Circulate The Greatest Number Of MAP Passes This Summer, And Win Another One! All, As you are aware, the Michigan Activity Pass program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year http://tln.lib.mi.us/mapcvr/Files/MAP%202017_Release_FINAL.pdf The 10th year of MAP starts next Wednesday, May 24. In order to build in an additional wow! factor, as well as to increase awareness among library staff when it comes to all the great destination venues that can be accessed via the Michigan Activity Pass program, and then of course promoted to library patrons, TLN went shopping. On Black Friday. Or maybe it was on Cyber Monday?! For Kindle Fire tablets. Whichever day, we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. At a very, very good price. Now, the real fun begins...we get to start giving those tablets to participating MAP libraries! For the peak MAP usage months of June, July, and August, we will award one Kindle Fire tablet (5th generation; 7" display; 8gb; quad-core processor; dual cameras; microSD slot for up to 128gb of expandable storage) to the libraries in their respective library cooperatives that circulate the greatest number of MAP passes that month. Four libraries will win in June. This includes libraries in Woodlands, Detroit, Suburban, and Southwest library cooperatives. Four libraries will win in July. This includes libraries in Superiorland, Northland, Mid-Michigan, and Lakeland library cooperatives. Three libraries will win in August. This includes libraries in MidEastern, White Pine, and TLN library cooperatives. That makes for a total of 11 Kindle Fire tablets! Prizes will be awarded in early July, early August, and early September to the winning libraries, based on MAP circulation totals from the previous month. We will ship the tablet to the winning library via RIDES (or for the winning TLN library, TLN) delivery. We know you already promote MAP to your patrons, and we are very appreciative of that fact. But now you can help win a Kindle Fire tablet for your library by really, really promoting MAP to your patrons! We make promotion easy by providing you with brochures (just updated for 2017-18, now includes accessibility information), posters, bookmarks, a PowerPoint presentation, etc all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ For library cooperative directors, please feel free to share the information about our June/July/August MAP contest with staff in any of your member libraries that may not be subscribed to the Michlib-l listserv. Now, I said we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. Yes, we did. But there are only 11 library cooperatives. What's up with that? We need to give away 12 tablets! So, let's start the party right now by giving away that 12th Kindle Fire tablet. The first library that is a participating MAP library that correctly answers the below *** question, will win that 12th Kindle Fire tablet! Here are the guidelines for today's MAP quiz contest: 1. Your library must be included in the MAP database http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ Every public library in Michigan is included in the MAP database, making every public library eligible to win! 2. More than one library will submit the correct answer, as the question isn't hard, and every person who is reading this message is an information professional. As that is the case, the first library with the correct answer as determined by the time stamp of their email answer back to me, will be declared the winner. 3. TLN and/or its staff are not eligible to win. Here is your question. Drum roll, please: Or for more fun, get warmed up by listening to this tune from the 1960's which, if you are old enough like me, you will remember :( Even if you aren't, you still have to admit that it has a pretty darn good drum roll part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M ***What is the name of the SMALLEST place in Michigan to have not just one but two, destinations in the MAP http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ database??? We are looking for the name of the place in which the two MAP destinations are located, as defined by the USPS. For bonus credit: include the population of this SMALLEST place in your answer. I took that population number from Wikipedia, and as information professionals we know Wikipedia is never wrong, right? :) If you answer the bonus credit question correctly, you get to choose between one of the 11 black, special Kindle Fire tablets, and the 12th really, really special Kindle Fire tablet. The 12th tablet is really, really special because it is blue. Or maybe it is really, really special only if you like blue? Otherwise, it is identical to the other 11. Those are all black. And they are special. But I think I said that already. The contest for that 12th, really, really special Kindle Fire tablet starts right now. Send your answer to me via email, preferably before anyone else does. I don't work weekends, so it is likely the winning library will not be announced until Monday. Go!

Circle Drive - Rm.W441 East Lansing, MI 48824-1048 517-884-0873 I've worked with both Envisionware's Library Document Scanner (LDS) and Today's Business Solution's (TBS) Simple Scan. They're both excellent. Both can be used to scan or convert to all the usual places. Our current TBS Simple Scan can also be a fax machine and can translate pages into multiple languages. The Envisionware product we had at GDL could only scan one side at a time via the doc feeder on the bed scanner. The TBS has an additional scanner (in addition to the flat bed) that can scan both sides simultaneously, which is cool. Maybe LDS has a similar scanner, but we didn't have it in Grand Blanc. The TBS Simple Scan cost us just under $5,000 for all the equipment (screen/PC unit, and the two scanners). There is also a small, yearly maintenance fee. We have an Epson GT-20000 that is networked, and the software is loaded on all of the patron PC's that are on that floor. Any PC can access it. It's a very capable scanner. We use one for our digital imaging, too. Don't know if Epson makes it still; I am sure they have a similar model now. But we also enabled scanning on our Xerox copy machines (along with email scanning - very popular and free vs $1/page for fax) and have found that it's much easier for the patrons to use. Our scanner sees little use now, and I am angling to remove it from the public floor. We had one at our branch that we have remove because it never gets used since the copy machines scan. Mark Ehle Computer Support Librarian Willard Library Battle Creek, MI My library is purchasing a Simple Scan Station from BayScan Technologies. It is expensive - approximately $5,000 for the equipment and software and $900 per year for parts replacement and software updates. The Friends are paying half. Two other libraries in our area have the machine and they love it and usage is high. Patrons can scan to a USB device, email or Google docs and do not have to access the Internet. If you want to charge, there is a coin op system available for purchase. Jacalynn Harvey Director Roseville Public Library 29777 Gratiot Avenue Roseville, MI 48066 586-445-5407 586-445-5499 FAX This should be available on your coin op copier. You would have to write directions, but it has been pretty easy. Our self service scanner/fax services is an Envisionware Library Document System. Very easy self serve front end, but not cheap, we spent 7,000 $$ on it and think it was definitely worth it. ConnieJo Ozinga cjozinga at commercelibrary.info We have 3 patron copiers that have scanning capabilities. It is 80% patron driven. We show the other 20% how to do it. We always recommended it as an option to faxing. Good luck.

