(Not all applicants will have EPC updates. See the last several News Briefs for information on this process.) This admin window will be open for 3-4 weeks. The 471 filing window will not open until this admin window closes. So doing the timing on this you can see that the 471 window will likely not open until very late Feb. 2016 application update: As of Jan. 19, just over 91% of the 46,126 form 471s for 2016 were completed. But there is a lag on fiber applications in that just 42% (303 form 471s) have been completed. USAC's target is to complete 50 fiber applications per week. Using this target it will be late March/early April before all fiber applications are completed. (FYI: USAC is in the final process of hiring a person with fiber expertise. This should help for 2017 applications.) To stay up-to-date with E-Rate news, consider signing up for USAC's Weekly News Brief: http://www.usac.org/sl/tools/news-briefs/Default.aspx. At this link you can find a breakdown of news briefs by topic as well as the ability to sign up to receive them in your in-box. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

At our library we have a very large collection of discs in our catalog, with our audio, video, and audio book collections growing every year-and thus rely on a disc-repair machine to get the most life out of these items. We previously owned a JFJ Disc Repair machine, but we found that it was at times difficult to use and quite time consuming. My question to other libraries is this; does anyone have any suggestions for other disc repair machines? I am especially interested in knowing if anyone uses the newer fully automated machines, and their experience with the performance and value of the more expensive units. Thank you for your time-please feel free to email me back at jbostian at ruthhughes.org. Have a great day! -- Jessica Bostian Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N.

Kent State University?s School of Library and Information Science is accepting applications for two $1,500 research fellowships: The Jacqueline M. Albers Guest Scholar in Children?s Literature Fellowship was endowed by SLIS alumna Jacqueline M. Albers to support a guest scholar who will study children?s literature using the collections in the Reinberger Children?s Library Center. The Kenneth and Sylvia Marantz Fellowship for Picturebook Research, supported by Dr. Kenneth and Sylvia Marantz, encourages scholarly research on the study of picture books using the resources of the Marantz Picturebook Collection for the Study of Picturebook Art. ***** Each fellowship provides a stipend of $1,500 for outstanding scholars to spend approximately one week on-site, researching children?s literature, picture books, posters or ephemera related to picturebooks in the Reinberger Children's Library Center and Marantz Picturebook Collection at the Kent State University School of Library and Information Science in Kent, Ohio, U.S.A. Funds will be awarded after completion of the on-site research. Mission of the Reinberger Children's Library Center and the Marantz Picturebook Collection for the Study of Picturebook Art From historical books for children to contemporary literature for young people, the Reinberger Children's Library Center and the Marantz Picturebook Collection encompass diverse collections of youth literature that span geographic, cultural, physical, technological and temporal borders. The collections represent the best literature and related materials for young people. They also demonstrate the processes involved in producing, publishing and marketing such literature over time, from evolving means of production to differing constructions of childhood. In addition, the state-of-the-art Center provides opportunities to study connections between literacy, reading and digital technologies, which is valuable for practitioners as well as scholars. The Center?s purpose is threefold: 1) to support and encourage scholarly research within its collections; 2) to provide professional training to students and practitioners; and 3) to engage in activities and outreach to the community and beyond. The Center's collection is of interest to interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners from such fields as youth services librarianship, school library media, children's literature, education, English, communication, media studies, design, and others interested in studying youth literature, publishing, young people and reading in both an historical and contemporary context. The Reinberger and Marantz collections combine to form a research library collection of more than 30,000 books and related ephemera. Following is a sampling of the types of studies which could be done using the collections: ? The art of picture book illustration (media and techniques) ? Themes and trends in children?s literature ? Social construction of childhood through children?s literature ? Social justice in children?s picturebooks ? Studies of American Children?s Award winners ? Historical perspectives on children?s literature (and the work of May Hill Arbuthnot) ? Contemporary perspectives (ebook vs. print picture books) ? Reviewing studies (Including the work of Ken and Sylvia Marantz) ? Publishing studies on books for young readers ? Study of pop-ups/paper engineering Criteria for Eligibility Albers: Applicants will be evaluated based on their proven dedication to the study of children?s literature (not specifically picture books) and selection of a topic of study related to the Reinberger and Marantz collections. Marantz: Applicants will be evaluated based on their proven dedication to the study of children?s picture books and selection of a topic of study related to the Reinberger and Marantz collections. Preference will be given to topics likely to be published or otherwise disseminated. Awards also will be based on applicants? scholarly qualifications.

My main interest is movies. My initial reaction is that they have a lot of films but not too many of high quality. I did, however, find a great film, (Conte d'hiver=A Tale of Winter) by one of my favorite directors, Eric Rohmer. I can come back to it for the four day loan period and have about 30 minutes more to watch. I also found one of the worst rated films I've ever seen (1.8/10 on IMBD) whose name I've already forgotten. I'll do some more extensive research later. Bob Robert P.

