Program Features Book by Award-Winning Author March 1, 2017 LANSING - A rhyming, rollicking children's book about a toad in trouble and anxiety stuck on a road in a load of gum of the bubble variety has been named as the featured title of the 2017 "Michigan Reads! One State, One Children's Book" program, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum is authored by Lisa Wheeler, a Michigan resident, and illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith (Little Brown and Company, 2004). Wheeler is the award-winning author of more than 35 children's books including Even Monsters Need to Sleep (2017) and the popular Dino-Sports series. Her awards include: American Library Association Notable Children's Book, the Parents Choice Recommended Award, and the Society of School Librarians International Honor Book. "Reading can be fun and entertaining while teaching children at the same time, as shown by Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum" State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. "Having all children reading at grade level by the end of third grade remains one of our top priorities." In the book, readers wonder what happens when Toad gets stuck in gum melting in the road, and are called upon to join in the adventure to help free Toad and friends, using teamwork, from their sticky predicament. "The Michigan Reads! program this year offers an exciting, tongue-twister of a story about working together," said State Librarian Randy Riley. "Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, is a fun way to engage children in the love of reading." The Library of Michigan's (LM) "Michigan Reads!" program is devoted to increasing early childhood literacy and pre-reading readiness. Programming, events, and author visits are scheduled at schools and libraries statewide during "March is Reading Month." The program launches Monday, March 6, at the Delta Township District Library. The "Michigan Reads!" program is modeled after the "One Book, One Community" concept and is designed to emphasize the importance of shared reading practices with babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and young school-age children. These practices set the stage for fluent reading achievement in children as they enter school. The program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Consumers Energy Foundation, and partners with the Library of Michigan Foundation. With support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the LM will provide a hardcover copy of the book and programming materials to all public libraries, elementary schools, Head Start and Great Start Readiness programs across the state. "Michigan Reads!" provides librarians, early childhood educators, parents, and caregivers with ideas to help children develop literacy skills through play-based activities. Since its inception in 2004, the program has aimed to promote the value and benefits of reading early and often to children; to encourage family bonding through reading; and to increase awareness and usage of Michigan's libraries as excellent resources for learning. More information about "Michigan Reads!" - including dates and locations of author visits and materials for parents, teachers and caregivers - is available at www.michigan.gov/michiganreads. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 185 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

Message-ID: Check out these free upcoming workshops from WebJunction, offered courtesy of the library of Michigan Privacy Literacy at Your Library Tuesday, March 7 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Our offline lives are no longer separate from our online identities. Many people are unaware of how their information is being used, what they have control over, or how to have safe online interactions. San Jos? Public Library's Virtual Privacy Lab has developed a seven-module customized learning experience for library patrons, in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. The modules guide users through topics such as social media and security, and provide personalized tips, links and resources that enable them to feel safe and confident online. This privacy literacy resource is available for everyone, so learn how you can utilize the online Virtual Privacy Lab with the populations you serve at your library. This webinar is part of a series highlighting the work of recent LJ Movers & Shakers and is hosted in collaboration with Library Journal. Presented by: Erin Berman, Innovations Manager, San Jos? Public Library (CA) Whole Person Librarianship: Fostering Empathy in Challenging Times Tuesday, March 28 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Libraries are among the few public spaces that feel safe and welcoming to everyone in our current political landscape. As librarians striving to provide equitable service, we are challenged to meet the needs of patrons whose life experiences are markedly different from our own. To address these challenges, we have much to learn much from social workers, who are trained to approach their clients with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries. Whole Person Librarianship draws from social work concepts to help librarians become more confident in learning from, interacting with, and serving diverse patrons. Learn basic ideas to build your empathy skills, such as cultural humility and person-in-environment, to apply right away to your library practice, as well as where to find more in-depth information and support. Presented by: Sara Zettervall, Founder, Whole Person Librarianship, and Adult Services Librarian, Hennepin County Library (MN); and Mary Nienow, PhD Candidate in Social Work, and beginning in August 2017, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (WI).

People nationwide can text 741741 to be connected with a trained Crisis Counselor. Nancy Lublin's (Founder + CEO) TED talk does a great job of explaining how it works here: https://www.ted.com/talks/nancy_lublin_texting_that_saves_lives Here are: -A flyer to post (Natl Texter Flyer) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzUY6ScGlxiVUHZ2MTM0WVQ3bDA -Stickers you can print (Sticker 10 per page: to print on Avery 8164 2? x 4? stickers) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzUY6ScGlxiVOVpVMDgzMlV2ajQ/view?usp=sharing -Logo (a png image to post) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzUY6ScGlxiVSkhsbkxWSW1kMlU What happens when you text the Crisis Text Line? Crisis Text Line: First, you?re in crisis. That doesn?t just mean suicide: it?s any painful emotion that?s getting in your way, for which you need support. Next, you text us at 741741. Your opening message can say anything: "Hello," "Start," or a description of what you're feeling. The first responses are automated. They tell you that you're being connected with a Crisis Counselor, and invite you to share a bit more. When you?ve reached a Crisis Counselor, they?ll introduce themselves, reflect on what you?ve said, and ask you to share at your own pace. You?ll then text back and forth with the Crisis Counselor. You never have to share anything you don?t want to. The Crisis Counselor will help you sort through your feelings by asking questions, empathizing, and actively listening. -Our service is completely free, but messaging rates apply if you?re NOT on Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, or T-Mobile. -About 90% of the time, it takes less than five minutes to connect you with a Crisis Counselor. It may take longer during busy times. Thanks for sharing this valuable resource with your communities. Every little bit helps!

Libraries doing this have stated that patrons don't and won't read these agreements and even if they click on the agreement, when it comes time to enforce the policy, the patrons argue that they were unaware of the policy provision you are enforcing. Let's be honest - almost no one is reading the multiple paragraphs of text that you find with the typical library use policy. As one director noted, we don't require patrons to read and acknowledge an acceptable use policy when they walk in the door but if they start acting in an unacceptable way, that doesn't prevent us from enforcing applicable library use policies when the patron starts acting inappropriately. Most libraries going this route still post a copy of their computer use policy in a visible location but generally not at every computer. Otherwise, you'll just end up with a lot of sign clutter than no one reads.

No matter what your school or library calls them, reading challenges are standard tools to motivate and educate. There's always a need for students to obtain recommendations for, and access to, books that fit particular criteria: read a genre you're not familiar with, an award winner, story set in a different country, nonfiction, etc. MeL databases can be of assistance with this activity. eBook K-8 Collection contains fiction and nonfiction books to read online and download for offline use. Browse categories or search for exactly what you want. With NoveList K-8 Plus users can create reading lists by subject, age, story line, character, etc. and automatically "Check the MeLCat catalog for availability". Read reviews, find read-alikes, and learn about the author, too. Enjoy! MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. Find out more about MeL databases that can help young readers by tuning into the March 22, 2017 webinar: http://mcls.org/training-events/training-events-list/training-event/?ref_cID=198&bID=0&dd_asId=7522 MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.

ASCLA?s Alzheimer?s and Related Dementias Interest Group (IGARD) requests your help with its survey to identify libraries directly serving patrons with Alzheimer?s and related dementias. In 2015 IGARD conducted its first National Survey of Current Practices (Excel spreadsheet). Since that time, many more libraries across the country have begun offering programs and services directly to persons living with dementia in their communities. IGARD would like to update its previous survey in order to get an up-to-date picture of what libraries are doing in this important area of service. If you are one of these innovative libraries, please self-identify by completing this brief survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2017-library-dementia-survey. If you responded to the earlier survey, we would appreciate an updated response. Results of this updated survey will be accumulated and posted on the IGARD Web page before the Annual Conference in June. If your library has not yet begun offering services to this growing segment of your community or are at the beginning stages, please note that IGARD is also hosting a Preconference before the Annual Conference entitled ?Becoming a Dementia Friendly Library: Serving People Living with Dementia in Your Community?. We are bringing in experts from the field of dementia care to provide background information and will be presenting several case studies of successful programs for this too often forgotten population. The preconference has been listed in the Conference Scheduler. Thank you in advance for your assistance with the survey and for your good work improving the quality of life for those living with dementia! Mary Beth Riedner Chair, IGARD Thanks.

Message-ID: Have you heard about the Public Library Association's performance measurement initiative, Project Outcome? Check out PLA's on-demand webinar, Outcome Measurement Made Easy with PLA's Project Outcome. This Spring, the Library of Michigan will be offering a day long Project Outcome training in four different locations throughout the state. April 17 - University Center, Mt. Pleasant April 27 - Redford Township District Library, Redford April 28 - Portage District Library, Portage May 3 - Peter White Public Library, Marquette For more information or to register for this intensive, full-day program, visit http://tinyurl.com/LMProjectOutcome. Project Outcome is a free toolkit designed to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services and programs by providing simple surveys and an easy-to-use process for measuring and analyzing outcomes. Project Outcome also provides libraries with the resources and training support needed to apply their results and confidently advocate for their library's future. While many public libraries collect data about their services and programs, what is often lacking are the data to support what good they are providing their communities, such as programs serving childhood literacy, digital and technological training, and workforce development. With Project Outcome, patron attendance and anecdotal success stories are no longer the only way libraries can demonstrate their effectiveness. Developed by library leaders, researchers, and data analysts, Project Outcome is designed to give libraries simple tools and supportive resources to help turn better data into better libraries. Measuring outcomes helps libraries answer the question, "What good did we do?" An outcome is a specific benefit that results from a library service or program. Outcomes can be quantitative or qualitative, and are often expressed as changes that individuals perceive in themselves. Project Outcome helps libraries measure four key patron outcomes-knowledge, confidence, application, and awareness-in seven key library service areas: * Civic/Community Engagement * Digital Learning * Economic Development * Education/Lifelong Learning * Early Childhood Literacy * Job Skills * Summer Reading The Project Outcome toolkit provides libraries with free access to quick and simple patron surveys, an easy-to-use Survey Portal to collect their outcomes, ready-made reports and visually interactive Data Dashboards for analyzing the data, and various resources to help move libraries from implementing surveys to taking action using the results. Libraries are encouraged to use their data to support and promote future action - from allocating resources more efficiently, to advocating new resources more effectively, to providing support for future library funding, branch activity reports, and strategic planning. Project Outcome provides three tools for libraries to measure their outcomes: * Immediate Surveys: Measure patron-reported learning * Follow-Up Surveys: Measure patron-reported adoption/application * Outcome Measurement Guidelines: Measure long-term impact (coming soon) Evette M.

