A First Taste of Prohibition: Banning Booze in Midland - September 13 http://www.hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/prohibition-dog.jpgAlth ough Prohibition did not begin throughout the United States until 1920, the Michigan city of Midland had already outlawed liquor 12 years earlier.

Michigan's Capital Moves to Lansing Did you know Michigan's first state capital was in Detroit, not Lansing? Michigan's 1835 constitution stated that the capital would be in Detroit until 1847, when the legislature would then decide on a permanent site. Many towns wanted to become the capital, including Ann Arbor, Jackson, Marshall and Grand Rapids. The legislature finally chose the nearly uninhabited Lansing Township. When the location was chosen, Lansing Township was not even a formal city-it became its own city after the capitol arrangements had been made. The first capitol in Lansing was a wooden building and used from 1847 until 1878, when Michigan's current domed capitol was finished. Don't miss our next History Skills Workshop. Archives 101 September 15 - 9 a.m.-12 p.m. workshop-emblemDesigned for small organizations that struggle with how to preserve and organize archival materials in their collections, this workshop will discuss proper storage and handling of collections, basic arrangement techniques, and affordable solutions for supplies and enclosures.

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

They're great resources but a search can bring back so many results that you spend valuable time just sifting through them. Luckily, Gale has broken down these powerhouses into 27 separate Collections that can be searched independently. The InfoTrac Collections (what used to be termed PowerPacks) span the continuum from fine arts to popular magazines to home improvement and psychology. You can search them individually and, if there's a particular topic that would interest your patrons, you can embed a link to it on your website. Here are those Collections with a URL that will allow anyone in Michigan to access the resources. If the patron is a Michigan resident who happens to be outside of the state they will be prompted for their driver's license/ID card or MeLCat-participating library barcode. Happy searching!

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 will be 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 will receive 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 will be 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 will be 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 will receive 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 will receive 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 will receive 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 will be 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 will be 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 will be 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 will be 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 will be 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 will be 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 will be 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.

Member libraries range from small, rural libraries to very large urban libraries.

All Lakeland libraries participate in reciprocal borrowing and belong to MeLCat, the statewide interlibrary loan system. The successful candidate will implement the 2016 Strategic Plan with its focus on four core areas: governance, member services, advocacy, and continuing education. Another key project is exploring migrating to a new ILS and implementing that migration. West Michigan has it all! With its living sand dunes, it's the spirit of the desert but with hundreds of square miles of fresh water at the end of the trail. With vast forests, it's a wilderness offering unparalleled fishing and hunting and thousands of miles of hiking, biking, equestrian, snowshoeing, Nordic and snowmobile trails wide open for adventure. With Lake Michigan lapping the western shore, it's a paradise of sugar-sand beaches that stretch for 400 ever-changing miles. The clean, safe communities are cultural meccas of the performing arts, historical museums and unique shopping. Golf courses, lighthouses, wineries and casinos-West Michigan is a destination and a place people call home with both small town life and cosmopolitan diverse large cities. With its low cost of living, West Michigan a great place to live, work, and play and is a desirable, affordable location for families.

The area also has a significant focus on the arts. In 2009, Grand Rapids hosted the first ArtPrize-the world's largest art competition determined by public voting-and the city is also known as "Beer City USA" highlighting its prominent breweries.

Looking for new ideas to implement in your sensory programming for children? Wondering how you can be more inclusive of all ages in your programming on a limited budget? Then this free webinar is for you! Join us online next Tuesday! The Library of Michigan presents "Adapted Sensory Programming for All Ages & All Budgets," a free webinar on Tuesday, September 19th, at 2:00 PM. This past June, librarians from across the state responded to our survey of libraries offering adapted programming to children, teens, and adults with special needs. We will talk about the survey results, highlighting specific on-site and outreach programs for each age group. Participants will get an overview of what adapted programming is, what other libraries (of all sizes!) are doing to reach out to this underserved population, gain some insight on what has worked and/or not worked, and learn some tips to get started.

The free toolkit, which is available here, includes health literacy data, key messages and talking points sourced through NNLM, as well as nine ?Because? statements that speak to some of the varied health literacy issues that libraries address. Each statement comes with downloadable graphics including posters, social media images and more. The toolkit also includes ideas for libraries to use these tools for promoting their own services and programming. NNLM is hosting a webinar on September 14 for library advocates to learn more about the toolkit. Note: To view the full toolkit you will need to sign on to the Libraries Transform website.

We recently discontinued our contract with a collections agency (we were pretty much breaking even) and we're bringing the process in-house. Looking for insight on the following questions. - What's your timeline for contacting patrons / blocking their account / charging them for the item? How many times do you contact a patron before/while/after you take action on their account? - What means do you use to contact the patron: mail, e-mail, phone call, text? - Is there a designated staff person who carries out these procedures, or are the tasks shared by staff? - Any tips on how to be compassionate and flexible while following policy? Any help you can give is appreciated! You can reply off-list and I'll compile responses to share. Deborah Haak -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I wish we had a better option for housing them, so that patrons could enjoy them, but they wouldn't so quickly be destroyed. Maybe someone on the list will offer a great solution!

In a normal summer, the river rushes over the falls at around 3,000 gallons per second. Due to the increased rainfall, the park reported the falls running at 10,000 gallons per second in June 2017. The highest record for the falls is 50,000 gallons per second. The Upper Falls - one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River - drops nearly 50 feet, with a series of smaller falls following. The falls' characteristically amber color is derived from the tannins in the water that leach from the cedar, hemlock, and spruce trees in the swampy areas that drain into the river.