Below are the responses I received: For our regular collection, we use Brodart. I do not know much about the processing cost, however I know that they do offer it. For the most part they are fairly fast and reliable (for the more popular and well known titles) for less popular and more obscure they tend to take longer. I would not recommend using them for any foreign language collection (i.e. books in other languages) with the exception of Spanish. As for the cost, to me it seems fairly reasonable, however I have yet to compare them to another vendor. Typically we pay anywhere from $20-$30 dollars for hardcover (depending on size) and $9-$15 for paperback. Please keep in mind that I only order Biographies and International books, so my numbers may not be as accurate. Below is a link I found that contains some information you may find helpful. Best of luck. http://www.brodartbooks.com/library-collection-development/bibz-online-ordering/page.aspx?id=277 I used Ingram at a library in West Virginia, and use Baker and Taylor at my current library. In neither case did we pay for processing, but did that in house. I haven't made the switch to Ingram (B & T was the supplier here before I came), primarily because I haven't had the time to do an intensive review of the respective contracts. However, I was much happier with Ingram's website, book selection, and timeliness of delivery. I realize this is apples and oranges - it's possible B & T has a much more efficient processing division than does Ingram - but, for what it's worth, that is my experience. B & T has a way better discount for adult fiction hardcovers and paperbacks. Stuff comes fast. We don't have processing - so I don't know about that. We use Baker & Taylor and their delivery time for a processed book is usually 7 days, with hot tiles taking a little longer. They are easy to work with and do not require a guaranteed yearly purchase amount. There processing fee per items is very reasonable and I am sure they would be willing to give you a quote. Mike Gooding is our sales rep and a great person to deal with. We also checked out Brodart Books for preprocessing print as a possible secondary source. We do not get any of our books fully processed. So, I can't really say how long it would take. We buy most of our books from Baker & Taylor. We pay for the cataloging, which I download to our catalog. My staff does the actual processing of adding a barcode, security strip, spine label and covering the dust jacket In Dexter, we split between Ingram and Baker and Taylor for the bulk of our ordering. BT seems to come in about 1.5 to 2 weeks after the order if it has processing. We dropped processing on our automatically yours titles and do the spine labels and mylar in house. This gets the top fiction in on or before the retail release date. For our regular books, mylar is 65? and spine labels are 9? per item. Years ago, I was told not to adjust my processing profile because the costs would go up, so I haven't. We use Emery-Pratt here in Owosso. We are very happy with them, although we may receive some added perks since they are a local company. Since we tend to order before books are published, I don't really know how long it takes them to ship after an order is placed; it varies depending upon the publisher. In our case we have them do some processing, but not the cataloging. They also deliver to us rather than ship since we are only a couple of miles away; we have asked that they batch most items and drop them off once a week rather than receive just a few things a day.

Registration is $140 for members and $249 for non-members. Dear Library Vision Community, Many of us are aware of the transformative power of public libraries. Yet some public libraries remain disconnected from the communities they seek to serve. How can we bridge this gap? On July 12, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. (EST) The Aspen Institute Dialogue on Public Libraries joins forces with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) to bring you "Public Library Innovations: A Story of Community Engagement." The webinar will be a great resource for library leaders and city/county mangers interested in designing more effective strategies for aligning library services with priorities of their community. Through a case study approach, this webinar will present practical and actionable ideas in transforming your public library and community. Guest speakers will include: Amy Garmer, Director, Aspen Institute Dialogue on Public Libraries Jaime Laughter, County Manager, Transylvania County, North Carolina Anna Yount, Library Director, Transylvania County Library By the end of the webinar, participants will: * Be familiar with the tools and processes of the Aspen Institute Action Guide, including the three pathways (Learning, Leading, Implementing) and activities focused on a strengths-based approach to community development. * Learn techniques and models for engaging a broad cross section of community stakeholders to help define a vision for the library that aligns with the vision for the community, and to shape the activities that will help you get there. * Understand how to synthesize information and data from many sources into a well-organized plan with clear, measurable goals for the library and community. * Be able to identify contacts and resources for further information. I encourage you to register for the webinar with your city/county manager and share the announcement with your network! You can register here: https://icma.org/node/92703.

Registration form: http://bit.ly/ML4L2017 [smalllogo-01(1) (1).png] If you could save a life, would you? Most people would say ?Yes!? without hesitation. One of the simplest ways to save and improve lives is by supporting organ, tissue, and eye donation. Since 2010, libraries across Michigan have participated in a simple and effective campaign to educate patrons about donation and transplantation and to give them an opportunity to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry. The campaign is called Michigan Libraries for Life. This statewide campaign, which includes public, academic, special and hospital libraries of all sizes has inspired nearly 3,500 people to sign up as donors! ?Libraries have been great partners in saving and healing lives,? said Dorrie Dils, Gift of Life Michigan?s CEO. ?They?ve been enthusiastically educating the public on the facts of organ, tissue and eye donation for the past seven years. Thanks to this strong partnership, Michigan Libraries for Life gives hope to the 3,500 Michigan patients waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.? More than 95% of Americans support organ, tissue and eye donation. Yet in Michigan, only 59% of adults have joined the state?s donor registry. That discrepancy is largely due to residents not knowing how to join the donor registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that information need. ?Someone you know probably needs - or will someday need - a lifesaving organ or tissue transplant. People die waiting because not enough organs are available. Your library can be a great help by registering donors and providing information about organ donation,? said Anne Rau, Capital Area District Library librarian, and living kidney donor. ?By participating in Michigan Libraries for Life your library is helping to save lives.? [library in action 2.jpg] University of Michigan Shapiro Undergraduate Library 2014 We are excited to bring this lifesaving event back in 2017! Libraries are welcome to participate by staffing a registration table in their libraries for however long they are able, from just a few hours to all 7 days. This year?s drive will start on Tuesday, October 10th and run through Monday, October 16th. Gift of Life Michigan will provide a free in-person training (dates and locations TBD). We have also developed web-based training materials for those who are unable to attend the in-person sessions. ?I enjoyed taking part in this well-orchestrated event,? commented one recent Michigan Libraries For Life participant. ?I hope to participate again next year.? The key to this program's success is the participation of many libraries across the state. Your library is warmly invited to join the 2017 Michigan Libraries for Life organ donor registration drive.

This places the fate of critical library funding programs in the hands of fewer than three dozen members of Congress from 25 states. The next critical juncture for FY 2018 federal library funding will come when the House and Senate appropriations subcommittees with jurisdiction over IMLS and those critical programs meet to vote on what to cut and which programs to fund at what specific levels. Right now, the members of the "Labor HHS" Subcommittees are working on the FY18 budget. MLA members and library supporters who live in Michigan's 4th Congressional District please contact Rep. John Moolenaar through the ALA Legislative Action Center and ask him to fund LSTA at $186.6 million and IAL at $27 million in FY 2018. As a constituent of one of these few, key Members of Congress you have the real power to help save IMLS and keep LSTA and IAL from being cut or eliminated.

