We had exactly one trick or treater at our house, which represented a whopping 50% decrease from our historical, annual average of two. The cold weather must have served to keep the other little one at home :) By now you may have grown weary of the numerous sugary temptations that present themselves in your home, at the grocery store, around your workplace, etc at this time of year. We have a cure for that: MORE CHOCOLATE!!! To that end, I am pleased to present our newest MAP partner, in the form of the Sanders and Morley Candy Factory Tour! https://www.sanderscandy.com/factory-tours I have been recruiting them since the years when MAP stood for Museum Adventure Pass, when the program featured just 30 destinations in libraries in the six county metro Detroit area only. Finally, success! It only took 10 years :) Of course, prior to embarking on the Sanders and Morley Candy Factory Tour you will want to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPzLBSBzPI Enjoy!

The grant seeks to be a catalyst for educating students about how math and science are used for the benefit of humanity and to provide seed money for creation of library programs that will make a lasting impression. Past grants have allowed several Midwestern libraries to develop science kit circulating collections and give students access to prepared experiments and science materials that they might not encounter in the traditional classroom. Additionally, these libraries have created educational programs that allow students to conduct experiments at the library with the guidance of a librarian. This is a program of IEEE-Region 4 (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Visit http://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/4/SKPL-Apply.php for application forms, grant guidelines and to learn about the successes of past grant recipients.

The 9-day, 8-night tour includes stops at Washington, D.C.; Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, Montpelier, and the Gettysburg Battlefield. The Founding of America Tour takes place May 3-11, 2018, and departs from the HSM offices in Lansing, Michigan, with two pickup stops in Ann Arbor and Toledo. A detailed itinerary is attached to this e-mail. It can also be downloaded from HSM's website: hsmichigan.org. Reservations can be made by mail, going online, or by calling (800) 692-1828. Founding of America motor coach tour participants will have the chance to discover how the United States originated and how it was sustained. Tour highlights include a guided tour of our nation's capital; exploring George Washington's Mt. Vernon; in-depth visits to Historic Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg; the opportunity to experience Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and Montpelier, the home of James Madison; and a tour of America's most hallowed ground-the Gettysburg Battlefield-which will have a special emphasis on the participation of Michigan regiments. The tour fee is $1,995 per person and includes motor coach transportation; all lodging; all dinners and breakfasts; and all admission fees, taxes, and gratuities. Historical Society of Michigan membership is required; memberships start at $25. Price is based on double occupancy. The registration deadline is March 22, 2018. The Michiganders on the Road motor coach tour program was developed by HSM to allow participants to experience the culture and heritage of all 50 states. The excursions are not "cookie cutter" tours. Each and every tour is planned, executed and guided by Robert Myers, HSM's assistant director for education programs and events. When planning the adventures, Myers keeps in mind what history enthusiasts look for in their road trips so that the experience meets expectations. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

The Library of Michigan is fortunate to be working with a K12 Education Specialist who then works directly with school librarians, teachers and administrators in PreK-12 public and private schools around the state. She is doing amazing work helping educators to realize how important MeL?s quality, vetted digital resources can be to preparing students for college and career. In support of parents who are their children?s first teachers and who maintain an active role in their children?s formal education, our K12 Specialist has added a Parent Resources section to the MeL Teachers portal. In this section, parents can find an explanation of what ?subscription databases? actually are, and how to use them, a link to the MeL Parent Page with selected quality, free websites that provide support, and direct links and information on how MeL?s College Bound center as well as MeL Teens and MeL Kids portals can be successfully used by parents with their children. Parents, especially Homeschool parents would want to also check out the Training Toolkit in MeL Teachers. On it they can learn more about MeL resources, access MeL training and get an overview of training materials. There are links to workbooks, infosheeets, slide decks and resource specific videos. Brought to you by Deb Renee Biggs and Sonya Schryer Norris, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan 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.

HSM Magazines is currently looking for writers interested in writing for Michigan History magazine's two page spread, "Remember the Time." "Remember the Time" is a reflective, essay-like article reminiscing on personal memories of the author, ranging from any topic and subject matter within our writers' guidelines. Each submission should be between 700-1,000 words. These articles are written from the first-person point of view and focus on a single event in the author's life, such as an experience or outing from childhood, college, or work. The memory or event must be Michigan-based and should take place before 1982. Please first send a query letter about your article idea. We do not repeat topics and/or subject matter, and this will prevent your writing an article that has already been covered in one of HSM's magazines.

If you have never seen this program, [ http://lmww2.com/ | Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words ] , I encourage you to have Larry come to your library; which he would love to do. In Their Own Words has drawn between 80 and 150 attendees per event. An estimated 4,600 people have come to hear the reflections and experiences of WWII veterans that Larry has interviewed. As our former director stated ?We deeply appreciate the dedication shown by Mr. Larry Martin for bringing these stories alive and are honored to be a partner in his efforts. Larry brings a wealth of knowledge to the program and has recorded scores of interviews with veterans over the past ten years.

Michigan Ave., Jackson, MI 49201 Phone:(517) 905-1344 From emoore at uproc.lib.mi.us Mon Nov 6 12:16:19 2017 From: emoore at uproc.lib.mi.us (Ellen Moore) Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2017 12:16:19 -0500 Subject: [Michlib-l] digital signage compiled responses Message-ID: <5ed44bd73ebfbe80e4d01687f110010f.squirrel@www.uproc.lib.mi.us> Thank you to all who responded to my question about digital signage. Below is a compilation of the responses I received. Ellen Moore Peter White Public Library ********************************************** >From Rebekah Craft Associate Director Baldwin Public Library We recently installed a wall-mounted, touch screen display. We purchased interactive software from Connected Sign for it. They designed a template and now we update it with our calendar of events, program/services slides, map, and staff/board contact info. The display also has a spot for a CNN RSS feed, our Instagram feed and current weather. Here are some screenshots and a photo of the display in place. It's very popular with our patrons and staff and is used frequently. *** Further information from Rebekah, in answer to my follow-up questions: We purchased and ELO Touchscreen. It's a monitor with a computer built into the back. It's fairly rugged. I imagine it would crack if someone were to hit it with a hammer, but it stands up to finger tapping just fine. I can get the pricing details on this, but I think the monitor and mount cost around $4,000. I'm pretty sure we went higher end with this. The monitor is 42" (23"x39") We were very concerned about it being handicap accessible. We hung it at a lower height to accommodate this. The top is at 75" and the bottom is at 36". We have not had any toddlers run into it yet. It plugs into the wall. Our contractors installed a wall outlet with ethernet and power. To add events to the display, I download a CSV file of events from our online events calendar. I then reformat it slightly and paste the rows into the XLS file that ConnectedSign created for us. This file plugs into the event display, so I have to use their set columns. I pull out the following columns from our event calendar CSV file: event date, event time, event title, event description, registration required, room. I do have to label each program with a letter (A=adult event, Y=youth event, T=teen event, R=rental) and this displays each type of event with a separate color. ********************************* Cindy Krueger Marketing & Outreach Dept. of Natural Resources The Michigan History Museum is using BrightSign devices. It is my understanding they can be attached to any TV/monitor/display. I am interested in seeing any replies you get since I?m also looking for something that could be used in the Dept. of Natural Resources visitor centers and museums. ************************* Dillon Geschel Portage Lake District For the past few months, we have been using our teleconference equipment, which is on wheels, to display event information when it's not otherwise in use. Because the equipment looks out of place no matter where we place it, we decided to instead by a flatscreen TV that could be mounted to the wall near our Circ desk. It was actually mounted last night (funny to get your email today!). Jean from the co-op helped us find a portable digital media player that hooks up to the TV, and once a USB with image files is plugged in, you can play the slideshow. It worked fine on the teleconference equipment, and I'll be trying to set it up with our new TV this afternoon. I will keep you updated on how it works! If it is received well, I'd like to someday have more screens with event info throughout the library. Our event posters take up so much space that sometimes patrons complain about the clutter on our circ desks.. Hopefully moving everything to a screen will help! **************** I'm a big fan of the Screenly OSE solution. You can find online at: https://www.screenly.io/ose/ This is a FREE (as in beer) solution, but they also offer a PAID solution. We use the Screenly OSE solution at Northville, and have had no major issues with it. It runs off a Raspberry Pi device (available for about $40), which is VERY small and easy to hide behind a 42" LCD screen mounted to the wall. The whole system exists on a separate STAFF ONLY network, which allows us to easily administrate it via a small webpage on our network. We still use Power Point to create the info, but save the file as an MP4 (video) file, and upload that Video file to the Screenly OSE device. It can update in real time, and requires little regular maintenance to keep functional. Hopefully this helps. If you need more info, let me know. Michael McEvoy mmcevoy at northvillelibrary.org Technology Coordinator Northville District Library ************************************ For what it?s worth, my previous library had tvs hooked on the wall that could play the regular tv channels and switch to a certain channel and it would play the slideshow of library events that we set up. There was a computer in the server room that we loaded the powerpoint of events onto and I believe it broadcast on the city's information channel (that they broadcast their city council meetings on). We were able to set a certain station to play on a certain channel on the tvs in the library, maybe with receivers? Sorry, I can't be more specific but I wasn't involved with that aspect of the library. We had all the tvs switched to a news station when Obama was inaugurated and we watched all the events throughout the day. I liked the flexibility of being able to switch over to a notable news event and then switch back to our calendar of events. The only problem that I remember we had was when our slideshow would stop and we'd have to restart it again. I hope this helps. Janelle Martin Head of Fiction Marguerite deAngeli Library Lapeer District Library 921 W. Nepessing St. Lapeer, MI 48446 ************************************ We have been using a system similar to yours, only we made ours web-based but they look like a PP show - just a bunch of static slides. About a month ago I picked up a little device called a Google Chromebit. It's about $90 and is a tiny little computer on the order of a chromecast that runs the Chrome OS. Google also has a system for using and managing the Chromebit as a digital sign - take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MWec-DVB44 Pretty much anything you can show in a chrome browser can be put on your digital sign, including a Google Presentation. And the content can be scheduled remotely. The only caveat that I have found is you have to buy a $30 device management license for each Chromebit from Google, but it's for the life of the device. We are still playing with the one we have, but from what I have seen, it's way better than just a PC running powerpoint. The only possible drawback that I can think of is that they are wireless, so if you put them in a place where the signal is not the best, it's not going to work. Apparently you can use a Ethernet-to-USB converter on them. Don't hesitate to call if you want to know more. Hope this helps - Mark Ehle Computer Support Librarian Willard Library Battle Creek, MI ************************************** We have a 36" TV that we use as our digital signage. It has a SD card slot that we put a handful of JPG files on and run as a slideshow. We update it probably once a week or whenever our programming changes. It also has a long HDMI cable ran to it that we could hook a computer to if we wanted to stream anything from the web or run a PowerPoint presentation. It is on a rolling stand that came from displays2go.com however they can be purchased from amazon or other vendors as well. It was a relatively inexpensive solution and works well. On a side note they also make small HDMI sticks that are essentially mini computers that plug directly into the TV. Most are under $150. Couple this with a larger TV and you could have a streaming display for well under $1000. We may go this route in our new building depending on what are budget allows. Chris Knight Technology Coordinator Otsego County Library 989-732-5841 ********************************* We have large TV screen on a shelf against a wall that is connected via Chromecast to a laptop designated for that purpose. It's connected to a private wireless network, so that patrons can't access it. We make slides in Google Slides that we cast to the screen. We also streamed web-based coverage of the solar eclipse in August. We sometimes have issues with the Chromecast connecting to the screen, but for the most part it is very easy to use, and multiple people can access it to make changes. You'll need to purchase a Chromecast device. I wonder if it's too far above eye level for people to see (it's on top of the shelf), but we needed something to support the weight of the screen. This also keeps the screen from getting scratched or smudged. Hope that's helpful! Good luck.

