More than 530 Michigan elementary, middle and high school students-a record-setting number-took part in this year's Michigan History Day, which is an educational program of the Historical Society of Michigan.

Click here to download a PDF with the names of the winners, what school they are from and the awards they won. "We were very impressed with this year's projects," said Amy Bradfield, Michigan History Day state coordinator. "The students took this year's theme-Taking a Stand in History-to heart and created some very innovative and impassioned entries in all five of our categories-performances, exhibits, papers, websites and documentaries." Michigan History Day (National History Day in Michigan) offers a fascinating opportunity to move beyond routine learning. Based on the annual theme, students choose to explore and research a local, national or international historical topic. They then present their work through the disciplines of writing, art, literature, music, drama and/or visual communications. Lead sponsors of Michigan History Day 2017 are Meijer, Amway and Bay City Public Schools. # # # Editor's Note: For high-resolution photos of the individual winners, please contact the Historical Society of Michigan at hsm at hsmichigan.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This Month's Wisdom... "Experts say when trying to determine if a child is ready, one should not just consider whether or not he or she has mastered specific academic skills. Instead, his or her readiness to learn should be considered. " ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Family Engagement & Kindergarten Readiness [mom and daughter]Family Engagement is a hot topic in library land. The Public Library Association (ALA) began emphasizing family engagement in 2015, and created a task force charged with helping public libraries learn about and implement successful family engagement practices. PLA defines family engagement as "respectful partnerships that offer the information, guidance, and opportunities for families to be active in their children's learning and development." Recently PLA released the report "Ideabook: Libraries for Families." The Every Child Ready to Read Project which supports parents and children by encouraging them to engage in early literacy practices creates an atmosphere which engages families. So, by using ECRR in storytimes or in trainings, you are actually supporting this family engagement movement. PLA's research points to the following features as successful family engagement. 1. Family engagement is about building relationships with families. It gives families an opportunity to design how they would like to promote their children's learning and development. 2. Family engagement builds on family strengths. This means that families can learn from librarians and librarians can learn from families. 3. Family engagement is not a one-size-fits-all process. 4. Family engagement invites meaningful participation. It is not about teaching, but about creating family interactions through programs and services. 5. Family engagement is systemic. Librarians need to reach, serve, and involve families as partners in children's lifelong learning, and community partnerships are essential. It is an easy connection to recognize that families and early childhood educators play an important role in helping to prepare children for their entry into kindergarten. Kindergarten readiness is another hot topic, and librarians can help play a role here also. There are many charts or indicators of what constitutes kindergarten readiness and many states have their own standards. Here are some general considerations of what parents can do which is issued by the Mayo Clinic: * Keep your child healthy * Develop routines * Encourage the development of basic skills * Read, rhyme and play games with your child * Expose your child to learning experiences * Encourage socialization * Talk about kindergarten Two documents on kindergarten readiness that are particularly important to consider in the state of Michigan are: 1. Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy Prekindergarten and 2. Early childhood Standards of Quality for Prekindergarten. I will delve into both these topics, Family Engagement and Kindergarten Readiness, in an upcoming webinar to be hosted by the Library of Michigan on Thursday, May 11 at 2:00 p.m. I hope you will consider registering for this webinar. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Dinosaurs cover]Here are a few new song picture books - read them, sing them, do both! We Are the Dinosaurs. Laurie Berkner. Simon & Schuster, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-4814-6463-5. $17.99. Who does not love this song by the famous children's musical artist? Recorded on several of her albums, including Whaddaya Think of That and The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band, after reading the book, you need to share it a second time singing it and having the children stand up and march along. There are many animal asides added to each double page spread, which you will need to ignore when sharing in a group. Those will be fine for one-on-one reading or browsing. This is another great choice for a dinosaur storytime. If you can handle two dinosaur song picture books in one storytime, add Groovy Joe Ice Cream and Dinosaurs by Eric Litwin. ISBN: 978-0545883788 Old MacDonald's Things That Go. Jane Clarke. Nosy Crow, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-9326-8. $15.99. This Old MacDonald just loves things that go, and he rides them one-by-one. Each double-page spread introduces children to a different type of vehicle, such as a tractor, combine harvester, digger, bike, truck, bus, train, plane and boat. The familiar refrain E-I-E-I-O is replaced with "He loved things that go." Farm animals ride alongside Old MacDonald in vehicles of their own. Definitely a possible storytime pick, this would be fun to compare to Old MacDonald Had a Truck, published in 2016. ISBN: 978-1-45213-260-0. [Macdonald cover] [Owl cover] The Owl and the Pussy-cat. Edward Lear & Charlotte Voake. Candlewick, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-9080-9. $16.99. The well-known poem by Edward Lear is illustrated here by a New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year winner. The pen and ink and watercolor illustrations should be appealing to young children. Will children enjoy this tale written in the 1800's? Like nursery rhymes, children will benefit from being exposed to the unusual vocabulary such as runcible spoons, mince, quince and Bong-trees. Most storytellers will just read this, but the tune to sing it to can be found on YouTube, such as the one by Oxbridge Baby. ________________________________ New Websites of the Month ________________________________ [Reading Rockets]Reading Rockets has some wonderful articles related to whether a child is ready for kindergarten, what skills should be expected during kindergarten, and reading tips for kindergarten parents. Here are four of my favorite articles that I like to recommend to parents of children ready to enter kindergarten. 1. Is My Child Ready for Kindergarten? "Kindergarten is where most children learn to read and write. Though some kids can do this before entering kindergarten, it is not required or expected. Being ready for kindergarten means having well-developed preschool skills, and being academically, socially, and physically ready for the transition. Here are some signs that your child is ready for kindergarten." 2. Kindergarten Accomplishments. The Committee for the Prevention of Reading Difficulties in Young Children compiled a list of what the typical child can do in kindergarten, such as knowing parts of a book, retelling parts of story, making predictions based on illustrations, and so forth. 3. Goals for Kindergarten: Experimental Reading and Writing. From the National Association for the Education of Young Children: "What children at the kindergarten phase should be able to do, and what teachers and families can do to support their development at this stage." 4. Reading Tips for Parents of Kindergarteners. Fun ways a parent can help a child become a happy and confident reader. Reading tips for babies, preschoolers, and more can also be found on the Reading Rockets website, including tip sheets in 11 different languages. Reflections... [Girl reading]I entered first grade at age 5. (We had no kindergarten classes in our school district at this time, and there were no rules saying that you had to be a certain age to enter first grade.) I grew up in a rural area, and the only person who lived near me that I had to play with was my female cousin, who was a year older than me. So, when she entered first grade, my Mom thought it would be terrible for me to be alone all day by myself, so off I went to school early. That same female cousin became a kindergarten teacher and many times throughout my life she told me how I should never have entered first grade at age 5, and what a terrible mistake that had been. I am not completely clear on how I was damaged, but I think she meant that I was probably not socially and emotionally ready to enter school, and that it affected me in many ways throughout all my school years. How does one know when a child is ready to start kindergarten? Experts say when trying to determine if a child is ready, one should not just consider whether or not he or she has mastered specific academic skills. Instead, his or her readiness to learn should be considered. How well is the child able to communicate and listen? Is the child able to get along with other children easily? Thus, the child's development and readiness for school is based on other skills besides their academic abilities. Being able to listen and follow directions, certain motor skills, and social and emotional development are all very important. Some parents choose to delay a child's entrance into kindergarten, believing that the child will have an advantage in academics by being older than average for his or her grade. This is more common among parents who have boys with birthdays near the school's cutoff date, thinking their child needs more time to mature. However, research suggests that parents who postpone enrollment for their child who is old enough for kindergarten doesn't perform any better than a child who enters school at the usual age - particularly if the child remains in an environment where readiness skills aren't stressed. Some studies show that a child who is old for his or her grade is at higher risk of behavior problems during adolescence. There is a lot to consider when deciding if a child is ready for kindergarten! ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

Patrons Message-ID: <1588950940.244090.1493750273682.JavaMail.zimbra@belleville.lib.mi.us> Greetings, Libraryland! Our one-on-one tech tutoring program is extremely popular with our patrons: it's probably one of the most valuable services we provide. We have, however, run into a few issues with the program that I'd like to address in order to make it a better experience both for our patrons and our staff! Our chief issues are: 1. patrons who want to keep attending sessions week after week, either because they enjoy the social aspect, they keep coming up with new issues or problems they'd like to address, or they're unable to retain the skills they've practiced in the initial sessions. If we had unlimited time and staffing, this wouldn't be an issue, but it's gotten to the point that existing participants are making it difficult for new people to make appointments. 2. Folks want us to address issues outside the scope of the program, and we have difficulty conveying to potential participants exactly what the scope of this program is. Another issue that's only come up once, but that we'd like to prevent emerging again in the future, is a participant asking a staff member to make changes to her phone, and then believing those changes "broke" her phone. So, if you have a tech tutoring program, had a tech tutoring program in the past, or are/were considering one: I'd like to hear from you! I'll list some questions below to jump start your thinking, but please don't feel you need to go down the list and answer each one. Mostly, I'd like to know: if you have a program, do you feel it works for your library? What aspects do or don't work? What problems have you encountered or anticipated, and how did you address them? I'm especially interested to hear if you've made changes to your program over time to improve it or to address certain issues, and how that worked out for you. If you have any materials that you'd be willing to share, I'd be so appreciative! Advertisements, sign-up sheets, or anything with wording on it that explains your program to patrons or staff. I'll compile and summarize all the responses I receive to send to the list. QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: * How is your program structured? Is it drop-in, by-appointment, or a mixture of both? Are there certain time slots set aside for the program, or are participants free to drop in/schedule an appointment any time? * Who runs the program? Staff or volunteers? Librarians, IT, or other staff? * If you set appointments for participants, who schedules the appointments? How do you keep track of them? * How much time do you set aside for the program? * What is the scope of your program, and how do you convey it to participants? Do you list which devices you will assist with? Do you demonstrate digital library services only, or will you help with other issues? * If you schedule individual sessions, do you limit the number of sessions for each participant? * Have you received any complaints about the program? What were they about, and how did you resolve them? * What sorts of issues do program participants come in with? Which are the easiest to resolve? Which the hardest? * What praise/compliments have you received about the program? What aspect do you think your patrons find the most valuable? * What essential skills should the person providing the tutoring for this program possess? What traits are useful but not absolutely necessary? * How do you identify staff/volunteers to tutor? * Do you have many repeat participants in the program? Does this cause a problem, and if so, how do you deal with it? Again: any thoughts you'd be willing to share would be oh so helpful. Much thanks for your time in reading this giant email!