Ideally, it would be a vertical cabinet with 9 drawers configured for 4" square boxes of 35 mm film rolls. If not, do you have a good source for such a cabinet at a reasonable price?

Discussion on Removing Overdue Fines Colleagues, I read with interest the recent Slate article on eliminating overdue fines and wondered if any local libraries have taken this step? If you have, please respond to me off list. I will compile the responses I get and repost them. Here's the link to the article in case you missed it: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2017/02/librarians_are_realizing_that_overdue_fines_undercut_libraries_missions.html While I'd like to take the plunge and eliminate fines, I'm worried about 1) sending a message to patrons that we don't need the revenue; 2) the actual loss of revenue it could cause; and 3) whether it would cause issues with our neighbors if we removed fines from residents but kept them for reciprocal borrowers and other non-residents. I welcome any thoughts on the issue, even if you haven't done it. Thanks, Dave Cromaine: We have never charged fines. It is highly unlikely we would. As our trustees have explained (and me, and our staff), the labor cost of counting nickels & dimes is absurd. Because we never have, it isn't a loss, although some patrons have told us that we should. These, I suspect, are patrons who either do not use us or who are OCD on returning on time. I have seen a fines budget of $90,000 per year (Bloomfield, I think?). And, as a relatively new (one year) member of SAS, you bet it causes our neighbor libraries problems. But those are their problems and not ours. We have not seen a big uptick in patrons driving out of their way to northeast Livingston County in order to return their materials at a library that does not charge fines. Having fine structures that differ by "class" of library cardholder? Ick, both in communications and the actual day-to-day attempt to deliver positive service. Highland: Thanks for raising the question. The article had caught my eye, too. Part of what was of interest is that cards are blocked for those with items "more than three weeks overdue." So, it's not that there's no consequences - in fact, I think the blocking of the card happens a little sooner in this scenario than our current time frame for billing for an item as assumed lost. Lost/damaged fines still apply. So, emphasis falls on materials recovery not on due date rules. Don't think we're ready to take the leap - concern for lost revenue - but I made sure my Board saw this article, with the line about empowering staff to use good judgement in waiving fines highlighted. Weigh lost revenue against good will, time spent in haggling over fines and negativity that generates and I'm honestly not sure how that would fall out. When Cromaine/Hartland (Highland's neighbor) joined the Shared Automated System I was initially worried because they are fine free and I didn't know how that would affect us. But at this point, without really digging into it, I can't see it's been a major problem. Independence: We did not eliminate fines but we did turn on the auto-renew feature on our ILS. It has reduced late materials, increased circulation, and made for happier patrons. We have a max of 2 renewals on most items. Some would say that the increased circulation is a false inflation of the stat but in my opinion, if the patron keeps an item past the due date we should be counting that as an additional circulation. We did have a campaign to educate patrons about the importance of holds when you need an item and how that prevents auto-renew. Auto-renew has reduced revenue somewhat but fine revenue has always been less than 1% of our budget anyway so we decided it was a positive feature for patrons without giving the impression that we don't need the money at all, as you said. I remember that Capital Area District Library used to be fine-free when I was working in Lansing about 11 years ago, but reinstated fines shortly thereafter...I'm not sure of the exact reasoning. I believe that while Lance Werner was their director he increased the fine rates in an effort to improve revenue but it backfired in that regard and resulted in patrons getting better about returning their materials on time which, as he said when he was telling me about it, is really the point of fines in the first place. If you want an accurate account you should really contact him about it. It will be interesting to hear what you find out. Gross Pointe: It is something we are thinking about in Grosse Pointe, although still in a very conceptual way at this point. I am eager to hear the results of your query from other TLN libraries! Flat Rock: Interesting read. I would not completely eliminate fines because the materials we have are for everyone to use and the fines are for several reasons, including patrons feeling more compelled to return the item they checked out. More importantly, patrons are at a disadvantage when item isn't returned at the due date. That being said, overdue fines can be waived or payment plans can be created for those who are unable to pay the full amount or if the patron doesn't have a "history" of overdue/lost fines. These are case by case scenarios, of course. Garden City: My initial thought was "what about the revenue?" But then I considered what a small percent of our revenue that is. In Garden City, as with the libraries in the article, overdue fees amount to only 1% of our revenue. I think that might be a fair exchange for the good will and positive PR. (I am less confident my Board would see it this way.) I do not think the public will see it as "we don't need the money". Especially if your staff have a consistent Message with which to respond. Something akin to "Fines were never about generating revenue." If I were to eliminate overdue fines, I would do so equally for all my users (resident or not). My question would then be, what about other library's materials borrowed here, or returned here? My users might be confused as to why they owe a fine for this book but not that when they are both late. On the other hand, should I be waiving fines on your library's materials as a standard procedure, just because the book passed through my library to the user? David L.

Whole Person Librarianship: Fostering Empathy in Challenging Times Tuesday, March 28, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/whole-person-librarianship.html Libraries are among the few public spaces that feel safe and welcoming to everyone in our current political landscape. As librarians striving to provide equitable service, we are challenged to meet the needs of patrons whose life experiences are markedly different from our own. To address these challenges, we have much to learn much from social workers, who are trained to approach their clients with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries. Whole Person Librarianship draws from social work concepts to help librarians become more confident in learning from, interacting with, and serving diverse patrons. Learn basic ideas to build your empathy skills, such as cultural humility and person-in-environment, to apply right away to your library practice, as well as where to find more in-depth information and support. Presented by: Sara Zettervall, Founder, Whole Person Librarianship, and Adult Services Librarian, Hennepin County Library (MN); and Mary Nienow, PhD Candidate in Social Work, and beginning in August 2017, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (WI) Civility Goes Viral: A New Approach for a New Era Tuesday, April 18, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/civility-goes-viral.html To "choose civility" means to celebrate diversity and choose respect, compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness when interacting with others. Civility is the healing power we need to counteract the divisive, fragmented forces that seem to be undermining our social fabric. Since 2006, Howard County Library System (MD) has been leading the way toward community connectedness with their Choose Civility initiative. They, along with three library systems across the country, invite you to join the movement to nurture civility in your own community. Learn how kindness creates communities, how to challenge stereotypes effectively, and cultivate random acts of civility. Find opportunities to implement Choose Civility to enhance internal and external customer service, develop partnerships and community support, and create a more connected community of people who will #choose2Bkind. Let?s see civility go viral in 2017.

We have a collection of local historic newspapers in an ongoing digitization project. Donation money specified for this project has enabled us to have the physical papers scanned with OCR technology onto external hard drives. Currently, we have 30+GB of data, with each PDF weighing around 10,000KB. I am looking into making these files available to the public online through our library's website. I've run into some problems because the files are too large to upload to WordPress, and I do not want to overload our website. I found an online reading service called Sribd, which the files will fit on and I can link to the files from our website. However, I am having concerns about storing these files on a third-party, corporate site, which may not have the security or longevity we would need. Does anyone have an experience with making local historic documents available online? What service did you use, and what was the cost? I'm open to considering all suggestions.

We are planning on getting more input from our community, but would like feedback from other libraries. If your library offers such a service, which items have been the most popular? Which items have been the most problematic? Have you had any expected difficulties or issues? Do you have any other advice?

