Funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, the American Dream Literacy Initiative offers grants to U.S. public libraries to expand services for adult English language learners (ELL) or adults in need of basic education and workforce development. More than $1.5 million in funding has been distributed to 188 libraries since the program?s inception, reaching approximately 25,000 English language learners. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/07/ala-report-shares-findings-illustrates-successes-10-years-american-dream United for Libraries to designate the Dr. Benjamin E. Mays Historical Preservation Site a Literary Landmark United for Libraries, in partnership with South Carolina State Library, South Carolina Academy of Authors, and Friends of South Carolina Libraries, will designate the GLEAMNS Dr. Benjamin E. Mays Historical Preservation Site in Greenwood, S.C., a Literary Landmark at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 1. Coming from impoverished, humbled beginnings, Dr. Mays (1894-1984) is remembered as an influential activist, intellectual, minister and leader during the civil rights movement, becoming one of the greatest international mentors of his generation. He became president of Morehouse College in 1940, where Dr. Martin Luther King graduated in 1948. King cited Mays as a mentor and father-figure. Mays published nearly 2000 articles and nine books throughout his career. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/07/united-libraries-designate-dr-benjamin-e-mays-historical-preservation-site University of Wisconsin-Madison chosen as site for 2019 Arbuthnot Lecture The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) announced that the 2019 May Hill Arbuthnot Committee has selected the University of Wisconsin at Madison as the host site for the 2019 May Hill Arbuthnot Honor Lecture featuring advocate and educator Debbie Reese, PhD. Three University of Wisconsin at Madison units will combine and collaborate in this hosting effort: the Cooperative Children?s Book Center (CCBC), the School of Information (the ISchool), and the School of Education.

This year?s theme is: Building & Leading. It will offer drastically increased opportunities for discussions, interactions and hands-on activities. Look for the draft schedule before the end of August. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/07/2018-lita-forum-save-date-and-register Free webinar shows how to harness the power of face-to-face conversations At 1 p.m. Eastern on Friday, August 17, during the webinar ?Collaborating with Strangers: Facilitating Workshops in Libraries, Classes,and Nonprofits,? Bess G. de Farber and April Hines will discuss how CoLABs have connected people to new networks and resources. You'll gain an understanding of how CoLABs have been used in communities to reveal hidden assets as well as guidance on how their How-To-Do-It Manual can be used to facilitate these workshops. Interaction with strangers cultivates creativity and provides opportunities for joining forces to achieve great ends. However, most people tend to avoid talking or working with people they do not know, whether in the library, a classroom, or in academic and nonprofit settings. And to do so is to short-circuit much of the creative potential that is so necessary for innovation, and that organizational stakeholders crave. Enter CoLAB, a workshop developed and presented by Bess G. de Farber at workshops across the country, and used by de Farber and April Hines to successfully spur collaboration at the University of Florida. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/07/free-webinar-shows-how-harness-power-face-face-conversations Creating Inclusive Storytimes for ALL Children ALA Publishing eLearning Solutions offers a new session of its popular workshop, Creating Inclusive Storytimes for ALL Children with Carol Morrone.

Vidcode was founded in 2014 and provides an accessible and fun way to learn to code. Focused on 3rd through 12th-grade students, but great for any age, Vidcode courses are student-led and web-based - no download required. Plus, Vidcode courses were built specifically around what students are interested in coding; students learn to code through creating meme makers, Snapchat filters, and special effects. Students can use Vidcode?s courses on their own, like courses from Lynda.com. Or, librarians and educators can lead students through the material using Vidcode?s lesson plans and classroom-in-a-box, created for non-technical and technical teachers alike.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4e803aba-54d9-310f-98d1-4db7708f775e@dexter.lib.mi.us> Hi Devin, This is an interesting question.? As I understand the general issue, the current question is whether the code that would allow 3D printing should be made freely available over the Internet.? The outcome of that decision will determine how easy it will be for anyone to get the basic computer instructions to print a 3D gun without having to write the code from scratch.? I'm sure the instructions are already out there in the dark corners of the Internet. Thinking about your question, would a library allow any visitor to print any other weapon, say a 3D knife?? What about printing 3D drug paraphernalia or 3D sex toys?? Local library use policies could be structured in a way that could prevent 3D printing of all weapons and a variety of other items through the use of library technology. For instance, a library might specify a policy that limits the use of a library 3D printer to pre-installed objects.? A library could maintain control over the use of the machine and evaluate objects added for public use.? It has been a common computer use policy to prohibit loading unauthorized software in order to maintain the integrity of library equipment.? It is also common that library behavior policies prohibit possession of weapons, drugs and material harmful to minors on library property. The 3D gun case is huge, but if the plans are released and widely available it does not necessarily lead to a library being required to provide the means for any person to implement those plans on demand.

Elizabeth Mills, Katie Campana, Claudia Haines, and Marianne Martens) has created a survey entitled "Young Children, New Media and Libraries, 2018," and we would greatly appreciate your library's participation. This is an updated version of the survey we offered in 2014. Libraries continue to be on the cutting edge of incorporating many different kinds of new media devices [tablets, e-readers/tablets, digital recording devices, MP3 players, children's tablets, etc.] into their branches and programming. We are keenly interested in examining the changing map of this landscape across the United States. We also want to hear from you regarding the ways in which you share technology with young children and their caregivers, your attitudes about that sharing, and any evaluation you do of new media for young children and their caregivers. You will inform our research and help us better understand the scope, challenges, and next steps for libraries regarding new media use. We would like one library worker from your branch who is able to answer questions regarding your library's use of new media to complete this survey. We anticipate the survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. Here is the link: https://kent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ehfN97VDS3wI4mh. Please be assured that the information you provide through this survey will be kept confidential and will be analyzed in aggregate; no information that could reasonably identify you or your library will be included in any publications or public dissemination of the collected data. Participation in this survey is voluntary. You may withdraw your participation at any time without loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. We believe that participation in this survey poses no greater risk than those experienced in everyday life. The survey will remain open until August 31, 2018. If you would be open to future contact from us regarding your responses, please provide your name and email at the end of the survey. This information will be kept confidential and shared only with the research team for the purposes of future interviews. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Alena Rivers, Deputy Director, ALSC at arivers at ala.org For more information, visit https://sites.google.com/view/ycnml18/home.

This is a great honor for our state, and will be an excellent opportunity to showcase the humanities work being done here, as well as the rebirth of Detroit. We are engaged with the Federation of State Humanities Councils to plan the events surrounding the conference, and will be adding on additional opportunities for the conference attendees to visit other locations in Michigan. The announcement can be found here. Our Board of Directors meets this week to finalize our strategic plan at a retreat in Kalamazoo. The discussion includes a detailed report on program recommendations developed by staff members based on site visits, a survey, program evaluations, historical context, and the five year assessment conducted by the National Endowment for the Humanities. We plan to release exciting future plans in October. We hope that you enjoy this last month of Michigan?s beautiful summer. Staff members have traveled across Michigan seeing the incredible work of our valued partners and grantees, from the far reaches of the Upper Peninsula to the southern regions, including small towns and larger city projects.

Michigan Humanities is supported by your donations, corporate support, grants, and funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through the Federal/State Partnership. Each year, the Senate and Congress vote to fund the NEH and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). This summer, for the first time in many years, both the House and the Senate have passed the FY 2019 Interior Appropriations bill before August recess. This is the bill that includes funding for the NEH and NEA. We are thankful to our representatives in both the House and the Senate from Michigan, with 80% voting to support funding. We appreciate their confidence and support that our funding is used to make Michigan a better place to work and live. A House/Senate conference must take place before the bill can be finalized, but no further action will take place until September. If you see our representatives during their end of summer recess, please thank them for supporting the NEH/NEA funding, and in turn, supporting Michigan Humanities. Your input means so much to all of us! Thank you. If you have any questions, or would like to become involved in our advocacy efforts throughout the year, please contact Carol Taggart, Communications/Development Officer.

We were excited to read this recent article from PBS NewsHour about the 28 million American adults reading poetry in 2018 and the many ways that student writers are ?pursuing and reading and engaging poetry.? In fact, poetry readership is higher than it has been in 15 years! If your school would like to take part in Michigan?s upcoming Poetry Out Loud activities, registration will be available beginning the week of August 27. Please visit our Poetry Out Loud page later this month to find additional information about the 2018-19 program, and contact Katie Wittenauer if you have any questions.