I know there are services that clean for a fee, but the logistics of storing until I have enough to ship has become a bit of a nightmare. We'd probably be cleaning 2-3 discs a week on average. We don't have a ton of space either. Are any of the small machines worth their price or do any of you have a system you recommend? Please reply off-list and I'll post a compiled list of suggestions received. Thanks in advance!

The ?omnibus? bill included $231 million for the Institute of Museum and Library Services ? a $1 million increase over FY2016. American Library Association President Julie Todaro said in a statement, ?In congressional meetings on Capitol Hill today, participants in the 2017 National Library Legislative Day from all 50 states are saying ?thank you? to members of Congress for making our nation?s libraries a priority this year. This opportunity to say thanks is also a chance to voice our unequivocal opposition to threats to cut funding in FY2018.? http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2017/05/ala-applauds-fy2017-budget-increase-imls-calls-library-supporters-defend More than 500 library supporters gather to fight for libraries in Washington, D.C. on 2017 National Library Legislative Day More than five hundred library advocates from every state in the nation and the District of Columbia gathered in Washington, D.C. to advocate for federal support for libraries during the American Library Association?s (ALA) 43rd annual National Library Legislative Day. Over a thousand supporters also registered to participate simultaneously through Virtual Library Legislative Day, where advocates connect with legislators via phone calls, emails and social media platforms. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2017/05/more-500-library-supporters-gather-fight-libraries-washington-dc-2017 ALA gears up for renewed net neutrality fight Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai has announced plans to roll back net neutrality provisions.

American Library Association President-Elect James Neal in a statement said, "The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed the Librarian of Congress just nine months ago because she is an expert in modernizing complex information systems in libraries and a proven manager of them: exactly what the Copyright Office needs. ALA urges the Senate to let Dr. (Carla) Hayden build her own team, including the Register of Copyrights, to accomplish that mission without further delay. H.R. 1695 isn?t the way to get there. We urge the Senate to reject it." http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2017/04/ala-urges-senate-reject-bill-make-register-copyrights-presidential-appointee Beth Nawalinski named United for Libraries executive director Nawalinski will fill the position being vacated by the retirement of Sally Reed, effective July 31, 2017.

Library Journal is looking for librarians to judge their 2017 Indie Ebook Awards. If you are interested in supporting self-published authors, reading original content you probably wouldn't otherwise see, checking out the Biblioboard platform, or just want to judge a book contest, please fill out this brief survey expressing interest at http://conta.cc/2qu33TL (note: This link is different than the one at the bottom of the email; the coordinators sent me a new link). I helped in first-round judging for the 2016 contest. It was fun and relatively simple, but we really could have used some more judges...the more judges, the fewer individual titles each judge is responsible for! If you're interested, please take the brief survey. If you have any questions for me, a "veteran" [?] judge before making a commitment, let me know. If you have questions for the contest organizers, email the sender of the original message (info at bibliolabs.com). Thanks for your consideration! Jessica Little Library Director T.A.

[http://files.constantcontact.com/738f5d0d101/1d13f54a-bd2d-45a3-96ac-69c7cc852a70.png] Library Journal's SELF-e program is calling for judges for its 2017 Indie Ebook Awards! This contest recognizes the best self-published books in five genres - Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance, Mystery and Young Adult - from SELF-e authors around the world. If you are invested in the indie author community, judging might be the perfect chance for you to find breakout indie authors! Intrigued? Read on for details. The Expectations Since the contest has not yet begun, it is difficult to predict how many books each of this year's judges will read. However, last year's contest brought in around 40-60 books in the each of the four adult genres and 100 books in the young adult genre. The judges then split those books evenly among themselves. In past contests, our judges have typically spent between one and two and a half hours a week judging books, averaging about one to three books a week. This year, we expect judges will review at least two books a week. Judges must also undergo a short virtual training process before they begin. The Timeline Judging will take place in two rounds. The first round will be from May 15 to August 15, and the second round will be from August 31 to October 23. The Rewards Beyond the privilege of helping decide which books deserve to be recognized by Library Journal, judges will be spotlighted in a blog post featured on the SELF-e website. If you're interested in being a judge for the 2017 Indie Ebook Awards, please fill out the survey to let us know your genre preferences and availability. We'll be in touch with survey respondents in the coming weeks.

Do your patrons comment on how easy it is to find items on your shelves? Have you ditched Dewey? Kent District Library is conducting some research on patron-centered, intuitive shelving methods and categorization. We are looking for public libraries that truly shine in terms of human-centered shelving systems. If your library has an approach to shelving fiction or non-fiction that works beautifully for your patrons and staff in terms if ease of use, we'd love to hear from you.

So, our Board Secretary takes the minutes at our meetings. With that said, we also have our administrative assistant take notes in case the Board Secretary needs to confirm/clarify something when typing up the minutes. I personally think it's important that the Board Secretary be responsible for those anyway... that's generally the description for most Board Secretary duties... plus, I wouldn't want it to appear that the library/library staff were "skewing" anything in the minutes if there was something that the staff might feel differently about than the Board. I want it to be an accurate representation of the Board's stance on whatever was discussed. We won't edit them, either, when the draft is submitted. Any changes/corrections to the draft minutes (even typos) are done at the next Board meeting before final approval..... just to make sure everything is done transparently.

Here is the summary of Button maker responses (also attached). Based on the responses, we are probably going to get a 1.25" one from American button machines. Button Making Machines - compilation of responses May 3, 2017 Button Biz I personally used a button maker from Button Biz. The machine, supplies, and customer support was great. (I was not the original owner, so I don't know how much use it had before.) I did the one inch. https://buttonbiz.com/products/button-maker/ Wendy Can't part with ours, because it is always a *huge* hit. Everyone age group loves our button maker. They aren't inexpensive, but they are durable and worth every penny. Bought ours online at Button Biz. Best, Diane Badge-A-Minit Melissa, I have used the 2 1/4 in. and the 3 in. semi-automatic badge-a-matic machines from Badge-A-Minit (http://www.badgeaminit.com/semkit.html). I have had good experiences with these machines at both a former school where I worked, and a former library. They are a little pricey but they are great machines! Jessica Hunt, Director, Grant Area District Library I do NOT recommend Badge-a-minit. That was our first button maker purchase, and it has a design flaw that makes the failure rate astronomical. It's also made rather cheaply of plastic, and their buttons are a special size so you have to order replacement buttons from them. I DO recommend American Button Machines. The machine is a bit pricey, but it's well made and easy to use. We bought this kit, and I've been very happy with it, especially when comparing to the Badge-a-minit: https://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/collections/beginner-button-making-kits/products/2-25-beginner-button-system Laura Hauch, Circulation Manager, Buchanan District Library zv045 Hi Melissa A friend gave me her BadgeAMinit button maker--I didn't have good luck with it and ended up throwing it away. I think I had about a 50% success rate in making a good button--I can't recommend that brand http://www.badgeaminit.com/starterkit.html. Regards, Jane Dr. Don's Melissa, We have been using Dr. Don's for years. We have a 3" and a 2 1/4 " machine. They have each made thousands of buttons and both still work flawlessly. Cost for parts is good. http://buttonsonline.com/ - John Bezotte, Sandusky District Library American Button Machines Please Note: there is also a positive recommendation for this company by Laura Hauch in her "Badge-A-Minute" response: I have purchased button makers from this company for years... https://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/ They are sturdy, easy to use, and easy to get materials for when needed. Here at HLPL we have the 1". I have also bought several other sizes during my time at other libraries. This company even has a great YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AButtonMachines/videos Kimberly Young, Library Director Houghton Lake Public Library We got an American Button Machine recently & it's wonderful. High quality, heavy duty & easy to use. I highly recommend it! We got the 1.5 inch size. If I was doing it again, I'd get slightly larger - the 1.5 is great for giveaway buttons & the like, but when we have kids make their own buttons, the canvas is a little bit small. Hope that helps! Emily Hartman, Spring Lake District Library Hi Melissa, We just bought one from American Button Machines. We decided to go with a kit that includes the cutter and a supply of parts to get us started, as well as design software. I think it is of good quality and will last us a long time! https://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/ is their website. We decided to go with the 2.25" machine. It's the most common size for buttons and gives us more space for designs and text. (This is partially because we want to be able to make reusable name tag style buttons for events.) (As an aside--I personally have a 1" button machine at home for my own use, but since the buttons are quite small, you can't get very much on them. On the other hand, the parts for the 1" buttons are less expensive, so I can afford to give them away.) I guess I would recommend thinking about what you most want to be able to make. You can buy parts to make keychains, mirrors, magnets, etc. as long as they are the correct diameter for your machine. We thought that might be nice for promotional giveaways sometimes. But for the most part, what we want to do is convey more information on our pins, so we wanted slightly bigger size. We could have gone even bigger, and did consider the 3" machine, but then decided that 2.25" was still big enough but gave us more flexibility in the long run. Raya Samet, Education, Health & Human Services Librarian, University of Michigan - Dearborn Hi Melissa, We have a button maker for our department's use and have bought some for makerkits at some of our branches. Tecre makes the best button makers. However, you can get the kit with a Tecre button maker cheaper from American Button Machines. You can find the professional button making kits here: https://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/collections/professional-button-making-kits You want to make sure you get a graphic punch for whatever size button you decide to go with. The professional button kits come with one. The adjustable circle cutter and the hand-held punch cutters are horrible. If you get a kit, it will come with some supplies already. If you need more supplies in the future, it is typically cheaper to order through Tecre for supplies. They work in the American Button Machines makers since they are actually Tecre button makers. Hope this helps. We love our button maker and it's a big hit with the kids. Jessica Goodrich, Business and Careers Outreach Librarian, Capital Area District Library - Community Outreach, 401 S. Capitol Avenue, Lansing, MI 48933 ButtonBoy We bought from https://www.etsy.com/shop/ButtonBoyInc Very happy with it. I think it's 1.25" We buy supplies from them too and they turn it around really fast. Barbara Beaton Thanks for the responses!

We've added two tabs to the search box. By default you continue to search all resources but now you can also choose to search either just MeLCat or just Articles and eResources by simply clicking on the labeled tab. The MeLCat tab searches the shared catalog. Articles and eResources is a little more complicated. The good news is that it's also easier than it used to be. Articles and eResources includes many MeL databases, curated websites, articles from popular and academic journals as well as magazines and digital repositories. After usability testing, we determined that it was not helpful to have a large collection of scholarly works that were not actually drawn from our own purchased content. Since we've removed it, the search results are much more likely to be relevant to the Michigan residents who rely on MeL for information. We also opted to remove the Advanced Search option from the homepage. It performed very poorly in testing among non-library staff and in fact proved to be more of a hindrance than a help to successful searching. Advanced Search is still available to you from the search results screen, just look for the discreet link under the search box on the top of the results page. We hope these changes will make the homepage search box more attractive and useful and for you. 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.