This Month's Wisdom... "As recommended by ECRR, it helps to take a more FUN (yet thoughtful) approach to programming for teen parents, lest you lose your audience. So think about how you can present the practices of Talk, Sing, Read, Write and Play in a fun way." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Teen Parents [teen parent]According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy there were 229,715 teen births in the US during 2015 (most recent data) for teens ages 15-19. That is 22.3 births per 1,000 teens of these ages in the U.S. Michigan has fewer births per 1,000 (19.4) and ranks 21st compared to other states, meaning that there are 29 states that have MORE births per 1,000. So Michigan is slightly less than the national average. Who serves or is reaching out to teen parents at your library? Is this group neglected or largely overlooked? Most often, this type of outreach falls to children's librarians, because we are the ones who have the knowledge of early literacy skills and what the parents/parent can be doing to make sure a baby is exposed to early literacy practices from birth. This is a hard group to reach for many reasons (see Reflections below). There may be a program at your local public school system for teen parents, preschool children of teen parents may be enrolled in Head Start or Even Start, or there may be another social service organization that reaches teen parents in your area. If you can partner with any of these, the Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) project is a natural fit to introduce these parent/s to early literacy practices. As recommended by ECRR, it helps to take a more FUN (yet thoughtful) approach to programming for teen parents, lest you lose your audience. So think about how you can present the practices of Talk, Sing, Read, Write and Play in a fun way. The School Library Journal article that is linked in the Reflections section below lists several types of programs that have been successful in libraries around the country. Here are two others that I would like to mention: 1. San Antonio Public Library has a specific outreach program to teen parents that incorporates ECRR's five practices. Here is a handout from their program. I think their ten tips are particularly useful. 2. Salt Lake County Library Services partnered with a local school district to hold a "Teen Parent Picnic." At the picnic, the young parents were given goodie bags containing nursery rhymes, some toys, and information about the library. They were all invited to select several new books to take home. Snacks were served, and the families and children were entertained by two storytimes. David Bird, a librarian with Salt Lake County, gave his storytime in Spanish. He spoke about his role as a parent, and introduced early literacy practices based on the Every Child Ready to Read project. (Outreach Librarian, June 25, 2014.) There is an actual book published on this subject if you are interested. Titled Serving Teen Parents: From Literacy to Life Skills, the book was written by Ellin Klor and Sarah Nordhausen and was published by Libraries Unlimited in 2011. If you do not have time to read an entire book, here is an article that was written by one of the authors and is available online. Do you have an existing program where you are doing outreach to teen parents? If so, write me at sue at kidlitplus.com and I will mention it in the next newsletter. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Nighty Night]Here are three books from 2017 that would be great to recommend to teen parents. The first is for babies, the second for toddlers, and the third is most appropriate for preschoolers. Nighty Night. Leslie Patricelli. Candlewick, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-7932-3. $6.99. The double page spread depicting "naked dance" is more than worth the price of the book! All of Leslie Patricelli's board books are great for babies. My favorite is still Yummy Yucky but this is a close second. Just listen to some of the rhyming (phonological awareness) text: Bye-bye, pants. Naked dance! We're so grubby. Tubby scrubby. Brushy toothy. Brushy hair. Kissy Daddy. Huggy bear. PJs on. A book and then...."I'm not done! Again! Again!" Another new title for 2017 by Patricelli is Hair. Candlewick, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-7931-6. $6.99. [And I have you] And I Have You: A Book of Mothers and Babies. Maggie Smith. Knopf, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-553-51019-5. $17.99. This is marketed to be bought by individual families since one can insert their own photo in the cover and personalize the book, however, saying that, it can also be used exactly like is, with the picture the illustrator has depicted. This is a wonderful book for toddlers due to the simple text with just one line per page. It is a great introduction to what one calls the young of different animals. "A hen has her chicks, a duck has her ducklings, a cow has her calf, and I have you. Wherever you go and whatever you see, I'll always have you and you'll always have me." Good Night! Good Night! Carin Berger. Greenwillow, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-06-240884-6. $17.99. It's time for bed, but Mama Bunny is finding it impossible to get her three little bunnies to go to sleep. This book is lots of fun and is interactive --- children can jump along with the bunnies, and they call participate in the repeated refrains. "Good-night stories, good-night songs, good-night hugs, good-night kisses, good-night hugs (again), good-night dance, good night, Bunny....." A perfect bedtime book for preschoolers! [Good Night] ________________________________ Websites of the Month [book jacket]Here are several links to articles or websites that will be helpful to librarians who want to do programming for teen parents. 1. An interview with Ellin Klor, author of Serving Teen Parents: From Literacy to Life Skills. The interview is called "High Need, High Impact: Outreach to Teen Parents and their Children." There are many useful ideas here, but I particularly like the answer to the question of how she adapts her storytime to fit the needs of teen parents. 2. PBS Parents has a wonderful website that covers developmental characteristics of one, two, and three year-olds that will be useful to teen parents and librarians alike. Under each age group are topics including: approaches to learning, social and emotional growth, creative arts, language, literacy, etc. 3. Zero to Three -- one of the best sites that offers a comprehensive interactive resource for parents and early childhood education professionals on healthy development of children ages zero to three. There is a wealth of information here, but the section on literacy would be particularly beneficial to use with teen parents. ________________________________ Reflections... [Teen Parents graphic]Teen Parents and Library Programming An article in School Library Journal last year really had me thinking. It was just a few lines in the article, but it really hit home for me. It mentioned that almost all the programs we offer at public libraries that would help teen parents instill early literacy skills with their babies were not accessible to teens what so ever. For example, many storytime programs are held during the daytime (teen parents are probably attending school at those times) or, even if evening programs are offered, teens would be doing homework and attending to their child, or even working a job. Other teens might not even think of the public library as a source of support, or, if they did, may be uncomfortable coming to the public library. So, reaching teen parents with early literacy messages in libraries is probably not happening to any great degree. Thus, it seems the only way possible to reach teen parents would be through outreach. Most high schools have programs aimed specifically at teen parents, or a time during the school day when those students meet to learn skills that will help them with their baby. I worked in Ohio libraries my entire career, and our schools had GRAD programs. GRAD stood for Graduation, Reality And Dual-role Skills and was Ohio's in-school instructional program for Grades 7-12 pregnant and parenting teens. I did a little research on Michigan, and found this: Michigan Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting Program "The Michigan Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting Program (MI-APPP) engages expectant and parenting teens, young fathers and their families in a system of care through the implementation of the Adolescent Family Life Program - Positive Youth Development (AFLP-PYD) case management program and other support services. AFLP-PYD allows for tailored case management services to address various risk behaviors, the impact of trauma, and link teens to community resources and support services to improve educational, health and social outcomes." I also found a reference to this on the Michigan educational website: "Programs, usually available within the regular high school curriculum, that provide opportunities for pregnant teens and teenage students who are parents to complete their high school education and receive diplomas. Classes which focus on child development, infant care, mother/infant nutrition and childbirth preparation are available in addition to the basic graduation requirements and academic electives. Students who are enrolled in the program may also receive nutritionally balanced meals (breakfast and lunch), prenatal care, family planning and counseling services." It might be a wonderful idea to see what is happening at your local high schools and partnering with the person in charge so that you can interact with teen parents. As far as what types of programs you could do, please see the SLJ article that I mentioned earlier, it is packed with ideas: "To Support Teen Parents, Libraries Build Trust and Unique Programs." ________________________________ ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

Including grey literature in systematic reviews is an important strategy for reducing bias in included studies, but there are significant challenges to designing and carrying out a grey literature search. Librarians can expect systematic review teams to turn to them for expertise in conducting, managing, and documenting a grey literature search. This webinar provides participants with a framework for grey literature decision-making and tips for managing the search process, so that they can deliver black and white (clear and credible) results. Parking at WMed: View the map for instructions. You can park in the Kalamazoo Mall Ramp 3 with entrance on Portage Street. The medical school has numbered and non-numbered spaces on Level 5 designated by WMed signs. You can park in any of those open spaces. After registration, you will receive a PDF dashboard day pass. Please print the dashboard day pass and display it in the front window of your vehicle and bring the ticket from the ticket machine with you for validation. Alternatively, there are a few spaces in front of the medical school on South Street that offer free 90-minute parking if you can find one. In that case, there is no need to use the dashboard day pass. Security will validate your parking ramp ticket.

The Oscoda County Library has a very exciting event that we would like to invite all of you to attend. We will be presenting Young Audiences, New York's Literature to Life performance of *The Giver on Wednesday, April 12, 2017 at 6:30pm* at our main branch in Mio. This is a free event for our community. Literature to Life will also be presenting two workshops in our local school for 7th grade students currently studying this book. *THIS IS A MUST SEE EXPERIENCE!* This is an amazing experience for the students in your community and even more wonderful if you are the one that can bring it to them. My hope is to get some other libraries on board for next year and offer this to as many communities as possible. Literature to Life has been presented by the Whiting in Flint for many years now and has also been to the Macomb Center. Our library received a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs to help bring this program in, so there is funding out there to help with the costs. So please, if you have the opportunity, join us for this event. I would love to talk to you about the program and the impact it has had on our students and community members! Let us know if you will be attending, 989-826-3613 or reply to this email. Thanks for your time and have a wonderful weekend! -- *Beth A.

The explanation given for this unprecedented move was ?restructuring? of the library. As a librarian who worked at Westland for many years, I was concerned to learn about this turn of events, so I went to the library's next board meeting where I found out the head of the department had also just resigned, bringing their number down to only two people. Although the board president tried to stop me, I recorded most of the meeting here (it has already had 12,000 views): https://www.facebook.com/kristy.cooper.71/videos/ 10210959179687172/ The reason for this sudden "restructuring" decisions do not hold water (it is not even in alignment with the library's fiscal year budget which is July-June). It is alarming for two reasons. First, the removal of 5/8 of full time librarians at once and with no notice seems to be a blatant attempt to disrupt unionization activities currently underway after several years of court cases involving unionization of library staff. Second, because the unvested retirement funds of these librarians will likely be returned to the general fund and will help to break ground on a $3 million building expansion currently being planned.

They let 5 adult and teen services librarians go and the Dept. Head resigned. They still have (I believe) 3 youth services librarians, and 2 adult services librarians. The current guidelines only call for the director to be an MLS degreed librarian. The other ?librarians? may be level 3 certified (4 yr. college degree + Beginner?s Workshop). The Board president seems more than a bit na?ve though to expect that service will return to normal after replacing 5 full-time librarians with 3 part-time library assistants. Library service in western Wayne County took a big hit when the Westland Board approved this ?reorganization? plan.

USAC's EPC Category Budget Tool was reporting budgets that did not align with $150/student for schools or $2.30/$5.00 per square foot for libraries. For example, the school shown below, with 727 students based on prior year calculations of $150/student, would have a C2 budget amount of $109,050. USAC's tool, however, is reporting a C2 budget of $110,140.50. [x] After inquiring with USAC and doing some additional research, it was determined that USAC is now applying a 1% inflation factor to budget calculations. As per the 2nd E-rate Modernization Order: 97. Category Two Costs. We find that the $1 billion annual target budget set for category two services in the E-rate Modernization Order is sufficient to provide the E-rate support needed for a five-year deployment of LANs and WLANs. In July, we stated that the question of available funds for these five-year budgets was closely linked with the long-term funding for the E-rate program.238 We therefore applied the five-year budgets to applicants that received E-rate support for category two services in funding years 2015 and/or 2016, pending resolution of the program's overall funding needs. Having now extended these category two applicant budgets for all applicants for three additional funding years, we reaffirm the funding level for the E-rate support for category two budgets, based on the analysis set out in the E-rate Modernization Order.239 We also index the category two budget target and the applicant budgets to inflation. The calculations are as follows for the example above: Funding Year Students Base Per Student Category 2 Budget Inflation Factor Post-Inflation Adjustment Per Student Category 2 Budget Total Category 2 Budget 2015 727 $150 N/A $150.00 $109,050.00 2016 727 $150 N/A $150.00 $109,050.00 2017 727 $150 1% $151.50 $110,140.50 The inflation factor applies to both school and library budgets. Thus, the new effective Category Two budget is: $151.50/student for schools, $2.32/ sq. ft. or $5.05/ sq. ft. for libraries, and a Category Two budget floor of $9,292.00.

