The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is again asking for input on their ESSA Implementation Plan with Stakeholder Feedback Surveys. The deadline for responding to these surveys is Monday, January 16th. ALA and AASL worked diligently to ensure that the school library provisions (http://bit.ly/ESSAlib) were included in ESSA; yet, each state has autonomy in how they implement these provisions. MAME has been actively involved with MDE through a seat on the state ESSA Tactical Review Committee as well as holding an ESSA Focus Group with MDE at MAME?s annual conference. However, it is* important for the MDE to hear about the importance of effective school libraries to student achievement in our state from multiple voices.* Thus, your support and action is needed now! Go to the MDE ESSA ?Get Involved? Page and select one of the four options to provide your input. It is important that your input be provided in your own words. Please personalize your responses. [On the previous survey, MDE counted similar responses as one response.] The public survey is divided into five sections. Talking points for four of the sections are provided below. If you have any questions, please let us know. THANK YOU for your support! Kathy Lester MAME Advocacy Chair Lisa Kelly MAME President, 2017 TALKING POINTS FOR ESSA PUBLIC SURVEY OPTION 1. Accountability: 1. In question #8: Which of the following items are among the most important types of information to have when trying to figure out the quality of a school?; please check the option: The presence of librarians/media specialists in the school 1. Supports: 1. In applicable ?other comments? sections of questions in this area include comments about the fact that school library media specialists provide necessary support for student achievement including possible facts such as: 1. An effective school library program positively affects the entire climate and culture of a school. 2. An effective school library program offers equitable access to resources to ensure a well-rounded education for every student. 3. An effective school library program provides personalized learning environments for every student. 4. Multiple studies in over 20 states, including Michigan, show that schools with a school library staffed by a full-time certified teaching school librarian* have a high impact on increasing student achievement regardless of socio-economic or education levels of the community. 5. Include other statement/fact of your own or from this list: http://bit.ly/ESSAlibev 2. In applicable ?other comments? sections of questions in this area suggest that MDE should require or strongly recommend the Title I ESSA School Library Provision that all school districts include in their plans how they will ?assist schools in developing effective school library programs to provide students an opportunity to develop digital literacy skills and improve academic achievement.? 1. Supports for Special Populations: 1. Include in your comments the fact that studies have shown that students who are economically disadvantaged, black, Hispanic, or have disabilities benefit proportionally more than general students from the presence of a full-time certified school library media specialist. 2. Teacher & Leader Quality: 1. In applicable ?other? areas include comments how school library media specialists provide support to teachers for high quality instruction and also provide quality professional development including possible comments such as: 1. School library media specialists support classroom teachers through providing high quality resources for their instruction. 2. School library media specialists support classroom teachers by collaborating or co-teaching with them to provide high quality instruction. 3. School library media specialists provide professional development onsite and just-in-time for staff in their buildings. 4. School library media specialists customize/personalize the professional development and resources to meet the needs of their staff and their students, including differentiating instruction. 2. In applicable ?other? areas include suggestion that MDE should provide professional development to administrators to understand the components of an effective school library program (as defined by "SL21 Measurement Benchmarks for Michigan School Libraries for 21st Century Schools" (www.michigan.gov/sl21)) and how an effective program positively impacts student achievement.

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: Greetings! Public library services put people on the path to literacy, technological know-how, or a better job - but what we are often missing is the data to show it. Outcome measurement helps libraries answer the questions: How can we better measure and demonstrate our community impact? What good did our services do? Would you like to implement outcome measurement in your library? Join us for a Project Outcome Regional Training, a full day, in-person workshop near you! At this workshop, a Project Outcome trainer will facilitate a deep-dive into outcome measurement using Project Outcome tools. You will learn how to deploy outcome measures in your library, collect and use resulting data, and leverage the project's support network to ensure successful adoption. Be a part of a cohort of public libraries interested in implementing Project Outcome to drive change, influence decision making, and demonstrate the true impact of their library's programs and services on the community. The goal of Project Outcome is to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services. Project Outcome, an initiative of the Public Library Association, provides simple tools and a supportive online community of library leaders to help public libraries collect insights and data about all the ways we are meeting the needs of our communities. This understanding can improve the way public libraries do business - from allocating existing resources more efficiently to advocating for new resources more effectively. For more information about Project Outcome, visit www.ProjectOutcome.org. Prior to this workshop, you will: * Complete a pre-workshop assignment including introductory materials and your library's strategic goals. During this workshop, you will: * Review Project Outcome surveys and tools. * Identify goals for outcome measurement in your library. * Explore best practices for selecting and administering Project Outcome surveys. * Examine processes to use outcome measurement results for ongoing programming changes and decision-making processes. * Identify best practices for using outcome measurement results for advocacy, support, and fundraising. * Discuss outcome measurement as it relates to strategic planning for the library and the community. * Create a plan for implementing Project Outcome. Following this workshop, you will: * Be invited to participate in two follow-up virtual meetings to continue learning, collaboration, and to receive support from the Project Outcome trainer and peers in your cohort. Who should attend: * This workshop is intended for: Library directors, managers, supervisors or staff who will be responsible for managing or overseeing the implementation of Project Outcome. This may vary depending on the size and organization of your library. * We recommend that you send as many as [1-3] staff members from your library or library system.

The January List of free library related webinars is now available at https://www.webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html. Highlights include: January 6 Making Difficult Conversations Easy (Effectiveness Institute) Do you shy away from conflict? In organizations across the world conflict is avoided. Expectations go unmet, values are violated and overall underperformance exists because people do not know how to effectively resolve issues without resorting to the use of power. This one-hour session introduces you to concepts that enable you to begin to "integrate conflict"-to walk into it and effectively handle it-rather than avoid it. January 12 Outcome Measurement Made Easy with PLA's Project Outcome (Public Library Association) For the first time, public libraries have access to an aggregated set of outcome measurement data and analysis tools they can use to affect change within their communities and beyond. Since launching in June 2015, Project Outcome has helped libraries make programmatic improvements, streamline strategic planning and decision making, increase advocacy, and gain funding. This webinar provides an overview of the toolkit and examples of how libraries have been able to benefit from using Project Outcome. January 20 Library Marketing (American Library Association) Marketing can be a daunting process for many librarians. New technologies offer diverse avenues for promoting library services, and commercial marketing methods have become expected for libraries, too. Where do you start? What's the best way to allocate your staff and financial resources? How do you keep up with a constantly changing social media landscape? Evette M.

