Message-ID: We all enjoy the feeling of being recognized by our peers for a job well done. This is your opportunity to take a few hours between now and January 12th to put together a nomination packet for one of four awards being given at RLC 2018 in Traverse City. Please consider who you know that meets the quality of excellence in the profession. Do you know someone at a small or rural library who is a leader in our profession? Do you have a Trustee or Friend who goes above and beyond the call of duty to promote and advance your library? Do you know a small or rural library that truly excels? We want to hear from you! It's time again to nominate libraries, staff, trustees, and friends of small and rural libraries for a Loleta Fyan Conference Award. Self-nominations are accepted for the Mendel award that goes to a library and it includes a cash prize! The conference will be held at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Acme outside Traverse City April 30-May 2, 2018. Nominations are due by Friday, January 12, 2018 to norriss2 at michigan.gov or by post to Sonya Schryer Norris, Library of Michigan, 702 W. Kalamazoo St., Lansing, MI 48909. There will be four awards in 2018. The categories are: * Outstanding Small/Rural Librarian Award * Trustee/Friend Award * Patron Service Award (includes children's services) * The June B. Mendel Award for Excellence in Rural Library Service (this award goes to a small/rural library) Please note that library cooperative staff and conference planning committee chairs are not eligible for conference awards. To qualify for the award the library must serve a population of 25,000 or less. Branch locations of larger libraries do not qualify for nomination. Nominations may come from a library director or staff, another library, a library user, a community business or organization, a library cooperative or a library may self-nominate for the June B.

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

Library Island is live-action simulated community engagement with practical take-homes, forcing us to rethink service development, innovation, and our strategic vision for libraries' future. Attendees will learn to use a toolkit of fast, practical, cost-effective approaches to develop a collective library vision which can be embraced by staff and stakeholders alike; by trying out each activity, attendees will also discover more about their own priorities and perspectives on what the library is and what it might become.

The webinar, titled ?Troubled Library Boards: Prevention and Survival? will be held at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Dysfunctional boards of directors are an increasingly common problem in libraries. Serving on a troubled board is stressful, and it can take the focus away from a board?s primary mission. What essential practices can prevent or minimize board problems? When a board does become dysfunctional, how can those involved survive and create change? The webinar will be led by former United for Libraries Executive Director Sally Gardner Reed, Illinois Trustee Jo Beckwith, and Algonquin (Ill.) Public Library Director Stephen Bero. Participants may submit questions (anonymously, if preferred) ahead of the webinar so that personal cases can be addressed during the question and answer period. Webinar participants will learn: * Best practices to prevent or minimize board problems. * What can be done to get a wayward Trustee back on the right track. * How to move forward as a high functioning team. The cost of the webinar is $50 for United for Libraries members and PLA members, $75 for non-members. To register, visit www.ala.org/united/training/webinars/troubledboards, call (800) 545-2433, ext. 5, or email registration at ala.org. Registration is limited for the live webinar.

Barnett earned a bachelor's degree in geography and forestry and a master's in geography and geology from Michigan State University. He received his Master of Library Science degree from Western Michigan University and his Ph.D. in historical geography from Michigan State University. Barnett became a familiar figure to countless amateur and professional historians through his 23 years as a reference archivist for the Michigan History Bureau. Barnett has researched hundreds of papers and articles for various publications and has written numerous books, including "Mining in Michigan," "Shipping Literature of the Great Lakes," and "Michigan's Early Military Forces." The 2017 State History Award for Distinguished Volunteer Service was presented to Toni Rumsey of Ludington for her years of service to the Newaygo County Museum and Heritage Center. Rumsey manages the organization's reference department and archives, where she has compiled and digitized a vast amount of information about the area. She has served on the museum's board of directors, written books about local history, created exhibits, led tours and trained other volunteers. Her tireless work on behalf of the museum and local history exemplifies the spirit of volunteerism. Detroit architectural historian Michael G. Smith received a State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press for "Designing Detroit: Wirt Rowland and the Rise of Modern American Architecture," published by Wayne State University Press. The book spotlights the work of little-known but innovative architect Wirt Rowland, the chief designer working under Albert Kahn, and analyzes Rowland's accomplishments in building design and his influence as a leader of Detroit's architectural community throughout the first half of the 20th century. A State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press was presented to Joel Stone for "Detroit 1967: Origins, Impacts, Legacies," published by Wayne State University Press. Stone, the senior curator of the Detroit Historical Society, edited 25 essays from journalists and historians to craft a book that leads to a better understanding of one of the worst civil disturbances in American history. In "Detroit 1967," Stone presents a series of powerful writings that take readers down a timeline from colonial slavery, the Jim Crow Era and the summer of 1967 to the present day. The late Don Faber of Ann Arbor was presented a State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press for "James Jesse Strang: The Rise and Fall of Michigan's Mormon King," published by University of Michigan Press. Faber's book chronicles Strang's remarkable story. During the time he spent in Michigan, Strang attempted to fill a power vacuum left by the death of Mormon leader Joseph Smith and, for six years, ruled as "king" of a colony of believers on Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan. His book brings to life the Mormon leader's role in the early history of Michigan. Susan Bandes received a State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press for "Mid-Michigan Modern: From Frank Lloyd Wright to Googie," published by Michigan State University Press. The book explores the rich variety of modernist architecture that sprang up in the mid-Michigan area around Lansing and East Lansing from 1940 to 1970. "Mid-Michigan Modern" instills a sense of appreciation for the forward-looking, progressive ideals expressed in the mid-century's architectural designs. Wallace K. Ewing, Ph.D., of Grand Haven received a State History Award in the category of Books: Private Printing for his self-published "Footprints: Stories of Native Americans in West Central Michigan." His book documents the lives of hundreds of Native Americans who lived in the Grand River Valley area. The book's genealogical section includes concise biographical sketches of almost 1,700 individuals. Eight watercolors by artist Linda Foley illustrate the book, and Jay Sam of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians provided the book's foreword. Sandra Warren received a State History Award in the category of Books: Private Printing for "We Bought a WWII Bomber: The Untold Story of a Michigan High School, a B-17 Bomber & the Blue Ridge Parkway," published by Arlie Enterprises. Her book chronicles an episode in the World War II "Buy A Bomber" campaign, where students at South High School in Grand Rapids purchased a B-17 Flying Fortress. "We Bought a WWII Bomber" brings to life the stories of South High's participation in the "Buy A Bomber" program, the Spirit of South High Flying Fortress, and wartime patriotism. The 2017 State History Award for Businesses was presented to the West Michigan Tourist Association (WMTA) for its promotion and publications of the history of western Michigan. Founded in 1917 as the nation's first grassroots tourist organization, the WMTA remains a nonprofit company funded by its west Michigan business members and promotes west Michigan travel destinations to a national audience. To celebrate the centennial of its founding, the WMTA created a 100-year timeline of the region and published a book of photographs and images entitled "100 Years of Carefree Days in West Michigan" and a 2017 travel guide that focused on its organizational history. The 2017 State History Award for Education: Educational Programs was presented to the Wild Swan Theater in Ann Arbor for its production of "Rosie the Riveter" and the educational materials it developed for the play. Wild Swan created its original production of "Rosie the Riveter" to tell the story of the women who filled factory jobs during World War II to take the place of men who were called up for military service. The program was designed for students in grades 4 to 12. The 2017 State History Award for Institutions was presented to the Local History and Genealogy Collection at the Hoyt Library in Saginaw. The Hoyt Library opened in 1890 and, in 1960, created its local history and genealogy department as a central repository for Saginaw history. The department now numbers among the Midwest's premier local history collections. In 2016, the library added a Saginaw Latino American Community Collection to represent and preserve Saginaw County's Latino-American culture. The 2017 State History Award for Local Societies was presented to the Algonac-Clay Township Historical Society of Algonac. The society was founded in 1991 and began collecting artifacts and archival materials as it sought a location for exhibits, eventually moving into the Bostwick Building and converting it into the Community Museum. Another site includes a log cabin, an interurban railway station, and a building that features farming and logging exhibits. The society's "Legends" statue honors the Chris Smith-Gar Wood Boat factory and the area's boating industry, and its Maritime Museum opened in 2013. The 2017 State History Award for Restoration/Preservation was presented to the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University for its Michigan Labor History Mural Restoration. The Reuther Library's two-year project preserved, restored and exhibited a 9- by 20-foot oil painting in its public reading room. The restoration project repaired 75 years of stains and damage and returned the painting to its original beauty. The 2017 State History Award for Special Programs/Events was presented to the University of Michigan for its production of "True Blue! A Tribute to Michigan." The live-action multimedia presentation celebrated the bicentennial of the university's founding. It incorporated music, theater, and dance and featured celebrated alumni performing alongside faculty and students from many University of Michigan schools and colleges. Performed for an audience of 3,500 people, "True Blue" hailed the university's history, accomplishments, tradition and character. The 2017 State History Award for the Best Article in Michigan History Magazine was presented to Frances Kai-Hwa Wang for her article "Vincent Chin: A Catalyst for the Asian-American Civil Rights Movement." The article appeared in the magazine's March/April 2017 edition and examined the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese-American auto industry draftsman. Two men were charged with second-degree murder, pled guilty to manslaughter, and were sentenced to probation and fines. The light sentence outraged the nation's Asian-American community and led to changes in hate-crime law and minimum sentencing, along with recognition of victims' rights. # # # 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.