Check out this free webinar from WebJunction! TUESDAY, MAY 11, 2017 Beyond the Welcome Sign: Tailoring Immigrant Services for Success 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time There is much more to supporting immigrants and refugees than hanging out a "welcome" sign at your library. Successful programs and services are specifically tailored to meet the needs of the range of populations who may come through your doors. Hear from Movers & Shakers who work with communities to empower vulnerable and often underserved populations with a sense of belonging and self-reliance. Learn innovative approaches to identifying and celebrating immigrant leaders; how to foster networking between native-born and newcomer populations and between immigrant groups of varying national origins; how to highlight immigrant-positive narratives; and more. You'll be sure to find practical ideas among the multi-pronged strategies that these librarians have used to ensure that new immigrants really do feel welcomed by the library and the community. Presented by: Will Chan, City and County of Denver, (recent Program Administrator, New Americans Project, Denver Public Library), and 2016 Mover & Shaker and Sophie Maier, Immigrant Services Librarian, Louisville Free Public Library, and 2017 Mover & Shaker.

Keep your eye out for a special 2-day in person program offered by MCLS, Michigan Library Cooperative Directors Association, Library of Michigan, Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA), and Michigan Library Association (MLA) this September 6 & 7! For more information, check out http://mcls.org/training-events/events/michigan-library-safety-programs/ Maintaining a Safe and Respectful Library: A Customized Plan - Online Course Library staff face the challenge of providing good customer service, even in the face of difficult interactions. However, feeling - and being - safe at work takes much more than just customer service training. A truly safe workplace is a welcoming workplace that reflects "kindness, mercy, tact, compassion, a desire to understand-and a generosity of spirit" for both customers and staff.1 In this four-week course, participants will complete a Workplace Audit and Action Plan that will help them explore how their library can develop a safe and respectful service environment for visitors and staff. From policies and procedures to job descriptions, performance expectations, behavior and discipline rules and safety guidelines, we can build and maintain workplaces that make everyone feel welcome. During this course participants will examine current conditions in their own libraries - including everything from signage and bathrooms to parking lots, policies, and job descriptions with the goal to honestly assess them and develop practical plans for improvement.

As libraries move towards putting a plan together or just want to investigate how they may do this in the future we wanted to make sure the community was aware of the online resources or upcoming events that are available to help. These are not going to create a plan for your library but directors and staff can review and discuss ideas to help prepare for how you want to approach planning in your library. Aspen Institute's Action Guide for Re-Envisioning Your Public Library - http://www.libraryvision.org/ The guide leads you through a variety of strategic activities and provides worksheets that evaluate the current level of support for your library and the resources needed to plan and convene your own community dialogue. WebJunction also provides an archived webinar to help you get started with the resources from the Aspen Institute - http://learn.webjunction.org/course/search.php?search=Aspen+Institute Harwood Institute's Turning Outward Resources for Libraries - http://www.ala.org/transforminglibraries/libraries-transforming-communities/resources-for-library-professionals You can't create a plan unless you understand your community. The Harwood tools can help your library gain a better understanding your community, not just your patrons, an help strengthen your community to create positive change. WebJunction provides a variety of recorded sessions covering everything from facility planning, surveys to community engagement.

It takes up the room of a regular computer workstation. We use it to clean maybe 10 discs per week? --Melissa H. (Hudsonville) We have an older VMI that works well on DVDs, but does not do Blu-ray or video games. We also have a single-disc ECOPro2, which does all three types and works very well, if staff/volunteers remember to put it "to bed" correctly. This is detailed in the instructions, and we've made a cheat-sheet as reminders. Both were funded by grants and are about $1,000 +/- shipping and extra supplies. I would say that the ECOPro2 is more effective and a better use of the funds, as it does all three formats. Also, be sure to shop around. There are some great sales, and we got our VMI through Baker & Taylor, if you can believe it. Free shipping! VMI 3500 - https://www.venmill.com/products/vmi-3500-buffer ECOPro2 - https://www.elm-usa.com/products/ecopro2-rental --Cynthia S. (Albion District Library) We use JFJ Easy Pro which was inexpensive and small. I've been happy with the job it does. It repairs all but the worst gouges fairly well, following directions. We also use 2 to 3 times a week. The downside is the compound deteriorates so I throw away a lot of compound (about once a year). The supplies are fairly expensive but not horrible. All in all, this was worth its price in convenience. --Sharla V. (Tekonsha Township Library) DeWitt uses the JFJ Easy Pro Total Disc Repair. We desperately needed a DVD cleaner, but did not have a lot of money to spend. I believe it is around $129 but supplies have to be purchased separately, so I think we invested around $150 total. We've had the machine around 4+ years with no troubles, and we easily clean a dozen DVDs (sometimes more) per week. Over the summer, we cleaned the entire children's DVD collection. The only thing we have had to purchase is additional cleaning supplies. Here is the link for the company: http://www.jfjeasypro.com/shopnew/ It may be cheaper to buy it off Amazon or elsewhere online....I don't know. --Jennifer B. (DeWitt District Library) We have been using an EcoSmart disc cleaning machine since 2011 with excellent results. It can take a very badly scratched DVD/CD and restore it to almost new condition. They are a bit pricey initially but they go-and-go (we have never had any mechanical failure with our machine.) Here is Elm USA contact info: Michael Rozner Sales Manager ELM USA 1611 Barclay Blvd. Buffalo Grove, IL 60089 Phone: 847.243.4150 Fax: 847.243.4155 --Al S. (Muskegon Area District Library) About 10 years ago we bought the EcoSmart machine. At first it was not used often but now we clean about 50 discs a week, and still working great. It is a wonderful machine. For limited space it is nice also, probably uses about a 2' x 2' area. The machine is smaller than that but with water and tubing you will need about that size space. You can find out more about the machine at Elm USA, (847)243-4150 or www.elm-usa.com (Michigan Reps name is Mike Rozner). --Cheryl W. (Lapeer District Library) Dorr Township Library used Elm USA for about 2 years. We recently just canceled our contract with them because their terms didn?t work out for us, but they may for you. They have a pay as you go program that used to have no minimum charge. Unfortunately, they raised their minimum to $25 a month which is about 100 discs a month if I?m remembering correctly. We did way less than that so it just wasn?t cost effective for us, but it is a very small machine (smaller than a breadmaker) and takes up little space. For repairing the discs, it worked really well for us and almost all our scratched discs were saved (the really bad ones were just beyond help). And it is relatively inexpensive as long as you are meeting their minimum. --Elyshia S. (Hopkins District Library) We have been using the Disc-go-devil for about 10 years now. We polish on average 3 discs a week as well. Because of the abrasive nature of the polishing compound some of the working parts need to be replaced from time to time. They sell a very affordable refurbishing kit,that includes easy to follow instructions. --Marion B. (Northfield Township Area Library) I suggest contacting: Mike Ruffolo, President ELM USA 1609 Barclay Blvd Buffalo Grove, Illinois 60089 Tel: +1 847-243-4150 Mobile: +1 224-409-8643 We have "rent" their ECOpro unit... pay per disc cleaned. The unit is small so it easily fits on a counter and they provide the supplies when needed. They recently changed their terms of service (i.e., have to pay a minimum of $25 or clean the equivalent of 100 discs per month). However, they also have other options for libraries that don't have that volume of cleaning/buffing each month. They've always been very helpful and pleasant to work with as well. If you do contact him tell them I said "Hi!? --Stephanie M. (St. Joseph/Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library) Hi! We use the JFJ Easy Pro and it works really well. If you?d every like to see how it works, you are more than welcome to stop by our library. ? Thanks! --Kimberly C. (Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Library) We have a JFJ Easy Pro disc cleaner. We saw them some years ago at the ALA exhibits and were given a coupon for quite a bit off the regular price. We have been happy with it. --Anne G. (Eau Claire District Library) Hi: We use the ELO Disc Repair System, formerly Eco Disc. Apparently a new company took over Eco disc and changed the name. We had an Eco disc machine for over 10 years and it worked great. When it finally broke down, we called the company and they replaced it with the ELO at a good discount. But, we didn't have it more than 3 weeks when we had to send it in for repair. I don't believe it's made the same. Anyway, the customer service was great. They sent a label for mailing it back to them, fixed it in a timely manner, and it has worked fine since. So, not sure whether or not I can recommend this machine. Good luck! --Loretta S. (Branch District Library) We use a JFJ Easy Pro machine. It's fairly inexpensive and works well for us (we clean about 10-15 discs a week). The machine in quite small too - less than 18 inches on all sides. --Katrina S. (Crawford Co. Library) We use Elm-USA service. They supply the machine and all supplies, we pay them at a rate of $.25 per disc cleaning. There is a minimum monthly of $25.00 (100 discs cleaned), but that's fairly easy to meet. There is no deposit needed and set up is easy - machine is about the size of a 4-slice toaster. The only issue is you must be able to hook up internet to the machine (they gather stats via internet). The cleaning takes as little as 30 seconds per disc and is clean - no polishing needed afterwards. This was our best choice since we are a smaller library. Hope this info helps. --Laura O. (Camden Twp. Library) I've attached a PDF as well for those that want to save the responses more easily.

However, this database is very clunky and in need of an update. It is a MySQL database with images inside that serves as an obituary index. We either need help extracting the images out of the database and linking the new location back into the record or a full replacement. I am trying to figure out the best course of action for provided better access to this information and how much it will cost us. I don't know if there is something already out there that we could buy into or if we need someone to update our current database or custom code us a new one. If any of you have experience with such a database I would appreciate your feedback on the following questions: Do you have existing software that you are using that might be available to us? Do you like it? Do you know the pricing? Do you know of a reliable of MySQL/PHP coder who could help us? If you had a custom database coded how much did it cost? Any additional information that might be relevant would also be much appreciated. Thanks! Keegan -- Keegan Sulecki Head of Adult Services Chelsea District Library 221 S.

