My return window has expired to send the extras back. We did sell some but I had too many. It's a great time to add a new copy to your collection following the recent movie. They are brand new, not processed, 30th Anniversary Edition hardcover copies of Jumanji by Chris VanAllsburg. They are currently $12.79 on Amazon and $14.24 on B&T. I would like to sell them for $10 each. If you can add a new copy or two to your collection please let me know! I have nine to sell. If you are interested just let me know your RIDES code and I will send you a copy with an invoice. Thank you for considering! One other thing, if you didn't see this yet, it is very fun.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Linda: Currently it is legal to have a board member remotely participate via telephone, Skype, etc. However, there have been ,in the last few legislative sessions, bills introduced that would prohibit remote attendees from voting. The current bill on this issue is HB 4184 The bills tend to get stalled in the process and not pass, however, it is likely that at some point this idea may become law. The Open Meetings Act currently permits attendance and voting remotely, but is clear on the following caveats: * Members attending remotely must be able to be CLEARLY seen and/or heard (depending on the method of attendance) by ALL participants ? particularly members of the public. * Members attending remotely should repeat their names or employ some other method when speaking in order to ensure that participants in the meeting (especially members of the public) fully understand who is speaking. * All voting must be roll call votes in order to ensure that the public knows how each member votes. Additionally, although there are no express prohibitions on this, it is generally thought that a quorum should not be attained via remote participation, and this practice is strongly discouraged. If your board anticipates frequent remote participation, your board may wish to codify policies within the bylaws and stipulate a limit to the number of members that can attend remotely at any one time. Some library board require prior notice to the board President of members willing to remote in. However, this is in the discretion of the board. Here is a link to an article by the Clark Hill Law Firm on this topic that explains this well. http://www.clarkhill.com/alerts/open-meetings-act-update-informal-meetings-remote-participation Please don?t hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance! I have also compiled an assortment of different Board policies on this issue and would be happy to send t to you if it would be helpful. Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

Hi, recently a trustee asked if it is legal to have board members attend virtually instead of physically. Obviously, this would not excuse physical presence at board meetings all the time, but simply for the times that the board member might be ill but not ill enough to have read the packet and be able to vote; it would be nice for them to leave their germs at home. There would, of course, be other reasons they might not be able to attend physically but, if possible, to attend virtually. Does anyone have an legal opinion on this or have a policy that I can look at? Thanks! Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director, Branch District Library 10 E.

Message-ID: <25df60bd955743b8bb16f8214b10ed5c@gcmdl.org> Good afternoon. We are considering using a "Curbside Courier" or Mail "Collection Box" (similar to UPS or FedEx collection boxes) for our external book return. If you have done the same (either considered or used), I would like to hear your experiences... pros / cons, vendors, etc. Our current book return drops into our building - no fireproofing or separation from the main building (also no weatherproofing, which means I freeze on days like today). Off-list replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your wisdom!

It has been useful training both for our library, public work environment and somewhat informational to overall well-being too. At the same time, it is not optimally as specific to public library work, or as flexible as we may like it. For example, some folks would be interested in an internal option that's is abbreviated....perhaps a couple hours or half a day....and this is not an option with the Mental Health First Aid training. Has anyone worked with an organization or individual who has expertise is this area, and was well received? Thanks for any feedback.

She is looking specifically for checkout cards/pockets and motivational library posters. She shipped the books in September and they're arriving any day. If you have any checkout cards/pockets or posters laying around you'd like to donate they can be sent to me here at the Westland Library, RIDES zv353 or TLN 63 WTLD. Thanks for your support! Jennifer Roth Head of Adult Services Westland Public Library (734) 326-6123 Jennifer, Thanks so much for your help a few months back in finding a gold-mine of a resource: African Library Project, a 220 page document that spells out exactly how to set up sustainable school library in Africa. I have been working with the Warm Hearts Foundation https://warmheartsfoundation.org/ and have been able to collect books, make accession lists and ship books to Malawi (they should be there any day). Half of these will go into a primary school and half into a secondary school. I'm going to help get things organized and facilitate the initiation of a 8-10 member library committee at each school. I still don't know how the books will be organized for "lending", but it might be via the old system of a book pocket and library card with date due in the pocket. I looked online and such materials are available to buy, but I was wondering however whether local libraries that no longer use these supplies might have some lying around that they would be willing to donate. Do you know whether this might be the case and which libraries I should contact? I thought I'd start with you. Also, if your library has any old posters or other "reading promotional materials" to put on walls (maps, periodic table, etc.) that would be helpful. I'm attaching two spreadsheet lists of the books that are being sent. I would appreciate any comment or suggestions that you might have. I plan to try to go through the books with the Malawian teachers so that they can tell me what is appropriate and what is not, in regard to cultural sensitivities and also the level of reading proficiency of the students. Please pray that this is a productive trip and that I can make some long lasting contacts with the schools. The libraries at these two pilot schools will be monitored to see whether this venture is successful and whether this model should be replicated. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Become a Michigan History DayR Judge! We need the help of educators and community members with an interest in history to serve as judges at the Michigan History DayR State Finals competition. The State Finals will be held in Bay City on April 28, 2018, at the Bay City Central High School and will involve a full-day time commitment. The most important quality for a judge is enthusiasm for interacting with students. Judges should have a lively interest in history but do not need a professional history background. HSM provides training for how to judge the History Day entries, and new judges will be placed on teams with seasoned veteran judges to evaluate participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to students. Visit our website for more information The History of Groundhog Day The first Groundhog Day was celebrated on February 2, 1887. Groundhog Day has its roots in the ancient tradition of Candlemas, when candles were blessed and distributed for the winter - the candles represented how long and cold the winter would be. Germans expanded on this concept by selecting an animal-the hedgehog-as a means of predicting weather. Once they came to America, German settlers in Pennsylvania continued the tradition, although they switched from hedgehogs to groundhogs. It's Time to Submit Your U.P. History Award Nominations! Each year, the Historical Society of Michigan presents two awards at the Upper Peninsula History Conference: the Charles Follo Award for individuals and the Superior Award for historical organizations based in the Upper Peninsula. Do you know an individual or historical organization that has done marvelous things to preserve and promote the history of Michigan's Upper Peninsula? For individuals, please consider nominating that person for the Charles Follo Award, which is presented to the individual who has made the most outstanding contribution to the preservation and promotion of U.P. history.

