As part of the effort to raise awareness, I had the opportunity to be interviewed about school library media specialists in Michigan by Michael Patrick Shiels on the Michigan Big Show Radio Show. The interview aired last week Thursday morning. Here is the direct link: https://www.spreaker.com/user/5707063/kathy-lester-school- library-media-specia I did not know the exact questions that he would be asking me ahead of time; so, I missed a few things that I would have like to have said for instance - along with being 46th in 4th Grade NAEP Reading Proficiency Scores, Michigan is 47th is the ratio of students per media specialist. In addition, only approximately 8% of our schools employ a full-time media specialist. In any case, I hope that I was able to highlight the important work of school library media specialists and wanted to share this interview with all of you. Thank you to so many of you who have supported and continue to support all libraries in our state! --Kathy Lester Kathy Lester, MLIS, MA *Advocacy Chair, Past-President 2014* Michigan Association for Media in Education (MAME) *School Library Media Specialist / Technology Coach* East Middle School, Plymouth-Canton Schools *2012 **State Librarian's Excellence Award Winner* kathyL at mimame.org 810.333.5873 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I wanted to remind everyone to take Action *today* (if you have not already) to request our Michigan representatives to sign the Dear Appropriation Letters for LSTA/IAL. The services that the Library of Michigan provides through LSTA funds (*including MeL*) are critical to my students, all students in the state, and all residents in the state. I know that both Randy Riley and Shannon White shared information on the depth of services that are provided to Michigan libraries and residents through LSTA funds. It looks like the only Michigan Representatives who have signed the current letter for LSTA, thus far, are Deborah Dingell and Sander Levin. Please consider taking action today.

This Month's Wisdom... "Any program that you hold that includes music or singing songs will be helpful for phonological awareness." ~Sue McCleaf Nespeca Early Literacy Programs for Preschoolers (that are not storytimes) [art]In previous newsletters storytimes for different ages (babies, toddlers and preschoolers) have been covered along with ideas for early literacy tips. But what about other programs that can be held for preschoolers or a mixed age group of children that may be literature-based, but are not specifically storytimes per se? Can they have benefits for early literacy skills? Any program that you hold that includes music or singing songs will be helpful for phonological awareness. Creative dramatics allows many opportunities for narrative skills; art projects help children develop small motor skills which are needed when they learn to write letters, and STEAM projects are helpful for vocabulary and narrative skills. So almost any program that you do that includes any of these elements is beneficial for early literacy. But again, for these programs to be of value for early literacy, the parents should also be in attendance ? just like they are in storytime programs. So what types of activities do you include in a non-storytime program? Always include books in some way --- if you are not sharing a story or stories, then at least have a related book display. Always try to include singing and music, as that is important for so many early literacy skills. Here are just a few examples of programs you could do. 1. Music Program (share song picture books, play musical instruments, make simple instruments) 2. Folk Tale Fun (share folk tales and then have children act out stories with simple puppets OR props) 3. Open-Ended Art Program (share some books first by a certain well-known author/illustrator [Eric Carle, Denise Fleming, etc.] and then have children create open-ended art similar to the illustrator?s art ) 4. Nursery Rhyme Time (share rhymes, songs based on nursery rhymes, picture book versions of rhymes, games related to nursery rhyme characters) 5. STEM Programs with different simple science activities 6. How to Make My Garden Grow (share picture book stories on gardens/gardening, plant seeds, make seed pictures) 7. Pets (share stories on pets, bring in a speaker on how to take care of pets etc., have stuffed animal pet show; also, Pet Buddy Program) 8. Let?s Build (share books on construction equipment and have children build things with Lincoln Logs, Duplo?s, Legos etc. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Scoop book]Here are three books from 2016 and 2017 that would be great for a preschool program related to construction: Push! Dig! Scoop! A Construction Counting Rhyme. Rhonda Gowler Greene. Bloomsbury, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-8027-3506-5. $16.99. The text follows the cadence of the song ?Over in the meadow, in a pond in the sun, lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one?? Here we have ?Over by the dirt pile in the sizzling summer sun, works a mama bulldozer with her little dozer one. ?Push!? says the mama. ?I push!? says the one. So they push oosh oosh in the sizzling summer sun.? So of course, you could sing this book the whole way through. Other equipment includes an excavator, a wheel loader, a dump truck, a pipe layer, a cement mixer, a crane, a grader, an asphalt paver, and a steam roller. This is a good counting book for fans of construction trucks. It is an obvious companion to the book below, and also a good match with Old MacDonald Had a Truck by Steve Goetz (ISBN: 978-1452132600; reviewed previously in previous newsletter.) [Mighty Book] Might, Mighty Construction Site. Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Lichtenheld. Chronicle, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-4521-5216-5. $16.99. This is a companion book to the New York Times Notable Children?s Book Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by the same author and illustrator. ?Down in the big construction site, five trucks wake to morning light. It?s time to s-t-r-e-t-c-h, roll out of bed, and gear up for the day ahead!? At the end of the day we find that ?Cooperation got it done; teamwork made it fast ? and fun!? This rhyming sequel is sure to please fans of the first book. A definite hit! And here is a new dinosaur book from the wonderful series by Jane Yolen that centers on pets and can be used for a program on pets: How Do Dinosaurs Choose Their Pets? Jane Yolen & Mark Teague. Blue Sky Press, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-338-03278-9. $16.99. Another New York Times bestselling series where every entry is a winner! As with the other titles in this series, the text is in rhyme with only one or two sentences per page which makes it appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers. Also, like in the other entries, the dinosaur?s name is hidden somewhere on each page. Here the dinosaur at first tries to bring home inappropriate pets such as a boa constrictor, a kangaroo, or a manatee, until he settles on more appropriate pets such as a kitten, hamster or pup. This is a perfect book to add to a storytime or program about pets. [Dinosaur book] ________________________________ Websites of the Month [Handprints]Want some ideas on programs to plan for preschoolers that are not necessarily storytimes? You might consider consulting some sites from the preschool education world. All of the below could be useful when planning thematic non-storytime programs. The Show Me Librarian site by Amy Koester lists 11 program ideas for preschoolers. Particularly helpful is the ?All Things STEAM? section. If you ?click? on it, you will find numerous different STEAM programs for preschoolers. Tons of themes on the Everything Preschool site are presented in an alphabetical listing. Under each theme are programming ideas. For example, if you wanted to have a summer beach time party, you could ?click? on the beach theme and find: songs; art projects; book suggestions; games; science ideas; coloring pages and more. The Activity Idea Place has tons of preschool lesson plans which may give ideas for planning a program. For example, under ?Dinosaurs,? there are ideas for: art projects; math/science/game ideas; and songs. Preschool Express has 16 different theme ideas for these types of parties: farm; dinosaur; hat; ?things that go;? gingerbread; fishing; camping and teddy bears and more. Reflections... ________________________________ [Grand Hotel]This is going to be a personal reflection rather than anything related to early literacy. This is the second year of the Library of Michigan?s grant for early literacy, funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and I just concluded my last travel to your great state. I will be doing newsletters the rest of the year and webinars, but my travel is done. I really had not been to Michigan much before this ? once, many, many years ago I spoke at Flint and another time at Jackson. But I traveled to those spots and did not see any sites or really any scenery. Now, because of this grant, last year I was in Southfield, Grand Rapids, Traverse City and Mackinac Island. This year, Grand Rapids, Plymouth, Bay City and Marquette. I discovered that Michigan is really two states, not one. I learned that in the Upper Peninsula, when they say ?this road/rest stop/etc. is closed until spring,? that they are lying, because they are still closed during spring! Or otherwise, folks in the Upper Peninsula have a different calendar and a different time zone, because to them, spring starts in May, not in March like in the other 49 states in the Union. I also now know what a "Yooper" is, and who "trolls" are. I found that one of the most beautiful views anywhere in the state is from the lake side rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Munising. I learned that I [personally] cannot cross the Mackinac Bridge without getting bridge assistance to drive my car. I can still see the horses in the streets on Mackinac Island, and I can say that I got to stay at the Grand Hotel [photo credit to Cathy Lancaster]. I found out that I love Traverse City (maybe because I love cherries) and I know that the Grand Traverse Pie Company makes the second best pies in the world! (My Mom?s is still number one.) I discovered what a pasty is, and I think I can remember in the future to pronounce it as ?pas-t?,? though that was a hard lesson to learn. I often saw billboards in Ohio for Bronner?s and always wanted to go there, since Christmas is so important to me and I put up a minimum of three to four trees each year. The first year in Michigan, I bought many beautiful bulbs, and that Christmas, one of my cats knocked over the tree they were on and broke all but one of the beautiful bulbs I had purchased. So I went back this year, and bought all the same bulbs again, plus some more. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the same cat, or any of my other seven, do not do that again. I missed seeing the Sleeping Dunes, which is the one thing everyone said I needed to see. Unfortunately, the scenic roads were not open yet, (it was one of those spring things again) and the day I had to go there, it was pouring rain. That just gives me another excuse to go back to Michigan. Thank you for welcoming me to your state. I learned from many of you, and enjoyed meeting you all. I will remember these two years and all my Michigan travel fondly. ________________________________ ________________________________ About Sue.