If you've ever wanted to be part of an exciting endeavor, here's your chance to review entries for the 2017 Write Michigan Short Story Contest (a statewide short story contest sponsored by Kent District Library and Schuler Books & Music). Reviewers are the first round volunteer judges that narrow down the entries for the Finals Judges and Public Online Voting in January. * Who: Those who love to read, who love to promote the written word, who love to see good things happen to people and who love new ideas. * What: Write Michigan Short Story Contest is taking entries for all ages from people who live in Michigan and awarding cash prizes to winners. * Where: Submissions will be available for review online. Volunteers will be given a login on December 4, 2017. * When: Reading/reviewing will take place from December 4, 2017 to December 28, 2017. Contest ends November 30. *We will also have need for reviewers to review last minute stories if other reviewers did not complete reviews. These will only be 2-3 stories from December 29, 2017 - January 1, 2018. We will contact established reviewers in mid-November to get those willing and able to do last minute reviews on the Last Minute List. * How: Volunteers are asked to read entries in one of four categories (adult-18+; teen-12-17; youth-under 12; Spanish - all ages). * Each volunteer will have 10-13 stories total. * Each story will be read by two volunteers. * Story authors will not be disclosed but we ask that if volunteers have entered the contest or have family members who did, they please review a different contest category. * Please find our judging criteria here: http://writemichigan.org/reviewers_faq.pdf. However, the initial score that volunteers will be providing will be on a simple scale of one to ten, with ten being excellent. * Why: We want to support talented Michigan writers. Details: 1. Sign up to be a reviewer via KDL's VolunteerHub page. 2. New users, create an account and enter the Join Code WriteMichigan when prompted. 3. Current Accounts, go to My Account and Enter Join Code WriteMichigan. 4. Click sign up next to the reviewer category of your choice. 5.

It looks like you can only subscribe for one year at these rates.? It might buy some time if you cancel through your vendor, get a refund for the unused portion and subscribe direct.? It seems like only in the vendor world can publishers raise prices mid-subscription and expect to get paid. Who is your magazine vendor?? A good question to ask is what is your current subscription end date.? With claims, combine and extends for renewal overlaps, etc., you may be paid out 1.5 to 2 years currently.? I would think of refusing to pay the "increase" until such time as the current, paid subscription ran its course. (***Limited applicability)? Another thing to investigate is how much of this content we are paying for twice.? The SLJ reviews are available through Syndetics but I'm not sure how quickly these appear in our catalog or whether they are linked to the pre-pub records. Dexter will still subscribe one way or another.? My bigger concern is how this will affect other titles by the same publisher.? This may be a trial to see if they can bump LJ, Horn Book, etc.? If this price bump comes to fruition, I could see us going to a direct subscription and waiting for the discount renewal mailers to roll in each year.? Claiming would be a pain, but so is being gouged.? With a direct subscription, there would be mid-year price changes, but probably less notification as well.? At $20 an issue and considering the level of advertising and complementary content generation (reviews) the increase seems excessive.