"This year's materials budget averaged just $843,000." A quick review of the most recent state aid statistics would reveal that most public libraries would probably be quite satisfied if they had the ability to spend "just" $843,000 on materials. 2. The percentage of materials budgets allocated to print now stands at 54%. Print book circulation continues to decline, to 55% of total, down from 63% five years ago. eBooks now make up just under 10% of total expenditures and total circulation in libraries, with "media" taking the rest. If nothing else, perhaps a tiny bit of insight as to how closely your library's materials expenditures by % per category, as well as your library's circulation, aligns (or doesn't?) with that of other public libraries. http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2018/02/collection-development/whats-hot-now-materials-survey-2018/ Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please see the compiled list of responses below: 1. My yoga studio has a teacher who does meditation workshops. Her name is Liz Fulsher. The number at the studio is 616-893-5661, and the website for the studio is http://thehammockllc.com 2. If you don't have a holistic health/wellness business in your area, you may want to contact Red Bloom Center for Community Wellness in Mt. Pleasant or Beyond the Path Organics in Weidman/Lake Isabella. 3. Smiling Lotus Yoga rebecca at smilinglotusyoga.com Her name is Rebecca Urick and I know she is willing to travel! 4. We have a meditation program coming up with Heatherleigh Navarre ( heatherleighnavarre at gmail.com, and her LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherleigh-navarre-8aa8249 ) from Ferndale. I'm not sure what she would charge to come up to you but you could reach out and see if she would have other contacts in your area. I also contacted Beaumont Hospital's Center for Mindfulness ( https://legacybhsapps.beaumont.edu/centers-services/ center-for-mindfulness/ ) but they never got back to me. I only emailed, though, you could try calling. 5. We're hosting a meditation program in the fall by Heartfull Meditation. Although they prefer to do a 4 session class they do not charge a fee and have done library programs before The contact info is as follows Bhavani Kodali http://heartfull.life/ 6. I did notice a flyer on our staff bulletin board for a Meditation class offered by Beaumont Hospital. Here's the link to their instructor info: https://legacybhsapps.beaumont.edu/centers-services/ center-for-mindfulness/instructors/ 7. We had volunteers from Heartfulness Meditation do a 6-week class here last winter. Those who attended were very happy with their experience. I think they have volunteers around the country. They have conducted classes in other SE Michigan libraries as well. Here?s their website: http://en.heartfulness.org/ 8. https://www.nearnorthnow.com/news/t-m-bringing-calm-to-the-cloud 9. We have not used their services. However, I did save their card from some time ago: Stephen & Theresa Bangle - 808-214-7158 <(808)%20214-7158>. I am not guaranteeing they are still available. 10. We did not have a library program, but had a program for staff. Our Staff Senate contacted the Great Lakes Buddhist Vihara in Southfield. Venerable Yatinuwara Sankichcha Thero visited for an hour and talked briefly about meditation and led us through guided meditation. 11. We have a meditation program scheduled for early March with a woman named Denise Miller. She is from Kalamazoo, and has done a similar program for us before. Her email address is denisemiller227 at aol.com. We found Denise by contacting a local yoga center. 12. I had instructors from Still Mountain Meditation in Ann Arbor come out to do a 6 week beginning meditation course. It was very in-depth, and some of the participants found it to be more difficult than they anticipated. However, they were excellent instructors, and the course was very much worthwhile for anyone willing to put the work in. You can find contact information on their website: http://www. stillmountainmeditation.org/contact.html I have not personally hosted them, but many libraries have had a group called Heartfulness Meditation out to teach classes. They are free, and I've heard positive feedback! But again, no personal connection. This is their website: http://en.heartfulness.org/ I've also had the Isha Foundation out for a one-off meditation workshop. They are also free, and more widespread than the other two, I believe. Personally, I was not overly impressed with the workshop - they sent a facilitator, but most of the class was taken up by a video she showed. Their guru talks a bit about the organization's philosophy, then leads everyone through a guided meditation. I will say, though while I wasn't impressed, I did hear from several participants that they did enjoy the meditation - they just wanted more! And I do know several libraries who have hosted workshops from this group multiple times. Website: http://www.ishafoundation.org/Ishakriya Thanks again for all the great responses! Have a beautiful day!

In 2016 Michigan's public libraries circulated over 77 million pieces of content, offered over 34 million physical items for checkout and thanks to many of our public libraries participating in digital consortiums, a rapidly rising inventory of digital items that library patrons can access using their mobile devices, eReaders and personal computers. However, libraries are not only about accessing content. During the same timeframe Michiganders were offered 146,000 different enrichment opportunities covering everything from children's story time, author talks and job skill programs to musical events, local history programs, family movie nights, technology petting zoos and much more. We took advantage of this by attending these enrichment opportunities over 3.5 million times. In addition, over 237,000 children and teens took advantage of the many Summer Reading programs offered at their local libraries and put a crimp in their summer slide. We also tapped into our library's technology services by using library computers 9 million times, using our library's free wifi almost 8 million times and tested the knowledge of our local library's staff by asking over 8 million questions. With all this use it's clear, Michigander's love their libraries and continue to use them in many different ways. Brought to you by the MeL Team. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library 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.

This is a 4-week, online, asynchronous (all self-paced) course where participants will earn 12 continuing education (CE) credits and a certificate. The course is designed to provide public library staff with core competencies of providing health information services and the essential skills and knowledge that library staff need to build those competencies. The course content includes: Week 1: Introduction to Consumer Health Week 2: Health Reference Week 3 Health Resources Week 4 Health and Wellness Programming and Outreach Take a look at the link to the course for details on course objectives. https://nnlm.gov/classes/stand-up-for-health The course will begin March 5, 2018, with new content released each Monday. Plan to spend about 3 hours on coursework each week between March 5 and April 1. One additional week will be provided to catch up on assignments if needed. However, because each week involves online discussion with your peers, it is important to keep up with the weekly topics and not attempt to catch up at the end. This opportunity is part of a project to improve the course content and format to meet the unique needs of public library staff. Participants will be asked to take a short pre- and post-course surveys. In addition to receiving a certificate for 12 CE hours from the Medical Library Association (MLA), the NNLM will also sponsor the application fee for a Consumer Health Information Specialization certificate from MLA. You will receive a certificate in the mail as well as a digital badge to use online. If you are interested, please complete this online form. The deadline to apply is February 23, 2018 and you will be contacted on February 26 to let you know if you have been selected for the program.

At the Library of Michigan, we maintain an accessible website that meets a standard known as WCAG 2.0 AA. We run weekly checks with software called SiteImprove to fix bad HTML and broken links, and ensure our PDFs are readable by screen reading software used by visually impaired patrons. It has taken a lot of staff training and requires vigilance but we're proud that we offer a universal design that is accessible to all our visitors. Is your library interested in improving access for all patrons? Check out the webinar below hosted by AMIGOS. Web accessibility is always a topic in libraries. With the recent changes in Section 508, more people are starting to take notice. Section 508 is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/(link is external)) and was last updated in December 2017. If you would like a refresher or just need an overview of the WCAG, this is the place. We will go over conformance levels, how to read the Guidelines, and what applies to you (and what might not). The cost of the webinar is $35. Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants should be able to: * Identify the conformance level needed for their library * Discuss ways to test for accessibility issues Target Audience: Those that create and/or maintain their library's website; those that manage the staff responsible for their library's website. Technical Requirements: Live Online System Requirements(link is external) Session Duration: This course consists of a 1-hour session.

Are you using onedrive and sharing documents or did you setup sharepoint pages and document sharing to keep things organized? Trying to decide how much structure we need at the start or do we allow things to grow organically? I've used sharepoint in the past and know the amount of work it takes to setup things up and it can be useful but also don't want to spend the time if not necessary. So any words of wisdom or caveats would be appreciated. thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E.

This book was a result of Random House contacting her after hearing about her volunteer work during the refugee crisis in Greece and her efforts to unite a lost cat with it's family during their journey to safety. Per the description, "This heartwarming true story about one lost cat's journey to be reunited with his refugee family gently introduces children to a difficult topic and shows how ordinary people can help with compassion and hope." Amy has already done a book talk at the Ypsilanti District Library and has one planned in March at the Chelsea District Library.

The book's multi-faceted characters, clever plotting and compelling details garnered a starred review from Booklist and praise from SLJ, Kirkus and Horn Book.