Mathematics scores increased in grades 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, or all but grade 4, which increased 2.6 percentage points in 2016. Social studies scores increased in grades 5, 8 and 11. "The Spring 2017 results show math and social studies scores are continuing to improve, and that is exciting news," said State Superintendent Brian Whiston. "The English language arts scores are disappointing, however." Where in 2016, English language arts (ELA) scores increased in three of six grades last year, student proficiency scores in 2017 decreased in all but Grade 5, which showed an increase of .5 points. Decreases ranged from .8 pts in Grade 8 to 2.3 points in Grade 7. Grade 3 declined 1.9 points. A three-year (2015-17) comparison of ELA scores show increases in grades 5 and 8 of 2.4 and .4 points respectively. Decreases ranged from 1.1 points in Grade 6 to 5.9 points in Grade 3. Whiston said that it is important for schools and districts - with the help of their intermediate school districts (ISDs) - to carefully examine these scores and other data to look for paths to improvement. "It is important that we keep working with ISDs and local school districts to provide support and assistance to help all of their students achieve at higher levels," Whiston said. "We keep moving forward on our goal to be a Top 10 education state in 10 years and know that the early work we're putting into motion will pay positive dividends in the very near future. "I am confident that investments into Early Childhood education and literacy supports will bring improvement and growth," Whiston said. "We need to stay focused and diligent." Early Literacy Support Expected to Influence Future Results Two years ago, Michigan identified early literacy gaps as a focus area for policy and program support for learners, and established a set of initial support mechanisms to address the learning gaps. These programs have since been initiated with educators over the last 18 months. The programs, created and funded by the legislature, support specific recommendations to ensure that all students have strong literacy skills by the end of third grade. These include: * Added instructional time grants that support districts in providing additional targeted supports for students who struggle in reading and other literacy skills; * ISD literacy coaches, who provide direct assistance to school districts and public school academies to address instructional needs to help these students; * Assessment reimbursement grants to support districts in the use of screening and diagnostic tools to help identify specific student needs, so that they can receive targeted support; and * Professional learning funds to support the creation of a literacy coach network and resources for educators to learn and implement best practices to support all students, as well as students with specialized literacy learning needs, including English Learners, students with disabilities, and other students who may struggle to demonstrate these skills. MDE also is in the process of distributing to school districts over $20 million in state funds appropriated for the upcoming school year for additional instructional time to pupils in grades K-3 who have been identified as needing additional supports and interventions in order to be reading at grade level by the end of third grade. Several organizations are partnering with MDE to provide a consistent, coherent support infrastructure, so that all early literacy efforts are focused on the same needs. MDE and Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators (MAISA) teamed up with several literacy experts to form a task force to develop the Essential Instructional Practices for different learners, including K-3, early learners, and now adolescent and young adult learners. These efforts have just begun to reach Michigan educators and students in child care settings and classrooms throughout the state. As they become more fully implemented, more of Michigan's children will have the literacy skills they need to succeed. Establishing a Consistent Testing System Over the past several years, legislative changes to Michigan's testing system, as well as changes resulting from feedback from school districts, have created some anxiety for educators and students in taking the M-STEP, Whiston noted. MDE is working with stakeholders to implement an improved testing vision of Whiston's that will reduce testing time and provide a better path to show student academic growth. "There has been some volatility in statewide assessments recently," he said. "We want to be responsive to educators; develop a solid and informative testing system; then let it stand for at least 10 years." Whiston has proposed implementing a statewide testing vision that has a benchmark assessment for students in the fall, an optional mid-year assessment to gauge progress, then a summative assessment for students in the spring. 2017 M-STEP Highlights Nearly 98 percent of all Michigan schools took the M-STEP assessment online this year, compared to 80 percent in 2015. A pencil-and-paper option remains available for those relatively few districts that are not yet ready technologically. Of the 18 grade-subject combinations tested, 10 showed gains in the percent of students proficient or advanced. When compared to 2015 statewide results, this year's increased proficient or advanced M-STEP scores occurred in: * Grades 5,8 and 11 in social studies * Grades 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in mathematics * Grade 11 in science, and * Grades 5 English language arts (ELA) The SAT, administered to all high school juniors for the first time in Spring 2016, serves as both a college entrance exam and state ELA and mathematics assessment. Scores on the SAT showed improvement in both subjects. Like the M-STEP, the SAT is aligned with state standards. "It's important to take the time to celebrate our successes - especially in schools and districts whose work is resulting in higher student achievement. Yet, we know we have work to do when it comes to improving reading skills statewide, particularly with our youngest learners," Whiston said. "To make Michigan a Top 10 education state in 10 years, we need to provide the focused supports and resources for schools and teachers, to help every child learn to read at grade level by the third grade and beyond."

I've attached the responses and included them below. Deborah Haak Accounts Tech Three Rivers Public Library Hi Deborah, An account is blocked as soon as a book is overdue; overdue items can be renewed over the phone as long as they aren't on reserve and have not exceeded their maximum number of renewals. First contact about an overdue items occurs between 8 and 14 days after it becomes overdue. This is made by email or USPS. Second and third contact are made by phone calls at 15 to 21 days and 22 to 29 days past due respectively. A final notice of intent to bill is sent at 35 to 50 days past due (if not returned within 15 days, the following charges will be assessed to your account...). This is sent USPS. At the same time a limit and note are placed on the account which will restrict the account to two items out at a time until a reliable return record has been established as per policy. Items are moved to lost and fees added to the account approximately 30 days after that. My circulation clerk handles the overdue contacts, etc., although the replacement costs are handled by me (she lets me know the items she's billing for and I provide her the current market value of them using the vendors we have in place). We approach the first three notices as courtesy reminders that items are past due and generating overdue fees. The fourth notice, pre-bill, is relatively formal, but without judgement. We attempt to work with patrons wherever possible to deal with moves (please return the item to your new local library to return via the ILL system), deaths/illness (we will waive limits on renewals for these situations), lost-but-I-think-I-can-find (one-month instead of 3-week renewal where possible), and it-was-ruined-but-I-can't-pay-right now (set up a reasonable payment system; waive standard processing fees if possible; or accept a gently used copy purchased by the patron instead of requiring payment). As long as the patron is actively communicating with us, we try to maintain as much access for them to library services as possible while being a mindful steward of a public collection and trying to prevent reaching the point where the patron would rather abandon their account and library services than to work with us to resolve the issue. Regards, Jessica Little Library Director T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 312 Michigan Ave. Saint Louis, Michigan 48880 (989) 681-5141 Hi Deborah; We are a small 2-person Class II library. As director, overdue notices fall on me to do. I usually try to do overdues once a month. Step One: I send (mail) overdue notices to a person if their items are at least 2 weeks overdue. Step Two: If no response or returns, then the next time I do overdues, a 2nd notice goes out and their account is put on restriction. Step Three: If still no response or returns, I send (mail) a bill for the items with a set due date (usually 2 weeks past the date of this 3rd notice). Step Four: If still no response or returns, I send (certified mail) a final notice that specifies the state law that shows the misdemeanor charge if items are not returned. This notice also has a specific date to comply. Step Five: If no response or returns, then we contact our county sheriff''s dept. to report a petty theft (note: we made a policy to only involve the police if items are worth more than $100. Less than this, we eat the cost). At this point, the person is removed from our computer system and put into our "bad" ledger with a page that shows how much must be paid before they can reinstate their card. I have been with my library for 16 years and only have had to involve the police 4 times. Most people return their items when they get the final letter. As for being compassionate and flexible: we offer payment plans or the option that a patron may purchase a copy of a lost item for replacement (new copy must be in as good of shape as the item they lost). We also allow patrons to "pay" for overdue fines with item donations (hardcover books = $2.00 in fines, softcover books = $.50 in fines, DVDs = $3.00 in fines, etc) This option is used mainly when a child has racked up a huge fine - the parents often have the child clean out their own personal bookshelves or movies to "pay" their fines. Sometimes we are able to use the donations in our collection and sometimes the items go straight into our sale boxes. Hope this info helps, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp. Library We use a company called Unique Management for patrons. Its for those who owe over $100. Our rule of thumb is that 3 days after the item is due they accumulate 10 cents of fines, per day, per item. If the overdue item is checked in, then the fine per day stops. However, if it continues, I believe after 2 or 3 months the patron will be charged with the amount of the cost of the item. When it is checked in after the billed status, it changes to a $3 fine per item as long as its in good condition. Between this the patron is sent about 4 letters and/or emails about the item about to be due, when it is due, when it is over due, and the final notice about the due item. (We prefer letter or email, we don't call or text at our library.) The letters are done be a designated person, to which she checks the shelves. In terms of emails, our system sends them out automatically about once a week. In terms of tips, be gentle in fines and let them know of other options of replacement. Like if they find a cheaper version online, not used. Be patient and understand the situation. However, don't be afraid to put your foot down and be strict with rules if certain patrons try to cheat the system. But the best advice is to stay consistent. There is nothing worse then a patron go to Librarian A then go to Librarian B and hear something different. Then come back to Librarian C who has no idea whats going on. Sorry, its so long. Hope it helps. Kaisha Simpson, Albion Library Hi, When an item is two weeks overdue we call the patron. One staff person does that. She is very pleasant and friendly and gets pretty good results. At four weeks overdue we send them a friendly letter. At six weeks overdue we mark the item lost and bill them for replacement (the full retail price of the item), plus a $10 processing fee. We mail them a bill. If they return the item at that point it wipes out the replacement cost but they still owe the fee. If they still don't return it, two weeks later they are turned over to a collection agency, although Unique has lost their "teeth" in that they can't report to the credit bureaus any more. Patrons are billed another $10 fee at that time. Once they reach that point even if they return the item we collect the fees. We try to be as compassionate as possible. If someone has a very good reason for being late we will sometimes waive the fees. They are blocked from checking things out if they have anything overdue. We do occasionally override that, again based on circumstances. Once they owe us money they are definitely blocked, no exceptions. We don't have daily overdue fines so if they owe us money it's because they never returned something, or owe us fees. Like I said, fees can be waived in certain situations.