Got some great information, not the least of which is that, apparently, Anne Seurynck is apparently the go-to lawyer for library legal questions. Should all be a big help while I figure out how to proceed. Responses are compiled below. Hello Don: This can be sticky because of First Amendment issues. The rule of thumb is that if the displays are open to the public to create, you can?t restrict based on content or viewpoint ? the same is true of bulleting boards or other areas where the public may post or leave materials. Here are some references that might be helpful: Library of Michigan piece on library displays: [ https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_69405_79213-136984--,00.html | https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_69405_79213-136984--,00.html ] ALA guidance on Intellectual Freedom in Library Spaces [ http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/spaces | http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/spaces ] Minow, Lipinski, [ http://catalog.lib.msu.edu/record=b3979882~S37a | Library Legal Answer Book (includes chapter on Meeting Rooms & Displays) ] ? Available from Library of Michigan via [ http://elibrary.mel.org/record=b14630558~S15 | MelCat ] As always, it is important to consult with your attorney on any policy changes. I hope these are helpful! _____________________________________________________________________ Hello, We do have a written policy concerning displays; it does pertain more to the ?public use of our display case?. As for our own display; if anyone voices a concern, we explain it?s the role of the library to present both sides of each issue and while you may object to it others appreciate it. We haven?t had anyone really question anything (though being in a farming community, the vegetarian display wasn?t liked by a few families). If you would like to see our Display Policy, you can find it on our website [ http://www.rauchholzlibrary.org/ | www.rauchholzlibrary.org ] under the ?about us? section on the toolbar. It was reviewed and edited by our attorney (Anne Seurynck). ______________________________________________________________________ Don, Here's Livonia's policy copied from our web site: Display Case Use Policy Primary tabs As an educational and cultural institution and as part of its public service, the Livonia Public Library provides exhibit space for non-commercial displays of interest, information and enlightenment to the community. The Library retains priority rights for use of display cases for library purposes but encourages non-profit organizations, community groups, individual or government agencies to provide displays whenever space is available. Display cases provide a public forum in which to exhibit educational, cultural or charitable materials. Provision of space for a display does not indicate endorsement by the library. The Library reserves the right to determine the acceptability of a display. Approval rests with a designated staff member or the Library Director. The Library reserves the right to schedule displays and determine the frequency an individual or group may provide a display. The Library assumes no liability in the event of damage, destruction or theft of a display. Unless other arrangements are made, a display will be exhibited for one month. Failure to dismantle a display by the agreed upon date may result in its removal by library staff. ______________________________________________________________________ I suggest you check with a library lawyer (we use Anne Seurynck) about the legality of your policy. Things have changed a lot and we now have every policy that involves the public reviewed by Anne. Good luck. ______________________________________________________________________ Hi Don, I just saw a webinar about the legalities surrounding library policy. It was really informative and I think it would serve you well to watch it because it was focused on some of the policy issues it sounds like you've been encountering lately. Display/bulletin board policy was mentioned in the webinar.

Some of you might remember that, when I asked about religion in the libraries recently, I also mentioned an objection to our Pride Month display. Well, that wasn't the end of it, apparently, and we may need to update our policy to cover what can and cannot be displayed in the library. So, I'm hoping to get some input on what other libraries may have in their policies that cover this. I will, of course, compile responses, but as before, if you would like your comments to remain private, please tell me so, and I will leave them out. Thanks!

We will be mailing out books, only books for now, to patrons with mobility issues. For those libraries with Homebound services, I am curious what areas of your collection seemed to get checked out more by those using the service? I am trying to get an idea on what should be purchased more in anticipation on this new service. Here are all the responding posts to the question. Hi Mick, Our entire collection is available to our homebound patrons, and they run the gamut on what they check out: magazines, DVDs, large print (fiction & mysteries), biographies, regular print fiction, and romances. We have not had anyone ask for music or audiobooks yet. Hope this helps, Holly Hentz Director Hamburg Township Library 10411 Merrill Rd . P.O. Box 247 Hamburg, MI 48139 810.231.1771 Hamburglibrary.org Hi! We?ve been collecting information on this type of program for some time now ? both mail and physical delivery I?ll attach it in case you are interested, but I?m sure you have probably seen some of it. If possible, could you let me know what your policy is or post the responses to your query below? Thank you! Melissa I would be interested in what you find out. ? Julie Censke Colon Township Library (269) 432-3958 Mick, At the Jackson District Library, our homebound often prefer Large Print Books and Books on CD. About 40-60% will also take regular print books. Our readers tend to ask for much the same types of fiction as anyone else. Different readers ask for different things, like Patterson, Steel, and other bestselling authors. Some prefer Christian fiction and clean romance and family stories, while others are happy to get more spice in their romance novels. Your homebound readers will probably reflect the same reading interests as your general patron population. My patrons are homebound for a variety of reasons. Age, general health, mobility, vision issues, and lack of transportation can create a long-term, temporary, or seasonal need for home delivery. I have served an adult on a tether, and a teen dealing with health problems. We check out and deliver all media, as well as MelCat requests. Let me know if you have any questions.

I?m sure you probably have talked to Sarah about this but it?s large print, audiobooks, and sometimes movies (Classic collection is always a big hit) that we usually send out. Any fiction that?s new is what is usually requested specifically by our patrons, and biographies are also popular. I know you aren?t starting with media too, but consider adding audiobooks if you can. Good luck! Kristen Ps they also get some MeL items. I don?t know how you want to handle that part at Royal Oak, but we do send them with the MeL 3-week due date instead of the extended 4-week one we use for these patrons. Large print is very popular, and front runner genres both there and in regular sized fiction are: westerns, inspirational, and romance. *Hope E.

Box 469* *832 South Lincoln Avenue * *Lakeview, MI 48850 * *989 .352.6274* My past experience: The same stuff your other patrons like, a little more large print, and mysteries slanted a little toward clean and cozy. Connie Since the Library is responsible for delivery and pickup of checked-out items, we have a policy of not charging Outreach patrons overdue fines. Patrons are still charged for lost items. Because of the 1 week checkout for CDs and BOCDs, Outreach patrons are not allowed to request these items from MelCat, but may request books. Marcia Young Outreach Services Jackson District Library 244 W.

Stokes Adult Services Librarian Adult Services Dept. Milford Public Library 330 Family Dr. Milford, MI 48381 248-684-0845, ext. 305 dstokes at milfordlibrary.info Hi Mick ? Large Print best sellers, cozy mysteries and light romance would be your best bet. No fat books even if they?re best sellers (Homebound patrons have a hard time holding heavy items). Pay the extra for the library binding if you can afford it as the paper covered large print do NOT hold up well at all. Don?t buy the $32.00 titles if you can help it as sometimes the homebound stuff never comes back. There are plenty of alternatives out there. Also, look at the larger print Love Inspired paperbacks. They?re CHEAP and a great way to fill up the collection with disposable titles. They have Love Inspired Romance and Love Inspired Suspense. Nonfiction is not as popular although best-selling biographies do well. If patrons need audio I would refer them to the Oakland Talking Book Library. Hope this helps and good luck! Sandy Sandy Gilmore, Head of Adult Services Oxford Public Library 530 Pontiac Street Oxford, MI 48371 (248) 628-3034 Hello Mick, Our Books by Mail program here at the Canton Public Library is a very popular service. As far as print material goes, large print books are the most circulated items for homebound patrons. Some patrons are able to read regular print but even if they can, large print are the preferred choice. Our Books by Mail participants read across all genres with Science Fiction and Fantasy being the least popular. Many stick with one genre, i.e. mystery, inspirational, suspense. Others prefer a variety and most will read bestsellers. It really does depend on the patron and their reading habits. Additionally, books on CD are quite common among our participants given their demographics. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions, Colleen Colleen O?Brien-Brumley, Information Services Librarian Canton Public Library 1200 S. Canton Center Rd. Canton, MI 48810 (734)397-0999 Ext. 1138 Adrienne Breznau Jul 31 (6 days ago) to me Hi Mick! Just curious-why are we limiting them to books only? I feel like that could be viewed as discriminatory... I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. :-) Adrienne Adrienne Breznau Head of Support Services Royal Oak Public Library 222 E. Eleven Mile Road Royal Oak, MI 48067 Tel: 248-246-3714 Michael Howey Jul 31 (6 days ago) to Adrienne Hi Adrienne, Books is only until we get the service running smoothly. We want to focus on working out the kinks, getting use to the process, and initially sending only books is a way to do that. I want to phase into other materials, and ideas, as quickly as possible. As quickly as possible means a month or two. Adrienne Breznau Jul 31 (6 days ago) to me Is that because the due dates are different for DVD's? Michael Howey Jul 31 (6 days ago) to Adrienne Due dates were part of it. That we are not having overdue fines for patrons in the service factored in. Another part was that DVDs, CDs, magazines, and paperbacks tend to have the greatest tendency not to make it back. I would prefer to keep it as simple as possible until the kinks are worked out. I foresee the city making sure they include return postage being the biggest issue. I hope that I am overly concerned about that. This being said, if only a few people sign up for the service, I would think we can include other materials. But that would have to be run past Mary and Matt first. -- Mick Howey Adult Services & Outreach Librarian Ph. 248.246.3724 Royal Oak Public Library 222 East 11 Mile Road Royal Oak, Mi 48067 michaelh at ropl.org ReThink RO -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Additional time may be granted as personal leave without pay, or unused vacation time or personal leave may be granted. My Board is wondering how we would handle step relatives.