My name is Shoshanna Wechter and I?m a librarian at the Ypsilanti District Library. I?m sending out this Call for Proposal to solicit presentations for the 2018 Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums track at the 20th Allied Media Conference, which takes place in Detroit, this June. If you have any questions, feel free to email me off list, or to any of the contact emails at the bottom of the Call for Proposals. Hope the weekend is treating you well! Shoshanna Ruth Wechter [cid:image001.jpg at 01D3A27A.BE79A7B0] 2018 Allied Media Conference Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums Libraries, archives, and museums do media-based work that educates, informs, and creates bridges to culture and technology. The Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums (RadLAM) track will address a broad range of media-based organizing themes: envisioning libraries, archives, and museums as centers supporting movements for social equity; providing information and cultural heritage; and serving as places to explore how to use art, media, and technology for social transformation. Coordinators of this track are: Amanda Seppala, Bekezela Mguni, Celeste ?-Re, Irina Rogova, Jessea Young, Laurel Johnson, Linda Nguy?n, Nakenya Lewis-Yarbrough, Porchia Moore, Shoshanna Wechter, Sine Hwang Jensen, Tess Wilson, Veronica Leigh Milliner, Wit Lopez. We welcome proposals for sessions that will be accessible to participants of all professional backgrounds, and interpret the work of libraries, archives, and museums through the lens of media-based organizing. In previous years we have covered a range of subjects such as restorative justice practices in teen librarianship, community archives that center the narratives of people of color, and anti-racist pedagogy for museum education. We are especially interested in sessions that: ? Provide interactive hands-on trainings, workshops, and skillbuilding for attendees; ? Challenge traditional library, archive, and museum structures, institutions, and organizations; ? Consider the role of librarians, archivists, and curators in strengthening the knowledge, culture, and collective memory of communities impacted by social and economic disparity and state-sanctioned violence; ? Address racism, sexism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, and issues of inclusion in libraries, archives, or museums; ? Sessions led by or centered around the voices of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and members of nondominant communities. Beyond the themes outlined above, if the idea of Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums resonates with you, we?d love to hear from you! The deadline to submit proposals is March 16, 2018 at 11:59pm EST. Submit proposals on the Allied Media website form: https://www.alliedmedia.org/news/2018/01/31/propose-session-amc2018 For questions about Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums, or to discuss session ideas with our coordinating team, please contact Veronica Leigh Milliner at vmilliner at gmail.com or Nakenya Yarbrough at nyarbrough03 at gmail.com or Shoshanna Wechter at my.name.is.shoshanna at gmail.com Shoshanna Wechter Reference Librarian Ypsilanti District Library 229 W Michigan Ave Ypsilanti MI 48197 she / her / hers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The extra books are intended for outreach by each branch for "March is Reading Month." In January the Library of Michigan presented a webinar with Jenifer Strauss on storytime ideas for I Got the Rhythm, and we are working to get a recording of that webinar out to you soon. Meanwhile, take the time to check out the 2018 Ready to Read Michigan Programming and Resource Guide online now! The Programming guide is broken down into storytime outlines for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and all ages.

[Connie]I Got the Rhythm author Connie Schofield-Morrison and illustrator Frank Morrison will be traveling throughout Michigan in March 2018. Connie Schofield-Morrison is a mother, author, and entrepreneur. She spent most of her childhood reading and writing poetry, songs, and fairy tales. At the age of 19, Connie married her high school sweetheart Frank Morrison, a professional dancer. In 1999 Frank & Connie started their online art gallery, Morrison Graphics, which opened as a physical gallery in 2005 in the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, GA. Frank painted and illustrated, while Connie continued to take care of the business, their home, and their children, while writing children's books in her spare time. Her debut picture book, I Got The Rhythm, is her first collaboration with husband and illustrator, Frank Morrison. It was a Bank Street College of Education's Best Book of the Year. She is now working on two sequels to I Got the Rhythm for Bloomsbury, and has an upcoming historical biography picture book with Holiday House. [Frank]Growing up in New Jersey, Frank Morrison began developing his own style through 'R.I.P' art scenes that brought him considerable street recognition and local acclaim. But it wasn't until he visited the Louvre Museum in Paris with his dancing group, that he realized painting was his true creative path. His talent and hard work paid off with over 20 illustrated children's books, including the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award winner, Jazzy Miz Mozetta and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor book, Little Melba and her Big Trombone. The Ready to Read Michigan tour schedule is subject to change. If you wish to attend or bring a group to any performance, please contact the library listed directly for details.

View as a web page. [ALA Membership] Colleagues, Today, the White House released its budget proposal for FY 2019. As we anticipated, the proposal includes a significant cut to federal library funding and eliminates the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which provides approximately $183 million in direct funding to libraries through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). The budget proposal also eliminates the $27 million Innovative Approaches to Literacy program administered by the Department of Education. Withholding federal support for libraries means withholding services that foster achievement, develop the workforce and contribute to local economies. ALA members will continue to highlight the value of libraries to our elected leaders in every U.S. congressional district. And we are confident that our congressional leaders will continue to protect the federal programs that invest in our communities. These proposed cuts would impact many libraries across the country. While public and school libraries would see the largest effects, academic libraries with state-funded databases or those that apply for IMLS grants are also implicated. Since each state is required to match one-third of their federal LSTA grants, any cut to LSTA in the FY2019 budget is likely to lead to a cut on the state level. In addition, the cuts to IAL specifically target school library funding, which will make it harder for vulnerable schools to acquire the books, resources, and training needed to provide high-quality literacy programs for their students. Congress will have the final say on budget allocations for these programs in the FY2019 budget. Now is the time to let them know how important federal library funding is to their constituents. Use the ALA Action Center to send your Senators and Representative an email and ask for their public support of library funding throughout the FY2019 appropriations cycle.

I?m finding that as we promote our digital/online services, patrons who are new to these services always ask ?is there a way to register for a library card online??. Our library currently only issues library cards to people who walk into our building. I?m wondering now if there are other things we can do to make registering (and using) digital library services easier? Do any libraries offer a way for people to register for a library card online? If so, how do you verify residency? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Sheila Sheila M.

The bottom line is that the dog (only dogs or miniature horses can be service animals) must be trained to perform a task that helps a patron with their disability. Simply making them feel better is not a valid reason. Also, a note, training certificate, cape, or special leash are not necessary. Many patrons will claim that their animal helps them "feel good" but federal, ADA, law states that emotional support or therapy animals are not service animals. The guards at KPL receive extensive training to determine what is actually a service animal. Staff are made aware of the law when hired. Below is what is the info posted to staff. I encourage you to read it carefully: What is a service animal? Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the person with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. A service animal is not a pet. Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. Where are service animals allowed? Under the ADA, State and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go. How can I tell if it?s a service animal? When it?s not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may only ask these two questions: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? You may not ask about a person?s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the service animal or ask that the service animal demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task. Does the service dog need to be on a leash? Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal?s work or the individual?s disability prevents using these devices. What if someone is allergic to dogs? Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. Can someone be asked to leave if the service animal is being disruptive? Yes, a person with a disability may be asked to remove the service animal from the premises if: The dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it, or The dog is not house broken. When there is a legitimate reason to ask that a service animal be removed, staff must offer the person with the disability the opportunity to obtain goods or services without the animal?s presence. Miniature Horses Revised ADA regulations have a separate provision for miniature horses that have been specifically trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. What are the requirements? A miniature horse generally ranges in height from 24 to 34 inches measured to the shoulders and weighs between 70 and 100 pounds. There are four assessment factors that determine whether a miniature horse can be accommodated in a facility: https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm http://www.michigan.gov/mdcr/0,4613,7-138-74964?,00.html Do not hesitate to contact me if you need clarification.

We have had trouble in the past with patrons bringing in their emotional support animals which have not been trained or housebroken. Our policy does allow the chance for someone to request in writing that their comfort animal/therapy dog/etc be allowed into the library. We have not had anyone write in. What I'd like to stress is that, by law, you may only ask IF it is a service dog, and which tasks the dog performs for the owner. That's it.

The bottom line is that the dog (only dogs or miniature horses can be service animals) must be trained to perform a task that helps a patron with their disability. Simply making them feel better is not a valid reason. Also, a note, training certificate, cape, or special leash are not necessary. Many patrons will claim that their animal helps them "feel good" but federal, ADA, law states that emotional support or therapy animals are not service animals. The guards at KPL receive extensive training to determine what is actually a service animal. Staff are made aware of the law when hired. Below is what is the info posted to staff. I encourage you to read it carefully: What is a service animal? Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the person with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. A service animal is not a pet.

