The adhesive will ooze out from the heat, into the open areas, and ruin the transfer drum or roller. I once had a colleague who thought saving nickels was a good thing to do. In one day he ruined two $170 toner cartridges. The issue with Dymo printers is they are thermal printers so the labels darken with exposure to fluorescent lighting, sunlight, or time. What you want are thermal transfer printers, using resin ribbons and polyester label stock. If any library using Sierra has a full working solution to the spine label issue using Zebra printers, I too, would like to hear from them. Don Bosman Information Technologist MSU Libraries 366 W.

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!

The conference is sponsored by Meijer Inc. and is hosted by the Iron County Historical Society & Museum and West Iron County Middle and High School. In addition, the annual Upper Peninsula History Awards are presented at this conference: the Charles Follo Award for individuals and the Superior Award for historical organizations based in the Upper Peninsula. "This year, the conference offers expanded content on Friday," said Historical Society of Michigan Executive Director Larry Wagenaar, "which gives attendees the opportunity to immerse themselves in an array of historical topics, tours, workshops and entertainment." The three-day conference also includes three keynotes: "In the Trenches: Soldiers' Stories of WWI," "Dollar-a-Day Boys: The Civilian Conservation Corps in Michigan," and "Rum Rebellion: Prohibition Hits the U.P."; 12 breakout sessions and four workshops; five tours; a wild rice camp; a picnic; and a banquet, where the U.P. History Awards will be presented; exhibitor tables; and networking opportunities. Regular registration for the Upper Peninsula History Conference closes June 9. Late registration closes June 19. After that date, registrations will be available only at the door, but meal tickets will not be available.

MAZZA exhibit coming to the Saline Dist. Library Message-ID: Passing this info along, please forgive any cross-posting! So excited! A MAZZA Museum exhibit is coming to the Saline District Library, Saline, Michigan. The MAZZA Museum houses "the world?s first and most diverse collection of original artwork by children?s book illustrators. Through these select pieces you will encounter the creative processes behind picture book art ? cover work, color separations, editorial notes on preliminaries, character development sketches, preparatory storyboards, and much more." June 3rd through Aug. 26th. Make it a destination this summer! I'm going! And if you love children's books you really should take a trip to the University of Findlay in Ohio where the museum is. It is truly one of the gems of the Great Lakes region. More info at: http://www.salinelibrary.org/event/summer-art-show/ . Please pass this word along to writing groups, your children's librarians, teachers, other staff and patrons who may be interested. It's a great opportunity for all.

Library Passing this info along, please forgive any cross-posting! So excited! A MAZZA Museum exhibit is coming to the Saline District Library, Saline, Michigan. The MAZZA Museum houses "the world?s first and most diverse collection of original artwork by children?s book illustrators. Through these select pieces you will encounter the creative processes behind picture book art ? cover work, color separations, editorial notes on preliminaries, character development sketches, preparatory storyboards, and much more." June 3rd through Aug. 26th. Make it a destination this summer! I'm going! And if you love children's books you really should take a trip to the University of Findlay in Ohio where the museum is. It is truly one of the gems of the Great Lakes region. More info at: [ http://www.salinelibrary.org/event/summer-art-show/ | http://www.salinelibrary.org/event/summer-art-show/ ] .

Message-ID: Hello Everyone! You may have heard that the Michigan Humanities Council has chosen X: A Novel by Ilyasah Shabazz and Kekla Magoon as the 2017-2018 Great Michigan Read. This book, co-authored by Malcolm X's daughter, brings this controversial Michigan historical figure's early life into focus. It is appropriate for young adult readers but provides high interest material for adults. It includes humanizing stories about Malcolm X's relationship with his family of origin as he grew up in and around Lansing, Michigan and later left the state. Presented in novel format, it is a revealing look at the life of this young man coming of age amidst the racism of the 1930s and 1940s before he developed as one of the pre-eminent African-American leaders of the 20th century. Programming around the book is strongly encouraged and this is where MeL comes in and libraries across the state can shine. A look in MeLCat reveals that almost 100 Michigan libraries carry the movie Malcolm X, directed by Spike Lee. If you are able, incorporate the movie into programming or encourage community members who will be attending a book discussion to watch the movie and look for similarities and differences in the telling of Malcolm X's life story. The film is a faithful and respectful adaptation of Alex Haley's The Autobiography of Malcolm X. MeLCat contains biographies, speeches, and even graphic novels on Malcolm X. Encourage cross-reading for greater understanding. But wait! There's more! What do the databases have to share with us? Historical, academic and news stories on Malcolm X's eventful life: Black nationalism, Pan-Africanism, the Nation of Islam, his conversion to Sunni Islam, how making the Hajj pilgrimage changed him, his fraught relationship with Muhammad Ali, hosting Fidel Castro in Harlem, his complicated relationship with Martin Luther King, his relationship with his family and his untimely death at the hands of assassins. In particular, do a search in Academic OneFile and BritannicaSchool for articles, reviews, images, videos and more or MeL's eBook K-8 Collection for eBooks and MeL's GVRL Collection for reference eBooks on Malcom X. If you haven't participated in the Great Michigan Read before, you might like to know that partner libraries are eligible for free supplemental materials such as reader's guides, teacher's guides, posters, bookmarks and up to 30 free copies of the book. Even if you choose not to become a partner this year, it's likely that community members who do participate will be turning to you for information about Malcolm X. Help them by turning to MeL! 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. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Warm regards, Deb and Sonya D. R. Biggs and Sonya Norris Library of Michigan/Michigan Department of Education 702 W.

I received a phone call from a teacher at Highland Pines School in Caro in regards to automating their school library. Highland Pines provides programs for the early childhood special education, moderately cognitive impaired, severely cognitive impaired and severely multiple impaired students. One of the main goals of the school is to teach life and job skills enabling students to work in the kitchen, day care, and library for example. Currently, when a student wants to check out a book from the school library, another student library clerk checks the item out by writing down the student's name, school id#, and title. The teacher mentioned that depending upon the library clerks ability, things may not always be accurate or very legible. This teacher is in search of a circulation software package that would be easy enough and pretty basic for the student clerks to use and for the school to implement. She didn't mention cost. Does anyone have suggestions? Perhaps a open source software? She realizes they will have to barcode their collection, but they are hoping not only to digitize the collection, but provide more of a technology skill set for their students. If anyone has suggestions or ideas or know of other schools that use a specific system, please feel free to email me off list. As always, thank you for your input!

At the very least, I count a big strike against the applicant. I normally do telephone interviews as the first step and give an otherwise very qualified applicant a chance to explain why they submitted paper. I would need, however, to see evidence of computer skills on the resume for me to even speak with them.

Connie, you are so right about this person - he/she does not read instructions well which also may lead to they may want to do what they think is right regardless of instructions. Certainly if a person does not respond to your posting in the way you requested (someone they do not know), the question could be asked how will they respond to you if they know you better. Your reaction is so right on to the fat envelope and the person who sent it. One of the things I say to people is the person with the job available does not want to know everything you have ever did in great detail. Keep your resume and responses down to the basic information requested. No one is interested in the life history of our individual working lives to be hired for a job. I also let them know a person with the job does not have time for all that information as well. It is too bad that people do not ask for help when out job hunting, maybe after several years of not being in the job hunting marketplace.