Message-ID: The Library of Michigan encourages libraries to join the 2017 Money Smart Week campaign. Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2016, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of A Dollar For Penny for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before January 27: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017. --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 22-29, 2017. Between April 22-29, 2017, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 22-29, 2017. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/60655-a-dollar-for-penny?isbn=9780679889731 The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 22-29, 2017. Recommended age for A Dollar For Penny is 4 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before January 27. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 4. Between January 15th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the A Dollar For Penny book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By January 27th, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MoneySmartMichigan at gmail.com.

Attached, please find three updated attachments relating to the PPT reimbursements: * A list of Libraries who are/have receiving/received PPT reimbursement in November 2016 or February 2017 * The list of payments to municipalities - (which also includes some of the library payments listed in the first list) * The PPT calculation Tool - according to our information, "The tool provides the millage rates and other formula factors used to calculate the 2016 PPT distributions for other municipalities and a distribution calculation." If your library is not listed on any of these lists, please keep in mind that a library must have had a millage in EACH YEAR of the included years - 2012 - 2015, and must have had a revenue loss due to PPT, according to the Treasury calculation. Reimbursements were calculated for operating and debt millages, and our understanding is that those reimbursements must be divided and applied accordingly. PPT payments will be annual for the foreseeable future (the law states no ending date or sunset provision). Additional information (and contact information for treasury assistance) regarding the PPT reimbursement program can be found at http://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7-238-43535_72736-358296--,00.html Of course, we here at the Library of Michigan are also always available to assist!

In this webinar, presented by Kim Lehman, learn ways to use music with young children in storytimes through songs, movement, literature, puppets, and props. Music in library storytimes is not about having the perfect voice or playing an instrument. It is about the magic that sounds and poetry bring to our shared experience. Whether you sing openly or in the privacy of your own shower, join us for fun and ideas. You will be inspired to warble a tune before the webinar is over. Participants will be able to: * Use opening and closing songs in storytimes * Incorporate songs and music in storytimes using puppets, props, movement, and books * Reference and use music resources including books, recordings, and websites * 1/24 Storytime Crafts 2 PM - 3 PM Central The process of creating offers children an opportunity to develop fine motor skills, cooperation, and a genuine sense of accomplishment. Working independently increases confidence and creative joy. This webinar, presented by Kim Lehman, will look at developmentally appropriate craft ideas to use in toddler and preschool storytimes as well as tips and suggestions for implementing and organizing craft activities in the library. Participants will be able to: * Implement age appropriate craft activities as a part of library storytimes * Identify developmentally appropriate expectations for young children * Organize and manage craft activities in the library * 1/17 Science and Math in Storytimes 2 PM - 3 PM Central Children have an innate curiosity about the physical world around them. Storytimes offer a unique opportunity to help young children understand and organize information needed to make connections and solve problems. This webinar, presented by Kim Lehman, will explore inexpensive, easy to implement science and math experiences using literature, fingerplays, activities, and props. These ideas can be used in storytimes, as passive programming in the library, or as resources for parents and caregivers to extend the storytime experience for further STEM explorations. Participants will be able to: * Explore ways to use science and math experiences in library programs for preschool children * Integrate books, music, and fingerplays centered on math and science * Introduce parents and caregivers to age appropriate math and science activities for further science explorations * 1/10 Preschool Storytime Basics 2 PM - 3 PM Central Storytimes in public libraries offer a valuable service to children, parents, and child care providers in the community on many different levels. This webinar, presented by Kim Lehman, will cover the basics of planning, preparing, and presenting engaging storytimes for preschoolers in the library. We will cover surefire books and literature selections as well as songs and fingerplays to captivate a young audience. Learn a few tips to address some storytime challenges like organizing materials, reading aloud to a group, and managing difficult situations. Participants will be able to: * Plan, prepare and present effective storytime programs in the library * Present age appropriate books, songs and fingerplay in library programs * Organize materials for programs effectively 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!

Please forward to interested colleagues and other listservs. Call for proposals Advances in Library Administration and Organization Project Management in the Library Workplace Publication due 2018 Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College Volume Editor: Alice Daugherty, Louisiana State University Libraries Many works have been published on ?how to do project management? in librarianship, but there are gaps in coverage of the deeper issues and surrounding processes. For example, what methods have been successfully used, in the library workplace, to assess efficacy of project management? What are the future trends and implications for library administration and management as formal project management schema become more commonplace in library work? How do these formal schemas demonstrably affect and improve library workplaces? For this forthcoming volume, we welcome submissions that consider how project management affects library administration and that address the role of project management in the library workplace. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: ? Assessments of project management approaches ? Integration of project management processes and procedures within libraries ? Project leadership in libraries and future trends ? Project management education and certification for library workers This will be the first 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 We are currently seeking proposals for the 2018 volume on project management in the library workplace. If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Alice Daugherty at adaugher at lsu.edu by February 28, 2017. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: Feb. 28, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: March 31, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: May 31, 2017 Comments returned to authors: July 31, 2017 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: August 31, 2017 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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...

Message-ID: Looking for a passive programming idea for your library this winter? Louis Braille was born January 4, 1809, and to celebrate his legacy the whole month of January has been declared as Braille Literacy Month! Why not set up a braille station for your patrons? The Braille and Talking Book Library can send Braille Alphabet cards that feature the letters a-z to use for this exercise (while supplies last, see the attached photo for a visual of the card). Then simply purchase a couple slate and stylus' and set them out at your library with basic instructions on how to use the Braille Alphabet card as a reference to write their names. This is great for kids and adults alike-it is a short and fun exercise that educates the public on the basics of braille. If you are interested in receiving any of the Braille Alphabet cards for your location, please email me back directly off-list. Included below is also a link to a slate and stylus for reference, however it may be possible to find one cheaper if you shop around. The Braille and Talking Book Library is a free service made possible through the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Patrons do NOT have to be blind to use our audio book service, and we have over 60,000 books available!

Message-ID: <006401d2683c$7f7de810$7e79b830$@otsegolibrary.org> Has anyone out there discovered a nice-looking way to implement a dual monitor type of setup that would allow our patrons to see the computer screen at the circ/ref desk when we want them to see it? I am looking for a system that would allow this that could be controlled easily (turned on/off as needed) by our staff and would keep us from having to swivel the monitors around to try to show them what we are doing?