I have some stories I plan to tell for the first four of ten sessions, but suspect they will work better with the other classes I will be doing with hearing or other disabilities but those students are both younger and cognitively are preschoolers. I would gladly share what I am doing with you if it's at all of any help. In the case of hearing impairment, you would need a local interpreter. (I am able to tell in voice and sign, so I chose some stories I already tell.) Your mention of sensory storytime was what caught my own attention as their learning may require something more attuned to different sensory methods than I have experienced so far. Lois -- Lois Sprengnether Keel Website: , Blog: , One tip I recall getting is that picture books are fine but look for some that have real people featured in them instead of cartoon characters. Brenda Dunseth Youth Services Highland Township Public Library A book that ties well to them could be fun - art activities could be paired with books like Radiant Child by Steptoe. This is also a possible opportunity to use picture books with longer text, depending on your audience?s disabilities and attention span ? I?d recommend some of Patricia Polacco?s books, like The Bee Tree or When Lightning Comes in a Jar. If you have BookFlix or Tumblebooks those might be handy as well, particularly if your patrons have tablets handy. I found a couple handy resources online for patrons with disabilities as well: https://www.urbanlibraries.org/sensory-storytime-for-special-needs-adults-innovation-852.php?page_id=175 http://brycedontplay.blogspot.com/search/label/accessibility - I can?t recommend this blog?s accessibility posts highly enough ? great insights into the disabled community. Hope this helps! Thanks, Gillian Streeter Lead Librarian I - Youth Services Norton Shores Branch Muskegon Area District Library I do special needs storytime all year round. Every month at the library and at my son's school. He's handicapped. My choose picture books and themes at a preschool level. I do have special needs adults attend at times. I hope if you collate a list, please share! Have a great day! Deb Deborah Sobczak Canton Public Library Information Services Librarian My hours: M,W,Th 5p-9p; Fri/Sat 9a-6p Juvenile nonfiction can be a helpful resource when working with disabled adults: the content is still of interest, it?s visually stimulating, and of course you have the option of choosing a topic or topics that work with the sensory materials you want to use. *Hope E.

I think Ed will be responding to your email with some of his monthly adult sensory story time favorites, too, and we can pass on our handout to you if we don?t see you in Traverse City on 5/1. Here is a recent response I sent to another librarian: Here are some ideas from my blog posts about our story times for ages 3 - 26 at Wing Lake Developmental Center:http://adaptiveumbrella.blogspot.com/search/label/Outreach . When choosing titles for sensory story times, I find it helpful to go with picture books (either fiction or non-fiction) that are interactive, rhythmic, and/or repetitive. (Note: I have found that incorporating interactive/sensory experiences is more important than a book that rhymes.) With an older audience, also try to go with a book that has age respectful illustrations or photographs. Here are a few of my recent favorites: Sayre, April Pulley (love her books!!) Raindrops Roll, Best in Snow, Rah Rah Radishes, Full of Fall Hale, Christy Dreaming Up: a Celebration of Building Schofield-Morrison, Connie I Got the Rhythm Ward, Jennifer What Will Grow? Matheson, Christie Tap the Magic Tree, Plant the Tiny Seed, Touch the Brightest Star Messner, Kate Over and Under the Pond, Over and Under the Snow Miyakoshi, Akiko The Way Home in the Night Wenzel, Brendan They All Saw a Cat Henkes, Kevin Birds Frazier, Craig Lots of Dots Portis, Antoinette Not a Box Glad to hear you are offering this program at your library! Best, Jen Jen Taggart Assistant Department Head, Youth Services Bloomfield Township Public Library 1099 Lone Pine Road Bloomfield Township, MI 48302 (248)642-5800 <(248)%20642-5800> www.btpl.org Hi Cindi, We have offered the program monthly here at BTPL for over two years now and sometimes the hardest part is picking a theme. Even though we work with adults, we try to choose age-respectful books from the youth department. We have explored holidays using books like ?Valentine?s Day Is??, ?St. Patrick?s Day Is??, and ?Halloween Is?? (all by Gail Gibbons). We have also celebrated Dr. Seuss? birthday one March using ?Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?? and ?My Many Colored Days? both of which explore colors (and the second explores emotions as well), we played a game of Dr. Seuss Bingo using the covers of the books in lieu of numbers. ?Arctic White? by: Danna Smith is another cool book which tells the story of a young girl seeing the northern lights for the first time. We also used oil pastels and crayons to draw our own northern lights. ?Plant the Tiny Seed? by Christie Matheson and ?The Very Hungry Caterpillar are good to explore the theme of things that grow, where you can end by having the patrons plant their own sunflower or other seeds to take home. ?Have You Heard the Nesting Bird?? by: Rita Gray and ?Mama Built a Little Nest? by: Jennifer Ward are good to present a program on birds also. This year, we are visiting a different country each month. Instead of books though we are using facts and pictures of well-known landmarks, events, and people from each. We are also listening to music from each country and trying to find a craft project unique to the area, as crafts tend to be the biggest hit of the program. The last thing is that I tend to use the books more as a guide for discussion topics instead of straight reading and description, Good luck with your first program and let us know if you have more questions. Best, Ed Niemchak Adult Services Librarian Bloomfield Township Public Library 1099 Lone Pine Road Bloomfield Township, MI 48302 (248)642-5800 <(248)%20642-5800> (ext. 140) niemchae at btpl.org Cindi L.

February is Career and Technical Education Month in Michigan www.michigan.gov/octe -----Original Message----- From: michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King via Michlib-l Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2018 3:47 PM To: WAY Carol DeBoer ; Rudy Wright ; michlib-l at mcls.org Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Service animals and emotional support animals I have researched this topic and even talked to the Federal ADA Office in DC. The bottom line is that the dog (only dogs or miniature horses can be service animals) must be trained to perform a task that helps a patron with their disability. Simply making them feel better is not a valid reason. Also, a note, training certificate, cape, or special leash are not necessary. Many patrons will claim that their animal helps them "feel good" but federal, ADA, law states that emotional support or therapy animals are not service animals. The guards at KPL receive extensive training to determine what is actually a service animal. Staff are made aware of the law when hired. Below is what is the info posted to staff. I encourage you to read it carefully: What is a service animal? Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the person with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. A service animal is not a pet. Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. Where are service animals allowed? Under the ADA, State and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go. How can I tell if it?s a service animal? When it?s not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may only ask these two questions: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? You may not ask about a person?s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the service animal or ask that the service animal demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task. Does the service dog need to be on a leash? Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal?s work or the individual?s disability prevents using these devices. What if someone is allergic to dogs? Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. Can someone be asked to leave if the service animal is being disruptive? Yes, a person with a disability may be asked to remove the service animal from the premises if: The dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it, or The dog is not house broken. When there is a legitimate reason to ask that a service animal be removed, staff must offer the person with the disability the opportunity to obtain goods or services without the animal?s presence. Miniature Horses Revised ADA regulations have a separate provision for miniature horses that have been specifically trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. What are the requirements? A miniature horse generally ranges in height from 24 to 34 inches measured to the shoulders and weighs between 70 and 100 pounds. There are four assessment factors that determine whether a miniature horse can be accommodated in a facility: https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm http://www.michigan.gov/mdcr/0,4613,7-138-74964?,00.html Do not hesitate to contact me if you need clarification.

We have the policy that if they have a written statement from their doctor then the animal may be allowed in the building. Service animals with the proper vests are no problem. Otherwise it is a "no pets allowed" rule. Hope this helps. Carol DeBoer Circulation Supervisor Henika District Library 149 S.

Designed for public library use in storytimes and for outreach to further develop early literacy skills in the young child, RTRM is meant to model to parents and caregivers the five practices of early literacy from the Public Library Association's Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) initiative: talk, read, play, sing, write. This program is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan, and supported by the Consumers Energy Foundation and Library of Michigan Foundation. As your library reaches out to area early childhood centers, Great Starts, Head Starts, young 5's, etc., for "March is Reading Month," please remember that your location received those extra I Got the Rhythm Books to hand-out to your community and the programming guide is to help you model ECRR practices to caregivers and families. In April we are asking you complete this survey on how you used the books in your library community. Questions listed in the survey include number of in-house programs around Ready to Read Michigan, outreach events/readings you offered for RTRM, how many attendees total for RTRM events, and the percentage of young children (ages 0-5) attended. Please keep track of those to help provide the Library of Michigan feedback. The survey also asks for additional feed back on the program as a whole, as we look towards shaping this new RTRM program for 2019, and for any quotes or stories you hear at the library regarding the program.