Message-ID: <1996094391.138723.1510068667351.JavaMail.zimbra@tln.lib.mi.us> All, As you are probably aware, we have a couple of publishing partners out there who are helping us spread the word when it comes to all the great things concerning the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. As part of this relationship, Michigan libraries also get the opportunity to purchase their books and dvd's at a discount. A win-win! Let's get your orders to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8, please. Having said that, below is a list of the 11 items we are offering in terms of bulk order opportunities from these two publishers. I am also including three other titles that were suggested by libraries around the state. Finally, there is a 15th title which I just saw come across my radar screen that sounded interesting, and not that easy to get. So I added it to the mix, too. Please let me know by NUMBER, which one(s) we should order for your library. Please note that there will be a $1.00 per item charge assessed by TLN in order to partially offset the cost of this project. Any shipping charges will be distributed among the ordering libraries. Books/dvd's will be shipped to your library via TLN or RIDES delivery, as appropriate. For RIDES, invoices will be sent with your shipment. TLN libraries will be billed in the customary beginning of the month fashion. Finally, please include your library's RIDES code in your reply to me: 1. BRAND NEW UTR BOOK: Under the Radar Michigan: The Next 50. These guys need no introduction http://utrmichigan.com/ Pub date March 6, 2018. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00. This is so new that it isn't even shown on the UTR store site yet! But, TLN has the connections... 2. THE ORIGINAL UTR BOOK: Under the Michigan: The First 50. Pub date November 4, 2014. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00 3. UTR DVD Season One: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 4. UTR DVD Season Two: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 5. UTR DVD Season Three: List price $40.00. TLN price $30.00 (Note: there are 23 episodes included on this dvd, as opposed to the standard 13 episodes; hence, the higher price) 6. UTR DVD Season Four: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 7. UTR DVD Season Five: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 8. UTR DVD Season Six: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 9. UTR DVD Season Seven: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 Again, this is so new that it doesn't appear on the UTR store site! Another MAP publishing partner is Benson's Adventures http://bensonsadventures.com/ The two public school teachers in this venture, Tracy and Shannon, do a lot of work to promote MAP in schools not only where they teach, but all over Michigan. Here are their two youth oriented titles: 10. Benson's Adventures in Michigan: Book 1. List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 11. Benson's Seasonal Adventures in Michigan: Book 2 (June, 2017 release) List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 Here are a few "would it be possible for TLN to coordinate a bulk order for this" requests I've received from libraries around the state. I don't know whether we will get discounts for these. Given the nature of the publications, I doubt it. If we can, we will. Both are expensive. Two are blue, one is green. Personally I prefer blue. Given the way the blue part of the equation has gone this year, though I don't know how much enthusiasm or rise either of those will generate. If you order both 13 and 14 you will get the bundled price: 12. Victory for MSU: A 120-year History of Spartan Men's Basketball http://www.dbusiness.com/daily-news/Annual-2017/Book-on-Michigan-State-Universitys-Basketball-Program-Debuts-Forward-by-Greg-Kelser/ List price $59.99. 13. Rise Again: Jim Harbaugh (brand new) https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 14. Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind: Jim Harbaugh https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 15. 4 Detroit: Four Chefs, Four Courses, Four Seasons http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/mark-kurlyandchik/2017/11/07/four-detroit-cookbook-recipes-new-restaurants-takoi-gold-cash-gold-selden-standard-supino/831142001/ and https://noramodern.com/products/4detroit List price $46.00. I like the fact that $5.00 from the sale of every book goes to Gleaners Community Food Bank. Let's support our MAP partner publishers, and bring lots of enjoyment to your patrons, by sending your orders for these (mostly) discounted books and dvd's to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8.

All, As you are probably aware, we have a couple of publishing partners out there who are helping us spread the word when it comes to all the great things concerning the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. As part of this relationship, Michigan libraries also get the opportunity to purchase their books and dvd's at a discount. A win-win! Let's get your orders to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8, please. Having said that, below is a list of the 11 items we are offering in terms of bulk order opportunities from these two publishers. I am also including three other titles that were suggested by libraries around the state. Finally, there is a 15th title which I just saw come across my radar screen that sounded interesting, and not that easy to get. So I added it to the mix, too. Please let me know by NUMBER, which one(s) we should order for your library. Please note that there will be a $1.00 per item charge assessed by TLN in order to partially offset the cost of this project. Any shipping charges will be distributed among the ordering libraries. Books/dvd's will be shipped to your library via TLN or RIDES delivery, as appropriate. For RIDES, invoices will be sent with your shipment. TLN libraries will be billed in the customary beginning of the month fashion. Finally, please include your library's RIDES code in your reply to me: 1. BRAND NEW UTR BOOK: Under the Radar Michigan: The Next 50. These guys need no introduction http://utrmichigan.com/ Pub date March 6, 2018. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00. This is so new that it isn't even shown on the UTR store site yet! But, TLN has the connections... 2. THE ORIGINAL UTR BOOK: Under the Michigan: The First 50. Pub date November 4, 2014. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00 3. UTR DVD Season One: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 4. UTR DVD Season Two: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 5. UTR DVD Season Three: List price $40.00. TLN price $30.00 (Note: there are 23 episodes included on this dvd, as opposed to the standard 13 episodes; hence, the higher price) 6. UTR DVD Season Four: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 7. UTR DVD Season Five: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 8. UTR DVD Season Six: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 9. UTR DVD Season Seven: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 Again, this is so new that it doesn't appear on the UTR store site! Another MAP publishing partner is Benson's Adventures http://bensonsadventures.com/ The two public school teachers in this venture, Tracy and Shannon, do a lot of work to promote MAP in schools not only where they teach, but all over Michigan. Here are their two youth oriented titles: 10. Benson's Adventures in Michigan: Book 1. List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 11. Benson's Seasonal Adventures in Michigan: Book 2 (June, 2017 release) List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 Here are a few "would it be possible for TLN to coordinate a bulk order for this" requests I've received from libraries around the state. I don't know whether we will get discounts for these. Given the nature of the publications, I doubt it. If we can, we will. Both are expensive. Two are blue, one is green. Personally I prefer blue. Given the way the blue part of the equation has gone this year, though I don't know how much enthusiasm or rise either of those will generate. If you order both 13 and 14 you will get the bundled price: 12. Victory for MSU: A 120-year History of Spartan Men's Basketball http://www.dbusiness.com/daily-news/Annual-2017/Book-on-Michigan-State-Universitys-Basketball-Program-Debuts-Forward-by-Greg-Kelser/ List price $59.99. 13. Rise Again: Jim Harbaugh (brand new) https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 14. Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind: Jim Harbaugh https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 15. 4 Detroit: Four Chefs, Four Courses, Four Seasons http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/mark-kurlyandchik/2017/11/07/four-detroit-cookbook-recipes-new-restaurants-takoi-gold-cash-gold-selden-standard-supino/831142001/ and https://noramodern.com/products/4detroit List price $46.00. I like the fact that $5.00 from the sale of every book goes to Gleaners Community Food Bank. Let's support our MAP partner publishers, and bring lots of enjoyment to your patrons, by sending your orders for these (mostly) discounted books and dvd's to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8.