The owners claim they are comfort animals, support animals and therapy dogs. Some of these people have even purchased support animal vests or collars for their animals on the internet. How are you handling this? The State of Michigan ADA Compliance Office has a very helpful FAQ for service animals, which are defined as "a guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to a person with a disability. *A service animal is not a pet*." The Compliance Office further states that "Emotional support animals are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. The tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual's disability. ... *While comfort animals are often used as part of a medical treatment plan, they are not considered service animals under the ADA*. "Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the person with a disability cannot perform for him or herself....Some examples include: * Alerting persons with hearing disabilities to sounds * Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility disabilities * Assisting persons with mobility disabilities with balance." The Compliance Office FAQ goes on to offer specific questions and advice on service animals, including the questions that we can ask patrons about their animal, and other useful information. Emotional support animals seem to be more of a grey area, and some of them cause problems for other patrons and for staff. We've had reptiles. We had 6 a week old puppy that was not housebroken. Law suits have been mentioned to us. Other nearby libraries are said by patrons to be completely friendly to all dogs all the time. Is this true? How are other libraries handling people who want to bring an emotional support animal into the library? I know that many airlines are now allowing emotional support animals on planes. But libraries?

I am NOT concerned about them (recovering alcoholics) using our room. My question stemmed from privacy concerns for them - if we post that we host AA meetings "at this time, on this day," and your vehicle is parked in the our lot, anyone driving by knows why you're here (the requested meeting time is after our normal hours). My only other concern was the "public-ness" of the meetings. Any meeting held in the library needs to be open to the public... do AA meetings qualify?

In our situation we are are landlocked and need more space. We don't have enough money to build a new building and our community could not support this expense. The school is moving out of one of its buildings as they have added on to one of the other schools and are consolidating classes. This leaves an empty 40,000 sq. ft. building that needs major repairs. A well known community member has offered up to 1 million dollars to fix the problems with the old school building such as new roof, heating and air-conditioning. We have been asked to consider moving the Hartford Public Library into the building. It will be considered a community center. We would be the largest participant considering occupying 15,000 sq ft. approx. We will still maintain our name. The other participants will be the Hartford Senior center and the adult education classes. The project hinges on our participation. It is a win win situation for us, because of our space issue, but the Board is concerned about such a move. There are lots of big details to discuss before an agreement can be made. We are asking for comments. Regards,Stephanie DanielsDirectorHartford Public LibraryHartford, MI 49057 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As was the case last year, there are three brochures, in pdf format: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP-LowerMitten-Brochure.pdf for the southern Lower Peninsula http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP-UpperMitten-Brochure.pdf for the northern Lower Peninsula http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP-UpperPeninsula-Brochure.pdf for the Upper Peninsula The brochures and all MAP related promotional material can be found at this link: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ NEW to this year's brochures is the inclusion of a designation symbol next to the name of those destinations whose facilities are accessible. Brigette designed the brochures so as to optimize them for printing by libraries. That said, if you wish to re-work the brochures to your liking I have attached Word versions of all three. Thank you for your work on the brochures, Brigette. And to libraries, thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Do you have an elementary through high school aged student at your desk looking for resources to write a biography for a school assignment or just satisfy their curiosity? Look no further than MeL, we have outstanding biographies spread among our various resources. If you're looking to browse in a particular area, such as a figure for Women's History Month or a poet for National Poetry Month, BritannicaSchool is a good place to start. You can select era, national/cultural association, and then what the person is known for. Different people will appear for different age ranges depending on suitability and the article reading level can be scaled up or down. Other resources do better in specific areas. For instance, Research in Context for middle schoolers has over 232 individual biographies just on civil rights figures and they're strong on ancient civilizations such as figures from India, Greece, Egypt, the Aztec Empire and Rome. If you're looking for presidential biographies, Kids InfoBits is going to be your best bet at the elementary level and Britannica for high school students. Worldbook Kids specializes in brief biographies for the K-5 group that you can break down and explore by gender, area of specialty, country or cultural heritage and time period. Chances are that MeL has what you're looking for when it comes to preK-12 educational needs but you may need to look in more than one place. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of each student resource, particularly for that frequently needed biography research material. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or Sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Warm regards, Deb & Sonya D. R.

View as a web page. [ALA Membership] Hello, As promised, I?m back with an update on our Fight for Libraries! Campaign. Right now, we are aiming to get 51 United States Senators to sign letters by our Senate champions. These letters call on the Senate Appropriations Committee to fund LSTA at $186.6 million and IAL at $27 million for FY 2018. So far, we?re doing okay, but not okay enough. Only 22 Senators have signed for LSTA, and only 14 are on board for IAL. YOU can help change that, and I hope you will. You?ll find all the background information and links you need to quickly reach both of your senators by email, phone or Twitter at our Fight for Libraries! web portal and at ALA?s Legislative Action Center. We need at least 51 Senators? names on each of these letters by May 19, so there?s no time to lose! The other great news is that we?re not in this fight alone. As posted on District Dispatch by the Office of Government Relations: ?Today, that effort got an enormous boost when ALA delivered a powerful letter by eight leading national companies with collective revenue measured in billions of dollars (Baker & Taylor, Follett School Solutions, Gale/Cengage, OverDrive, Peachtree Publishers, Penguin Random House, ProQuest and Rosen Publishing) to the offices of all Senators who have not already signed both the Senate LSTA and IAL letters urging them to do so.? Even better, the companies? letter is open to online signature by any other similarly supportive business, should they decide to join our campaign. Corporate support is terrific, but if your Senators don?t hear from you ? their constituent ? they are far less likely to sign the ?Dear Appropriator? letters. Please, check our sortable tracker tool to see if both of your Senators have signed both the LSTA and IAL letters and, if they both haven?t signed, contact them ? or re-contact them if you?ve already reached out ? TODAY. Thank you, all. I?ll keep you posted again soon, but please act TODAY!

While two board members sit on the committee it is not a regular committee of the board and they have one very specific task. The other members of the committee are community members who are committed to improving the library. There is a very negative group of folks in town who do not want the library to succeed, or even exist. One of those people has heard of this committee and wants to be notified when they meet and attend those meetings. I probably cannot lock her, or anyone, out of the meetings, but do we have to notify her of the meetings or allow public comment? We are not trying to hide anything, and this Planning Committee will be holding public meetings and forums as they proceed. Thank you for your collective wisdom.

I've had the pleasure to meet the team and they are very knowledgeable. Find those treasures and enjoy a peaceful day at Orchard Lake before the Polish Country Fair! - Caryn Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Poland, it's our privilege to host a world-renowned team of experts here at The Polish Mission. Dr. Marek Kolyszko, Dariusz Subocz, and Adam Korcz are here all the way from Poland's Torun and Grebocin, and they're experts in the fields of archaeology and conservation. During their stay they'll be dedicating their time to helping preserve our treasured collections here at Orchard Lake, and discover more! Thursday, May 25 Two Workshops: 12 noon and 6:00 pm @ the Galeria // (Building #8) 3535 Commerce Rd., Orchard Lake, MI 48324 Thursday, May 25 will be your opportunity to see professional museum work up close, as Dariusz Subocz begins conservation of three special pieces from our Galeria collection: A Winter Landscape in Polesia by Falat, Self Portrait with Christ by Malczewski, and Boleslaw I of Swiatopelk at the Golden Gate in Kiev (sketch), by Matejko. Guests will have the opportunity to learn conservation methods through Subocz's work and ask questions directly. Conservation of these three works of art was made possible through the generosity of the Orchard Lake Schools Ambassadors, the Levandoski family and Mr. Walt Bala. Dr. Marek Kolyszko is Poland's most renowned archaeologist, who has excavated historic sites from the battlefields of Scotland to the deserts of Libya. Dr. Kolyszko will conduct a hands-on learning experience, in which guests can make souvenir castings of objects from our collection. The plaster/silicone casting method is the same one used in restoring Poland's historic castle facades and other masonry. In addition, Adam Korcz will demonstrate the art of paper making, while showing his recent work on 16th- through 17th century royal Polish correspondence from our collection. Our team is proud to offer free museum evaluations of your own paintings, documents, and metal objects. Feel free to bring your items to the Galeria, and our team will offer advice on how to preserve them for posterity. Guests are advised to wear comfortable work clothes and shoes. Enjoy sweet Kremowki made by our own Chef Emily with coffee & tea, while our museum team shares stories and expertise with our community. Don't hesitate to call with questions, and see you Thursday!

Where teens in an after-school program create the coding for a website about local history? Or where a preschool playgroup learns the building blocks of problem solving by partnering with community recycling programs to tackle a sustainability project? The University of Maryland College of Information Studies is making this vision of advanced library programming possible through the online Graduate Certificate of Professional Studies in Youth Experience (YX). This certificate program is made possible by generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Library and information science professionals participating in this one-year program receive training to: ? Facilitate youth learning with technology in both formal and informal environments ? Leverage simple to advanced technology to meet the community?s needs ? Engage youth in co-designing, executing, and evaluating programming in and via libraries ? Develop community resources and partnerships to advance youth learning opportunities ? Implement best practices to be inclusive of all youth?s needs, in particular youth from disadvantaged populations We are proud to announce that the first cohort of YX librarians will begin May 2017. These 14 future library and information leaders will be equipped to become advocates of youth development and innovators of library and youth programming. Visit us online to follow the adventures of the first cohort, learn more, or apply for next year?s program.