You pay by the individual download, but patrons will have access to the entire Hoopla library. As a library you are able to block titles above a certain cost threshold, or individual titles. (We blocked Girl on the Train movie since it wasn't the movie people thought it would be.) We set a maximum number of downloads of any format per patron at the beginning so we could better determine costs to the library. Our initial number was 4 per patron per month. About 20 patrons per month were hitting the maximum. In June we doubled that number to 8 per month, knowing it was summer vacation time. We still have about 20 per month hitting that maximum. E-audiobooks are the most popular items downloaded, followed by movies, music, e-books, tv shows and comics. They range in price from $.99 per item to $3.99 or so, with movies tending to cost the most. We sent Hoopla a deposit amount and each month's usage is then deducted from that. Hoopla is NOT for first-run movies or best-selling fiction e-books. I have found their real strength to be in their non-fiction e-books, vast music library, children's & family movies, and e-audiobooks. Please contact me directly if you have additional questions I can answer. Kathy Kathy Petlewski Electronic Resources Librarian Plymouth District Library 223 S.

Message-ID: The Library of Michigan is still seeking volunteers to judge the 2017 Letters about Literature program. Librarians, teachers and educators familiar with English language arts education, young adult literature, and literary programming for grades 4-12 are welcome. Judging includes reading approximately 50 letters in late February/early March and one meeting to discuss which letters should be the winner and finalists. Meeting attendance in person is encouraged, but conference call attendance is fine. If you are interested, please complete this form & let me know if you are interested in Level I (grades 4-6), Level II (grades 7-8), or Level III (grades 9-12). For more information on the program, see the announcement email below. Thank you! ~ Cathy Letters About Literature is a reading and writing contest for students in grades 4-12. Students are asked to read a book, poem or speech and write to the author (living or dead) about how the book affected them personally. Letters are judged on state and national levels. Tens of thousands of students from across the country enter Letters About Literature each year. If you are in grades 4-12, you are eligible to enter the Letters About Literature reading and writing contest. The 2016-2017 Letters About Literature contest for young readers is made possible by a generous grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, with additional support from gifts to the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, which promotes the contest through its affiliate Centers for the Book, state libraries and other organizations.

I agree with the other comments that the service's strengths seem to be nonfiction ebooks, audiobooks, and graphic novels. If you choose to get Hoopla, I would add that providing information to patrons about how the borrowing and lending limits works would be a good idea. As a user it's tempting to just borrow everything you might want to listen to, until you realize that you're taking up a limited number of borrows system-wide to do that.

Thought it might be of some value to you all. Dear Indiana library directors, human resource and library business office professionals, Please see the below alert the State Library received from the IRS today regarding W-2 information. This message is being cross posted in order to reach the maximum number of individuals. > [1] > > FSLG Newsletter > > February 3, 2017 > > USEFUL LINKS: > > About FSLG [2] > > FSLG News [3] > > FSLG Customer Services [4] > > Educational Resources [5] > > FSLG FAQs [6] > > FSLG Tools [7] > > ------------------------- > > IRS RESOURCES > > Compliance & Enforcement [8] > > Contact My Local Office [9] > > Filing Options [10] > > Forms & Pubs [11] > > Frequently Asked Questions [12] > > News [13] > > Taxpayer Advocate [14] > > Where to File [15] > > ------------------------- > > DANGEROUS W-2 PHISHING SCAM EVOLVING; TARGETING SCHOOLS, RESTAURANTS, HOSPITALS, TRIBAL GROUPS AND OTHERS > > WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Service, state tax agencies and the tax industry issued an urgent alert today to all employers that the Form W-2 email phishing scam has evolved beyond the corporate world and is spreading to other sectors, including school districts, tribal organizations and nonprofits. > > In a related development, the W-2 scammers are coupling their efforts to steal employee W-2 information with an older scheme on wire transfers that is victimizing some organizations twice. "This is one of the most dangerous email phishing scams we've seen in a long time. It can result in the large-scale theft of sensitive data that criminals can use to commit various crimes, including filing fraudulent tax returns. We need everyone's help to turn the tide against this scheme,'' said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. > > When employers report W-2 thefts immediately to the IRS, the agency can take steps to help protect employees from tax-related identity theft. The IRS, state tax agencies and the tax industry, working together as the Security Summit, have enacted numerous safeguards in 2016 and 2017 to identify fraudulent returns filed through scams like this. As the Summit partners make progress, cybercriminals need more data to mimic real tax returns. > > Here's how the scam works: Cybercriminals use various spoofing techniques to disguise an email to make it appear as if it is from an organization executive. The email is sent to an employee in the payroll or human resources departments, requesting a list of all employees and their Forms W-2. This scam is sometimes referred to as business email compromise (BEC) or business email spoofing (BES). > > The Security Summit partners urge all employers to be vigilant. The W-2 scam, which first appeared last year, is circulating earlier in the tax season and to a broader cross-section of organizations, including school districts, tribal casinos, chain restaurants, temporary staffing agencies, healthcare and shipping and freight. Those businesses that received the scam email last year also are reportedly receiving it again this year. > > Security Summit partners warned of this scam's reappearance [16] last week but have seen an upswing in reports in recent days. > > NEW TWIST TO W-2 SCAM: COMPANIES ALSO BEING ASKED TO WIRE MONEY > > In the latest twist, the cybercriminal follows up with an "executive" email to the payroll or comptroller and asks that a wire transfer also be made to a certain account. Although not tax related, the wire transfer scam is being coupled with the W-2 scam email, and some companies have lost both employees' W-2s and thousands of dollars due to wire transfers. > > The IRS, states and tax industry urge all employers to share information with their payroll, finance and human resources employees about this W-2 and wire transfer scam. Employers should consider creating an internal policy, if one is lacking, on the distribution of employee W-2 information and conducting wire transfers. > > STEPS EMPLOYERS CAN TAKE IF THEY SEE THE W-2 SCAM > > Organizations receiving a W-2 scam email should forward it to phishing at irs.gov and place "W2 Scam" in the subject line. Organizations that receive the scams or fall victim to them should file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center [17] (IC3,) operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. > > Employees whose Forms W-2 have been stolen should review the recommended actions by the Federal Trade Commission at www.identitytheft.gov [18] or the IRS at www.irs.gov/identitytheft [19]. Employees should file a Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, if the employee's own tax return gets rejected because of a duplicate Social Security number or if instructed to do so by the IRS. > > The W-2 scam is just one of several new variations that have appeared in the past year that focus on the large-scale thefts of sensitive tax information from tax preparers, businesses and payroll companies. Individual taxpayers also can be targets of phishing scams, but cybercriminals seem to have evolved their tactics to focus on mass data thefts. > > BE SAFE ONLINE > > In addition to avoiding email scams during the tax season, taxpayers and tax preparers should be leery of using search engines to find technical help with taxes or tax software. Selecting the wrong "tech support" link could lead to a loss of data or an infected computer. Also, software "tech support" will not call users randomly. This is a scam. > > Taxpayers searching for a paid tax professional for tax help can use the IRS Choosing a Tax Professional lookup tool [20] or if taxpayers need free help they can review the Free Tax Return Preparation Programs [21]. Taxpayers searching for tax software can use Free File, which offers 12 brand-name products for free, at www.irs.gov/freefile [22]. Taxpayer or tax preparers looking for tech support for their software products should go directly to the provider's web page. > > Tax professionals also should beware of ongoing scams related to IRS e-Services. Thieves are trying to use IRS efforts to make e-Services more secure to send emails asking e-Services users to update their accounts. Their objective is to steal e-Services users' credentials to access these important services. > > Back to Top > > ------------------------- > > If you have a technical or procedural question relating to government entities, please visit IRS.gov [23]. > > If you have a specific question about exempt organizations, call FSLG CUSTOMER ACCOUNT SERVICES AT 1-877-829-5500 [24]. > > Subscribe [25] to the FSLG Newsletter. > > This message was distributed automatically from the mailing list FSLG.