Message-ID: <000001d2de20$44fe6c50$cefb44f0$@stcharlesdistrictlibrary.org> Pok?mon Go Library Party Ideas ?We did a PokeWalk around our branch last summer. We gathered at the library then went for 45 min or so walk around the area hunting for Pok?mon. We returned to the library for snacks and a few Pok?mon themed prizes. It was really low-key, but we had a good turn out and everyone seemed to have a good time.? - Jenn McCarty ? Reference Librarian ? Ellis Library https://ontarianlibrarian.com/2016/07/14/pokemon-scavenger-hunt-in-the-libra ry/ ?Last summer I and a coworker did 2 Pok?mon Go parties, one in June and one in October. The one in June worked out really nicely; we had about 100 people attend. We had the event go for about 4 hours in a meeting room that was partitioned, one side of the room you could watch the very 1st Pok?mon movie ever made (It?s called Pok?mon: the Movie) and on the other we had crafts and coloring (I will attached one of the paper crafts for you). There were several different choices for paper crafts- one was having them create a badge for their team (Instinct, Mystic, or Valor) using cardstock and pin backings from Michaels. The other craft was to create 3D Pok?mon. I also had lures going up in the game near the library during the event so we could gain more people. I created a map that showed all the Pok?stops in the library and the park behind the library as well. Finally we had a scavenger hunt going on in the Youth Room. I created a sheet (see attached) with Pok?mon Shadows on it. To gain the prize they had to locate each Pok?mon in the youth room that corresponded to each shadow and write down the Pok?mon?s name that would be found underneath the Pok?mon picture. We managed to get many people from all age group to participate in the June one. As for the October one, due to rain and school, we did not get nearly as many people. My suggestions after doing both programs would be to make sure there are activities that people who do not own a device (iPod, iPhone, tablet, etc.) can participate, limit it to about 2 hours max (we went for 3 hours the first time and after 1.5 hours we had less people showing up). Let me know if you have any questions. (Some of these activities may work for you some might not). Best of luck with your program!? - Shannon O'Leary ? Novi Public Libraries ?In the children's room we did not have a Pok?mon go party, although it does sound like a good idea since we have two pokestops close by. We did however has this Pok?mon search and find in the library. They would find images of Pok?mon scattered around in the library with a number on it and would write down the name of that Pok?mon on a special slip of paper. If they got it all correct they could have 2-3 small Pok?mon figurines. They are small cheap little things you can get on eBay or amazon for about $10-$20 or so and have about several hundred. And the kids loved them. I don't know if it helps but hopefully it might just give a fun activity for them for the party.? - Kaisha Simpson ? Albion Library ?When Pok?mon Go came out last summer we took advantage of the craze by hiding stuffed Pok?mon in our youth department. We told parents that it was the low tech version of Pok?mon Go. Kids actually really liked it, even the older kids (12 years and under). One boy even brought us another Pok?mon so that we could hide more. Each week we changed their location. There were some kids who came in each week and the first thing they had to do was find the Pok?mon. We have not tried any programs for the older kids.? - Brenda Dunseth ? Highland Township Public Library ?We did a Tween/Teen night last year. We made Pok?mon balls using this tutorial. Had Pok?mon cookies (similar to these copied from Pinterest), and I had a local map around the library that we went on a hunt. One of our kids put out a lure too. ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF-MDJ3TCVk - Shanni Ker ? Ionia Community Library ?I helped plan an event, but it was carried out by colleagues at two other branches. The basic idea was to create a path through the surrounding area within walkable distance that has landmarks designated as pokestops. In one location there was a garden behind a church that was beautifully landscaped that had pokestops at three of the Stations of the Cross statues. There was also the historic train depot that is currently used as an administrative office. Basically, we had them lead the participants through the main areas of town where there was a lot of Pok?mon spawns but also beautiful/historic/scenic places to which they might not normally have paid attention. Also the library bought lures which they places at the pokestop of the two libraries in question and the stops closest to each library for when the walk concluded. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. I am still an avid Pok?mon Go'er.? - Alger C. Newberry ? Grand Blanc-McFarlen ?I ended up doing a Pok?mon Go Party last September, and it was pretty successful. I ended up just creating crafts and games that were Pok?mon-themed, but not specifically Pok?mon Go. I did tie them into the app, though. An example was that I made a Pok?mon Toss game, where I decorated shoeboxes to look like Pok?mon, and painted Ping-Pong balls to look like Pok?balls. They then threw the Ping-Pong Pok?balls, trying to get them into the Pok?mon shoeboxes. It was to "practice their Pok?mon catching skills" that they use in the app. Otherwise, I went a little old-school, and used a button maker to create "Gym Badges". I don't believe these are in the app, but they are definitely prominent in the Pok?mon world. Anyone who was able to battle a gym in the Pok?mon Go app and prove to me that they were in the gym's rankings would earn a gym badge. This worked well, considering my library was a gym. I really wanted my party to appeal to everyone - even those that didn't have phones or the app. So my program focused more on the Pok?mon aspect, with the Go app thrown in occasionally - like with the Gym Badges. This allowed everyone who came by to participate. Best of luck to you, and I hope this helped!? - Storm Boyer ? Capital Area District Library ? Haslett Branch ?Hi! I'm the teen librarian at the Shelby Township Library. I host seasonal Pok?mon programs where the kids and teens can play any version of the game, hang out, and play with one another. It lasts for an hour (although it could be longer), averages about 20-30 kids and some parents and the events averages around $65 for prizes and refreshments. We give away door prizes of trading card packs, which are popular for our community; a lot of younger kids have the card games, and teens tend to have cards and/or handheld games. Last summer we hosted a Pok?mon GO park crawl with the parks and rec department, offered pizza, went to three parks on a bus, and went to the nature center for a shadow scavenger hunt. At my most recent event, I made a small sign with shadows of 6 different Pok?mon, and the kids had to correctly guess 5 to get a button that we made with our button maker, or have their team controlling the library's Pok?mon GO gym, show they had collected all the gym badges in their handheld game, or have a starter Pok?mon on one of their cards. If you have enough staff, you could incorporate a walk in the neighborhood and have the kids playing the card game and handheld games hang behind. You can also have them vote for their favorite team with jars and marbles or another token type thing. The kids are happy enough to get a chance to hang out and play at my events, although another library nearby has tournaments with the card games. It depends on the atmosphere you want to have at your event, you can make it as big or casual as you want.? - Jennifer Sunderhaus ?

There?s always the chance there could be a ?positive? behind oddball behavior like ignoring the explicit instructions in a posting! My thoughts: 1. The whole key to success in applying for jobs (or any other kind of competition) is finding a way to make your effort stand out from the others, and he certainly achieved that! Here we all are, talking about his application. It would be a huge gamble on his part, because most supervisors will probably go with the ?I?m throwing it away? response (after all, it makes the job of filtering the apps easier). But maybe the person is a risk-taker, outside-the-box thinker, or questioner of standard practices---all leadership skills. (And if so, he might be testing whether the reaction to his application is going to demonstrate that this is the kind of organization HE?D be comfortable working for.) 2. The person could be ?confused? in a good way??.many geniuses walk into walls because their minds are on bigger things. This might not necessarily be a positive trait in all situations, but if true it would certainly make the person someone worth considering. 3. It?s also just possible that the applicant has a decent reason for not wanting his resume submitted electronically, or is experiencing a problem with his email account, or (I?ve done this!) wanted to submit it in multiple formats just to make sure it arrived. In short I guess I?d say the suggestion is strong that the person is clueless and won?t make it, but I would definitely take a minute to open the fat envelope to see if it contains anything that could suggest a spark. If it doesn?t, the wastebasket is always there. But I might not be able to resist the urge to at least ask the guy why he did things that way, if for no other reason than that the answer would be interesting, whatever it is. In any case I don?t think I?d be annoyed. Insisting that strict adherence to convention is the only reasonable way to manage things will tend to result in manageable (but conventional) results.