Below are the responses I received. We at Wolverine have been fine free for years and we love it. We actually get more books back than we did when we charged fines. It doesn't matter how little the fine is, if they owe they will not bring them in as much. I am so glad we did it. Wolverine Library _____________________________________________________________________ My board has discussed it and it would mean a loss of about $8000 each year in our budget. That is a significant loss for our library being a small rural library. White Cloud Library _____________________________________________________________________ No plans to go fine free ---we're a small class IV library, with a small budget. Fines amount to about $6500 of our budget and that is not including lost and paid items. We do work with our patrons and will often settle for 50% of what they owe on a case by case basis. _____________________________________________________________________ Hi Alycia, I am interested to see your responses. We decided at our last board meeting to go fine free and the board will do a vote once the final wording of the policy change is submitted at the next board meeting. We decided to do this for "good will" more than anything else. We think it will be seen as a positive step by our patrons and community. We also didn't think that a $.20 a day fine up to $2.00 was much of a deterrent to not having book returned on time. Our serial overdue patrons are not deterred by the fine and the others who constitute most of our overdue materials didn't intend to be late and are (as you know) very apologetic, so we really don't feel it necessary to fine them. Leland Township Public Library _____________________________________________________________________ We still have fines but we switched ILS and the new system sends text reminders and our fines have gone way down. _____________________________________________________________________ Alycia, You may be interested in this webinar. Registration link is http://go.sirsidynix.com/Removing-Barriers-to-Access-SD-Webinar.html The following SLC libraries are fine free or partially fine free. Dickinson County Library doesn't charge fines Portage Lake DL stopped charging fines in June Munising Sch/Public Library only charges fines for videos Devereaux Memorial Library doesn't charge fines for juvenile and teen materials - Peter White Public Library stopped charging fines for juvenile and teen materials this spring on a trial basis I hope that this information helps! _____________________________________________________________________ Not fine free here- We seriously thought about it but decided the taxpayers wouldn't like the idea- just the nature of our clientele- people should be responsible!:) So we lowered the fines and made it much easier for people with big fines to get right with the library once. (one time 20.00 for all the books you lost back when you were in high school.) We're making less money but more friends! I think it was a good compromise. Hart Area Public Library _____________________________________________________________________ Hi, We were the other way around. We were fine free until October 2017 then we started charging fimes. Here is what I noticed now that we charge fines. 1. We do get more books back in a more timely manner 2. People have said that they where not coming in now that we have fines because they have a late fee and couldn't pay it so they dropped their books in the drop box. 3. Before late fees people would come in with the book and be able to take out a new book right away. 4. before late fines Kids didn't feel as bad bring back late books because they knew they weren't going to be charged a late fee. But I also think kids need to somehow be held accountable for bring back their books late.(that is a whole different can of worms). FYI... The quickest way I have found to get books back whether you have fines or no fines is withholding computer priviledges. Kids seem to find their books real quick!! We are a very small library (800 people) so the amount we make on late fees is not much. Richmond Township Library _____________________________________________________________________ Hi Alycia, This is something that has been on our radar for a while now, but all our staff meetings take so long that we never get around to discussing it, LOL! I found a few journal articles that address it, and IIRC, there is not a consensus: it works in some places and not in others. I would be very interested in seeing the responses you get, particularly if replies indicated whether they came from a public library vs a college library. _____________________________________________________________________ Alycia - We are not a fine free library (yet) but one of my board members has been supportive of this for a long time. It is something we may pursue next FY. I am interested in hearing what your responses are. _____________________________________________________________________ Hi Alycia-- I've proposed going fine free to my board and they're actually pretty much in favor of it, as we collect not-so-much annually. They always like other opinions, though, beyond journal articles so I'd love it if you'd let me know what you find out.