I'm in search of a couple of policies. If your library posts community events/notices on your calendar and/or on your electronic sign outside (or inside) and has a policy regarding this, please send. I'm also curious if anyone is using or contributing to an online community-wide calendar in your area. We envision something where many people have separate log ins to manage their own calendar (library, chamber, village, schools, churches, etc.) but it is populated into one...so the community at large can pick and choose what it sees. There are many products available but I'd love to talk to someone about what you have experience with. Thanks.

However, state law mandates that anyone who believes in good faith that a child is in danger can report abuse. State law further indicates that not only can reporters remain anonymous (and their identity protected), but they have no liability for the report (they cannot be sued or prosecuted in any way for a report that turns out not to be abuse) Library staff can call authorities as a concerned citizen and not as library staff. The library does not need to be involved (if that is a concern). I have attached an information sheet I compiled on this issue. Please share with your patron if you like. I hope this is helpful! Please let me now if you have any questions on the attached, or if I can be of assistance! Sincerely, Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

Henry County Library System Provides Summer Food Service Program: The amount of children who suffer from hunger due to near-poverty economic status has risen in recent years. It has long been the assumption that public schools are the logical place for low-income children to access additional nutritional opportunities in their communities. However, if the schools offer meals for low-income children during the academic year, where do they go when school is not in session? This case study explores how the Henry County Library System became a food distribution site for their community.

Money on our Minds: How to Help Patrons Make Financial Choices: If you're like most people, you want to take control of your financial life. Everywhere you look?on television, on the Internet and around the community?you're exposed to services, products and advice about your money. It's getting harder and harder to know where to turn for unbiased and objective help. An uninformed choice can mean small money problems turn into larger ones. The right decisions can lead to greater financial well-being. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recognizes that libraries are a powerful and trusted community resource for unbiased financial education tools and resources. Collaborating with the CFPB can help make it easier for libraries to help consumers with their important money decisions. Free WebJunction webinars for you! These upcoming webinars are now open for registration. If you can?t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog.

Library Camp 2017 : An Unconference will take place Friday May 5, 2017 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Ann Arbor District Library's Downtown Library . The event is free to attend. 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. Plus, bagels. You should come !