When at the Reference Desk, we can set the screen on the laptop to be the same as the monitor, and turn the laptop screen to the patron so we can look together at the same results. The patron can type and we can type. When not working with a patron, we can set it so the screens are NOT the same, so we can have a document open on one and a website on the other. This has worked pretty well for us and is an inexpensive solution for a "co-browsing" concept. If the laptop does not have enough USB ports you may need to get a hub (keyboard, barcode scanner, flash drive, etc.) When no patron is present, we turn the laptop back to face us or just close the lid.

We are a small business university library. For the new year, we are starting a reading challenge. The idea is to encourage our students (and any others) to read more. We have a few ideas already, but I'm reaching out to any other university library that has tried this. What did you do to get participation? What worked, what didn't? What suggestions might you have for this project? Did you limit this to students or include anyone? The eligible reading materials are books, newspapers, (10 articles=1 book) magazines/periodicals (5=1 book), and newspapers (10 individual papers=1 book) . Each time someone finishes a book (not a textbook) or magazine, etc., they come to the library for a sticker (or some other thing) and places it on a "bookshelf" that we are creating out of paper. We are running this project all year and we want to fill the shelf with our read materials. We are not making this a contest or anything like that. It is just reading for the enjoyment of it. Any ideas? TIA, Rebecca Grai Strosacker Library 989-837-4333 Northwood University - Developing the future leaders of a global free-enterprise society.

Back in November, the Howell Carnegie District Library hosted our annual Veterans Day program. Our presenter, Joann Puffer Kotcher, was an interesting, entertaining speaker. She served as an American Red Cross volunteer during the early part of the Vietnam War and wrote a meticulously researched memoir based on her journal from that time called Donut Dolly: An American Red Cross Girl's War in Vietnam. We had 50 people attend the evening program and, of those, about 8 were veterans and 4 young adults. Pictures from the event are on our Facebook page. We had positive feedback from attendees, with one person even telling me she could listen to her for hours! Mrs. Kotcher is a native Michigander, living in Rochester Hills. She customizes her presentations for each event and has a very reasonable rate for libraries. For us, she gave an hour-long presentation with pictures, an audience Q&A, and a book signing both before and after her presentation. Her website is http://donutdolly.vpweb.com/ and her email address is donutdolly66 at gmail.com. She is very responsive to emails and showed up on time with her display items, books for sale, and assistant. Between the two of them, they took care of their own display setup and sales. Mrs. Kotcher was a pleasure to work with.

Many adults have the same challenge. Can you spot fake news? Do you know how to help others differentiate between truth and fiction? Join us to learn how you can be a better ambassador for information literacy. Talk of fake news and the need for critical thinking skills have been in heavy rotation in the media in recent months, with new calls for the public to acquire appropriate research and evaluation skills and become more information savvy. However, none of this is new for librarians and information professionals, particularly for those who teach information literacy classes! With this renewed interest, librarians have brand new opportunities to impart these skills to patrons. In this webinar, participants will: * Learn more about the rise of fake news, particularly those information behaviors that perpetuate its spread * Learn ways to identify fake news * Explore methods to help library patrons identify fake news Presenter Nicole A. Cooke is an assistant professor at the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She holds an M.Ed in adult education from Pennsylvania State University and an MLS and Ph.D. in communication, information and library studies from Rutgers University.

I have found the best way to deal with open carry is to ignore it with some caveats. If someone comes into your library with a pistol that isn't in a holster, call the police. If someone carries a long arm into your library (assault rifle, etc.), call the police. If someone takes their pistol out of their holster call the police. Otherwise, just ignore them. They will go away. I hope this helps.

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2016, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of A Dollar For Penny for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before January 27: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017. --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 22-29, 2017. Between April 22-29, 2017, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 22-29, 2017. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/60655-a-dollar-for-penny?isbn=9780679889731 The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 22-29, 2017. Recommended age for A Dollar For Penny is 4 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before January 27. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 4. Between January 15th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the A Dollar For Penny book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By January 27th, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MoneySmartMichigan at gmail.com.

Through the outstanding efforts of hundreds of MLA members and dedicated librarians, your Michigan Library Association and the GCSI team, we were able to accomplish a goal this organization has been working toward for more than two decades. Libraries were the only special millage given consideration for exemption (only the fourth historically) from tax capture. This is an incredible recognition by the Michigan legislature of the importance of libraries in this state. We extend our appreciation to: * Governor Rick Snyder for signing this legislation into law * Senator Jack Brandenburg (R-Harrison Township) for his extraordinary work on behalf of libraries * Bill sponsors: Sen. Mike Kowall (R-White Lake), Sen. Jim Marleau (R-Lake Orion), Sen. Pete MacGregor (R-Rockford), Sen. Rick Jones (R-Grand Ledge), Sen. Jim Stamas (R-Midland), and Sen. David Robertson (R-Grand Blanc). * And to the Michigan legislature for their unwavering support of our libraries. And finally, thank you MLA members and library supporters. Without our collective efforts led by outstanding librarian leadership and a very dedicated MLA, this success would not have been possible. This legislation means millions of future tax dollars will go to our libraries. The legislation pertains to: 1980 PA 450 Tax Increment Finance Authority Act; 1975 PA 197 Downtown Development Authority; 2005 PA 280 Corridor Improvement Authority Act; 2008 PA 94 Water Resource Improvement Tax Increment Finance Authority Act; 1986 PA 281 The Local Development Financing Act; and 2004 PA 530 Historical Neighborhood Tax Increment Financing Authority Act. Under the new laws: 1. Libraries are exempt from all new tax capture. A library may choose to participate (opt in). * Exception: City libraries established under PA 164 section 1 or 10 a (MCL 25 397.201 and 397.210A) or established under 1869 LA 233 should continue to work with their city leadership on an opt out plan if that is their choice. 2. A library may now opt out of any current tax capture when it changes either its boundaries or extends the duration of an existing finance plan. 3. Libraries are exempted from any current tax capture if the tax capture authority has no current outstanding debt obligation. These accomplishments are a tremendous first step and our work continues on this important issue. Please take a moment to contact Governor Snyder and thank him for supporting libraries.

My experiences at the GDL have been essentially the same. While I have not had anyone come in with a long arm, from what I understand of the law that is also legal as long as they do not unsling it from their shoulder or chest. However, Lance's advice about calling the police is still sound. I had a cluster of these activists coming into my branch over the course of a week. They always sought me out to help them with some issue or another, which I did while ignoring their handguns. Finally when something like the fourth one showed up in under three days, I said to him "So, how do you like that Rock Island .45?" They have not been back since. They want you to overreact, so do not do it.

Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Guns in Libraries Good morning, Since my experiences at CADL, I thought it might be useful to share what I have learned in my role as director of KDL. I have found the best way to deal with open carry is to ignore it with some caveats. If someone comes into your library with a pistol that isn't in a holster, call the police. If someone carries a long arm into your library (assault rifle, etc.), call the police. If someone takes their pistol out of their holster call the police. Otherwise, just ignore them. They will go away. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Lance Sent from my iPhone On Jan 10, 2017, at 11:15 AM, Membiela, Clare (MDE) > wrote: Hi: Here is some additional clarification on the gun decisions: The argument the court uses to distinguish between the CADL case and the Ann Arbor & Clio cases is , essentially, that there is a statute, MCL 123,1102, which prohibits the enactment of any firearm regulation by "local units of government." The statute defines "local units of government" as: "a city, village, township, or county". MCL 123.1101 In the CADL case, the court determined that since a District Library is established by two local units of government, it is covered within the purviews of MCL 123.1102. In other words, a product of two local units of government, is, in effect, a local unit of government, and therefore specifically prohibited from regulating firearms by MCL 123.1102. School Districts, on the other hand, are NOT considered "local units of government" under MCL 123.1101. They are completely set apart. Additionally, the court applied a four step analysis (called the "Llewellyn framework," after the case which created the test) to determine that the School regulation is not preempted by the State Law and that there is no evidence to indicate that the State ever intended for School Districts to be UNABLE to regulate firearms on their campuses. On the contrary, the court found several instances where the legislature has regulated guns in schools. I hope this is helpful! Here is a link to all three opinions: CADL v. Mich.

The Library of Michigan works with volunteer librarians every three years to revise the measures based on participating libraries' experiences and new trends in library services, programs and technology. It is our goal that QSAC measures will continue to provide direction and support for libraries as they look to both improve their services and justify their services to funders.

A fictitious account of John F. Kennedy's presidency; real and imagined post-World War II stories; and fiction set in the near-future are among the wide-ranging topics found on this year's list of 20 titles. The acclaimed books encompass the entire Great Lakes basin from the far reaches of the Upper Peninsula to the dense suburbs of Detroit, and even include an island-hopping journey across the largest freshwater lakes on Earth. "This intriguing collection of books represents a spectrum of Michigan's people, places and the history that makes our state unique," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said about this year's list. "I'm continuously impressed by the ever-increasing strength and popularity of the Library of Michigan's Michigan Notable Book list. The abundance of quality writing generates more interest every year among bookstores, writers, libraries, and readers from all walks of life." Each year, the Michigan Notable Book (MNB) list features 20 books, published during the previous calendar year, which are about, or set in, Michigan or the Great Lakes region, or written by a Michigan author. Selections include a variety of genres, both fiction and nonfiction, that appeal to many audiences and explore topics and issues close to the hearts of Michigan residents. The 2017 list includes histories, memoirs, poetry and short story collections exploring current events, family dynamics, music, design and architecture and true crime. MNB is a statewide program that began as part of the 1991 Michigan Week celebration, designed to pay tribute and draw attention to the many people, places, and things that make Michigan life unique and vibrant. "The MNB selections clearly demonstrate the rich subject matter Michigan offers to writers," said State Librarian Randy Riley. "Everyone will find something of interest that speaks to their lives or experiences in our great state." This year's MNB selection committee includes representatives from the Library of Michigan; the Library of Michigan Foundation; Muskegon Area District Library; Herrick District Library of Holland; Cooley Law School; Howell Carnegie District Library; Lansing City Pulse newspaper; Michigan's State Historic Preservation Office; Wayne State University; Michigan Department of Education; Michigan Center for the Book; Michigan Humanities Council; and Schuler Books & Music.

We have also heard from others who said on account an extended holiday vacation for the week of January 3-6, they set the email aside and thus, needed a reminder. Here is your post-holiday reminder! The order deadline is Friday, January 27. We will probably send out one more email reminder prior to that date. Thanks! Jim F.

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.

I personally use an app called Key Ring and my East Lansing Public Library card is on there with other store loyalty and gift cards. I used it this morning with the ELPL self-check system and it worked just fine. You may not have self-check but it was really easy for me since the scanner just reads it off the mobile phone screen.

For more information, visit http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/148-collaborative.php. Dates: February 6 to March 3, 2017 Price: $175 Collaborative leadership is a major leadership buzzword these days, but many library leaders may be a little hazy on what it actually is. More than an emphasis on teamwork or listening skills, collaborative leadership models provide a framework for increasing connection and communication, flattening hierarchies, and always focusing on encouraging strong ideas and coaching team members into a force for organizational transformation. Collaborative leadership, when implemented well, can enable your library team to transcend petty infighting, focus on shared goals, and to identify ideas that can transform the library into a resource that more effectively serves larger organizations or communities in which they operate. However, if collaborative leadership practices aren't implemented thoughtfully, they can lead to conflict and chaos. At the end of this course, you will understand the elements of collaborative leadership, consider the ways collaborative practices can strengthen your team (as well as common pitfalls), and create a plan to make your department or library a more collaborative place. This course is designed for library directors and department heads who are interested in finding workable ways to make their teams more collaborative, as well as aspiring leaders who are interested in collaborative leadership. Each weekly course module will focus on a particular theme: * Week One: The elements of collaborative leadership * Week Two: Collaborative Leadership as a tool for Library Transformation * Week Three: Risks of Collaborative Leadership * Week Four: Developing a plan for Collaboration at your library Topics covered include: * History and Models of Collaborative Leadership * Benefits and risks of Collaborative Leadership * Distribution of power * Knowledge sharing * Listening Skills * Facilitating Brainstorming & encouraging new ideas * Collaborative resource allocation (especially when in short supply) * Rules and responsibilities in a collaborative workplace * Conflict management and resolution * Coaching and feedback Evette M.