As far as a policy, you are not required to have such a policy. However, if you find that your library receives this type of request often, you may wish to establish some sort of ground rules. 1)The first issue here is whether the Library Privacy Act would permit Libraries to give this information over the phone. The Library Privacy act is pretty clear in that it states that the owner of a record is the person who is responsible for the return of materials, or the paying the fines on an account. They are the only ones who can approve the relaying of Information. MCL 397.603(2) So, depending on how the circulation policies of a library treat children patrons, the owner of the child?s patron record could be the child, both parents, one particular parent, or anyone else who sponsors the child for a card. At what point a minor is responsible for their own account, in some way, depends on the circulation policies of the library: * How are children?s cards issued ? do parents have to sign? Are parents or guardians responsible for materials and fines? * Are parents treated individually or as a unit (are both parents interchangeable as far as responsibility, or does the parent who signs the card have sole responsibility for the record)? * Can people other than parents obtain cards for the kids (such as other relatives, etc.)? * Does the library keep track of custodial vs non-custodial parents? 2) The second part of this question is about verifying the identity of someone who calls asking for information about the child or their record. If they really wanted to, libraries could devise methods of questioning parents on details such as address, school, etc. to try to verify identity, but I would not recommend this. It is time consuming and places a burden on library staff. It is also not the most secure method of verifying information. Realistically, it would probably be in the library?s interest to have a policy where information on whether or not a patron is in the library is not transmitted over the phone. An option in such a situation ? which mitigates the risk - is to ask the patron to come by the library so the staff can assist them in looking for the child (or will provide information upon verification of identity). In fact, a viable response to this situation in general would be to tell the patron calling that the library cannot answer these types of inquiries over the phone, but if the patron stops by the library, and is eligible to receive the requested information, the library would be happy to assist. In sum, I would suggest that a library receiving these types of inquiries devise a policy that prohibits them from relaying this type of information over the phone. I would also recommend that a library DOES have a policy that provides for how consent to provide information can be obtained, pursuant to MCL 397.603(3) However, as always, please be sure to consult your attorney before finalizing any policy. I hope this is helpful! Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

If someone calls and asks if a person is here in the library, we should not give out that information. How do we know who is calling. Does it apply to children? I asked the Library of Michigan law specialist, but I did not receive an answer as yet. Do we have to have a policy regarding this issue?

More than 2 million people in the U.S. are estimated to be dependent on prescription opioids or heroin, and drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death among Americans under 50 years of age.

During the 90-minute online event, representatives from libraries and other community organizations described their efforts and plans in addressing this crisis locally. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2017/09/library-staff-gather-virtually-discussion-national-opioid-crisis Building partnerships and passing legislation the focus of new ALA and AASL webinar A new webinar from the ALA Chapter Relations Office (CRO), Office of Library Advocacy and the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) will facilitate a conversation about building partnerships and identifying library champions in order to pass school library legislation at the state level. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2017/09/building-partnerships-and-passing-legislation-focus-new-ala-and-aasl-webinar ALA announces slate of Council candidates Ballot mailing for the 2017 ALA election will begin on March 12, 2018 and will run through April 4, 2018, with the results being announced on Wednesday, April 11, 2018. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2017/09/ala-announces-slate-council-candidates bibliotheca Sponsorship to Support GLBTRT bibliotheca was proud to host the Diversity Wall installation at this year?s American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago in June.

She took a look at the numbers for the first week back to school and something very interesting caught her attention. 34% of all visitors clicking away from MeL in the first week of the school year were going to BookFlix (about 7% were going to Academic OneFile, the second place winner). That's pretty phenomenal. We have a BookFlix tip for you this week. Did you know that BookFlix has a search feature? It's true. To find it, click on "Resources" next to the apple located at the top right of the page. Once the page fully loads, click on the red "search" button near the top left of the page under the BookFlix logo. A window will open that will allow you to search BookFlix. You're welcome. Not familiar with BookFlix? BookFlix is an online literacy resource that pairs classic video storybooks from Weston Woods with related nonfiction from Children's Press and other trusted Scholastic imprints. It is published by Scholastic Inc. All the fiction/nonfiction pairs in BookFlix are categorized according to nine themes: Animals and Nature; Earth and Sky; Family and Community; People and Places; Music and Rhyme; ABC's and 1, 2, 3's; Adventure; Imagination; and Celebrations. From the Home page, click on one of the nine themes to browse the pairs in each category. Pairs are listed in alphabetical order by story title. The Browse is presented in a flipbook format. Pages can be turned by clicking the appropriate buttons; or click the tabs at the side of the book to jump to other pages. >From the Browse page, click on a pair to go to a Pair page, from which the fiction/nonfiction pair and all its elements can be accessed. To return to the Browse, click on the link at the bottom of the left-hand navigation. BookFlix is best for grades PreK - 2 and can be used in the classroom, in the home, or at a library story time.