Several people asked to see the results so I'm sharing them, below: - Last year, we added a Gaga ball pit on the lot to encourage any one of any age to get outside and exercise. This also went well with the SRP theme "On your Mark, Get set, Read!" Kids and families use it often in good weather. We keep a ball at the library for use when we are open. We used money donated and designated for Youth by an individual. - We own the property ? the whole neighborhood has access. So far we?ve only used it for gardening classes, butterfly garden planting classes, nature photography classes. We also have our little free library in it ? along with paths and a bench. For us ? it just beautifies the lot where a church was torn down in front of our library. But, our city naturalist has found it useful for programs that we sponsor with him as listed above. - Last spring we partnered with our Township Dept. of Parks & Rec to install a StoryWalk? in a park in the library neighborhood. It was a fun and successful project and will continue again this summer. - We got a grant a couple of years ago to make a butterfly garden - Our library/township office is on a nature preserve and surrounded by a large trail system. While that may not be your situation, I will share some things we've done (the Township also) that the public has responded positively to and could be replicated on a smaller scale 1) Native Gardening - We have become recognized for planting only native Michigan plant species which has even led to an endangered butterfly living on our grounds. We hold a workshop about it yearly. This year we are hosting Drew Lathin from sustainable landscapes http://www.creatingsustainablelandscapes.com/ He's going to talk about landscaping with native plants. 2) Storybook Trail - In partnership with the Parks n Rec dept. we have basically put up plexiglass sign holders along the trail walkway and they show each page of a storybook so that you have to walk the whole trail in order to read the whole story. Kids get excited to run down the trail and find page 2, etc. - We have a beautiful park on library property. The local Rotary club planted and maintains the garden. We cut the grass and pay for the water that goes through our sprinkling system. The city empties the trash receptacles and installed and maintains the lights. Rotary pays about $4,500 a year to keep the garden weeded. They sell brick pavers to cover that cost. http://www.rochesterrotaryclub.org/Stories/rotary-gateway-park Our library has another beautiful garden in our "backyard". We paid for the garden when we opened the library and have five volunteer gardeners that maintain it. Their fearless leader is a master gardener. - At the Genesee District Library?s Headquarters building we developed a part of our lawn area into a reading garden with the help of our local MSU Master Gardener?s program. The Master Gardeners received a grant and did all the work of planning/designing and planting the garden areas. They put in a brick paved path leading to the reading area and fencing to separate the garden from the parking lot. Through donations and some of the grant money they planted a wide variety plants: hostas, roses, irises, hydrangea bush, etc. GDL gift funds provided the cement benches for sitting. The gardener?s come and perform routine maintenance on the plants/gardens every spring and fall. Sometime this spring, they will be putting in a compost bin towards the back of our property. They will teach our staff on how they can help add to the compost bin. We will have a program with them for the public on the benefits of composting at home. It?s a win-win for us and for the people going through the Master Gardner program! - The garden is there for our patrons to sit and read on nice days, use it when they want/need to talk on their cell phones, and story hours for kids in the summer. We have used it as over-flow seating area for our outdoor jazz concert by the group Straight Ahead. We will most likely use it for the composting program later this year. - - See if there is a master gardener group in the area. They might be willing to put in some display / learning plots or take care of things like the butterfly garden. - - If it is right by the library you might look at lending out yard games, maybe even on the hourly basis so you have a good chance of parts not going missing. Things like bocce, kubb, lawn bowling, etc. Our giant jenga (can't be named that) has been really popular and if you know a carpenter you could build yourself: http://www.aadl.org/catalog/record/1493380 - - If you have a larger park then you might look at getting a grant for a small pavilion on one end for performances or outside story times. You can also hang a sheet and do movie nights. Think I've seen one place that rented to local music artists as a venue to help pay for upkeep but you'd have to decide if that fits. - Our library has a park next to it. It's a wonderful asset. We have held yoga classes, Easter egg hunts, teddy bear picnics, Pokemon walks, summer reading activities, and more in the park. It's great to see storytime families extend their time together by going for a picnic lunch and play in the park after storytime. Ours has a 1/3 mile paved walking path that is nice to use during good weather. I go out there for a quick walk to clear the cobwebs out of my brain occasionally. -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

The Historical Society of Michigan's History Hounds Lecture Series allows attendees to delve into Michigan's history and dig up a bone or two of new appreciation to take home. That Sinking Feeling: Michigan and the RMS Titanic - Wednesday, March 15 at 7 PM Michigan had more than a passing connection to history's most famous maritime disaster. More than 60 passengers aboard the White Star liner were either Michigan residents or immigrants bound for the Wolverine State. United States Senator William Alden Smith, who was from Grand Rapids, organized and chaired the United States inquiry into the sinking. Senator Smith's inquiry and findings became the basis for new maritime safety laws, including the requirement that ships carry enough lifeboats for all aboard. This presentation explores the Titanic's history, her fatal maiden voyage, and the Michiganders who figured into her story. Lectures start at 7 p.m. (unless noted) at the Meijer Education Center at the Historical Society of Michigan, 5815 Executive Dr., Lansing, Michigan. The lecture and Q&As usually last about an hour. Seating is limited and pre-registration is suggested but not required. Walk-ins are welcome. If you are an individual member of HSM, registration is FREE. Registration for non-members is $5. Participants can "attend" remotely, if they prefer, through Zoom Video Communications and will be able to interact with the speaker and other attendees.* For in-person attendees, light refreshments will be available.

Audrey Geyer Message-ID: <69647b076d054a1aa32624ff61d810a7@FS-MAIL13.Adrian.gov> Hello there, We are having Audrey Geyer present at the Adrian District Library on Thursday, July 13th at 6:30 P.M. We are having a community screening and a Q&A with the filmmaker as part of our Adult Summer Reading program. Here is some more information about the presenter and her program: Hello, I am an independent video producer in the Metro Detroit area. My company, Visions, has completed a one hour documentary on Michigan Native Americans entitled, "Our Fires Still Burn: The Native American Experience." This documentary is currently airing nationally on PBS and has been positively reviewed by the Library School Journal and Booklist. I am wondering if you would be interested in purchasing a DVD for your library at www.OurFiresStillBurn.com or organizing a community screening and Q&A with the filmmaker. May 17-26 is Michigan Week and November is Native American Heritage Month. The target audience is middle school to adult viewers. You can watch the program at: https://vimeo.com/103901657 (the password is geyeraudrey). A trailer is available at www.OurFiresStillBurn.com. (You can not download the documentary for individual or public use.) Also, a Synopsis is included below. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to a reply. AudreyGeyer at aol.com Visions 810-772-9628 Our Fires Still Burn: The Native American Experience This exciting and compelling one hour documentary invites viewers into the lives of contemporary Native American role models living in Michigan. It dispels the myth that American Indians have disappeared from the American horizon, and reveals how they continue to persist, heal from the past, confront the challenges of today, keep their culture alive, and make significant contributions to society. Their experiences will deeply touch both Natives and non-Natives and help build bridges of understanding, respect, and communication. The tragic history of Native Americans is considered by many to be our "American Holocaust." This can be seen in the history of the Boarding School Era, during which time Native children were forcibly removed from their homes and placed into boarding schools. Interviewees explain how this past trauma continues to negatively impact their emotional and physical health today and contribute to urgent social problems. To help heal this historical trauma, Native peoples are reclaiming their spiritual and cultural identity. The stories shared in this documentary are powerful, startling, despairing and inspiring. They reflect an American history fraught with the systematic destruction of a people. Yet, amidst the debris of suffering and trauma, there is resilience and a profound remembering and healing taking place today, which will also benefit the next Seven Generations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The responses are listed below. Debbie Johnson Saline District Library ---------------------------------------------------------- Hot spots are very popular (Rochester Hills) Our Children's Room checks out toys, puzzles, puppets, kits, etc. Adult collection checks out art prints, a microscope, some kind of battery meter, and that's what I can remember. We are looking toward creating a library of things in the future. Cookware, tools, etc. (Peter White Library) We?re starting a seed library at our branch in Yale. This will be our first year, but we?re looking forward to it. We have 11 branches in our system and another one will also be participating. They currently have a wonderful garden in back of their library as an outreach, and it?s been very successful in their community. (Yale Library) You might want to check with the Grosse Pointe Public Library. For years they loaned out tools. We have been considering doing non-traditional collections, too, so I'd be very interested in the responses you receive. I'm thinking cookie cutters? (Three Oaks Township Public Library) Ann Arbor has a huge non-traditional collection. We have home tools like the energy auditing devices, thermal leak detectors, etc. Art tools like spinning wheels, sewing machines, drawing tablets to used with computers, etc. Science tools like specimen kits for prehistoric animals, bugs, as well as ones for parts of the human body, plus microscopes, telescopes, and other things. Our music tools mostly consist of electronic and more unusual instruments as well as guitar pedals. Finally, we have an outdoor games collection with large format games such as giant jenga, giant connect four, giant chess, etc. (Ann Arbor District Library) We circulate nontraditional items in the youth and adult department. Here is a link to the unusual things that we circulate: http://www.highland.lib.mi.us/awesome.htm . So far, they are all circulating well. We have had a few pieces lost in the snap circuits but, thankfully, replacements can be purchased at a reasonable price. The Lego Read & Retell kits have had issues with pieces being lost or put back in the wrong kit. We do have to check them each time they come back to make sure pieces are there. (Highland Township Public Library) The adult department at Oxford Public Library circulates jigsaw puzzles which are very popular. These puzzles are funded completely by donations. We put the puzzles out one at a time on a ?puzzle table? where patrons can work on them (also very popular!). Once the puzzle is completed we can see if it?s missing pieces and if it?s in a condition to add to our collection. We?re going into our fourth year with this collection and have so many puzzles that we rotate the collection seasonally. We don?t count puzzle pieces at check-in and rely on our patrons to tell us if pieces are missing. Puzzles with pieces missing are discarded which keeps it a self-weeding collection. Another collection we have is cake pans. Not as popular but low cost (again mainly donations). We label and tag the cake pan instructions for check out. We initially included the search term ?random stuff? for the cake pans and eventually we would like to have a larger random stuff collection including lawn games and craft tools. The Charlevoix Public Library lends snowshoes. We have youth, men and women sizes. 10 pair available. They are checked out all the time there is snow on the ground. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Both of the libraries have decided to list this director position as one position with two libraries. Below I've posted instructions on how to apply and the job description. If out have any questions, please email. Thank you all for a wonderful almost 6 years! Director of Hopkins District and Dorr Township Libraries. Applications accepted until April 7th at 5pm. Please submit your cover letter, resume, and references to dorrhopsearch at gmail.com Exciting opportunity for an exceptional person! We are excited to begin our search for ... you! But first a little bit about us. The Dorr Township Library and the Hopkins District Library are separate libraries seeking a director together. Together we serve a diverse population of about 12,000 patrons in a rural to semi-urban area in picturesque northern Allegan County. The libraries have 9 part and full time employees in addition to their energetic director. We work to promote a culture of learning and excel at unique offerings to our communities. For example our programs have ranged from reading clubs combined with a craft to welding in the parking lot and we offer our patrons loanable Makerspace kits, binge boxes and much more on a combined budget of about $250,000. Both libraries are also actively working with our communities on various betterment projects. Now here's a little bit of what we are looking for from you. We seek a director who either has a Masters in Library Science or is nearly finished with one. Experience in public libraries is a plus but experience with giving great customer service is a must (think Disney). Creativity and problem solving is very important for us since budgets are tight and we aim to offer as much as we can for as little as possible. Please remember that these are rural areas, cows are plentiful, the smell in spring can be eye opening and you might be stuck in a tractor induced traffic jam on your way to or from work. Now for the attribute list: Required: -Masters in Library Science or nearly completed - Grant writing experience - Computer skills - Ability and desire to teach classes - Great communication skills (written and verbal) - Experience creating and maintaining a budget and preparing for and working with auditors - Skilled with: Excel, Word, Publisher, Powerpoint, Facebook - Basic website maintenance Preferred: - 3-5 years library experience - Knowledge of millage campaigns - Fundraising experience Natalie Bazan MA, MLIS Library Director Hopkins District Library Dorr Township Library 118 E.