Explanation of the issue with a sample message for legislators is included below. MDE is close to making a final decision on how it will implement ESSA?s accountability requirement. There were three options in the plan submitted to the US DOE. [See below for the three options.] In all options, ?*access to a library media specialist*? is a part of the School Quality / Student Success Accountability Indicator for K-8. In options 1 and 2, ?access to a library media specialist? will be included in the overall Grade (option 1) or one of the Grades (option 2) for each K-8 school; thus, receiving more importance than the many items which will be included on the transparency dashboard. In option 3, ?access to a library media specialist? will be just one of many items on the transparency dashboard; and, thus, may be ?lost in the volume of data? with no particular importance or visibility. Thus, the decision on which option MDE implements will either make school library staffing evident to parents and the community (Option 1 or 2) or will be too nonspecific such that districts may ignore the measure (Option 3). MAME recommends that our legislators choose option 1 or 2 which will provide the most visibility for the community on school library staffing. To ensure that school library staffing information is accessible to school communities, MAME needs school library supporters to contact their legislators to ask them to support either option 1 or option 2 in MDE?s ESSA Accountability Plan. If the legislature does not take action by June 30, MDE will default to Option 3. To reach out to your legislators: 1. Find your Michigan Senator & House Representative: http://www.senate.michigan.gov/fysbyaddress.html http://www.house.mi.gov/mhrpublic/ 1. Write and/or call your legislator Sample message: Dear ___________, I am writing / calling to ask you to support Option 1 or Option 2 of the options given for MDE?s Accountability Plan under ESSA. I believe that one of these two options will incentivize school districts to make positive change for the students in our state. These options will also provide more transparency to parents and the community at large. Action must be taken by June 30th or the Accountability Plan will default to Option 3. Thank you, Your Name Address Phone _________________________________________________________________________ For information purposes -- Three Options for MDE?s ESSA Accountability Plan FROM the MDE document: Michigan?s Approach to the Every Student Succeeds Act: Overview of Michigan?s Consolidated State Plan April 3, 2017 http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/Michigan-ESSA- Consolidated-Plan-Overview_558371_7.pdf Option 1. An A-F grading system for all schools that produces a final summative grade. Please note: creating this system was the charge given to the ESSA Accountability Action Team, based on Superintendent Whiston?s direction and the interest of the legislature and governor at that time. Therefore, the bulk of the comment obtained through the four rounds of feedback reacts to this plan. Option 2. An A-F system that provides grades in six core components (proficiency, growth, graduation rate, English learner progress, school quality indicators, and participation in state assessments) but no final summative grade. This system utilizes the same underlying calculations as the A-F summative grade but does not add up to one overall grade. Both Option 1 and Option 2 would be presented along with an additional transparency dashboard, which would include data and information that might be useful to parents or community members. Option 3. A dashboard accountability system. This system is currently envisioned as a combination of the six indicators above, along with the transparency dashboard. However, the Michigan State Board of Education has signaled that they wish to further develop the dashboard. Therefore, the MDE submits to them the dashboard as is, and asks them to make necessary modifications. Any technical details presented in the plan relate to all three systems and the underlying calculations unless otherwise noted. The major difference between the three is the amount of ?summarizing? that is done to create a single measure or measures.

Tuesday, June 6, 2017. Kalamazoo Public Library is pleased to welcome Ryan Wieber as the new library director. Current director, Ann Rohrbaugh will be retiring on June 30, after 45 years of service to the library. Ryan Wieber has served as the Director of Van Buren District Library since 2013. He was responsible for the overall administration of a district library system consisting of a central location, and six branches. During his time as director of Van Buren District Library, Wieber implemented a strategic planning process, addressed budgetary issues, overhauled the IT department and updated network technology. Wieber?s increased efforts in outreach, marketing and communications helped elevate Van Buren District Library?s position as a vital community service. Prior to being director for Van Buren District Library, Wieber served as the director of the Otsego District Library. During his 13 years as director, he championed initiatives that tripled Otsego District Library?s annual patron visits and increased materials circulation by 150%. Wieber led a successful fundraising campaign and bond issue, which resulted in the construction of a new, state-of-the-art library to serve the Otsego community. Wieber also developed new branding for Otsego District Library and revitalized their marketing efforts. Ryan Wieber graduated with his B.A. from Western Michigan University in 1992, and earned his Master of Library and Information Science degree from Wayne State University in 1995. Wieber currently resides in Otsego but plans to relocate to Kalamazoo. His official start date with Kalamazoo Public Library will be Tuesday, August 1. "Kalamazoo Public Library is recognized statewide and nationally as a great public library system, with an incredible staff and a strong mission toward providing outstanding service and access for all its residents. Libraries everywhere look to Kalamazoo as the place that does it right. I?m excited to continue ensuring that the library remains a valuable part of a community that loves its library, and I am honored to serve as the next director at Kalamazoo Public Library." On behalf of Kalamazoo Public Library?s staff, board, trustees and the Kalamazoo community, we welcome Ryan Wieber to Kalamazoo Public Library. Given his extensive experience serving as a library director for both Van Buren District Library and Otsego District Library, we are confident that Ryan Wieber will continue the legacy of KPL, and guide our future success in the community and beyond. #### [cid:07A81255-1535-4BB9-A3F6-7830FB8D4F0B at attlocal.net] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

A couple of libraries that currently have subscriptions to the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps through ProQuest asked me if there were any differences between the ProQuest product and the LC product. I asked ProQuest the below question: " Can you tell me the difference if any, between the Sanborn product that is offered through ProQuest and the LC announcement below." The Senior Product Manager at ProQuest replied with the following: " It?s very early to give a full assessment, but this is what we can say at this time:" 1. The LC product contains only public domain maps. The ProQuest products contains both in-copyright and OOC maps. 2. The LC product contains maps ?from the late 1880s through the early 1960s.? The ProQuest collection covers 1867 to 1970. 3. The LC product is a three-year project to upload the scanned maps. Expected completion date is sometime in 2020. 4. LC probably does not have all of the original maps and updates in their possession, i.e., only what has been collected by LC over the years and submitted to them by other institutions/individuals. 5. The LC version is not geo-referenced. It appears that all the LC maps will be in color, but that hasn?t been confirmed yet. 6. We haven?t had a chance to compare the metadata between the products. There are probably differences. The comparison will be done by mid-July after the ALA Conference. I hope that the above answer will prove beneficial when it comes to your library making a decision regarding the Sanborn Fire Insurance maps product. I will send a follow up after the referenced mid-July date. Thanks.

This program is crucial for the hundreds of thousands of Michigan students who rely on the federal school meals program during the school year. Once school is out, over 1,700 SFSP sites across Michigan help to bridge that gap until the start of school next fall. Last year, 535,000 low-income Michigan children received meals during the school year, but less than 85,000 of those children (17%) ate meals or snacks at approved summer meal sites in their neighborhoods. "Too many families across Michigan are struggling, and we can't have children going hungry in the summer when programs like this are available," said State Superintendent Brian Whiston, in stressing the importance of these crucial summer food programs for children. "Making families aware and informed is vital to keeping kids fed and healthy." MDE provides the SFSP Site Locator Map, which allows families to identify the nearest Meet Up and Eat Up(tm) Summer Food Service Program site, including information about locations, meal types, dates, times, and driving directions. The map can be found at www.michigan.gov/meetupeatup. In partnership with Michigan No Kid Hungry and the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, people anywhere in Michigan can also locate the Meet Up and Eat Up(tm) Summer Food Service Program site nearest them by dialing 2-1-1 from any landline or mobile phone. Call centers across the state access the MDE Site Locator Map to provide callers with the most up-to-date information. Additionally, Michigan No Kid Hungry sponsors a text message resource. Mobile phone users can text "Food" to 877-877 and receive the most up-to-date site location information. Standard text messaging rates apply. The program spans nearly every county in Michigan. Individuals and organizations interested in more information on SFSP or about becoming a site, an activity provider, or a volunteer this summer, can contact MDE's Office of School Support Services, Summer Food Service Program at 608 West Allegan Street, P.O. Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909, by calling 517-373-3347, or on the MDE website at www.michigan.gov/sfsp. The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas (where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for no-cost or reduced price school meals). The program can operate in schools, libraries, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, museums, and faith-based facilities. Meals served are free and no registration is required. The Summer Food Service Program, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. # # # [Meet Up and Eat Up] * Summer+Food+Program.pdf ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo] Questions?