It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with dedicated library professionals like you. I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the Executive Director of Library position at WCC will be open and posted in the near future (please see https://jobs.wccnet.edu). I strongly encourage qualified candidates to apply. Located on the east side of Ann Arbor, which places a premium on education, Washtenaw Community College has an outstanding reputation and has enjoyed strong community support, along with a stable revenue base and enrollment. The library has been a beneficiary of all that in many ways. In addition, the college administration appreciates the library's integral role in the teaching and learning landscape. The competitive compensation package and desirable location are added benefits of the position. My warmest wishes to all of your library endeavors.

Celebrate by recognizing a local Michigan library worker! See below for details. Do you know any library workers who should be recognized for the great work they do, their positive outlook, or how the wonderful way they assist patrons? Consider submitting their names to the ALA-APA Galaxy of Stars as part of National Library Workers Day celebration. National Library Workers Day (NLWD) is Tuesday, April 11, 2017. It is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers. The ALA-APA, American Library Association Allied Professional Association, helps libraries and individuals prepare to celebrate by featuring a range of creative suggestions on its website. The National Library Workers Day webpage encourages friends, patrons, employers and co-workers to "Submit a Star" by providing a brief testimonial about a favorite library employee. Each testimonial (listing first names, library type and city/state location only) will be posted on the NLWD's Galaxy of Stars page. You may nominate as many library workers as you like. Has your library celebrated National Library Workers Day in the past? Is your library planning to recognize and honor your library workers this year? Tell us about your plans. Please send your ideas and information to libraryworklife at ala.org. They will be posted in Library Worklife, the official newsletter of the ALA-APA. Be sure to share your celebrations on Twitter, using #NLWD17 and/or post to the NLWD Facebook page. There's still time to plan your celebrations to recognize library workers everywhere. Let's take the time to show our appreciation for those fantastic library stars! For more information, visit the ALA-APA National Library Workers Day website at: http://ala-apa.org/nlwd/.