Circulate The Greatest Number Of MAP Passes This Summer, And Win Another One! Message-ID: <1839878753.360156.1495220415741.JavaMail.zimbra@tln.lib.mi.us> All, As you are aware, the Michigan Activity Pass program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year http://tln.lib.mi.us/mapcvr/Files/MAP%202017_Release_FINAL.pdf The 10th year of MAP starts next Wednesday, May 24. In order to build in an additional wow! factor, as well as to increase awareness among library staff when it comes to all the great destination venues that can be accessed via the Michigan Activity Pass program, and then of course promoted to library patrons, TLN went shopping. On Black Friday. Or maybe it was on Cyber Monday?! For Kindle Fire tablets. Whichever day, we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. At a very, very good price. Now, the real fun begins...we get to start giving those tablets to participating MAP libraries! For the peak MAP usage months of June, July, and August, we will award one Kindle Fire tablet (5th generation; 7" display; 8gb; quad-core processor; dual cameras; microSD slot for up to 128gb of expandable storage) to the libraries in their respective library cooperatives that circulate the greatest number of MAP passes that month. Four libraries will win in June. This includes libraries in Woodlands, Detroit, Suburban, and Southwest library cooperatives. Four libraries will win in July. This includes libraries in Superiorland, Northland, Mid-Michigan, and Lakeland library cooperatives. Three libraries will win in August. This includes libraries in MidEastern, White Pine, and TLN library cooperatives. That makes for a total of 11 Kindle Fire tablets! Prizes will be awarded in early July, early August, and early September to the winning libraries, based on MAP circulation totals from the previous month. We will ship the tablet to the winning library via RIDES (or for the winning TLN library, TLN) delivery. We know you already promote MAP to your patrons, and we are very appreciative of that fact. But now you can help win a Kindle Fire tablet for your library by really, really promoting MAP to your patrons! We make promotion easy by providing you with brochures (just updated for 2017-18, now includes accessibility information), posters, bookmarks, a PowerPoint presentation, etc all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ For library cooperative directors, please feel free to share the information about our June/July/August MAP contest with staff in any of your member libraries that may not be subscribed to the Michlib-l listserv. Now, I said we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. Yes, we did. But there are only 11 library cooperatives. What's up with that? We need to give away 12 tablets! So, let's start the party right now by giving away that 12th Kindle Fire tablet. The first library that is a participating MAP library that correctly answers the below *** question, will win that 12th Kindle Fire tablet! Here are the guidelines for today's MAP quiz contest: 1. Your library must be included in the MAP database http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ Every public library in Michigan is included in the MAP database, making every public library eligible to win! 2. More than one library will submit the correct answer, as the question isn't hard, and every person who is reading this message is an information professional. As that is the case, the first library with the correct answer as determined by the time stamp of their email answer back to me, will be declared the winner. 3. TLN and/or its staff are not eligible to win. Here is your question. Drum roll, please: Or for more fun, get warmed up by listening to this tune from the 1960's which, if you are old enough like me, you will remember :( Even if you aren't, you still have to admit that it has a pretty darn good drum roll part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M ***What is the name of the SMALLEST place in Michigan to have not just one but two, destinations in the MAP http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ database??? We are looking for the name of the place in which the two MAP destinations are located, as defined by the USPS. For bonus credit: include the population of this SMALLEST place in your answer. I took that population number from Wikipedia, and as information professionals we know Wikipedia is never wrong, right? :) If you answer the bonus credit question correctly, you get to choose between one of the 11 black, special Kindle Fire tablets, and the 12th really, really special Kindle Fire tablet. The 12th tablet is really, really special because it is blue. Or maybe it is really, really special only if you like blue? Otherwise, it is identical to the other 11. Those are all black. And they are special. But I think I said that already. The contest for that 12th, really, really special Kindle Fire tablet starts right now. Send your answer to me via email, preferably before anyone else does. I don't work weekends, so it is likely the winning library will not be announced until Monday. Go!

After replying with details of the next library board meeting, the next message may be along the lines of "Thank you! Looking forward to next week's board meeting! Attached is a document with a preview of the issues I intend to raise during public comment. The password is..." or "I have shared the following file with you via [service]"... where the document / link in questions would be malicious.

Circulate The Greatest Number Of MAP Passes This Summer, And Win Another One! Message-ID: <1839878753.360156.1495220415741.JavaMail.zimbra at tln.lib.mi.us> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" All, As you are aware, the Michigan Activity Pass program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year http://tln.lib.mi.us/mapcvr/Files/MAP%202017_Release_FINAL.pdf The 10th year of MAP starts next Wednesday, May 24. In order to build in an additional wow! factor, as well as to increase awareness among library staff when it comes to all the great destination venues that can be accessed via the Michigan Activity Pass program, and then of course promoted to library patrons, TLN went shopping. On Black Friday. Or maybe it was on Cyber Monday?! For Kindle Fire tablets. Whichever day, we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. At a very, very good price. Now, the real fun begins...we get to start giving those tablets to participating MAP libraries! For the peak MAP usage months of June, July, and August, we will award one Kindle Fire tablet (5th generation; 7" display; 8gb; quad-core processor; dual cameras; microSD slot for up to 128gb of expandable storage) to the libraries in their respective library cooperatives that circulate the greatest number of MAP passes that month. Four libraries will win in June. This includes libraries in Woodlands, Detroit, Suburban, and Southwest library cooperatives. Four libraries will win in July. This includes libraries in Superiorland, Northland, Mid-Michigan, and Lakeland library cooperatives. Three libraries will win in August. This includes libraries in MidEastern, White Pine, and TLN library cooperatives. That makes for a total of 11 Kindle Fire tablets! Prizes will be awarded in early July, early August, and early September to the winning libraries, based on MAP circulation totals fr! om the previous month. We will ship the tablet to the winning library via RIDES (or for the winning TLN library, TLN) delivery. We know you already promote MAP to your patrons, and we are very appreciative of that fact. But now you can help win a Kindle Fire tablet for your library by really, really promoting MAP to your patrons! We make promotion easy by providing you with brochures (just updated for 2017-18, now includes accessibility information), posters, bookmarks, a PowerPoint presentation, etc all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ For library cooperative directors, please feel free to share the information about our June/July/August MAP contest with staff in any of your member libraries that may not be subscribed to the Michlib-l listserv. Now, I said we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. Yes, we did. But there are only 11 library cooperatives. What's up with that? We need to give away 12 tablets! So, let's start the party right now by giving away that 12th Kindle Fire tablet. The first library that is a participating MAP library that correctly answers the below *** question, will win that 12th Kindle Fire tablet! Here are the guidelines for today's MAP quiz contest: 1. Your library must be included in the MAP database http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ Every public library in Michigan is included in the MAP database, making every public library eligible to win! 2. More than one library will submit the correct answer, as the question isn't hard, and every person who is reading this message is an information professional. As that is the case, the first library with the correct answer as determined by the time stamp of their email answer back to me, will be declared the winner. 3. TLN and/or its staff are not eligible to win. Here is your question. Drum roll, please: Or for more fun, get warmed up by listening to this tune from the 1960's which, if you are old enough like me, you will remember :( Even if you aren't, you still have to admit that it has a pretty darn good drum roll part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M ***What is the name of the SMALLEST place in Michigan to have not just one but two, destinations in the MAP http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ database??? We are looking for the name of the place in which the two MAP destinations are located, as defined by the USPS. For bonus credit: include the population of this SMALLEST place in your answer. I took that population number from Wikipedia, and as information professionals we know Wikipedia is never wrong, right? :) If you answer the bonus credit question correctly, you get to choose between one of the 11 black, special Kindle Fire tablets, and the 12th really, really special Kindle Fire tablet. The 12th tablet is really, really special because it is blue. Or maybe it is really, really special only if you like blue? Otherwise, it is identical to the other 11. Those are all black. And they are special. But I think I said that already. The contest for that 12th, really, really special Kindle Fire tablet starts right now. Send your answer to me via email, preferably before anyone else does. I don't work weekends, so it is likely the winning library will not be announced until Monday. Go!

This was the text: "Dear Library Director, I am a patron of the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community and would like to be more involved in how our library is run. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?" This was my reply: "Mr. XXXXX, Thank you for your interest in the Genesee District Library. The next Library Board meeting is Monday, June 19th at 5:30pm. Dave" It is interesting to note that the name submitted is not in our Patron database. It also interesting to me that the messages received seem to vary. I wonder if this is someone or group "conducting research" to see if a message in supporting the library receives more responses than a message that states concerns with how the library is run "spending too high". I did consider disregarding the message altogether as it could easily be classified as spam, however, I see no danger is providing publicly available information in my reply. I do not expect any unusual attendance at our meeting as a result but will certainly be on the lookout for suspicious hyperlinks in further correspondence, as suggested already. :o) Dave David Conklin Director Genesee District Library (810) 230-3335 Office (810) 732-1161 Fax dconklin at thegdl.org Genesee District Library Headquarters 4195 W.

Circulate The Greatest Number Of MAP Passes This Summer, And Win Another One! Message-ID: <1839878753.360156.1495220415741.JavaMail.zimbra at tln.lib.mi.us> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" All, As you are aware, the Michigan Activity Pass program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year http://tln.lib.mi.us/mapcvr/Files/MAP%202017_Release_FINAL.pdf The 10th year of MAP starts next Wednesday, May 24. In order to build in an additional wow! factor, as well as to increase awareness among library staff when it comes to all the great destination venues that can be accessed via the Michigan Activity Pass program, and then of course promoted to library patrons, TLN went shopping. On Black Friday. Or maybe it was on Cyber Monday?! For Kindle Fire tablets. Whichever day, we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. At a very, very good price. Now, the real fun begins...we get to start giving those tablets to participating MAP libraries! For the peak MAP usage months of June, July, and August, we will award one Kindle Fire tablet (5th generation; 7" display; 8gb; quad-core processor; dual cameras; microSD slot for up to 128gb of expandable storage) to the libraries in their respective library cooperatives that circulate the greatest number of MAP passes that month. Four libraries will win in June. This includes libraries in Woodlands, Detroit, Suburban, and Southwest library cooperatives. Four libraries will win in July. This includes libraries in Superiorland, Northland, Mid-Michigan, and Lakeland library cooperatives. Three libraries will win in August. This includes libraries in MidEastern, White Pine, and TLN library cooperatives. That makes for a total of 11 Kindle Fire tablets! Prizes will be awarded in early July, early August, and early September to the winning libraries, based on MAP circulation totals fr! om the previous month. We will ship the tablet to the winning library via RIDES (or for the winning TLN library, TLN) delivery. We know you already promote MAP to your patrons, and we are very appreciative of that fact. But now you can help win a Kindle Fire tablet for your library by really, really promoting MAP to your patrons! We make promotion easy by providing you with brochures (just updated for 2017-18, now includes accessibility information), posters, bookmarks, a PowerPoint presentation, etc all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ For library cooperative directors, please feel free to share the information about our June/July/August MAP contest with staff in any of your member libraries that may not be subscribed to the Michlib-l listserv. Now, I said we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. Yes, we did. But there are only 11 library cooperatives. What's up with that? We need to give away 12 tablets! So, let's start the party right now by giving away that 12th Kindle Fire tablet. The first library that is a participating MAP library that correctly answers the below *** question, will win that 12th Kindle Fire tablet! Here are the guidelines for today's MAP quiz contest: 1. Your library must be included in the MAP database http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ Every public library in Michigan is included in the MAP database, making every public library eligible to win! 2. More than one library will submit the correct answer, as the question isn't hard, and every person who is reading this message is an information professional. As that is the case, the first library with the correct answer as determined by the time stamp of their email answer back to me, will be declared the winner. 3. TLN and/or its staff are not eligible to win. Here is your question. Drum roll, please: Or for more fun, get warmed up by listening to this tune from the 1960's which, if you are old enough like me, you will remember :( Even if you aren't, you still have to admit that it has a pretty darn good drum roll part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M ***What is the name of the SMALLEST place in Michigan to have not just one but two, destinations in the MAP http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ database??? We are looking for the name of the place in which the two MAP destinations are located, as defined by the USPS. For bonus credit: include the population of this SMALLEST place in your answer. I took that population number from Wikipedia, and as information professionals we know Wikipedia is never wrong, right? :) If you answer the bonus credit question correctly, you get to choose between one of the 11 black, special Kindle Fire tablets, and the 12th really, really special Kindle Fire tablet. The 12th tablet is really, really special because it is blue. Or maybe it is really, really special only if you like blue? Otherwise, it is identical to the other 11. Those are all black. And they are special. But I think I said that already. The contest for that 12th, really, really special Kindle Fire tablet starts right now.