Below is information from Library of Michigan, Library Law Specialist, Clare Membiela. In the end, I decided not to do it. Hi Patty: Ok, so like many things in the law, this is a bit of a grey area! The Michigan Gaming Control Board statute defines a gambling game as: ?(v) ?Gambling game? means any game played with cards, dice, equipment or a machine, including any mechanical, electromechanical or electronic device which shall include computers and cashless wagering systems, for money, credit, or any representative of value, including, but not limited to, faro, monte, roulette, keno, bingo, fan tan, twenty one, blackjack, seven and a half, klondike, craps, poker, chuck a luck, Chinese chuck a luck (dai shu), wheel of fortune, chemin de fer, baccarat, pai gow, beat the banker, panguingui, slot machine, any banking or percentage game, or any other game or device approved by the board, but does not include games played with cards in private homes or residences in which no person makes money for operating the game, except as a player.? The Michigan Penal Code, Gambling laws state: 750.314 Winning at gambling. ?Sec. 314. Any person who by playing at cards, dice, or any other game , or by betting or putting up money on cards, or by any other means or device in the nature of betting on cards, or betting of any kind, wins or obtains any sum of money or any goods, or any article of value whatever, is guilty of a misdemeanor if the money, goods, or articles so won or obtained are of the value of not more than $50.00. If the money, goods, or articles so won or obtained are of the value of more than $50.00, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $1,000.00.? ( emphasis added ) I found much legal authority and discussion on casual card games (such as ?poker night? at your house), bowling, charity games, etc., but nothing either exempting or including Bunco. It seemed to me that if there was no mention and the law didn?t exempt it, that it is probably illegal, but because this activity is pretty popular (there are Bunco clubs all over the state), I decided to call the Michigan Gaming Control Board to ask how they would treat Bunco clubs. Here is what they said: It is technically illegal to play Bunco if players can win cash or prizes ? even in their own home. HOWEVER, the person I spoke to at MGCB indicated that if the club is a small group of friends and the venue (ie the library or the homeowner, etc.) is not profiting from the event, so the only people winning money are the players, and the amount of money involved is small , ?No one is going to go after them.? So, you are probably ok as long as it?s just a gathering of friends. Have fun! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

At this point in the decision-making process, it looks like our efforts are paying off. I am pleased to report that on September 14, the full House of Representatives voted as part of a large spending package (H.R. 3354) not to make any cuts in federal funding for IMLS. This includes all funding for IMLS programs under the Library Services and Technology Act, and for the Department of Education?s Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. Congratulations to everyone who has taken action to help #saveIMLS. Many of us called and emailed our members of Congress. Many of us retweeted action alerts issued by the ALA Washington Office at key stages in the campaign. Some of us wrote op-eds for local newspapers. Some coordinated with state librarians to identify the impact of IMLS funding on local libraries and even hosted congressional staffers at our libraries during the summer. Together we?ALA members and library advocates everywhere?are not only defending our nation?s libraries but are also showing that libraries are indispensable in our communities. We are most successful when we send clear, consistent messages at just the right times in the federal decision-making process. Thanks to the leadership and expertise of our staff in ALA?s Washington Office, we know exactly when our advocacy can be most effective. It?s not yet time to declare victory in the fight to #saveIMLS. With last week?s vote, the House of Representatives has now finished its work on the FY2018 appropriations bills. While the full Senate is not likely to take up its own spending bill until late this year, we are encouraged by the funding increases recommended by the Senate Appropriations Committee earlier this month. ALA members may need to push hard to retain funding gains made in the Senate once the process of resolving differences with the House bill begins. ALA?s Washington Office will put out an alert when your voice can be most effective. I encourage you to subscribe to District Dispatch, the ALA Washington Office blog, to follow the latest developments on congressional appropriations and critical federal policy issues. Thank you for doing your part to #saveIMLS. Your advocacy has put libraries in a great position at this point in the process; your persistence later this year should give us a strong finish.

Have you ever heard of Manoomin? Few people outside the tribal communities have heard about a protein-packed wild grain that grows in Michigan, perhaps because it was more abundant 100 years ago than it is today. The Anishinaabek--Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi--know about wild rice, or Manoomin "the good berry," because it is central to their migration story. Manoomin is difficult to find today, as ricing lakes in Michigan are limited. However, the LaBine family, most of whom are members of the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in the western U.P., has riced for generations and cooks with Manoomin on a regular basis. Below is one of the wild rice recipes the LaBine family still uses today--if you can get your hands on some wild rice, feel free to give this recipe a try! Wild Rice Fruit Salad - from Wayne LaBine, Sokaogon Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 1 pound wild rice 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons maple sugar or brown sugar 1 pint fresh strawberries, quartered 1 pint fresh blueberries 1 pint fresh raspberries Directions: Rinse wild rice until water is clear. Soak wild rice in hot water, covered, overnight. Wild rice should be split and curled by morning. Add a cup or so of water to rice so you have enough to boil. Bring wild rice to a boil, shut off heat, cover. Let cool, drain off excess water. Mix maple syrup, maple sugar (or brown sugar), strawberries, and blueberries into the rice. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, gently fold in the raspberries. This recipe was featured in Chronicle, our membership publication.

Joseph Napier: A Hero Remembered Joseph NapierJoseph Napier, the U.S. Life-Saving Station keeper at St. Joseph, Michigan, earned the Life-Saving Service's first Gold Lifesaving Medal. In October 1877, the schooner D.G. Williams became stranded off the harbor in a storm. Capt. Napier and three volunteers rowed a boat out to the wreck. Their boat capsized and Napier was hurt, but he valiantly saved the schooner's crew. In 2016, the U.S. Coast Guard commissioned a fast response cutter named the USCGC Joseph Napier in honor of Napier's memory. Don't miss our next History Skills Workshop.

Message-ID: *NEW WORKSHOP OFFERING!* New MARC fields in name authority records September 25, 3pm - 5pm Eastern (2pm - 4pm Central), online Andrea Morrison, Head of Monographic Text Cataloging at Indiana University Bloomington, will teach this webinar on New MARC fields. Andrea participates in the Program for Cooperative Cataloging programs: Monographic Bibliographic Record Program (BIBCO); Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO); and Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO). She is also an adjunct professor at Indiana University, Department of Information and Library Science, School of Informatics and Computing, and an adjunct lecturer for University of Washington, Information School. She regularly leads cataloging workshops for Indiana Library Federation and the Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians, and we were thrilled to welcome her as an instructor for MCLS this past year. This workshop will focus on PCC NACO practice, some suggestions for best practices, and lots of MARC examples. Examples will be given for both personal name and corporate name authority records. Register>> Original cataloging of sound recordings using RDA September 27-28-29, 2pm - 4pm Eastern (1pm - 3pm Central), online (3 day class) Doug Koschik is the Director of the Baldwin Public Library in Birmingham, Michigan, and is also an adjunct professor at Wayne State University's School of Library and Information Science. Doug has taught a variety of cataloging and classification classes at MLC and MCLS since the mid-1990s. This workshop teaches participants how to do original cataloging of physical sound recordings (CDs, MP3s and cassettes, both musical and nonmusical), using such tools as RDA and OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards. The class will address original cataloging in the MARC format. The instruction will cover issues like the preferred source of information, physical description, authorized access point, content/media/carrier types, and choice of additional access points. In addition, participants will learn the MARC fixed and variable fields for sound recordings, and will study the relationships among these fields. Several MARC record examples will be examined, and three hands-on exercises will be included. The online versions of the RDA Toolkit and OCLC's Bibliographic Formats and Standards will also be used. PLEASE NOTE: Basic navigation in the RDA Toolkit will NOT be covered. You will need to attend Original Cataloging of Monographs Using RDA prior to attending this program.