For the third year, there is a subject track being put together around librarianship, called Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums. What follows is the Call for Proposals. If you have any questions, simply write me back off list, or contact any of the coordinators listed at the bottom of the Call for Proposals. We would love to draw on the wealth of knowledge and experiences of Michigan librarians and library workers. ? If this looks like something you are interested in, simply follow this link to submit a proposal: https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc2017/rad-libraries-archives-museums-track Libraries, archives, and museums do media-based work that educates, informs, and creates bridges to culture and technology. Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums will address a broad range of media-based organizing themes: envisioning galleries, libraries, archives, and museums as centers supporting movements for social equity; providing information and cultural heritage to social justice workers; serving as places to explore how to use art, media, and technology for social transformation. In this track, we will specifically consider the role of librarians, archivists, and curators in strengthening the knowledge, culture, and collective memory of communities impacted by social and economic disparity. Coordinators of this track are Celeste ?-Re, Shoshanna Wechter, Bekezela Mguni, Sine Hwang Jensen, Laurel Johnson, Veronica Leigh-Milliner, Karina Hagelin. Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums Call for Participation We are seeking collaborators to shape our track at AMC2017. Libraries, archives, and museums (LAM) are more than places for collecting and storing books and exhibiting artifacts. LAMs can be living, transformative spaces where artists, educators, technologists, and activists convene to access, document, share, organize, and find solutions to issues that impact their communities. We welcome proposals for sessions that will be accessible to participants of all ages and backgrounds, and interpret the work of galleries, libraries, archives, and museums through the lens of media-based organizing. In previous years we have covered subjects such as restorative justice practices in teen librarianship, starting seed libraries, zine libraries, and tool libraries, and community archives that center the narratives of people of color. We are especially interested in sessions that: ? Challenge traditional gallery, library, archive, and museum structures, institutions, and organizations; ? Discuss best practices for community-based organizations that provide books, technology or internet access, creative materials, or collaborative opportunities centering people of color, queer and gender nonconforming folks, disabled people, incarcerated people, and undocumented people; ? Consider the role of librarians, archivists, and curators in strengthening the knowledge, culture, and collective memory of communities impacted by social and economic disparity and state-sanctioned violence; ? Address racism, white supremacy, and issues of inclusion in galleries, libraries, archives, or museums. Beyond the themes outlined above, if the idea of Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums resonates with you, we?d love to hear from you. The deadline to submit proposals is March 13th.

The USBs were shipped in yellow padded mailers along with the Upstart Catalog, a letter explaining SRC 2017 and directions for the downloadable manual. It was our first year of the USBs so I know many looked for a DVD and might not have emptied their envelop completely, thereby discarding the light weight USB. The upside of all this is that the CSLP manual is available in its entirety online! You do need to login at www.cslpreads.org and apply for the online code under Proprietary Downloads. Also online you'll find the clipart, fonts, PSAs, posters & more. The best part is that since it's all online, you just have to share the code with your co-workers and they can all access it through their own accounts. Please note that this is a good time to explore the online manual, as we'll be moving towards that format in the future. Please remember that CSLP is a public library program and materials/logins cannot be shared with other organizations. I do have a handful of manuals still available on USB and a few paper copies, first come first serve, as well as a number of Upstart catalogs. Contact me off list if you need anything or if you have further questions. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 517-335-8129 517-373-5700 f LancasterC5 at michigan.gov www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan From: Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) Sent: Thursday, November 3, 2016 5:42 PM To: Michlib-L (michlib-l at mcls.org) Subject: 2017 Summer Reading Manuals By end of next week all public library locations will receive their copy of the 2017 CSLP "Build a Better World" manual! Included with your copy are instructions on how to create a code for downloading copies of the manual. Please create only 1 online code per library location. Unfortunately a box of Upstart catalogs was lost in the mail, so a few locations will receive a note explaining how to access Upstart online, which is available to all through the "shop" tab on www.cslpreads.org. Finally, a reminder that the 2017 Teen Video Challenge is open for summer reading! Details can be found online on the Library of Michigan website. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 517-335-8129 517-373-5700 f LancasterC5 at michigan.gov Help us acknowledge and celebrate the great work of Michigan educators!

I'd also love to hear from those who are a little more legal saavy/knowledgable regarding this matter. A bit of background regarding our library. In our library by-laws it says that the "Director may dispense an amount not to exceed One Thousand and 00/100 ($1,000) dollars without a vote of the Board of Trustees and the Director may expend an amount of One Thousand and ONe and 00/100 ($1,001.00) dollars but less than Five Thousand and 00/100 ($5,000.00) dollars with the concurrence of the President and Treasurer." We pay an administrative fee to our City finance department to handle payment of our bills, running our financial statements, and working with the auditors (though we pay separately for our portion of the audit). We have always followed the above guidelines for purchasing... with larger expenditures (over $10,000) going before our City Commission in compliance with their purchasing policy. Historically we've submitted our bills to City Hall for payment. The Library Board reviews the bill reports at their monthly meeting, but have not approved actual bill payment as again, those are submitted to the City for payment (and the library board's assertion in the past has been they've approved the annual budget... as long as they haven't seen anything alarming in the bill reports or a deviation from our expenditure guidelines, they have not felt the need to approve the bills before they're submitted to City Hall for payment). With that said, we've had some instances in the past where we've had late charges on some bills because the timeline for the receipt of the bill didn't fall within the City's bill payment schedule properly... so they ended up being paid in the following payment cycle (resulting in a late fee). The City insists that vendors will "adjust their payment schedules" to work with municipal entities. I've never had that experience with Comcast (for example)... so we've ended up with late fees that just keep accruing because the City doesn't pay late fees. Also, in the past our City Commission has handled bill approval similarly to our Library Board. They have reviewed the amounts already dispersed and approve in their consent agenda. However, our new financial director for the City is changing this process so that bills are not paid until after the City Commission has reviewed them all. Based on the timelines for this new process we already know we are facing several months worth of late charges on some of our bills. When I raised this concern with our finance director she reviewed the state laws regarding our type of library and said she wasn't sure where we fit in to that process as our bylaw wording is unclear (since we don't dispense funds, the City does per the administration agreement), we've always deferred to their purchasing policy when questions have come up, and state law seems to indicate that only the library board needs to approve the bills.... not the City commission (though since they administer payment of our bills I doubt they'll set a separate payment schedule just for our bills). So, I'm appealing to your collective knowledge for some insight/guidance in this situation. Thank you!