You can use it in all your social media venues. You may remember #MiLibSnap from last year. This is a national initiative of library advocacy based on data. This year we have a slight twist. It's still about advocacy and it's still about data but we encourage you to take library numbers and compare them to figures of other activities in your community. Does your community plant a lot of flowers or trees? Drink (or make) a lot of beer or wine? Attend a lot of sporting events? Gather numbers for how many and compare them to library data such as door counts or program attendance or circulation that show your library is engaged with your community. Need numbers? Try State of Michigan websites, your local chamber of commerce, local research agencies such as colleges or universities. Get creative! Here are a couple of examples, feel free to borrow them: [NBA #MiLibSnap 2017 NFL Michiganders checked out 1.5 times more materials than the total number of NBA, NFL & NHL ticket sales in North America.] [#MiLibSnap 2017 In Ingham County last year, enough people attended library programs to more than fill the 75K seat Spartan Stadium.] Consider using action verbs in your posts such as: Serve, Answer, Engage, Link, Entertain, Teach, and Create. As you ready your comparisons, think about the distinct value that you provide better than anyone else in your community. Consider how your library is: * An excellent return on investment * Supports strong economic development and impact * Provides great employment support * Delivers provable early literacy development * Serves your community with ongoing lifelong support for formal education and homework help * Provides affordable access to community resources * Serves the whole community equitably * Supports cultural vitality * Is a recognized and valued leisure activities for a majority of Michiganders There are lots of free tools to help you with the graphics, from simple to sophisticated. Check out the list below for creating great visuals.

The survey can be completed in as few as two minutes. This survey will close on March 23, 2017, and results will be shared on the project website in Fall 2017. Over 1200 libraries have completed the survey, and your input is important in terms of understanding this programming area. Survey Link: https://uncg.qualtrics.com/jfe3/form/SV_eJ3QZdjTvMLVM1v This survey is part of the "Let?s Move Libraries? project. At the project website ? http://www.letsmovelibraries.org/ ? where you will find information and resources on movement-based programs in public libraries throughout North America. The goal of this project is to strengthen work already underway in public libraries that seeks to get communities up and moving throughout all stages of life. Please share this message with others.

In running my statistical reports in VERSO for January, I noticed under the statistical section usually reserved for MeLCat transactions a significantly abnormal "renewal" statistic for the month, and then traced it back to two dates: January 3rd (254 renewals in a collection normally at 0 for renewals) and January 22nd, a Sunday, (61 renewals in a collection normally at 0 for renewals and on a date we are closed). I'm trying to trace this problem back to figure out which help desk to contact and whether this is a local problem or a system problem. If you are a VERSO NCIP library on MeLCat and could just let me know yes or no if you have noticed a statistical anomaly (particularly on those two dates), I would really appreciate it.

You now have two short weeks to catch up. And thanks to all who have submitted proposals in the 1st round. You are encouraged to get more specific about your plans. Where will the remote units be sited and who will be served at each new hotspot? Your prior submissions are now open for modification and improvement. After we review the updated (and new) more location-specific proposals, we will invite the most promising ones to contact vendors for price quotes and plan feasibility. There have been some very strong proposals already, but the door remains open. For two more weeks. Please be sure describe how each remote location is expected to be used, by whom and when. Include any disadvantaged populations (low-income, low-education, disabled, immigrants, etc). "Successful proposals will: * Support access and inclusion to underserved populations. * Show creativity in thinking of new ways and locations to install remote library WiFi access points. * Form key collaborations among community stakeholders such as schools, museums, health clinics, community centers, post offices, shelters, or who?! * Demonstrate commitment to the project from proposal partners and supporters as well as to the overall learning and knowledge base we'll be creating together. * Integrate TVWS in to disaster preparedness planning. Winning proposals will be announced next month in April. Sub-awards distributed upon final acceptance of a project budget. All projects should be installed and operational by September. Use those summer months! Best Regards, Beyond the Walls Team ***************************************************************************************************** Tens of millions of people in the U.S. rely solely or in part on public libraries to access Internet. Libraries are crucial in connecting communities. With TV WhiteSpace technology people can connect beyond library walls. The "Beyond The Walls" Awards will provide five $15,000 grants to libraries for the most innovative proposals to use TV WhiteSpace (TVWS) technologies to enable new library hotspots in the service of their communities. TVWS uses the unused spectrum in the TV bands. It can deliver broadband to a hotspot miles away, even passing through trees, buildings or other obstructions.

Visitors may access the site in Spanish by simply clicking the link marked "Espa?ol" at the top of any page. DigitalLearn.org is a collection of self-directed tutorials for end-users to increase their digital literacy. Feedback from public library staff directed PLA to develop courses on the most basic skills, such as using a computer, navigating a web site, and searching. Modules are video-based with narration, 6 to 22 minutes long, written at the 4th grade reading level, and help learners practice skills like using a mouse and setting up passwords. Nearly 60,000 users complete 15,000 modules each year on DigitalLearn.org. DigitalLearn.org also features a community of practice to help digital literacy trainers, library staff who are interested in digital literacy training, and others share information. From 2014 to early 2016, PLA had over 10,000 registered users on the community of practice, with over 400 posts to share information and seek resources. DigitalLearn.org was created in 2013 with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It is just one tool the Public Library Association, a division of ALA, offers to help its members make their libraries digital literacy learning centers.

Apologies for the delay in the MeL Minute-you'll get 2 this week!?-I was immersed in 3 back-to-back conferences last week!?! Are you familiar with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)? If not, in a nutshell, it is a national digital library freely available to anyone with Internet access containing books, images, historic records and audiovisual materials. First talked about in the 1990s and with serious planning occurring in 2010, the DPLA officially launched in April 2013. Michigan's "service hub responsibilities are shared by the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, Western Michigan University, the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services and the Library of Michigan. Collections shared with DPLA cover topics including the history of the Motor City, historically significant American cookbooks, and Civil War diaries from the Midwest." So, what does this mean for you and your patrons? Plenty. It's collaboration on a grand scale that supports educational uses through sharing curated primary source sets, support of National History Day, Public Library Partnerships Project, and more. The Michigan content totals a little more than 40,000 items from the initial five institutions working on the project. This will grow as we move forward adding content and additional organizations to the Michigan Service Hub. When you have a chance, take a look at the DPLA site - you won't be disappointed. 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. ~Deb Deb Renee Biggs, MA AMLS Library Consultant & Michigan eLibrary Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Department of Education 702 W.

This is a question for libraries who use different patron types for juveniles and adults. Currently, our system is not set up to automatically convert a card on the holder's 18th birthday. We require that patrons update/verify their account information every 3 years; however, this means an account could go for 2 years and 364 days in the "wrong" patron type. We are considering setting cards to expire on 18th birthday (making sure we give patrons 30-60 day notice). We would then ask the new adult to fill out his/her own application to replace the one his/her parent or guardian originally signed. We are interested in knowing how other libraries handle new adults, particularly SirsiDynix libraries.

Today is a good day for engaged citizenship in Michigan. The Center for Michigan, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, is releasing the findings of our most recent public engagement campaign in a citizens' agenda, titled "Fractured trust: Lost faith in state government, and how to restore it." Will your library help us spread the word? You can order print copies for public display by contacting us at hzureich at thecenterformichigan.net. And we'd be delighted if you shared the electronic copy in your email newsletters and social media. You can also download a copy by visiting: http://bit.ly/CFMTrustReport. In 2016, the Center for Michigan led a statewide dialogue about public trust in state government. And in 125 statewide Community Conversations and large-sample polls, more than 5,000 diverse Michigan residents told us, loud and clear: State government is not living up to their expectations. Michigan residents do, however, identify several actions state leaders can take to improve public trust in state government, namely reform of the emergency manager and campaign finance systems. The report's major conclusions: LOW PUBLIC TRUST: The majority of Michigan residents said they had either "low" or "very low trust" of state government's ability to deliver on all five major areas we explored: 1) Oversight of K-12 and higher education; 2) Protection of public health; 3) Environmental protection; 4) Services for low-income residents; and 5) Fostering economic growth. URGENT MANDATE TO IMPROVE: More than 80 percent of all participants said it was either "important" or "crucial" for state government to improve in these five service areas. Improvement of public education is a particular public priority, with the largest percentage of poll and conversation participants choosing it as the policy area most in need of attention. FIX THE EMERGENCY MANAGER SYSTEM: Sixty-five percent of all participants have "low" or "very low" trust in the state emergency manager system to effectively balance the competing needs to solve local financial crises, deliver basic public services, and provide local and representative government. To improve trust, participants suggest providing more checks and balances in the law so that decision making is balanced between state-appointed emergency managers and locally elected officials. PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY IN CAMPAIGN FINANCE: Eight in ten Michigan residents reported "low" or "very low" trust in the campaign finance system's ability to balance free speech rights to contribute to candidates with the need to protect elections from undue influence by special interest groups. The most popular solution to improve trust in the campaign finance system is to strengthen transparency and reporting requirements to provide better public information about who donates to our state leaders. OTHERWISE, A LACK OF PUBLIC CONSENSUS: The Center tested a range of other options to improve state government accountability, such as reforming term limits and reforming the once-each-decade process for drawing legislative districts. No such reform proposal received consistent majority support across both Community Conversations and polls. In our Community Conversations, the Center for Michigan provides opportunities for Michigan residents to learn about and discuss important public issues in thoughtful ways. The Center then serves as a bullhorn for the Michigan public, amplifying the citizens' agenda to our state's leaders. You can read Bridge Magazine's in-depth analysis of the top priorities of this report at http://bridgemi.com/. Bridge Magazine is the Center for Michigan's online publication, which provides free, in-depth, nonpartisan reporting about the issues most important to our state.