We are hoping you will share the following article in your newsletters and on your websites. As always, thanks so much for your help and support! [SOS with kangaroo] Kangaroo-themed campaign urges Secretary of State customers to 'Hop Online' at ExpressSOS.com Secretary of State Ruth Johnson is reminding customers-with the help of a kangaroo-to hop online, not in line with ExpressSOS.com. The new electronic ad campaign is premiering at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January. The fun video, which was produced in-house by SOS staff, includes Secretary of State Ruth Johnson "rapping" to the music alongside a "rapping" kangaroo. View the video online at Michigan.gov/kangaruth. In 2014, libraries across Michigan partnered with the Secretary of State's office to promote the availability of public library computers for completing Secretary of State transactions. On ExpressSOS.com, library patrons can renew registration/tabs for cars, trucks, motorcycles and watercraft. With its Print'N Go feature, you can print a receipt and drive your vehicle legally until the tabs arrive in the mail. Most people can also renew or replace a standard driver's license or state ID. Keep in mind that every eight years, customers need to visit an SOS branch office to get an updated photo. Other online services at ExpressSOS.com include requests for duplicate vehicle registrations and titles, address changes and updates to personal information. You can even join the organ donor registry. Cathleen Simlar Cathleen P.

April 17 - University Center, Mt. Pleasant April 27 - Redford Township District Library, Redford April 28 - Portage District Library, Portage May 4 - Peter White Public Library, Marquette For more information and to register, visit the Library of Michigan's workshop registration system. Public library services put people on the path to literacy, technological know-how, or a better job - but what we are often missing is the data to show it. Outcome measurement helps libraries answer the questions: How can we better measure and demonstrate our community impact? What good did our services do? Would you like to implement outcome measurement in your library? Join us for this [FREE?] Project Outcome Regional Training, a full day, in-person workshop on [DAY, DATE, TIME] in [CITY]. At this workshop, a Project Outcome trainer will facilitate a deep-dive into outcome measurement using Project Outcome tools. You will learn how to deploy outcome measures in your library, collect and use resulting data, and leverage the project's support network to ensure successful adoption. Be a part of a cohort of public libraries interested in implementing Project Outcome to drive change, influence decision making, and demonstrate the true impact of their library's programs and services on the community. The goal of Project Outcome is to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services. Project Outcome, an initiative of the Public Library Association, provides simple tools and a supportive online community of library leaders to help public libraries collect insights and data about all the ways we are meeting the needs of our communities. This understanding can improve the way public libraries do business - from allocating existing resources more efficiently to advocating for new resources more effectively. For more information about Project Outcome, visit www.ProjectOutcome.org. Prior to this workshop, you will: ? Complete a pre-workshop assignment including introductory materials and your library's strategic goals. During this workshop, you will: ? Review Project Outcome surveys and tools. ? Identify goals for outcome measurement in your library. ? Explore best practices for selecting and administering Project Outcome surveys. ? Examine processes to use outcome measurement results for ongoing programming changes and decision-making processes. ? Identify best practices for using outcome measurement results for advocacy, support, and fundraising. ? Discuss outcome measurement as it relates to strategic planning for the library and the community. ? Create a plan for implementing Project Outcome. Following this workshop, you will: ? Be invited to participate in two follow-up virtual meetings to continue learning, collaboration, and to receive support from the Project Outcome trainer and peers in your cohort. Evette M.

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is again asking for input on their ESSA Implementation Plan with Stakeholder Feedback Surveys. The deadline for responding to these surveys is Monday, January 16th. ALA and AASL worked diligently to ensure that the school library provisions (http://bit.ly/ESSAlib) were included in ESSA; yet, each state has autonomy in how they implement these provisions. MAME has been actively involved with MDE through a seat on the state ESSA Tactical Review Committee as well as holding an ESSA Focus Group with MDE at MAME?s annual conference. However, it is* important for the MDE to hear about the importance of effective school libraries to student achievement in our state from multiple voices.* Thus, your support and action is needed now! Go to the MDE ESSA ?Get Involved? Page and select one of the four options to provide your input. It is important that your input be provided in your own words. Please personalize your responses. [On the previous survey, MDE counted similar responses as one response.] The public survey is divided into five sections. Talking points for four of the sections are provided below. If you have any questions, please let us know. THANK YOU for your support! Kathy Lester MAME Advocacy Chair Lisa Kelly MAME President, 2017 TALKING POINTS FOR ESSA PUBLIC SURVEY OPTION 1.

Answer: The short answer is "no". There are many barcode registries, including one called the "National Barcode Registry". However, this registry only contains a fraction of all library barcodes in the United States and Canada, mostly those libraries that formerly used a system called GEAC, which is now maintained by Infor. You can still obtain a new, unique prefix assignment from this company, but you need to call them, as the service is not available online. There are several types of barcodes in use in libraries, as well as RFID . In most libraries, the first digit of the barcode indicates whether the code is for a patron or an item. The next4 digits are the library identifier. Since there are only 9,999 variations to this 4 digit ID, and there are many more libraries than that in the US alone, there is bound to be some overlap of these codes.

I'm hoping to find a unique (or relatively unique) 4-digit identifier. Since I've been told there isn't a national registry for this anymore, I thought I'd just check with all of you on the listserv whether your library uses any of the following three combinations as your library's code: 5141 2077 4380 If you use one of those four (or know a library that does), please let me know. Please reply off-list to cutlerlibrary at live.com [??] Also, if you have a supplier you love for barcodes/library cards, could you please share that information. Lastly, do you use a check-digit in your barcode and if so, which symbology do you use? Thank you very much! Jessica Little Library Director T.A.

The seven-member Board of Directors seeks a Director who will focus on the Library as a center of cultural vitality and participation that enhances the quality of life for all Ferndale residents. Serving 19,900 people with an annual $1.2 million operating budget and 25 staff, the Library strives to deliver stellar programs and services in its recently expanded and renovated building and outside its walls through community engagement efforts. New opportunities include initiating a new strategic planning process, an enhanced funding stream through the success of the 2016 millage election, continued and expanded partnerships with the Friends of the Ferndale Library (FFL), and partnerships with the Ferndale School District, the City of Ferndale and other community organizations and agencies. Responsibilities. Appointed by the Ferndale Public Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Library and plans, directs and coordinates all activities of the Library. The Library Director is expected to develop his or her own methods and to demonstrate resourcefulness, initiative, creativity and mature judgment in the performance of duties.

[https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/MILOM/2015/01/417111/431302/new-banner2_crop.jpg] Register now to celebrate Money Smart Week 2017 [Cathy Lancaster]The Library of Michigan encourages libraries to join the 2017 Money Smart Week campaign. Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2016, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of A Dollar For Penny for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before January 27: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017. --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 22-29, 2017. Between April 22-29, 2017, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 22-29, 2017. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/60655-a-dollar-for-penny?isbn=9780679889731 The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 22-29, 2017. Recommended age for A Dollar For Penny is 4 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before January 27. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 4. Between January 15th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the A Dollar For Penny book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By January 27th, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MoneySmartMichigan at gmail.com.