Denver, CO Be sure to check out the Call for Artwork Subcommittee Members at the bottom of the Newsletter! Get involved today! How Does CSLP Choose the Artists? by Chrissie McGovern [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/chrissie_mcgovern.jpg]We receive many questions about how artists are selected to provide artwork for us. So I thought I would give you a rundown on how the process works. Let?s start with a short history of how we got to where we are today. Demco is our vendor for the products we sell for summer reading and up until 2015, they contracted with the artist on our behalf. Historically, at our Annual Meeting in the spring we would come up with a top ten list of artists we thought would best depict our program theme that would be used two years later. Often times, we wouldn?t always get our first choice and Demco would go down the list to find an illustrator that was interested and available. As per our contract, the art could only be used for an eighteen month window. Over the last few years we started noticing that libraries were asking for products long after the eighteen month window. For example, the 2011 ?One World, Many Stories? art was very popular and we still receive requests to reprint t-shirts! However, because of that eighteen month window Demco placed in their contract with the artist, it created multiple layers to go through in order to re-print some of the artwork on products. We also faced difficulties if artists wanted to use their own characters in the artwork (yes, I?m referring to the platypus years.) With all of this in mind, CSLP drafted a new contract when the RFP (request for proposal) for Demco was chosen for the 2017-2018 program years. The new contract allows CSLP to work directly with artists, removing many of the previous restrictions and creating art that would best serve our membership. Let?s go to May 2015. It was one month before I would take over as the Chair of the Vendor Committee and a small subcommittee was put together to set up some parameters for contacting artists. I had our top ten list from our Annual Meeting in Rhode Island and began the process of contacting artists. We were lucky to be able to contract David Macaulay for the Build a Better World theme. The first year contracting with an artist was easy as pie; we had a signed contract in our office by July 2015. The second year of this endeavor was not so easy and I began to get nervous that we would not have an artist for the 2018 program. We sought assistance from our membership to see if anyone had any direct contact with any of the artists we were trying to contact. Thankfully, we heard from Brian Pinkney right after Labor Day 2016 and the rest is history. However, this situation brought up discussion with the CSLP Board of Directors on changing the timeline for when we contact and contract with artists. Many artists already know several years in advance when they will be working on book projects and touring, so contracting with them several years out gave us more leeway and they could fit us into their schedule whenever it worked best. Further, each year at the Annual Meeting we wound up with the same artists list year after year, just in a slightly different order, so we knew we were meeting the interests of the membership. So fast forward to current day. CSLP holds contracts with the artists and at this time we have artists contracted through our 2021 program year. In case you missed it, here are the artists for the upcoming program years: 2019- Leeza Hernandez (space) 2020- LeUyen Pham (mythology/folk tales/fairy tales) 2021- Salina Yoon (theme not yet selected) As soon as the 2022 artist contract is finalized and signed we?ll let you know. At this time we are accepting applications for the 2020 Artwork Committee. If you have served on the Inclusion or a Manual Committee and are interested in reviewing the artwork, you can find the application on our website or in this newsletter. I available to converse about this process or the Artwork Committee, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. Kwame Alexander as 2017 CSLP National Summer Reading Champion by Sharon Rawlins [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/KwameAlexander.creditDonnie-BiggsFCPS.jpg]If you logged onto the CSLP website between last fall and late spring, I am sure you could not help noticing the colorful photo on the main page of author Kwame Alexander, our 2017 Summer Reading Champion. It was this time last year that I saw him at the National Book Festival in Washington DC and asked him if he would be willing to serve as the champion for 2017. He said yes and gave me one of the bright orange t-shirts he had that the rapping, Mohawk-wearing school librarian wears in Kwame?s novel Booked. ?Serving as Summer Reading Champion gives me the opportunity to reach more teachers, more librarians and more parents, and share what I feel is one of the secrets to the success of future: the mind of an adult begins with the imagination of a child. Books open up doors of possibility and potential and purpose?and allow children to imagine a better world for themselves and for us,? Kwame said. He did a fantastic job on the PSAs as he enthusiastically urged kids to read over the summer and demonstrated to them and their parents how much fun reading can be. I hope you had the chance to use the PSAs to promote the program in your libraries. Kwame also continued the tradition that started with the previous Reading Champion, Kate DiCamillo, of sharing a list of the books he loves and recommends reading. CSLP posted it on the website and on social media. Both Kwame?s and Kate?s lists, along with their PSAs, are archived on the CSLP website. The CSLP Board, committee chairs and members do not have the time to devote to publicizing the current year?s Summer Reading Champion. CSLP hired a publicity company called Blue Slip Media to do this for us for both National Summer Reading Champions. Kwame spent much of last year doing many school visits and did not talk about CSLP in those visits but did try to mention CSLP when appropriate in other venues. He promoted CSLP, and the importance of reading and literacy in newspapers, blogs and on the radio, including: The Washington Post?s On Parenting column; NPR?s Here and Now out of WBUR Boston; Public Libraries Online: the companion website to the bi-monthly print publication Public Libraries, the official magazine of the Public Library Association; Booklist, The Booklist Reader, Read Alert, and Quick Tips, the magazine and e-newsletters of the American Library Association; ALSC?s newsletter, ALSC Matters!; Children?s Book Council?s regular ?Kit Lit News? section, and in a Q&A in Kirkus Reviews. Teachers and school librarians were also excited to publicize Kwame?s involvement with summer reading on their blogs and through their school districts. The head of library media services for the San Diego Office of Education shared the news in the county (reaching 769 schools in 42 separate districts, serving a total of just under 500,000 students). The We Are Teachers website and the iLoveMG newsletter that focuses on middle grade books for teachers and librarians also covered Kwame. The blogs that gave Kwame some love as our National Summer Reading Champion included the elementary school librarian?s blog 100 Scope Notes, hosted by SLJ; Seven Impossible Things, the children?s book blog; the two reading teachers? blog Unleashing Readers; and the book blog by a K-12 librarian called The Loud Library Lady. Blue Slip Media contacted many other outlets and invited them to publicize Kwame?s involvement with CSLP but they did not all participate. We thought we did well this year, but hope that the news about next year?s Library Rocks National Summer Reading Champion will be publicized even more widely and make even more of an impact. The CSLP board is currently discussing ways to accomplish this. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/teen_slogan_eng.jpg] Our libraries: Building a Better World! Kindness Blocks and a Virtual Safari Kate Irwin reported that the Jessamine County Public Library in Nicholasville, KY had some unique programming this summer. Each time a child completed an act of kindness they could come into the children?s library and fill out a building block. These blocks were displayed on the ends of the children?s book shelves to show that even young children can make a difference. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/SafariKindness.jpg]Another program that JCPL did was to partner with SafariLive to broadcast a live African safari to the patrons of JCPL. SafariLive is located in South Africa and broadcasts two live safaris a day.