We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. 2. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 3. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." Have a fabulous day in Library Land, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

Thank you, Cathy Begin forwarded message: From: "Lancaster, Catherine (MDE)" > Date: May 30, 2017 at 5:18:55 PM EDT To: "michlib-l at mcls.org" > Subject: Adaptive Programming Survey Do you offer programming for special needs? If so, than the Library of Michigan & the Special Needs Services Rountable (SNSR) would like to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to complete this form by Friday, June 9th: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SNSR17 Many libraries now demonstrate an inclusive awareness of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other different neurological and physical needs in their services. Sensory story times, book discussions utilizing multiple formats, volunteer programs for teens and adults with special needs, and before/after-hours sensory-friendly programs are all wonderful examples of adapted inclusion. We want to know what wonderful program your library is offering to patrons with different needs. Perhaps your library offers an inclusive or targeted story time using a visual schedule and multisensory- engaging tools for those with developmental delays (but also great for English Language Learning (ELL) families!)? Are you reaching out to teens or adults reading at a lower level by offering a book discussion using hi-low titles? Maybe you offer titles available in multiple formats to include those with visual impairments or dyslexia in your book discussions? Turning the lights up and the sound down for a sensory-friendly movie night? Please let us know, so we can share these great ideas across the state. Questions about the survey? Please feel free to contact me at lancasterc5 at michigan.gov or Jen Taggart (SNSR Chair) with the Bloomfield Township Public Library at taggartj at btpl.org.

[header] Collection Weeding: Practical Guidelines for Library Staff, Managers, and Leadership Wednesday, June 14, 2017; 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT [burst]Weeding your collections is as necessary to the health of your library as weeding is to the health of a garden. Successful weeding does more than make physical room for new books. It also helps focus your resources and guide collection development. The evaluation process requires understanding your library?s goals and target audiences, budget constraints, and community needs. In addition, the properly managed weeding project can ensure that books pulled from the collection are treated as potential assets, not just trash. If you engage your stakeholders, including library users, the media, and colleagues in other institutions, a weeding initiative is an opportunity to educate your community about managing libraries and to build support for fundraising for new books and materials. As with most projects, good planning is key. Topics include planning to plan; roles of staff, supervisors, managers, leaders, and your library users; establishing goals and timelines; and creating your custom model. Takeaways: * Create a weeding plan that reflects current strategic goals. * Decide which weeding models you will incorporate into your weeding plan. * Successfully explain the necessity of weeding to staff and library users. [Pat]Presenter: Pat Wagner has been a trainer and consultant for libraries since 1978. She focuses on personnel, management, and leadership issues, including marketing, project management, and tech services productivity. She has written about weeding and actually enjoys weeding other people?s libraries and collections, particularly consumer nonfiction and how-to books. She was the contributing editor for nonfiction for the award-winning book magazine, The Bloomsbury Review, where she evaluated hundreds of books every year and learned that they needed more than a pretty cover. She is known for her practical and good-humored webinars and face-to-face programs. [reg] Registration fee: $49/person.

MeL.org has had a responsive interface since our last redesign in 2014. You may know that concept by the phrase "device agnostic." It means that the website will neatly reconfigure itself for a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, phablet or phone - indeed any device that can display a webpage. We're still working to bring all of the components of MeL.org into full compliance and we would like to announce that one additional important database is now responsive - DemographicsNow. And we'll let you in on a secret! DemographicsNow is fun. Check out the mosaic population comparisons for your city, state or zip code to get a glimpse into the personality of your region. You can find these labeled under Demographics. Run a Summary report type with a report named Mosaic Household Summary Chart Report for your area. Are you awash in "Blue Sky Boomers" or what about singles with "Urban Ambition?" Learn about common lifestyle characteristics such as what people like to do with their free time, how they spend disposable income, and how they invest themselves in their communities. DemographicsNow is also great for people looking to set up organizations or interest groups or just learn more about what makes their neighborhoods tick. DemographicsNow provides researchers and entrepreneurs with comprehensive business and demographic information valuable to assess business viability, create sales leads and marketing mailing lists, complete location analyses and business plans, analyze population trends, find potential sponsors and donors and much more. This versatile database is useful for those who want to start a business as well as those who want to take their established business to the next level. See here for the link to the DemoNow tutorial center. 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.

Because a public library is often determined a "limited public forum" (as seen on the ACLU document, and per the definition in the Perry case (below)), It is probably not advisable to ban all solicitation for signatures. However, it seems that it is permissible for public libraries to establish certain policies regarding public use of the building and grounds by people - including petition volunteers. As always, PLEASE consult your attorney before finalizing a procedure or policy. For example, many libraries have policies regarding the solicitation of signatures. You may want to review some of these policies from other Michigan Libraries and then consult your attorney on which policies would be best for your community and library. A key aspect of such policies is that the library should not appear to favor one topic or point of view over another, and the impetus of creating policies should be to ensure the use of the building for its intended purpose (ie minimization of disruption to the library).

Or the section of law about guaranteeing access to public buildings to collect signatures for petitions. I've only read about no collecting signatures near polling places. thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E.

The resources were great, as well as Michigan Bureau of Elections, 800-292-5973. Also appreciated all the info about library policies. Happily our library policy seems to be sufficient and the patron wasn't looking to cause a problem at the library but wanted to understand his rights better in Michigan. I guess election law in California is different, but he was sure there must be something similar in Michigan law about public building access. thanks, lise On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 2:28 PM, Membiela, Clare (MDE) < MembielaC at michigan.gov> wrote: > Hello Lise: > > In addition to the ACLU document, the links below may provide some helpful > information. > > Because a public library is often determined a "limited public forum" (as > seen on the ACLU document, and per the definition in the Perry case > (below)), It is probably not advisable to ban all solicitation for > signatures.

I believed she lived in the southwestern US, and chose to live in the urban "inner-city" area she was ministering to. She strictly limited the number of possessions - I believe no more than ten books, two dresses, etc. (I can't remember the exact numbers, but it wasn't many per category). She came from a comfortable background, and wrote about her brother's displeasure in her giving away items she received as gifts. At one point, she mentioned he gave her monogrammed or personalized items, in the hopes that she would keep his gifts, but she commented that just made it more of a challenge to give away. She may have been a public speaker - she mentioned flying to a conference, and a child spilled something on her dress. Since it was one of few, that was a bigger deal than it might have been. I want to read this book again, and of course cannot remember its title or who wrote it. I have searched every which way, and I am coming up empty. I am hoping someone has read or heard of this book.