Message-ID: February 21 @ 8:00PM Register today for this free 1-hour webinar. A webinar hosted in collaboration with ARSL on how small or rural libraries can provide services to community members experiencing homelessness, especially with limited access to resources, like a social worker. Homelessness means having no predictable and safe place to sleep. Libraries in rural and small communities are often a source of information and daytime shelter for individuals facing homelessness or housing insecurity. In an already busy library with limited resources, staff may be challenged to respond to the needs of these patrons and to cope with compassion fatigue. This webinar will provide practical insights on providing services to people who don't have stable housing. Learn how to create an environment that feels welcoming, informative and supportive, including ideas for reducing policy barriers. Learn how to host conversations that explore public perceptions, help to debunk myths around homelessness, and strengthen community ties. This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.

During those years I?ve had the privilege of working with some amazingly talented and dedicated colleagues at LM. I am grateful for having had them in my professional life as I have learned a lot and grown as a result. I have also had the honor of working with and getting to know so many talented and dedicated library professionals from all walks of Michigan?s library community. I leave my position?probably the best job I?ve had in my whole career?knowing that I?ve raised awareness for the Library of Michigan and its flagship program, and how the Michigan eLibrary does indeed serve the information needs of those with whom you work?your patrons, students, teachers and parents. MeL is, as I?ve enjoyed saying over the years, your tax dollars at work?in a very good way! I?ve been asked if I?m ?retiring? and let me just say that I am retiring from State service, but I?m planning to continue to work in our profession?just in the Detroit Metro area where I can work with no longer than a half hour commute!? I think that I will enjoy getting back to my roots ? My last day in Lansing will be March 2nd. March is turning out to be a big month for me actually. Not only will I be starting a new chapter professionally, but I will also be marrying the man who has always been meant for me on March 17th! I wish you all the very best and thank you for your support and friendship these past 10 years! With warm regards, Deb Brought to you by the MeL Team.

We purchased 4 Brother sewing machines XM1010 (product code 888-X73) from Amazon and 1 inexpensive Singer Start model. We also have 3 different ones that were donated to the library. The Brother machines work really well. It's very simple to use and the instructions include a CD/DVD. We started out with an inexpensive Singer, and I personally do not think it is a good fit for us. It seems like it has lots of issues. We also purchased some really cool sewing bags (Kemanner sewing machine carrying case in several different vibrant colors) from Amazon to keep them clean, and makes transporting them a lot easier. The Mid-Michigan Library League has 2 sewing machines and 2 accessory boxes to borrow as well. We have 22 children signed up already, and of course everyone wants their own machine. We have to double up until we can possibly get a few more donated machines. We currently have 7 adults signed up and expect many more. We purchased all of the accessories from Amazon. You can get some pretty good deals from them. Our kits contain the following items: Seam rippers Measuring tapes Pin cushions Straight pins with the ball on top Thread Scissors Bobbins Machine needles Needle threaders (plastic) Grease pencils Hand sewing needles Safety pins Thimbles We started out making simple projects like Halloween bags, pillows, hand warmers, and placemats. Then we went to a little more advanced projects like Holiday stockings and fleece hats. We have not used any patterns from a fabric store yet. We simply made our own. We are now starting a small quilt with 8x8 squares. We will be transferring a photo onto white fabric and this will be in the center of their quilt. This particular project will take more than one class to finish. If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to call me at 231-723-2519 and ask for Carol. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In Michigan, one out of every five children faces food insecurity. Previously, partners around the state have made progress making sure more children have access to healthy free meals during the summer through the Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Food Service Program. What? The symposium will provide us a way to strengthen relationships, align resources and strategize about how we can reach more children with the Summer Food Service Program. Everyone is welcome to share ideas for feeding children and community resources that can help fuel feeding the whole child the whole year. You are invited to share your experiences and expertise in the Summer Food Service Program. The Michigan Department of Education would like you to share your ideas and best practices by bringing a buddy! A buddy may be: * Community and neighborhood leaders, city or county government officials * Representatives from schools -interested principals, teachers, or nutrition staff * Leaders from organizations that work with after school or summer programs * Sponsors who want to grow their Summer Food Service Program * Community members wanting to learn how to influence where meals are served How Can I Join? * Please register in Eventbrite by Friday March 2nd. * For questions, please call 517-373-3347. * Agenda attached. * Lunch will be provided.

Designed for public library use in storytimes and for outreach to further develop early literacy skills in the young child, RTRM is meant to model to parents and caregivers the five practices of early literacy from the Public Library Association's Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) initiative: talk, read, play, sing, write. This program is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan, and supported by the Consumers Energy Foundation and Library of Michigan Foundation. As your library reaches out to area early childhood centers, Great Starts, Head Starts, young 5's, etc., for "March is Reading Month," please remember that your location received those extra I Got the Rhythm Books to hand-out to your community and the programming guide is to help you model ECRR practices to caregivers and families. In April we are asking you complete this survey on how you used the books in your library community. Questions listed in the survey include number of in-house programs around Ready to Read Michigan, outreach events/readings you offered for RTRM, how many attendees total for RTRM events, and the percentage of young children (ages 0-5) attended. Please keep track of those to help provide the Library of Michigan feedback. The survey also asks for additional feed back on the program as a whole, as we look towards shaping this new RTRM program for 2019, and for any quotes or stories you hear at the library regarding the program. Have a great "March is Reading Month" with Ready to Read Michigan!!! Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Become a Michigan History DayR Judge! We need the help of educators and community members with an interest in history to serve as judges at the Michigan History DayR State Finals competition. The State Finals will be held in Bay City on April 28, 2018, at the Bay City Central High School and will involve a full-day time commitment. The most important quality for a judge is enthusiasm for interacting with students. Judges should have a lively interest in history but do not need a professional history background. HSM provides training for how to judge the History Day entries, and new judges will be placed on teams with seasoned veteran judges to evaluate participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to students. Visit our website for more information Shaker Lemon Pie Recipe The Shaker religious sect owned one farm in Michigan, near the village of Berrien Springs. Lemon pie was a favorite Shaker dessert recipe and, like everything Shaker, was simple: Ingredients: -two lemons -two eggs -two cups of sugar. Directions: Slice the lemons paper thin and macerate them overnight in the sugar. Beat the eggs, stir them into the lemon mixture, and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees in a double crust pie shell.

The decision echoes the FY 2018 proposal, which also eliminated the grant-making agency and its programs. The administration?s budget also calls for elimination and/or severe cuts to many other federal programs that support libraries, including Innovative Approaches to Literacy, a Department of Education program. In response, American Library Association (ALA) President Jim Neal has issued a statement. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/02/white-house-budget-proposal-continues-miscalculate-value-libraries ALA president welcomes FY2018 federal budget agreement, applauds library advocates ALA President Jim Neal has issued a statement regarding Congress passing and the president signing a FY2018 budget deal that will likely include at least level funding for federal library programs at FY2017 levels. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/02/ala-president-welcomes-fy2018-federal-budget-agreement-applauds-library Long-time RUSA member, Ed Garcia, elected to ALA Executive Board The Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) is pleased to announce that the long-time RUSA member and current RUSA director-at-Large has been elected to the ALA Executive Board.

If approved by the membership, personal member dues in September 2018 would be adjusted between $1 and $5, depending upon the membership type. Members will also vote on a mechanism for adjusting dues between September 2019 and 2022. For this the ALA Executive Board would review personal member dues annually in consideration of a dues adjustment not to exceed the percentage change in the national average Consumer Price Index (CPI). Any increase proposed above the CPI would be subject to a vote of personal members, and any subsequent dues adjustment after 2022 would require approval by the ALA Executive Board, Council, and a vote of ALA personal members. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/02/ala-council-approves-dues-adjustment-proposal American Library Association announces 2018 youth media award winners The American Library Association (ALA) has announced the top books, video and audio books for children and young adults?including the Caldecott, Coretta Scott King, Newbery and Printz awards?at its Midwinter Meeting in Denver, Colorado. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/02/american-library-association-announces-2018-youth-media-award-winners 'Manhattan Beach,' 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me,' receive 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction The American Library Association (ALA) selected ?Manhattan Beach,? by Jennifer Egan, published by Scribner, as the winner of the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and ?You Don't Have to Say You Love Me: A Memoir,? by Sherman Alexie, published by Little, Brown & Co, a division of Hachette Book Group, as the winner of the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction.