It's the same one we sent out last week. But the response was so low that we're concerned it got lost amidst the holidays so we are re-issuing it. We need your help! The Library of Michigan has engaged a professional film crew to produce three videos about the Michigan eLibrary. They will be 2-4 minutes in length and feature schools, library staff, library buildings, and patrons. We plan to take what we learned from the successful business videos that we produced last year and parlay that into this new series. And we're looking to you for great stories to include! One video will talk about how valuable MeLCat is to the residents of the state. We want to tell the story of how MeLCat increases the capacity of even the tiniest Michigan library to provide millions of books and other library resources to their residents. We're doing something that benefits 10 million people and it involves 90% of the public libraries and almost all of the academic libraries in the state. Let's sing about it! Do you have patrons who use MeLCat in interesting ways? What about your super-users? Would they be good on camera? Contact Deb Renee Biggs at 517-373-4466 or biggsd at michigan.gov and let her know. We need the very best stories to float to the top! Another video will talk about the impact of the MeL databases. We need to get in touch with patrons who have used the MeL databases to further their education at the high school or college level, to push into a new career field, to pursue their hobbies, to research family history, fix their cars, satisfy their curiosity, save money or bring money or business to their communities, or assist their employer. The last video talk about the success of using MeL resources at Cody High School, the Detroit Institute of Technology College Prep High School. Gale's Cody Academy Program sends volunteers to the Detroit school. In collaboration with the Cody principal and one of the English teachers, Gale staff works with three senior English classes. A big side benefit to our efforts early on was the introduction of Cody staff to resources that were available to them free through MeL. Because of budget cuts, Cody, like other Detroit schools had recently lost their media specialists, and teachers and the administration were unaware of these resources. We're planning to shoot the videos in August and September and we need your help in identifying patrons who have benefitted from MeL. Do you have patrons with a great story to tell about the impact MeL has had on their lives? Do you have patrons that are articulate and would be proud to represent their new-found knowledge on camera? We're looking to you to share those stories with us as we seek out the best MeL tales in the state and get them recorded for all to see. Due to the practicalities of the shooting schedule, locations need to be within a one and a half hour drive of Lansing. Ideally, we would speak with more than one person at each stop so put on your thinking caps and aggregate the good news you have to share about MeL. Contact Deb Renee Biggs at the Library of Michigan at 517-373-4466 or biggsd at michigan.gov with your story.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" An urgent call for action in Michigan's 4th Congressional District (Central Michigan, https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/MI/4). -Steve ________________________________ From: Michigan Library Association Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 4:44 PM Subject: MLA Weekly: Networking - July 6, 2017 MLA Weekly July 6, 2017 Subcommittees to Save, Cut or Kill Library Funding After months of advocacy around the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program "Dear Appropriator" letters, the appropriations process has moved into the hands of two key House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees. This places the fate of critical library funding programs in the hands of fewer than three dozen members of Congress from 25 states. The next critical juncture for FY 2018 federal library funding will come when the House and Senate appropriations subcommittees with jurisdiction over IMLS and those critical programs meet to vote on what to cut and which programs to fund at what specific levels. Right now, the members of the "Labor HHS" Subcommittees are working on the FY18 budget. MLA members and library supporters who live in Michigan's 4th Congressional District please contact Rep. John Moolenaar through the ALA Legislative Action Center and ask him to fund LSTA at $186.6 million and IAL at $27 million in FY 2018. As a constituent of one of these few, key Members of Congress you have the real power to help save IMLS and keep LSTA and IAL from being cut or eliminated. For more information about federal library funding, LSTA, and IAL, please visit District Dispatch.

Makerspaces and business incubators have become featured attractions in public and academic libraries and provide a unique way to reach out to a user group that can bolster a community in dynamic ways. ALAO seeks submissions for the ?Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation? volume that delve beyond examples and case studies to look at how library leaders can develop support for innovation and entrepreneurship within their libraries. Examples include but are not limited to: analyzing case studies from several institutions to identify best practices; ways of designing library spaces to ensure they meet the needs of all constituents; theoretical discussions on how activities/spaces supporting entrepreneurship and innovation reflect the mission of libraries; creative ways to get resources to support efforts in these areas; how these areas can lead to new kinds of collaborations that benefit libraries. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: * How the historical and cultural role of libraries has changed (or not) to include services that support creativity and innovation * How and why the development of makerspaces and incubators (or other innovative programs) supports the larger community in which the library is situated * How innovative and entrepreneurial support develops new partnerships, and how those partnerships can be sustained. This will be the first volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2019. About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series answers the questions, ?How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?? It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries. How to submit If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send an abstract of 300 words or less as well as author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha Hines at shines at pencol.edu by August 31, 2017. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: August 31, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: October 31, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: February 15, 2018 Comments returned to authors: April 30, 2018 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: June 30, 2018 __ Beth Martin GVSU, University Libraries Head of Professional Programs & Interim Head of Liberal Arts DEV 132A, Steelcase Library martelia at gvsu.edu 616.331.7344 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" An urgent call for action in Michigan's 4th Congressional District (Central Michigan, https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/MI/4). -Steve ________________________________ From: Michigan Library Association Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 4:44 PM Subject: MLA Weekly: Networking - July 6, 2017 MLA Weekly July 6, 2017 Subcommittees to Save, Cut or Kill Library Funding After months of advocacy around the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program "Dear Appropriator" letters, the appropriations process has moved into the hands of two key House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees. This places the fate of critical library funding programs in the hands of fewer than three dozen members of Congress from 25 states. The next critical juncture for FY 2018 federal library funding will come when the House and Senate appropriations subcommittees with jurisdiction over IMLS and those critical programs meet to vote on what to cut and which programs to fund at what specific levels. Right now, the members of the "Labor HHS" Subcommittees are working on the FY18 budget. MLA members and library supporters who live in Michigan's 4th Congressional District please contact Rep. John Moolenaar through the ALA Legislative Action Center and ask him to fund LSTA at $186.6 million and IAL at $27 million in FY 2018. As a constituent of one of these few, key Members of Congress you have the real power to help save IMLS and keep LSTA and IAL from being cut or eliminated. For more information about federal library funding, LSTA, and IAL, please visit District Dispatch.

It's the same one we sent out last week. But the response was so low that we're concerned it got lost amidst the holidays so we are re-issuing it. We need your help! The Library of Michigan has engaged a professional film crew to produce three videos about the Michigan eLibrary. They will be 2-4 minutes in length and feature schools, library staff, library buildings, and patrons. We plan to take what we learned from the successful business videos that we produced last year and parlay that into this new series. And we're looking to you for great stories to include! One video will talk about how valuable MeLCat is to the residents of the state. We want to tell the story of how MeLCat increases the capacity of even the tiniest Michigan library to provide millions of books and other library resources to their residents. We're doing something that benefits 10 million people and it involves 90% of the public libraries and almost all of the academic libraries in the state. Let's sing about it! Do you have patrons who use MeLCat in interesting ways? What about your super-users? Would they be good on camera? Contact Deb Renee Biggs at 517-373-4466 or biggsd at michigan.gov and let her know. We need the very best stories to float to the top! Another video will talk about the impact of the MeL databases. We need to get in touch with patrons who have used the MeL databases to further their education at the high school or college level, to push into a new career field, to pursue their hobbies, to research family history, fix their cars, satisfy their curiosity, save money or bring money or business to their communities, or assist their employer. The last video talk about the success of using MeL resources at Cody High School, the Detroit Institute of Technology College Prep High School. Gale's Cody Academy Program sends volunteers to the Detroit school. In collaboration with the Cody principal and one of the English teachers, Gale staff works with three senior English classes. A big side benefit to our efforts early on was the introduction of Cody staff to resources that were available to them free through MeL. Because of budget cuts, Cody, like other Detroit schools had recently lost their media specialists, and teachers and the administration were unaware of these resources. We're planning to shoot the videos in August and September and we need your help in identifying patrons who have benefitted from MeL. Do you have patrons with a great story to tell about the impact MeL has had on their lives? Do you have patrons that are articulate and would be proud to represent their new-found knowledge on camera? We're looking to you to share those stories with us as we seek out the best MeL tales in the state and get them recorded for all to see. Due to the practicalities of the shooting schedule, locations need to be within a one and a half hour drive of Lansing. Ideally, we would speak with more than one person at each stop so put on your thinking caps and aggregate the good news you have to share about MeL. Contact Deb Renee Biggs at the Library of Michigan at 517-373-4466 or biggsd at michigan.gov with your story.