Faust Public Library in Westland decided to do something extra for this year's theme. We are teaming up with UNICEF Kid Power to make this year's Summer Reading theme "Build a Better World" a reality! We came across the UNICEF Kid Power bands while searching for summer reading ideas and we thought they would be a great way to emphasize to kids one way to make the world a better place! We (youth staff) are dividing into three teams to compete in a friendly competition to see which team can reach the largest step goal between the start and end of our Summer Reading Program. For each step taken while wearing the UNICEF Kid Power bands we will help to unlock lifesaving food packets for kids in need around the world! The kids at the library will be able to follow our teams' progress throughout summer. These bands are a great way to encourage kids to be active and learn that even they can help others around the world. The UNICEF Kid Power bands will be given as prizes at the end of the summer so that kids can continue the task of building a better world. We are so excited to be part of UNICEF Kid Power! To learn more about the bands go to: https://unicefkidpower.org/ Here are our team pictures :D [cid:image002.png at 01D2E8FE.117B34B0][cid:image008.png at 01D2E8FE.117B34B0][cid:image009.png at 01D2E8FE.117B34B0] Tamie Bird Youth Librarian Westland Public Library 734-326-6123 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Kristin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: University of Michigan School of Information Date: Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 9:25 AM Subject: UM School of Information offers consulting services (Fall 2017) To: font at umich.edu Dear Kristin, The University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) is now seeking clients for consulting as part of a Fall 2017 master?s degree level course, SI 501: Contextual Inquiry & Consulting Foundations. During this one semester course, UMSI master?s degree students work with clients to identify, analyze, and recommend solutions for client problems related to products, services, and information processes. There is no cost to client organizations. Over the years, SI 501 students have worked with more than 200 partner organizations including corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, libraries, and schools. Ideal client projects fit within one of the following categories: - Improving or repairing an existing information or communication process; - Improving or repairing an existing product or service; - Evaluating service design, such as processes for walk-in customers at service desks. To propose a project for your company or organization, please complete this very brief form as soon as possible, and no later than July 31, 2017. If your project proposal appears to be a good fit, a member of the SI 501 teaching team will contact you to develop and refine your project scope during the summer. Please feel free to email with any questions you may have, and share this email widely with others who might be interested. We have provided additional information below, which may be useful for sharing. Thank you! Kentaro Toyama (faculty), Melissa Chalmers (staff) SI 501: Contextual Inquiry and Consulting Foundations University of Michigan School of Information si501projects at umich.edu = = = = = = = About SI 501, Contextual Inquiry and Consulting Foundations: This master?s degree level course provides professional training and skill-building in user-centered design via the basic principles of an established process known as ?contextual inquiry.? In their capacity as consultants, faculty-coached student teams collect data related to your client project through meetings and interviews with project stakeholders, observations of work practices and information system usage, and examination of artifacts (e.g. physical workspaces, databases, social media accounts, etc.). The student teams then synthesize and analyze this qualitative data, and produce formal reports through which they present their analyses and recommendations for future action. (Student teams will not be expected to implement solutions as a part of this course, though many will be available the following summer for internships.) Clients should meet the following criteria: - Have a product, service, information process, or communication process already in place that needs repair or improvement. - Be able to provide at least five relevant people who would be willing to be interviewed and observed in person for 60-90 minutes by the student team in September-November, 2017. - Are within 50 miles of Ann Arbor (preference is given to local projects). - Can accommodate the timeline below. Timeline for Fall 2017 clients: - Summer 2017: client proposal and refinement of parameters with SI 501 teaching staff - September/October 2017: initial meeting, interviews and observations - November 2017: feedback and follow-up interviews - December 2017: final report and presentation Problems that affect organizational and communication efficiency and productivity are a good match for student teams: - ?We have channels for distributing information to our constituents, but the right information isn?t always shared.? - ?We keep adding staff to our service desk, but the lines haven?t gone down.? - ?We have a database, but we aren?t putting in or taking out the information that we need.? - ?A patron ordered a book, and they got it -- but it took weeks to get it to them.? Examples of past projects: - Reviewing a health clinic's telephone queue and voicemail system, with attention to why call abandonment rates are so high. - Investigating how an online job-matching company could improve retention and engagement of its resume-posting users. - Exploring how a public library's process to acquire and weed materials among its three branches could be integrated and streamlined. - Understanding the bottlenecks of a non-profit organizations complex reporting requirements, and how to relieve them. Client testimonials: - A private company: ?The team did a good job learning about the context of our company and the challenge we were having, which ultimately allowed them to make recommendations that were relevant and helpful for us.? - An academic library: ?The team did a great job! I appreciate the final report immensely, and really appreciated the production of tangible deliverables I can use.? - A university service department: ?They understood our complex challenges, and came up with some good ideas for us to tackle to improve our communications and relationships with our customers.? - A non-profit organization: ?We have some complex systems very specific to our industry that usually take people a while to catch on to but the students really picked things up quickly.?

This Month's Wisdom... "One thing we know about babies' brains is that it is advantageous for babies to have positive sensory experiences for synapse development. Also, around the age of one, babies develop object permanence (peek-a-boo) and flap books are the most ideal thing for children developing object permanence." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Storytime Basics! [Babies]Though everyone is in the midst of their summer reading program, fall storytimes are right around the corner. On July 11 at 2:00 p.m., the Library of Michigan will host a webinar with me on "Storytime Basics." So if you are a "newbie" or just feel like you might like a "shot in the arm," I hope you will attend! Following are just a few tidbits of information that will be covered. Storytimes for Babies The important thing to remember about storytimes for babies is that the program is really more for the caregiver. You are modelling how to share books, rhymes and songs with babies for the sole purpose to encourage caregivers to continue these activities at home. A goal should be to share many nursery rhymes and songs including: finger/hand rhymes; tickle/touch rhymes; toe/foot rhymes; and bounce/lift rhymes. Having this variety should keep baby's interest. Why are these rhymes and songs so important? Here are just a few reasons: * Rhymes can be a baby's first introduction to literature. * Reading rhymes to babies begins the reading habit and introduces babies to the pleasures of reading. * It is important to talk to a baby. Sharing rhymes is one good way of sharing language with babies. * Rhymes provide an opportunity to play with baby - babies can be directly involved. *Rhymes do not need to make sense to babies - they will simply enjoy the sound of the words. * Sharing rhymes can establish a pleasurable bond between the parent and baby.

[girl with blocks]Storytimes for Toddlers OR Two's and Three's The challenging thing with storytimes for two's and three's is the reactions of the children in the group. Some younger children may watch and listen only, some will participate and some may appear to pay little attention or may attempt to wander around the room. This is why the caregivers should participate in all activities - rhymes and songs - and help the child act out the motions or actions. However, it is important to remember that not all two's will have the fine motor skills to do finger plays as three's might so adults will probably need to help with finger rhymes. Children of these ages have short attention spans so it is important to keep the program moving. Two developmentally appropriate books may be enough alternated with rhymes and songs and an opener and a closer. Recommended Website for Toddler Storytime Beginners Jbrary's Toddler Storytime Guide Included are sections on: How to plan the storytime; Favorite Read Alouds; Favorite Songs and Rhymes; Songs To Get the Wiggles Out; How to Incorporate Puppets; and Favorite Felt Stories. Storytimes for Preschoolers It is important that the caregiver is also present for this program - it is an excellent way to model to the caregiver how to share books, language, and songs and encourage them to extend the experiences at home. Programs are almost always thematically arranged. Alternate 3 or 4 stories with one or two activities such as: active rhymes, finger rhymes, creative dramatics, poems, or songs. Use various methods of storytelling to tell those stories with at least one story more visual through the use of a flannel or magnetic board, puppet, tell-and-draw story, etc. Also, have one participation book. Remember to have children do an activity which allows them to stretch or be active midway through the program.