We were hoping to hold an event featuring our local brewery in a "How to home brew" kind of program, and to offer tasting afterwards. I called the MLCC as instructed in the most recent batch of communications on the list serve about the legalities of offering alcohol (thanks so much for that information, btw). In that phone call I was gob-smacked to be told that breweries are absolutely excluded from any type of tasting I could hold. In addition, I could not offer gift certificates as a door prize (and there went my "plan B"). The brewery is fine with presenting here without any beer involved but... shucks! My questions to you: Has anyone found any way around this prohibition (an off-sight event perhaps, or an entirely different event that still highlighted a brewpub), and how did that work for you? Any suggestions/information will be welcome! Please message me off list (especially if it involves confession ?).

We circulate our "Things" for 2 weeks. We have a "things" item type. It is good to either offer directions with the items or at least have a link to the directions from your website. Here's our page for the Energy Meter. http://www.cadl.org/find-books-and-more/lot-heading/browse/energy-meter/ We actually toured Ann Arbor's collection and found out they use Ape cases for both of these. We had used Pelican cases for the few we had. As we added more to the collection, we bought Ape cases instead, they are much more affordable.

Which I classed in the very common category of Carnegie with a shoebox stuck to it. So he may be gone, but he will always be one of my very positive memories.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 is much more of a mess because it retroactively extended a bunch of tax credits that had expired at the end of 2016 to expire in December 2017. I have no idea if this affects forms or just instructions and I'm guessing the IRS is still trying to figure that out as well. Here is a small list of some of the changes: https://www.accountingtoday.com/opinion/tax-aspects-of-the-bipartisan-budget-act-of-2018 I know some people with solar projects that are waiting to redo their taxes because of it. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the IRS re-issues.

I called our Representative's office and was told the tax law changes only affect the 2018 W-4 for withholding. The staffer said the forms for filing 2017 taxes are not affected. We had already been giving out forms for about a month when we got the letter (Notice 1437) yesterday, and had no way of contacting people who had already picked up forms. We're leaving our forms out, but will be considering whether we continue to distribute printed forms in future years. If any of this comes back to haunt us, we'll definitely default to providing access to and assistance with the IRS web site.

Now in its 60th year, the Michigan in Perspective conference, hosted by the Historical Society of Michigan, will take place at the Wyndham Garden in Sterling Heights, Michigan, on March 23 and 24, 2018. The largest of the Society's three conferences, the Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference offers a diverse view of Michigan's past and is open to anyone interested in state or regional history. The upcoming conference offers keynote sessions from author Hendrik Meijer of Meijer Inc. speaking on Senator Arthur Vandenberg; WXYZ/WMYD-TV 7/20 Detroit's Chuck Stokes sharing about his past interviews and media preservation; commentator and columnist Jack Lessenberry and Judge Avern Cohn talking about the judge's life and career; and author Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X, on her father's ties to Michigan. Attendees also have the opportunity to choose from 25 breakout sessions that address local and statewide history, including "From POW to Punster: The Story of Sonny Eliot," "Invading Russia: Michigan's Polar Bears," "It Happened Here Too: Slavery in Detroit," "The Salty Mitten: Mining for White Gold" and "The Odyssey of Waukazoo's Band: A Fight to Stay Home." In addition, participants can attend the Friday Reception featuring the musical ensemble "Michigan Strings" and the Saturday Gala that will focus on the history of Macomb County, which is celebrating its bicentennial year. The full lineup can be found in the conference's brochure. Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference is held annually in the Wayne/Oakland/Macomb tri-county area. This year's lead sponsors are The Meijer Foundation, Detroit Historical Society, Michigan Humanities Council, Burton Historical Collection, and J. Ferrantino Charitable Foundation, along with the Algonquin Club of Detroit & Windsor, Bentley Historical Library, Michigan State University Press, University of Michigan Press, Walter P. Reuther Library, Wayne State University Press and William L. Clements Library. More information on the conference can be found on the Historical Society of Michigan's website: www.hsmichigan.org. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

I have a few questions for those libraries that do charge an out-of-district fee, particularly if such a fee was instituted during your tenure at the library. 1) How much do you charge, and how did you arrive at that number? 2) How many out-of-district cards do you issue per year? 3) Does your year begin when the patron pays the fee, or is it based on the calendar year? Do you pro-rate the fee if someone joins partway through the year? 4) Do you feel that you are losing patrons and/or not providing necessary service to everyone? 5) If these fees were instituted during your tenure, can you tell me how patrons reacted to the new fees? 6) Do you have any sort of operational millage?

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 is much more of a mess because it retroactively extended a bunch of tax credits that had expired at the end of 2016 to expire in December 2017. I have no idea if this affects forms or just instructions and I'm guessing the IRS is still trying to figure that out as well. Here is a small list of some of the changes: [ https://www.accountingtoday.com/opinion/tax-aspects-of-the-bipartisan-budget-act-of-2018 | https://www.accountingtoday.com/opinion/tax-aspects-of-the-bipartisan-budget-act-of-2018 ] I know some people with solar projects that are waiting to redo their taxes because of it.

We had already been giving out forms for about a month when we got the letter (Notice 1437) yesterday, and had no way of contacting people who had already picked up forms.

[https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ntl-rock-your-world.jpg]by the National Teen Lock-in Committee What is NTL? The National Teen Lock-ln began in 2011, sparked by the efforts of Jennifer Lawson of the San Diego County Library and her fellow teen services librarians in California. Since its inception, NTL has gone national with the participation of over 70 libraries from across North America in 2017. As a collective, NTL participants can leverage author visits and other resources that are out of reach for many individual libraries. Since 2011, teens at participating libraries have had the opportunity to chat virtually with best-selling YA authors including: Nicola Yoon, Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, Cecil Castellucci, Claudia Gray, Andrew Smith and many more. Participation in NTL is free for individual libraries and the organization of the event is completely volunteer driven. Planners are youth and teen services librarians and library paraprofessionals who serve on NTL committees in addition to their normal library duties, working to bring teens across the country together virtually with one another and with their favorite authors, to facilitate interactive gaming and competitions, and to promote library services to our teen patrons. ln addition to the author chats, NTL committees provide interactive challenges such as Online Gaming (i.e. Minecraft, Roblox), 3D Design Challenges, Escape Rooms, Photo Scavenger Hunts and Minute-to-Win-it Challenges and give participants the chance to virtually meet with teens from other libraries through Online Connections. We share craft ideas, recipes, and science experiments. Participation in NTL connects you with a community of energetic and enthusiastic library professionals working toward the same goal ? providing a unique and positive experience to teen patrons. Co-chair Dawn Iocca holds an overnight Lock-In every year, from 8pm to 8am. She has held the overnight Lock-In at the Jackson District Library ? Spring Arbor Branch for the past four years. It is an amazing event for teens that lasts 12 hours! It is their tradition to start off the evening with a water balloon fight in the local park behind the library. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ntl1.jpg](Kids pictured above having their traditional water balloon fight to kick off NTL at the Spring Arbor Branch of the Jackson District Library) Then they go in and eat pizza, play Wii games, participate in author chats, have a Henna artist, play on computers with Minecraft or other games, Tinkercad for 3D Design, crafts, snacks, drinks, Nerf wars, dance contests at 3 in the morning, minute to win it challenge, photo scavenger hunt, board games, connections with other libraries having a NTL, trivia games, art on t-shirts, food, did she mention food, food and more food. She has 25 kids attend each year, which is the maximum number of attendees her branch can hold with the addition of 8 chaperones. They have a GREAT time every year! The kids do not ever get bored, some even READ! They have too many activities for them to get bored! They look forward to spending the night at the library with their friends and having so much to do while attending. They are already planning their fun filled event for this July! [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ntl2.jpg](Teens pictured above chatting with Teens from an out of state library taking advantage of NTL?s ?Online Connections?) The National Teen Lock-In traditionally holds their event on the last Friday of July. Many libraries hold a Teen Lock-in as a finale event and reward for teens participating in the Summer Reading Program. This year the Lock-in will be held on Friday, July 27th with the theme ?Rock Your World?. There is no requirement stating what time to hold Lock-in programming on July 27th, libraries do not even have to stay open after hours to hold an event. The planning committees are currently underway and working on the Wiki that is created for the event each year. Registration for NTL will open up on March 19th 2018. If you would like to contact NTL, please email nationalteenlockin at gmail.com, for volunteer opportunities as well as information on our upcoming event. Committee members needed: Help improve the quality of health programming at public libraries! Are you, or a librarian you know, passionate about creating health related programming for their library? If so, we need your help! CSLP is partnering with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) to produce a unique, space themed, health programming addendum to the 2019 program manual. NNLM is dedicating two of their staff to this project, with the hopes of increasing the role public libraries play in sharing health related information within their communities. To make sure this project is a success, we will be creating an Ad Hoc committee to support our colleagues at the NNLM. The committee will meet through video conferencing once a month, and be active from March through August. The committee?s charge is as follows: The NNLM Health Programming Manual Addendum Ad Hoc Committee is charged with assisting with coordination for development of the NNLM Health Programming Manual Addendum. The Ad Hoc Committee is responsible for contributing content to the Addendum as well as vetting, testing, revising and improving the ideas that are submitted. The Ad Hoc Committee works closely with representatives from the NNLM to create an organized, creative and useful manual.