Thank you for your help in sharing this report with your community. Please contact the Center with any questions about this citizens' agenda and its findings. I've attached our official release for your consideration.

Whole Person Librarianship: Fostering Empathy in Challenging Times Tuesday, March 28, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/whole-person-librarianship.html Libraries are among the few public spaces that feel safe and welcoming to everyone in our current political landscape. As librarians striving to provide equitable service, we are challenged to meet the needs of patrons whose life experiences are markedly different from our own. To address these challenges, we have much to learn much from social workers, who are trained to approach their clients with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries. Whole Person Librarianship draws from social work concepts to help librarians become more confident in learning from, interacting with, and serving diverse patrons. Learn basic ideas to build your empathy skills, such as cultural humility and person-in-environment, to apply right away to your library practice, as well as where to find more in-depth information and support. Presented by: Sara Zettervall, Founder, Whole Person Librarianship, and Adult Services Librarian, Hennepin County Library (MN); and Mary Nienow, PhD Candidate in Social Work, and beginning in August 2017, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (WI) Civility Goes Viral: A New Approach for a New Era Tuesday, April 18, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/civility-goes-viral.html To "choose civility" means to celebrate diversity and choose respect, compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness when interacting with others. Civility is the healing power we need to counteract the divisive, fragmented forces that seem to be undermining our social fabric. Since 2006, Howard County Library System (MD) has been leading the way toward community connectedness with their Choose Civility initiative. They, along with three library systems across the country, invite you to join the movement to nurture civility in your own community. Learn how kindness creates communities, how to challenge stereotypes effectively, and cultivate random acts of civility. Find opportunities to implement Choose Civility to enhance internal and external customer service, develop partnerships and community support, and create a more connected community of people who will #choose2Bkind. Let?s see civility go viral in 2017. Presented by: Valerie Gross, President & CEO, Howard County Library System; Christie Lassen, Director of Public Relations, Howard County Library System; and Sonya Durney, Business and Government Team Leader, Portland (ME) Public Library Build Your Political Literacy Skills for Advocacy Tuesday, April 25, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/build-your-political-literacy-skills-for-advocacy.html Advocacy efforts to sustain funding for your library are crucial in the best of times. Challenging times call for new ways to engage and activate advocates for your library. Level up your political savviness by taking lessons from successful campaigns. Whether or not you have a library ballot measure on the horizon, learn how to put these proven techniques to work for your library funding requests. Explore innovative options to energize, focus and build your skills and confidence. You?ll come away with actionable tips and tools to market your library to garner a wide base of support from your community constituents. This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.

In-Reply-To: <3582979997.4@informz.net> References: <3582979997.4@informz.net> Message-ID: [ALA Membership] Dear ALA member, The time is NOW! If you?re a librarian, a library worker, anyone who cares about libraries, does business with a library, or if you depend on your library for accurate information, then your Congressperson needs to hear from you ? and at least five more people that you mobilize ? TODAY! At least $210 million in federal library funding is on the budget-cutter?s chopping block. Our champions in Congress need your help to save it and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the agency that distributes most of those funds to every state in the country. Everything you need is at ALA?s Legislative Action Center now. As detailed in the ALA Washington Office blog, the President of the United States effectively proposed eliminating all federal library funding and closing IMLS ? the small, respected agency that administers $183 million of those funds through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). He also asked Congress to wipe out $27 million for Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL), which school libraries use to buy books and other materials for the nation?s poorest children. But our library champions in Congress have mobilized to fight back and they need your help to succeed. Today, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ3) wrote to every Member of the House of Representatives asking them to support LSTA, and Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX30), Don Young (R-AK), and Jim McGovern (D-MA2) circulated a similar letter asking support for Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL). Both letters urge their House colleagues to sign letters to the Appropriations Committee supporting library funding. The first so-called ?Dear Appropriator? letter asks the Committee to fully fund LSTA in FY 2018 and the second does the same for IAL. We know from many past funding fights that these Representatives? requests of their colleagues simply will not be enough. Members of the House need to hear from their constituents before the April 3rd deadline. Please call your Representative and ask them to sign both the LSTA and the IAL ?Dear Appropriator? letters our champions have circulated, otherwise the powerful Appropriations Committees will not make LSTA and IAL a priority, dramatically increasing the odds that they will be cut or eliminated next year. ALA?s Legislative Action Center has everything you ? and five of your friends, patrons, relatives, employees and customers ? need to identify your Member of Congress and to tell him or her by email, tweet or phone to sign the LSTA and IAL ?Dear Appropriator? letters to protect those critical programs in the FY 2018 federal budget. We MUST save federal library funding and IMLS! If not you and your fellow library lovers, who? If not right now, when? Please, act right now! To read my full statement about the President?s draconian budget proposals, please visit ALA's website.

I've looked it over and it seems legit, but I wanted to send this out and see if anyone else has heard from him? Or heard about him? Please see the message he sent me below: "My name is Ron and I'm a college professor who has created a resource that would be very helpful for teenagers who visit the library website (or the library itself). It's focused specifically on helping teenagers find jobs and it's 100% free to use. It has very useful information including work permit information, labor laws, jobs for teens by city/state, non-traditional job ideas, and more. You can find it here: www.JobsForTeensHQ.com. My question to you is, would you be willing to include this as a resource on the library website? I'm sure you're going to want to look over it before you consider including it, so this page is a great place to start the vetting process and I also made a quick video that can help . Simply put, it's the best resource out there to help teenagers find jobs and we're extremely excited about it. Now we just need to get the word out and I was thinking your library might be a good place to start.

The reason I am reaching out to you is that our advisory board is hoping to find other Michigan activists, esp. trying to get a more diverse round-up. While I know all librarians are book advocates, we're hoping to find folks that go above and beyond to touch the lives of kids. And we'd especially like to connect with more women activists and people of color. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Every year, a fast-talking gentleman would come in the library with a small stack of books that had been "donated" by local businesses to our library, as well as the school library. He would provide me with thank you notes to send to the local businesses (wait, what?). This bothered me because I had never requested the books, but the situation was giving the appearance that we had. I disliked the fact that his company was benefiting from this situation at the expense of our local businesses too. For the last two years, I just let it go because I'm busy. This year, I decided to reach out to the school library and find out what their experience was with Ambassador Books. The school librarian pretty much had the same experience as I did, and the donated books usually didn't get read, sat on a shelf, etc. I wondered how much this company was profiting from our local businesses, so I decided to reach out. I found out that four local businesses were donating between $300-$600 annually. I explained the situation to the business owner and suggested that they forgo donating to Ambassador Books, and donating the money directly to the school for new books of the librarians choosing. I received a mixed response. Business owners that had been giving for years were generally glad to know the situation, they don't want to waste their money, but one was upset that we didn't appreciate their gift. THANK YOU, AMBASSADOR BOOKS... I just wondered what other libraries thought of this odd situation? Also, here's a link about the company. http://nash-news.com/uncategorized/books-for-school-children-or-a-scam-for-area-businesses/ Sincerely, Julie Censke Colon Township Library (269) 432-3958 ph.

Are you getting ready? Message-ID: Greetings, The Library of Michigan would like to announce the second all-state library advocacy campaign known as Library Snapshot Day to take place May 22-26, 2017 with the hashtag #MiLibSnap. You can use it in all your social media venues. You may remember #MiLibSnap from last year. This is a national ALA initiative of library advocacy based on data. This year we have a slight twist. It's still about advocacy and it's still about data but we encourage you to take library numbers and compare them to figures of other activities in your community. Does your community plant a lot of flowers or trees? Drink (or make) a lot of beer or wine? Attend a lot of sporting events? Gather numbers for how many and compare them to library data such as door counts or program attendance or circulation that show your library is engaged with your community. Need library numbers? The numbers you provide in your state aid report are a great place to start. If you're looking for a broader, state-wide library number, feel free to contact Library Data Coordinator Joe Hamlin at hamlinj2 at michigan.gov. Need community numbers? Try State of Michigan websites, your local chamber of commerce, or local research agencies such as colleges, universities or extension offices. Get creative! Here are a couple of examples, feel free to borrow them: [NBA #MiLibSnap 2017 NFL Michiganders checked out 1.5 times more materials than the total number of NBA, NFL & NHL ticket sales in North America.] [#MiLibSnap 2017 In Ingham County last year, enough people attended library programs to more than fill the 75K seat Spartan Stadium.] Consider using action verbs in your posts such as: Serve, Answer, Engage, Link, Entertain, Teach, and Create. As you ready your comparisons, think about the distinct value that you provide better than anyone else in your community. Consider how your library is: * An excellent return on investment * Supports strong economic development and impact * Provides great employment support * Delivers provable early literacy development * Serves your community with ongoing lifelong support for formal education and homework help * Provides affordable access to community resources * Serves the whole community equitably * Supports cultural vitality * Is a recognized and valued leisure activity for a majority of Michiganders There are lots of free tools to help you with the graphics, from simple to sophisticated. Check out the list below for creating great visuals. Word cloud tools: * Wordle * Tagul * Word It Out * PowerPoint add-in Infographic tools: * Piktochart * Venngage * Easel.ly Data visualization tools: * Gapminder * Tableau * Google Public Data * Infogr.am Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

The local school had been supporting this and then stopped because of lack of use of the books and the misleading of the local businesses. We took it on because of the sales ability of the man,( Steve Bujaki), and he told me that the businesses were behind it. After talking to some of the business owners, I found out he was telling them that the library was in favor of the program. Four years ago I told the salesman that I didn't want to continue the program and to please stop. He said that he had already been sponsored by the local businesses and that the books were good for two years. I told him we would distribute the books for the next two years but we weren't going to continue after that. I let the businesses know that it felt shady to me and that we were not going to renew. He came back in the fall of 2015 and solicited other businesses and didn't come and speak to me. A box of books was delivered to us a few months later, and I refused the shipment. I called the company and had a conversation with David Moore, vice-president. Ambassador did not authorize this type of salesmanship and were very happy that I had notified them. ( At least that was the story that I was given.) I let them know that I was very unhappy that our local businesses had been misled and it needed to be addressed. The gentleman I spoke to said he would make sure the businesses were notified and compensated. I haven't had any contact since, and haven't heard of the man being in the area again. Hope this helps in some small way. Jane French Les Cheneaux Community Library - zv366 an affiliate of Superior District Library P.O.

