Friends for nearly 25 years and is recognized as one of the most successful library fundraisers in the country. Sue Hall is the director of Library Strategies, a consulting group of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library. Hall has more than 20 years of experience working with libraries and library organizations in the areas of fundraising, strategic planning and capacity building.

The Board of Trustees of the Arapahoe Library District seeks a creative and visionary leader-an engaged and energetic administrator-committed to ensuring that the Arapahoe Library District continues to provide innovative library services for this diverse and culturally rich library district. The District was established in 1966 by the Arapahoe County Commissioners and the Deer Trail School Board, but is an independent taxing jurisdiction, governed by an appointed Board of Trustees. The Arapahoe Library District encompasses most of Arapahoe County and provides service to 619,000 suburban and rural residents in the service area . Arapahoe Libraries take great pride in their knowledgeable staff, top-notch facilities, the services they offer, and the information, fun, and entertainment they deliver. With a $32 million annual budget (the result of a successful mill levy increase in 2015) and a staff of 295 (244 FTEs), Arapahoe Libraries welcomed 1.9 million visitors to its eight libraries and its mobile and virtual services, and loaned 4.74 million items last year-and they can't wait to see where they go from here! The Library District is enthusiastically supported in its efforts by the Arapahoe Library Friends' Foundation-raising additional funds from the private sector and serving as the District's advocacy group. The Foundation and the vital Friends of the Arapahoe Library District, support a delightful array of library programs, services and experiences. Are you the exceptional individual ready to lead this dynamic organization? Let's find out! And who doesn't want to be in Arapahoe County/the greater Denver area?

More than 631,000 people call Arapahoe County, the third largest county in Colorado, home. It's a county of contrasts-the western part of the County is mostly urban/suburban with residential, retail, office and industrial areas, while the eastern portion is relatively rural. Arapahoe County claims some of the nation's largest high tech and communication companies. The Denver Tech Center and Centennial Airport are vital to the area's healthy economy and provide thousands of jobs to area residents. With nine school districts, a wide variety of housing choices, and a moderate cost of living, people enjoy a local quality of life that includes excellent parks, greenbelts and trail systems, fine food, a healthy lifestyle and superior public services.

We had a 4-person group finish in an hour & a half. Subsequent contests have had teams finish in 2 hours or a little more than 2 hours. (We usually have a team finish by lunch, then it just becomes a free-for-all when everyone hops to other teams to help them finish up their puzzles.

Forgot to add, you asked how many people have participated. We started with 4 teams the first time we offered it. We grew to 7 or 8 teams, I think, this winter when we did Puzzle Palooza IV. There's usually 3 or 4 to a team. Usually, when I have enough leftover prizes from Adult Summer Reading, I'd give out second place winner prizes if we have more that 5 teams participating. Like I said though, the cool part is that after the first and second teams win, everyone just goes around the room and starts helping all the other teams finish up.

We have a Simple Scan Station (http://www.simplescanstation.com/) in our adult public computer area that is theoretically self-serve. 2. We have a traditional fax machine in the staff office area for staff to use or if something were to happen and our Simple Scan was unable to be used. 3. We urge patrons to use the Simple Scan on their own and ask for help if it's required. I've found that most patrons will ask for help before attempting to use the public fax because they are confused by it or intimidated. 4. The Simple Scan really is very easy (and also scans to email, USB, and Google Docs), but it is rare that a patron doesn't need help using it. So in terms of staff time saved, maybe not a lot.

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!

The Township has always handled our payroll and vendor checks for free, but is now considering charging us an administrative fee for these services. They will not let us run our own system because they say it needs to tie into their system for legal reasons. Does any other library pay an administrative fee for these services?

We'll kick off the event (yes, pun intended) with a Tailgate Party (festivities enhanced by the Morenci High School band and cheerleaders), then go inside for brief welcoming remarks by a few speakers, a short talk by the very entertaining Dr. Thomas Henthorn from UM-Flint, a Coaches and Players chat and then a fun "ribbon cutting" involving the band, cheerleaders and some of the football players. That will be followed by viewing the Smithsonian exhibit, a local exhibit, and wonderful sports-related art created by last year's Morenci High School students under art teacher Kym Ries. You'll be wowed by this exhibit...even if you don't care a whit about sports. I hope you can join us! And, if you can't come Sunday, be sure to visit us later!

This day-long, multi-state event will take place both in Lansing, Michigan and Indianapolis, Indiana. Speakers and participants will interact both in-person and remotely. The summit will feature a BIBFRAME overview and update from Beacher Wiggins (Director for Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access, Library of Congress) and a presentation from Linked Data industry leader Zepheira on the implications for libraries. This summit is an opportunity for librarians to explore the possibilities of what a fully integrated Linked Data world means for libraries and our communities. This event will also provide updates and presentations exploring what is already happening to make that possibility a reality. We invite program proposals from September 14, 2016 to November 7, 2016. Proposed programs should be either 20 minutes or 45 minutes in length, including time for questions. Proposals should be grounded in experience. They may explore projects, plans, collaborations, data analysis as well as other aspects of Linked Data creation and implementation. Proposals could relate to, but are not restricted to, any of the following topics: * A single library?s experience participating in a Linked Data project, such as Zepheira?s Libhub Early Adopter Program or the Library.Link Network * A Linked Data demonstration project in a shared catalog environment * Experience with a specific Linked Data product (e.g., SirsiDynix BLUEcloud Visibility, Innovative Linked Data) * Advocacy for Linked Data with vendors * Libraries engaging with wider Linked Data community efforts, outside of libraries * Linked Data related research and standards activities * What your library is doing to prepare for the Linked Data environment?Planning your linked data project * Exposing cultural heritage collections to the web via Linked Data * Incorporating linked data into technical services workflows * Analytics to capture uses of the Linked Data * Technical advice * Innovative ways to use Linked Data that further your library?s goals and create engaging experiences for your digital users Please submit a 200 word maximum proposal for your presentation. In the submission form there is a field to indicate from where, Indianapolis or Lansing, you would like to present. Program proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee.

The vast majority of these items are reference books in very good condition, with subjects spanning the entire Dewey range.

Monday, October 10: 9:30am - 8:00pm Tuesday, October 11: 9:30am - 8:00pm Wednesday, October 12: 9:30am - 8:00pm When you arrive to take look at the reference materials, please check in at the reference desk and the librarians there will direct you to the shelving ranges with the free items.

(You must take the microfilm to take the cabinets.) Our NYT microfilm collection spans: 1852 - 1864 1920 - 2009 Finally, we are also offering a used atlas stand, of which there are photos attached.

Could you have a separate event for those who might object? I know that would be double planning, and these people can choose not to come to the other. Just a thought. Carol speaking of my own personal bias these comments do not reflect the library's.