Please excuse any cross duplication.... The Ypsilanti District Library is planning to offer a shredding event to our patrons next spring, using Allshred Services. If you have held such an event, either with Allshred or another shredding company, we could use your help in setting this up. Did you provide shredding for free? If you charged, did you charge everyone? Or just those who brought bags or boxes past a certain quantity threshold? If you did not charge but asked for donations, how did you set that up? How did you limit the event to only your patrons? Check ID? Require a library card? Our event will be 3 hours long, with a truck capacity of 9,000 lbs., or roughly 300 copy paper boxes full. If your capacity was similar, did you come close to filling up the truck? If you have any other words of wisdom for us, please share! Thanks for any help you can provide. Please direct replies to librarian Christy Havens, havens at ypsilibrary.org 734-482-4110 x 1375 We will be happy to compile a list of responses if there is interest. Paula C.

Message-ID: We didn't just hear about MeL database usage and requests in the past survey. We also discovered how library staff around Michigan prefer to learn about the databases MeL offers. We asked the 426 survey participants: "How do you prefer to learn about a new database or product at your library? (Select all that apply)". 407 people responded and this is what they chose: 1. Recorded webinars (251 responses) 2. In-person training session (195 responses) 3. Online modules (177 responses) 4. An ongoing, dedicated MeL-resource specialist (103) 5. Other: (37) When asked "are there any MeL databases you would like to learn more about?" the top three responses were: 1. K-12 resources (6 responses) 2. Business resources (5 responses) 3. Learning Express Library (5 responses) While these are not fully comprehensive results of all the libraries in Michigan, we can point you to some recorded webinars for MeL databases right now, including K-12, Business, and Learning Express Library aids. On the MeL.org homepage, the left hand menu of MeL Features has a link to the Promotion & Training page. Choose whichever area you would like to learn more about, like Learning Express Library for example, on the left-hand menu of that page to go to marketing materials, videos, and past webinars. Always feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like any further training. Many thanks to Kathy Kosinski, Data Analyst, for providing this information! 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?

Matthew Lechel Kalamazoo, MI ? Monday, November 13, 2017. Kalamazoo Public Library is pleased to announce the new Director of ONEplace - Matthew Lechel. Matt Lechel has 15+ years of nonprofit experience including organizations such as the YMCA, Girl Scouts, and Volunteer Kalamazoo. He received his Masters of Public Administration-Nonprofit Leadership degree from Western Michigan University in 2008, and also taught as adjunct faculty at WMU for a number of years. Prior to joining ONEplace in 2016, Lechel served for six years as the Executive Director of Kalamazoo Collective Housing, a nonprofit affordable housing cooperative in Kalamazoo. Matt Lechel has also served on the boards of PFC Natural Grocery and Deli, and Kalamazoo County Parks Commission, where he currently serves as Secretary. "Matt's experience in the Kalamazoo nonprofit environment, his demonstrated abilities over the past year, and his passion for all that ONEplace embodies will, I'm sure, prove to be the right combination in leading ONEplace," said Kalamazoo Public Library Director Ryan Wieber. "I am excited for Matt and am confident he will do a great job." Matt Lechel will model the legacy of excellent leadership provided by previous ONEplace Directors Thom Andrews and Bobbe Luce. Under Matt's direction, ONEplace will continue to provide a variety of custom capacity building services to the nonprofits in Kalamazoo county. "I am humbled and honored to take on this position, particularly after the passing of my friend and mentor Thom Andrews, who left a tremendous legacy here at ONEplace," said Lechel. "Nonprofits are critical to the success of our community, and impact nearly all of us whether we're program participants, funders, staff, volunteers or board members. The fact that ONEplace even exists is a testament to the commitment of nonprofit excellency from Kalamazoo area funders like the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation and Kalamazoo Community Foundations. I am excited to grow the great work of ONEplace."

Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA) Annual Conference 2018 Preconference: ACRL Standards Workshop Planning, Assessing, and Communicating Library Impact: Putting the Standards for Libraries in Higher Education into Action May 16, 2018 Michigan State University Libraries East Lansing, MI Description Libraries in higher education are increasingly required to demonstrate their value and document their contributions to overall institutional effectiveness. The Standards for Libraries in Higher Education is a framework for library planning and assessment that can be used for a variety of circumstances including annual planning, program review, and accreditation self-study. Through presentation, discussion, and group activities, learn how to use the Standards to communicate your library's impact. Learning Outcomes Workshop participants will be able to. . . * Establish the library and institutional contexts to effectively engage in planning, self-study, accreditation, or program review processes. * Use the ACRL Standards for Libraries in Higher Education and other foundational documents as a framework to develop benchmarks, evaluate quality and performance, and demonstrate value to the institutional mission. * Evaluate various metrics and assessment tools to select the best approach for a given situation. * Examine the role of leadership in building a culture of evidence to engage all librarians and staff members in effective decision-making. Target Audience This workshop is intended for all librarians, library staff, and library administrators who need to demonstrate the value of their library by documenting their contributions to overall institutional effectiveness and/or to identify areas for quality improvement. Attendees are not expected to have previous experience applying the Standards. Though the primary audience is librarians, library staff, library administrators and other campus professionals in areas of assessment, institutional planning and improvement, and academic technology may be interested as well. Presenter Information Andrea Falcone, MLS, MA, is the Head of Education & Outreach Services at the University of Colorado Denver. Falcone leads a dynamic instruction program that offers one-time, course-integrated instruction to various programs and groups on a campus with three institutions. She encourages library faculty to be experimental in designing their curriculum and to conduct assessments with the intent of continuous improvement. She is the Editor of the Beta Phi Mu Scholars Series published by Rowman & Littlefield and is the column editor for "Perspectives on Public Services," which appears in International Information & Library Review.

They are Demco item WS12305530, "Continuous Processing Labels, Style SLB." https://www.demco.com/goto?PRD12305530&s=12305530 Labels are 1 5/8" high, spine label is 7/8" wide and the pocket label is 2 7/8" wide. They are on continuous feed paper, 4 ?" wide. There are 1000 labels to a box, and we have 20 boxes. These labels are about 10 years old, but they seem to be fine-the adhesive is still good. If you want any or all, please let me know. For free. Really. Please take them. You might need them someday... Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W.

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2017, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of Lots and Lots of Coins by Margarette S. Reid, for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union Foundation for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of Lots and Lots of Coins for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before December 31, 2017: http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h * Randy Riley, State Librarian --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Michigan's Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together each year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 21-28, 2018. Between April 21-28, 2018, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of Lots and Lots of Coins, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 21-28, 2018. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/298788/lots-and-lots-of-coins-by-margarette-reid-illustrated-by-true-kelley/9780525478799/ The Michigan Credit Union Foundation has generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.moneysmartweek.org/partners_signup. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 21-28, 2018. Recommended age for Lots and Lots of Coins is 5 - 8 years old. The story line and supplemental activities can be "aged up" or "aged down" to the age and knowledge level of your participants. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this questionnaire before December 31, 2017. http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h 4. Between January 15th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books late March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Lots and Lots of Coins book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers. From the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, in April you'll receive an email notice of where to submit. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By December 31, 2017, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 30, 2018. Please complete the questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MoneySmartMichigan at gmail.com. *********************************************************************************************************** Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

We are looking for a few virtual volunteers to assist with planning Author Chats, Online Connections, and other committees. If you can contribute even a few hours of time between now and the end of July, please consider joining us. If interested, please fill out our Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/ d/1LkkqcRW0KxW3NfqD30OfsJYz-iDCBhc0qzc_o0taYNI If you are unfamiliar with the National Teen Lockin, we are a 100% volunteer run annual program in our 5th year that encourages libraries across the country to plan a synchronous teen program on a particular day. Here is a blurb from our 2017 wiki: NTL 2017 will happen on Friday, July 28th but the timing of your event is completely up to you. Some libraries do all night events. Some do after-hours only. Participating libraries do not have a required number of hours or participants to be a part of NTL. The gaming, author chats, and online connections are synchronous, but those are scheduled (to the greatest degree possible) so that libraries in all time zones can participate. The photo scavenger hunt, minute-to-win-it, and craft activities can happen anytime on July 28th! Make NTL work for your library! Thanks!

We're cleaning out a supply cabinet this morning and came across some spine label/pocket label sets that somebody in library land can use. They are Demco item WS12305530, "Continuous Processing Labels, Style SLB." https://www.demco.com/goto?PRD12305530&s=12305530 Labels are 1 5/8" high, spine label is 7/8" wide and the pocket label is 2 7/8" wide. They are on continuous feed paper, 4 ?" wide. There are 1000 labels to a box, and we have 20 boxes. These labels are about 10 years old, but they seem to be fine-the adhesive is still good. If you want any or all, please let me know. For free. Really. Please take them. You might need them someday... Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W.