Computing skills are the most sought-after in the US job market, with demand growing 3X the national average. Computing is where the jobs are - and where they will be in the future - but girls across the US are being left behind. Today, less than a quarter of computing jobs are held by women, and that number is declining. About Clubs: Clubs are FREE after-school programs for 6-12th grade girls to use computer science to impact their community and join our sisterhood of supportive peers and role models. They can be hosted in schools, universities, libraries, community centers, faith-based organizations, or nonprofits. Clubs are led by Facilitators, who can be teachers, computer scientists, librarians, parents, or volunteers from any background or field. Many Facilitators have NO technical experience and learn to code alongside their Club members. Please join the staff of Girls Who Code, as they present this webinar to explain more about Clubs and how to launch a Club for girls in your community. This free webinar opportunity is shared by the Missouri State Library. Please see the registration link for details. Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Jenifer Strauss uses story to help educators, organizations and individuals connect, communicate, and achieve their goals. Following ten years as a middle school educator, Jenifer combined her love of teaching and storytelling and in 1993, founded her consulting business, Story Be Told. During her years in the classroom, Jenifer used storytelling with her students to capture interest, motivate learning, and inspire writing. Jen learned that people think, learn and imagine in story or narrative and helped her students make powerful connections between imagining, speaking, and writing. Now traveling nationally, Jenifer offers dynamic story performances, writing workshops, trainings and keynotes along with longterm involvements as an Artist-in-Residence. Jenifer is the creator of the Turning Points Personal Narrative Process which she presents to schools, organizations, businesses and individuals. Her curriculum-based program, "Tell It, Read It, Write It" has been performed and positively received by schools across the United States. Since 1993, Jenifer has designed library programs to coincide with the national Summer Reading theme along with offering year-round library programs for patrons from toddler to adult, including: staff training, Friend of the Library Dinner Theater, Parent Nights and Teen Lock-in Nights. Jenifer's credentials include a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan, an elementary education degree from Western Michigan University, and a secondary education degree in Biology from Michigan State University. Jenifer is cofounder of the Center for Imagination, and partner in a collaborative business called Cygnus Storytelling, LLC, whose publications and recordings include Telling Stories: The Cygnus Storytelling Hand Book, and a CD called U Tell A Tale: Stories Told Through-U. Her newest recording; Michigan Legends and Lore: Stories from Shore to Shore, was released in the fall of 2009 and focuses on Michigan History.

Message-ID: Are other Michigan libraries tracking reading by books, minutes or hours? How many readers in Michigan met their library's minimum reading goal? Take a look at our data on Summer Reading Programs in Michigan, from 2014-2017, to find out. For example: 205,989 Michiganders attended summer reading events in 2017! This data reflects the libraries who submitted the Library of Michigan's SRP Surveys from 2014-2017. Thank you to all of the 266 libraries who reported in 2017, and those in years past, it gives us a good insight to trends and helps shape future programs.

The goals of NRPM are two-fold: -To raise awareness of the runaway and homeless youth crisis and the issues that these young people face -To educate the public about solutions and the role they can play in ending youth homelessness Keep in mind that between 1.6 and 2.8 million youth run away in a year. If all of these young people lived in one city, it would be the fifth largest city in the United States. The theme of NRPM 2017 is ?Friends Helping Friends.? This theme is designed to recognize the role key people play in the lives of at-risk youth. Our goal is to unite all communities together to help support youth as they navigate their world. There are many materials to support you in promoting NRPM: -Download the NRPM 2017 ToolKit and Messaging Guide , which includes information on easy ways to get involved, event planning, fundraising, and getting the word out. -Spread the word about NRPM through a media press release with our Sample Press Release -Make a request to your local elected official to sign a proclamation for NRPM.

Including more than 1,000 different lessons covering more than 90 topics, this is a great, free resource to help your patrons (or staff) learn new skills.

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, The Library of Michigan publishes a bimonthly newsletter called the LM Dispatch. We reach a lot library workers, but we also reach many citizens who are interested in Michigan libraries. In addition we have good inroads with media outlets who have reporters or editors signed up to receive the newsletter. A survey of readers found that library success stories were highly valued and we aim to include multiple writers from the field speaking directly to their current activities in every issue. You are invited to be both a reader of, and a writer for, the LM Dispatch. Do you have an innovative program or approach that you think other libraries could benefit from hearing about? I want to hear from you! Are you engaged in a community partnership or outreach effort that is working? I want to hear about it! Do you touch your patron's lives in ways that are unique for your area or your library size? I'm interested! Keep us in mind as you have successes at the local level. Other libraries are interested and we can help get the word out. Our subscriber list is double that of Michlib-l. A typical issue of the Dispatch is made up of 8-10 short articles. Articles should be a minimum of 300 and maximum of 400 words. See here for past issues if you'd like to read a few articles to get an idea of what we're looking for. You can also sign up to receive the Dispatch as new issues are released. Please contact me with story ideas at norriss2 at michigan.gov. I'd be happy to work with you!

The "Autism Welcome Here: Library Programs, Services and More" grant honors the work of Libraries and Autism: We're Connected cofounder Meg Kolaya for her contributions in promoting inclusion. Each year, a total of $5,000 will be awarded. All types of libraries in the US or Canada are encouraged to apply. Proposals can fund projects and services directed to any age group. Science Kits for Public Libraries Application Deadline: November 15, 2017 The IEEE Science Kits for Public Libraries Grant is offering up to $2,000 in funding to public libraries in the Michigan and Wisconsin area for the development of circulating math and science collections for pre-university students (K-12). 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 update also includes a new topic browse experience for the most popular and highly-searched health and wellness topics, featuring portal topic pages that organize results from different content types on one page, similar to Gale's In Context product line. While the look is new, HWRC delivers the same comprehensive, up-to-date content that customers have trusted for years. Now users can more easily search and work with HWRC's broad collection of full-text reference sources, including respected Gale medical encyclopedias; full-text articles from health-related journals, magazines, and newspapers; images; streaming video; and podcasts. All content from the alternative health module was already fully integrated into HWRC, so with this update, we've dropped the reference to the module from the title, and the product is now known simply as Health & Wellness Resource Center. The new homepage features four major topic groupings: Diseases and Conditions; Drugs; Diagnostics and Tests; and Therapies, Treatments, and Surgeries. The new release includes 50 updated Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine entries on popular topics.

Planning for CSLP?s Success! by Matt McLain [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/matt_mclain.jpg]The Board had its annual retreat last month in St. Louis where we put together the bones for our strategic plan for the next three years. We spent a lot of time going through our annual timeline, which was time well spent. It is a complex undertaking to keep track of all of the tasks that need to be completed. We discussed the order for each and the timing that needs to take place so that the manuals can be completed, printed, and distributed ahead of when everyone needs it. We discussed how that timing affects the manual writers and editors, vendors, and state reps. More immediately, we are working with Demco on a contract for 2019 so we can ensure we have quality promotional materials and prizes for CSLP member libraries. One new change that has already taken place is our move toward hiring the writers and editor for the teen and adult manuals directly with CSLP, rather than hiring them through Demco. The Spanish manual has always been produced directly through CSLP. We have much more to discuss beyond 2019, and we are excited about these changes that will lead to an even better CSLP. Thank you for your membership in CSLP. We value our members and our organization is stronger for your active engagement! CSLP is partnering with Scholastic! Responding to your requests to make more books available for summer reading incentives and thematic book displays, CSLP is proud to announce that we have partnered with Scholastic to offer your libraries a curated list of titles to support this year?s theme ?Libraries Rock!? Scholastic is making individual titles, as well as collections, available to you at their lowest prices. This is an exclusive offer available only to CSLP member libraries.