While these sites may offer good information, this is essentially a ?scam.? They?re an aggregator. These are popup companies and websites that make money by hosting outside advertising. The more traffic they get (via having libraries link to them) the more they get paid. If they make you sign up for an account, they use that to get generate revenue too (and any free good information shouldn?t require you to create an account to get!). The true ?scam? part comes from the way their operation works. Years ago, these websites used to offer introduction paragraphs and dozens if not hundreds of links to another website/websites where the information originated from. Now many of them wholesale copy and paste information or embed data from other sites into their own. They are collecting revenue off websites that offer it for free (a government site), or a website which hosts ads because it is their original content. I have found that if it seems like they are offering a broad range of links or resources from many websites into their own, it?s always found somewhere more legitimate. In summary, you are being asked to be patsy to help someone make a quick buck. My 2? on the subject matter, and I usually send a reply to people who ask about it when it comes up.

I used the information provided by Randy Riley's email of March 30. My wording was based on this passage of that email message: "As you know, total elimination of IMLS as proposed in the President?s budget would have a devastating impact on library service across Michigan. The Library of Michigan directed LSTA funds touch every community across the state. For instance, LSTA funds pay for all costs associated with MeLCat, the statewide resource sharing program providing nearly one million loans to library patrons per year, as well as the majority of the Michigan eLibrary?s (MeL) 40 databases and eBook content. Both programs have become irreplaceable for libraries and schools of all types and sizes." My belief is that all of us using MeLCat would be able to use this flyer. I wanted to make this usable by any of us, by using the legislator search service offered at usa.gov.

See below for details from ALA about the event. Appropriations webinar announced for National Library Week Appropriations, Budgets, and Continuing Resolutions: what you need to know about the Congressional Appropriations Process Confused about the $1 trillion Federal Appropriations process? Does talk of the FY 17 budget, FY 18 budget, the President's "Skinny" budget, Continuing Resolutions and Omnibus budgeting leave you a tad confused? You are not alone! To help answer some of these questions, ALA is hosting a webinar on April 13, 2017, 2:30pm eastern to provide an overview of the Federal budget and appropriations process, its impact on libraries throughout the country and how front line advocacy efforts may support libraries. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsmYSdbM6yM) Join the ALA Washington Office Appropriations expert Kevin Maher and the Penn Hill lobbying group's Aissa Canchola for an hour-long discussion of the ABCs of the budget process in Washington. These budget experts will help explain how Congress can be working on last year's budget AND this year's budget at the same time, what the President's proposal to eliminate the Institute for Museum and Library Services could mean for more than $213 million in federal library funding and how Congress is expected to proceed in the coming weeks and months. The stakes are high this year and all federal library funding is on the chopping block after the President effectively proposed eliminating these important programs. Communications to Members of the House of Representatives in support of the annual "Dear Appropriator" letters for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program were successful this year, but it is only the start of a year-long FY 2018 appropriations. What's next on the funding front? You will walk away from this session with a clearer idea of how Congress' budget and appropriations machine works and, how you can learn about critical library funding for LSTA and IAL. Here is your chance to hear from the experts and ask questions of how it all works (or doesn't). No registration is required - just join on YouTube on April 13, 2017 at 2:30pm eastern and use the #SaveIMLS to ask a question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsmYSdbM6yM --------------------- Shannon White Director of Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 702 W.

Message-ID: Congratulations to the selected grantees for the Collaborative Library Services grants! The first year of the grant program is off to a great start. The Library of Michigan received 21 applications by the deadline of January 31st. The applications were reviewed by the LSTA Advisory Council, made up of librarians from around the state and from a range of library types, as well as Library of Michigan staff. The selected grantees include four large grants and four small sponsorship grants. For a description of the funded projects, please see below. Thanks to all the libraries who applied for their time, effort and great ideas. * Dearborn Public Library - "Dearborn Public Library and Smartlocker(tm) -a Community-Based Initiative" - 3-year grant for $110,000. The Dearborn Public Library will partner with Salina Elementary and Intermediate Schools to improve access to library material in this underserved, largely immigrant, community. A Smartlocker(tm) will be installed at the Salina School Community Center that students and community members will be able to use to get public library materials. The project includes training and outreach for community residents. The goal is to provide community access to library material for education and entertainment, opening the doors of knowledge and lifelong learning. * Jackson District Library - "Project BRIDGE (Building Relationships in Diverse Generational Experiences)" - 2-year grant for $150,000. Project BRIDGE will supplement the traditional outreach program to homebound patrons and care centers with innovative services for citizens living independently or in residential facilities. Project BRIDGE is a multi-pronged approach to serve these patrons, their families and caregivers by offering: Connections (a special collection of materials for memory impaired individuals), JDL on the Road (a series of special programs tailored to the interests of older adults), Music and Memory (providing iPods with personalized music selections to memory impaired participants), Reminiscence Kits (program kits designed to stimulate conversations and memories), and TimeSlips (a program using group storytelling to enhance the lives of people with dementia). * Wayne State University Libraries - "Discovering Michigan History" - 2-year grant for $161,747 Discovering Michigan History will model and establish pathways to share cultural content from Michigan libraries, archives, and museums via digital platforms to the public, educators, and the Digital Public Library of America. The project aims to advance Michigan's digital collections, serving as a catalyzing set of activities in three areas: digital collection creation and hosting, digital discovery, and curricular development. WSU will work with LGBT Detroit, The Arab American National Museum, and the Burton Collection at the Detroit Public Library to share their content. * Ypsilanti District Library - "Texting and Learning for Kindergarten (TALK)" - 3-year grant for $175,000 As a young mother nurses her 7-month-old, she gets a text message from the library suggesting a nursery rhyme to sing. Smiling, she hums a tune, knowing this sweet, simple moment will help her baby succeed in school and in life. Many parents are unaware that their daily interactions can prepare children for success. To meet parents where they are, libraries in Washtenaw County will develop a text messaging service for families with children age 5 and under. New partnerships with libraries, preschools, service agencies, and the Sheriff's Office will ensure that the service reaches low-income residents, parents with limited literacy skills, and other underserved groups. Sponsorships * Friends of Michigan Libraries - Support for continuing education workshops for library trusteees - 1-year grant for $2,500 * Michigan Academic Library Association - Support for continuing education workshops for library staff - 1-year grant for $2,980 * Michigan Library Association - Support for continuing education workshops for library staff - 1-year grant for $5,000 * The Library Network - Support for the statewide Michigan Activity Pass program - 1-year grant for $5,000 Funding availability for the 2018 grant program will be announced in Fall of 2017.