For those of you who may be training teachers on how to use Britannica School, they have just made things a little bit easier! When setting up a "My Britannica" account, Britannica has eliminated the need for a school code for the educator account. Now, educators just need to enter in a username, password, and email address, plus check off "Educator" in the sign up box. (Reminder - usernames cannot contain any spaces.) Students just need to enter a username, password, and check off "Student" in the sign up box. The My Britannica Educator account allows access to over 16,000 lesson plans plus curriculum standards alignment. Plus, My Britannica users can create and share Resource Packs, which is an excellent tool in the K-12 classroom. If you would like to learn more about using Britannica School, or any of the great MeL databases, please check out the Training Toolkit in the MeL Teachers portal (teachers.mel.org). -- Christine Schneider K-12 Education Specialist Michigan eLibrary [http://www.michigan.gov/images/MEL_LOGO_25435_7.jpg] Michigan eLibrary, a program of the Library of Michigan and part of the Michigan Department of Education http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan 702 W Kalamazoo St, Lansing, MI 48915 (m) 248-305-0231 Our collective efforts can help make Michigan a Top 10 education state in 10 years!

The Ginger Zee tie in is neat. And note the shout out for MAP under the Mackinac Bridge :) Remember, the order deadline is December 8. And if you want to modify an already submitted order to include Benson's Adventures and/or Benson's Seasonal Adventures, I am good with that, too! Thanks. Jim From: "Jim Flury" To: "everyone" , "michlib-l" , "partnerscda" , "directors" , "adult-services" , "acquisitions" , "sasusers" , "sasdirectors" , "youth-services" Sent: Tuesday, November 7, 2017 10:31:07 AM Subject: BRAND NEW Under the Radar Michigan Book Coming: Bulk Order Opportunity Available! All, As you are probably aware, we have a couple of publishing partners out there who are helping us spread the word when it comes to all the great things concerning the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. As part of this relationship, Michigan libraries also get the opportunity to purchase their books and dvd's at a discount. A win-win! Let's get your orders to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8, please. Having said that, below is a list of the 11 items we are offering in terms of bulk order opportunities from these two publishers. I am also including three other titles that were suggested by libraries around the state. Finally, there is a 15th title which I just saw come across my radar screen that sounded interesting, and not that easy to get. So I added it to the mix, too. Please let me know by NUMBER, which one(s) we should order for your library. Please note that there will be a $1.00 per item charge assessed by TLN in order to partially offset the cost of this project. Any shipping charges will be distributed among the ordering libraries. Books/dvd's will be shipped to your library via TLN or RIDES delivery, as appropriate. For RIDES, invoices will be sent with your shipment. TLN libraries will be billed in the customary beginning of the month fashion. Finally, please include your library's RIDES code in your reply to me: 1. BRAND NEW UTR BOOK: Under the Radar Michigan: The Next 50. These guys need no introduction http://utrmichigan.com/ Pub date March 6, 2018. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00. This is so new that it isn't even shown on the UTR store site yet! But, TLN has the connections... 2. THE ORIGINAL UTR BOOK: Under the Michigan: The First 50. Pub date November 4, 2014. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00 3. UTR DVD Season One: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 4. UTR DVD Season Two: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 5. UTR DVD Season Three: List price $40.00. TLN price $30.00 (Note: there are 23 episodes included on this dvd, as opposed to the standard 13 episodes; hence, the higher price) 6. UTR DVD Season Four: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 7. UTR DVD Season Five: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 8. UTR DVD Season Six: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 9. UTR DVD Season Seven: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 Again, this is so new that it doesn't appear on the UTR store site! Another MAP publishing partner is Benson's Adventures http://bensonsadventures.com/ The two public school teachers in this venture, Tracy and Shannon, do a lot of work to promote MAP in schools not only where they teach, but all over Michigan. Here are their two youth oriented titles: 10. Benson's Adventures in Michigan: Book 1. List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 11. Benson's Seasonal Adventures in Michigan: Book 2 (June, 2017 release) List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 Here are a few "would it be possible for TLN to coordinate a bulk order for this" requests I've received from libraries around the state. I don't know whether we will get discounts for these. Given the nature of the publications, I doubt it. If we can, we will. Both are expensive. Two are blue, one is green. Personally I prefer blue. Given the way the blue part of the equation has gone this year, though I don't know how much enthusiasm or rise either of those will generate. If you order both 13 and 14 you will get the bundled price: 12. Victory for MSU: A 120-year History of Spartan Men's Basketball http://www.dbusiness.com/daily-news/Annual-2017/Book-on-Michigan-State-Universitys-Basketball-Program-Debuts-Forward-by-Greg-Kelser/ List price $59.99. 13. Rise Again: Jim Harbaugh (brand new) https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 14. Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind: Jim Harbaugh https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 15. 4 Detroit: Four Chefs, Four Courses, Four Seasons http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/mark-kurlyandchik/2017/11/07/four-detroit-cookbook-recipes-new-restaurants-takoi-gold-cash-gold-selden-standard-supino/831142001/ and https://noramodern.com/products/4detroit List price $46.00. I like the fact that $5.00 from the sale of every book goes to Gleaners Community Food Bank. Let's support our MAP partner publishers, and bring lots of enjoyment to your patrons, by sending your orders for these (mostly) discounted books and dvd's to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8.

In-Reply-To: <17467858.1019@govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> References: <17467858.1019@govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> Message-ID: [https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/MILOM/2015/01/417111/431302/new-banner2_crop.jpg] Author & Illustrator Tour Announcement [RTRM Logo]The Library of Michigan has announced the new Ready to Read Michigan, a program designed for public libraries to encourage families and caregivers to read aloud regularly to children during the early stages of life (birth up to age 5), as it ensures the development of early literacy skills and instills a love of reading. The program is designed for public librarians to model early literacy skill development directly to families and engage in outreach to early childhood centers, Great Start & Head Start classrooms, and daycares throughout their community. [IGTR]The first book selected for public library outreach is "I Got the Rhythm" by Connie Schofield-Morrison and illustrated by Frank Morrison. The author/illustrator tour is hosted by public libraries during "March is Reading Month" to promote the importance of reading aloud to young children throughout the state. The Library of Michigan is looking for public libraries which would like to have the author and illustrator visit on March 19-22, 2018. Libraries must be able to coordinate the event with a local early childhood center, daycare, Great State, Head Start, preschool or kindergarten class(es). If you would like your public library to be considered as a host, please complete the Ready to Read Michigan Tour Visit 2018 form by December 8, 2018. We will select event locations based on the author & illustrator's schedule, the location of the library, and the library's ability to secure a community partner to bring in an audience or plan to host the visit at a local early childhood center. We will try to reach as many areas of the state as possible with up to 10 visits. The Library of Michigan will make scheduling arrangements with the author and illustrator to pay their honorarium. Funding for Ready to Read Michigan is provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with additional support provided by Consumers Energy and the Library of Michigan Foundation.

Below is my original question and the responses. WHEELCHAIR USE AT THE LIBRARY November 15, 2017 Q: Does anyone have a wheelchair for the public to use while in the library? If so, for what purpose is it used? We have a patron who is requesting that we get one and I'm wondering if others have had the same request and if you have one already. If you have one, were you able to get it donated? Probably not of much use, but we neither have one nor have we had a request for one. We did have someone suggest we needed carts--like shopping carts they have in bookstores(?)--but we did not act on that suggestion. When I was at Baldwin we had a similar request. Our senior center had a spare they donated to the library. We kept it in a closet and made it available if anyone requested a wheelchair while in the building. We do have one, and I believe it was donated. You might want to check with your Senior Center (if you have one nearby) as ours gets a lot of items donated to them when people pass away (like shower chairs, wheel chairs, etc.) Yes, we do. We borrowed it from the local Senior Center a couple of years ago for a specific homeless patron. We used it that winter, and when we tried to return it, the Senior Center made it a "permanent loan." We rarely use it, but it is fabulous to have on hand when you need it. Feel free to call if you want to talk. We have one available for use in the building for anyone in need. It was donated by an individual who no longer needed it. But if you want to buy a simple, folding one, they're about $85. Ours has only been used a handful of times in the past 8 years. Our local senior center (Highland Activity Center) keeps a 'medical supply closet' of donations and they passed along a wheelchair to us - many years back. It is not new or fancy, but it is a wheelchair and it came to us at no cost. And it works. We've only used a couple/few times over several years that i can recall. Circumstances were something like an occasion one someone became faint, possibly something like an occasion when someone turned an ankle, and once to help someone who appeared frail and slow moving to have easier mobility. It is not used by any one person on a regular ongoing basis. We have one that has been with us forever and I have no idea how it came to be at the library. We have only used it very, very occasionally when there has been someone twisting an ankle, etc. We generally keep it in the library storage area so staff fetch it when the need arises. We have a wheelchair and it is seldom used. We have two electric carts, which are used a LOT! I'd skip the chair and go for the electric scooter. They are pricey ($4,000 - $5,000), but our Friends bought the first one and a scooter store donated the second one. If you get a new one get the heavy duty model. The lighter weight models get flat tires all the time because heavy people tend to ride in them. Your local senior center probably has closets full of donated wheelchairs, walkers and other stuff. I would love to know the responses that you get to this. We have discussed as a staff about getting a wheel chair and/or walker for library use for patrons who struggle. We have one that we got donated by a resident. We just put the request in our city's magazine and someone donated one. It doesn't get used much because it is just a regular wheelchair, not a powered scooter. We're happy we can still offer it though! We have one for each floor, but only because we salvaged 2 of them from the Northland Mall when it closed. Before that we had one that was for all 3 floors, which wasn't the most effective. We use them if someone asks for assistance or if someone feels ill and can't walk to their car. (A family member can then push them.) If someone is using a walker and seems to be having trouble, we might offer the use of a wheelchair. Honestly, they are seldom used. But we are glad to have them. We had one at Wayne. It was donated. I don't remember anyone using it though. Do not have one, and in all the years I have been here, has anyone requested one. Cascade Township branch has had a wheelchair for approx. 20 years. Our first chair was purchased by our Friends. It lasted about 15 years. The second chair was again purchased by our Friends, in cooperation with Airway Oxygen, a local medical supply house, who sold it to us at cost. The new one is a wide chair as the old one was not big enough. We consider our wheel chair, our walker and 3 smaller shopping carts donated by Meijer to be critical for services to seniors in our 20,000 sf building. The wheel chair and walker are used a couple of times per week, the shopping carts are used hourly. We had a shopping cart from Demco, but it was not sturdy and did not provide stability, so we got rid of it. It is used by people who need assistance getting around our building?..from seniors to kids who break legs. None of our assistance equipment goes outside, esp in winter. Staff will walk patron or materials out to cars. We have two wheelchairs for public use. They aren?t used often, but enough that I?m glad we have them. Also, this summer, we got a small shopping cart for patrons. It?s used a lot more than the wheelchairs. Same here. The mini carts are very popular. We have a wheelchair and have for a long time. I believe it was donated by our local Hospice. It is not used very often. More often, kids play on it. It is kept in lobby within our coat rack. We have a small cart as well and that is probably used more often by people needing stability. We have one in our library. We got it when we decided to lock a second door for security puposes. Youd have thought the world ended when we did that with the number of complaints we had about how much farther people had to walk to get in the building from parking (an additional 20 feet). We got it donated by a local medical supply place and we added signage that indicated that it was generously donated by them. It has come in handy several times since then.