Further, differentiate instruction with an easy toggle to Enciclopedia Estudiantil Hallazgos, which offers parallel content in Spanish. Educators will find support for classroom instruction with a collection of hands-on, practical science experiments, activities, games, and lesson plans that support STEM/STEAM and makerspace initiatives as well as NGSS, Common Core, and State Standards. Accompanying teacher guides include lesson plans that incorporate a variety of cross-curricular topics. Our most popular feature, World of Animals, allows students to explore a wealth of facts, images, and videos for more than 200 different animals. By using a compare and contrast format, this tool provides quantitative information such as lifespan, size, weight, and where the animal is found in the world side-by-side, which is great for visual learners. Another favorite feature, Important People, helps students search and browse thousands of biographies, all of which can be filtered by categories such as gender, area of expertise, and time period. In addition to a wealth of information and learning tools, World Book Online provides ongoing support in a variety of ways. The World Book Training Guide features a written tutorial as well as a training video series to help subscribers get the most out of World Book Kids.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. Hello from Commerce Township! ? Did you take books from existing J/Teen collections and create a Tween collection or did you start from scratch? -We created a Tween collection by basically creating an Early Chapter Book collection. We went through our entire JFic collection and pulled anything out that was grades 1-3, which we moved into an Early Chapter Book collection. This essentially left us with a Tween collection (grades 4-6) in our JFic. ? Have your circ stats increased from books that were moved over, if you used books in your existing collection? -I'm not sure how to check this myself, but I would say yes. ? Feedback from patrons (positive or negative)? -Patron reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. They love being able to find the books their child can read in one spot, as opposed to having every single chapter book in the same area, as we had before. I think the kids like it too, because they don't see the "little kid" books (Stilton, etc) in their area. ? If you have a collection, do you separate the books or keep them interfiled with a tween sticker on the spine? -We have all of our grades 4-6 fiction shelved in one spot. The only time we label a book with a Tween sticker is if the book has adult themes (like molestation in The Summer of Owen Todd). We wanted to keep the books in the JFic area, but put the label on to alert patrons that it had mature content for that age group. ? Do you find that there are too many places to send patrons looking for materials? (This was a question brought to me when I said I wanted to investigate this collection) -Our pages certainly think so! But patrons have not complained. Honestly, they have been super positive about it. ? Procedure for your processing staff on how to determine what goes in tween? -The librarian who is in charge of this collection makes that decision (and the department head if there are questions) __________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Did you take books from existing J/Teen collections and create a Tween collection or did you start from scratch? YES * Have your circ stats increased from books that were moved over, if you used books in your existing collection? YES * Feedback from patrons (positive or negative)? POSITIVE!! Overwhelmingly positive. * If you have a collection, do you separate the books or keep them interfiled with a tween sticker on the spine? Separate space * Do you find that there are too many places to send patrons looking for materials? (This was a question brought to me when I said I wanted to investigate this collection) NO * Procedure for your processing staff on how to determine what goes in tween? I make the decisions, so we don't need written guidelines for circ staff. I do have guidelines that I use. (Age of protagonist, storyline, language) * Anything else you can think of that might be relevant/helpful? The best way to describe a tween collection is "a bridge from Juvenile to Teen." These are the books that are too old for juvenile readers, but they do not contain the heavy issues that are found in some teen books. This is not to say that you don't put "problem novels" in tween, you just make sure they are age-appropriate. ________________________________________ ____________________________________________ * Did you take books from existing J/Teen collections and create a Tween collection or did you start from scratch? At Novi, we used our existing collections to start a tween collection. We pulled books from both youth fiction and YA fiction. We knew that we would have a great deal of books being pulled from both collections, so a tip would be to make sure you have the space to accommodate the new collection. * Have your circ stats increased from books that were moved over, if you used books in your existing collection? We have found that books that were not circulating in the youth and/or YA fiction collections have now circulated better in the tween fiction collection. We started the tween fiction collection is March 2016 and all the books in that collection have circulated to date. ? Feedback from patrons (positive or negative)? The Library has received positive feedback from patrons regarding the Tween Collection. Patrons, especially parents, often mention that having tween books separate from the youth and teen collections makes it easier for them to find age appropriate books for their children. * If you have a collection, do you separate the books or keep them interfiled with a tween sticker on the spine? Our tween fiction collection has its own designated collection area. It is shelved after the youth fiction collection. Our YA collections are housed on the second floor of the Library. At the time of the creation of our tween fiction collection, there were no professional stickers available. The Library made its own ?tween? sticker. * Do you find that there are too many places to send patrons looking for materials? (This was a question brought to me when I said I wanted to investigate this collection) No! It actually makes it much easier when doing reference interviews and reader?s advisory with patrons. It is especially helpful when a middle school student is looking to browse, as all the books that have appropriate content and are appealing to that age group are kept in one spot. At Novi, we made sure to only have books in one collection regardless of appeal. For example, Harry Potter could have appeal for teens, but we have all copies in the tween fiction collection. * Procedure for your processing staff on how to determine what goes in tween? We have one Information Services Librarian who purchases the youth fiction, tween fiction, and YA fiction, so this librarian makes the call as to which collection the book belongs in. This librarian looks at professional reviews to see what is recommended age group. Lots of professional reviews have caught on to the popularity of tween fiction collections, and as a result, the reviews reflect these age groups (i.e. grades 4-8 or grades 5-8 or ages 9-12 or ages 10-14). * Anything else you can think of that might be relevant/helpful? In the Novi Community School District, grades fifth and sixth are in their own building separate from the seventh and eighth grade students. Librarians found that these students who utilized the Novi Public Library did not know where to find books suited for their grade level. Our librarians wanted to give middle school students a place of their own in the Library to find materials that interested them. The Tween Collection helped to accomplish this, as these students could easily identify titles similar to those they would find at their school library as well as other titles that they may not have discovered yet. Furthermore, the Tween Collection was created as a result of patrons looking for middle grade books that were found in both our youth and young adult collections. Through reference interviews, librarians found that parents were reluctant to let their middle school child look for a book that was housed in the teen room (located on the second level of our Library). The goal was to make it easier to find age-appropriate books for middle school aged children all in one place. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ At Farmington Community Library, we have a Tween collection that was developed a couple years ago by one of our Teen Librarians, Jennie Willard. She presented about it along with a Librarian from Novi at Spring Institute in 2016, and I?ve attached the documents and presentation they used. Most of the items selected for the Tween collection came from our existing YA collection, though a Children?s Librarian gave some older J fiction items to add as well. Since then we have a designated budget for acquiring new Tween items and replacement copies for popular titles. In general, adding the Tween collection was definitely the right decision for us. Feedback from patrons has generally been good. Parents of tweens are particularly excited about it; I frequently talk to parents who are noticing that their kids are too old for most of the juvenile fiction we have, but they?re concerned about some of the content in our YA fiction collection. We have a Tween sticker that we use instead of the YA sticker on items for this collection. The collection is still considered part of our YA fiction collection, but with the shelf location listed as Tween Fiction. Patrons get a little confused, but I think that?s because our Tween collection ends in the middle of a row of shelves and the regular YA fiction starts immediately after it. Our goal moving forward is to have the Tween collection take up one row and make sure the signage is clear. We typically consider any items that are grades 5-9, ages 10-14, or somewhere in that range. Since we have different librarians ordering for the J Fiction, YA Fiction, and Tween Fiction collections, we tend to check in with each other on items that we?re not sure which of us should purchase. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ At my last library in IL, I inherited a middle school fiction collection, and I would honestly not recommend creating one. This collection annually had the worst circulation in the entire library, primarily because everyone self-selects out of this age group. After surveying patrons, we learned that middle school students like to think that they are more mature, and they prefer to shop around in the Teen collection. Parents who were directed to a book in the middle school collection opted for JFic, because thinking of their 6th grader as a teen scared them. We started doing some additional testing by putting copies of books in both places (where appropriate), and the Teen and JFic books always circ'ed significantly more. Let me know if you have any questions. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ We started the Tween programming here in 2010 and consider tweens kids in 4th-6th grade. Our teen program begins with 7th. We don't classify books as "Tween" except to say that all of our J fiction in the Children's room is considered that age range (4th-6th grade) and books upstairs in our YA room are, of course, considered "teen". So I guess we got around labeling things "tween" and instead consider simply juvenile fiction as tween fiction. We do have a display for "New Tween Books" that is quite popular with this age group. Once again, these are labeled on the spine as "J" fiction. I'm a very small library, and when I took over from the previous director, our collection essentially went from J to YA. After some thought, we created Preteen and Teen sections. Our preteen is 9-11, teen is 11-14, and YA is 15+ (J is 9 and under, which includes picture books and beginner chapter books). This makes it SOOOO much easier for the age groups to find the books that not only interest them, but are age appropriate. We went into our system and re-cataloged them accordingly (T and PT). __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tecumseh District Library My Tween Collection is geared for fifth graders through seventh graders; each library defines their Tween parameters differently, I have found! This age/grade range works for us. This is not to say that only these students check out the Tween books, of course! Many kids in the lower levels love the Big Nate series and the James Patterson books, etc. and gravitate towards them. 1. I began to build my Tween Collection by re-cataloging upper reading level J Fiction books and also by buying brand new books. My new Teen Librarian also passed along some existing YA series to re-catalog as Tweens because they were really too young for her teen collection but too old to be placed in the children's chapter books. 2. I have not had any negative feedback from patrons. at all. Folks got used to the location of the new collection and seemed happy to have an "in-between" section. I personally love my Tween Collection! 3. My Tween Collection is a separate entity and is shelved independently from the Juvenile Chapter books, but it is nearby. The spine labels read T FIC REA and J FIC SCH, for example, so our Circulation Staff knows where to shelve the books. 4. No, this has not resulted in a feeling of having too many places to send people to look for books! The Juvenile Collection is adjacent to the Tween Collection so it is not a hardship to scoot from one collection to the other!! The Young Adult Collection is on the other side of the building but the kids have no problems walking over to that section if they are interested in teen books. Plus, if patrons happen to use the card catalog during their search, the location clues on the call letters tell them where to look: J Fic, T Fic, or YA Fic. 5. As the Children's Librarian, I make the determination when I build my orders or when I catalog of which collection my books go in, Juvenile or Tween! The processing staff then prepares the book according to my decision. 6. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail! ______________________________________________________________________________________________ This is from 2015, but may come in handy: [ https://blogs.wayne.edu/yacityyac/2015/02/27/group-two-first-blogsquestions-about-services-for-children-and-teens/ | https://blogs.wayne.edu/yacityyac/2015/02/27/group-two-first-blogsquestions-about-services-for-children-and-teens/ ] ???????????????? __________________________________________________________________________________________________ A year and a half ago I was asked to take-on ordering Tween books, thereby creating a Tween collection. We have a small library, so it was decided to not give the Tweens their own location. They are housed within the Teen and JFIC collections, with a designated TWEEN sticker above the spine label. That being said, I spent the first few months researching what I wanted the parameters of Tween books to be, going through our existing collections, changing records, and adding designation stickers. I only work 11 hours each week at this library, so this could probably have been done more quickly. As I shelf books now, I will still scan the collections to see if there are other items that should be changed to Tween. I've been ordering books and building the Tween collection for just over a year now. My biggest challenge is that after I have created my order, I have to double check our inventory, as well as both the Teen and the JFIC orders to make sure they haven't already ordered something that I am interested in. This is very time consuming. I am also selective with what I order due to limited space and budget. As for processing, the difficulty for me comes in deciding if the new additions should be housed in JFIC or Teen. Deciding if the content is more mature than a JFIC label, or too immature for a Teen label has caused many a headache. (It would be SO much easier to just have a home location for the Tween, with a Tween spine label, so if you can, then do so.) When I place my orders, I print a copy of the order and then make notes as to how I want the spine label to read so those processing will know what to do. At first, there was a lot of second guessing my decisions by coworkers, due to other libraries having the books in a different home location. I felt I had to defend my thinking. The collection I am building is based on our patrons, currently owned series, reviews from multiple sources, and recommended age/grade from multiple sources. I also take the age of the main character into consideration as well as the content. Some orders are easy, some not so easy. Yes, we have noticed an upward trend in circulation. Parents appreciate the age appropriateness of the Tween collection and the ease of finding the books with the orange Tween stickers whether they are in the JFIC or Teen collection-they are easy to spot. -Addison Twp. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks!

I do have news that Saginaw and Wayne counties have/or are in the process of issuing checks. I have not heard from the following county Treasurers: Baraga, Chippewa, Emmet, Gladwin, Kalamazoo, Keweenaw, Manistee, Mecosta & Muskegon Counties. This does not mean that they didn't distribute fines, it means that I have not received their reporting that is due September 1, 2018.

The "designated individual" is treated like a spouse for purposes of funeral leave, Family and Medical Leave, dependent care leave, etc. This is from Northern Michigan University's Administrative/Professional collective borrowing agreement. Similar language is in our other employee agreements. 16.1.2 Funeral Leave. If a death occurs among members of an employee's immediate family (as defined below), the employee will be excused from work, with pay, for three (3) working days in order to attend the funeral and to make other necessary arrangements. In the case of an employee's parent, spouse or designated individual*, child, or stepchild, five (5) working days will be permitted. Because of extenuating circumstances, the Director of Human Resources may grant the bereaved employee additional time charged to the employee's accumulated annual leave or may extend the period of this funeral leave. An employee will be allowed one (1) day to attend the funeral of an uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the employee or employee's spouse. Definition of Immediate Family: The immediate family shall be interpreted as including: spouse or designated individual, child, stepchild, father, mother, sister, brother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, stepfather-in-law, stepmother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, daughter-inlaw, son-in-law, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather-in-law, grandmother-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, half brother, half sister, grandchild, and dependent persons (foster children or relatives residing in the home). *The name of the designated individual must be on file with the Human Resources Department at least six (6) months prior to utilization of such leave. A reasonable number of employees in the unit will be allowed to attend the funeral of a fellow employee or former employee, without loss of pay, provided they return to work after the funeral. Employees who serve as pallbearers at a funeral of a fellow employee or former employee will be paid during the time they must be off the job. http://www.nmu.edu/hr/sites/Drupalhr/files/UserFiles/Files/Contracts/AP_Contract_FINAL_WEB_2015_-_2018_w-MOU.pdf Leslie -- Leslie A.

In doing some research, I've found some libraries have a color coded system designating general reading levels for easy browsing, some libraries have books shelved by publisher, and others have switched from the spine out shelving method for cover out shelving so patrons can see the reading levels as they go. Just a few examples that I've come across. Considering your collection, what have you found works best (or worst) for your library?