Building Community Support [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/promotingreading.jpg]At the Black River Falls Public Library, in Black River Falls, WI, Rhonda Groth and Tammy Peasley had a great idea to help promote reading. They asked local businesses to donate funds, and created four bookmarks (Adult, Teen, Youth, and Families). Each bookmark raised $1 for the Jackson County Animal Shelter. They had remarkable support, and reached their goal of $820! Builders? Club [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BuildersClub.jpg]Using mostly free stuff, either found or donated, Ami Jones at the Alamogordo Public Library in Alamogordo, NM, hosted a fantastic outdoor building party. She reported, ?It was like watching a colony of ants ? everyone seemed to be communicating mostly telepathically. There was no project manager telling anyone what the plan was, they all just scurried about carrying things, building, adjusting, changing.? The program lasted for two hours, with many participants staying for the entire time. What fun! Building a Better Body [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/littlechefs.jpg]Children at the Carlsbad Public Library in Carlsbad, NM were treated to some very delicious, and nutritious, library programing. Librarian Beth Nieman led the children in building colorful chef?s hats, teddy bear sandwiches, and breakfast sushi. Breakfast sushi: One whole banana, cream cheese, and a colorful rice cereal, such as Fruity Pebbles. Peel banana; spread entire banana with cream cheese; roll the banana in cereal; slice banana to make ?sushi? and serve! Build-a-Thon!

[https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/shelterblankets.jpg]Kristine Millard at the Lodi Public Library in Lodi, WI had a very successful program where children made kennel quilts for two local organizations. They worked with the amazing quilt guild in our community who donated both the fabric and the expertise. In two separate programs both children and adults made a total of 47 blankets which were given to the county humane society and a non-profit segment from the local veterinary clinic.

But did you know about the Teen Video Challenge? It?s been around since 2011 and a number of states have produced truly outstanding videos. However, we desperately need your help now. We need you to spread the word about this terrific opportunity for teens to show the world their creativity ? and receive some nice cash as well. The libraries that are affiliated will the teen will receive $50.00 to use at Upstart. The information will be placed on the CSLP website soon. Once there, all you need to do is to show teens where the submission form is within their state listing. If you are the state representative, you can zip out a short email to the youth people throughout the state about where to find the information on your state?s page. It?s so important to have creative outlets for teens. The Teen Video Challenge is a really terrific opportunity for teens to show everyone not only their talent but also their comfort and ease in participating in library programs. If you are interested in being part of an exciting activity or are just curious, please contact Jana Fine at jana.fine at dos.myflorida.com. Salina Yoon!

She lives in San Diego with her family. We look forward to begin working with Salina in the spring of 2018! #CSLPreads by Luke Kralik Whenever I meet new people, the question of what you do for a living often comes up. When I was working in a library, it was very easy to answer this question. Even if people didn?t know the specifics, they had a general sense of what a library is, and what a librarian might do. I might have to go over a few details, but it wasn?t a foreign concept to them. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Luke_headshot.jpg]This is not the case when I now tell them I work for the CSLP. Even many of my librarian friends do not have a concept of the work we do. Some might recognize our slogans or somehow associate us with summer reading, but most have no idea that we are a national non-profit, and serve libraries in every state (and more). This is a bit problematic. In order to help raise our public profile a bit, I am encouraging everyone to use hashtag #CSLPreads. Posting a recap of your summer program? #CSLPreads. Giving a Build a Better World t-shirt to a local politician? #CSLPreads. Embarrassing video you captured of your colleague rocking out at their desk? #CSLPreads #LibrariesRock! You get the idea! If you would like to play a more active role in sharing the work we do, I encourage you to join our Social Media committee. This dedicated group is always looking for more help and are wonderful to work with. For more information, please visit the Social Media Welcome page.

Work on the manual has been going on behind the scenes for months and it will culminate soon. As soon as the first batch of paper manuals are ready to ship, each CSLP State Representative will received one copy in your office. We have been working with the duplicators and will soon have a shipping schedule completed. We will make all attempts to meet your ?Date Needed? deadline, however a few of the early deadlines may need to be adjusted. As soon as we know when product is ready to begin shipping, we will contact those that we may miss your deadline and make other arrangements. Once the shipping process begins, manuals, DVDs, and USBs will be shipped out as quickly as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CSLP office and we?ll take care of your needs. Along with the manual shipments, you will receive your paper Incentive Catalogs with all of the products available for the 2018 Libraries Rock program! These will arrive in a separate shipment from Demco. Once we receive word that the catalogs are shipping, we will send a message out on the State Rep Mail List. Please watch for this shipment and put the box(s) where you will find them to ship with your manuals. Later in September, each State Representative will receive a promotional package from Demco which will have your free T-Shirts, a few posters, a vinyl banner, and a few lapel pins. We will again notify you when where shipments are sent so you are watching for these. 2018 Annual Meeting Update Start making plans to attend the 2018 CSLP Annual Meeting which will be held April 9 ? 11, 2018 in Denver, Colorado at the Westin Hotel.

It is well documented that boys often read less often, and at a lower proficiency than their girl peers. While there are many factors that might be responsible for this, one young man in St Louis, MO is doing something to help correct it! Eleven year old Sidney Keys III is sharing his love of reading by creating the Books N Bros book club. His club helps promote reading among boys ages 8 ? 10, and averages 7-10 new members each month. The club votes on what book they will read, and often pick books with African American protagonists. Keys sums up his motivation for creating the club perfectly with ?My motivation is I already love to read but it would be awesome, even better, to read with other people.? 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!

Since this is a Free Speech issue, this can be a sticky. HOWEVER, the library should be able to govern the behavior of someone seeking signatures like they would any other Library visitor ? for example, if a person is interfering with library entrances or exits; if they are disturbing patrons who are working in the library (especially if you are getting complaints from other patrons); or if they are exhibiting behavior that would be a violation of Library Policy, you can ask them to cease the offending behavior or relocate. If the library has a no-soliciting policy (and does not permit other types of petitions), they could possibly request that the petitioners collect signatures outside of the library. Libraries can ask people gathering signatures to please gather signatures in a manner that does not disturb the business of the library. However, please note that any policy that is invoked should be certain to be invoked equally for ALL petition gatherers. I would strongly recommend that if this is something that occurs often, you may want to establish a formal policy to ensure that every signature drive is treated equally in order to avoid claims of discrimination and/or censorship. Here is a link to the Department of Election?s sheet on Initiative & Referendum Petitions https://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/Ini_Ref_Pet_Website_339487_7.pdf I hope this is helpful!