The person to whom I spoke said there was no consideration for libraries, they just got a regular home subscription. Any thoughts? 2. I had a patron inquire about screen reader for the visually impaired. For those who may have such a thing in place, what do you use and how does it work and is it very costly? She mentioned Serotek, any thoughts on that application? Thanks!! Kate Scheid, MLIS Director Holly Township Library 1116 N.

Specifically I was reading about Brown v. Board of Education (relative to Black History Money), Roe v. Wade, water rights, national health care, human trafficking, and whistleblowing. In both LegalTrac and Legal Forms Library (under Law Digest) searchers can find current and historical legal content. LegalTrac is a comprehensive collection of major legal publications, law reviews, legal newspapers, bar association journals and specialty publications. Results are from peer reviewed, full text sources. Curious about topics related to your specific terms? Run the Topic Finder and get a broader perspective. For example, Topic Finder for "water rights" includes related content in Instream Flow, Human Rights, and Supreme Court. Maybe surprisingly, the Law Digest section of Legal Forms Library contains background materials, further readings suggestions, and cross references on searched topics. Want to know who the "Brown" in Brown v. Board of Education was? A lengthy article explains who Mr. Oliver Brown was and why the NAACP choose him as a plaintiff. Search national health care and learn about it how it has been the subject of discussion in the United States for decades. 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. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Want to let your patrons/followers know about this great resource? Feel free to use this 140 character message: @meldotorg legal resources can provide background, analysis & perspective on today's issues. http://mel.org/legal Registration is now open for the next MCLS/MeL databases webinar.

The administrative window created this year allows applicants to review and update their entity profiles in the E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC). This window closes on 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 26, 2017. As of February 27, 2017, all entity profiles will be locked and no changes will be made until Program Integrity Assurance (PIA) review. The following are important for the administrative window: * Although this period can and should be used for schools and districts to update student counts and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Data, the most important is to ensure that entity lists are correct to reflect the proper recipients of service * This is also the time to add new schools and non-instructional facilities, and/or delete closed facilities to ensure that entities can be correctly listed as recipients of service * Libraries should make changes necessary to reflect updates in the number of branches or square footage NSLP and entity data can only be added or changed by individual schools but schools are not the only people this data affects. Consortium applications and libraries rely on that data. Please take time to review your school's information in EPC and make necessary updates. Form 471 Window The Form 471 application window for funding year (FY) 17 has been announced. It will open on Monday, February 27, 2017 at noon EST and closes on Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The Michigan Department of Education recommends that applicants wait two to four weeks after the Form 471 window opening to submit a Form 471. The Fall 2016 NSLP Report for E-Rate FY17 is now available at www.michigan.gov/erateforlibraries. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

Those seeking to overcome such barriers need a supportive pathway as they endeavor to acquire these skills and connect with a new learning or work environment. Join LearningExpress and our panel of state, public, academic and school librarians as they discuss the importance of building the foundational skills that adults and students need to succeed. Gain perspective from each of these professionals as they share their experiences about which skills are often lacking and what libraries can do to help patrons and students acquire these skills. You?ll also hear how the new Success Skills Centers in select LearningExpress products will provide ways to help individuals build their essential skills and create their own success.

If you would be willing to share your policies/contracts we are looking for examples! Primarily interested in: accumulation rates for leave (vacation, sick, PTO etc), leave caps, what carries over year to year, yearly leave conversion (to pay, retirement plans etc), long term disability plans, and end of employment payouts. We are carrying a fair bit of PTO liability and are looking for ways to continue to offer excellent benefits to our dedicated staff while not carrying such a large liability. Its a delicate balance :) All examples and suggestions are welcomed!

It does not need to be specific to PTSD, but should include what you expect for acceptable behavior and/or non-acceptable behavior. Then when he does not comply you may ask him to leave. If he is a threat to staff or patrons you may need to get your local law enforcement involved. Also, check with your lawyer. Hope this helps!

However? You should have an ?expected behavior? policy or ?Patron code of conduct? policy. You should be able to clearly identify what code or rule the patron is breaking. At GDL, we will inform patrons who are breaking our code and provide them a copy of the code. We give them a chance to comply with the code. If a patron continues the offending action(s) staff are empowered to ask a patron to leave for the day. Again, they have a chance to come back and conform to the code another day. Habitual offenders are documented and may receive a ban of up to 12 months or even permanent, depending on the severity and other factors of the offending behavior. I?ve been the Director at GDL for about four years and have not banned anyone permanently.

I love it. We used SPACE Inc out of Midland. They did an awesome job. Contact Kathy Hobohm khobohm at spaceinc.net -Sheila Bissonnette We purchased two of these (see attached photos). They work quite well for our echoey library! I suspect they were purchased on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Dohm-DS-Natural-Sound-Machine/dp/B00HD0ELFK/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487280975&sr=1-3&keywords=dohm%2Bsound%2Bmachine&th=1 We've got ours tucked under the end of our circulation desk and in a corner leading to our children's area. they create a sort of light wall of sound. I'd recommend they be on the ground so people don't mess with them, and between the area where the noisiness is and where it is found most irritating. We're shushing a lot less people since we got them, which is good for everyone! -Kelly Bennett, Ferndale Public Library On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 4:18 PM, Lori Mills wrote: > Hello, > > Has anybody purchased a white noise system for their library?