Every year, a fast-talking gentleman would come in the library with a small stack of books that had been "donated" by local businesses to our library, as well as the school library. He would provide me with thank you notes to send to the local businesses (wait, what?). This bothered me because I had never requested the books, but the situation was giving the appearance that we had. I disliked the fact that his company was benefiting from this situation at the expense of our local businesses too. For the last two years, I just let it go because I'm busy. This year, I decided to reach out to the school library and find out what their experience was with Ambassador Books. The school librarian pretty much had the same experience as I did, and the donated books usually didn't get read, sat on a shelf, etc. I wondered how much this company was profiting from our local businesses, so I decided to reach out. I found out that four local businesses were donating between $300-$600 annually. I explained the situation to the business owner and suggested that they forgo donating to Ambassador Books, and donating the money directly to the school for new books of the librarians choosing. I received a mixed response. Business owners that had been giving for years were generally glad to know the situation, they don't want to waste their money, but one was upset that we didn't appreciate their gift. THANK YOU, AMBASSADOR BOOKS. I just wondered what other libraries thought of this odd situation? Also, here's a link about the company. http://nash-news.com/uncategorized/books-for-school-children-or-a-scam-for-a rea-businesses/ Sincerely, Julie Censke Colon Township Library (269) 432-3958 ph.

Teen Suicide Prevention: How to Listen, Assess, and Guide Teens in their Time of Need A California State Library Webinar Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM Presenters: Michelle Carlson MPH, Executive Director, Teen Line Cheryl Eskin MFT, Program Director, Teen Line Jeremy Wilson MPP, Project Coordinator, CSL Mental Health Initiative Deborah Takahashi MLS, Pasadena Public Library Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 10-24 year olds in the United States. More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease, COMBINED. Since 4 out of 5 teens who attempt suicide give warning signs, it can be vital to know what to look for and what to do or say. With the influx of social media and extreme pressure to succeed, teens are struggling more than ever. As part of the 2016-2017 California State Library (CSL) Mental Health Initiative, library staff, teens, and youth advocates are invited to learn more about teen suicide prevention with Michelle Carlson and Cheryl Eskin from Teen Line (www.teenlineonline.org), a teen-to-teen hotline that provides education and support for teens. In this webinar, participants will: * Learn the warning signs of suicide * Dispel myths such as talking about suicide makes someone more likely to attempt suicide * Explore how to talk to teens who may be suicidal and guide them towards help and hope This webinar will be of interest to: anyone who works with teens and for teens who want to learn how to advocate for themselves and those they care about.

There is a saying that "good things come to those who wait." Indeed, I have been recruiting MRHM/DUS since the inception of statewide MAP. That was five years ago. The note from the director of MRHM/DUS to me started off with "Jim, you've worn me down!" In my reply to him I noted as to how the occasional train theme related posts that we make to the MAP Facebook page, which by the way surpassed 4,000 likes this week, are always among our most popular topics when it comes to number of shares https://www.facebook.com/MIActivityPass/ He agreed that for museums such as his which do not charge an admission fee, MAP represents a good source of additional, free publicity. Please keep this in mind when you are recruiting MAP prospects in your service territory :) Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

We used grant money to purchase several kits, which were introduced in the workshops and then made available for sign-out. The kits were not all that popular. Also, it was extremely difficult to insure that the numerous pieces were still there upon return. In our latest venture (for grades 5 and up) the IEEE representatives obtained a generous grant and we were able to assemble customized electronic kits for use during the class. Every kid got their own plastic case full of tools and supplies. The kits were signed out to them for the duration of the class. We will soon offer another program that will build on this one, and the kits will be expanded to include a simple computer circuit board and other supplies. Using the kits as part of a class worked out very well. The basic set cost just under $50. We provided a detailed list of components in case any of the families wished to purchase one to keep.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has been identified as an agency the administration has targeted for elimination. The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), administered by IMLS, provides critically important funding for our nation's libraries. LSTA's Grants to States is the largest grant program run by IMLS. These appropriations are distributed directly to each state and territory through a population-based formula. Each state can identify the most appropriate use of these funds for library services and activities to meet their state's diverse needs. The return on investment for this program is substantial and is enhanced by each state's matching contributions. Many of the innovations taking place in America's libraries today are a direct result of this program and the funding it provides. As you know, total elimination of IMLS as proposed in the President's budget would have a devastating impact on library service across Michigan. The Library of Michigan directed LSTA funds touch every community across the state. For instance, LSTA funds pay for all costs associated with MeLCat the statewide resource sharing program providing nearly one million loans to library patrons per year as well as the majority of the Michigan eLibrary's (MeL) 40 databases and eBook content. Both programs have become irreplaceable for libraries and schools of all types and sizes. Other cuts would include: * Public libraries would not receive summer reading materials that provide programming assistance for children's literacy. * Library related data collected by the Library of Michigan availability would be minimal. * Consulting and support for public libraries to file for e-rate would be curtailed or end. * State Library support for WebJunction library staff training would end. * Grants to support innovative initiatives in areas would no longer exist and possible new sub-grant programs would not be created. * Leadership programs such as the Harwood community innovator program would be eliminated. * Providing future funds to support a Michigan service hub for the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and increase the number of digital records from Michigan libraries, archives and historical societies added to DPLA would be significantly reduced or terminated. * Support for Ploud technology for small and rural libraries would be curtailed or eliminated. * Materials and training supporting the early literacy efforts with Every Child Ready to Read would cease. * The statewide membership to United for Libraries providing resources and training for library trustees would be canceled. * Sponsorship funds for continuing education to support events provided by MLA, FOML, MCLS and MI-ALA would be eliminated. * Continuing education events such as the Rural and Small Libraries Conference and others would end or be dramatically curtailed. * Funds to support the Michigan Activity Pass would be eliminated. * The Michigan Reads! program targeting emerging readers statewide would need to be curtailed or eliminated. The loss of federal funds also could create a loss of incentive for state appropriations, as our federal allocation depends upon a maintenance of effort in state appropriations. Each year the Library of Michigan receives approximately $4.3 million of LSTA funds from IMLS. If these LSTA dollars no longer were available in Michigan, the negative impact would be far-reaching. Attached to this message is the "Overview of LSTA Funds in Michigan" document that spells out in more detail how LSTA funds are used in Michigan. If you would like information about the amount of LSTA grant funding your library has received in recent years, please contact Shannon White (whites29 at michigan.gov) or Karren Reish (reishk at michigan.gov) at the Library of Michigan. As a federal government agency, IMLS cannot engage in any form of advocacy. However, as the budget moves through the legislative process, they will continue to actively educate about the important role of IMLS and LSTA in serving our nation's communities. I encourage you to sign up through the ALA Action Center to receive advocacy alerts, background information, and talking points about this important issue. Ongoing funding and policy updates from the ALA Washington Office also are available at the District Dispatch blog. Sincerely, Randy _______________________________________________________________ Randy Riley State Librarian Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo Street P.O. Box 30007 Lansing, MI 4909-7507 (517) 373-5860 rileyr1 at michigan.gov _______________________________________________________________________________ Overview of LSTA Funds in Michigan The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) provides funds through the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) grants to states program. The Michigan Department of Education, Library of Michigan, uses the funds to improve library services to residents and increase the capacity of Michigan libraries to serve their users. The state LSTA Five-Year Plan and reports are online at www.michigan.gov/lsta. How are LSTA funds used? Michigan uses LSTA funds primarily for statewide programs that benefit public, school, academic and special libraries users and Michigan residents directly. The federal FY 2015 allotment was $4,350,678. The premier LSTA funded program is the Michigan eLibrary (MeL), a virtual library available at anytime, anywhere to all Michigan residents through their local library or www.mel.org. The LSTA funds provide a majority of or total support for the Michigan eLibrary, MeL, early literacy programs, continuing education programs and overall LSTA program evaluation. From year to year, the primary funding for these programs is LSTA funding, at the approximate percentages. ? Michigan eLibrary (MeL) - 70% of costs are LSTA ? Technology programs - 100% of costs are LSTA ? Early literacy programs - 82% of costs are LSTA ? Continuing education - 92% of costs are LSTA Michigan eLibrary (MeL) ? Databases - Hundreds of thousands of subscription magazine and newspaper articles, reference book articles, images, eBooks, historical documents, and other full-text materials are available through the resources provided by LSTA funds in MeL. Content ranges from PreK-12 levels to professional and research levels in science, medicine, education, technology, humanities, arts, social sciences, law and genealogy. Additional state funds also support significant business and early literacy resources. ? MeLCat - The statewide library catalog and resource-sharing network. Users can search the catalog from www.MeL.org/melcat or directly from their participating local library catalog. Michigan residents are using MeLCat to easily identify and request convenient, quick and free delivery of materials from other participating Michigan libraries to their own library for pick up. Nearly 1,000,000 items were loaned in 2016. ? eBooks - A collection of thousands of non-fiction and reference electronic books for academics and professionals. Topics include science, computers, business, education and humanities among others. ? Gateways - A balanced collection of quality subscription eResources and librarian selected Internet sites that are Michigan-related or especially useful to Michigan residents. MeL's Business Gateway, which is newly redesigned, supports economic development and small businesses. Gateways also support children, teens and teachers and point to job, health, legal, literacy, historical and government information. ? Tests, Tutorials & Workforce Development Resources - A comprehensive, interactive resource, LearnATest with occupational, licensing and academic practice tests and tutorials for K-16 and job seekers, from the GED to the GRE. Early Literacy The Library of Michigan uses LSTA funds to support early literacy resources for library staff, educators and caregivers. Programs funded with LSTA dollars include: ? Collaborative Summer Library Program - Access by Michigan public libraries to high-quality, resource-filled summer reading manuals saves libraries both staff time and money for annual programming to help prevent the summer reading slide. In 2016, estimated participation was over 200,000 people. ? Michigan Reads! - The program focuses on the role of adults in sharing reading experiences with children from birth through school age to support young children's developing literacy skills. The program has a wide focus, including public libraries, all schools with a K-2 classroom, Head Start programs and Great Start Readiness programs. Approximately 600,000 students and young children in Michigan are reached each year. ? Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) - A national research based program to train librarians on how to engage parents and caregivers in the elements of early literacy. The program focuses on teaching library staff to use these basics in children's program and assist parents in learning to provide the same support to their children at home. More than 3/4 of Michigan's public libraries received training materials and 417 library staff attended training. Technology ? Ploud - Michigan participates in a nation-wide collaborative to provide high quality, easy to use web sites for public libraries, giving their communities online access to statewide resources. At the end of state FY 2016 the project served 97 small and rural communities. ? E-rate training and support - Michigan libraries have training and assistance for E-rate, the federal program that provides for reduced cost Internet and telecommunications connectivity. In 2016, the training assisted libraries in requesting $4,000,000, a 27% increase over the previous year. ? Counting Opinions - Michigan libraries use this software to provide statistical information to the Library of Michigan and it then provides libraries the ability to develop reports on their services compare their services and costs to other community libraries and make informed planning decisions. Continuing Education for Librarians and Trustees LSTA funds sponsored workshops and training and online continuing education resources for librarians and trustees throughout the state, giving library staff the opportunity to learn new techniques and methods to reach underserved residents and improve services to their communities. ?