"Michigan libraries are among the best in the nation," said Riley, who presents on October 20 the annual award, including $3,000 in privately-donated funds, at the Michigan Library Association's annual conference in Lansing. "They are so much more than just 'book warehouses.' Michigan libraries are the centers of their communities. "East Lansing Public Library consistently provides top notch service to its users; has made establishing community partnerships a priority; and continues to serve as a model for outstanding customer service." The Library of Michigan Foundation and Library of Michigan (LM) present the State Librarian's Excellence and Citations of Excellence awards each year to highlight the importance of services provided by Michigan's libraries. This year's Citations of Excellence went to the Interlochen Public Library and Tahquamenon Area School Public Library in Newberry. Each library receives $1,000 as a Citation of Excellence winner. The State Librarian's Excellence Award is sponsored by the Roger and June B. Mendel Fund through the Library of Michigan Foundation. The Citation of Excellence Awards are funded by Martin L. Gibbs in memory of his late wife, Carole Sorenson and the Library of Michigan Foundation in recognition of former Executive Director Carolyn "Sparky" Mowery. "We are thrilled and humbled that the Library of Michigan and the Awards Committee chose the East Lansing Public Library to receive the State Librarian's Excellence Award," said Kristen Shelley, Director of the East Lansing Public Library. "The ELPL staff work tirelessly to provide quality programs and services to the community. It's such an honor to have the staff's hard work and passion for serving our community recognized." Riley said the selection committee, with representatives from public, school, academic and special libraries, was impressed with the level of service ELPL provided amid a $1.5 million renovation. "Their website currently lists dozens of upcoming programs ranging from story times, teen job fairs, knitting groups, adult book clubs and maker space programs." he said. "The committee especially was impressed with the library's partnership with Michigan State University by opening its doors to international students, scholars and their families. Programs like East Lansing Welcomes the World; participating in the International Student Resource Fair; offering a weekly Practice Your English session; providing volunteer opportunities; and supporting projects like the One Community, One Read event have made a huge impact in East Lansing." State Librarian's Excellence Award evaluation factors include: demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in a cost-effective manner, with a can-do attitude; always delivering on promises; and fulfilling the library's commitment to high standards of customer service. In earning Citations of Excellence, Interlochen Public Library and Tahquamenon Area School Public Library also are recognized for a devotion to customer service. Interlochen Public Library stood out for efforts to partner with the local senior citizen center and the Traverse Bay Area Homeschool program. Its involvement in the 5toONE program, which works to increase family participation in free programs designed to improve early childhood outcomes in the five-county region of rural northwest Michigan, indicated a significant commitment to serving all members of the community. Tahquamenon's battle for survival and numerous victories have centered on providing exceptional service. The library's It's YOUR Library Too campaign was singled out for a roughly 60 percent increase in new patrons since 2010. Also, new collection development activities have updated the library's holdings and helped to attract new users and supporters. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 185 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

Our library has a collection of books in foreign languages but we have not added to it in a long time, and would like to. We don't have a cataloger here and I asked Ingram (our main vendor) about purchasing books in other languages; their response was they only provide marc records for books purchased in Spanish.

Message-ID: Licensing electronic resources: An introduction Nancy Kirkpatrick, MCLS Oct. 3-4, 10:00am - 12:00pm Eastern (online) This basic workshop is designed for library staff who are new to negotiating licenses for electronic resources. This workshop would also be beneficial to library staff who do not negotiate with vendors, but who do work with electronic resources and/or ERM systems and need to understand license terms. [Note: this is an introductory workshop and is not geared toward experienced staff who have already negotiated licenses.] The workshop will address the basic concepts of contract law (licenses as contracts) and offer a hands-on look at the components of a standard licensing agreement.

MeL provides helpful resources for teachers, school librarians, and now parents in the Teacher portal. The Library of Michigan spends a significant amount of our MeL funding on K-12 resources including encyclopedias, early literacy resources, and article-based databases. It's important that we support the use of these materials by teachers in the classroom and school librarians in the media center. This is one way we do that. Did you know MeL has a K-12 Education Specialist on staff named Christine Schneider? She's been in contact with over 5,500 Michigan educators in the past two years talking about MeL. She's a former classroom teacher (English and Math) who knows the importance of talking to educators in their own language and showing them how to integrate the MeL resources into the classroom. It's her job to go out on the road and work directly with educators, giving them tools and information about what's in MeL and how it can help them to do their jobs better. She's available to come to your local school district and work with the teachers in your community as well. Feel free to contact her at mailto:cschneider.mel at gmail.com. Christine is hard at work this fall updating the Teacher portal. There are eight learning centers: * Elementary Resources * Secondary Resources * Training Toolkit * K-12 Spotlight * Michigan Educator Links * Parent Resources * Test Preparation * Technology Resources Elementary (preK-5th) and Secondary (6th - 12th grade) resources concentrate on MeL resources for those grade levels. Upcoming changes will focus on integrating the databases into curriculum. The training toolkit contains resource-specific support materials, slide decks that you're welcome to steal from should you be venturing into a local school yourself, and lots of videos both long and short. The K-12 spotlight highlights districts and how they integrate and use MeL in their schools and school media centers. We like to celebrate Michigan teachers and school librarians so if you're doing great things with MeL let us know! The Parent resources tab is an introduction to what a subscription database is and what their benefits are. Also it notes that everyone can use them, not just the schoolchildren in the household. MeL is a resource for the whole family. The Test Prep tab highlights, among other things, our inclusion of Khan Academy in MeL and how, combined with LearningExpress Library, they make a powerful tool for students.