Feb. 23, 2017 (free) Message-ID: Lawrence Technological University, along with the Lawrence Tech Library, is hosting *Joel Stone*, the Senior Curator at the Detroit Historical Society, who will present *"The Ubiquitous Mr. Kahn: Albert Kahn's Architectural Legacy"* Mr. Kahn was one of the most important architects that shaped Detroit yet he is only now being fully appreciated for the innovations he introduced. The talk begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2017, in the Architecture Building's A200 auditorium. (#10 on the map, can enter at #9) The parking lots closest to 10 Mile are most convenient, but follow the signs to the large parking lot ("C") for additional spaces. Parking and the event are free. After the talk, attendees will be able to view the exhibit, *"Albert Kahn under Construction"* in the adjacent gallery. This exhibit was first shown at the University of Michigan, and now is enhanced with some models from the Albert Kahn Associates. It uses actual photos taken to show Albert Kahn the various stages of construction as his buildings were being erected. These have been reworked as a digital exhibit. Light refreshments will be served. For more information or directions, call the Library at 248-204-3000. And mark your calendar for March 3, 2017: there will be a full-day symposium about Albert Kahn featuring current research and an update from Albert Kahn Associates. for more information about these events, see https://www.ltu.edu/library/kahn.asp (Special thanks to the Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. for providing sponsorship!) _____________________ Gary R.

We can't use these, but wondered if any other libraries out there might need or want copies. The issues are as follows: Vol. 168, No. 6, December 1985--Featured stories are How We Found Titanic by Robert D. Ballard; Vatican City; Treasures of the Vatican; Nicaragua: Nation in Conflict; and Daniel Boone, First Hero of the Frontier (4 copies) Vol. 170, No. 6, December 1986--Featured stories are A Long Last Look at Titanic; Westminster, the palace that became parliment; Halley's comet; Ghosts on the Little Bighorn; and Tsetse, fly of the deadly sleep (4 copies) Vol. 185, No. 4, April 1994--Featured stories are The Everglades, Dying for help; Kamchatka; Riddle of the Lusitania; John Wesley Powell; Chile's uncharted Cordillera Sarmiento (2 copies) Vol. 173, No. 4, October 1987--Featured stories are Women of Arabia; Epilogue for Titanic; "Doc" Edgerton, the man who made time stand still; North Carolina's outer banks; The smell survey, its results; Baltistan: 20th-century Shangri-La (6 copies) Also donated are two biographies of Bob Dylan. While they appear to be well reviewed and well written, they appear more scholarly nature/critique then typical biography and I just don't think they'll see the circulation here they would at a larger (or possibly academic) library. Revolution in the air : The songs of Bob Dylan, 1957-1973 by Clinton Heylin, 9781613743362 (c2009) Bob Dylan in America by Sean Wilentz, 9780767931793 (c2010) (in looking over some of the reviews for this book, I saw criticism of a particular photograph on the hard cover issue of the book; this is the paperback and does not include the photograph) Also donated: The Curse of Beauty : the scandalous & tragic life of Audrey Munson, America's first supermodel, 9781942872030 (c2016) A couple of discards from my library (so associated markings) that just don't see the circulation they need here to retain shelf space, but of a nature another library might like them to replace a worn out copy: "Tall Timber, Deep Roots," autobiography of Dale A. Woods, Free Methodist pastor in Eastern Michigan (c1989) "Whistle up the Bay" by Nancy Stone (c1966)--three orphaned sons of a Swiss immigrant in Antrim County struggle (successfully) to eke out a living on their father's farm, working in lumber camps, and loading ships. Michigan's Courthouses Old and New by Maurice F. Cole (c1974) Finally the DVD series "Reilly, Ace of Spies : the amazing true story of the world's first international super spy" starring Sam Neill, c1983; issued on DVD 2005 by A&E Television Networks. This is a four disc series, each disc in it's own jewel case and three episodes per disc. This is a library discard, lightly circulated (3 to 7 circs per disc).

How do you purchase chairs? It's a small meeting room, so I'm only looking for 10 to 12 seats. Stackable would be nice, but not necessary. Would you get 10 standard and 2 to accommodate larger users; a different ratio of standard to large? How about armed chairs vs. no arms? Castors vs. stationary (we have low pile carpeting)? Fabric vs. vinyl? Mesh back vs. padded? There are so many options out there and the prices are such I don't want to mess this up. In terms of comfort and cleaning, I was leaning towards mesh back, fabric pad, castors, and no arms, but a board member pointed out arms on the chairs assist reduced mobility patrons in rising from their seat. So now I'm thinking a mix of armed and no arm chairs might be a better option. However, I don't want to end up with a bigger hodgepodge of seating than I am replacing :-) Any guidance/experiential wisdom you can offer would be appreciated.

Thought I'd share the final compilation with you all. As I was compiling it became clear there is lots of gray area around what was considered fiction by all the recommenders. So in this list I've made a distinction between fictional, based on a true story, and nonfiction, which I personally think represent a kind of broad range from fiction to nonfiction. All this brings up some interesting questions in my mind about what kids at younger ages (where most of these books might logically be aimed) really see as the difference between fiction and truth and what is the role of us as librarians to make that distinction for them. No answers from me just interesting things to explore, if you'd like to respond with your thoughts I'd be happy to hear them. Fictional: Aliki. A Medieval Feast. HarperCollins, 1986.