Sean Cwiek, Kathy Kosinski and Sonya Schryer Norris recently completed a study and are in the process of implementing the results as approved by the MeL management team. We worked at Jackson District Library (thank you to Sara Tackett, Liz Breed and the staff and patrons of JDL!!) and with non-patrons in Lansing. We spent more than 17 hours watching and recording as people engaged with MeL and MeLCat. There were several important results that will impact MeL that we'd like to share with you. * The Advanced Search feature, which fared poorly in our 2016 testing, fared even worse in the summer of 2017. It has been removed from MeL pending improvements by the vendor. One patron noted: "This is going to sound stupid but the advanced search makes no sense. I would think maybe I could come here to narrow down my search but I would be so frustrated." Another said: "It's not very friendly. I have no idea what Boolean is. Format doesn't make any sense here." One person simply looked at the page and said: "Now I'm lost and I want to call the library. I'm serious. I'm going to have to hit the back button or reset the search." Advanced Search is like a voodoo siren call to some users but it consistently underperforms for the general public. * The search box on the homepage, which searches both MeL and MeLCat, is going to be split into two different search boxes on two different pages. We're still working with designers on implementation but likely MeLCat will move to the homepage and a search for the databases will move to the top of the databases page. The anticipated date for that change is late December. We will engage in another round of usability testing this winter to see how this change affects users. We asked users about their faith in the MeL search box and almost all said they would have used it on their own to obtain books but only 29% said they would have stuck with it for non-book related information seeking. This speaks to the value that subjects place on finding books they can borrow at no charge and the relative difficulty of more generalized information-seeking in Encore. * Fortunately, we found that MeLCat success rates were definitively improved since the Encore improvements (or "new" MeLCat) we made. As a reminder, these are the recent enhancements to Encore: o Records with more holdings attached to them are weighted more heavily. This means that records that have more lending libraries attached to them will appear higher in the search results, hopefully making them more attractive to click on and improving the findability of available copies. * This also has the benefit of decreasing the visibility of electronic resources with only one holding. o Known title searching has improved. o There is now better matching on one word titles o If no copies associated with a given record are available for loan that is now noted on the results page with a red message: "No copies currently available" o A number of the facets have been collapsed and can opened or closed with a plus/minus sign o A background color (green instead of gray) was added to the Facets section o The Request an Available Copy screen has been improved. 1. Only Available or Status unknown (Follett systems) items are shown 2. The request button is larger and at both the top and bottom of the screen and 3. The messaging has been simplified and improved. o Icons were made larger and colored o "Get This from MeLCat" and "View Record" are no longer grayed out unless they're selected on the search results page Brought to you by Deb Renee Biggs and Sonya Schryer Norris, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

[https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Infinity-Plus-One.jpg] Secret Agent 23 Skidoo is a Grammy winning, internationally touring, purple velvet tuxedo wearing family funk phenomenon. Combining the positive, primal power of hip hop with the surreal storytelling of science fiction, 23 Skidoo has concocted a potent potion that wows family crowds across the planet. The ingredients of his magic spells include reverence for the boundless mind states of young children, respect for the culture and DNA of hip hop, funk and soul music, and a deep belief in the power of the imagination to change the world in positive ways, both personal and universal. If you can imagine a band with Jim Henson on guitar, Shel Silverstein on bass and PIXAR as the lead vocalist, you?ve pretty much got it. And if George Clinton and Q Tip stopped by the party, that might clarify things even more. Basically, if Dr. Seuss and Dr. Dre had a baby, it would be the music of Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. Nuff said. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20_Horn-copy.jpg] The (Official) Move to One Slogan! Over the past few program years CSLP State Representatives have voted to use one slogan for all age groups at the annual meeting. This October, a survey was sent out to the State Representatives asking them to seek input from their constituents, and vote on officially moving to one slogan for future program years. The survey had a 74% response rate, and unanimously approved the move to one slogan! Formally moving to one slogan creates a lot of opportunities for our member libraries. For one, it allows libraries to have a more branded/streamlined marketing campaign. The one slogan also allows CSLP to use the same chapter headings across the different manuals, making multi-age, or family programming much easier. Turn the Page KC!

The event will be held at The Westin Denver Downtown in the heart of the city. The travel day will be Monday, April 9 with a President?s Reception and Orientation on Monday evening. The meeting will begin with breakfast on Tuesday, April 10 and conclude at 3:00 pm on Thursday, April 12th. This is a change from the past few years as one day has been added to the meeting time. Registration and travel information will be e-mailed to the State Representative mail list and posted on the CSLP website in December with a registration deadline of March 1, 2018. CSLP will again pay for one lodging room per state for up to four nights, will pay for meals for up to two persons per state, and will reimburse up to $700 travel expenses for one person per state. All expenses must have receipts of actual expenses to be reimbursed. The final agenda will be posted soon however we wanted to give a heads up on the travel and meeting times and dates so you can begin planning. State Representatives be present at this meeting and any additional persons from a state are invited at the invitation of the State Rep. 2018 CSLP Program Manuals By now, all CSLP State Representatives should have received the 2018 manual shipments at the designated drop ship points. The manuals are distributed within the state by different methods. If you have not received your 2018 manual, please first check with your state rep to see when they will be distributed within your state. Remember that all formats of the manual are given online access however also remember that all formats are still available if you need a second copy by purchasing through the CSLP shopping cart. To access the shopping cart, you first need to be logged into the CSLP website. If you need assistance with your log in process, please contact the CSLP offices. Once you are logged into the site, you will click on the SHOP button on the top tool bar. This takes you to our e-commerce page where you will need your shopping login. This may or may not be the same log in as this is a separate website and it depends on how you set your account up. If you have problems, please call the CSLP offices for assistance. You may also go directly to the shopping page by entering: https://shopcslp.com Manuals can be found in the shopping area of under Programming, Promotion & D?cor > Programming & Promotion > Program Manual. If you are wanting the online access to compliment your other materials, remember you need to first obtain the 2018 online access code. This procedure only needs to be completed once, per library building. The code may be shared among the staff members within a building. Remember the online manual has a new searchable feature this year. We do need to report that we have discovered that a few of the USB drives are defective. If you find that you have a defective product, please contact the CSLP office and a replacement will be sent out right away. The Online Manual: Pro Tips from an Amateur by Luke Kralik [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Luke_headshot.jpg] In my library career I have led plenty of songs, have overused glitter, and have assisted children in making crafts only their mothers could love. However, I have always worked with more experienced librarians or teachers, and relied on them to actually choose the programming activities. Because of this, I am not especially qualified to describe what the perfect programming selection tool looks like. This is where you come in! As we roll out our new online manual, we need your feedback on what is working, what isn?t, and what can be better. One very useful suggestion I have already received was to make downloading the images easier and quicker. Instead of downloading each image one at a time, we have grouped them into zip files. To download them in a batch, simply scroll down on the right-sidebar to where you can choose Filetype, and put a check in the box labeled zip. There are eight art collections available, and they contain all of the artwork. We all want CSLP to produce the most useful, and user friendly program manual! Please send me your feedback, so that we can make the improvements you would like to see. Thank you! luke.kralik at cslpreads.org 503-842-0582 [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/10_Guitar_Girl-copy.jpg] Spotlight on a Reading Superstar! When she was a child, Kaya Thomas? parents took her to Barnes and Noble each week and would buy her two books. Often, Kaya would seek out book containing characters who looked like her. Kaya, who is African-American, often struggled to find books with African-American protagonists. Once she was in high school, even when she was able to find books, they often featured characters who had no relation to her life. She said ?The stories tended to be about young girls getting pregnant, dropping out of school, doing drugs?and don?t get me wrong, those are realities for people, even in my own family. But they weren?t my reality.? To help young readers avoid this situation, Kaya created the We Read Too app for iPhone and Android devices. The app helps connect readers with books by people of color, that have people of color as the main characters. If there a young reader making a big difference in your state, please let us know! We would love to share these inspirational stories with the entire CSLP membership!