What does a pair of Barbie legs, a pillow, and over 200 cigarette butts have in common? They are all items that are no longer on the streets of Idaho Springs, CO! [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_0652.jpg]Dawning latex gloves, Sharon Bassist, Program Coordinator for the Clear Creek Library District, CO, helped lead groups of tiny volunteers around the areas surrounding the library and local schools. Children saw first hand how much trash gets thrown on the ground and made a pledge to pick up trash when they see it, even if it?s not theirs. Clean Drinking Water Taking inspiration from the book ?Water Princess? by Susan Verde, Wendy Rowe, Children?s librarian at the Barrington Public Library, Barrington, NH, created this fantastic looking well pump from papier-m?ch?. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/well1.jpg]?Water Princess? is a story of a young girl?s quest to bring clean drinking water to her African village. This well pump helped raise awareness of the importance of ensuring communities have access to clean water, and collected $66.10 in coins. All funds were donated to Water is Life, and organization that digs wells and provides water filtration straws to communities with no clean water sources. Did you have a program that helped ?Build a Better World?? Please send your photos and any informative details to Luke Kralik at: luke.kralik at cslpreads.org I would love to share them in our newsletter. Looking for some ideas to use or share? https://www.pinterest.com/cslpreads/ Spread the Summer Reading News! Every month we email a Newsletter to our State Reps using an internal mailing list. This is a great way to communicate what is happening at CSLP and many State Reps pass the information along to the librarians in their state. However, this limits the sharing of information to librarians in states with well established mailing lists. To help offset this, and to make the newsletter available to all those interested, we have set up a MailChimp account. Anyone with an email address can sign up on the CSLP homepage, or by using this direct link: http://eepurl.com/cYq7o1 Please share it with anyone you know who is passionate about summer learning!

[https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Luke_headshot.jpg]On the week of September 20th, I attended the Board?s annual retreat in St. Louis. This was my first opportunity to meet many of the board members in person, and it was a great experience. While there was some standing business to address, our main focus was on the drafting of a strategic plan. Often the strategic planning process, and the plans they generate, can cause a lot of librarian eyes to roll. This was not the case at the retreat. I was very impressed with the board?s firm commitment to CSLP and its mission to empower libraries to foster community. Details of the plan are still being developed, but I believe it provides CSLP a pathway to help further its mission and will make a positive impact on the libraries we serve. Stay tuned for details once the plan is polished into a more presentable format! September also brought the signing of the 2018 PSA and Summer Reading Champion agreements. With the theme of Libraries Rock! I am sure we can expect some lively PSAs. By the time you see the newsletter, the storyboards should be well underway. If you have leveraged the PSAs in the past, I would love to hear what you did, and I am sure your fellow librarians would as well! Thank you! luke.kralik at cslpreads.org 503-842-0582 Spotlight on a Reading Superstar! Sharing your love of reading can take many forms. For high school student Danielle Heiert this meant building, and offering, over forty ?little libraries? to community members in her hometown of Campbell County, Kentucky. Community members held a competition decorating the libraries Danielle constructed, and then installed them throughout the county. Danielle worked with her local public library to ensure the libraries were well stocked, and helped spread her love of reading to others! 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!

Everyone likes to plan for success, but we need to plan for disasters as well. Fires, floods, storms, thefts, injuries, violence - all of these can strike at any time and often when least expected.

Despite that fact, staff members often simply hope for the best and have no plans for the worst. This workshop focuses on drafting a disaster plan that history institutions can use to implement an effective response in the event that disaster strikes.

The program, which will begin in the winter 2018 semester, will prepare students for careers in information management and related fields. The 30-credit MSIM is offered fully online, allowing students to learn remotely regardless of location. Students have multiple specializations to choose from, including software tools, web-based information systems, data analytics, health and scientific data management, and user experience. "At a time when data and information in all forms are becoming increasingly important, adding the MSIM allows us to tailor our degree offerings more closely to the competencies that students' varying career interests demand," said Stephen Bajjaly, associate dean and professor at the School of Information Sciences. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts good to excellent growth prospects for the various information management subspecialties. Since data is a strategic resource in virtually every organization today, employees with up-to-date information management skills and competencies are more employable than those who are lacking. "The new MSIM degree prepares an information workforce with the skills that are needed to thrive in data-intensive environments," explained Associate Professor Dr. Deborah Charbonneau. "A wide range of disciplines have experienced an explosion of data, including health and the sciences. Graduates of the new program will be well-positioned to embark on exciting career paths as a data analyst, health informatician, data scientist, and network systems administrator." The newest degree is being offered in addition to the master of library and information science program and expands on the graduate certificate in information management. To learn more about master of science in information management visit http://sis.wayne.edu/msim/. About the School of Information Sciences at Wayne State University The School of Information Sciences has been preparing professionals for library and information related careers for almost 100 years. SIS has been an ALA-accredited program for 50 years and recently joined iSchools, the international consortium of information schools. Based in Detroit, the school offers two fully online master's degree programs and several graduate-level certificate programs. With experienced faculty, well-designed digital learning tools, and access to a wide-range of resources and services, the School of Information Science provides a personalized learning experience for students, regardless of location.

It was designated as a "Top Library" in the United States in the 2017 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge. This is the first year Scholastic is recognizing the contributions of libraries and community partners along with schools in the challenge. The Pickford Community Library coordinated and administrated the challenge for Pickford Public Schools, area homeschoolers, and participants from other Eastern Upper Peninsula schools. These students read more than 235,764 minutes from May 8 to September 8 this summer. In addition, the local community provided outstanding support for the library's "piggyback rewards program" in which students earned prizes all summer long. The Pickford Community Library will be featured in 2018 Scholastic Book of World Records and will receive a commemorative plaque and a celebration kit to recognize student reading achievements. This summer, children in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., two U.S. territories and 14 countries read 138,399,392 million minutes in the 2017 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge. The complete list of Top Libraries, Top Community Partners, and "Best in State" schools is available at www.scholastic.com/summer. The Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge is designed to help kids turn the "summer slide"-the learning loss which can occur over the summer months-into a "summer leap" by discovering the power and joy of reading for fun.