Changing to cooling for us is a week long process, and we cannot even begin it if there's a chance of another freeze or we could lose pipes, etc. Every fall is the opposite problem - switch too soon and it's hot again.

Some of the questions our board asked were: - Why did you choose to charge or not (other than convenience for the patron)? - For those that do pass on the fee, have patrons accepted it or are there a lot of complaints? - If you originally charged a fee and later dropped it, why? If you are willing to share your reasoning or experience it would be much appreciated. I am more than willing to compile answers for the list. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom.

Architects sure do dumb stuff. Listening is not among their skills. I think it would be worth it to install replacement windows in some spots, now that your architect is out of the way. I'm sure it could be done without looking too bad. We have just gotten AC for the first time, and we got a 4-pipe system so that we can make quick changes to solve exactly the problem you describe. This is likely not doable for you. It was a huge, huge, huge mess and very expensive. We also are replacing all our windows, and we made sure to have one window in each area that will open. Here are some handy hints for managing high temps inside the building when it's OK outside. We got to 95 degrees inside several days or a week each summer. It would be 72 outside at 8:00 am but 85 degrees inside, and the temp just soared from there. Like working in a freakin' pizza oven. We never closed due to the heat, and so here's a ton of sympathy from HPL. We feel your pain like few others can. -- IBM and others say you can run PCs continuously as long as the temp and humidity are below 90 or 95. The people won't like it, but don't believe your staff when they piously indicate that they should go home because that's what's best for the computers. We did turn them off in banks and only ran them for 2 hours when it was really bad. -- Some very dramatic staff will indicate that their health is suffering from being in a hot building. They may be right. Everybody's body is different. I let staff take sick time and go if they felt they needed to, as long as we could cover the public service desks. "You have to do what you feel is best for your health". -- We relaxed dress codes, and we allowed water bottles at the service desks, and we allowed those wraps around the neck that welders use in the summer. You can get them at any welding supply store, and probably elsewhere for about $2.50 each. They look like bandanas. Wet them and put them in the freezer, then wear around the neck. They last a couple of hours and they really help. Some staff have several, and keep the refreezing ones in labeled plastic bags in the staff freezer. -- We relaxed or amended some job expectations -- i.e. the pages didn't have to shelve on the upper floors where it was really bad in the afternoon or evening, only in the mornings. -- Get a lot of fans. It's not actually cooler, but the air moving makes staff and customers feel like you're doing something and it does feel better. There are big industrial fans on poles that are used in machine shops and other industries that really move a lot of air. -- Turn out some of the lights. It feels better. -- When it was really awful, I allowed extra cooling breaks in our staff room, which had a winder air conditioner. It helps if people can eat lunch someplace cool. -- Have a plan for cooling over heated customers (to prevent heat stroke) and make sure the staff know the signs and know what to do. (Cool cloths, lie them down or sit them down, call 911 if they're dry and panting because they're already in trouble, cool water to drink, call for a ride home ) (There is an awful story about an old man who walked into the Fremont, MI library with a coat on in the summer, approached the reference desk, and then just dropped like a rock. A woman who works here now was on reference when he died right there in the Fremont library. This is not a story we want to repeat.) -- Acknowledge the situation to the customers -- signs, humor, possibly have fans printed. Agree with them that it's awful. -- Sometimes I bought popsicles or ice cream bars and walked around the whole building passing them out to staff and customers. -- Figure out something to do to fix it. It took us 10 years to figure it out and raise the money, but somehow the situation needs to be addressed. Bring in those HVAC guys and have them figure something out. Good Luck Dave! And I'd seriously look into replacing a few windows. Marty Ferriby, Director Hackley Public Library 316 W.

We had that happen here. My predecessor did not like air conditioning so didn't turn it on and opened the windows. They ended up with a black mold issue that resulted in costly mold abatement, and some health issues for staff. Just my two cents...

On Sunday, they close Monday. If we did that, we would have been closed Fri-Mon two weeks in a row for Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in 2016. Our patrons would be very unhappy if we were shut 8 days over winter break. The library differs from the Village by closing on the actual day (Saturday or Sunday) and being open every other day. If a staff member would normally work that day, then they get holiday pay for it. If they would not normally work that day, then they get a "floating holiday" which they can use any time during the year. This method reduces the impact on patrons. I get some push back from staff who complain that other places are closed Friday or Monday and I explain that they get their day off - on the actual holiday, not the federal holiday.

As part of a project to understand how public libraries adapt to the needs of their communities, I am studying movement-based programs in public libraries (think yoga/tai chi/Zumba in the library, StoryWalks, music and movement, walking groups, etc.) I am asking for your help in this project. If you work in a public library in Michigan, please consider taking a few minutes to fill out this short survey about any programs or services your library provides, has provided in the past, or is planning to provide in the future. Survey Link: https://uncg.qualtrics.com/jfe3/form/SV_eJ3QZdjTvMLVM1v The name of this project is "Let?s Move! Libraries.? The project?s website is http://www.letsmovelibraries.org/ . There you will find information on movement-based programs that have taken place in the recent past in public libraries throughout North America. The overall goal of this project is to strengthen work already underway in public libraries that seeks to get our communities up and moving. The results from this survey will be shared on this website in Fall 2017. Please share this link with others you think may be interested in this project. Thank you for your time! I look forward to your feedback.