This Month's Wisdom... "Children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded." ~Jess Lair, author Storytimes at Your Library for Preschool Children with Special Needs [child]The Americans with Disabilities Act, which took effect in early 1992, required facilities and services regularly used by the public to be accessible to the more than 43 million Americans who were physically or mentally disabled. It took some time after, but eventually children?s librarians started thinking about how they could program for children with disabilities or special needs. Whether they are children with learning or developmental disabilities, hearing-impaired children, or blind or physically disabled children ? our storytimes should be inclusive. This can be difficult for those of us who have had little or no experience in working with children with special needs. Where to begin? Here are some ideas to start: 1. Assess the need in your community. Do you know of children who might want to attend your programs, but are not already, because of their special needs? What are their special needs? Talk to their parents or caregivers as to how your storytime programs could be more inclusive for their child. 2. Is there any organization that offers disability awareness training in your community that you can attend? 3. Can you partner with your local school district? Is there a teacher who would be willing or able to assist you? 4. Are there knowledgeable professionals from a local organization, support groups, or a parent who would be willing to assist with the storytime program? Many libraries have begun to add sensory storytimes, particularly beneficial for autistic children. Here are some general ideas to consider for sensory storytime programs: * Try to make sure your room has few distractions. Have well-defined seating spaces (which could mean carpet squares that will establish boundaries). Some carpet squares could possibly be placed off to a side for children unable to join the group. * Have a visual schedule of activities that children can see. * Use a variety of materials in your storytime, from sensory books that children can later explore, to big books, pop-up books, and flannel or magnetic board stories. If possible, have multiple copies of a sensory book you are sharing so that the child and parent can have the same experience. * Make sure your program has a variety of sensory activities, but recognize that some children may avoid sensory experiences. Try movement activities, and lots of rhymes and songs. Use activities that involve more than sight and sound. Repetition is important! For more ideas on this topic, check the links below. You can also watch the Library of Michigan webinar, recorded earlier this month, Adapted Sensory Programming for All Ages & All Budgets, with librarians Jen Taggart of Bloomfield Township Public Library, Laura Hollister & Sarah Skinner of Niles District Library, and Marta-Kate Jackson of Cromaine District Library. ________________________________ Online resources on Storytimes for Children with Special Needs [sensory]Sensory Storytimes: this powerpoint is from a speech presented at a conference, but it is one of the most helpful resources on sensory storytimes, covering every aspect of the program, including planning and resources. An article from the American Libraries magazine entitled ?Storytime for the Spectrum: Libraries Add Services for Children with Autism,? by Megan Cottrell, from the Salt Lake County Utah Library System, is about a librarian who was bothered by children running around and making noise during her storytime. When she talked to the mother, she found out the children were autistic, and thus began her research on how to conduct sensory storytimes. Sensory Storytime: a (brief) how-to guide: though this is a brief article, particularly helpful is a template of how to conduct a sensory storytime. This was posted on the ALSC Blog by Ashley Waring at Reading Public Library in Reading, MA. Storytime Welcomes Kids with Special Needs, is an EBSCO Novelist interview with Holly Jin, an Outreach Librarian at Skokie, IL. Public Library. Holly explains different programs she has conducted for special needs children in this article. ________________________________ Holiday Library Programs? [comments]It?s that time of year ? holidays are fast approaching, at least one a month, from Halloween, to Thanksgiving, to Hanukkah to Christmas, etc. And many libraries are planning special programs that directly relate to the individual holiday. It goes beyond storytimes, as libraries began decorating for the upcoming holiday also. Maybe it is time to reconsider some of these programs. Many of these programs are based on religious traditions that then highlight the religious beliefs of some of your regular library patrons, but not others. Even non-religious holidays such as Halloween can be controversial. Jehovah?s Witnesses do not celebrate the holiday, and there are Christian groups that feel it is associated with Satanism or Paganism. By offering programs celebrating these holidays, you are actually limiting who can attend the program. That does not mean that during the time Halloween is normally celebrated you could not offer a fall harvest program. Though some of your holiday programs might be popular for some people, there are probably other places in the community that will offer these programs, which then makes the library a welcoming institution for everyone! ~ Sue Here are some links for more information on this topic: In the School Library Journal article titled ?Ditch Holiday Programming? by Kendra Jones, her belief is that it is important to celebrate diversity by allowing all people to participate in ALL library programs. This Jbrary piece by Lindsey Krabbenhoft on ?Jumping off the Holiday Ban-Wagon? shares her opinions on holiday programs, though she recognizes not everyone will agree with her. An American Libraries magazine article by Abby Johnson on ?Tis the Season?To Think Critically About Holiday Programming? makes the point that ?Programming choices have the potential to offend and exclude, just as they have the potential to educate and enrich.? ________________________________ New Books of the Month [Toad]Toad on the Road. Stephen Shaskan. Harper, 2017. ISBN: 978-0-06-239347-0. $17.99. Here is a book that will fit well into a preschool storytime program. A toad that is playing on the road causes all types of chaos to a bear on a bike, a croc in a car, and a vole in a van, until Mama Toad rescues him. There is rhyme (great for phonological awareness) and plenty of opportunities for children to join in on the other repeating rhymes: ?Hey, little toad, get out of the way! You could get hurt. That?s no place to play. Vamoose! Skedaddle! Without delay! What do you think your mama would say?? and also the chorus ?Toad on the road. Toad on the road. Oh no! Oh no! There?s a toad on the road.? Lots of fun. Little Excavator. Anna Dewdney. Viking, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-101-99920-2. $17.99. By the creator (now deceased) of the Llama Llama books comes a completely different book from this author. Little E (excavator) tries his best to work along with the big rigs at the construction site, but he either gets in the way or falls over. Construction equipment is everywhere: a bulldozer, a loader, a dump truck, a backhoe, and a crane. What makes this a great choice for early literacy skills is the rhyming text and onomatopoeia with the wonderful machine-like noises: ?Pusha-pusha-smusha-smusha SMASH SMASH SMASH!? There have been a lot of books published lately about construction vehicles --- add this one to your construction storytime (followed by Lego or Duplo play!) [little] [give] Give Me Back My Book! Travis Foster and Ethan Long. Chronicle Books, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-6521-6040-5. $16.99 Bloo and Redd are both in love with the same book, and argue over whose book it is. While doing that, the story covers print awareness skills, discussing the fact that the book has a cover, a spine, pages that turn from right to left, a table of contents, chapters, illustrations AND LETTERS THAT FORM WORDS! When a bookworm snatches their book, Bloo and Redd decide to write their own new book together in a plot to get the original book back. What?s The Difference? Being Different is Amazing. Doyin Richards. Feiwel & Friends, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-250-10709-1. $17.99. Parenting guru Doyin Richards tackles a timely subject on diversity and acceptance of others who are different from us. Doyin?s parents taught him and his brother that ?skin color, religion, sexual preference, and socioeconomic status?? should never prevent them from being someone?s friend. In terms easy enough for preschoolers to understand, the author covers basic differences such as hair, eyes, and skin color. [what] Reflections... [children]There is no doubt that we are living during a more divisive period in our nation. Preschool teachers are reporting more bullying, teasing and harassment, possibly reflected by parents and other adult role models who are reacting to a more divided America. What can we do to help preschool children understand the importance of tolerance to those who may be different from us, or how to react to a bully? There have been several books released the last few years that can be used as bibliotherapy, or that lend themselves to a group discussion. Here are a few of my favorites: Accepting Differences/Tolerance: Manushkin, Fran. Happy in Our Skin. Candlewick, 2015. Parr, Todd. Be Who You Are. Little Brown, 2016. Parr, Todd. Love the World. Little Brown, 2017. Richards, Doyin. What?s the Difference? Being Different is Amazing. Feiwel and Friends, 2017. (reviewed above) Bullying: Dewdney, Anna. Llama Llama and the Bully Goat. Viking, 2013. Seeger, Laura Vaccaro. Bully. Roaring Brook, 2013.