Do any of you have fun signage in your nonfiction sections (or anywhere, for that matter) that shows your patrons general subject areas? For instance: "Cooking", "True Crime", "Art", "Poetry", "Psychology", etc.? If so, could you please send photographs? And any information on where you ordered them? Our library is trying to update our collection and make it easier for patrons to navigate areas like non-fiction. I know that the Dewey Decimal System is particularly difficult for non-librarians (civilians :)), and so we're just looking for ideas to make everything easier to find and fun to see.

I am including them below instead of attaching them because michlib-l doesn't include attachments in digest form or the archive. Thanks, Janelle Here is my original question: For the techie people out there, (Please excuse any cross posting) I would like to create a new website for a small archive/collection (that our library has) that centers around the Newbery award winning author, Marguerite de Angeli. We had one previously (that was live when I started working here about 9 years ago) but it was on a server that died. We were able to salvage some of the pages and information from it. It will mostly be information about the author and her works but will include pictures of the collection and possibly pathfinder(s) for it also. I have the option of hosting a site through godaddy and using wordpress to create it or creating a google site. Has anyone created websites using wordpress and/or a google site? If so, do you have any feedback on creating, maintaining (etc.) websites with either method? Is one easier to use than another? Is either method unsuitable for this purpose? Is there a better but still cost effective option out there for this purpose? (Keeping in mind, that I had one or two webdesign and programming classes in college but I have not done anything since then.) I want to avoid creating a website with either method and discover that it can't do what I would like it to do, so I would be grateful for any feedback that you can give me. I can compile responses if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance, Janelle ?Here are the responses that I received: ?I have had a lot of luck with both Weebly and Wix for free website creation. Hi Janelle, I created a WordPress site for our church library website. On Blogger (Google) I've had 3 websites. The biggest problem with each is the blog format means order is the most recent first. It works on the 2 Blogger sites because of the way they are structured (although sometimes my main blog needs a reminder to catch all articles when I have a multi-part series). I'm also the webmaster for a storytelling site. It uses a Google "classic" site and I'm not sure how the "new" sites differ. I am uncertain if both new and classic are still offered. I can tell you that the classic site gets past the blog problem of the last post is what you see first offered on both WordPress and Blogger. I think the Google sites will do what you want and is not only flexible, but easily maintained. Any reservations? Yes, I'm finding sites now need to be both full screen and mobile versions. I also find many templates look exactly like that...a template. My own storytelling website was made with a webdesign program that was a more user-friendly WYSIWYG program giving results comparable to Dreamweaver. I went through various versions and they've now made it a "legacy" product, so I won't suggest it. I've been holding off on how I'm going to create a mobile version. In that respect I look forward to whatever results you receive. I'm also going to give my own experience with GoDaddy. I started there and you can definitely do better even though it's a well-known source used by many. It's been ages since I worked with them, so my memory of problems is very hazy, but know I was able to do much better way back by switching to Earthlink (remember them?) and eventually away to my own provider. My recommendation, if you don't need to go with a freebie option, is contact Host My Site.com -- U.S. based and 24/7 support by phone, chat, or email. It includes domain management (my site and my blogs), automatic yearly billing if wished, and a webmail account, although I suspect the library's email will be what you use. I've been with them for many years. I also know someone who thinks equally highly of Kingwebhost and has used them for many storytellers and storytelling organizations. I could put you in touch with her if you like. The de Angeli collection is a real gem that deserves online promotion! Best wishes in your efforts. In response to this, I have not used either of the other websites. I have, however, created a website for my church as was able to use templates to help make it look better. The website is wix.com. You have a free version, but you will be littered with wix ads. However, it does give you several premium options. It's best to try and snag it when there is a sale. But in the end I find this website to be easy to use and not too terrible on the wallet. The options we chose was like $28 for the domain this is covered for the year (extra was added to protect my identity), and $16 for the website premium for each month. Did you get some good information? I was going to respond earlier but it's been a crazy week. We started using Wordpress for our website and I love it. I used DreamWeaver for about 10 years prior and this is so much easier. If you had any specific questions, I am open to try to help you. We have regular menus and pages, plus a calendar. And we have a blog. There are many, many free templates that you would never know are free for wordpress because they look lovely. We used a free one for a couple of years and then decided to spend $50 on one that we liked. We pay for our web address and storage through Blue Host for all of our files. That costs 4.95 per month. These are the only costs involved. I can update from anywhere that I have internet access. A much better option for us. Hope this helps a bit. ? -- ?Thanks, Janelle?

Message-ID: Source: http://www.ala.org/tools/readytocode On Thursday, June 22, 2017, the American Library Association announced a competitive grant program sponsored by Google that will fund a cohort of school and public libraries to develop resources to help get U.S. libraries "Ready to Code." The $500,000 pilot program is part of Phase III of Libraries Ready to Code, an ongoing collaboration between ALA and Google to ensure expert library professionals are prepared to develop and deliver programming that promotes computer science and computational thinking among youth, two skills that will be required for challenges and jobs of the future. 25 to 50 participating libraries will receive funding from ALA, along with consulting expertise and operational support from Google. Individual libraries may use funding for devices, staffing, marketing and other costs associated with piloting an educational toolkit developed in partnership, by libraries, for libraries. The toolkit, set to release in conjunction with National Library Week in April 2018, will consist of computer science resources that libraries find most useful for designing and implementing youth computer science programming. This cohort of libraries will also initiate a community of practice to sustain momentum and build expertise across thousands of school and public U.S. libraries. Applications Open Soon YALSA, in partnership with ALA's Office for Information Technology Policy as well as AASL and ALSC, is administering the $500,000 sponsorship from Google. The program will run from July 2017 through June 2018. Sign up for updates here. We will email you when the application is open in mid-to-late July. In preparation for applying, check out our list of resources to learn more about Ready to Code concepts, computational thinking, and successful programs that highlight computational thinking and coding through libraries. Libraries Ready to Code is a project of the American Library Association's Office for Information Technology Policy. Through research, continuing education and resource development the Libraries Ready to Code project aims to empower library staff working with youth and families to design computational thinking activities for informal learning settings.