The RSA has traveled thousands of miles, recording over 300 Michigan musicians via digital tape, film, photograph and fine art. The project seeks to collect, preserve, and make accessible music covering the gamut of genres, cultures, ages, and genders of Michigan music. Our mission is to preserve for future generations the opportunity to examine their own roots, as well as build understanding of the experience of their neighbors. Through the documentation of the artists in their respective geographies and societal context, the RSA hopes to provide culturally inclusive opportunities for research and reflection.* *All materials collected by the RSA will be housed and preserved in the Archives of Michigan in Lansing in perpetuity. They will be made accessible to the public via a website currently under construction. I will ask each artist to sign a waiver giving me the mechanical rights to the recordings- meaning that I will be asking for ownership of these specific recordings for putting them into the Archives in Lansing. I won't own the songs, or the artist likeness, or any intellectual property rights. I will ask each artist to sign a form waiving the mechanical rights- meaning the specific recording that I make, so that I can place that specific recording/video/photography into the Michigan archives.* Good luck!

My kiddos have classroom jobs and one of them is the TV operator. They get to pick two different books to watch during our snack time. We listen to the nonfiction book and then watch the other one. This is such an amazing learning time and my students feel so empowered because they get to pick which one they want to learn about. I am SO thankful my students get to experience all of the titles and the love of reading/listening/learning! -Rhonda L., 2nd Grade Teacher Mt.

A very big "Thank You!" to all of you who responded to my quest for multi-function-printer enlightenment! A couple of people requested the compilation of responses, so I've provided them below: We don't have a maintenance agreement on our printers. Our copy machine is leased. I just checked and the information about costs for copies is in our bookkeepers files and they are not onsite. Oh, I will tell you that we asked the companies to bring us a machine to try. We had three different companies each bring in a machine, at different times. My staff used it for a week and then we talked about which one we preferred. I had a form that we used to make notes, so we would remember which one did what. ______________________________ Oh deal with Mari Martin at Hasselbring Clark... 517-388-7539 is her cell. She's amazing. ______________________________ If you're in the market for something new, this link on the TLN website: http://tln.lib.mi.us/discounts/ - includes a list of copier/printer vendor contacts and discounts available and whether they are available statewide. _____________________________ We are a class 1 library Our lease agreement is 89.97 per month, pluse .01 for B&W and .06 for Color which is about 90.00 per month total @ 180.00 per month. Cost covers all maintenance, toners, supplies which does copies, fax, scan We charge .50 for color .20 for b&w, .20 for scanning, 1.00 per page for faxing and it usually works out to the same in income We love the lease and not dealing with separate maintenance contracts and old machine. __________________________ We're facing the same issue. So we canceled our maintenance agreement. While I'm shopping for a new printer/copier and waiting for mine to break, I'm buying toner through other sources...and saving a lot of money! _________________________ I just got the bill yesterday. I pay one to two cents for black and white copies on a printer, and then a printer/copier, and six cents on color. This is with ab dick leasing, which was CBI. ________________________ Dealing with copier companies is its own kind of hell, isn't it? Dante never wrote about it, but he would have if there had been copier companies then. And those copier guys..... they would cut a deal to sell their own mothers. A really great class of people. Try to remember that you'll never see them again, even if you want to. A number of years ago we went to leasing all of our copiers. That way if they don't work right then the company has to come and take them back and give us something else. We were paying a small fortune in maintenance contracts, or if we didn't get the contract then we paid a small fortune in having them drive out from Grand Rapids to fix the darn thing. When they own the machine they take better care of it. And if you happen to get a lemon, they replace it. Leasing copiers is what Kent District Library and Grand Rapids and the big guys do, and they're absolutely right. It's so much less hassle and much better customer service. Every once in a while you can own a copier that lasts forever like yours, but every once in a while you get one that doesn't even go 3 years. You'll find you get the less-than-3-years ones a lot more often. We're paying $365 a month for four copiers and we're charging 0.15 for black and white copies and $0.50 for color copies. And by the way, we've worked with other vendors and some are good and some are not, but Michigan Office Systems (otherwise known as MOS) serves a lot of libraries and is good, honest and reasonable. ________________________________ Sharon, we have our copier through Michigan Office Solutions. We are billed: black and white copies are $0.015070 and color copies are $0.076050. These rates are charged per copies run per quarter. _______________________________ Our b&w cost is .012 and color is .14. We own our copier and may be in the market for a new copier in the next year or two. _____________________________ What you are going through is pretty common as the copier gets older, the maintenance charge increases. We went through the process a few years ago and decided to keep the machine as it was working fine. However, started to have some problems and like you, the maintenance kept going up so we just purchased a RICOH MPC3504 multifunction color copier for $5,375. Lease options were available but we purchased as funds were available. We did a RFP and received 5 quotes. The quarterly copy and maintenance expense is $0.003 for Black and White and $0.030 for Color. The charge includes all supplies except paper. We were paying $0.02472 for B&W and $0.09105 for Color on about a 10 year old paid off machine. These charges did not include toner and were going up about 3% a year. Your current company should be able to tell you how much the yearly rate increases will be. _____________________________ As luck would have it, I have very current information for you about our situation here. I was leasing my current machine through Michigan Office Solutions. My machine is 5 years old this year, and my lease is up next month. I chose to renew my lease (rather than buy a new machine), and upgrade machines to a new model. My pricing is: $234/month for the machine. This includes service fees, 4,500 black and white copies a month, and my toner. Then I pay an additional $.08 per color copy. If I go over my monthly 4,500 b&w, then I pay $.0009 per copy over 4,500. I have been very happy with the arrangement with MOS, and the changeover of machines has gone very smoothly. -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

The slides are saved on a disc that is swapped out from time to time with fresh posters. The board is on a pedestal that stands near our entry way. Lately we've begun to question whether or not it's looked at. We thought to move it closer to the circ desk, but the pedestal makes it awkward and there's no good place to plunk it where it will be both readable and not something people would trip over. Now we are considering investing in something with a larger display that could be mounted on a wall and that could do more, perhaps stream high interest news coverage when big things were happening. Does anyone have something in place like this that they like and would recommend? Has anyone gone this route only to discover they don't like it? Off list replies will be compiled and posted.