The memo also reports a drop in the median price of connectivity per Mbps from $22.00 in 2013 to $11.73 in 2015 and $7.05 in 2016. The report also points out that Category 2 budgets will begin to expire in 2019 and action to fund the program is therefore needed.

How it is setup and run determines whether it is a raffle or some other type of game. Since most Libraries do not charge money to attend their Summer Reading Programs or to win incentives (prizes), I would think they fall outside of the licensing requirements. However, if you are concerned you could contact the MI Lottery Charitable Gaming Office at (517) 335-5780.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a lottery or gift enterprise conducted by a person as a promotional activity that is clearly occasional and ancillary to the primary business of that person. As used in this subsection, "promotional activity" means an activity that is calculated to promote a business enterprise or the sale of its products or services, but does not include a lottery or gift enterprise involving the payment of money solely for the chance or opportunity to win a prize or a lottery or gift enterprise that may be entered by purchasing a product or service for substantially more than its fair market value The short answer is that it would seem that you are ok with both Summer Reading prizes AND a raffle, IF there is no cost to the patron - in other words, if you are giving away raffle tickets to every child who reads a book and then drawing prizes, you should be ok. If you are handing out giveaways to kids upon signing up for Summer Reading or upon reading a book, that should be ok too. However, if the Library itself wishes to fundraise using raffles, that could be an issue. I can find no rules or authority that addresses whether Public entities can obtain licenses for raffles, etc. Public entities such as libraries don't fall into any of the statutory or regulatory definitions. However, I also don't see anything - yet - that says they can't either. The statute governing licensing indicates that , under certain conditions, a license isn't required, so it may be that a Public library would fall under that exeption,: 432.105d Small and large raffle licenses; issuance. 4) A qualified organization is excused from the requirements of obtaining a license under this act if the qualified organization is sponsoring a single gathering and conducts a raffle before which there is no presale of tickets and the total aggregate retail value of the prize or prizes to be awarded that day is $100.00 or less. BUT I would encourage you to consult your attorney to confirm before you plan your event. ON THE OTHER HAND, a Friends Group, if it is a 501(c)3 entity, can certainly obtain a license for charitable gaming, and hold an event for the benefit of the library. For fundraising purposes, this may be your best bet. As James indicated, the Michigan Lottery has a good page on this topic, at http://www.michigan.gov/cg/ I hope this is helpful - Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance!

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.

Jeff Smith, author of* Becoming Amish*, will be speaking at the Caroline Kennedy Library in Dearborn Heights in April, and I would like to create a display of Amish artifacts to promote his presentation. However, I do not have a source for Amish artifacts (clothing, kitchen tools, quilts, etc.). I tried The Henry Ford and while they may have items, the cost of a loan would exceed the speaker's fee. If you know of a source in southeast Michigan that would be willing to lend Amish artifacts for free or low cost, I would greatly appreciate contact information.

Some great ideas in this new video: https://youtu.be/oVDfsm3NQhA. You can add your event information online between now and March 31st: http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. If you'd like to receive FREE copies of A Dollar for Penny to give out at youth programs, fill out this form by Friday: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017. See details below for more information on Money Smart Week. ~Cathy ******************************** Greetings Money Smart Week partner library! As a former Money Smart Kids Read Michigan library, I'm forwarding a copy of what the Library of Michigan sent out on my behalf a couple weeks ago (just to be sure you received the info.). IF YOUR LIBRARY HAS ALREADY SUBMITTED A SURVEYMONKEY, REQUESTING COPIES OF A DOLLAR FOR PENNY, GREAT! If you are no longer the correct contact for children's programming, please forward this email to the appropriate person(s). I'm asking for book requests to be placed by this Friday. PS: BRAND NEW! Please enjoy the awesome new MSW partner recruitment video produced right here in Michigan. NOTE: the many references to our fabulous libraries! https://youtu.be/oVDfsm3NQhA I intentionally produced this video montage to have national applicability and to be evergreen, so feel free to share far and wide! As always, thanks for all you do!!! Kelly Masters 248.761.1762 - - - The Library of Michigan encourages libraries to join the 2017 Money Smart Week campaign. Money Smart Week partners are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2016, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, for your Money Smart Week story time(s). Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of A Dollar For Penny for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before January 27: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017. --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 22-29, 2017. Between April 22-29, 2017, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 22-29, 2017. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/60655-a-dollar-for-penny?isbn=9780679889731 The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username hould still be valid. You'll simply need to update your password. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to (re-)register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 22-29, 2017. Recommended age for A Dollar For Penny is 4 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before January 27. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 4. Between January 30th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the A Dollar For Penny book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By January 27th, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general?

Westerville Public Library consistently receives a 5-star rating from Library Journal and has been named as one of Ohio's best employers and best companies, among other accolades. The Library has achieved these many awards and honors through the efforts of the 84 FTE staff by means of a $7.8 million budget and having circulated more than 2 million items in 2015. The Library is also supported by an active Friends group and dedicated Foundation- each of which provide funds and support to many programs and services provided by the Library, such as the Meet the Authors Series, the Local History Center and Anti-Saloon League Museum, the Homework Help Center and participation in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program.

The Library is located within walking distance to charming 'uptown' Westerville, which is home to many locally-owned stores and restaurants. The city has many educational opportunities with excellent public and private school systems and Otterbein University, a private four-year liberal arts college, and provides excellently-maintained bike paths and a recreation center, among other amenities.

Currently, the messages are sent via e-discussion lists that the Michigan library and educator communities have access to, namely, michlib-l at mcls.org, meldatabases at mcls.org, mamelist at mcls.org, and gmr-mhsla at list.uiowa.edu. In addition, as appropriate, the MeL Minute content is posted to http://mel.org/. Recently, we've added a new delivery method, GovDelivery, which is a system used by government organizations worldwide to increase digital engagement, connect with over 120 million citizens, build communities around data, and support training initiatives. Some of you may already receive GovDelivery messages from federal government agencies (Commerce, Census, Labor) as well as state of Michigan departments. So, what does all this have to do with the MeL Minute? It means that for individuals for whom subscription to one of the above mentioned e-discussion lists isn't an option, they can sign up for GovDelivery and get the same MeL Minute content that's delivered to the lists but without all the other postings and discussions . It's easy and quick. [cid:image002.png at 01D2763A.CE86FEE0] The direct link to this service is found on the Library of Michigan home page under Stay Connected. Potential subscribers enter a valid email address (or sign in using Facebook, Google, or Yahoo) to view the newsletter options offered by the Library of Michigan such as Library of Michigan Dispatch Newsletter and now, the MeL Minute.