Wikipedia for Libraries: Preview the Possibilities, Discover the Opportunities Wednesday, July 19, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/wikipedia-for-libraries.html Wikipedia is more than its collection of user-contributed articles; it is a dynamic community with powerful tools that ensure reliability. For public libraries, Wikipedia can be a useful tool to connect patrons with quality information and help them build information literacy skills. In this webinar, learn how you can use Wikipedia to expand access to your collections and creatively engage your communities. Gain an understanding of the editorial process from OCLC's Wikipedian-in-Residence and discover how guest presenter Tiffany Bailey has successfully used Wikipedia for community outreach and partnership-building at Dallas Public Library. You'll leave with new insights about Wikipedia and practical tips on how to apply what you've learned.

But how well do we understand what measures tell the most meaningful stories of today?s libraries? During the first two webinars in this series, we discussed the current state of the public library data landscape ? what data collection efforts exist at the national level and how they impact what we know about libraries and their patrons. In this third webinar, we will look toward the future, considering what data public librarians should collect to demonstrate their impact. To do this, we will hear from speakers both within and outside of the library field who will provide multiple perspectives on meaningful measures. This webinar is the third in a three-part series about the Institute of Museum and Library Services? and the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies? Measures that Matter initiative, a field-wide discussion of the current state of public library data. Presented by: Chantal Stevens, Executive Director, Community Indicators Consortium; Rebecca Jones, Director, Branch & Neighborhood Services, Brampton Public Library; and Linda Hofschire, Director, Library Research Service, Colorado State Library More Than #MotivationMonday: Motivating Your Team Any Day of the Week Thursday, August 17, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/motivating-your-team.html Employees motivated to deliver top notch service are key to a library?s success. But many in library organizations don?t know how to effectively instigate employee motivation. As a critical management and leadership skill, it?s important to know what motivation is and isn't, what works and what doesn?t. In this session, we?ll explore factors that influence motivation at work and review strategies for supervisors to keep their teams motivated and productive. No matter the size of your library or your role, you will be inspired to find your own motivation and be able to catalyze others! Presented by: Rachel G.

We took the results of that study very seriously and implemented many of the changes that were revealed as desired enhancements. The vendor with whom we work has also had a number of product improvements. We'd like to thank the staff and patrons of the Jackson District Library who have agreed to participate in a follow-up study to determine whether these changes improve the success rate of the MeLCat request process. We'll also be working with non-patrons-mid-Michigan residents who do not currently have a library card-to see if MeLCat is intuitive for them. That study will take place this summer with results to be announced in the fall. Stay tuned! Have you noticed the recent changes to MeLCat and the Articles & eResources search? Here they are: * Records with more holdings attached to them are weighted more heavily. This means that records that have more lending libraries attached to them will appear higher in the search results, hopefully making them more attractive to click on and improving the findability of available copies. * This also has the benefit of decreasing the visibility of electronic resources with only one holding. * Known title searching has improved. * There is now better matching on one word titles * If no copies associated with a given record are available for loan that is now noted on the results page with a red message: "No copies currently available" * A number of the facets have been collapsed and can opened or closed with a plus/minus sign * A background color (green instead of gray) was added to the Facets section * The Request an Available Copy screen has been improved. 1. Only Available or Status unknown (Follett systems) items are shown 2. The request button is larger and at both the top and bottom of the screen and 3. The messaging has been simplified and improved. * Icons were made larger and colored * "Get This from MeLCat" and "View Record" are no longer grayed out unless they're selected on the search results page The MeL Minutes are brought to you by Sonya Schryer Norris and Deb Renee Biggs, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan @Library of Michigan MeL Team MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or Sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery.

Anticipated cost ($12.5M) is established and square footage (35,000 sf and a basement!!) as well. Our building committee is in place, discussing space needs, where program space should be located, etc. I know that every library system works differently, but I'd like to talk to a couple of librarians to get a feel for what the building committee's authority and charge are, how board and community members fit into the process, and when the committee's job is done. The books I'm reading just aren't helping with these questions. I'd love to set up some time to talk to people who have completed a major building project or who are in the middle of one.

Many of you have asked for me to share your responses to my inquiry re: non-fiction signage. Thank you so much for those who gave me ideas and sent me pictures! There is some good stuff here! Attached are some of the photos. 1. I just made up a bunch of nonsense signs that made me laugh, printed and laminated. The travel section features an image of the Titanic sinking. Home repair has a picture of Hank Hill. True crime has an image of Charles Manson making a really funny face. We are a small library and I probably can get away with more than bigger libraries can. 2.Mary - We did a library signage project last year, and had great fun with it. Our two areas of focus were directional/area signage, and demystifying the nonfiction collection. We wanted to encourage browsing in the nonfiction section, and we wanted patrons (especially new patrons) to feel at home and oriented right away, with visual aids to help them find their area of interest. For NONFICTION: We are so very pleased with materials we ordered from www.libraryskills.com . We have these: https://www.libraryskills.com/Non-Fiction-Shelf-Signs/Non-Fiction-Shelf-Markers/Non-Fiction-Library-Find-It-Shelf-Markers https://www.libraryskills.com/Non-Fiction-Shelf-Signs/Non-Fiction-Shelf-Markers/Non-Fiction-Shelf-Markers-10-color on either side of this shelf sign holder: https://www.libraryskills.com/Display-Product/Shelf-Markers-No-Signage/Shelf-Marker-clear-sleeve-on-each-side and these displayed on tops of the shelves: https://www.libraryskills.com/Non-Fiction-Products/Poster-Sets/Library-Find-It-Poster-Set These are distributed throughout the stacks to highlight some of our more popular subjects: https://www.libraryskills.com/Non-Fiction-Products/Poster-Sets/Color-Coded-Picture-Set On the ends of the stacks, we have these posters from Demco: http://www.demco.com/products/Upstart-Promotions/Posters-D%C3%A9cor/Library-Skills/Dewey-reg-Word-Cloud-Mini-Poster-Set/_/A-B00226289&ALL0000&es=20170711104627800233 We're considering getting similar shelf signage, with the alphabet, for our fiction section. For DIRECTIONAL/AREA signage: I'm also very happy with our top-of-stacks genre/collection signage, although Demco's selection is somewhat limited. Here's an example: http://www.demco.com/products/Signage/Shelf-Signs/Subject-Classification-Signs/Gaylord-reg-Tabletop-Classification-Signs-Mystery/_/A-B00275645&ALL0000&es=20170711115919582872 As I say, it's a limited selection. I designed artwork for the other areas we wanted to identify, and we made the signs out of pasteboard, matching the look of these from Demco. It sucked up a bunch of time, but the results are worth it in my opinion. If you want the artwork, let me know and I'll send you the files. Secondarily, we identified some areas of the library by hanging up these letters from Hobby Lobby on the high sections of the walls: http://www.hobbylobby.com/Home-Decor-Frames/Clearance---Home-Decor/Rustic-Letter-Metal-Wall-Decor---A/p/42323 I've attached a couple of photos for you and will forward a few more in a second email. 3. I just noticed your question about subject signs. I do this for the youth section of the library. Since I was trying something new and didn't want to invest much I found a Word template to use. I change the template, print, laminate and attach with double sided tape. They are the width of our shelves. They get moved around frequently and because it's kids using them they get replaced often. If you're looking for something simple like this I can send you a copy of the template. 4. Hi Mary, A few years ago, we downsized our nonfiction collection to move it to a smaller area. We had to come up with categories that would fit the space - we had nine columns of shelves. Here's what we came up with: *Life Stories: some biographies and memoirs, true stories from ordinary people. Our most popular section, we had to give this one two columns! *Through the Years: history and some biographies *Food and cooking: cookbooks, but also things like wine-making, books about cheese, etc. *You and your family: self-help, parenting, job hunting, health, etc. *House and garden: floor plans, greenhouse info, gardening *Hobbies and Leisure *True Crime *Best of the Rest: for everything that didn't fit another heading Things don't necessarily flow with the dewey numbers, so we have color-coded dots inside each book to correspond with the section. For example, You and Your Family might contain books from the religion section (200's) medical (600's), and others. Each category stays in dewey decimal order. Recently we have done the same sort of thing with juvenile fiction. We now have Humor, True Life, Mystery, Animals, Scary Stories, Super Stories (ninjas, super heroes, time travel) Manga, Fairy Tales & Magic, Fantastic Worlds, and Mythology (for the Percy Jackson type books). We made the signs ourselves. And by ourselves, I mean the director's husband. They are made from laminate sheets (as in countertops). Stick on vinyl lettering was ordered locally, contact Perri at p.saunders at woodlands.mi lib.us if you want to know more about that.