MeL has several student-friendly resources for this oft-requested topic. Britannica and World Book both will allow you to compare basic facts and figures about countries but Britannica is definitely more full-throated when it comes to articles. They do a great job with articles at scalable reading levels including images and video to augment the text that is freely available for students to include in their reports with attribution. Kids InfoBits is geared for preK-5 and while they don't do side-by-side country comparisons or list every country recognized by the UN, they do have in-depth data on approximately 90 countries. They have resources from many sources that they break down into books, biographies, pictures, magazines and news. For Brazil, for example, they have over 500 news articles beginning at middle school reading levels as well as dozens of book excerpts and six brief historical biographies. Gale's Research in Context for middle schoolers is light on geography. If you don't think they'll feel "talked down" to, feel free to steer middle schoolers to Kids InfoBits for country information if they're looking for it, they'll find plenty at their reading level. 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.

This was the text: "Dear Library Director, I am a patron of the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community and would like to be more involved in how our library is run. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?" This was my reply: "Mr. XXXXX, Thank you for your interest in the Genesee District Library. The next Library Board meeting is Monday, June 19th at 5:30pm. Dave" It is interesting to note that the name submitted is not in our Patron database. It also interesting to me that the messages received seem to vary. I wonder if this is someone or group "conducting research" to see if a message in supporting the library receives more responses than a message that states concerns with how the library is run "spending too high". I did consider disregarding the message altogether as it could easily be classified as spam, however, I see no danger is providing publicly available information in my reply. I do not expect any unusual attendance at our meeting as a result but will certainly be on the lookout for suspicious hyperlinks in further correspondence, as suggested already. :o) Dave David Conklin Director Genesee District Library (810) 230-3335 Office (810) 732-1161 Fax dconklin at thegdl.org Genesee District Library Headquarters 4195 W.

After replying with details of the next library board meeting, the next message may be along the lines of "Thank you! Looking forward to next week's board meeting! Attached is a document with a preview of the issues I intend to raise during public comment. The password is..." or "I have shared the following file with you via [service]"... where the document / link in questions would be malicious. A more patient actor would string you along for a decent amount of time before delivering the exploit attempt. I'd advise an extra dose of caution if you choose to proceed further with the email in question. -jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Circulate The Greatest Number Of MAP Passes This Summer, And Win Another One! Message-ID: <1839878753.360156.1495220415741.JavaMail.zimbra at tln.lib.mi.us> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" All, As you are aware, the Michigan Activity Pass program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year http://tln.lib.mi.us/mapcvr/Files/MAP%202017_Release_FINAL.pdf The 10th year of MAP starts next Wednesday, May 24. In order to build in an additional wow! factor, as well as to increase awareness among library staff when it comes to all the great destination venues that can be accessed via the Michigan Activity Pass program, and then of course promoted to library patrons, TLN went shopping. On Black Friday. Or maybe it was on Cyber Monday?! For Kindle Fire tablets. Whichever day, we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. At a very, very good price. Now, the real fun begins...we get to start giving those tablets to participating MAP libraries! For the peak MAP usage months of June, July, and August, we will award one Kindle Fire tablet (5th generation; 7" display; 8gb; quad-core processor; dual cameras; microSD slot for up to 128gb of expandable storage) to the libraries in their respective library cooperatives that circulate the greatest number of MAP passes that month. Four libraries will win in June. This includes libraries in Woodlands, Detroit, Suburban, and Southwest library cooperatives. Four libraries will win in July. This includes libraries in Superiorland, Northland, Mid-Michigan, and Lakeland library cooperatives. Three libraries will win in August. This includes libraries in MidEastern, White Pine, and TLN library cooperatives. That makes for a total of 11 Kindle Fire tablets! Prizes will be awarded in early July, early August, and early September to the winning libraries, based on MAP circulation totals fr! om the previous month. We will ship the tablet to the winning library via RIDES (or for the winning TLN library, TLN) delivery. We know you already promote MAP to your patrons, and we are very appreciative of that fact. But now you can help win a Kindle Fire tablet for your library by really, really promoting MAP to your patrons! We make promotion easy by providing you with brochures (just updated for 2017-18, now includes accessibility information), posters, bookmarks, a PowerPoint presentation, etc all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ For library cooperative directors, please feel free to share the information about our June/July/August MAP contest with staff in any of your member libraries that may not be subscribed to the Michlib-l listserv. Now, I said we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. Yes, we did. But there are only 11 library cooperatives. What's up with that? We need to give away 12 tablets! So, let's start the party right now by giving away that 12th Kindle Fire tablet. The first library that is a participating MAP library that correctly answers the below *** question, will win that 12th Kindle Fire tablet! Here are the guidelines for today's MAP quiz contest: 1. Your library must be included in the MAP database http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ Every public library in Michigan is included in the MAP database, making every public library eligible to win! 2. More than one library will submit the correct answer, as the question isn't hard, and every person who is reading this message is an information professional. As that is the case, the first library with the correct answer as determined by the time stamp of their email answer back to me, will be declared the winner. 3. TLN and/or its staff are not eligible to win. Here is your question. Drum roll, please: Or for more fun, get warmed up by listening to this tune from the 1960's which, if you are old enough like me, you will remember :( Even if you aren't, you still have to admit that it has a pretty darn good drum roll part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M ***What is the name of the SMALLEST place in Michigan to have not just one but two, destinations in the MAP http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ database??? We are looking for the name of the place in which the two MAP destinations are located, as defined by the USPS. For bonus credit: include the population of this SMALLEST place in your answer. I took that population number from Wikipedia, and as information professionals we know Wikipedia is never wrong, right? :) If you answer the bonus credit question correctly, you get to choose between one of the 11 black, special Kindle Fire tablets, and the 12th really, really special Kindle Fire tablet. The 12th tablet is really, really special because it is blue. Or maybe it is really, really special only if you like blue? Otherwise, it is identical to the other 11. Those are all black. And they are special. But I think I said that already. The contest for that 12th, really, really special Kindle Fire tablet starts right now. Send your answer to me via email, preferably before anyone else does. I don't work weekends, so it is likely the winning library will not be announced until Monday. Go!

Send an Email Make a Call Send a Tweet The deadline for the Senate "Dear Appropriator" letters has been extended to May 24th! That means you have three more days to convince your senators to support FY 2018 funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. As of this morning, 35 senators have signed the LSTA letter, and 28 have signed the IAL letter. Not sure if your Senators have signed? Check our handy database! When you call, ask them to "please support federal library funding by signing both the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) "Dear Appropriator" letters being circulated by Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island." Between LSTA and IAL, $213 million in current federal library funding is at risk. ALA's Legislative Action Center has everything you need to identify your Senators and to tell him or her to sign the LSTA and IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters being circulated to protect both of these critical programs in the FY 2018 federal budget.

Congratulations to Saline District Library! We had many answers from libraries all across the state. The correct answer is Garden, Michigan, with a population of 218. Garden has two MAP destinations, Fayette Historic Townsite and Fayette Historic State Park. Coming in a close second was Hickory Corners. It has a population of 322 and two MAP destinations, Gilmore Car Museum and Midwest Miniatures Museum. Remember, MAP Year 10 kicks off this Wednesday, May 24. And 11 libraries will win Kindle Fire tablets during June, July and August as outlined below. Thank you for your participation!

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

The questions below represent the core issues our investigation committee identified as areas needing further research, but we welcome any info you would like to share. - What is the size (i.e., number of items) in your collection and how long have you been circulating games? - How do you shelve/display board games that are available for checkout? - How do you handle returned games with multiple parts? (E.g., do you count every counter, card, playing piece, etc. each time it is returned?) - How do you handle dealing with missing parts when an item is returned? How do you handle replacing missing components? - What issues did you encounter that you weren't expecting when you first launched the collection and how did you deal with these issues? - Do you have any other advice for libraries who are contemplating a circulating board game collection? Thank you for any insights you can provide! Jack Visnaw Librarian Manager - Youth Canton Public Library 1200 S. Canton Center Rd.

To quote TLN Executive Director Jim Pletz: "The Library Network is pleased to continue support for the highly popular Michigan Activity Pass. From humble beginnings in southeast Michigan, featuring a partnership with 30 museums and cultural institutions, the program, with its destination partner, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, now features over 435 sites statewide. With all 11 Michigan library cooperatives participating as contact points with more than 367 public libraries across the state, library patrons are empowered to visit these sites. Last year, the Michigan Activity Pass program returned over $50,000 in value to over 10,000 patrons who used their library card to secure admission to a featured site."

The Michigan eLibrary has pulled together a letter that contains great information for Educators, Parents, and Students about summer resources available to them at no cost! We are asking everyone to distribute a letter from the Michigan eLibrary team to all Michigan families because the resources can help prevent the "summer slide" and also help with test prep. Below is the email I sent out late last week. It contains links to a letter that schools can email out to all of their families, or print a hard copy and send home. If possible, can you please distribute to the GELN list? Thank you! Christine Schneider & Deb Renee Biggs Now that the school year is winding down and everyone is looking forward to a great summer vacation, the MeL team would like to remind everyone of the great resources Michigan residents have free access to through the Michigan eLibrary. Families can find resources to help ease the summer slide, read eBooks, conduct research, create reading lists, and prepare for college, careers, and high stakes tests like the SAT?. To help promote the resources, some of our content providers have created short videos that highlight their database(s) and how students can use them over the summer. We have created a playlist on the MeL YouTube Channel (https://goo.gl/fDC4Be) and a 2017 Summer Resources Letter that can be either emailed (or printed and sent home) to Michigan K-12 families. Please help distribute this letter to as many schools and families as possible. You may also want to subscribe to the MeL YouTube Channel, so you keep up to date on the latest with the Michigan eLibrary! The letter is available in the following formats: ?

Based on techniques developed by the folks behind the production of *War Horse, *you?ll use big pieces of newsprint to create a low-fi version of traditional *bunraku *puppets. In *bunraku, *puppets are essentially life-sized creatures controlled with a team of visible operators, not string. Learn to make them ?breathe,? move, and come to life. We?ll also explore a smaller, tabletop version. Join us for a free workshop on *Wednesday, May 31, from 10am - noon at North Quad on the University of Michigan campus *and see how these super-simple materials can create surprisingly lifelike motion! We?ll even send you back to your library with as much newsprint as you like so you?ll be ready-to-go with your next program. Click here to see a sample tabletop puppet video.