Message-ID: Brought to you by the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services. Wednesday, 2/15/2017 Session 2 of the five-session series Re-envisioning Technical Services: Identifying Leadership and Talent Management Best Practices Over the past several years, the area of technical services has evolved and the boundaries of technical services has become fuzzy. The scope of technical services is changing and interconnecting with other areas of the profession. Library technical services departments and staff now have unique and special training needs prompted by changing standards, new formats, and innovative technologies. In addition, technical services, like other departments in libraries, are facing leadership and succession planning issues. In 2015-2016, the Association of Library Collections & Technical Services President's Program Committee designed an online survey that was sent out to librarians and staff in technical services (including Libraries in ARL, Oberlin, and the University Libraries Group) that asked 28 questions regarding the major issues faced by technical services including: What new skills are needed in technical services? How are libraries developing staff skills? How are libraries handling training needs? How are libraries addressing leadership (gaps and staff placed in new leadership roles)? How are libraries identifying emerging leaders? How are libraries dealing with succession planning? The presentation will highlight the results of the online survey and provide detailed information regarding new skills, training, leadership and succession planning.

The webinar will identify current trends in the broad library and scholarly publishing environments, the impact of digital technology on researchers' information workflows and scholarly communication, and the impact of open science on research and libraries. The potential role of technical services in driving library responses, including the curation of the scholarly record, a drive towards large-scale distributed library collections, and campus research information systems will all be reviewed in detail.

As always, thanks for all you do!!! Kelly Masters 248.761.1762 - - - The Library of Michigan encourages libraries to join the 2017 Money Smart Week campaign. Money Smart Week partners are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2016, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, for your Money Smart Week story time(s). Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of A Dollar For Penny for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before January 27: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017. --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 22-29, 2017. Between April 22-29, 2017, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of the Step Into Reading book, A Dollar For Penny, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 22-29, 2017. http://www.randomhousekids.com/books/detail/60655-a-dollar-for-penny?isbn=9780679889731 The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates has once again generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username hould still be valid. You'll simply need to update your password. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to (re-)register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 22-29, 2017. Recommended age for A Dollar For Penny is 4 - 6 years old. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this SurveyMonkey questionnaire before January 27. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 4. Between January 30th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books mid-March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the A Dollar For Penny book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week Partners website. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By January 27th, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 23. Please complete the Survey Monkey questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSW2017 Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general?

One thing I would like to start doing is having a monthly video game club. The idea is that we will have a few different consoles and games available for those ages 13-18 to play. Some of the games will be provided but, I also want to allow them to bring in their own, as we don't have a large number of our own. Now my question is how much should I worry about video game ratings? I know many popular games are rated M. I don't really want to restrict these but, at the same time I don't want to get angry phone calls from parents either. If your library currently has video game programs how do you deal with this issue? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

This Month's Wisdom... "Children also learn new words from one another while playing, or when looking at books on buildings or structures. In addition, dramatic play often grows out of constructive play, which leads to increased oral language production while the child is role-playing. " ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca STEM and Early Literacy [STEM]Many libraries have begun having more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs at their libraries for teens, school age and preschool children. But what, if any, connections are there between STEM and early literacy? We know that STEM programming encourages curiosity and critical thinking, but can you really relate this type of programming to early literacy practices? Before we explore that, I think it is important to realize that even though STEM topics and literacy skills appear to be two different disciplines, without well-developed literacy skills, children would not be able to engage in STEM exploration and activities. Reading Rockets has a wonderful quote on this: "Many of the skills that are critical for growing strong readers and writers are also core skills in the study of science and math. Predicting, understanding cause and effect, understanding sequence, acquiring a rich vocabulary, building background knowledge, and developing the ability to read and write informational text are some of the skills (common to both)." So with that understanding, let's look at the connections between the five practices and STEM programming. TALK - While doing various STEM activities, children can talk about what they are doing (narrative skills) explaining the process and results of any experiments they may do. They will also most definitely be introduced to new vocabulary by engaging in activities that encourage them to explore. SING - While working on or after completing STEM activities, songs can be a great extension. Here is just one example: Color Mixing - After sharing a book on colors, you can have children engage in color mixing, exploring on their own how colors can be combined to make new colors. Then, you can sing a song about colors such as "Let's Paint a Picture" by Jack Grunsky or "If You're Wearing Colors" by the Learning Station, or "A Rainbow of Colors" by Greg and Steve. [read]READ - One of the suggestions by the authors of the Every Child Ready to Read manual is for librarians to use more nonfiction books in their storytime programs. Keeping with the color theme mentioned above, a great nonfiction book to share with a color program or storytime is one of Jane Brocket's "Clever Concept" books, Ruby, Violet, Lime: Looking for Color. The very simple text explains how red, yellow and blue are primary or pure colors that can't be made by mixing different colors together. It then goes on to explain how one can mix primary colors to make more new colors which are called secondary colors. WRITE - Children can draw pictures about activities they are doing, but also, many of these activities require fine motor skills, which are skills that need developed to help later with learning to write. PLAY - Many libraries have added block play to their library programming to increase STEM experiences I am going to quote myself now J on the value of block play for early literacy. "We often tend to think children are primarily learning mathematical skills while playing with blocks. However, numerous studies have shown the positive effects of block and brick play on early literacy. Skills and abilities developed through block play are essential for success in reading and writing. One major effect is on language and vocabulary learning. Children are deciding what to build and selecting different sizes and shapes of blocks, but also are communicating with their peers and with adults. They often discuss their plans for building, and are eager to describe what they have built. With librarian or adult help, new vocabulary can be increased. (Example: "I see you have built a ramp/incline.") Children also learn new words from one another while playing, or when looking at books on buildings or structures. In addition, dramatic play often grows out of constructive play, which leads to increased oral language production while the child is role-playing. The value of oral language creation by children through dramatic play with blocks was documented by Isbell and Raines (1991). Their research study compared language production in two areas-a block center versus a housekeeping center, often considered an area that cultivates rich language. Their results found that the block center produced a greater amount of higher quality oral language than the housekeeping center. The children playing with blocks had greater verbal fluency (spoke more words), used more complete sentences, and generated more vocabulary diversity (total number of different words used). The researchers concluded that playing with blocks should be considered vital to the promotion of children's oral language development." The above quote is from a White Paper I researched and wrote for ALSC/ALA. A section follows on "Maximizing the Impact on Early Literacy" which gives suggestions on ways to make block play more literacy appropriate. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Squirrels]Here are three nonfiction books from 2016 that will be great to share with young children - two could specifically be used in STEM programs. Squirrels Leap, Squirrels Sleep. April Pulley Sayre. Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. Henry Holt, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-8050-9251-6. $17.99. The brief text is written in rhyme and covers all the things one would see a squirrel doing throughout the day. Squirrels wrestle. Squirrels leap. Squirrels climb. And squirrels sleep. Award-winning artist Steve Jenkins' illustrations will be easily seen and appreciated if the book is shared with a preschool audience. Four pages of nonfiction information about squirrels are included in back of the book. [Josephine] I Am Josephine (and I am a Living Thing). Jan Thornhill and Jacqui Lee. Owlkids Books, 2016. ISBN: 978-1-77147-156-5. $18.95. Josephine is a girl, a big sister, a human being, a mammal, an animal, and a living thing. Colorful illustrations accompany a text that could also be shared in a program about how human beings fit into the earth and how each human is unique, which means "there is no one else on Earth who is exactly like you!" A double-page spread in the back of the book defines each of these terms: living things; animals; mammals; and human beings. Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Peggy Lee. Holt, 2016. ISBN: 978-1-62779-304-9. $17.99. This is a beautifully illustrated song picture book of the song made famous by Peggy Lee. I dare you to try to read it, rather than sing it! This will be great to share in any winter or snow storytime program for preschoolers. "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland." [winter] ________________________________ Websites of the Month ________________________________ [Stem]Here are several web sites that will be helpful to librarians who want to do STEM or STEAM (adding arts) programs for preschoolers. 1. The Show Me Librarian "Welcome to ALL things STEAM, a resource for offering library programming in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics." There is a complete section on preschool programming. 2. STEM in Libraries Not all programs here are for preschoolers, but there are many that are just for preschoolers or for all ages. There are many ideas here! 3. Simply STEM Again, this is a very rich site, and all the programs here are for preschoolers. They are divided by: General Programs; S.T.E.M. in Storytimes; and Materials for Implementing STEM Programs. 4. Surprise! It's STEM for Toddlers This is an interesting article about programs for the youngest patrons that come to our library! Reflections... [babies]One of the reasons there has been so much emphasis on STEM in the past few years is because there is a huge gap between STEM related careers and the number of children/teens who are studying subjects to qualify for these jobs in the future. It has also been found that this gap is the largest for at-risk and minority children. So how can we reach these children with STEM programs and books that support STEM learning? Of course, this is always the hard question to answer for anything we do in libraries. How do we reach parents of at-risk young children with the messages we would like to impart on the ECRR five practices? Particularly if we are working at a library where staff and time is short and outreach is almost impossible. One thing we might consider is reaching those adults who work with at-risk youth. By having a continuing education workshop for Head Start and preschool teachers at the library OR at an already scheduled workshop for these teachers being held by local education organizations, we can indirectly reach these children. Not only can we share books (picture books and easy nonfiction books) but also some simple hands-on activities that would be great for preschool children. Teachers should welcome this help!