Ingela Arrhenius. Nosy Crow, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-9334-3. $8.99. One thing we know about babies' brains is that it is advantageous for babies to have positive sensory experiences for synapse development. Also, around the age of one, babies develop object permanence (peek-a-boo) and flap books are the most ideal thing for children developing object permanence. However, many libraries resist purchasing flap books because unless the flaps are very sturdy, book circulations are few before the book is damaged. Enter --- a flap that is made of material! That's right --- not paper - but material. Is this a good idea? I don't know. We need to circulate them to find out, but I certainly am intrigued by the concept. Arrhenius is an illustrator, but she also has created patterns for fabrics, wallpaper, toys, and stationery. Thus, her use of material here is not surprising. The books themselves are great for babies - there are bright colors, clear uncluttered illustrations, a safe mirror, and of course that interactive element. So far, there are three books in this new series; Where's the Giraffe?, Where's the Ladybug?, and Where's Mr. Owl? Books for Toddlers Higgly Hen. Axel Scheffler. Nosy Crow, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-9324-4. $9.99. "A Farm Friends Sound Book" series has two titles so far; the one pictured here and Cuddly Cow. The first makes a very loud clucking sound when you press the button, and the second "moos" but there are also birds chirping in the background. Colors are bright and the illustrations are very appealing for twos and threes. Children will love the sounds that emanate from the book while you are reading the simple and repetitive text. Scheffler is the illustrator for the Pip and Posy books and also Gruffalo. Both are great to share in storytime programs. [Hen] [Sleep] Book for Preschoolers Go Sleep In Your Own Bed! Candace Fleming and Lori Nichols.Schwartz & Wade, 2017. ISBN: 978-0375866487. $17.99. As animals at the farm try to go to bed, they each find another animal in their bed. Each hollers "Go sleep in your own bed!" Children can join in on this repetitious refrain, which makes it a great choice for narrative skills. The last animal chased out of dog's bed is cat, who is welcomed to her bed by the little girl who lives in the farmhouse. This is both a great storytime choice and also a book to recommend for bedtime reading. Book for First Readers An Elephant and Piggie Biggie! Mo Willems. Hyperion, 2017. 978-1-48479-967-3. $16.99. This is a collection of favorite Elephant & Piggie books, all in one volume. Included are: Today I Will Fly; Watch Me Throw the Ball!; Can I Play Too?; Let's Go For a Drive!; and I Really Like Slop! Willems has stopped writing new books in this series now, but celebrates the tenth anniversary with this collection. Elephant & Piggie books won two Theodor Seuss Geisel Medals and five Geisel Honors! [Biggie] ________________________________ Reflections... [ECRR Logo]Presently I am chair of the Every Child Ready to Read Oversight Committee which is a joint committee of the Public Library Association and the Association for Library Service to Children. We are presently evaluating the current manual (which most of you have received from the Library of Michigan). Since it was published in 2011, it is time to consider whether it needs revised, updated, changed etc. After visiting many states and talking to librarians and children's coordinators I find most people using ECRR first edition (six skills) or second edition (five practices) most often take those skills or practices and incorporate them into their storytime programs. However, ironically, there is no information in the manual on how to use the research or early literacy information in storytime programs. The manual actually has workshops that are to be done for parents or early childhood educators. How many people are using the workshops? Do they still have value? Should they be revised? Or, should the project work on producing modules that will assist librarians with information NOT already in the manual such as: 1) Reaching Teen Parents 2) Reaching New Parents 3) Providing an informal workshop or information for parents of babies and toddlers (also not in the manual) or 4) How to share early literacy information in storytime programs. I would LOVE to hear your views. SERIOUSLY! Please write me at: sue at kidlitplus.com. ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

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 -- Janelle Martin Head of Fiction Marguerite deAngeli Library Lapeer District Library 921 W.

Today?s summer programming needs to move beyond reading to engage children with hands-on activities, thus keeping their brains active even when school?s out. In ?Summer Matters: Making All Learning Count,? published by ALA Editions, Elizabeth M. McChesney from Chicago Public Library (CPL) and Bryan W. Wunar from Chicago?s Museum of Science and Industry present a guide based on their award-winning, STEAM-inspired approach. They outline practical steps for libraries and cultural institutions to partner in creating a sustainable summer learning program that?s both fun and educational. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2017/06/chicago-public-library-and-museum-science-and-industry-present-steam-inspired United for Libraries to dedicate the Lotos Club a Literary Landmark United for Libraries, in partnership with the Empire State Center for the Book, will designate the Lotos Club in New York City as a Literary Landmark at a reception at the club on Wednesday, June 21 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The Lotos Club, founded March 15, 1870, is one of the oldest literary clubs in the United States. It takes its name from the Tennyson poem ?The Lotos Eaters.? Mark Twain joined Lotos in 1873, calling it ?The Ace of Clubs.?

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.

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.

Message-ID: <456df500ba2b4056b980f575dc20fe79@holly.thegdl.org> Here is a summary of the responses I received to my outdoor library furniture query: 1) We've had good luck with: http://www.thebenchfactory.com/recycled-plastic-benches/custom-inlay-memorial-benches 2) I really like Landscape Forms furniture (www.landscapeforms.com). It is contemporary and fun; however, we do bring ours in for the winter. 3) If you're interested in poly furniture, we ordered a bench from this company 6 years ago and flower boxes 5 years ago. We can move both with relative ease, but we leave them out all year. There may be a little fading at this point, but otherwise they're still in excellent condition. The bench is quite comfortable (http://www.poly-lumber-furniture.com/polywood-vineyard-48-bench.html) 4) We purchased classic landscapeforms outdoor furniture 10 years ago. It was a bit pricey, yet still looks good today even though we leave the furniture out year round. On the downside, the furniture is very heavy and takes two people to move. The tables that we chose had a solid top which needs cleaning after it rains. Their new improved design has holes on the table top which allow water and dirt to drain off the top. I can only assume that they do not look as dirty and do not need to be cleaned as often as our table tops. 5) We ordered the following chair, as well as a bench and table by the same manufacturer last July. They are very sturdy, yet can be moved fairly easily by the average adult. They endured the winter very well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HHT0BCO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 6) I just moved to Michigan from Duluth, Minnesota. Many of the outdoor commercial spaces in Duluth have invested in Loll outdoor furniture. Loll is a great midwestern company. The furniture is extremely durable and comfortable, and since it is easy to move most places lock it down. It is pricey, but it will look like new for years. 7) I've been very happy with some purchases we made at Costco. Not a "library furniture" store, but good quality and an excellent return policy. 8) Library Design Dave David Conklin Director Genesee District Library (810) 230-3335 Office (810) 732-1161 Fax dconklin at thegdl.org Genesee District Library Headquarters 4195 W.