For those who were unaware, five librarians were suddenly terminated just two days after turning in union intention papers on March 3rd. They were told their positions were eliminated to increase "efficiencies" despite the fact that these librarians were budgeted for in a dedicated 10 year millage that passed by 71% in 2012. As a former librarian from Westland myself, I personally made all of the campaign literature at the time, and our message was definitely about bringing back hours, programming, and staffing after the economic downturn--not removing professional staff. Westland also has a $2.5 million budget surplus, so framing these terminations in terms of "fiscal responsibility" never made sense, especially when you consider that their new "restructuring plan" meant that they now had significantly less librarians per capita and per operating budget compared to the majority of other Class VI libraries in Michigan. Anyways, several other librarians, along with many Westland community members, organized and we relentlessly kept up the pressure on the city to do something about the library's administration. Our efforts paid off, and on June 12th, it was announced that the rest of the library's board had resigned, quickly followed by the director. Then, the following day, the mayor announced that all five of the librarians were offered their jobs back. Three of them are coming back (one is changing careers and another already got snatched up by another library because she's awesome). Currently the library does not have a board, but the mayor is working with TLN to appoint new board members who will hopefully understand that an important part of library board membership is also advocating for the library's services, patrons, and staff, not just budgetary oversight. As it is, there are currently no professional mechanisms to support librarians, or libraries in these kinds of situations. Believe me, I sought them out. We had to experiment with many different methods to finally figure out what worked before we were able to finally make it clear enough that the people of Westland would not accept mass librarian removal at their well-funded library. If anything like this ever happens at your library, I will be happy to help you organize the public resistance necessary to prevent or undo threats like this to your library in the future. Also, let me know if you are interested in a discussion about creating a somewhat more formal organization in preparation for the next time something like this happens, so we can respond faster and more efficiently.

I know budgets are often tight but new mice and keyboards are cheap and I can order replacements from CDWG and often have them the next day. The ?extras? are usually only pressed into service for a short-term need and since they?ve been through a normal cycle of wear and tear, no one really wants to be stuck with them long-term. Although you wouldn?t know it from the current state of my office and server room, I?ve been purging most of the extra hardware sitting around because it?s rarely, if ever, needed. I think a lot of techies have a ?just in case? mentality about equipment but if you actually tracked what you used, most would find that they don?t need most of what they keep.

Funding for IMLS has passed another hurdle in the House. r. _______________________________________________________________ Randy Riley State Librarian Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo Street P.O. Box 30007 Lansing, MI 4909-7507 (517) 373-5860 rileyr1 at michigan.gov _______________________________________________________________________________ Good morning. I'm pleased to confirm that, after a marathon "markup" session lasting well into yesterday evening, the House Appropriations Committee has approved direct library funding language in the Labor-HHS spending bill identical to that included in last week's Subcommittee bill which makes no cuts in IMLS, LSTA or IAL funding relative to last year's levels. While errors in the details of the official Committee Report will need to be corrected (see excerpt in Word doc attached), we have been assured that the Subcommittee and Committee both voted to provide IMLS with $231 million, LSTA with $183.6 million and IAL with $27 million in FY 2018. That's reflected shown in our own Excel tracking chart, also attached. As discussed in the blog just posted to District Dispatch, the House now appears unlikely to act on this funding bill (and all but a few others related to security/defense) before beginning its month-long August recess. The Senate, which will defer its recess by two weeks, could begin work on a Labor-HHS bill (that's unclear) but is virtually certain not to vote on it at any level until the fall. Once the bill adopted last night reaches the House floor this fall, amendments to the bill related to library funding are extremely unlikely. We will push hard in the Senate, however, for the full $186.6 million requested for LSTA in this year's House and Senate Dear Appropriator letters. We also will work closely in coalition with the many groups attempting to restore cuts made in programs in which libraries are among many other eligible recipients, such as the Department of Education's Striving Readers to assist children from birth through Grade 12. Given the procedural status and timing described above, the blog also underscores the importance of ongoing library funding advocacy over the summer while members of Congress are back in their home states and Districts.

If you have never seen this program, [ http://lmww2.com/ | Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words ] , I encourage you to attend our upcoming program. Better yet you could have library come to your library; which he is more than happy to do. Larry has been putting on this program for JDL for the past 11 years. In Their Own Words has drawn between 80 and 150 attendees per event. An estimated 4,600 people have come to hear the reflections and experiences of WWII veterans that Larry has interviewed. On Saturday, August 5th and Saturday September 9th , Larry will be sharing his interview with Bill Ingram, who fought in the Pacific in 1942 and was witness to the sinking of the Houston in March of that year. The second part continues with his story as a prisoner of war for 3 ? years. As our former director stated ?We deeply appreciate the dedication shown by Mr. Larry Martin for bringing these stories alive and are honored to be a partner in his efforts. Larry brings a wealth of knowledge to the program and has recorded scores of interviews with veterans over the past ten years. He passionately reminds his audiences that the freedoms they now take for granted were earned through the hard sacrifices of many thousands of veterans who fought in World War II?.

The same materials, programs and services are available to anyone who walks through the library?s doors, no matter the size (or existence) of their wallet. Yet librarians? commitment to equity requires greater action, particularly during a sustained period of rising income inequality as we are experiencing in the United States. Across the country, in libraries of all types, librarians are taking that extra step. Read more about how libraries are confronting income inequality.