Vandenberg (1884-1951), Republican from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was the model of a consensus builder, and the coalitions he spearheaded continue to form the foundation of American foreign and domestic policy today. Originally the editor and publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald, Vandenberg was appointed and later elected to the Senate in 1928, where he became an outspoken opponent of the New Deal and a leader among the isolationists who resisted FDR's efforts to aid European allies at the onset of World War II. But Vandenberg soon recognized the need for unity at the dawn of a new world order; and as a Republican leader, he worked closely with Democratic administrations to build the strong bipartisan consensus that established the Marshall Plan, the United Nations, and NATO. Vandenberg, as Meijer reveals, was instrumental in organizing Congressional support for these monumental twentieth-century foreign policy decisions November 11th Sailing into History, author Talk with Frank Boles, 1 - 2:15 P.M. Lake Michigan Room, 4th floor [cid:image008.jpg at 01D348D0.42858380]The Great Lakes create a vast transportation network that supports a massive shipping industry.

December 9th Artist talk and exhibit with Catherine McClung, 1 - 2 P.M. Exhibit, December 9th - January 31st, Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Room, 4th Floor. [Image result for Catherine McClung]Ms. McClung may be best known for work with the Lenox China Company where she created the Winter Greetings designs featuring spritely birds. Ms. McClung has specialized in painting birds often native to Michigan. Please join us for a special exhibit of her artwork. Exhibit, October 14th - January 5th: Angling and Conservation in Michigan, the Inheritance from the English Leisure Society , Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Room, 4th floor A book tells a story, while a book collection can tell many stories about the owners, content, and history. The Bower-Averbach Collection held at the Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Room is just such a collection, where its value en masse far outweighs one single volume or digital facsimile. The information comes not just from the type on the pages but from the owners, writers, illustrators, and the physical nature of the book itself. The current exhibit, Angling and Conservation in Michigan, the Inheritance from the English Leisure Society, considers the history and origins of water conservation in Michigan and the tradition of fly fishing upon which it is based. The exhibit highlights just some of the material collected by Seymour Bower and J.E. Averbach. Seymour Bower (1855 - 1924), for 25 years the superintendent of fisheries in Michigan, was one of the nation's foremost authorities on fisheries. This collection includes works of scientific as well as antiquarian interest, and many particularly concern Michigan and the Great Lakes area. J.E. Averbach assembled an equally impressive array of titles in the field. The exhibit will be on display from October 14th, 2017 until January 5th 2018. Contributing authors include: a 14th century nun, English royalty, an American President and a judge in the Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti trial. The Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Gallery is located on the 4th floor of the Library of Michigan.

Specifically, they want to know whether libraries are using their allotted budgets and if it meets their needs. While we know there are many reasons why libraries do or do not request funding for C2, what we want to make crystal clear to the FCC is that having funds available is critical for libraries, ensuring they can maintain and upgrade their WiFi connectivity. How much are we talking about? In 2016, libraries requested more than $50 million for C2 through the E-rate program. The deadline to submit comments is October 23, 2017 and we're calling on you to tell the FCC libraries need secure funding for E-rate. Tell the FCC how much your patrons depend on the library to connect. How to submit a comment: * Format your response as a PDF document. Don't forget to use your library's letterhead! * Go to https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings * For the Proceeding Number, enter the following proceeding numbers: 13-184 * Complete the rest of the information on the form. * Upload your comments at the bottom of the form. Not sure what to write? Use this template (pdf) to tell the FCC how your patrons depend on the library to connect to the internet. We encourage you to edit the template to add specifics that are important to your library and your community. Does your library offer special programs that depend in WiFi? Do you know a patron comes in to use your WiFi to look for jobs or have you seen a student doing homework on a tablet? These stories and examples are critical for the FCC to know about! For more information about the E-rate program, visit the FCC website or District Dispatch.

Drawing from personal experiences working in small museums, the speaker will address several low-cost options for designing and mounting displays. Organizations with changing exhibit areas are especially encouraged to attend. Please Note: This workshop will take place at the Meijer Education Center at the Historical Society of Michigan, 5815 Executive Dr., Lansing, MI, 48911. Remote access will be available.

If documentation is being kept on a patron's behavior, how do you maintain this documentation so it is not in violation of privacy? Or, if your library does not keep documentation, do you have other practices/procedures in place staff are trained to follow? Thank you for your feedback!

Poetry Against Slavery: Elizabeth Chandler Elizabeth Chandler was born in Delaware in 1807 and moved to Tecumseh, Michigan Territory, in 1830. Elizabeth's poems, such as "The Slave Ship," told of slavery's evils-a fierce advocate for abolition, Chandler worked tirelessly through her poetry to spread awareness of the negativity surrounding slavery. In 1832, she and Laura Smith Haviland founded the Logan Female Anti-Slavery Society. It created an important link in the Underground Railroad to help freedom-seekers reach Canada. Following a life-long career of abolitionist ideals, Elizabeth Chandler died in 1834 and is buried near Tecumseh. Coming up next with History HoundsT.

Michiganders on the Road Hails Tour a Success! on-the-roadFrom October 13-16, 2017, a wonderful group of HSM members and history enthusiasts embarked on a tour of Lincoln's hometown and surrounding history on the "Life of Lincoln" motorcoach tour. Taking in the sights, sounds, and food of Lincoln's stomping grounds, the tour explored the beautiful Lincoln museum, New Salem, Lincoln's home in Springfield, and the old capitol building. Our fearless tour guide, Historical Society of Michigan staff member Bob Myers, led the successful charge across statelines and had only positive things to say following the trip's conclusion: "The Lincoln home and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum were a huge hit! The group had a great time, and there was great food and times to be had." For those of you who missed out on the "Life of Lincoln" tour-never fear! We have an exciting year of bus tours planned for 2018. Stay tuned for more updates regarding Michiganders on the Road tours on our program page. _____ _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

Last week we asked you to file comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to show your support for WiFi funding in the E-rate program and at last count over 140 comments were on record! Didn't file? No worries. The FCC makes it easy for you to participate in this very important proceeding. With the first deadline passed, we are now in the "reply period" and you can do two things to add your voice: 1. Use the template (doc) we provide to build your WiFi story and submit it. 2. Read the District Dispatch post that highlights some library comments and the ALA comments and use the template to file in support of those. Regardless of which you choose, we encourage you to tailor your message to describe what is important to your community and which services your library provides that depend on WiFi and strong internet access to meet those needs. Does your library offer special programs that depend in WiFi? Do you know a patron who comes in to use your WiFi to look for jobs or have you seen a student doing homework on a tablet? These stories and examples are critical for the FCC to know about! The deadline to submit reply comments is November 7, 2017. Read the District Dispatch post from last week for background on the Public Notice and the call to action.