[MDE Logo] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Michigan Lands $70K Grant to Grow Farm-to-School Program June 27, 2017 LANSING - Michigan schoolchildren soon will eat more fresh, locally-grown produce thanks to a farm-to-school grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. "Hundreds of applicants from across the nation competed for limited funding, so I'm very excited that Michigan was selected as a grant recipient amid such overwhelming interest in this latest round of USDA Farm to School Grants," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. In announcing the $70,280 grant, the USDA said Michigan's application stood out because it "demonstrated your strong experience and readiness" to oversee ongoing farm-to-school initiatives. Michigan's funding will help strengthen partnerships and improve farm-to-school data collection to support achieving a goal of public K-12 schools purchasing at least 20 percent of their fruits and vegetables from local sources by 2020. Specifically, the MDE plans to use the funds to: * Expand school food service director (FSD) networks and cultivate their leadership via a new Cultivate Michigan Farm to School Leadership Institute; * Host a series of regional Cultivate Michigan Marketplace networking events to help FSDs strengthen relationships with local food suppliers; * Build a more stable, informed school market for local food producers; and * Develop more FSDs as community food systems leaders. The grant project is a collaboration among the MDE, Michigan State University (MSU) Extension, MSU's Center for Regional Food Systems, The Ecology Center, and Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD). For the past decade, Michigan has supported several farm-to-school efforts, such as 10 Cents a Meal, an effort by MDE and several state partners to improve school nutrition, encourage local produce consumption, and incentivize economical farm-to-school produce pipelines in communities statewide. Schools purchase and serve local produce and are reimbursed by up to 10 cents per meal under the pilot program. In Michigan, 47 percent of K-12 students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals through USDA Child Nutrition Programs. MDE administers the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Summer Food Service Program, Food Distribution programs, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and various local purchasing efforts such as Farm to School, Farm to Institution, and 10 Cents a Meal. For more information about Michigan's farm-to-school efforts, please contact Jaime Malnar, MDE School District Consultant, at 517-335-3792 or Colleen Matts, Farm to Institution Specialist, MSU Center for Regional Food Systems, at matts at msu.edu or 517-432-0310. # # # * Farm+to+School+Grant+.pdf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you have an interest in learning how to use data in your library you may want to take a look at this opportunity. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dive-into-data-2-new-skills-new-depths-tickets-30695678601 Since our last Dive into Data conference in 2015, the landscape has only become more complex and the expectations only greater. So, we're taking the conversation to the next level, by taking a very hands-on turn in our content for this year's event. We know that strong research begins with a well-defined question and answers come from well-planned data collection and analysis. By focusing on the how rather than the why of effective research projects, our conference tracks will introduce you to a variety of research methodologies, approaches and ideas suited for tackling different kinds of research projects and asking different kinds of questions. In addition to the three learning tracks described below, our day will also include.... Real-Life Research Case Study Panel--participants will describe different aspects of their research process: refining research questions, identifying stakeholders, selecting methods, and more Real-Time Research Projects--these will demonstrate various methods for collecting data and each will answer a question from each of our three tracks ________________________________ Conference Learning Tracks Visioning: Where do we go? * How should your library adapt and evolve to meet your community's needs? Learn more about using data to define your library's strategic direction and identify potential new initiatives. * Presentations in this track will cover topics such as environmental scanning, demographic shifts, economic factors, political trends, town halls, focus groups, sticky note sessions, surveys and more. Decision making: How do I choose? * Are you faced with a difficult choice, or attempting to persuade others of the right choice? Learn more about using data to gain insights into available options and prepare a credible, convincing case. * Presentations in this track will cover topics such as analytics, business intelligence, risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis and more. Evaluating: How are we doing? * Are your existing initiatives achieving your desired goals, or having the intended impact? Learn more about using data to assess the effectiveness of your library's programs and services. * Presentations in this track will cover topics such as goal setting, benchmarking, outcomes, performance measures, evaluation frameworks, satisfaction surveys and more. https://www.ohionet.org/dive-data-2 Shannon White Library of Michigan www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan 517.373.9489 Whites29 at michigan.gov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Well this week we could no longer get faxes to go to DHS or the licensing bureau. Another library in the area was having the same problem. She had a connection to the state and got a hold of their tech people. His suggestion was to check the speed of your fax and change it and maybe call the phone carrier. Our director contacted our phone company and they changed some setting at their end. Today we faxed to the unemployment office and it went through. WOO HOO So if you are still having problems you may want to contact your phone carrier and see if there is something that can be done on their end.

Thank you to everyone for your quick (and illuminating) responses to my question about ARCs! Here they are, compiled, as requested by a couple of people: Once I've read the ARC's I usually put them in the little free libraries that we stock here in Grandville. I have also used them as giveaways during school visits. From my understanding, you cannot make ARC's part of a library collection. They are not finished copies and the ARC copies usually say explicitly on them that they cannot be sold or used in library collections. I love getting them in kids hands and try to do that as much as possible. I believe you are not supposed to put these items on your shelves, or that what I was taught way back before I became a Director. I always just bring stuff back for the staff to divide among themselves, or maybe offer as little door prizes at programs. These ARCs are for personal use and cannot be sold or added to a Library's collection. We often hand them out as raffle prizes at the beginning of programs or pass them around to staff members. May not be sold, should not be cataloged. They are NOT final proofread copies. We have just started doing facebook giveaways. Be the first person to find the right answer about our web page and you win. I also take giant bags to a big family reunion (Sunday in Cadillac!) and they all get taken. We have the summer reading program and we use them as prizes. As for the extra, we give them to staff who wants them, then we also have little libraries for the community. Basically we can drop books off in here and people can take them home for free (usually leave the slip in there that asks them to go online and review since it is an arc). We have a spot by our biggby that goes empty all the time because college students and kids snatch them up in the area. I don't think you are allowed to circulate them. I don't think it's "illegal" but it's unethical. You weren't given them to get out of supporting the author. (that is how I have explained it to my teachers who sometimes get ARC's). I give them away as freebies or prizes. But I also read a lot of them and then review them because the authors and publishers are looking for early buzz. Your library staff can help review as well and then if the books are good, buy them for your library. We just put them on a ?Free? shelf for patrons to take. I was always under the impression that circulating ARCs was a no-no, for a few reasons: the manuscript could change significantly upon publication, copyright issues, and the ambiguous release date. I'd be interested in hearing if libraries do add them to the collection. I don't add them at Berkley. Sharon, arcs are never allowed to be put on library shelves or to be sold by Friends Group. There was just a big discussion about this issue on Twitter. Putting arcs on shelves is taking profit out of author's pockets and they (authors) are rethinking the entire arc giveaways. I've run a pre-pub book club for years. Was written up in Shelf Awareness. 1 of rules that I MUST legally abide by is to not sell, or put in collections. So, we give them away as prizes, put in Little Free Library's, shelters etc. As far as my libraries, I am new here, but I believe that the previous director used them for giveaways (sometimes with little notes attached noting they were ARCs and to feel free to review the book for the publisher and/or let the library know if it is a book they feel we need to purchase). I don't think ARCs are permitted to circulate, but I admit I also don't know. We did have a great idea from a former teen librarian (could also work for all ages): she put them at a service desk (honor system) and asked patrons to read and review them, then if the review was good and she bought the book, she promoted it with that review. Since most of these are stamped "not for resale," I have always assumed that they were neither eligible to pass along to Friends groups or to put in the collection. They are provided to prep sellers/librarians, boost sales, contain a variety of missed edits and don't truly represent the author's final product. I don't believe there is any bib data for these. Since these were giveaways at ALA, you probably have more leeway, but if you make this a practice, your library might get cut out of any formalized programs through publishers or wholesalers if they find out. Unlikely, but a risk. While it seems a waste of resources, I have always recycled these or passed them to other libraries/staff members when finished. We put ARCs on a freebie table. For YA ARCs, I give them to our teen volunteers as prizes or thank yous. We do not add them to our collection. We do not catalog ARC's, nor from everything I've read is it legal to do so. You may get a waiver from an author or publisher allowing you to circulate it, but if so I would keep that waiver on file. We offer ARC's around to staff first, for review purposes, then we offer them to members of the Friends of the Library, and then we just put them out for the public with a sign that clearly states they are advance review copies and cannot be legally sold or resold with a recommendation that if the person reading the book likes it they post a review somewhere and pass it on to a friend. We used to keep boxes of ARC's back for Christmas and distribute them during a local parade; we also have put them out for free during our holiday Open House (with the aforementioned sign), but we haven't done any programming specifically around ARC's. My understanding is that ARCs are expressly not to be added to library collections, but I don?t know if that?s a policy thing from places I?ve worked or a permission-from-publishers thing that?s more universal. Sharon - most of the publishers do not allow circulation of ARCS, but do allow giveaway. We have a rep at BT who explained to us what we can and cannot do. Because they are not published yet and may contain errors, and are available before publication and street date, they should not be circulated. They cannot be sold either, so they don't go to our friends group. We give some away at teen events and some go to local little free library organizations. We allow staff to take and read them and return them or pass them to friends. We use ARCs that we bring back from conferences as summer reading prizes. Since most libraries have adult summer reading too, that solution works for all of them. At the East Lansing Public Library, we give them away as prizes for our summer reading programs or at other programs. I am not sure you can actually catalog and put them on your shelves. I know you cannot sell them in the Friends used books or any other way. We were always told that we can't sell them and we can't add them. That was the deal with getting ARCs. So we use them as grab-bag prizes for summer reading prizes. We run a reading=>tickets/entries into drawings for specific prizes. For the grab bags, we get as many of the cool bags and ARCs that we can at the conference or from the local book store, and group them into like genres (romance, mystery, general fiction, true crime (if we get enough), teen, etc.). Participants only see the bag, the genre, and how many books are in the bag. It's pretty popular here as a prize. I would closely read any copyright or disclaimers that appear on the books themselves ? different publishers may have different requirements on how ARCs can be used. I also located a couple of other sources that discuss ARCs. Here is an interesting Blog entry on the topic: http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2009/09/01/but-can-i-catalog-it/ Here is how one library deals with them (that appears to be completely within the scope of an ARC?s purpose): http://blogs.stlukesct.org/slslibrary/2017/01/30/advanced-readers-copies-ready-in-the-library/ Sorry if someone has already said this, but ARC are NOT supposed to go on library shelves. They have not yet been fully edited and CANNOT and MAY NOT be sited. Please do not place these on your shelves. The errors I have found in some that I have read are horrendous! All those lovely ARCs! ? This is the first program I?ve done to try to put them to good use, and I was very pleased with how it turned out: - Distributed ARC?s to readers via programs or word of mouth - Stipulated that readers must read the book, write a review, and have their photo taken with the book for publication via Facebook/the newspaper - Those who participated were given a coupon for a free drink at the local coffee shop We distributed the reviews and photos via Facebook, mostly. When I ordered in the ?real? books, I re-shared the Facebook posts as further publicity for that book. You can look up the photos and reviews on our Facebook page, here: https://www.facebook.com/tamaracklibrary/ p.s. If patrons ask, I tell them they may pass the ARC on to someone else who would enjoy it. Otherwise, they go on the Friends of the Library book sale. They make good Summer Reading give-aways. We do not put them on our shelves OR sell them in our used bookstore. We give them away as freebies to the library staff and volunteers. I think we gave them away also once for our Senior bingo game. So in recent years I have searched out the ?real? books when I go to conferences ? unless I know someone on staff will want to read the ARC. We put them in the staff break room as freebies/job perks and encourage people to read and, if appropriate, review them. We tell them that even if it's not for them, but for a friend, neighbor, or family member, to please find someone by whom it will be appreciated. We've never put them into circulation but I have seen many libraries that have a special shelving unit for ARCs that patrons can take. SPEAKING OF ARCs -- I tried desperately to extend my trip through Monday in order to see Andy Weir and get a copy of Artemis for our librarian who buys science fiction. Did any of you, by chance, end up with an extra copy you would gift to someone who would be, oh, so grateful? [Rudy C. Wright, Adult Services, Portage District Library, 300 Library Lane, Portage, MI 49002 269-329-4544 ext. 8713] Any ARC's that I get I use as prizes. I do not think they belong on the shelf because they aren't the final finished product in most cases. I have encouraged kids to pass them on to a friend and many times place a library sticker inside that says courtesy of so they don't forget they got it from us. I strongly second what Carol said. ARCs are for promotional and review purposes ONLY, and are not to be used in the place of fully edited and published copies! We do a display on our shelves (ours is by the holds in our new section). We put a spine label on them but no barcode. It's an honor system and patrons typically tell us they are taking them as they think it's a check out item and we keep a tally and consider it a program. I am going to take a few of the ones from ALA - The Last Mrs. Parrish and Need to Know(which is going to be a movie) and offer to our book club. The patrons do like them and it's good PR in a small town because they knew we went. Whatever you decide, keep it simple! -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