We would buy a cord for apple devices, android devices. We are trying to figure out a way that the cords can't be unplugged from the charging strip/device. We are also hoping that we wouldn't have to spend a lot of money on this and it has to be able to be moved to a new building. If you have one at your library: 1. Did you create something or did you buy something? If so, what? 2. Is it being used at your library? Or do patrons still prefer to plug their device into random outlets?

How our service works is only residents of Roseville are able to register and use the service for free, but their card will be changed over to a materials by mail patron code. What this means is that they will only be able to receive and return materials through the mail - their card will be invalid at the library. There are no late fees (though standard costs for lost materials apply), they can only check out materials available at the Roseville Public Library, and my email becomes the primary mode of contact so that I receive the notifications when holds are in, items are overdue, etc. (This is why the card becomes invalid at the library; if everyone could get away with no fines and having me be responsible for getting items back, everyone would sign up.) We will send all library materials except new DVDs and Lucky Day items because those have a shorter check-out period. We do have them fill out a registration form with their name, address, phone number, time to call, and some general questions about what types of materials they like, do they need large print, what kinds of books do they prefer, favorite authors, favorite genres, and how many items they want per mailing. When I send out a mailing, I include a couple bookmarks, and a sheet with the due date, person's name, library card number, the books they checked out, and a spot for them to rate them. I always include a little note so that the service feels more personal. Some of the patrons will request materials but others will let me choose their books for them, and the rating helps me to know if something was a hit or an epic fail. I keep an excel sheet for each patron with everything I've sent and what they rated it. This helps me to not send duplicates. I hope that answers your questions about our homebound delivery service. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I am the Assistant Director at the Boyne District Library. We are a class 3 library in northern Michigan. We are looking into the possibility of purchasing a bookmobile. I am hoping to gather some feedback from those of you that have experience with bookmobiles. For example, how long have you had one, what kind of traffic do you see, what are the yearly maintenance costs, how do you "stock" your bookmobile-mostly print or some technology, are your insurance premiums high? And any other concerns or reasons you love them. Thanks in advance for your help with this. Please send responses to kroondykm at boynelibrary.org. I will compile a list of responses and share with anyone who is interested. Thanks!

More Than #MotivationMonday: Motivating Your Team Any Day of the Week Thursday, August 17, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/motivating-your-team.html Employees motivated to deliver top notch service are key to a library?s success. But many in library organizations don?t know how to effectively instigate employee motivation. As a critical management and leadership skill, it?s important to know what motivation is and isn't, what works and what doesn?t. In this session, we?ll explore factors that influence motivation at work and review strategies for supervisors to keep their teams motivated and productive. No matter the size of your library or your role, you will be inspired to find your own motivation and be able to catalyze others! Presented by: Rachel G.

IFLA believes that the challenges facing the library field from ever-increasing globalization can only be met and overcome by an inclusive, global response from a united library field. By joining us for this webinar, you can participate in this global discussion to identify future challenges and opportunities facing the library field and help to prioritize actions that a united and connected library field can take. The Association for Rural and Small Libraries, in collaboration with WebJunction, invites rural and small libraries to join this highly interactive webinar discussion to voice your opinions and contribute to shaping a unique and comprehensive IFLA Global Vision. In preparation, you may want to reflect on your work in the library field: Why do you think your work is important? How do you see your work in the future? You may also refer to IFLA?s Trend Report as well as other relevant publications about libraries and the trends and developments affecting them. Together we build literate, informed and participative societies. Together we create the future. Join us!

If your route is US-23 south to I-475 east to I-75 south to the Ohio Turnpike, there is construction in Toledo on both I-475 and I-75. That isn't an issue, just follow the signs. However, if your route is I-75 south to I-280 south to the Ohio Turnpike, HEADS UP. When you cross the state line into Ohio on I-75, get in and STAY IN the middle lane. There are three lanes, but not for long. The far right lane is closed about one mile into Ohio. Don't get caught there, as the huge number of trucks can make it difficult to get back to the middle lane. If you've run this route before, you will recall that the exit for southbound I-280 from southbound I-75 in Toledo has always been the LEFT lane. That is not currently the case. The left lane now continues to I-75. The right lane is closed. This means the MIDDLE lane is the place to be, to exit to I-280. And to add to the confusion, even if you are in correct, middle lane to exit to I-280, you still have to veer right to exit I-75 to I-280. The signage that explains all of this is poor, and in my mind anyway, only serves to make a confusing situation even more so. One electronic sign on the right shoulder flashes "Do not follow GPS." You will recall that when Michael and Dwight from Dunder Mifflin followed GPS, they drove into a pond. While you won't drive into a pond if you follow your GPS, you will end up continuing south on I-75 through Toledo to the Ohio Turnpike. No big deal, I guess, but doing so will take you about 5-10 miles out of your way to the west, when you really want to be headed east, towards Cleveland. Don't be Michael and Dwight!

Impact priorities include young learners preparing to be successful, growing cultural communities actively accessing and using information, maximizing partnerships, and identifying and developing collections of information and thinking for different groups using the foundation of its successful Local History model. The Grand Rapids Public Library serves 193,000 residents with eight locations and a $9.4 million annual budget. In 2016, the Library staff (98FTE) hosted 723,751 visits and circulated 1,598,076 items. The Grand Rapids Public Library Foundation provided significant support for additional library programming including Music in the Stacks, One Book One Read for Kids (presented through the award winning DigiBridge partnership with the Grand Rapids Public Schools), D?a de los Muertos, and Taste of Soul Sunday, an African American Heritage program. Grand Rapids, the second largest city in Michigan and ranked as #19 in Best Places to Live in the U.S., shares big-city excitement without big-city hassle and Midwest friendliness with small-town warmth. The City, with its low cost of living, is a great place to live, work, and play with its emphasis on the arts, sustainability, and neighborhood living. It is a city of active, vibrant neighborhoods-the Heritage Hill neighborhood is one of the largest urban historic districts in the country representing more than sixty architectural styles including Frank Lloyd Wright's Meyer May House. Grand Rapids is a desirable, affordable location for families- offering a variety of housing options from a downtown lifestyle to suburban living. In 2012, the Grand Rapids Public School System embarked on transforming education and is seeing significant success resulting in increased graduation rates and enrollment. Also, long known as a historic furniture-manufacturing center, Grand Rapids is now home to health care, technology, and automotive industries. In addition to economic development initiatives, the City also has a significant focus on the arts-home of the first piece of public art in the United States funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2009, Grand Rapids hosted the first ArtPrize-the world's largest art competition determined by public voting. Grand Rapids is also known as "Beer City USA" highlighting its prominent breweries.