The topic is: Building a Digital Image Collection With Flickr: A low (or no) cost way to share your digital assets Even though registration is closed, you can still see the webinar tomorrow by going to this link: http://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventshow.asp?ProgID=16075 Libraries have many options of services to store and share digital assets, including many from library automation vendors. Instead of looking at library vendors, one option is to use a photo sharing resource such as Flickr (from yahoo.com). From a very active Flickr user, this presentation will showcase how you can use this free resource to promote, organize and share your digital assets. Of particular note is using Flickr groups and tagging to make items from your collection accessible and findable by community residents as well as people all over the world. The presentation will also explore how different libraries are using Flickr for collections and program-related images.

We have found that there are exceptions that prevent an item from being checked in. When we uncheck all the exceptions, all the items should be checked in. However, TLC does not seem to recognize whether or not these exceptions are applied. All items with holds, fines, long overdue, etc are not checked in. Basically an item must have a completely clear record to be checked in successfully. I have spoken with TLC and Bibliotheca. TLC has not been very accommodating and Bibliotheca seems to only have limited options. Currently our solution has been to use the Digital Library Assistant to scan returned items in order to pick out the items not checked in. Has anybody had success getting TLC to do automatic check-in and what did you do to accomplish this? Thanks for your feedback!

Currently, there are very few Michigan statutes that require municipal entities to solicit bids for purchases. Today, whether or not a library MUST open a purchase up to bidding generally depends largely on where they are located. Requirements for bids are now generally levied at the municipal level. If a library is unsure of the rules relating to whether they must initiate a bidding process for a repair or other purchase, or, if they are unsure as to the procedure to be followed in such a bidding process, their best, and safest bet is to consult with the Treasurer or Financial supervisor of their municipality. Certain municipalities, such as Fourth Class Cities, are covered under State laws with regard to bidding (Fourth Class cities are those cities with 10,000 people or less) (MCL 108.5) In addition to local, municipal requirements, certain types of purchases may require a bidding process. For example, if the purchase/project is funded with State or Federal funds, or certain Grant monies, then the source of the funding should be consulted to determine if there are requirements for purchases using those funds. District Libraries are not required to utilize bidding, but, as noted below, many do because bidding is a generally accepted best practice- especially if implemented above a certain monetary level. It should be noted, that even if a library does not have a legal requirement to use a bidding process to make purchases - especially large purchases (over $2,000 or $3,000), there are good arguments to use bidding as a way to make large purchases: Bidding processes are generally considered to be good fiscal practice Bidding processes encourage transparency with regards to how public money is spent (and therefore protects both the public and the public employees) Bidding processes can enhance and encourage the growth of entrepreneurs and small businesses, and can open the market to more diverse vendors - which can be good for a local community All libraries should have written purchasing policies as part of their financial plans and processes. Below I have linked to some resources that may be helpful: https://www.mml.org/pdf/resources/publications/ebooks/HMO_by_chapter/CH%2020%20Purchasing.pdf (Michigan Municipal League chapter on Municipal Purchasing from "Handbook for Municipal Officials"P) http://www.michigan.gov/documents/treasury/AccountingProceduresManual_202967_7.pdf (Michigan Dept. of Treasury Accounting Procedures Manual) http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2014_PublicLibraryFinancialManual_468907_7.pdf (Public Library Financial Management Guide) http://www.kdl.org/sites/default/files/kdl-policy-manual.pdf Sample Purchasing Policy - Kent District Library (See Policy 5.2) As always, please consult your accountant, and attorney in order to determine the best policy for your library.