As any teacher will tell you, getting children to write can be a difficult challenge. There are many different skills to master, and there is always the prickly issue of capturing their interest. This is why Jake Marcionette?s story is so wonderful. Encourage to write on a daily basis since he was very young, Jake is the youngest author to ever appear on the New York Time?s Best Sellers list with his semi-autobiographical book ?Just Jake?. Taking it upon himself to find an agent and have his book published, Jake is truly an inspiration to both aspiring and reluctant young writers. ?I think I?m a pretty good writer and I knew I had a message to tell people.? If there a young reader (or writer) making a big difference in your state, please let us know! We would love to share these inspirational stories with the entire CSLP membership!

Storytelling with Puppets (5 weeks, April 2 - May 4, 2018, 2.2 CEUs) Instructor: Steven Engelfried, Youth Services Librarian, Wilsonville Public Library >From "Ask Mister Bear" to Elephant and Piggie, telling stories with puppets can bring new levels of creativity and excitement to storytimes and school presentations.

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

On Sunday at the Central Michigan Seed Swap in Midland there will be a presentation on starting a seed library, as well as many other presentations. Free seeds will be available to everyone, but if you are starting a seed library you can get extra seeds to get you going. For more information visit the swap's website http://www.smallhousefarm.com/seedswap/ Also check their Facebook page and message them if you want the starter pack. https://www.facebook.com/CentralMichiganSeedSwap/ Another helpful Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MISeedLibrary/ and the Community Seed Resource Program group https://www.facebook.com/groups/673731699448199/ As for legalities, those have largely been put to rest. Most states have agreed to exempt seed libraries from any rules that apply to companies who sell seeds. Michigan is a very seed library-friendly state.

Course Overview: We frequently tell teenagers that they are the future. It?s not true. Teens can be leaders in their communities and schools today. There are examples across the country of young people changing the world with their bravery and passion. Teens want to make a difference and be advocates for the things they care about. Librarians working with young people are in a unique position to help them have an impact now - on their communities and schools - as well as develop the skills, confidence and approaches that will enable them to advocate throughout their lives. [Learn More] When you attend this interactive online course, you?ll learn from experienced leaders how to: * Extend your outreach to young people and help them engage in advocacy * Collaborate with teens to develop social justice programs in both the library and the community * Partner with local and national organizations to build teen-centric programs * Identify resources that will help you establish teen programs that are built around civic engagement * Utilize best practices to create and sustain lifelong library users, advocates, and leaders In addition to the live speaker sessions, you?ll work in small groups with facilitators experienced in producing compelling teen programming to complete assignments, share resources, and engage in active discussion boards that will ignite your thinking and fuel your efforts at your library. ________________________________ EARLY-BIRD DISCOUNT Register by Friday, March 23 to SAVE 20% on the registration fee. ________________________________ Presenters: (More to be announced in the coming weeks) [Angel Tucker] Angel Tucker Youth Services Manager, Johnson County Public Library (KS) [Deborah Takahashi] Deborah Takahashi Librarian, Pasadena Public Library (CA) [Erin Hoopes] Erin Hoopes Library Supervisor, Free Library of Philadelphia [Izabel Gronski] Izabel Gronski Young Adult Librarian, Oak Lawn Public Library (IL) [Jane Gov] Jane Gov Youth Services Librarian, Pasadena Public Library (CA) [Regina Townsend] Regina M.

You?ll come away with practical ideas for stoking the passions of your teen patrons rooted in their authentic interests and aspirations to influence change. Teen-Driven Social Justice and Community Programs How do you channel young people?s passions and interests to implement a teen-driven campaign that will benefit not only the library, but also the community at large? In this session you?ll gain resources, best practices and ideas on how to engage young adults in programs and events that can inspire them to make a lasting and impacting change on society.

Closing Keynote: How to Foster Teen Activism and Create Leaders of Today Teens are often told that they are the future, but it?s becoming increasingly clear that they aren?t just the future, but the now. How can we support teens in their civic involvement and encourage them to access the power of their voices today? In this closing session of our workshop, you?ll learn how to help teens tap into their potential to change the world around them, starting now.