I formerly worked at the Brighton District Library and was charged with the Easy Reader Collection. At BDL, we had a colored dot level system with a legend explaining the system. Parents used the legend to understand the dot system. This was in place when I took it over and to my knowledge it is still working effectively. I currently work at the Salem-South Lyon Library and there system is a bit different. They follow the publishers levels and put the level number on the spine label. I have added an explanation sheet to this system to clarify for parents what each level number means. In both libraries, I find the biggest problem to be the different ways that the publishers determine they level of the book. A level one in Ready to Read is not the same as a Level one in World of Reading. That is part of the reason in both libraries I created an explanation legend/sheet for parents. I would love to see a compiled list of response, Mary On Sun, Aug 12, 2018 at 12:00 PM, wrote: > Send Michlib-l mailing list submissions to > michlib-l at mcls.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > michlib-l-request at mcls.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > michlib-l-owner at mcls.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Michlib-l digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Message-ID: Library Director-Hackley Public Library (Muskegon, MI) Closes Sunday, August 19! Inform-Inspire-Delight! The Board of Trustees of the Hackley Public Library (Muskegon, MI) is looking to fill the position of Library Director. The Board seeks a Library Director who will inform, inspire and delight its 40,000+ residents through exciting programming, a dedicated staff making a difference, a vital Friends of the Library group, and strong collections - all through a beautiful, historic building (listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Places), in vibrant downtown Muskegon. Governed by a seven-member Board, the Library provides excellent services and programs with 28 staff, and a $1.9 million annual budget. The Library is well supported by its community-approval of a 2014 building bond allowed the Board and staff to identify areas for restoration and repair beginning in 2016. Too, the Library, through its "The Building of Character" fundraising campaign, raised $1.1 million in donations. A key opportunity is implementing the Library's 2016-2020 Strategic Plan highlighting the Library's core values: promoting access to knowledge, understanding, and wisdom; overcoming ignorance, intolerance, and indifference; promoting literacy and the free exchange of ideas; and conserving and celebrating its diverse national and local cultural heritage. Muskegon, located on the shore of Lake Michigan, is a popular destination. With beautiful beaches, parks and lakes, summer and winter outdoor opportunities include water sports, cross country skiing, biking, and hiking. Muskegon's cost of living as a waterfront destination is one of the lowest in the country with many lifestyle options - from downtown lofts and condos to single-family homes. Downtown Muskegon is experiencing a resurgence in growth and renewal-including a thriving Farmer's Market, the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts, the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra as well as the well-regarded Muskegon Museum of Art. A desired destination for young professionals, Muskegon is an attractive, exciting place to live and grow. Both Chicago and Detroit are within a few hours' drive. For more information about the Library, Muskegon, and the area, please see Muskegon Links. Responsibilities. Under the direction of the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director develops, administers, supervises, and coordinates the work of the Library and staff, performs managerial duties related to personnel, budget, collection development, building maintenance, and library operations and services in conformity with Michigan State law and under the policies and strategic directions established by the Board of Trustees. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master's Degree of Library Science from an ALA-accredited program; four years in a post-professional library position; and the ability to obtain and retain Michigan Certification Level 1. Essential attributes and skills include: excellent communication and organizational skills; the ability and desire to plan, develop, and administer the activities of a public library; supervisory experience; a commitment to diversity; and demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the Board, staff and community stakeholders. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board, proven community engagement activities, and experience with a successful millage campaign are highly desirable. Compensation. The starting salary range is $80,000 - $92,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package.

Each book has a colored dot at the top of the spine - we have four levels to help patrons pinpoint difficulty. I put those on myself and we use ?" dots so they don't take up much spine space, but the bright colors are still distinct. This seems to be working fairly well for us. Circulation for this collection is relatively high and we've gotten good feedback from patrons and staff about the dotted levels. The biggest challenges are keeping track of the series that are shelved by title to make sure they get the right spine label, and physically getting the dots on the books. Please, if you have any further questions just send me a email. Erin Strand Information Services Librarian strande at cantonpl.org Canton Public Library 1200 S.

Just a few examples that I've come across. Considering your collection, what have you found works best (or worst) for your library? If anyone would also like a compilation of responses, I would be happy to oblige.

[TBS Book Jacket]Ready to Read Michigan (RTRM) is gearing up for its second year of providing books and materials to public libraries throughout Michigan for outreach to children ages 0-5. The program is designed for public librarians to model early literacy skill development directly to families and engage in outreach to early childhood centers, preschool classrooms and daycares throughout their community. The title for 2019's RTRM is Touch the Brightest Star by Christie Matheson, an interactive "journey from sunset to sunrise." Selected by the Library of Michigan's Youth Services Advisory Council for the read-aloud's ability to engage a young audience and its alignment with the 5 Practices of Every Child Ready to Read; Talk, Read, Write, Sing, Play. In preparation for programming in March (Reading Month!), public libraries will receive a kit in late January to early February of 2019, containing supplies for effective outreach, including extra ?books, posters, bookmarks, and a link to the 2019 programming guide. Virtual storytime training around the book will also be available this winter. This project is currently made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Meanwhile, in public libraries and with the Every Child Ready to Read program, we view early literacy more as ages birth to age 5. No matter how we vary in age ranges, the underlining ideas and instructional practices are important to be aware of. Please take a look at MDE's "MAPLE" Plan and be sure to also take a look at "Michigan's Action Plan for Literacy Excellence, 2017-2020," so that in the public library world we are aware of the practices the early childhood centers, preschools and schools are implementing around early literacy. Be sure to also check out the General Education Leadership Network's (GELN) Early Literacy Resources, which include Instructional Practices for Prekindergarten.

For the purposes of this survey, we use the phrase "summer library program" in equivalence to summer reading program or summer learning program. This survey does not concern materials and promotions provided by CSLP partner organizations, such as Demco/Upstart. The survey is open now through October 31, 2018. All public libraries in Michigan are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, thanks to funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Value of CSLP Membership and Materials survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslp_value This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

While there?s no single solution to this, there is an approach that can help. The Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) will present ?Leading Change with Powerful Conversations Using Appreciative Inquiry,? at 1:30 - 3 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, Aug. 22. This webinar will explore the power of appreciative inquiry, a strengths-based approach to creating organizational evolution by developing conversations where all feel heard with respect and empathy. By posing powerful questions that ask what can be, leaders can help their organization become more energized and innovative. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/llama-webinar-helps-leaders-move-beyond-problem-fixing AWARDS AND GRANTS Friends of Shelby Area District Library and Friends of the Ravenna Library receive United for Libraries?

From wanting a more streamlined ILL to rethinking how volunteers are onboarded, these are the pesky problems where you may be thinking, "Gosh, I wish someone would just come in and help us figure this out." If this sounds like you, and you're with a 50-mile driving distance of Ann Arbor, you're in luck! The U-M School of Information runs a required course every year in which our graduate student teams engage in consulting with a design thinking-like technique. See the details below. (Oh -- every year we hear that you're frustrated that this work is limited to within a 50-mile drive of Ann Arbor. We're flattered ... but we have to set this limit because many of our students lack the transportation and time necessary for longer commutes. Sorry about that! Click here to see other opportunities that do not require student travel.) Thanks! Kristin The University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) is now seeking clients for consulting as part of a Fall 2018 course, SI 501: Contextual Inquiry & Consulting Foundations. During this one semester course, master?s degree students work with clients to *identify, analyze, and recommend solutions for client problems related to products, services, and information processes*. There is no cost to client organizations. Over the years, SI 501 students have worked with more than 200 partner organizations including corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, libraries, and schools. Ideal client projects fit within one of the following categories: - Improving or repairing an existing information or communication process; - Improving or repairing an existing product or service; - Evaluating service design, such as processes for walk-in customers at service desks. To propose a project for your company or organization, please complete this very brief form as soon as possible, and no later than August 24, 2018. Following submission, a member of project development team will contact you to develop and refine your project scope during the summer. Please feel free to email with any questions you may have, and share this email widely with others who might be interested. We have provided additional information below, which may be useful for sharing. You can also view our other client opportunities in UX design, data analysis, social media, library and archives services, and community engagement at http://umsi.info/clientopportunities . Thank you! *Kelly A. Kowatch* *Director, Office of Professional and Community EngagementUniversity of Michigan School of Information (UMSI)777 North University, Ann Arbor, MI 48104-1611umsi.client.engagement at umich.edu * = = = = = = = About SI 501, Contextual Inquiry and Consulting Foundations: This master?s degree level course provides professional training and skill-building in user-centered design via the basic principles of an established process known as ?contextual inquiry.? In their capacity as consultants, faculty-coached student teams collect data related to your client project through meetings and interviews with project stakeholders, observations of work practices and information system usage, and examination of artifacts (e.g. physical workspaces, databases, social media accounts, etc.). The student teams then synthesize and analyze this qualitative data, and produce formal reports through which they present their analyses and recommendations for future action. (Student teams will not be expected to implement solutions as a part of this course, though many will be available the following summer for internships.) Clients should meet the following criteria: - Have a product, service, information process, or communication process already in place that needs repair or improvement. - Be able to provide at least five relevant people who would be willing to be interviewed and observed in person for 60-90 minutes by the student team in September-November, 2018. - Are within 50 miles of Ann Arbor (preference is given to local projects). - Can accommodate the timeline below. Timeline for Fall 2018 clients: - Summer 2018: client proposal and refinement of parameters with SI 501 teaching staff - September/October 2018: initial meeting, interviews and observations - November 2018: feedback and follow-up interviews - December 2018: final report and presentation Problems that affect organizational and communication efficiency and productivity are a good match for student teams: - ?We have channels for distributing information to our constituents, but the right information isn?t always shared.? - ?We keep adding staff to our service desk, but the lines haven?t gone down.? - ?We have a database, but we aren?t putting in or taking out the information that we need.? - ?A patron ordered a book, and they got it -- but it took weeks to get it to them.? Examples of past projects: - Reviewing a health clinic's telephone queue and voicemail system, with attention to why call abandonment rates are so high. - Investigating how an online job-matching company could improve retention and engagement of its resume-posting users. - Exploring how a public library's process to acquire and weed materials among its three branches could be integrated and streamlined. - Understanding the bottlenecks of a non-profit organizations complex reporting requirements, and how to relieve them. Client testimonials: - A private company: ?The team did a good job learning about the context of our company and the challenge we were having, which ultimately allowed them to make recommendations that were relevant and helpful for us.? - An academic library: ?The team did a great job! I appreciate the final report immensely, and really appreciated the production of tangible deliverables I can use.? - A university service department: ?They understood our complex challenges, and came up with some good ideas for us to tackle to improve our communications and relationships with our customers.? - A non-profit organization: ?We have some complex systems very specific to our industry that usually take people a while to catch on to but the students really picked things up quickly.? About UMSI: The University of Michigan School of Information was chartered in 1996 as a new school within the University with the mission to conduct research in, and to teach about, topics at the intersection of people, information, and technology; its roots trace back to 1926 as a library science department. Our award-winning faculty have training in computer science, library science, business, psychology, economics, education, history, and other fields, and they investigate topics ranging from digitization of archival documents to relationships on social media, from data analysis using machine intelligence to the economics of information. The school comprises about 50 faculty, 50 staff, 60 PhD students, 400 professional master?s degree students and 300 bachelor?s degree students.