This Month's Wisdom... "You might ask, how is a child learning to read while using a wordless book? Think about the skills children need to acquire when learning to read. One very important one is "book directionality." That is learning that in our English reading country, children need to learn to read from top to bottom and from left to right. While a child looks at the illustrations in a wordless book, they are turning pages from right to left, but their eyes are going to follow or "read" the illustrations from left to right." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Wordless Picture Books and Their Value for Young Children [baby and dad]Though many parents reject checking out wordless books (See "Reflections" below), there is incredible value in using wordless books with young children in relation to early literacy practices. Considering the five practices, "Talk, Sing, Read, Write and Play," wordless books are particularly beneficial for the "Talking" and "Reading" practices. Let's look at the less obvious one first --- "Reading". You might ask, how is a child learning to read while using a wordless book? Think about the skills children need to acquire when learning to read. One very important one is "book directionality." That is learning that in our English reading country, children need to learn to read from top to bottom and from left to right. While a child looks at the illustrations in a wordless book, they are turning pages from right to left, but their eyes are going to follow or "read" the illustrations from left to right. So, they are acquiring skills of book directionality, and are "reading" the illustrations. "Talking" in relation to wordless books is much more obvious. When telling the story, young children are developing visual literacy skills by interpreting the images and creating a story structure. By using picture clues, they can comprehend what they are seeing. Wordless books help children develop characterization and add narration. Sequencing is important when learning to read, and wordless books can help with that concept. They have become a storyteller, using their imagination and creativity when developing their story. Also with retellings, the story can be changed or enhanced, which also allows for great creativity. Finally, by choosing wordless books by different illustrators, children are learning about different art styles, which might even serve as an inspiration for children to create their own art. What are some activities parents can do after sharing wordless picture books with their young children? They can dictate the text for the parent to write, creating their own personal telling for that book. Or, parents can record the child telling the story in his/her own words. If grandparents or adult friends are willing, children can share their tellings with others. And, by using wordless books and finding out how much fun they are to share, parents and children might want to create their own original wordless books. Here are some of my favorite wordless books for very young children: Becker, Aaron, Journey. Candlewick, 2013. Carle, Eric. Do You Want to Be My Friend? HarperCollins, 1971. Cole, Henry.

This is a great way for a parent to have a conversation with their child about a book. It is called a "picture walk" because the parent and child "walk" through the pictures in the book without reading the words. Thus, books that are wordless lend themselves well to "Going on a Picture Walk." Here are tips for parents when conducting a picture walk with their child with a wordless book: * Hold the book so the child can see the cover. Read the title and author of the book aloud. * Describe the illustration on the cover and ask your child what he/she thinks the story is about. * Tell your child that this book just has pictures, and that you are going to look at the pictures and try to guess what's happening in the story. * Open to the first page of the story and ask the child to describe what is happening on the page, just as you did when you described the cover illustration. Ask the child about the characters and ask him/her to predict what might happen to them. Encourage her/him to speak in sentences and to give as many details as possible, referring to the characters, the setting (place), and the story events. * Continue in this manner, until there is only one page left in the book. * Have the child predict how the book will end. Advantages of a Picture Walk * Teaches a child to take turns in order to have a conversation. * Helps children become familiar with how books work and are organized. * Gives parents a chance to introduce new words and what they mean. * Provides opportunities to rephrase what the child says so he or she can learn more language. * Extends conversations to help children learn more about something. ________________________________ Recommended Websites On Using Wordless Picture Books & Doing a Picture Walk [boy with mom]Here are two sites that highlight the benefits of using wordless books with preschoolers, and two that highlight the benefits of doing a picture book walk. 1. Reading Rockets I have shared articles from Reading Rockets previously as they are a great site on topics related to early literacy and reading. This article is told from a parent's perspective and describes steps the parent can take to share a wordless book with his/her child. One of my favorite tips is "Recognize that there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to read a wordless book." 2.Playful Learning The author of this article states that she feels wordless books are even more difficult to read than other picture books. She lists positives to sharing wordless books and also a list of her favorite wordless books. 3. Reading To Kids Tips for conducting a picture walk are given with the approach of asking 5 "w's" and 1 "h." "What is going on here?" "Who is this?" "Why does the character look so excited?" "When is this story taking place?" "Where did the character just come from?" "How do you think the story is going to end?" 4. Teach Preschool This offers a step-by-step guide on how to do a picture walk with preschoolers and includes photos of a child actually doing a picture walk. This would make a nice handout if you need one on picture walks. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Goats]The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Jerry Pinkney. Little Brown, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-316-34157-8. $17.99. Caldecott Medalist Jerry Pinkney never misses with his lushly illustrated retellings of well-known folk tales. This particular tale many families do not share, for they feel it is too violent. Pinkney removes some of the violence at the end without sanitizing the story. In fact, if you study the end papers at the beginning of the book, and compare them to the end papers at the back of the book, you will see that the troll actually gains some empathy and changes riverbanks with the goats so that they can inhabit the grassy hillsides. Also, a large fish almost gives the troll his comeuppance, but decides the troll was too sour and green to make a tasty meal. Otherwise, it is the original tale through and through with lots of room for child participation with the standard "Trip, traps," and the repeated phrase "I'm gonna gobble you up!" Some librarians will not like the one fold-out page but hey--- he is the biggest billy goat so Pinkney needed room to illustrate him! [Dogs] Found Dogs. Erica Sirotich. Dial, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-399-18641-7. $16.99. Here is a counting book with a message, but a good one, on how great it is to adopt dogs from a pound. One thing I l always look for in counting books is - how easily can you count the objects? Nothing frustrates me more than a counting book for young children where it is difficult to find the objects or to count them. That is just plain confusing to a child learning to count. What raises this book a step above other counting books is that it is a "count up to" and "countdown to" book (to the number 10) and it is done in rhyme (great for phonological awareness). The illustrations are bright and colorful and very child friendly. And how can you not feel good after every dog has found its own family? If only it would be that way in the real world. I Saw Anaconda. Jane Clarke & Emma Dodd. Nosy Crow, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-9336-7. $14.99. Here is a book you will definitely want for storytime, but alas, it will not circulate well in a library collection. So, order a copy and keep for your storytelling shelf! The cumulative rhyme follows the pattern of "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" with its rhyme being "I saw Anaconda swallow a tick... It made her tummy hop and kick! Will she be sick?" To see each unfortunate creature who is swallowed, you must lift a flap OR flaps, or open a two-page foldout section. In addition, there are two pop-up pages, with the last being very dramatic! Rhyming words and phonological awareness opportunities are in abundance, and the text can even be sung to the familiar tune. The Amazon rain forest adds to the setting and provides some unique characters --- a gator, stork, piranha, frog, skink, and of course, that tick. This will be one that after sharing in story time, kids will say, "Read it again!" [Anaconda] ________________________________ Reflections... [storytime]I remember one library I worked at where the children's services desk was right next to the picture book section. I cannot tell you how many times I saw parents, who were choosing books along with their preschool children say, "Put that book back. It doesn't have any words in it," when their child picked out a wordless book. Never did I hear a parent say "Oh - a wordless book - great!" I guess parents have no idea all the ways they can use a wordless book with their preschooler, nor the value of that experience. So, I guess that is our role. How can we help parents realize how they can share wordless books, and in what way (that is not didactic) can we explain the importance of this experience? Can we do this within a story time program? Have you ever shared a wordless book in storytime, and how do you do that, since being able to see the illustrations close up is rather crucial? Definitely some questions to ponder! ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.