We received 426 responses. One question we asked was: What are the top 3 most used databases by your library/patrons? Here's what library staff had to say: 1. Chilton's (117 times it appeared somewhere in the top 3) 2. Learning Express (117) 3. Opposing Viewpoints in Context (94) 4. Academic OneFile (87) 5. Britannica school (68) We decided to cross-reference this in two ways. First, we looked at the total number of full-text retrievals from the MeL databases. 1. BookFlix 2. WorldBook Kids 3. Academic OneFile 4. Britannica Suite 5. Opposing Viewpoints in Context All 5 of these received over 1 million full-text retrievals for the 2017 fiscal year! As you can see, Opposing Viewpoints in Context, Britannica and Academic OneFile made both of these lists. Let's look at one other metric and that's the rate at which items were clicked on from MeL.org in the month of September of this year. This is the percentage of outbound traffic from MeL.org. 1. BookFlix (40%) 2. Academic OneFile (6%) 3. Learning Express (4%) 4. Opposing Viewpoints in Context (3%) 5. Chilton's (3%) Looking at this list, we can see that Chilton's and Learning Express, two resources rated highly in the survey, come back to the fore. However, by far and away the resource with the highest traffic at MeL.org is BookFlix, an early literacy resource. Many thanks to Kathy Kosinski, our data analyst, for pulling these numbers together and allowing us to compare and confirm our ideas about database usage with actual usage. 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.

He presented in other libraries after the publication of his second book, Lake invaders : invasive species and the battle for the future of the Great Lakes. Our program focused on his recently published book on Michigan craft beer, Brewed in Michigan : the new golden age of brewing in the great beer state. Our Director received permission from the Board for us to sample craft beers. There were five (Well four, plus Budweiser as a baseline) beers sampled and discussed. We had 47 people in attendance and they seemed to really enjoy the program. Bill is a great presenter. He was also a pleasure to work with. We gave him a $100.00 honorarium, but he might do the program for less, or perhaps even just for the opportunity to sell his beautiful book. He lives in Bloomfield Hills so nearby libraries will probably be the best, but he did invite me to tell all the librarians in the state about the program! Thanks!

This is exciting for the community; however the price of new shelves is not affordable for the library budget. Does anyone have information for a type of commercial liquidating company that may have a large inventory of used library or bookstore shelves? Or are there any libraries planning on renovating a large area, or building a new facility and selling shelves? We would like to have the shelving match as much as possible. The new library space is around 800 square feet and we likely would need more wall units and a few free standing shelves. We still need to configure where furniture will go based on the space we have been given, but would like to look at our options sooner that later. Please email me any information off list.