Feel free to use the videos to promote summer reading to teens in your area. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Sent from my iPad FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 14, 2017: The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) announced the winners of the 2017 Teen Video Challenge. The Teen Video Challenge is a national competition for teens to get involved with reading and their public library's summer reading program. Winning videos were selected at the state level to be recognized as an official CSLP Teen Video Challenge winner for 2017. This video competition ended in its seventh year of encouraging teens to get involved with promoting summer reading and public libraries with a focus on the CSLP 2017 slogan, ?Build a Better World.? Each participating state selected one winning video to be named the official CSLP Teen Video Challenge state winner for 2017. Fourteen states and over seventy teens participated in the creation of these winning videos. The winners were announced the week of April 10, 2017 during the CSLP Annual Meeting held in Charleston, South Carolina. Official CSLP Teen Video Challenge winners were named from the following states: California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Carolina and Washington. To view this year?s winning videos, please visit CSLP?s website at www.cslpreads.org. The winning videos can be used by all teens and all public libraries to promote summer reading nationwide. The winning videos illustrate the diversity of our nation and of the teens that create them. Whether produced by an individual teen, groups of teens, a teen library club or a teen school group, all exhibit creativity and illustrate quality work on the part of the industrious teen film makers. The videos use a variety of references to communicate the ?Build a Better World? idea. In addition to promoting reading and the ?Build a Better World? slogan, it is clear from all these videos that teens value their public libraries. The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a consortium of states working together to provide a unified summer reading theme along with professional art and evidence-based materials so that member libraries can provide high-quality summer reading programs at the lowest possible cost and to play a significant role in literacy initiatives. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: <570D0BDF.3090700@sandusky.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: We are doing a Geocaching 101 program this summer with a local geocache group. We have a geocache inside one of our buildings, and just outside our other building. The program itself will be a very basic intro; what is geocaching, how can you start, what do you need, and so on. Then I?m hoping we?ll have time to have them demonstrate a hunt to our indoor cache. I?m also hoping to find cute little library related trinkets that we can give out to the patrons attending that they could then use to go out and hide in caches they might find. I found my contact by going to the site below and looking for local events and who was organizing them. I then sent them a message on the site letting them know what I was hoping to do. https://www.geocaching.com/local/default.aspx?state_id=23 I did have to create an account to access certain features of the site, but it was free and worth it since it worked out for us, but keep that in mind.

Sometimes errors and/or omissions and/or conflicts are discovered in these code books after they have been printed. Since we want your patrons to have the correct information, I have attached a pdf to print and use as a replacement insert for page 21 of the 2015 Michigan Plumbing Code. Also attached is a three page pdf of 2015 Michigan Residential Code Errors and Conflicts. This code went effective in February, 2016. We offered it as a bulk order purchase prior to that. Again, you will want to print and replace the existing pages with this corrected information.

We place the orders, ship to you via RIDES or TLN delivery, pay the invoice, and invoice your library. The invoice for your library is included with your shipment. We assess a $1.00 per book charge in order to partially offset the cost of this project. The prices noted are list; there may be a small discount depending upon how many copies we order of a given title. That said, the real savings here comes with the efficiency of having a single entity, in this case TLN, place a single purchase order for these books, as opposed to dozens of individual libraries having to do so. Here are the four titles that are being offered for bulk purchase: 1. 2015 Michigan Plumbing Code: $76.00. Goes effective April 20, 2017. 2. 2015 Michigan Building Code: $128.00. Goes effective April 20, 2017. 3. 2015 Michigan Mechanical Code: $76.00. Goes effective April 12, 2017. 4. 2015 Michigan Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings: $81.00. Went effective December 13, 2016 (oops, this one slipped by me. I try to catch all of them but not so much with this one it would seem). Please email your order for your code book(s) to me by no later than Friday, January 27, 2017. Library cooperative directors, please share this email with your member libraries. Thanks.

Message-ID: Hello Everyone! Whether you work in a library or school and regardless of the job title, when you think about it, aren't we all educators? The audiences and the message being delivered may vary but the bottom line is collaboration and results. In MeL.org we have a Teachers Portal that truly has something for everyone - libraries, schools, parents, homeschoolers, administrators, and community partners. It contains PreK-12 resources, professional development opportunities, ideas for integrating MeL into classroom learning, and much more. The Teachers Portal can be a way for libraries and schools to find common ground as use of MeL.org eResources is introduced to students in the classroom and reinforced in the library during afterschool activities and off-school times. In Elementary and Secondary Resources look for video tutorials on using specific eResources, links to the Gale Blog, Google Tools Videos, and MCLS MeL Training and Events, and more. Staff Resources provides links to slide decks, info sheets, training videos. Tips & Tricks provides all kinds of insider information on features found in many MeL eResources - Primary Source Documents, Quick Click Dictionary, Resource Packs, Read Aloud/Listen, Proof of Work, Science Projects Access - and many more. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or Sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery.

Librarian Syndrome Publication due 2018 Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College Volume Editor: George J. Fowler, Old Dominion University Librarianship may be said to be facing an identity crisis. It may also be said that librarianship has been facing an identity crisis since it was proposed as a profession. With the advent of technology that lowers barriers to the access of information, the mission of a library has become indistinct. This volume will explore the current purpose of librarianship and libraries, how we become ?Masters of our Domains?, develop expertise in various elements of the profession, and how we extend outward into our communities. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: * What is the purpose of a library in a community? And what roles in the community best align with that purpose? * How ought we gather and implement expertise from outside the profession? * How can we communicate and garner support from the government, the private sector and users in order to achieve our purpose? * How can libraries balance demands to serve other needs that detract from the library?s ability to fulfil its purpose? * How can libraries build community around this purpose, and how ought they reach out to their communities to engage and serve them? * How can libraries demonstrate positive impact on young generations? * What opportunities are opened to libraries and librarians by recent and potential future technological advancements? This will be the second volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2018. 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 If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send an abstract of 300 words or less as well as author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha Hines at shines at pencol.edu by May 31, 2017. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: May 31, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: July 15, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: October 15, 2017 Comments returned to authors: December 15, 2017 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: Feb 28, 2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Beth Martin Head of Professional Programs Interim Head of Liberal Arts GVSU Libraries, Steelcase Library 401 Fulton Street West, DEV 132A Grand Rapids, MI. 49504 616.331.7344 martelia at gvsu.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To register, visit: http://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventshow.asp?ProgID=16064 In the context of the growing popularity of digital resources, declining reference and circulation transactions, and falling gate counts, collecting feedback about the unique needs and preferences of twenty-first century library users has never been more pertinent and important. But collecting that data can be expensive, especially for small libraries. This is particularly true in times of shrinking budgets. Fortunately, there are plenty of free options when it comes to surveying your service population. Depending on your needs, you may choose a high tech option like Google Forms or a low tech option like a white marker board. Paul Meek Library at the University of Tennessee at Martin conducted user satisfaction surveys using both high tech and low tech options in the spring of 2016, the results of which were surprisingly similar. In this presentation, we will discuss our experience conducting high tech and low tech (but all free!) surveys with an emphasis on the benefits and drawbacks of each to help you decide which option is best for your needs Presenters: Adam Clemons, Information Literacy Coordinator and Instruction Librarian; Jim Nance, Reference and Research Educator, Paul Meek Library, University of Tennessee at Martin.