These desensitize magnetic tape. They do not read RFID. (We are not an RFID library.) We've used them with the Horizon, Symphony, and now TLC Carl systems without a problem. They have detachable printers. One unit is free-standing--it comes on/with a table. The other two need to be on a table. They are 9 years old, but they have been trouble-free for us. While we'd really like to recover some funds, we asked $3,000 for the table unit, and $2,000 each for the other two, we have had no bites in southeastern Michigan. We got into self-check first because in a small town kind of place, which Hartland is, where you have such wonderful stability in your Circulation staffing, which we do, it can be intimidating and inhibit circulation of some of the tougher topics on your shelves. Self-check allows for privacy of check-out. We all honor privacy, I know, but when you're facing divorce, abortion, child custody, and some illnesses deemed less "acceptable" being able to check out the materials you need privately can make a difference. Yes, it also helped take some of the business off the Circulation desk and staff so that they could do more of the follow-up on materials and reader's advisory work at which that staff often excels. Our implementation of self-checks was not to lessen personal service, but to increase it. And, at this point, this replaced equipment needs to go. We are willing to consider best offers. We are willing to accept payment plans. We cannot deliver, but we can store until the October Michigan Library Association Conference in Novi, if you are only able to come and get them at that point. We are just 5 miles north of the intersection of US 23 and I 96 and have open hours from 9:00 am until 9:00 pm Monday-Thursday, plus 10am-5pm Friday and Saturday, and shortly, we'll be open on Sundays from 12-5pm. We can make arrangements for other times. We would really like to see them continued to be used. Let me know - cmarlow at cromaine.org, 810-632-5200, ext 105.

Unfortunately, there was only one response, which I've included below. It seems there is a lot of interest in putting on such a program but none of us are quite sure how to do so! I've reached out to some local contacts but haven't heard much. If I put something together myself I will be sure to send it out to the list. I planned a tattoo program. I used the Oakland County health department, who offered a safe tattoo and piercing educational class. I also had a a student come in who was going to school to be a tattoo artist from College for Creative Studies. I began the program with a quick history of tattoos and the art aspect, leading with the health and safety, and ended with the artist discussing his passion, experience, and a few stories. It was a summer program and we had small numbers, but no less that any other summer program. Good luck with yours!

A few months ago we were trying to come up with a solution to combat the smell in our small teen space and we thought that perhaps our young patrons could benefit from selected hygiene products. One of our employees contacted our local food pantry (OCEF) to see if they might be able to help and they gave us a number of gift cards to purchase supplies. We put the items in a basket along with some plastic bags for privacy and our teens have responded really well to the free items. On top of that, we just had one of our 5k sponsors, local dentist Dr. Tahaney, provide us with 24 toothbrushes and toothpaste. We love how our community has worked together to solve a problem that many of our libraries face. So, has it helped with the smell in the teen room?? We are happy to report that it has!!

Sports fans will enjoy close proximity to many stellar professional baseball, football and basketball teams as well as the nearby Pro Football Hall of Fame. Barberton is known for its unique style of fried chicken known as Barberton Chicken, which reflects a proud tradition of many immigrant families arriving in Barberton in the late 1800s and early 1900s, attributing to the city's "magic" growth during that time.

Highlighted Content on WebJunction From Awareness to Funding: 5 Probable Supporters and How to Reach Them: if you work or volunteer in a library, you may have heard about the report, From Awareness to Funding: Voter Perceptions and Support of Public Libraries in 2018. If you haven?t read it, here?s the good news: compared to 2008, more voters think of libraries as hubs for connecting, learning, and skill-building. The not-so-good news: most voters don?t understand where library funding comes from, and they are less committed to supporting tax-based library funding than they were a decade ago. Learn more in this article highlighting probable supporters. Social Library: In this latest edition, learn about a record-breaking card campaign, catapulting zucchinis, bird feeders, film discussions and pictorial knitting.

Check out this free webinar presented by InfoPeople. Would you like to learn new methods of encouraging and inspiring motivation in your staff? Understanding what motivation is and how it works, is a critical management and leadership skill. This one hour webinar will explore the application of Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory (also known as Herzberg's Two Factor Theory). Herzberg posited that factors leading to job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction are separate. Which means supervisors must seek to both decrease factors that correspond to dissatisfaction and increase factors that correspond to satisfaction. The presenter will illustrate examples of this theory in staff training, meetings, onboarding, and in the day-to-day interactions supervisors have with their employees. Attendees will walk away with news ideas for how to create a work environment where employees are fulfilled. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: Recognize job factors that contribute to workplace satisfaction and factors that lead to workplace dissatisfaction. Consider how to increase feelings of fulfillment and decrease workplace discontent. Apply Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory (also known as Herzberg's Two Factor Theory) to workplace scenarios. This webinar will be of interest to: Managers and supervisors in public, special, school, and academic libraries Webinars are free of charge, you can pre-register by visiting https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=783 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of our goals is to organize the content in a way that makes it easier to find, so not only will the look and feel be changing, but some of the content will be moving to homes that fit better. This week's MeL Minute highlights the changes to the Government, Legal, and Michigana portals. Just like a library's physical stacks need to be managed, we have been busy weeding and re-arranging to ensure the content in these three portals is up-to-date and organized. The Library of Michigan site will now house our government, legal and Michigan content and, where it made sense after weeding, any content that remained in these three areas has been co-located with existing content to create a "one-stop" experience for users. Michigana Content from the MeL Michigana Portal can now be found in two places on the Library of Michigan site. In the "For the Public" section, check "Michigan Materials" and "Newspapers". * The Michigan Materials area includes links to County Guides, Historical Research Collections, Michigan Imprints from 1851-1876, Michigan Bibliographies and Michigan Digital Collections. * The Newspapers area includes links to the Library of Michigan's holdings, other newspaper resources and links to Michigan newspapers, and an alphabetical listing of newspaper family histories. Government Content from the MeL Government Portal can now be found at the Library of Michigan site under "Government Information" in the "For the Public" section. * There is a Michigan Documents area, a Michigan Local Documents area, and a Federal Documents area. * On the Government page, a wealth of information can be found including links to the Library of Michigan's ANSWER Catalog, the Catalog of Government Publications, Governing Michigan, the HathiTrust Digital Library and govinfo, a service of the U.S. Government Publishing Office. Links to state and federal government website archives are also available, as well as contact information for Government Documents staff at the Library of Michigan. Legal Content from the MeL Legal Portal can now be found at the Library of Michigan site under "Law Library" in the "For the Public" section. * Here users will find connections to Directories, Research Databases (including Governing Michigan), Research Guides, Statutes, Regulations and Decisions and contact information for the Law Library. Trending legal cases can be found in the "Top Information Links" area and include updates on gerrymandering, medical marijuana, and the 2018 Michigan ballot proposals. Brought to you by Liz Breed of the MeL Team. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library or school access only. 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.

I'd like to pick your collective brains about teen program attendance. Our attendance is down from last year, and I often have teen patrons tell me that they "didn't know" about some program or another (that they definitely expressed interest in). I've been trying to remedy this by using the service Remind, which was created to allow teachers to send messages and notifications to students without needing their phone number/email address/etc. Sounds useful, right? The kids would get program announcements right on their cell phones. The problem is, I've hardly been able to get anyone to sign up for it. It's not a difficult process, but for whatever reason, the teens are super reluctant to actually do it. Has anyone here had success with Remind at their library? Do you have another method for making certain that teens know about upcoming events? I look forward to hearing about your experiences! -- Keeley Briggs *Teen Services Assistant* *Branch District Library* p: (517) 278-2341 ex. 122 e: BriggsK at branchdistrictlibrary.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Homemade "Strawberry Water" Before the summer's over, try out this recipe from the 1887 edition of The Original White House Cook Book: "Take one cupful of ripe hulled berries; crush with a wooden spoon, mixing with the mass a quarter of a pound of pulverized sugar and half a pint of cold water. Pour the mixture into a fine sieve, rub through and filter till clear; add the strained juice of one lemon and one and a half pints of cold water, mix thoroughly, and set in ice-chest [refrigerator] till wanted. This makes a nice, cool drink on a warm day, and easily to be made in strawberry season." The new issue of Michigan History is here!