Congress funds the Library Services & Technology Act. To receive LSTA funds, the State of Michigan must both match the federal funds and maintain a level of effort through state or private funds. States must meet the matching requirement to receive the allotment. Maintenance of effort is determined by a three-year average of state funds. These funds must be spent to support the purposes of the LSTA Act. In Michigan, that funding is primarily State Aid to Public Libraries. What is the impact on library users in Michigan? LSTA funding has a profound impact on improving outcomes in Michigan for students, professionals and lifelong learners as the comments the Library of Michigan receives attest to. "I wanted to thank you for your webinar, "Early Literacy Tips For Storytimes - Preschoolers" I am a new Library Board Member...Your webinar was well produced, entertaining and very informative. Your rich content and expert presentation skills allowed me insights I would otherwise not have enjoyed. I will be sharing it with others." "I greatly appreciate how MeL allows library patrons such as myself to gain access to other collections across the state. MeL allows me to access, through my local library ... older books (economics, fiction, etc.) which would be otherwise unavailable. What a great way for libraries to maximize the use of their collections!" "Friends - I am now working on my doctorate at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, while living in ...

Our champions in Congress need your help to save it and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Everything you need is at ALA's Legislative Action Center now! You can also visit the District Dispatch for more context. Action is needed by April 3. Eliminating the IMLS, and the LSTA program, would have devastating impact on statewide library services that are provided by the Library of Michigan. Michigan receives approximately $4.3 million per year in IMLS funding. IMLS/LSTA funds and mandated state matching funds support the Michigan eLibrary (MeL) including databases, eBooks and MeLCat, the statewide library catalog and resource-sharing network. Other programs supported by LSTA funding including early literacy resources and continuing education for librarians such as the Rural Libraries Conference. As detailed in the ALA Washington Office blog, the President of the United States effectively proposed eliminating all federal library funding and closing IMLS - the small, respected agency that administers $183 million of those funds through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). He also asked Congress to wipe out $27 million for Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL), which school libraries use to buy books and other materials for the nation's poorest children. But our library champions in Congress have mobilized to fight back and they need your help to succeed. Members of the U.S. House need to hear from their constituents before the April 3 deadline. Please e-mail or call your Representative in Washington today and ask them to sign both the LSTA and the IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters our champions have circulated, otherwise the powerful Appropriations Committees will not make LSTA and IAL a priority, dramatically increasing the odds that they will be cut or eliminated next year. ALA's Legislative Action Center has everything you - and five of your friends, patrons, relatives, employees and patrons - need to identify your Member of Congress and to tell him or her by email, tweet or phone to sign the LSTA and IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters to protect those critical programs in the FY 2018 federal budget. Send an email to your Representatives in Washington. Make a phone call - the system provides a script and the number. This database shows which representatives signed on last year FY17, those that have signed up already for FY18, and those who have not. Check out this handy database.

The Michigan eLibrary would like to capitalize on the loyal following you have developed by encouraging all Michigan libraries to include current links to MeL.org and its various components on your site. Recently, a quick survey of public libraries found that libraries' linkage to MeL runs the gamut from none at all, to full identification of MeL, MeLCat, MeL eResources, Michigana, Help, and About on the library's site. We hope that you can integrate some if not all of the MeL.org elements on your library's website. We thank you and are sure your patrons will too. Here are a few suggestions: * When linking to specific MeL.org eResources (databases), feel free to use the icon found in the alphabetic list of databases. These are custom designed for MeL and are freely available for you to right click with your mouse and save to your computer to use on your own site. * Remember to use the Geo-Ip address url for the eResource. These are found by clicking on "More" in the resource description. Using any other url will prevent your users from freely and directly accessing MeL eResources. * Although our selection of eResources hasn't changed in the past year, make sure you are linking to what is currently available through the MeL subscriptions. The alphabetic list found under Databases on MeL.org is accurate. * If you link to the MeLCat catalog (new or classic version) label it as MeLCat, not MeL 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. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

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. 2. 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." 3. 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. And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well.

The Belleville Area District Library will be hosting its first ever Local Author Fair on Saturday, May 20. Selected authors will have the chance to sell and sign their books, and meet and greet the local community. Authors of all genres, for all audiences, fiction and nonfiction, traditional or self-published are all welcome. The only qualifications necessary are that the author be local to Southeast Michigan, and have physical copies of a book to sell during the fair. Applications are available now; I've attached a copy to this email. (If you're reading the digest version of Michlib-l and can't see attachments, you can find a PDF copy of the application on our website. Just click the slider banner advertising the author fair.) We'll accept as many authors as we can, but due to limited space, acceptance is not guaranteed. Applications are due April 14. If possible, please distribute to any writers' groups, or pass the word on to any local authors you know who may be interested.

FAX MACHINE SUMMARY March 31, 2017 We found out that our copier has fax capabilities and have enabled that feature. It allowed us to discontinue that pots line that the previous machine utilized and to decrease annual costs for faxing. I would be happy to answer any questions that you have if this is something you are interested in for your facility. I hope you find the right fit for your community. We have found that it is faster for submission. Part of our reason for the change was due to the high demand for the service. We are one of only two places in town that offer faxing. Houghton Lake PL Our copier is our fax machine. We also have the Envisionware Library Document Station which faxes and scans to email or thumb drive for patron use. We do like the Envisionware Doc Station, which faxes and scans. Not cheap, I believe we spent about $7,000. But it is extremely easy - intuitive - for patrons to use. Commerce Township PL We use the ScanFax24 service ? they sent us a machine and it is completely self-service. We didn?t pay anything for the machine and get a little bit of revenue back (nothing significant). We went that route in order to ease the burden on staff while still providing a faxing service. My staff does need to occasionally assist ? it depends on the level of comfort the patron has with technology. But, it is still less staff time than or old system (which was a fax machine in the back and staff had to go back there and run things through for people, stand there until it went through, and accept the money). Another benefit is confirmations are through Fax24. I don?t think we pay for each use ? if I remember correctly, it runs through Fax24?s phone service so we don?t pay anything. Instead, they pay us a bit. Flat River PL Dexter does about 2-3 faxes per day for the public. We have a Brother Intellifax 2840 - staff reports no problems and it's easy to use. It has been in service for 2-3 years. It is just a fax machine and not connected to any pay services (coin-op, credit card, etc.) Patrons pay at the circ desk and then show the receipt to the ref staff. We can also fax through our office copier, but that's a whole other deal. We don't make that available to the public, but it could be done and would be faster. The office macine has a document feeder and better scanner whereas the Brother is more like a standard desktop fax. We just got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OG5W3M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 MCD Library Our Brother Intellifax 2820 has lasted for years for our small branch (50 faxes per month approx) Quincy Branch Lib Patty Patty Braden Library Director Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 942-7589 www.romulus.lib.mi.us Serving Romulus and Huron Township ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Braden" To: michlib-l at mcls.org Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2017 5:22:47 PM Subject: [Michlib-l] Fax machine recommendations We are a medium size library and are interested in replacing our fax machine.

Krug Memorial Fund. Each year FTRF distributes grants to non-profits to support activities that raise awareness of intellectual freedom and censorship issues during the annual Banned Books Weeks celebration (Sept. 24 - 30, 2017). Libraries, schools, universities and community organizations are encouraged to apply. Grants are awarded at two levels: $1,000 and $2,500. The deadline to apply is May 12, 2017. Banned Books Week Grants provide a wide variety of groups with a way to use creativity and fun to shed light on seldom discussed topics. To see examples of the organizations and projects that past recipients have created, and to apply, please visit the grants page of the FTRF website http://www.ftrf.org/?page=Krug_BBW . To be eligible for a grant, organizations must not have been a recipient of an FTRF grant within the past five years. Grantees also receive an ALA 2017 Banned Books Week Promo-Kit, as well as wide promotion and recognition through FTRF. FTRF Founder Judith F. Krug was a fierce proponent of education and intellectual freedom. During Krug's lengthy career, she worked non-stop to prevent censorship and protect First Amendment rights. Librarians and intellectual freedom advocates have an opportunity to continue this work and stand up for the First Amendment by providing innovative and educational programming to highlight Banned Books Week. Visit the Freedom to Read Foundation website http://www.ftrf.org/ to learn more about past projects or to apply.