On the one hand, they fall apart easily, can be repetitive, and once a kid gets stuck on one, it can be hard to get them to try anything else. On the other hand, many kids fall in love with reading because of they just can't get enough of series books. Series sell! 2017 will be a big year for Boxcar Children fans, with 75 years of the Alden family. Use the tools in this email to please fans of classic mysteries featuring headstrong, resourceful kids. Yours truly, Lindsey "She [Jessie] took the string out of the laundry bag and tied one end of it to a tree. The other end of the string she tied to the boxcar. This made a good clothesline." -- Boxcar Children, book 1 [book jacket for Journey on a Runaway Train] Five new adventures are being released under the series name Boxcar Children Great Adventures (snazzy new look on the left). Why do fans like this series? ? Old-fashioned values are exemplified, such as hard work, family first, and never giving up. ? Resourceful kids find a way to survive with no or little adult supervision. ? The Aldens travel to many places, solving mysteries along the way.

This link will give you information about the libraries within Michigan - http://www.firstinmichigan.org/frc/mi_frc_teams.php This might be a busy time for some libraries since it is around Championship time, but please contact them any way to setup another time. Please feel free to use the attached documents to advertise the robotics team visit. As a side note we have a friendly competition going with Canada who has around the same number of teams as the state of Michigan (451). The bet is that they can get more robotics teams to Libraries than the state of Michigan. To prove that the team has come to your library please post a picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the tag #Robots at theLibrary Thanks and please take advantage of this fun event!

The seven-member elected Board of Trustees and the staff (81FTE) are pledged to core values and social justice principles through its strong programs and services supporting 116,000 community residents. The library has an $11 million annual operating budget, with a Central Library, four neighborhood branch locations, and a supportive Friends of the Library organization. The Library emphasizes preschool literacy as a Family Place Library and with a Ready to Read program and hosts innovative services including ONEPlace-a management support center for nonprofits; the County Law Library; and a comprehensive Local History Collection (2011 State History Award). In addition to being Library Journal's 2002 Library of the Year, the Kalamazoo Public Library also received the 2012 State Library's Citation of Excellence Award for superior customer service. Kalamazoo voters have a long history of support and love for their Library culminating in successful twenty-year levy elections in 2009 and 2014. Key opportunities for the new Director include leading a new strategic planning process, innovating through digital technologies, enhancing staff development through coaching and mentoring, developing new programs to serve underserved populations, and upholding the Library's commitment to social justice. Kalamazoo, a medium sized city equidistant from the metro areas of Chicago and Detroit, is home to the nationally recognized Kalamazoo Promise, Kalamazoo College, and Western Michigan University with a new School of Medicine, outstanding healthcare systems, and many recreational and cultural amenities. Kalamazoo also recently recognized a new partnership-Foundation for Excellence-between private philanthropy and the City to provide a forward-looking community benefiting everyone. Kalamazoo has a lively theater and music scene, including the Gilmore Keyboard Festival and Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra; microbreweries, restaurants, and specialty retail create a vibrant Downtown energy. Recreational amenities include stellar parks, inland lakes, bike trails, and proximity to Lake Michigan. Equally enticing is Kalamazoo's low cost of living and affordable housing. For more information on the Kalamazoo Public Library and Kalamazoo, visit Kalamazoo Links. Responsibilities. The Director has overall responsibility for the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of all Library operations and works successfully with staff, Board, governmental officials and community stakeholders. Primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to, implementing Board policies and program decisions; developing the annual budgets tied to Library goals; implementing and evaluating the strategic plan; hiring, developing and retaining Library personnel; developing and implementing long-range capital improvements plans; and advocating for the Library in the local, state and national community. For the complete position description, see Kalamazoo Public Library Director. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master's in Library Science from an ALA-accredited program, the ability to obtain or already hold a Michigan Librarian's Permanent Certificate (requires four (4) years of full-time employment or an equivalent time period of paid professional library work following the completion of the MLS degree), and five (5) years professional library experience at a management level. Preferred qualifications include sound fiscal management skills; the ability to mentor and inspire a strong, creative staff; knowledge of best practices and trends in library technologies; and proven success in community engagement and partnership development. Prior Library Director experience reporting to a governing Board in a multi-branch environment and experience working with collective bargaining units are also desirable. Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $105,000-130,000 (dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