No one can see the name of who the item is reserved for except staff. [We] recently (about a year ago?) went to self-serve holds, except with MeL books (on shelves behind circ). Concerned with patron privacy, we use only the 1st 4 letters of the patron?s last name and the last four of the patron?s card number on the slip that wraps the book. We also wrap the book with the spine facing toward the back of the shelf. The patrons have not complained, to my knowledge. We have a self-serve hold shelf. In order to keep it more private, we place the spines inward and the slip with the name sticks out of the pages of the book facing the back cover. I hope this helps. We have always wondered about this! We started open hold shelves about six months ago. We lay the books title down and have the patron?s name on a slip of paper that sticks out the end. So far ? so good! We keep our holds behind the front desk for privacy reasons. It?s worked out well for us. We have had self-serve holds for a number of years now (at least 9, I think), and changed at the same time we added self-check machines. I suspect we are not alone in this timing! I too was skeptical at first but there hasn't been a problem. We even do it with MeL loans now and have yet to lose a MeL loan this way (our own items have gone missing from time to time, though). As far as privacy goes, our shelves are right across from our desk, in full view of the staff, which helps. We've really only had one patron look at others' holds, but this patron is one of our most difficult ones anyway and stopped after being told not to do so. We wrap the spine with a half-sheet of paper, which allows us to cover the spine label and a good portion of the title, and shelve our own items with the spine facing outwards. For MeL items we wrap (again with a half-sheet of paper) the edge of the book and shelve the items with the spine inwards; we had gotten into the habit of doing this when they were shelved behind our desk. About the only thing that comes up is this: a patron pulls a hold off the shelf, decides they don't want it, and then returns the item to our sorter without telling anyone. The hold stays active (with the same pickup date as before) and there is then a bit of confusion until we figure it all out. However, this doesn't happen very often. We also have the occasional hold leave without being checked out, but again this is very rare. I would be interested to hear about other libraries' experiences, particularly those who use automatically-printed hold wrappers as those appear to be smaller than our current hold wrapper. We have a lot of holds and no place to store them behind our Circ desk. We have shelves just outside each side of the Circ desk where they are held. A-L is on one side, M-Z is on the other. We generate a printed paper when the requested material is available with their last name running down the spine. The paper is folded it to fit around the book, dvd, etc. and secured with a rubberband and they are filed alphabetically by last name on the shelves. This seems to be working well and allows the patrons to be self-sufficient. We keep our regular patron holds in a self-serve shelving area. Some things we do to protect their privacy are to shelve the books spine IN, so only the ends of the pages are showing, or the lock side of a DVD lock box. Other than that, it's not very private, although we have not had any complaints that I know of. I know [another] Library allow patrons to make up a fake name (I forget what they call it - an avatar?) that goes on their holds. So, for example, their holds could be under "Batman" instead of their real name. In looking at their holds shelves, some people took advantage of this and some didn't. Maybe 30% did and 70% didn't? (I was on vacation, not paying super close attention.) I made this suggestion to our library, but it wasn't acted on. It might be that our software (Polaris) doesn't have this capability, or maybe we just haven't had complaints about privacy. Our interlibrary loan holds we keep behind our circulation desk for safe-keeping. we have self-serve hold shelves. We shelve the books spine in, so patrons cannot see the titles others are checking out. We have not had any issues with this method as far as I am aware. We keep behind the desk for privacy reasons. [We] keep holds behind the circulation desk. Items are not disclosed unless either the holding patron or his or her library card is present. I have wondered about self-serve hold shelves myself. Privacy seems very difficult to maintain. We just started self-serve holds a week ago today. Our ILS (Sirsi Symphony) has a hold wrapper receipt option that can be customized. We chose to include first 3 letters of the patron last name + last four digits of the patron library card number. We also shelve the items spine down for extra privacy. I think our system seems private- though with only 3 letters of the last name we have multiple SMI or BRO out at any given time, but with the last 4 of the library card we can keep the items separate. We do have patrons pulling and handling other patrons? items already. An option that we will offer anyone who is still concerned about privacy is slipping their items into large manila envelopes, or possibly shelving in our former holds drawers. We?ve been self-serve since our remodel about seven years ago, but are considering going back to keeping holds behind the checkout desk. It?s not that patrons have complained, we feel it would be less of a violation of privacy. However, since then we?ve introduced self-check so there?s that to consider and some patrons are content with the flow: walk-in, pickup holds, checkout through self-check, leave. In my opinion, it's a major privacy violation and a serious violation of professional ethics. https://journals.ala.org/index.php/rusq/article/view/3797/4151 -- Shane Stewart Circulation Supervisor Chesterfield Township Library 50560 Patricia Ave. Chesterfield, MI 48051 Phone: 586-598-4900 Fax: 586-598-7900 E-mail: shanestewart at chelibrary.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They have been most helpful. Emily Ellison I have machine washed so many stuffed animals over the years, seems like it would also work for puppets, Remove any ribbons, bows, etc. tie into a pillow case, wash and dry lightly in machine. I would also check with a local drycleaner. Good luck! Connie Commerce Twp. Public Library Our friends of the library take care of that for us. If they are able to be washed they do so in pillowcases. If they need dry cleaned our local cleaner does it. Joann @ Hudson I take the puppets home and put two or three in a pillowcase; tie the pillowcase up; toss in the washing machine on Delicate (warm water). Then I throw the whole thing in the dryer. If a puppet doesn't make it, too bad. We rotate our puppets every two to three months, so I have time to let them dry fully, etc. This is all much simpler because we don't have tags--just wrote Saline District Library in permanent marker on the manufacturer's tag.

We started automatic renewals just over three years ago. Overall it has been very well received by our customers. Below are my quick thoughts on pros and cons: PROS: 1. Great PR for the public. They love it when they get extra time without even asking for it. It greatly reduces fines so far fewer negative experiences with the library. We even send a message letting them know that our Customer Care team have renewed their items to give them more time and often get thank you messages back. 2. It gives a huge boost to circulation statistics. While these are officially counted I still take a harder look at first-time checkouts. CONS: 1. The converse of reduced fines from the revenue perspective. Offhand I'd easily say it has cut ours in half from $150K to $75K. But we've also greatly relaxed our policy on lost items and encourage waiving fines whenever reasonable with a broad interpretation of reasonable. My mantra to the board is that fines represent a total count of negative interactions with the public. 2. People get confused when their items are due and if something is on hold and is NOT automatically renewed. This applies in particular to the user set who get a printed receipt and tack it on their refrigerator. Our online/app users don't have this issue. Again, we are generous in waiving fines if someone gets confused. Bottom line, if you can deal with losing the revenue then I think it's a very positive service feature to implement. Clinton-Macomb Public Library The Suburban Library Cooperative shared system libraries all use Automatic Renewals and have had so much positive feedback! We only had a few people complain that they wanted to control their own account and if they wanted to renew items or not. The vast majority liked the convenience of getting an email or text stating that their items were renewed without them having to do anything. Sterling Heights Public Library We are using VERSO at our library and enabled the Automatic Renewal function for our patrons. As long as it worked, it was the best service. Patrons were very pleasantly surprised when they came in ready to pay a fine and we informed them that the system took care of that. The big downfall though is: If a patron has multiple items checked out and receives the email from VERSO that their items were renewed, they of course never went through the whole list to see, if really in effect ALL items were renewed or if some were not renewed due to being on hold or having been renewed already once before. They happily leaned back thinking that they were free of fines, while in reality one or more items were collecting fines, because they did not fall under the Automatic Renewal rules. So, if I came across a case like that I called the patrons to alert them of the fact that not ALL items were renewed. Of course, if I did not catch it by chance and did not call, then patrons were aggrieved and did not want to pay their fine. The decrease in fines was quite dramatic, though. Right now there is a glitch with VERSO and the Automatic Renewal function and we turned it off. So far our patrons don't seem to miss it too much. Tecumseh District Library Pros: great PR, our users LOVE it, it really will boost your circ numbers, environmentally positive as you are cutting down on trips to the library to return a book that is due today. Cons: expect a significant drop in your overdue fines Rochester Hills Public Library I'll give you my reaction to Auto Renewal. On the front lines of the Circulation desk, I love being able to tell people about Auto Renewal. It's a great selling point for customer service. People love auto-renewal especially when it saves them some money when they have forgotten to bring their items back. The relief, when we tell them they don't have any fines for an item because it auto renewed for them, is awesome to behold. Lol We came up with a script for Circulation, so everyone was on the same page telling people about it. The same information is given out at check out. "Your items will renew 2 times as long as no one has a hold on them" We started advertising before we went "Live" to get people in the loop. We had posters up and our name tags had more advertisements for Auto Renewal. We also had fun with it and created a video advertisement. Patrons love it. The notifications work the best when received by email. The email gives the most information. It lists the items that have renewed plus the dates of everything checked out. A text only says something like: "Items have renewed for you at CIDL" In that instance, the patron doesn't know what renewed nor if something didn't renew. We get a few phone calls or emails where people are angry because they get that text and then something turns up overdue because it doesn't renew and they didn't know it. I always tell them that they can switch to email which is better, or log into their account when they receive the text to get the full amount of information. I've had only one patron yelling at me because it's a "flawed system". It's not flawed, she just couldn't figure it out. Older patrons, who don't have emails, still have phone notifications set up. Even though their items renew, they won't get a phone call letting them know. They still call us and ask us to renew items for them and we still check their account over the phone to give them their new due date. There is some confusion about items not renewing if someone has a hold on it. They call or email because they still had renewals left but they didn't get the renewal. Everyone calms down when we remind them about the "Hold clause". Also, some people think their item will just keep renewing forever or they forget to return stuff because it does auto renew. I feel like the benefits of auto renewal outweighs the small irritations. As long as you keep your patrons informed and keep your staff on the same page, you'll do great.