Myers of the Historical Society of Michigan will be the debut presentation and will take place on Wednesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. This presentation explores the Titanic's history, her fatal maiden voyage, and the Michiganders who figured into her story. Michigan had more than a passing connection to history's most famous maritime disaster. More than 60 passengers aboard the White Star liner were either Michigan residents or immigrants bound for the Wolverine State. United States Senator William Alden Smith, who was from Grand Rapids, organized and chaired the United States inquiry into the sinking. Senator Smith's inquiry and findings became the basis for new maritime safety laws, including the requirement that ships carry enough lifeboats for all aboard. _____ _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. _____ For more information on the Historical Society of Michigan, please visit www.hsmichigan.org or e-mail us at hsm at hsmichigan.org. _____ The Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. .

The next time you use Academic OneFile you'll notice that the appearance has changed so that the picture icons for the covered disciplines are gone and replaced with buttons to connect to the content in the nine subject areas. This change results in a cleaner presentation and easier navigation as all nine disciplines are now viewable on the opening screen. Updates to three key areas of study - Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science will occur automatically. In addition to these three, the other disciplines are Criminal Justice, Economics, History, Marketing, Political Science, and Psychology. As with other Gale products, Academic OneFile features integrated G Suite for Education and Microsoft Office 365 tools. After authentication, users can sign in with their Google or Microsoft account credentials to access Google Drive, Docs and Classroom, in addition to Microsoft OneDrive and OneNote. 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. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Want to let your patrons/followers know about this great resource? Feel free to use this message: "Michiganders, Academic OneFile has upgrades. Cleaner presentation, easier navigation, Biology, Chemistry, & more http://mel.org/ " On a personal note, this will be my last MeL Minute as I am leaving the Library of Michigan to try my hand at retirement.

Where I used to work, we too had no windows you could open. I would keep a thermometer near my desk and whenever we approached 80? I could phone "facilities" and they would come over and turn up the air conditioning. Sometimes it really helped, sometimes not. We in the library weren't allowed access to that room. Then they changed the policy, and we had to notify them via a computer program. Not only did it take three times as long as the old phone call--passwords, selecting our complaint from a list of about 100 possible problems, etc., then typing in the specific message, but I remember one time when I was directed by my boss to send in a "trouble ticket" about the heat. It was a Tuesday morning. We all agreed that it stayed hot all day. Thursday morning they sent me a response saying they will send someone over later that day. Boy--that's sure helpful to all the people sweltering two days earlier!

Today American Library Association President Julie Todaro released the following statement strongly protesting the rollback of protections for transgender students in our nation?s public schools. ?The Trump administration?s decision to revoke important protections for transgender students couldn?t conflict more with the library community?s fundamental values and the principles upon which libraries are founded. Transgender students deserve the right to use restroom facilities that are aligned with their gender identity. On average students spend 6-7 hours per day at school, and every student deserves to learn in an environment free from discrimination. We believe this federal policy must be reinstated because it ensures that all students are treated fairly nationwide. ?ALA, its members, all librarians and library professionals are committed to diversity, inclusiveness, and mutual respect for all human beings, and we will work tirelessly to ensure full representation of all members of society. ?ALA provides gender neutral restrooms at our conferences, and we will not hold our large and economically impactful meetings in states where ?bathroom bills? have been passed. Our Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) division canceled one such program in North Carolina last year. ?We stand with our transgender members, colleagues, families and friends, and we fully support the work of our Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table (GLBTRT), whose members continue to lead the fight to abolish intolerance for all of society. ?ALA will work closely with all of its partners for reinstatement of these protections as soon as possible.? The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with more than 57,000 members in academic, public, school, government, and special libraries. The mission of the American Library Association is to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We're particularly interested in those with limited budgets (we run around $100,000), single- or double-person staffing, and no onsite IT. - What was your reasoning for either moving forward or declining to filter? - If you chose to filter, were there any unanticipated costs or issues during the initial set-up? - And once that was completed, what's your experience been in terms of how much staff time gets used to manage things daily? - On a weekly average, how often minors are prevented from accessing information? - Do you use either login or time management software? - Did you hold a public forum before making the switch? What's the public response been? - Do you filter your wireless? - And anything else I've not thought to ask.

When we put in the HVAC, I learned about JACE controllers. It's a computer program that controls the HVAC from my or several selected computers (in case I am away). I can change the set points by tenths of a degree. When I moved here, I found our HVAC maintenance company could install one on our system. Staff tell me if it feels hot or cold in several different areas and the JACE tells me the temperature of the air coming from the vents and the temperature of the area so I can make adjustments. It then controls what the system does to change the temperature to the new settings I put in. We can program the system to turn on and off at desired times of the day. It's well worth the investment. By watching the JACE, I can also troubleshoot problems in various areas of the whole system. Now all we have to do is correct some of the issues from the original installation to make everything work smoother. Thank you architects, and in our case, contractors, for making our jobs so "interesting". I think I have earned an HVAC Engineering degree by now. Good luck to you Dave.

For full details and downloadables go to: http://www.cbcbooks.org/reading-without-walls/. Finally we have May, where we will celebrate the 98th Annual Children's Book Week (May 1-7)!