Few can doubt the internet?s central role as a driver for expanding civic and economic opportunity, from free speech to the free market. Equitable treatment on the communications channel for the 21st Century is near and dear to librarians and the publics we serve. The Federal Communications Commission?s (FCC) 2015 Open Internet Order provided clear, enforceable rules to ensure these opportunities are preserved for all. America?s public, research, academic and school libraries collect, create and disseminate essential information to the public over the internet. We are content providers, digitizing and sharing products that we create or partner with others to disseminate. We provide access to local, state and federal government documents ? many of which are exclusively online. And, we facilitate online collaboration and creation by students, teachers, researchers, entrepreneurs and everyone else in our communities. We?re a critical place for the public to access the internet. Local public libraries are often the only no-fee public internet access point in our communities. Libraries particularly serve the information needs of the most vulnerable segments of our population, including those in rural areas, unemployed and low-income consumers, older adults and people with disabilities. This is the crucial mission of libraries: to transform communities through information. Network neutrality is essential to this mission.

[Description: Description: cid:image001.jpg at 01CBED4E.B36258B0] Two Million Free Eclipse Glasses Available to Public Libraries for the August 21 Eclipse of the Sun Dr. Paul Dusenbery Program Director, STAR Library Education Network (STAR_Net) Space Science Institute's National Center for Interactive Learning On August 21, 2017, a spectacular total eclipse of the Sun will be visible across the continental U.S. for the first time since 1918. The Space Science Institute (SSI) was awarded a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation that will provide 1.26 million FREE eclipse glasses and other resources for 1,500 public libraries across the nation. The Research Corporation and Google will also be providing glasses and materials that add an additional 740,000 glasses, bringing the total to over 2 million glasses that will be distributed to more than 2,400 libraries! These libraries will serve as centers for eclipse education and viewing for their communities. Attention!! April is the Last Month to Apply for Free Eclipse Glasses and Receive an Eclipse Education Kit! You may have registered your interest for this event, but has your library submitted their official application? If you're not sure, please take a moment and visit our application site. If your library has not completed this online application, then your library is NOT done. The deadline for submitting this application is May 1st, so don't delay! The Eclipse Education Kit (EEK) includes safe eclipse viewing glasses and educational materials to send to each participating library. Currently, over 1,900 libraries have registered on the STAR_Net website (http://www.starnetlibraries.org/2017eclipse). A map on the website shows the location of the registered libraries, including contact information. This will aid professional and amateur astronomers, Solar System Ambassadors, and others to easily find libraries to partner with. Education materials in the Kit will also be made available on the STAR_Net's Eclipse Resource Center website (http://www.starnetlibraries.org/2017eclipse/eclipse-resource-center/), so that even libraries and organizations that do not receive the EEK will get guidance on how to do public outreach before the eclipse, plus safe eclipse viewing techniques not dependent on having a pair of eclipse glasses. By engaging many library organizations, we will ensure that libraries throughout the country will be aware of the eclipse well in advance in order to plan a successful event. The Space Science Institute (SSI) in Boulder, CO, through its National Center for Interactive Learning, provides STEM exhibits, programming, and training to hundreds of public libraries nationwide through STAR_Net and its NASA@ My Library project. Partners include the American Library Association, Lunar and Planetary Institute, the Afterschool Alliance, Cornerstones of Science, and many others. See http://www.STARnetlibraries.org for details. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Michigan law allows remote participation in meetings via unspecified technology. It explicitly does not allow proxy participation (i.e. sending someone else in your stead), which is what some of our Board wanted. I think it is good to look at the law and you could either mimic the language or write your Bylaw to allow for remote participation by whatever technological means the Board (or chair of a group) specifies for a meeting. You could specifically state Skype but I like to leave it generic so that if Google Hang Outs or some other technology becomes what your Board prefers you do not have to go back and change the Bylaws again. I can try and track down the law again if you want. I just went online. -Steve Steven K.

Michigan law allows remote participation in meetings via unspecified technology. It explicitly does not allow proxy participation (i.e. sending someone else in your stead), which is what some of our Board wanted. I think it is good to look at the law and you could either mimic the language or write your Bylaw to allow for remote participation by whatever technological means the Board (or chair of a group) specifies for a meeting. You could specifically state Skype but I like to leave it generic so that if Google Hang Outs or some other technology becomes what your Board prefers you do not have to go back and change the Bylaws again. I can try and track down the law again if you want. I just went online. -Steve Steven K.

To be eligible for a grant, organizations must not have been a recipient of an FTRF grant within the past five years.

Seems to me that with all the elementary buildings that are available now in districts that are losing students due to school of choice, they might make nice facilities for library branch locations. If you could find one that is not too old, even a small one would have quite a bit of space. They all come with gymnasiums and such so there would be room to hold pretty much any function you could think of. They are mostly one story so the weight of books would not be a concern. What you don't use for the library could be used for other community services or even just storage. Is this just nuts? Or not?

My director is at the point where the problems the web filters are causing outweigh the preventative good of having them in place and would like to remove them. Before we do so, we are wondering if any libraries who have stopped using filters could contact me off list and share why they removed them and what their experience has been? Thank you!

Invest in a Maker Space, add staff, or buy more books? Determining how best to use limited funds to get the greatest return has plagued libraries since the newest technology was the phonograph. How do we balance the need to serve new users in new ways when we don?t have the funds to take care of our traditional users in the traditional ways they expect -- i.e. buy more books? Join three leading public library directors as they share the math they use to balance this equation in their communities. This session will provide three dynamic visions of how the communities of Hillsboro, OR; Delaware County, OH; and Charleston, SC are balancing the demands of the new while delivering services to everyday readers. They will share the challenges they are facing, where they think public libraries are headed and where readers? advisory service fits in their 21st century libraries. They will also give you hints about how to win approval (and funding) of your ideas for enhancing your readers' access to and enjoyment of books.