Fortunately, with the support and encouragement of TLN Executive Director Jim Pletz not only were we able to re-work very expensive, not to mention back wrenching (have you ever unloaded, unpacked, sorted, and then distributed a semi-truck trailer load of 22 full pallets of boxes of printed promotional materials?) previously paper based MAP (Museum Adventure Pass) into much more cost effective, all online MAP (Michigan Activity Pass), we also expanded it from participating libraries in six counties to statewide, and increased the number of participating destinations by a factor of 15. Not bad! In all seriousness, I hope TPL is able to either find a new sponsor, or re-invent its MAP program as we did ours. Their program started the same year ours did, in 2007, and it would be a shame to see it go by the wayside. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/11/16/toronto-librarys-popular-free-museum-and-arts-pass-program-loses-funding.html http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/museum-arts-passes/ Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are looking for work in the history field, make sure to take a look at our History Job Board.

They range from full-time positions to volunteer opportunities and are not limited to any specific background or job experience. To submit a listing to the History Job Board, you must be a member organization of the Historical Society of Michigan. Details about joining the Society can be found on our website. Take a look at the job postings! Michigan, the Wolverine State "The Wolverine State" is one of Michigan's traditional nicknames-but how common are these iconic animals? Wolverines rarely, if ever, lived in Michigan. So how did Michigan get that nickname? One belief is that people in Ohio began to call Michiganders "wolverines" during a quarrel over the state border in 1835. Wolverines are ornery animals, so Ohioans likened their neighbors to them. By 1861, University of Michigan sports teams had begun using the nickname Wolverines to equate themselves with those fierce animals. Did you know this tidbit of Michigan history? Let us know on our Facebook post! A Great Time to Give As a non-governmental nonprofit, the Historical Society of Michigan depends on gifts from individuals like you to fund the work of preserving and presenting the rich, colorful history of our state. We provide a multitude of historical programs, conferences, community resources, and publications that are used to enhance Michigan's history and help preserve its various historical organizations and programs. We work toward educating and preserving the rich cultural history of Michigan, and we look for ways to preserve the history of the past, the present, and the future. For the 2017 Giving Tuesday season, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has partnered with Facebook to provide a Giving Tuesday donation match-for each donation a nonprofit organization receives on Giving Tuesday through Facebook, the foundation will match that donation. This is a monumental step for HSM, and for many other nonprofits, since it provides us with that extra "oomph" we can use to help our programs and missions continue. Please stay tuned to our Facebook page for more information on how to help HSM share Michigan's history for years to come. We thank all of our members, supporters, subscribers, and fellow history fans for all that you do to help us tell Michigan's stories. Giving Tuesday is held on November 28. Michiganders on the Road Presents "Founding of America" Tour We know Michigan is a great state for culture and history. But we also know there is some great history in the other 49 states as well. That's why we developed our "Michiganders on the Road" motor coach tours-and we've already set our sights on 2018! How did our nation come about? What did the Founders envision for their country? Can a government of the people, by the people, and for the people survive? As one historian has put it, "the road from Jamestown leads to Gettysburg." We'll discover how the United States originated and how it was sustained in our 9-day, 8-night Founding of America Tour. History-packed, fun-filled, and bursting with good eats along the way, this tour is sure to delight anyone looking for a historical adventure with fellow Michiganders.

The Michigan Department of Education Office of Data and Information Management is pleased to announce that Joseph Polasek has accepted the position of E-Rate Specialist in the Educational Technology Unit. In funding year 2016, Michigan school districts and libraries were reimbursed over $68 million dollars for internet access and internal connections (WIFI). Joe will assist districts and libraries in maximizing their E-Rate reimbursements as recent programmatic changes to E-Rate at the federal level have been challenging for applicants. Additionally, he will assist districts with leveraging federal funds to meet connectivity targets for transforming teaching and learning, not simply to enable online assessments. The position also will assist districts and libraries in moving to consortium applications for internal connections, paralleling the migration of ISDs and subsequently school districts over to the Michigan State Education Network (MISEN) for internet access. The E-Rate Specialist will work more broadly on infrastructure issues and with community anchor institutions to narrow the homework gap, extending internet access to unserved and underserved areas through private sector partnerships and pilots. I will still be working on E-Rate as well, but it is only a small sliver of my job. The best way to reach Joe and myself with E-Rate questions is to email erate at michigan.gov. Welcome Joe!

Now that the internet has become the primary mechanism for delivering information, services and applications to the general public, it is especially important that commercial Internet Service Providers are not able to control or manipulate the content of these communications. Libraries, our patrons and America?s communities will be at risk if the FCC repeals all protections contained in its 2015 Open Internet Order with no plans to replace with any enforceable rules. We strenuously disagree with the FCC?s actions and will continue to advocate for essential net neutrality protections.? The FCC Commission will vote on the proposed order at the December open Commission meeting on Thursday, December 14, 2017, from 10:30 am ? 12:30 pm EST. The meeting will be webcast live on the FCC?s website. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2017/11/ala-strenuously-opposes-fcc-proposed-order-net-neutrality ALA and REFORMA create Adopt a Library program to assist libraries in the Caribbean Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated much of the Caribbean and libraries were not spared.

(ECRR) Program is an excellent tool to ensure libraries? success. These were two of the key findings of a study released this month by Dr. Susan B. Neuman, a professor of childhood education and literacy development at New York University. ECRR is based on two core concepts: reading begins at birth, and parents are a child?s first and best teacher. Currently more than 6,000 libraries have invested in the ECRR Toolkit, which is used to implement ECRR in the library.

Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways.

MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together each year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 21-28, 2018. Between April 21-28, 2018, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of Lots and Lots of Coins, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 21-28, 2018. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/298788/lots-and-lots-of-coins-by-margarette-reid-illustrated-by-true-kelley/9780525478799/ The Michigan Credit Union Foundation has generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.moneysmartweek.org/partners_signup. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 21-28, 2018. Recommended age for Lots and Lots of Coins is 5 - 8 years old. The story line and supplemental activities can be "aged up" or "aged down" to the age and knowledge level of your participants. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this questionnaire before December 31, 2017. http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h 4. Between January 15th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books late March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Lots and Lots of Coins book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers. From the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, in April you'll receive an email notice of where to submit. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By December 31, 2017, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 30, 2018. Please complete the questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general? Feel free to contact Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman, Kelly Masters, directly at 248.761.1762 or MoneySmartMichigan at gmail.com. *********************************************************************************************************** Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Its total population served is about 430,000. In addition it also provides no charge library cards and service to some residents of adjacent Wood County. ***Metro Toledo has two Costco stores. One is in Lucas County. The other is in Wood County. ***The "Use Your Library Card to Shop at Costco" project was initiated by a branch manager at a TLCPL, working with the manager at the Lucas County Costco store. ***Once the Lucas County Costco store manager got on board with said project, the Wood County Costco store manager thought it would be a good idea for their store to do so, too. We both found this interesting, in that Ben told me there are three libraries in Wood County that service communities that are either in or adjacent to, the Wood County Costco store. Yet that store opted to get on board with an out of county, TLCPL, initiative. I asked Ben if he thought this would be a good project to try in Michigan. He said yes. I asked him if he thought it would be better to approach this project from a statewide, or from a local, basis. He said that given that local Costco store managers have the authority to enter into these kinds of agreements, sans corporate interference from Washington State, and that there are many more Costco stores than two in the metro Detroit area, much less throughout Michigan, that in his opinion it would be better for local libraries that have a Costco store in their service area, to approach the store manager with a proposal. He also encouraged you to print and take along a copy of the linked Toledo Blade article as a reference. This is much more information than you ever wanted to know/needed to know/needs to be posted on this listserv about a non-Michigan public library initiative. But this was an interesting project and, based on the number of replies I received from libraries following my initial post, one that I believe worthy of pursuit on the local level by libraries that are interested in doing so. In the weeks leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, 2018 I hope to read articles about "Use Your Library Card to Shop at Costco" projects involving Michigan public libraries :) Thanks.

The "library spokesman" named in the article is a friend of mine, and I am supposed to meet him for lunch Friday. Assuming Ben is open to "talking shop" for at least a few minutes, I am going to ask him how this came to be. Depending upon his answer, maybe it is something we (or at least, libraries that have a Costco in their own community) could pursue! http://www.toledoblade.com/business/2017/11/17/Library-card-will-soon-double-for-Costco-membership-for-a-week.html Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The new draft order is scheduled to be voted on by the five FCC commissioners on December 14. Why It Matters: Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers (ISPs) must enable access to all legal content and applications regardless of the source and without favoring or blocking specific services or websites. Strong, enforceable rules are critical to the functioning of modern libraries because we rely on the internet to collect, create and disseminate essential online information and services to the public. Libraries and our patrons cannot afford to be relegated to "slow lanes" on the internet. ALA has two resolutions regarding net neutrality: the first affirms net neutrality and the second reaffirms our support. What You Can Do: Right now, the FCC is not accepting public comments (that may come later), but strong disapproval from members of Congress (especially from Republicans and those that serve on committees with oversight for the FCC) could force a pause in the December 14 vote to derail net neutrality. Make your voice heard now by emailing your member of Congress to support net neutrality protections.