Instead, why not go there via Virtual Reality? All you need is a $10 cardboard box fitted with lenses and your smartphone (headphones suggested). The first 20 who register by 6/1 will leave the workshop with a Google Cardboard viewer for their library! *June 8 - U-M campus - Fashion Hacking - repurposing secondhand clothing* Did you know that some of the largest thrift stores in the U.S. are right in suburban Detroit? They?re bursting at the seams, often offering their secondhand clothing for as little as 99 cents after a few weeks lingering on the rack. Turn those low-cost secondhand finds into new creations for less than the cost of a trip to the fabric store. Sewing is one of the hottest programs in many public libraries! Registration here. For a full schedule of our summer workshops throughout Michigan, visit our Eventbrite page . We'll be in Niles (near the Indiana border), Marquette (Upper Peninsula), Frankenmuth (mid-Michigan), Benzonia (near Traverse City), Houghton Lake (mid-Michigan), Alpena (Northeast Lower Peninsula), Ann Arbor (Southeastern Michigan, and Coopersville (near Grand Rapids). -- Kristin Fontichiaro University of Michigan School of Information 4427 North Quad 105 S.

Measures that Matter Part Two: Detailing the Data-based Story of Public Libraries Tuesday, June 13, 2017 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/measures-that-matter-2.html In the United States, there are a number of national surveys of public libraries and their patrons. While all of these efforts help us tell a data-based story of public libraries, they differ in terms of their samples, what types of data they collect, and how their data are collected, stored, and accessed. During the first webinar in this three-part series, we scanned the landscape of major public library surveys and considered how library data could be used more productively in the future. In this second webinar, we will drill deeper into the concepts of sampling, data types, and data management, and how they impact what we know about public libraries and their patrons. At the end of this webinar, participants will have a greater understanding of various sampling methods, recognize the differences between inputs, outputs, and outcomes, and be aware of the data management practices for various national public library surveys. This webinar is the second in a three-part series about the Institute of Museum and Library Services? and the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies? Measures that Matter initiative, a field-wide discussion of the current state of public library data. All sessions are recorded for you to watch if you aren?t able to participate live.

In February of last year, Kalamazoo Public Library was approached by a representative from Gemstone with an offer to provide us with up to 5,000 KPL-branded tote bags, for free. The deal was we would give these bags to patrons, and use them at public events. The bags would be paid for through advertisements purchased by local businesses. The offer is part of Gemstone?s ?Pay it Forward? Program and they claim they do not financially benefit as all monies collected from paid advertisements are used to print and ship the tote bags. Prior to signing the agreement, I researched Gemstone and found they were in good standing with the Better Business Bureau, did not have any online complaints, and when I contacted some of the libraries they partnered with, the feedback was all positive. As a result, I signed the agreement. We had several issues arise before they even shipped our first box of tote bags. To date we have only received 500 of the 5,000 bags per the agreement and it has been more than a year since we signed. My biggest concern is how many phone calls I have received from local businesses who informed me that Gemstone?s representatives were rude, pushy, and in a few cases told the business owner they worked for KPL. All of this is unacceptable and I have since cancelled my contract with Gemstone and am now working to alert and apologize to our local businesses. The reputation of Kalamazoo Public Library in our community is priceless to me. I feel that Gemstone employees? poor treatment of our local business owners tarnished that reputation, and no amount of free tote bags is worth that. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this company, please contact me.

Now that the school year is winding down and everyone is looking forward to a great summer vacation, the MeL team would like to remind everyone of the great resources Michigan residents have free access to through the Michigan eLibrary. Families can find resources to help ease the summer slide, read eBooks, conduct research, create reading lists, and prepare for college, careers, and high stakes tests like the SAT?. To help promote the resources, some of our content providers have created short videos that highlight their database(s) and how students can use them over the summer. We have created a playlist on the MeL YouTube Channel (https://goo.gl/fDC4Be) and a 2017 Summer Resources Letter that can be either emailed (or printed and sent home) to Michigan K-12 families. Please help distribute this letter to as many schools and families as possible. You may also want to subscribe to the MeL YouTube Channel, so you keep up to date on the latest with the Michigan eLibrary! The letter is available in the following formats: ?

This Month's Wisdom... Lately, our country has been bombarded by upsetting news and chaos on an almost daily basis. Children are hearing this, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation Study, which states that "65% of today's children live in homes where the TV is on half the time, and in 36% of homes, the TV is on all the time. This study also points to research stating that TV in the background has an impact on children because 'the content is not designed for them.'" ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Every Child Ready to Read Toolkit for Serving Early Childhood Educators [ECRR Toolkit]By now, many of you have received the download for the ECRR Toolkit for Serving Early Childhood Educators, thanks to the Library of Michigan, with funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. 102 public libraries requested and received the kit, and the Library of Michigan still has 8 available for public libraries on a first come, first serve basis. If you wish to obtain a download to this product, write Cathy Lancaster at: lancasterc5 at michigan.gov. I realize some of you may have already gone through it page-by-page, but for those of you who have not had time to explore it yet, I would like to share a little information about the kit. This was a product that came out of ALA's ECRR Oversight Committee that I chair, however I was not chair when the product was first developed. Either way, I needed to write a review of it when it was published, so I have had a chance to explore it in detail. This is the second toolkit that has been developed since the second edition of the Every Child Ready to Read Project was released. The other toolkit was a product for those working with Spanish-speaking communities. This toolkit is aimed at public library staff as a how-to manual to train early childhood educators. Early childhood educators here include: licensed home child care providers, child care center staff, Head Start teachers, preschool teachers, and other child care professionals. This toolkit addresses what it means to partner with and train early childhood educators. (ECE's) One of the first things the authors caution users is to check if their state has a trainer approval process and whether one needs to meet the standards for providing early learning training, including any content or length requirements. ECE's will want any credit they can obtain and possibly need for licensing standards. As with the manual, a powerpoint presentation is included and it is editable. If the entire presentation were done, it would be two hours in length (though again, content can be adjusted according to the length of time you have.) It is recommended that you speak with the host or organization head to get an idea of the level of knowledge and experience of the participants. Often you will find there is quite a range. Because you will include your own book and activity examples, the presentation should be interesting to a novice, or even the most experienced educators. It is also a good idea to provide opportunities for participants to share their own experiences. The kit includes a group of videos showing child care providers interacting with the children in their care, illustrating some of the points being made. The powerpoint presentation includes complete notes for each slide so that you have all the material you need to do the actual presentation. There is also an area where you can add your own library information about resources and programs, and a section on ice breakers. Most helpful is a link that takes you to each state's early learning standards for language and literacy. Here are the links for the state of Michigan: Michigan Early Childhood Standards of Quality for Infant and Toddler Programs (Revised March 2013) Birth to 3 years Early Childhood Standards of Quality for Prekindergarten (2005) Finally, there is a section in the new ECRR Toolkit on assessments and evaluations so if you wish, you can do a pre-and post-assessment. I hope all of you who received this download will be able to use this material in the future! ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Raymond]It's a Dog's World! I am not really sure why all three recommended books below are about dogs, since I am a cat lover, but here goes! Raymond. Yann & Gwendal Le Bec. Candlewick Press, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-8950-6. $16.99. You know you are in for a treat when you see Raymond on the cover walking on two legs (instead of four), carrying what appears to be a cup of Starbucks coffee (the cup has his name on it) and a copy of Dogue (Vogue) magazine under his front paw. And on the back cover, "Little dog, big dreams." Raymond has a very happy dog life with his family, but, one day, while watching the family eat at the table, he gets the idea that he should sit at the table also because that is what "families do together." Each day he becomes more and more like a human and even begins to walk on two feet. As he watches his family heading out to work (and school) one day, he decides he too needs a job, and gets hired by Dogue magazine as a reporter. Eventually overworked and missing his family, he finally decides that his dog's life was not so bad after all! [Louie] Poor Louie. Tony Facile. Candlewick, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-7636-5828-1. $16.99. Louie, just like Raymond above, has the perfect dog life, but, at the beginning of the book, we see that he was attempting to run away from home. Why? Well, because they started to appear at his house while his Mom entertained her friends. They turned out to be babies who pulled on Louie's ears and squeezed his tummy. Then, all of the sudden things began to get weird at his house. His dinner was no longer on the table with the rest of the family, but on the floor. On walks, he was no longer protected from the rain, and bedtime wasn't fun anymore either because his parents were preoccupied coming up with names beginning with the letter "P." Mom's belly started growing and wait a minute -- the family was buying TWO of everything! Louie could handle one of those creatures, but certainly not two! That was when Louie decided to run away from home. The twist at the end of the story will be surprising for adults and children alike. Yes, this is a book to recommend to a child who must adjust to a new sibling, but it is also just a fun story even for those not expecting a new baby. Wolf in the Snow. Matthew Cordell. Feiwel & Friends, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-250-07636-6. $17.99. This is a wordless book that you can "read", yes "READ", to children in preschool storytime. It is very easy to tell the story through the expressive pictures, and the only words are the sounds of wolves and the family dog. This is an extremely touching story which begins long before the title page, and ends with a comforting family scene that echoes the beginning of the book. A young girl rescues a baby wolf that gets lost from its pack in a deep snow storm and returns him/her to the wolf pack. When she can no longer can go any further in the snow, the wolf pack returns the favor and howl so that the family dog and family can find the young girl and rescue her. A tender, heart-warming story that probably will make my "Mock Caldecott" list. [Wolf] ________________________________ Websites of the Month [Activities image]Here are some great websites to recommend to preschool teachers and other early childhood educators. And, the great thing is, there are also ideas you can use! 1. Teach Preschool by Deborah Stewart - Sections include motor skills, sensory play, and ideas for art activities, STEM and literacy activities including circle time, flannelboard and storytelling suggestions. 2. Pre-Kinders by Karen Cox - Though you can find much on this site, probably the most popular section is the incredible list of printables. For example, you can print out nursery rhyme posters for a baby or toddler storytime, or a "Wheels of the Bus" take home book. Literacy, math, science and music printables are included. The "themes" section will be helpful for planning storytimes, and there are tons of ideas under the "Learning Activities" section including literacy, math, science, art and music ideas. 3. Hands On As We Grow - Though there are many curriculum areas at this site, this is most useful for art and craft ideas. My favorite sections are toddler activities, preschool activities and kid art projects. 4. DLTK Teach is a very rich site, but my favorite section is their "Children's Songs, Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes" activities. Included are: the words/lyrics, free printable coloring pages, craft ideas, puppets, felt board characters, word wall word worksheets, picture crossword puzzles and other activity sheets to go with the songs, rhymes and stories! ________________________________ Reflections... [kids on ipad]As I write this newsletter, the news today is about 22 people that have been killed, (many children) in Manchester, England after hearing a concert by Ariana Grande (a young artist very popular with young children). Many young people are still missing or are injured. How do children deal with this news of others, young like them, who have been killed while attending what should have been a happy event, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many? Lately, our country has been bombarded by upsetting news and chaos on an almost daily basis. Children are hearing this, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation Study, which states that "65% of today's children live in homes where the TV is on half the time, and in 36% of homes, the TV is on all the time. This study also points to research stating that TV in the background has an impact on children because 'the content is not designed for them.' " Some libraries and schools actually promote "Screen Free Week" which is celebrated every year on May 1 - 7. However, that one week does not answer what happens the other 51 weeks of the year. How do we help young children with the daily barrage of disturbing news? Here are two sites that have very useful information for parents: * PBS Parents Experts recommend that parents keep the news off around young children and that they develop age-appropriate ways to talk to their children about news they might hear. This site develops tips by age groups: 0-2; 3-5; 6-8; and 9-11. For each age group, subjects covered are: what that age group understands about the news; signs of stress; media recommendations; and communication strategies. * Common Sense Media This site also mentions tips according to ages. For all kids, they recommend that parents should consider their own reactions and take action by helping those affected, or attending protests and rallies. For preschool children, they recommend not to listen to news in front of the children. For children ages 8 - 12, one should consider the child's maturity and temperament; be available for questions and conversations and talk about and filter news coverage. ________________________________ ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