The list of free library-related webinars for February is now available at: http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/55-plus-free-february-webinars-for-library-staff.html. Highlights include: February 3 Teaching Digital Literacy with TechBoomers.com and Other Online Resources (Nebraska Library Commission) A big part of the TechBoomers.com mission is to empower libraries and other technology training organizations by offering our free video and article tutorials to help them teach digital literacy. Libraries of all sizes find our educational content to be a great asset to build their programs around, as it saves them the time and effort of preparing training materials for websites that are constantly changing. TechBoomers.com can also be a valuable tool to encourage students to continue learning at home on their own time. To help spread the word about this, TechBoomers.com has teamed up with the Nebraska Library Commission to run a webinar that will explain all the ways libraries can leverage free resource websites like TechBoomers.com to help them teach digital literacy. The Networking Game (Siera) The Networking Game is the art of discovering patterns in the world and making useful connections for ourselves and for others. It is about weaving new options into our safety nets. Networks are based on the interests each individual pursues; in fact, we like to think of people as explorers with many kinds of quests. The rules of networking keep us on track.

We made it look attractive and printed it on a 5x7 laminated card and put it by all our computers to explain what we will help patrons with. I?ve shared it below in case something similar might be helpful to you. If patrons need extensive computer help we do allow them to sign up for 1-on-1 help with a staff member (half hour session) but entering private information would not be done during that session. This document and the 1-on-1 sessions have together been very helpful when patrons are asking for things that would violate their privacy or are beyond what we have the staff time to help with them with. WHEN YOU NEED COMPUTER HELP: In general, we can help you: Open the internet and go to a specific website if you have the URL. Open a Word document. Print a document that you have already opened/created. Attach files to an email. Print a tax form. Please bring someone to assist you with: Typing. Creating a resume. Finding forms other than tax forms, filling out forms on a website. Navigating within websites or finding specific websites if you don?t have the URL. Accessing legal, private, personal, or confidential information (online banking, government documents, unemployment, etc.) Bringing an assistant or trusted friend may be necessary for you to accomplish your tasks. Thank you!

We, like many libraries, offer tech help. A patron requested that we help her set up an E-Harmony account and I am not sure if this is something we should be doing as a library. I know dating websites require a lot of personal information, and this one even requires billing information. Do any of you have advice on this situation?

We passed the following policy, which worked well: Any patron 17 years of age or older may participate in M-rated gaming. Those under 17 must be accompanied by a guardian to participate or have the guardian give verbal permission on the day of the event to the event planner. All M-rated gaming will be held in a room separate from family-appropriate video games. AO (Adult Only) games are prohibited. Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 12:01:06 -0500 From: Danielle Fox To: michlib-l at mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Teen Programming Question Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Good afternoon, I am currently working on adding a few teen programs at the Holly Township Library. One thing I would like to start doing is having a monthly video game club. The idea is that we will have a few different consoles and games available for those ages 13-18 to play. Some of the games will be provided but, I also want to allow them to bring in their own, as we don't have a large number of our own. Now my question is how much should I worry about video game ratings? I know many popular games are rated M. I don't really want to restrict these but, at the same time I don't want to get angry phone calls from parents either. If your library currently has video game programs how do you deal with this issue? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.