It seems like a good platform for outreach, I've used it personally to find local groups, including book clubs. They seem to have non-profit pricing as well, though I'm waiting to hear back on exactly how generous that is; the $35/month groups are normally charged isn't unreasonable anyway.

To do so, librarians developed ?Gold Star Partners,? which connects community partners with library services and provides all the components of summer reading: reading logs, materials, and support from library staff. Since that first year, Gold Star Partners has grown to account for roughly 50% of all summer reading finishers in the library district. Gold Star Partners received the 2016 Demco Upstart Innovation Award from PLA, which honors a public library?s innovative and creative service program. In this webinar, learn how to maximize flexibility and achieve more with volunteers, receive an overview of Gold Star Partners, and learn how to develop community partnerships with day care centers, community centers, senior residential facilities, and other organizations that serve children and adults to increase summer reading participation.

This Month's Wisdom... "If we follow Fountas & Pinnell's recent suggestions, also recommendations by the American Library Association, we will stop levelling, and have parents and children follow the five-finger rule." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca Early Reading (Beginning to Read) Books and Reading Levels [child reading]I have been teaching graduate library school students at Kent State's iSchool for 20 years now, and one of the most common questions I hear from students is why do different publishers have different reading levels for their "I Can Read" or "Beginning to Read" books. They are frustrated that there is no universal standard. It is also a subject discussed often by public librarians --- "How do you arrange your easy reading books? "What system do you use?" Over the years, I have heard many librarians state that they arrange their easy readers using one of the most popular and widely used reading systems, developed by Irene C. Fountas, professor in the School of Education at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, and Gay Su Pinnell, professor in the School of Teaching and Learning at Ohio State University, called the Fountas & Pinnell Text Level Gradient. I am imaging librarians' shock when Fountas and PInnell recently stated (October 12, 2017, School Library Journal) that they felt librarians should not arrange their books using their system, nor should they organize by levels, but rather librarians should "guide readers by interest, not by level." Both researchers were adamant that "their leveling system was designed as a teacher's tool, not a child's label." And, "levels have no place in classroom libraries, in school libraries, in public libraries." For more information on their interview, see the recommended website link below. So what do librarians do now? If they already arranged their easy reader books using the Fountas & Pinnell system, do they completely redo their arrangement, and how should they shelve the books now? Many librarians also feel pressured by parents to arrange books by certain levels. If we follow Fountas & Pinnell's recent suggestions, also recommendations by the American Library Association, we will stop leveling, and have parents and children follow the five-finger rule. Here is a description of this rule by the Reading Rockets site. [hands]Five Finger Rule 1. Choose a book that you think you will enjoy. 2. Read the second page. 3. Hold up a finger for each word you are not sure of, or do not know. 4. If there are five or more words you did not know, you should choose an easier book. Still think it may not be too difficult? Use the five finger rule on two more pages. So, if you decide to have children use the five-finger rule, and you wish to stop leveling books, what arguments can you use to discontinue leveling? Here are some reasons to stop leveling: 1. You are limiting the child's range of books based on their interests. The books they can choose from will be more narrow and restrictive, and not necessarily on subjects that will interest him/her. 2. Leveling can influence a child's sense of confidence while choosing books, since they are often restricted to picking books from just one level. 3. Children can be frustrated (just like librarians) due to the various levels publishers use, and the inconsistency between different publishing houses. 4. Leveling books can take the joy out of reading for children, and reading books may no longer be considered fun. ________________________________ Recommended Websites on Leveling Books * [books] Fountas and Pinnell say, "Librarians Should Guide Readers by Interest, Not Level."

The author of this book also wrote Warning: Do Not Open this Book! which won several awards and was an ALA Notable Book; also he is the author of Please, Open This Book! So we know that he has a fascination with books and reading, which makes us as librarians very happy. This centers on HOW a book is written, and language arts teachers in the early primary grades are going to love this one. Children are introduced to what comprises a setting in a story, how conflict should be added, what a plot is, how plot twists are necessary, and why revisions are essential, all done with humor, while a young girl tries to write a good story. This is a wonderful choice for any child who likes to make up stories or wants to be a creative writer. There is "A Friendly List of Words Used in this Book" in the back of the book which is helpful, though some may be for a slightly advanced reader. (protagonist, antagonist). As one reviewer stated about this book "This is a story within a story about the parts of a story." (SLJ) That should be clear! [7 ate 9]7 Ate 9. Tara Lazar. Disney/Hyperion, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-48471-779-0. $17.99. When I first heard of this book, two marketing folks from Disney/Hyperion did a tandem reading of the story at the ALA Midwinter Conference. I have been waiting for it to be published ever since, because it contains the type of sarcastic humor that I love. And, to be honest, some of the humor will probably go over the heads of the very young, but don't you love a book that has puns that only adults get, with enough jokes for the younger set also. The letter "I" is a, well, Private I of course, a detective at the Al F. Bet agency. (Read the name of that agency again, in case you missed it.) Into his office runs number 6, who says he has it on good authority that number 7 ate 9. "And now he is after me," quips number 6. ""Well, technically, he's always after you," answers Private I. "Stay here. I'll get to the root of this," says I. "I hope so," responds 6. "I fear my days are numbered," and so it goes. There is even a Caf? Uno that serves Pi (okay that's one for the parents). We get to ponder important issues such as whether being in "seventh heaven" is better than having "nine lives." A wonderful tongue-in-cheek mystery; I dare you to read this book without laughing (or possibly groaning). [creepy underwear]Creepy Pair of Underwear. Aaron Reynolds. Simon & Schuster, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-44240-298-0. $17.99 Remember Creepy Carrots that won a Caldecott Honor for Peter Brown? The same author and illustrator team has paired up for a continuing story of Jasper the Rabbit. Jasper is excited about his new green undies, but he does not realize that they glow in the dark until he turns off his bedroom light. He tries every way imaginable to get rid of them (stuffs them in laundry hamper; throws them in a garbage can; sends them off to China) but like the cat in the song "The Cat Came Back," so do his undies! When he finally gets rid of them, his dark bedroom makes him miss his undies, so off he goes to buy another pair. The humor and expressions on Jasper and the undies' faces will guarantee that this will be a good storytime choice. ________________________________ Reflections... [storytelling]We are now nearing the end of the two-year Early Literacy Initiative developed by the Library of Michigan. The focus was on the "Every Child Ready to Read" project, a parent education initiative commissioned by the American Library Association. Two divisions, The Public Library Association (PLA) and Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) concluded that public libraries could have an even greater impact on early literacy through an approach that focused on educating parents and caregivers. Most public libraries in Michigan received the ECRR manuals and face-to-face training was conducted in several locations throughout the state. Ten webinars were offered, and they were taped, so if you missed any of them and would like to hear them, they can be found on the Library of Michigan's Webinar Archives page. Topics included: "ECRR Library Staff Workshop"; "Early Literacy & Learning Spaces"; "Storytimes for Babies with Early Literacy Tips"; "Early Literacy Tips for Storytime: 2's and 3's"; "Early Literacy Tips for Storytime: Preschool"; "Mixed Aged Storytime Tips"; "Every Child Ready to Read Family Engagement & Kindergarten Readiness"; "Developmentally Appropriate Storytime Basics"; "Working with Early Childhood Educators and Volunteers for Early Literacy"; and "Supercharged Storytimes & the Very Ready Reading Program." There were also 19 newsletters that can still be accessed online. It has been a pleasure to work with the State Library on this initiative, and I hope that many of you will continue to encourage parents to use early literacy practices with their children, and that you will include early literacy tips within your storytime programs. ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

I want to share this as widely as possible. Feel free to share this with colleagues who may not have seen it. Since your last purchase, the required Labor Law Poster sets (4 laminated 18 x 24 panels) have been revised with an update to the Michigan Law Prohibits Discrimination poster, minor updates to the federal USERRA posting and Michigan Unemployment Insurance Act posting, and the minimum wage for contractors notice for 2018. Now is a great time to renew your subscription and get the new set! Each set is $29, but as our group grows, the price per library comes down. Last year, we ordered 103 sets, so each library paid $20 per set, including the shipping tube. You will receive all updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. Best part: This will let you tell the overly aggressive and sometimes shady vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal *and* keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your Labor Law Poster sets here here: https://goo.gl/forms/f52sVaLe0jv1G5by2 *Ordering deadline is Friday, December 15, 2017 at 5:00pm.* We'll ship posters out as soon as we receive them.