It feels like the folks at Open the Books have targeted us for no reason other than to see how we respond. So, we balk. Also, because the request asks for personnel info, I know I worry about giving too much data to an unknown entity. I'm kind of protective of my own, and my staff members', personal data. I am lucky in that SPL is a department of our City, so I just turned the letter over to our City Clerk, who will take care of the issue. Smaller libraries may worry about having to jump through hoops to get the info. FOIA requests are inherently 'scary' if you don't get them often. They can make one wonder what one did 'wrong' to illicit the request, and whether there's a lawsuit coming later. So, that's my take on the push back. Libraries are indeed pretty transparent, and almost all the librarians I know are pro-transparency. This request just feels wrong. Best to all, Dave David L.

The Michigan Humanities Council invites Michigan libraries to apply to host the Smithsonian's Water/Ways exhibition in 2018 and 2019. The Water/Ways exhibition explores how water connects human beings with our surrounding environment, while shedding light on its environmental, cultural, and historical importance. As "The Great Lakes State," water is an invaluable resource and part of Michigan's identity, and we are looking for six communities to host the exhibit and share their local water stories. Host communities will have the chance to engage in conversations with water experts, host the exhibit, create additional programming, and help shape the dialogue on Michigan's water policy.

Per the website, there are allowable exemptions and you can determine, with your lawyer, whether the request breaches any of those. They primarily have to do with invasion of personal privacy and you'd likely have to look at case law to determine what you can stand on. Otherwise, it's a law and you must comply. https://www.foia.gov/faq.html#exemptions What is the Presumption of Openness and Who Issues Guidance to Agencies on the FOIA? The FOIA provides that when processing requests, agencies should withhold information only if they reasonably foresee that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an exemption, or if disclosure is prohibited by law. Agencies should also consider whether partial disclosure of information is possible whenever they determine that full disclosure is not possible and they should take reasonable steps to segregate and release nonexempt information. The Office of Information Policy at the Department of Justice is responsible for issuing government-wide guidance on the FOIA as part of its responsibilities to encourage all agencies to fully comply with both the letter and the spirit of the FOIA.

I'm keeping an eye on eBay too, but would much rather deal with another library. We are willing to pay a fair price for these used assets.

Funding will be from $500 to $2,000. Funding is by reimbursement. The application deadline is May 22, 2017.

It's still free, and you can still click here to register! Library Camp is an informal unconference gathering to share ideas, technologies, and discussions intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, to talk about whatever you'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and at our morning gathering, we'll fill the agenda with your ideas. We've got time and space for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. Like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! This year we are kicking off the day with a keynote by Cliff Lampe and Lindsay Blackwell on social media behavior and societal impact. - Cliff Lampe is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan and currently researches social interactions that are supported by mediating technology. - Lindsay Blackwell is a PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information. Her research explores misbehavior in online communities, including trolling and online harassment. You should come !

The question is referring specifically to Friends, where there are members who only work the book sale for a couple of hours four times per year. It seems that the conditions would regard time in the building, whether they are supervised by staff or work alongside staff at all times, whether they work with children. Do you make distinctions based on conditions, or do background checks on any and all volunteers? Are your board members subject to these checks? Thanks for any assistance! melissa -- Melissa A.

In-Reply-To: <3655700225.4@informz.net> References: <3655700225.4@informz.net> Message-ID: [ALA Membership] Dear ALA Members, Library Leaders, Volunteers, Vendors, and All Library Users and Lovers: I promised you I would be back! I?m writing you this morning because it?s time once again to Fight for Libraries! in Washington. As you will remember, that?s the campaign web page for federal library funding advocacy we launched last month to enable all library supporters to easily ask their member of the House of Representatives to #save IMLS and to sign letters to the House Appropriations Committee specifically supporting LSTA funding in FY 2018 of $186.6 million and $27 million for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. And thousands of you did! Ultimately, one-third of the entire House of Representatives signed one or both of these vital ?Dear Appropriator? letters. Thank you! Now, we?ve got to do even better in the Senate, where similar letters for LSTA and IAL are circulating right now. It?s no exaggeration to say that ?failure is not an option.? With the President proposing the total elimination of IMLS and effectively all federal library funding, we have to convince a majority of Senators to put their support for LSTA and IAL in writing by signing the separate LSTA and IAL ?Dear Appropriator? letters our bipartisan champions have sent all their fellow Senators to review. And we?ve got just a few short weeks to succeed. At Fight for Libraries!, it?s fast and easy to see if your two U.S. Senators have signed both of our letters and, if not, to take action now. As their constituents, your request?not ALA?s or our lobbyists??is the only one that will really count. So... * Today, please use Fight for Libraries! to contact the offices of both of your U.S. Senators by email, tweet or phone (or all three!). * Simply ask them in the lang?uage suggested or your own words to ?sign the FY18 LSTA and IAL Dear Appropriator letters.? * Then, ask your library staff, your governing and advisory boards, your volunteers, vendors, employees, Friends, foundation members and your patrons?every library lover you know?to take action too! * Check up on your Senators. Use our easy tracking tool and, if you don?t soon see your Senator listed as a signator of the LSTA and/or IAL ?Dear Appropriator? letters, ask them again to sign on right away. We can do this. You can do this. If you care about libraries and all they do with more than $210 million in federal funding that flows to every state in America, you must do this.