If your institution resides in the state of Michigan and is self-classified as a library, archive, museum, gallery, historical society, research center, or other similar organization, we would like your help. The survey is designed to gather information about the status of your digital preservation program and to determine readiness and interest for engaging broader collaborations across the state and within the surrounding region to further your institution's digital preservation efforts. This is exploratory work. You may not directly benefit from this research; however, we hope that your participation in the study will improve our state's capacity to respond to the preservation needs for ensuring ongoing access to our shared digital heritage.

I?m wondering if some one can share with me how this process will working regarding the recent changes giving libraries and automatic opt out. Our City just posted that they will be holding a public meeting so they haven?t approved the boundary changes. I?m just assuming that they first have to approve the boundary change before any things change? We will get a notice that the boundaries have changed asking us to opt in? Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sheila Sheila M. Bissonnette, MLIS Library Director Cell phone: 989-878-0450 Pere Marquette District Library 185 E.

We are discovering a need in our community to help patrons who have fallen on hard times, and have started gathering resources and information about some of our local agencies so we can better direct needs to solutions. We recently decided to try a new service in which we leave sealed, bagged toiletry items for free in our public restrooms as one form of service, and are looking as to other ways we might be able to help. I am curious as to any services/programs/resources applicable for public institutions that any fellow Michigan libraries have implemented and have experience with, both successes and failures. If anyone has information relevant to these services, I would greatly appreciate feedback! Thank you all for your time and assistance.

You just never know when your community might lose power or face major damage. Speaking of a natural crisis, check out this webinar happening next week to better prepare for serving the youth in your community: Youth Services Programming During A Time of Crisis Thursday, September 6, 2018 2:00 PM EST Youth Services Programming During a Time of Crisis, is a downloadable toolkit* designed to help public libraries in times of crisis plan programming that creates a sense of normalcy for youth and teens in times of disaster or upheaval. This toolkit is the Capstone Project designed and written by Jamie Gilmore, Grace Morris, Erica Trotter, and Alexandria Wardrip through the University of Washington's Information School. It was also featured (8/30/17) in The Conversation's article, "Public Libraries can (literally) Serve as a Shelter from the Storm," by Grace Morris. Grace will be joining LM's Youth Services Coordinator, Cathy Lancaster, to give library staff and administrators a deeper look at why the toolkit was created and how you can use it in your library. This will be an interactive webinar, so come prepared to roll up your sleeves and contribute your thoughts and ideas! Register here - please follow all the "continue" prompts to "complete" your registration. This webinar will be recorded and link shared with registrants if you cannot attend in person. *Please note that a printed copy of the toolkit was mailed to all public library directors in Michigan in a packet of "Resources for Public Libraries," sent by the Library of Michigan in June. Please check with your director for the toolkit if you would like it in print. Plan to follow along with it during the webinar! Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Many libraries in Michigan have benefited from this program in the past and we hope that old friends and new ones join us this year. In the past public and academic libraries participating in Patriot Week Library Initiative received a $100 grant to purchase new books to add the library's American history collection. This year there is a new opportunity to receive $150 grant to help support library programs that promote the ideas set forth in Patriot Week and the U.S. Constitution. If you are interested in applying for either grant opportunities please email me at lvalerio-nowc at patriotweek.org. I will send along the application along with free materials to help your library celebrate Patriot Week this year. If you would like me to come visit your library to speak to your staff or library board about how libraries can become a partner in this Celebration of renewing the American Spirit though books and libraries, please reach out to me. I will be more than happy to come out. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call 586-260-4912. Thanks!

Libraries are often missing direct input from school-aged children regarding books and programming. Our team created a research-based framework to implement Children?s Advisory Boards (CABs) in libraries. In a CAB, a group of children advise the library on collection development and programming. Using best practices that emerged during our eight test CABs, we created a toolkit. The toolkit includes background information on how we developed and implemented CABs in three libraries. Available as both a PDF and as a website, the toolkit features a How-To section, Best Practices, and Takeaways. It also includes a resources page, with citations and links to the research we did when creating this program. * Children's Advisory Boards Toolkit (.pdf) * Children's Advisory Boards Toolkit (website) Our team was made up of three MLIS students at the University of Washington. Mandi and Stacey work in youth services in public libraries, while Kourtni is a teacher-librarian at an elementary school. The three of us met while on a study abroad in the UK looking at diversity in children?s literature through the University of Washington Information School. It was during our studies abroad that we came up with the idea of bringing research being done by students at Cambridge University in the education department to libraries in the United States. We created a research-based framework and implemented three pilot CABs. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/48c4ed99-6372-4ab2-967b-68f7ae30b5a9.jpg] Our group piloted these CABs in three different locations at two different types of libraries: public and elementary school. Based on research of child information behavior and the needs of children in a research setting, we instituted a protocol for our pilot CABs. each location?s CAB operated differently and fit the community in which it was created. Our research-based framework in conducting the pilot CABs was guided by Jen Aggleton?s recommendations that we ?have a balance between allowing the children to participate and not putting undue pressure on them.? During the CABs, children chose diverse mirror and window books. They gave program suggestions, like kids craft fairs or dance parties or inviting astronauts to speak. Children enjoyed having their opinions heard by library professionals. Caregivers enjoyed their children's participation in these groups. 80% of children wanted CABs to continue at their libraries. CABs allow children to become a more integral part of library programming and purchasing decisions. The publishing industry consists of books largely written by adults, published by adults, and ordered by adults. In turn, we librarians put them on our shelves using our knowledge of literacy and trends, cross our fingers, and hope that children like them. To bridge this gap, it is necessary to bring the much needed and oft-overlooked perspectives and opinions of children into the world of books and libraries. We offer our CAB toolkit as a way to more fully invite children?s voices into library programming and collection development. By combining academic research with real world implementation, we created the first multi-site study of Children?s Advisory Boards within librarianship. This allowed us to create a resource for librarians to make their libraries a space where children?s voices echo in laughter and in influence. If you have questions or comments, please use the contact page on the Children Choose website. Report from the President: CSLP Summer Highlights by CSLP President Chrissie McGovern Like many of you, I have had a busy summer of signing patrons up for summer reading, running additional programs, and finding those last minute books for required summer reading. That aside, I had the chance to see how CSLP has played a role in some unique ways. Last winter, CSLP partnered with Scholastic to offer four of our member libraries a stop on the Scholastic Summer Road trip. Winners were announced and presented with a certificate at the Public Library Association Conference in March. One of these libraries, the Transylvania County Library, happened to be in my home state so I used the opportunity to see what exactly happened on a Scholastic Summer Road Trip stop. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/4118db72-b63c-4ef6-9495-f5ec482d62e0.jpg]In mid-July, the Transylvania County Library hosted the entire program outdoors. There were activities for all ages from putting together your own Clifford ears to dressing up as Harry Potter characters for a photo op. If that didn?t interest you, Clifford, Geronimo Stilton and Dog Man were the celebrities on site that day for children to meet. There was a non-stop flow of families from start to finish and with little to no set-up, it was an easy program for Youth Services Supervisor, Erick Brock, to put together. In mid-August, I made a trip to my neighboring state, South Carolina. It started out with meeting our National Summer Reading Champion, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. He was in town for a performance at the Harvin Clarendon Public Library?s summer reading finale. A great time was had by ALL ages. Skidoo really can get you out of your seat to dance! I was excited to meet him and talk about the importance of reading during the summer months, and the role that libraries play. We have truly had a great Summer Reading Champion for our ?music? theme this year.

Usually when we work with an artist, we are sent digital images so they are easy for us to transfer to DVDs and flash drives for member libraries to use. However, Brian painted all of his artwork and mailed it. It certainly was surreal, seeing the original sketches in my email to seeing the final pieces framed and on display for everyone to see. We have given some pieces of artwork as gifts to outgoing board members, but still had a collection of more than twenty pieces. It seemed fitting that they be put on display this past summer. The South Carolina State Library did a fantastic job of framing the artwork and putting together the display. If you are interested in having the artwork on display at your library, contact Luke Kralik at luke.kralik at cslpreads.org to make arrangements.

We are looking to engage our members in more opportunities like the ones I mentioned. Keep your eyes peeled for 2019! You Rock! With summer 2018 coming to a close, CSLP would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their outstanding work!