Thanks, everyone. > Hi, Loretta: Cathy Seblonka, from the Peter White Library in Marquette, Michigan, asked me if I would tell you about how we set up our seed library (housed at Peter White). Because I'm so grateful to Cathy's efforts to open the door for a seed library to be started at PWPL, I am very happy to lend a hand to you. I'll start by seeing if I can quickly answer some of the questions you submitted. My responses in *blue* : Do you have patron's fill out forms to take and give seeds? *Yes, we have a "Check-out" form that's kept in a binder. See attached photo. * *After the patron selects their seeds (limit of 5 varieties), the form is filled out and placed in the back of the binder. Periodically, we check for forms and then enter the patron's info. into our gmail contacts list (which works as sort of a quasi database).* Do you worry about non-gmo vs gmo, heirloom or organic seeds, or do your donors just bring in generic seeds to share? *Our seed library isn't even a year old, so we're doing things somewhat "on the fly", but at this point, we provide the seeds from * *sources that we trust. Sources include our local seed co-op and seeds donated to us by seed companies and seed-related organizations. We also try to use leftover seeds from our seed swaps, again, seeds we trust; there are always lots of seeds left over from a seed swap and donating them to the seed library helps keep the seed library stocked.* Do you have "not responsible for...." notices with the seeds? *No, not yet. As I mentioned, we're figuring things out as we go. I should mention that the way our process works is a patron can select seeds with the understanding that they are making a commitment to keeping some of the plants they grow for seed harvesting at the end of the season and they are expected to return some of the seeds from those plants at our fall seed swap. I think our biggest challenge is getting people to return seeds. We've got over 50 patrons since last March and only a couple patrons actually returned seeds this past fall.* *I'm happy to answer more questions, Loretta. I'll stop here and wait for you to respond. I will close by saying that it wasn't too long ago that the idea of starting a seed library seemed rather daunting. But with a small group of dedicated stakeholders, it's been fun and rewarding ? and not that difficult (so far ? ).* *I look forward to hearing from you, Loretta.* Greetings, Everyone ! If you're wondering how we went from a *Seed Co-op* to a *Seed Guild**,* you can get up to speed quickly by clicking here < https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kPg9LNF6lxhQHQFD_MuWZBKqpLckFUdAnGFJCmF0yCc/edit?usp=sharing >. Otherwise, the following will give you a glimpse of what's going on with the TMC Seed Guild. *Seed Guild and/or Seed Library ?* While seed guilds are less prominent than seed libraries, some communities do have both. Marquette, as some of you know, has the Queen City Seed Library . So, you might be wondering to yourself "why do we need a seed guild *and* a seed library?" A seed library provides seeds so people can start a garden. It also introduces 'seed patrons' to the practice of saving seeds so the seed library can be replenished and continue the seed lending process. When the lending-growing-saving-returning process works ? the seed library is able to fulfill its mission. A seed guild, on the other hand, uses its resources to identify, discover, recover and propagate seeds that are specifically adapted to the regional foodshed of where the seed guild resides. To do this a seed guild engages experienced gardeners, farmers and other individuals who ? *and this is key* ? understand the value of preserving seeds that are adapted to the very place people live. Locally adapted seeds can always be counted on to survive and thrive ? which is not always the case with seeds that come from somewhere else. Why are locally adapted seeds so important? Legendary seed saver, Sara McCamant, states it this way: *To make a stronger local food system, **we need to continually work at **bringing more local seed **into that food * *system. **Sara McCamant, Seed Savers Exchange < http://blog.seedsavers.org/blog/the-revolutionary-work-of-sara-mccamantand-seed-savers-exchange >* A seed guild, therefore, has a mission. The mission of the Transition Marquette Seed Guild reads like this: *The Seed Guild is to be a conservator of seeds specific to our regional foodshed and will foster the growing out and sharing of those seeds with the community.* We have a document which explains how the Seed Guild will fulfill its mission and we encourage you to take a few minutes to read it by clicking here < https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AnSS_yAPn_2O02PNQBvcVTJcRpiWYgOpT9TJGvoPYtU/edit?usp=sharing >. *Our question is:* *Are you interested in playing a role * *in this adventure **to help **the Seed Guild * *get started ?* Click here to send us an e-mail.

There are all kinds of resources for creating a seed library and all kinds of librarians that you can ask questions of. Monsanto is only involved if you were going to be using GMO seeds, but trust me, you aren?t. Unless you want to help people grow roundup ready wheat on a commercial scale [image: ?]. We are in the 2nd year of our seed library and had our kickoff Monday of this week. If you can?t find what you are looking for on the facebook page let me know. We would love to help you get started. https://www.facebook.com/groups/368991503478080/ Miriam Andrus, Director Big Rapids Community Library 426 S.

The library did run into legal issues, but was able to resolve them and the seed library still a current offering. I wasn't a part of that project, but they have a good website with FAQs. You can also do a news search for Duluth seed library - the legal issues were covered quite a bit by the local & state press. http://www.duluthlibrary.org/adults/duluth-seed-library/ Nellie [image: https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif] *LVW Mary Russell** >* 10:14 AM (23 hours ago) [image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] *[image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif]* *[image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif]* to me [image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] Cindi, We started one here 3 years ago and it is a big hit! Very easy to get going and inexpensive. I have done several presentations on starting one so I can answer any questions you have. I will also be doing a presentation during Rural Library Conference this year. As far as legal goes, nothing happening or will happen in our State. I started an FB group for seed libraries to exchange ideas. You can join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/368991503478080/ Our website tells a bit about ours: http://tamaracklibrary.org/seed- library/ Good luck!

Click on 'about us'. Perhaps you have a local or nearby seed company that you could partner with, rather than compete with to avoid a legal challenge. It might help for community outreach or support. I am brainstorming as I type, so forgive me if this is bogging down your project. I just thought of contacting MSU extension. They have a seed swap this Sunday in Midland http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/celebrated_the_annual_central_michigan_seed_swap I searched their site for seed libraries, and they work with school libraries to create them. It seems they could branch to a public library. http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/michigan_school_gardens_in_winter Click on the link for the Seed Savers PDF near the end of the article, just above the Related Events green bar. The PDF gives instructions for setting up a community seed bank. The NPR story also has links to stories about seed label laws. However, I think sometimes there are loopholes when items are not sold, but given. Maybe there is some kind of co-operative, non-profit, or educational exemption. Or possibly, they can be labelled properly to comply. Where there is a will, there is a way, right? I hope this story helps you to find your answer. As for Monsanto, I have heard that they are controlling about their seeds, but perhaps working in heirloom seeds would avoid that. This story about a Native American squash and seed bank is interesting. Perhaps you could partner with a Native American tribe or tribes. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/23/483147072/how-native-american-tribes-saved-a-giant-ancient-squash-from-oblivion Best of luck to you. -- Suzanne [image: https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif] *Pam Quackenbush** >* 11:29 AM (22 hours ago) [image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] *[image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif]* *[image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif]* to me, michlib-l [image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] Hello - There are currently 41 seed libraries in Michigan, and more coming along for this spring. On Sunday at the Central Michigan Seed Swap in Midland there will be a presentation on starting a seed library, as well as many other presentations. Free seeds will be available to everyone, but if you are starting a seed library you can get extra seeds to get you going. For more information visit the swap's website http://www.smallhousefarm.com/seedswap/ Also check their Facebook page and message them if you want the starter pack. https://www.facebook.com/CentralMichiganSeedSwap/ Another helpful Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MISeedLibrary/ and the Community Seed Resource Program group https://www.facebook.com/groups/673731699448199/ As for legalities, those have largely been put to rest. Most states have agreed to exempt seed libraries from any rules that apply to companies who sell seeds. Michigan is a very seed library-friendly state.

This one-day conference takes place in August during even-numbered years. Please contact us if your institution would like to host the MIX conference in August 2018.The host institution will have significant control over conference content and should consider the following factors before volunteering. - Low cost meeting space availability. Depending on the needs of the conference, there may be a need for a large room for all 50-100 attendees as well as a potential need for smaller rooms nearby if breakout sessions are desirable.- Local commitment to hosting a conference.- Possibilities for coordinating lunchPast organizers acknowledge that this may be short notice for some institutions. This year past organizers were able to secure funding to support the conference from the Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA) through the Instruction and Information Literacy Interest Group. The previous MIX organizers are grateful for this support.

For that reason, borrowing it from MeL does not make sense for her. I was wondering if any of you had an old Dewey Decimal Classification set that you would be willing to donate. I don't think she needs something specific; any edition would be useful to her. Please contact me off list if you have one you are willing to let go. Many thanks, Erin Marsh Assistant Director/Youth Services Specialist Ransom District Library 180 S.

Currently, LSTA is funded at $183.6 million, but the recent announcement of a bipartisan two-year budget agreement has the potential to provide additional funding for domestic programs like LSTA. To take advantage of this opportunity, Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) is requesting $200 million for LSTA for FY 2018. This week is critical as senators are returning from recess and we know that finishing the FY 2018 budget is a priority before they move on to the FY 2019 budget. We are contacting you because one or both of your senators are part of the Labor HHS subcommittee. Please take a moment today to contact your senator and ask that they support $200 million for LSTA for FY 2018. Send an Email Need more information about the FY 2018 budget? Check District Dispatch.

Most of the time the best sellers get whisked away to fill a long hold list and they never get a chance to see it. We have an odd system now where we keep the book on display for a week before we fill holds - but it seems like a shame to make folks wait. All I can think to do is make a color copy of each book cover and put it on display in place of the book - but this seems like it would take a lot of ink.

Presenters will connect key data findings from the tool to national trends in philanthropic support for libraries. Using the tool to leverage networks and relationships, learn how to generate a viable list of potential funders to research further in order to determine the right fit for your library.