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.

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 will 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. The second 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! The third 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. We're planning to shoot the videos in August and September and we need your help. Do you have patrons with a great story to tell about their use of MeL? 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.

The staff member told me that they may say "not for sale" but they sell them anyway. I pushed back and she contacted their home office and was told that the publishers say it's OK after the date of publication. I am not a lawyer, I haven't spoken to one and I have no idea if that's correct. But if bookstores can sell them after the date of publication I would think that libraries could sell them in their book sales.

As for the extra, we give them to staff who wants them, then we also have little libraries for the community. Basically we can drop books off in here and people can take them home for free (usually leave the slip in there that asks them to go online and review since it is an arc). > We have a spot by our biggby that goes empty all the time because college students and kids snatch them up in the area. > > I don't think you are allowed to circulate them. I don't think it's "illegal" but it's unethical. You weren't given them to get out of supporting the author. (that is how I have explained it to my teachers who sometimes get ARC's). I give them away as freebies or prizes. But I also read a lot of them and then review them because the authors and publishers are looking for early buzz. Your library staff can help review as well and then if the books are good, buy them for your library. > > We just put them on a ?Free? shelf for patrons to take. > > I was always under the impression that circulating ARCs was a no-no, for a few reasons: the manuscript could change significantly upon publication, copyright issues, and the ambiguous release date.

There was just a big discussion about this issue on Twitter. Putting arcs on shelves is taking profit out of author's pockets and they (authors) are rethinking the entire arc giveaways. > I've run a pre-pub book club for years.

They are provided to prep sellers/librarians, boost sales, contain a variety of missed edits and don't truly represent the author's final product. I don't believe there is any bib data for these. Since these were giveaways at ALA, you probably have more leeway, but if you make this a practice, your library might get cut out of any formalized programs through publishers or wholesalers if they find out. Unlikely, but a risk.

We have a rep at BT who explained to us what we can and cannot do. Because they are not published yet and may contain errors, and are available before publication and street date, they should not be circulated. They cannot be sold either, so they don't go to our friends group. > > We give some away at teen events and some go to local little free library organizations.

I know you cannot sell them in the Friends used books or any other way. > > We were always told that we can't sell them and we can't add them. That was the deal with getting ARCs. So we use them as grab-bag prizes for summer reading prizes. We run a reading=>tickets/entries into drawings for specific prizes. For the grab bags, we get as many of the cool bags and ARCs that we can at the conference or from the local book store, and group them into like genres (romance, mystery, general fiction, true crime (if we get enough), teen, etc.). Participants only see the bag, the genre, and how many books are in the bag.

If patrons ask, I tell them they may pass the ARC on to someone else who would enjoy it. Otherwise, they go on the Friends of the Library book sale. > > They make good Summer Reading give-aways. > We do not put them on our shelves OR sell them in our used bookstore. > We give them away as freebies to the library staff and volunteers. I think we gave them away also once for our Senior bingo game. So in recent years I have searched out the ?real? books when I go to conferences ? unless I know someone on staff will want to read the ARC. > We put them in the staff break room as freebies/job perks and encourage people to read and, if appropriate, review them. We tell them that even if it's not for them, but for a friend, neighbor, or family member, to please find someone by whom it will be appreciated. We've never put them into circulation but I have seen many libraries that have a special shelving unit for ARCs that patrons can take. > > SPEAKING OF ARCs -- I tried desperately to extend my trip through Monday in order to see Andy Weir and get a copy of Artemis for our librarian who buys science fiction. Did any of you, by chance, end up with an extra copy you would gift to someone who would be, oh, so grateful? [Rudy C.

I do not think they belong on the shelf because they aren't the final finished product in most cases. I have encouraged kids to pass them on to a friend and many times place a library sticker inside that says courtesy of so they don't forget they got it from us. > > I strongly second what Carol said.

We put a spine label on them but no barcode. It's an honor system and patrons typically tell us they are taking them as they think it's a check out item and we keep a tally and consider it a program. I am going to take a few of the ones from ALA - The Last Mrs. Parrish and Need to Know(which is going to be a movie) and offer to our book club. > > The patrons do like them and it's good PR in a small town because they knew we went.

We are currently using Ingram (for fully processed books), but we are curious if any of you use different vendors and what you think of them. It seems like Ingram orders take a considerable amount of time between order placement (online) and the receipt of the fully processed books at our library. Does anyone use a vendor other than Ingram? If so, do you happen to know the approximate amount of time it takes for an order to be placed, processed, and received at your library? And what do you think of the cost? Including processing? Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