We will be hosting an event in April, wish us luck! Salem-South Lyon/Donna Olsen: We have used American Data Security. They are out of Oak Park. There are less expensive shredders but ADS has all of the right certifications. The last time we held a shred day, we partnered with the city who paid half. Be sure to get the largest truck available. We filled the truck Year 1 & 2. Then we went to ADS Year 3 & 4. Here is out description taken from Evanced: Community Document Shredding Event 8/12/2017 (9:45 AM) 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Salem-South Lyon District Library Protect your identity and the environment! Back by popular demand, we will once again be hosting a community shredding event in conjunction with the City of South Lyon. We have partnered with American Data Security, Inc. to provide secure, environmentally-friendly disposal of your private documents. Limit of 4 boxes per vehicle per day. Allen Park/Sandi Blakney We just hosted a community shred day, but it was sponsored by City Hall and did not cost the library anything. The event was scheduled for 9 AM - 1 PM, and while there were few lines, there were few lags, either. We did not limit the event to Allen Park residents. Each participant could bring up to five (5) copy paper boxes full. The truck was not full at the end of our event. Sorry - I'm not sure I was much help. If you like, I can try to get less vague answers from our City Administrator (he supervised the entire event). Belleville/Amy Greschaw Belleville ran a shredding event at the beginning of the summer this year; we went with Iron Mountain. We did not charge anyone, and we didn't limit the event to Belleville residents. I believe our event was 3 hours long as well. Iron Mountain took care of everything during the event - helping folks load items into the bin, running the equipment, etc. It really went very smoothly on the day of! I know we did not come close to reaching the truck's capacity. They were supposed to send me a certificate after the event stating how many pounds of papers were shredded, but it didn't materialize. (A bummer - we wanted to use the numbers in our statistics!) We did have a good turnout, though, and a pretty steady stream of folks bringing by their shredding. My advice would be: be explicit in all your promotional materials about what can and cannot be shredded. Be sure to specify that staples/paperclips/etc are fine to shred, as well as manila folders and the like (assuming that's the case with your company!) Make sure staff knows the details of how the event will work, because folks will definitely ask. You may want to have the confidentiality/privacy guarantee from your company printed out and ready to distribute. If you have any more questions, I'm happy to answer. Good luck! Westland/Alexis Tharp We have a community shred every year as part of Money Smart Week. We're discussing the possibility of doing it twice a year, because we always get a great response. I don't coordinate it, but here's what I know. We do the shredding free of charge and do not limit it to library patrons. We impose a limit of 5 bags or boxes of paper documents per person. I'm not sure about the capacity of our truck, but your shredding company might have recommendations on how much to allow per person. I'd get you in touch with the person coordinating, but I believe it'll be someone new this year. I'll check with them and see if they have anything to add, though. Good luck! Saline/Jess Hesselgrave I have helped organize a few shredding events in the past at my previous library, and have one scheduled here at Saline for May. We provided the shredding for free, and we did not ask for donations. For the last shredding event I did we did work with the city and they split the cost with us. I know some libraries do ask for donations, and they just have an employee collect the money if people donate. We did not limit it to our patrons, but we did limit it to residents only - no businesses. The first year I helped with it we did not have limits and several local churches and businesses showed up with vans FILLED with boxes, and the truck filled up rather quickly. There were a lot of upset residents who had small amounts of documents and couldn't utilize the service. There was a limit to four banker/copy paper sized boxes (or four paper grocery bags) per trip for each person. If they wanted to bring more, they had to get back into line and wait. We put that limit on all of our publicity, and we didn't have issues with people overstepping. There was a long line throughout the event and only a few made multiple trips. If you want to open this service up to businesses as well as residents, the box/bag limit is a way to do that and still give them the opportunity to shred items. They just have to follow the rules the same as everyone else! We had a four hour long event, and one of the years (the year the businesses showing up and we didn't set limits) it was filled within two hours. The other years it took the whole time or close to the whole time to fill the truck. We also put on our publicity that the event would last four hours OR until the truck filled. It really helped once we limited to four boxes/bags and residents only. Since you are in a much larger community and your truck holds 300 copy sized boxes, you may want to limit it to 2-3 boxes/bags a person so more people can come through. To help with traffic flow, we had people pull their vehicles up to the truck and library employees helped unload. We set up cones to make a separate lane for those shredding and they waited their turn in line. As long as we put all limits and stipulations on our publicity and announcements, we didn't have many issues. We only did the shredding at my last library once a year (because of cost), but we had calls several times a month asking when another event would be. It was crazy popular. Lou Morgan/WMU KALAMAZOO, Mich.?Western Michigan University students, faculty and staff are encouraged to ?get their shred on? by participating in a free campuswide shredding event Tuesday, April 12, to ensure all professional or personal documents are properly destroyed and recycled. The campus Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Committee is hosting the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Lot 41 near Sangren Hall. A truck with several 95-gallon containers will be provided by Data Guardian for drop off. If documents are in recyclable containers such as paper or cardboard, the entire container can be placed into the bins or directly on the truck. All plastic and metal must be removed, but there is no need to remove rubber bands or paperclips. And new this year, CDs, DVDs and floppy disks will be accepted but must be placed in a separate container. Paper documents are shredded and baled into 1,500 lb. bales. At the end of the destruction process, Data Guardian will issue a Certificate of Destruction verifying all material has been destroyed in a confidential manner. The bales of shredded paper are sent to a recycler for pulping. All recyclable material returns to the market in a variety of recycled paper products. For those who are unable to make the event and have materials to be disposed of, contact Data Guardian to schedule a pickup, for a nominal fee, at (269) 327-8553. Harrison Twp./Melissa Goins We've done a total of 3 shred events in the past. We used the company Bulldog all three times. They charge an hourly rate and do not have a capacity limit. We've limited the amount of materials that each individual may bring, but we don't limit to library card holders or residents only. The event is paid for by our friends group and we let anyone come. Guests can have two standard size boxes or bags per person (copy paper box and grocery bag are great references for standard sizes of each). Beyond that Bulldog charges $5 per bag/box. Although, I frequently tell folks if they have more than two, see if they can get a friend to come with them for drop off so they don't get charged. We've never had an issue with over-filling the truck and I don't believe anyone has ever showed up with extras...they tend to just follow the rules. The line moves rather quickly and one of the best tips I have is to make sure you have plenty of traffic control. We block off some entrances to our parking lot to make sure that traffic only flows in one direction into the parking lot and out of the parking lot in one direction. We also try to keep folks in their cars. We have plenty of staff on hand and all three times, we've had library board members and Friends of the Library volunteer to help too. As folks pull up to the side of the truck, we go to their cars with promotional library material and retrieve their bags/boxes for them. They're always happy to pop the trunk or hand over their bags. Bulldog has a video screen and if folks want to see their stuff shredded they can watch from their car. As a side note, twice we had a state representative split the cost of shred day with us. He had volunteers on hand to help as well and it worked out quite nice. He was able to schmooze at a community event and he promoted the library too. He kept asking folks if they had a library card and if they said no, he told them library cards were free today and they should definitely park and go get one. Now...of course, library cards are free everyday, but for some reason they really did keep parking and coming in to get a card ?. However, we now have a new state representative who has declined to participate with us, so we hosted the last one on our own and our director did the bit of schmoozing with the community and telling them library cards were free today. I hope you have a wonderful shred day. It is truly one of the most rewarding things we do for the community. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance. Harrison Twp./Dan Hutchins In answer to your questions: Did you provide shredding for free? Yes, for the first two bags or boxes. Additional bags or boxes are $5 each. This helps to defray the cost of the shred day and moved things along. If you charged, did you charge everyone? Or just those who brought bags or boxes past a certain quantity threshold? See above. If you did not charge but asked for donations, how did you set that up? We've never asked for donations, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. How did you limit the event to only your patrons? Check ID? Require a library card? We've never tried to limit it to our patrons. We've noted on the PR that it is for our residents only, but you will find on the day of the event that shred day is madness and it's easier just to take shredding from whoever comes than to spend time checking IDs or library cards. Also, most of the people you attract are likely to be seniors from your service area who are not library users and don't really care to become ones. Still, seniors vote and they'll remember you favorably the next time you ask for a millage increase or anything else. Spring Lake/Lisa Donner Spring Lake District Library has done several shred events now. We?re fortunate to have a great community partner -Kent Record Management ?who donates their services, so we do not charge. Anyone is welcome to bring their shred-ables, they don?t necessarily have to be library cardholders. There is a limit of 100 pounds per person. We just advertise the date, block off space for the shred truck in the parking lot, and the staff of Kent Record Management does the rest. When we first started the shred events, the company was able to shred the materials as people dropped them off, but they can no longer do that. So now when we advertise the shred dates we include the info that the materials are not shredded on site at the library because that does seem to make a difference to some people. It?s a very popular service, so we try to schedule two events each year, one in the spring (around Earth Day) and one in the fall. Paula C.

Message-ID: Hail, the Great Brain! It's been few years since I asked this, but I'm looking for responses to the any or all of the following questions: - What program worked beyond your expectations? - What continuing program still continues to blow away in program attendance and patron enthusiasm? - What new or single-time program completely blew you away in terms of the response from the public? - What new or single time program was okay successful at first and then the enthusiasm began to build and now people are asking for it again and again? Not every program is a great fit for every library, so please also give a sentence or so describing your library - urban/rural, small/medium/large (or service population size), and anything else you like. I'll happily put together a compilation. Cynthia Stanczak Library Director Albion District Library 501 S.

She had an informative PowerPoint presentation on the history of henna and how it is made naturally. She then did some basic designs on participants and brought them henna cones (both natural and synthetic to show the difference in color) for them to do their own designs!