Yann & Gwendal Le Bec. Candlewick Press, 2017. > ISBN: 978-0-7636-8950-6. $16.99. > > You know you are in for a treat when you see Raymond on the cover walking on two legs (instead of four), carrying what appears to be a cup of Starbucks coffee (the cup has his name on it) and a copy of Dogue (Vogue) magazine under his front paw. And on the back cover, ?Little dog, big dreams.? Raymond has a very happy dog life with his family, but, one day, while watching the family eat at the table, he gets the idea that he should sit at the table also because that is what ?families do together.? Each day he becomes more and more like a human and even begins to walk on two feet. As he watches his family heading out to work (and school) one day, he decides he too needs a job, and gets hired by Dogue magazine as a reporter. Eventually overworked and missing his family, he finally decides that his dog?s life was not so bad after all! > > > Poor Louie. Tony Facile. Candlewick, 2017. > ISBN: 978-0-7636-5828-1. $16.99. > > Louie, just like Raymond above, has the perfect dog life, but, at the beginning of the book, we see that he was attempting to run away from home. Why? Well, because they started to appear at his house while his Mom entertained her friends. They turned out to be babies who pulled on Louie?s ears and squeezed his tummy. Then, all of the sudden things began to get weird at his house. His dinner was no longer on the table with the rest of the family, but on the floor. On walks, he was no longer protected from the rain, and bedtime wasn?t fun anymore either because his parents were preoccupied coming up with names beginning with the letter ?P.? Mom?s belly started growing and wait a minute -- the family was buying TWO of everything! Louie could handle one of those creatures, but certainly not two! That was when Louie decided to run away from home. The twist at the end of the story will be surprising for adults and children alike. Yes, this is a book to recommend to a child who must adjust to a new sibling, but it is also just a fun story even for those not expecting a new baby. > > Wolf in the Snow. Matthew Cordell. Feiwel & Friends, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-250-07636-6. $17.99. > > This is a wordless book that you can ?read?, yes ?READ?, to children in preschool storytime. It is very easy to tell the story through the expressive pictures, and the only words are the sounds of wolves and the family dog. This is an extremely touching story which begins long before the title page, and ends with a comforting family scene that echoes the beginning of the book. A young girl rescues a baby wolf that gets lost from its pack in a deep snow storm and returns him/her to the wolf pack. When she can no longer can go any further in the snow, the wolf pack returns the favor and howl so that the family dog and family can find the young girl and rescue her. A tender, heart-warming story that probably will make my ?Mock Caldecott? list. > > > Websites of the Month > Here are some great websites to recommend to preschool teachers and other early childhood educators. And, the great thing is, there are also ideas you can use! > > 1. Teach Preschool by Deborah Stewart - Sections include motor skills, sensory play, and ideas for art activities, STEM and literacy activities including circle time, flannelboard and storytelling suggestions. > > 2. Pre-Kinders by Karen Cox ? Though you can find much on this site, probably the most popular section is the incredible list of printables. For example, you can print out nursery rhyme posters for a baby or toddler storytime, or a ?Wheels of the Bus? take home book. Literacy, math, science and music printables are included. The ?themes? section will be helpful for planning storytimes, and there are tons of ideas under the ?Learning Activities? section including literacy, math, science, art and music ideas. > > 3. Hands On As We Grow - Though there are many curriculum areas at this site, this is most useful for art and craft ideas. My favorite sections are toddler activities, preschool activities and kid art projects. > > 4. DLTK Teach is a very rich site, but my favorite section is their ?Children?s Songs, Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes? activities. Included are: the words/lyrics, free printable coloring pages, craft ideas, puppets, felt board characters, word wall word worksheets, picture crossword puzzles and other activity sheets to go with the songs, rhymes and stories! > > Reflections... > As I write this newsletter, the news today is about 22 people that have been killed, (many children) in Manchester, England after hearing a concert by Ariana Grande (a young artist very popular with young children). Many young people are still missing or are injured. > > How do children deal with this news of others, young like them, who have been killed while attending what should have been a happy event, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many? > > Lately, our country has been bombarded by upsetting news and chaos on an almost daily basis. Children are hearing this, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation Study, which states that ?65% of today's children live in homes where the TV is on half the time, and in 36% of homes, the TV is on all the time. This study also points to research stating that TV in the background has an impact on children because ?the content is not designed for them.? ? > > Some libraries and schools actually promote ?Screen Free Week? which is celebrated every year on May 1 ? 7. > > However, that one week does not answer what happens the other 51 weeks of the year. How do we help young children with the daily barrage of disturbing news? > > Here are two sites that have very useful information for parents: > > PBS Parents > Experts recommend that parents keep the news off around young children and that they develop age-appropriate ways to talk to their children about news they might hear. This site develops tips by age groups: 0-2; 3-5; 6-8; and 9-11. For each age group, subjects covered are: what that age group understands about the news; signs of stress; media recommendations; and communication strategies. > > Common Sense Media > This site also mentions tips according to ages. For all kids, they recommend that parents should consider their own reactions and take action by helping those affected, or attending protests and rallies. For preschool children, they recommend not to listen to news in front of the children. For children ages 8 ? 12, one should consider the child?s maturity and temperament; be available for questions and conversations and talk about and filter news coverage. > > About Sue > Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children?s literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

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

In the first hour, Bryan Alexander will host our special opening panel discussion, joined by Mnar Muhawesh, Doug Belshaw, and Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe. Then we will have 14 practitioner-led sessions that look deeply at the foundational relationship of libraries and librarians to media, information, and digital literacy. Bryan will also give a closing keynote at the end of the three-hour mini-conference. More information on the keynote panelists, plus the titles and presenters of the individual sessions, is listed below. We invite all library professionals, educators, students, and others to participate this event. Register and you will also be sent a special list of resources and links for this event and the topic, curated by our keynote panelists and our speakers. This is a free event, being held online. REGISTER HERE to attend live or to receive the recording links afterwards. Please also join the Library 2.0 network to be kept updated on this and future events. What does "digital literacy" mean in an era shaped by the Internet, social media, and staggering quantities of information? How is it that the fulfillment of human hopes for an open knowledge society seem to have resulted in both increased skepticism of, and casualness with, information? What tools and understanding can library professionals bring to a world that seems to be dominated by fake news? In this Library 2.107 mini-conference, we start with the foundational relationship of libraries and librarians to media, information, and now digital literacy, and then we ask some pointed questions. How should library and information professionals address the issues of fake news, propaganda, and biased research? What technical skills are required for critical thinking in the digital age? As learners increasingly move from just consuming information to also socially producing it, what are the new requisite skills of critical thinking and decision-making? What are appropriate uses for social media when conducting research? What is digital citizenship in a global, globally-diverse, and often globally-fragmented world? What work on digital literacy is available, what frameworks already support these efforts, what are the perspectives of the leading thinkers? Evette M.

Based in part on the results of a survey distributed earlier this year, I have compiled a list of 571 public library systems in North America that offer movement-based programs on an ongoing, recurring basis. I am asking you to take a look at the results for Michigan, and to please send additions and retractions: http://www.letsmovelibraries.org/map/Michigan/ Particularly lacking in this directory are annual or seasonal programs ? programs offered less frequently than once a month ? as well as ?library of things? initiatives that encourage movement and physical activity (e.g. checking out state park passes, bicycles, nature kits, etc.). To incentivize participation in this initiative, individuals who submit additions or retractions to this directory during the months of June or July 2017 will be entered into a drawing for one of five $50 Amazon gift cards. Please share this message with others who may be interested in this project. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your feedback. The Let?s Move in Libraries project is focused on understanding how public libraries create opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities to move and be active.

URL: From lvwdirector at llcoop.org Wed May 31 14:20:06 2017 From: lvwdirector at llcoop.org (Hope Nobel) Date: Wed, 31 May 2017 14:20:06 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] Looking for a Friends of the Library expert! Message-ID: <002201d2da3a$87f11dd0$97d35970$@llcoop.org> Good afternoon, everyone - We are working on an agreement between our Friends and the Library, and I need someone who can attend a meeting to provide an outside, nonpartisan perspective on what a healthy version of this relationship looks like. Can any of you make a recommendation? An individual with experience in this area who is well versed in best practices and structural integrity of the Friends/Library partnership would be ideal. This is a rural area, with very little professional experience represented on the Friends board, so it's essential that our guest be able to speak to the group about professionalism without danger of intimidation or condescension (tricky, I know). A little background information: We're blessed with an active Friends group that raises an impressive amount of funds annually. Unfortunately, the historical relationship between the Friends and the Library has involved an exceptionally high level of support from the Library to the Friends and the blurring of many lines, resulting in expectations that are unfair to the library and to my staff. My efforts to correct areas of dysfunction have been ignored when approached tactfully, and have been the occasion of offence when stated with more clarity. There are broad areas of expectation that are neither appropriate nor realistic, and I need another voice to come on board and help us see where change is needed. If any of you have experienced similar situations and have advice for me, I welcome that as well as speaker recommendations. Thank you, Hope E. Nobel, M.S.L.S. Director Tamarack District Library P.