This Month's Wisdom... "I love easy nonfiction books that tell a story, and yet the child learns some simple facts. Since the Every Child Ready to Read Project encourages us to use more nonfiction books in storytimes, it is always great to find one that works." ~ Sue McCleaf Nespeca, referring to "Give Bees A Chance" by Bethany Barton. Supercharged Storytimes and the Every Child Ready to Read Project [Storytime]For almost two years now, the Library of Michigan has been providing training and support for ALA's Every Child Ready to Read Project. However, many of you might also have heard of the term "Supercharged Storytimes" and wonder what, if anything, it has to do with the Every Child Ready to Read Project. This will be one topic to be included in the last webinar that the State Library is offering on November 28 at 2:00 p.m. (see more information on that webinar below in "Reflections.") Do public library storytimes make a difference? Is there evidence that these programs actually help children eventually learn to read? These are two of the questions that arose when the iSchool of the University of Washington was awarded two grants by the Institute for Museum and Library Services for their Project VIEWS (Valuable Initiatives in Early Learning that Work Successfully) and VIEWS2 research. The basis of the VIEWS2 research was used when creating the Supercharged Storytime program. A VIEWS2 Planning Tool (VPT) was used to observe storytimes in forty libraries, and 240 storytime observations were conducted. The goal was for librarians to become more intentional with planning and reflecting on early literacy content in their storytime programs. The VIEWS2 Planning Tool supports the practices of the Every Child Ready to Read Project 2nd edition, which describes five practices: talking, reading, singing, playing and writing. However, the terminology that was presented in the Every Child Ready to Read Project 1st edition also plays a part. Those six practices were: print motivation, print awareness, phonological awareness, vocabulary, narrative skills and alphabetic knowledge. So here are the VIEWS2 Early Literacy Domains: Communication, Language Use, Phonological Awareness, Vocabulary, Comprehension, Print Concepts, Alphabetic Knowledge, and Writing Skills. In Supercharged Storytimes, for each of the above domains there is a chart of early literacy behaviors broken down by three age groups: birth to 18 months; 18 months to 36 months; and 36 months to 60 months. By following suggestions from the VIEWS2 Planning Tool, librarians are asked to try out some of the behaviors, a little at a time. Here are some questions that can be asked: 1. What is my plan for my storytime? 2. How can I be intentional about incorporating some behaviors from the VIEWS2 early literacy domains into the activities I have designed around the ECRR practices? 3. What early outcomes am I looking for in my storytime? 4. How might I be interactive and engage with the children and parents or caregivers during my storytime? 5. What impact is the early literacy focus of my supercharged storytimes having on the children and parents/caregivers who make up the community I serve? 6. How can I articulate to my community and community partners how my supercharged storytimes support early literacy, strengthening children's ability to enter school ready to learn to read? Want more information on Supercharged Storytimes? Consider attending the webinar on November 28, and if you wish to invest yourself more fully in this project, consider purchasing the book that is mentioned on the website below. ________________________________ Recommended Websites on Supercharged Storytimes [Supercharged]Supercharged Storytimes: An Early Literacy Planning and Assessment Guide, published by ALA Editions, recommends "simple interactive ways to emphasize early literacy techniques and encourage children to use and practice their pre-reading skills while preserving the delight inherent in storytime." And unlike other storytime resources, this offers guidance in performing assessment, as well as giving tips for planning and conducting storytimes. WebJunction is a free resource that you can explore which will give you much information regarding Supercharged Storytimes. Here you can: * Access free archived orientation content through the Supercharged Storytimes course in the WebJunction catalog! Learners will be prompted to log-in to our free catalog and/or create a user account. * Review the Supercharged Storytimes orientation outline, which includes details on the learning objectives, core content, and dynamic social learning platform deployed in this program. * Access ideas and inspiration from fellow storytime providers at the Supercharged Library. * Familiarize yourself with the Project VIEWS2 research and resources for librarians and educators at the VIEWS2 website. ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Groovy]Groovy Joe: Dance Party Countdown. Eric Litwin. Orchard, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-545-88379-5. $17.99. Here is the sequel to the popular Groovy Joe Ice Cream & Dinosaurs by the author of the first couple Pete The Cat books that everyone loved. The early Pete books were of course illustrated by James Dean, and his falling out with author Eric, led to a string of Pete the Cat books by Dean that mostly were not as popular with kids. Eric branched out on his own and wrote the Nut series, which were mildly popular until he hit upon his dog character, Groovy Joe. These books are very amusingly and successfully illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld (Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site). As with the first book, there is a link to the music at www.scholastic.com/groovyjoestories. At the site, you can download Eric telling/singing the story, and you can download the "Disco Party Bow Wow" song. There is also a video of Eric and children doing the moves for the song, and there is a trailer for the book. The story is a vehicle for simple multiplication (the most difficult problem being 4 + 4 = 8). You have got to give it to Eric, he knows how to get kids up on their feet and dancing --- which is great for storytimes! [MacDonald] Old MacDonald Had a... Zoo? Iza Trapani. Charlesbridge, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-58089-729-7. $16.99. Trapani is well-known for her song picture books where she takes a popular children's nursery song, and then adds additional verses to make an enjoyable story. At best count, this is her 14th such book. This one however adds quite a twist on the traditional song. The first verse is conventional, with Old MacDoanld having a cow on his farm mooing away. But here comes the twist - the second verse "Old MacDonald in the sty...Saw a kangaroo hop by....With a hop hop up, and a hop hop down, her a hop, there a hop, Everywhere a hop hop, Mucky mud went flying high, E-I-E-I-O." This verse is followed by a havoc-creating elephant, zebras, monkeys, and crocodile. He loads them all on his truck and returns them to the zoo, from where they had escaped. There have been numerous books lately with different themes on Old MacDonald, but this will make a great storytime choice, and the illustrations are very child-friendly. Give Bees a Chance. Bethany Barton. Viking, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-670-01694-5. $16.99 I love easy nonfiction books that tell a story, and yet the child learns some simple facts. Since the Every Child Ready to Read Project encourages us to use more nonfiction books in storytimes, it is always great to find one that works. This may be a tad long for the younger or restless group, but I think it could be shared with your older storytime kids that have been coming regularly and can handle longer stories. Either way, it is also a good choice for one-on-one story sharing and is by the award winning author of I'm Trying to Love Spiders. There are plenty of facts here presently humorously and with colorful appealing illustrations "Honeybees have hair on their eyes!" "Bees sometimes communicate by dancing!" "An average queen bee can lay up to 2,000 eggs in one day!" A nonfiction winner! [Bees] ________________________________ Reflections... [baby]On November 28, the last webinar that is part of Library of Michigan's two-year Every Child Ready to Read Initiative will be offered. I am hoping many of you will consider registering for the webinar here. There will be a short recap of the Every Child Ready to Read Project, and then information on Supercharged Storytimes, and finally information on Demco's Very Ready Reading Program, which also centers on adding early literacy practices within your library storytimes. You will be seeing more on the subject of Supercharged Storytimes in the future. For example, ALSC (ALA) will be holding its 2018 National Institute on September 27-29, 2018 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sixteen programs total will be offered. One of the sixteen is entitled Every Child Ready to Read and Supercharged Storytimes: How these two research h-based projects connect and add value to early learning: Research from the PLA/ALSC Every Child Ready to Read Project and VIEWS2 research that produced "Supercharged Storytimes" have overlapping early literacy domains/skills which promote early literacy behaviors for library staff, parents, caregivers and children. This program will address how librarians can use this knowledge to support early learning in storytime programs and throughout their community. Also, OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. was awarded $249,969.00 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to further the Supercharged Storytime project. Here is a description of what they intend to do with this award granted: "OCLC will partner with state and regional library systems, including New York State Library, Minnesota State Division of Library Services, and Southeast Florida Library Information Network, to expand the Supercharged Storytimes early literacy curriculum, and then deploy it nationally by offering a free self-paced online course for all library practitioners to access; training 100 facilitators to lead learning cohorts in their libraries using the online course; and training up to 20 expert online trainers to deliver the curriculum across each state and regional systems. The project will result in as many as 1,600 children's librarians nationwide better equipped to intentionally incorporate research-based concepts that promote literacy outcomes in young children during storytime programming. Collaborators on the project include the Public Library Association and the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading." ________________________________ ________________________________ About Sue [Sue McCleaf Nespeca]Sue McCleaf Nespeca is an early literacy & children's literature specialist heading Kit Lit Plus Consulting.

She was the Outreach Services Coordinator for the Orion Township Public Library for almost 5 years. She had a passion for her job as a librarian and loved all of her outreach activities, both in the Orion community and the Michigan library community. She was very active on committees within The Library Network and the Michigan Library Association, sharing her passion with other librarians. In accordance with Gina's wishes, there will not be a service. If anyone would like to send wishes to her family, please send them to the Orion Library, to my attention, and we'll be happy to pass them along.

Perhaps a Michigan library would be interested in the Michigan publications offered by the Vermont Historical Society. Please contact Paul Carnahan - paul.carnahan at vermonthistory.org - if you are interested. This was first posted on October 6. These will be headed toward recycling if no one wants them. I will consider breaking up sets if someone needs just a few volumes from a run. The Vermont Historical Society is deaccessioning state historical society journals and regional historical journals from outside New England and New York. We have 21 titles to offer. Some of them are rather long. I would rather pass on a run or a large chunk than to send out individual issues. All have our library's marks of ownership on them. Here is the list: Michigan Historical Review, v.16 no.2 Fall 1990 -- v.29 no.2 Fall 2003 Michigan History Magazine, v.1 1917 -- v.61 no.4 Winter 1977 (bound -- v.28 1944) Michigan Pioneer and Historical Publications, v.1 1874-76 -- v.39 1915 (40 are bound) Let me know if you can give these a new home!

The dashboard is currently under development by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). It is expected to be made available to the public by early 2018. The new dashboard will report on more than 20 different factors-or measures-that parents and other stakeholders have said are important to them when evaluating the quality of a school. The survey allows participants to view components of the new dashboard, then answer questions about the way information is presented, the usefulness of certain features, and viewers' unique interests. The Michigan Department of Education will use survey feedback to help shape the current and future versions of the dashboard so that it is helpful to parents in every community. * Click the link below (or type the survey URL into your web browser) to access the online survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/MDEESSA_Dashboard2017 * Survey details: * The survey can be completed on any computer, tablet, or mobile device. * The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. * All answers will be confidential. * Survey must be completed by November 15, 2017.
