Akron-Summit County Public Library (OH) Message-ID: Striving for excellence - Library Director, Akron-Summit County Public Library (OH) The Akron-Summit County Public Library Board of Trustees seeks a leader with vision and strong collaboration skills for its next Library Director. Key attributes for this position include the ability to foster a team environment, enthusiasm and passion for innovative library services, and a commitment to being a strong community partner. ASCPL, a county district system serving 377,588 residents, is governed by a seven-member Board and supported by a staff of 307 FTE with an annual operating budget of $31 million. The community supports its Library. Seventy percent of voters approved a 2015 levy which makes up 55% of the operating budget. There is also strong support from the Library's Friends groups. The Library provides stellar service to diverse communities-both urban and suburban-through 17 neighborhood branches and the downtown Main Library, and has been recognized as a Star Library by Library Journal each year since 2009. Located about 30 miles south of Cleveland, Akron is the historic center of the tire and rubber industry and was once known as the "Rubber Capital of the World." The City continues to foster entrepreneurial endeavors as a key component of Northeast Ohio's "Polymer Valley" - 45% of Ohio's polymer-related companies are in Akron. Nature lover, arts enthusiast, sports fan, or history buff? Akron has something for you! The area is home to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio's only national park, as well as many historic sites, such as Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens and Hale Farm and Village. The Akron Art Museum and Akron Zoo are highly regarded cultural keystones. Akron's local music scene is known for having produced many iconic musicians, including James Ingram, Devo, Chrissie Hynde, and the Black Keys. The city also enjoys Blossom Music Center, the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra; Porthouse Theatre, a venue for outdoor enjoyment of the performing arts; and E.J. Thomas Hall, which brings Broadway theater and other entertainment to Akron. Sporting attractions include the AA baseball Akron RubberDucks, Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament, and First Energy All-American Soap Box Derby. Educational opportunities abound with excellent public and private schools and several well-regarded universities, including The University of Akron and Kent State University with its notable MLIS program. There is more to explore beyond Summit County: Akron's proximity to Cleveland offers access to the world-class Cleveland Museum of Art and Cleveland Orchestra; professional sports teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indians, and Browns; and many other outstanding amenities, including a professional theater district known as "Playhouse Square." For more information about the Library or the Akron/Summit County area, visit ASCPL Links. Responsibilities: Responsibilities include administering all functions of the Library; ensuring the efficient overall administration and operation of the Library; and overseeing the planning, development, and implementation of Library goals and objectives as approved by the Board of Trustees. The Director works with the Fiscal Officer to prepare Library budgets; oversees personnel functions as delegated by the Board of Trustees; and participates in a variety of community organizations. See the full position description at ASCPL Job Description. Qualifications: Minimum qualifications include five years of progressively responsible senior management experience in the public sector and a master's degree in library science or public administration, or equivalent degree from an accredited program of graduate studies. Leadership, interpersonal, and consensus-building skills are required, as are the ability to analyze community needs and develop programs to meet those needs, and the ability to work collegially in a team environment. Experience reporting to and working effectively with a governing board, working in a multi-branch library system, and passing tax levies are highly desirable.

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, Did you notice? MeL went live with a soft launch of a redesigned homepage (codename: Pigeon) at the tail end of 2017. The changes were a direct result of usability testing performed over the winter of 2016 and summer of 2017. Here are the highlights of the redesign: * The only search on the MeL.org homepage is the "new" MeLCat search. Have no fear, Classic MeLCat is still alive and well but now the new MeLCat search is on the MeL homepage. * Searching the available databases for Articles and E-resources can now be accomplished from the Databases page. Were you ever curious about the most popular topics among the databases? We've also added links to the top searches on the right hand side of the page, both for easy access and to pique your interest about the great content found in the databases. * We have commissioned a series of videos promoting MeL and we'll roll them out one per month on the homepage. Check back for a new one at the beginning of each month and feel free to share them on your sites or social media venues. They'll be added to our YouTube channel as they are available. * The top portals - Kids and Teens - have been moved into the global, black navigation bar that runs across the top of the page under the banner. * The other portals - Business, Jobs, Government, Health, Legal and Books and Literacy - which have always been linked to from the footer, are now found only in the footer and not in the center of the homepage. * The left navigation options have been grouped: For Michigan Residents is on the top, under which we have Practice Tests and Magazines & Newspapers and beneath that we have: For Librarians with the ever-popular MeL Minute and Promotion & Training resources. Enjoy! Brought to you by Deb Renee Biggs and Sonya Schryer Norris, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery.

Message-ID: CSLP is seeking suggestions for not only the 2021 program year, but also the 2022 program year. Use this form to enter your submissions: https://goo.gl/forms/1kLwIetIXOKugwAo1 The DUE date for submitting ideas is January 15, 2018. To take a look back through previous slogans/themes, you can see a full listing on CSLP's website. By providing your suggestions now, it allows CSLP the opportunity to contract with illustrators further out into the future and increases CSLP's ability to work with the artists that our members suggest. It also aligns theme suggestions with the strengths of the illustrators and provides more flexibility with integrating their art into the manual production process. This ultimately provides CSLP with the opportunity to provide more products with our artwork, and getting all of our summer reading promotional materials into the hands of our members in a more reasonable time frame.

We have a staff member, Melanie Allbery (copied to this message) who homeschooled her children with a literature-based curriculum through 8-th grade. She "retired" as a kindergarten teacher to do this. (She was such a frequent patron we hired her to be a para-pro sub when her kids were a little older.) Melanie began offering a monthly homeschooling program in Sept. 2015, Sept. - April. It draws 25-45 people. Melanie has a different theme each month, with lots of hands-on learning activities. I don't think that any one else on my staff could deliver this program. Melanie's knowledge of lesson plans, group/classroom management and ability to converse with any age person all go into making this program a success. And Melanie's contacts with the entire s.e. MI homeschooling community have helped a lot with publicity. I've attached a current flyer. Please contact Melanie if you would like more information. She will be off until after the first of the year. Her name is Melanie Allbery (two "l's") and her email address is melanie.allbery at farmlib.org. 2. I have to say, I was disappointed in the response to your question about homeschool programs. As a former homeschooling mom myself, I remember being very disappointed that my local (and other nearby) libraries did not have homeschool programs. There seemed to be a lot of interest among the parents in my homeschool groups, since most of us were regulars at our local public libraries. When I began working at FCL as a Page, I learned that one of the parapros in the children's department was also a homeschooler. Three or four years ago, she started a program for homeschoolers and, since I now work in a different building and am an adult librarian, I wondered how it was going, given the less than enthusiastic response you received to your post. Here's what she said: I have had a wonderful response to my homeschool program, thankfully!! I have a regular group that comes, along with new people, every month. I think it makes a huge difference that I homeschooled my children--they see me as credible in providing a program for them. The parents are VERY appreciative and give me feedback as to what they like/need/want. Don't give up on homeschoolers! But maybe have a talk with them first to see what their needs and their availabilities are. ;) ***Two recommendations to contact Melanie Allbery!*** 3. We have a Homeschool Advisory Board that meets once a month at the library. This is the purpose statement: The purpose of the Tamarack District Library Homeschool Advisory Board is regularly to collaborate in areas of mutual interest for the benefit of their families, the library, and the community. The Homeschool Advisory Board will share resources, plan or recommend events, and support endeavors with a focus on positive community interaction, education, and service to others. I present it to community members (both homeschoolers and others) something like this: ?It?s a way for homeschoolers to learn more about the resources available at the library and network with each other; and it is a way for the library to learn more about how we can serve homeschoolers? needs.? These meetings have resulted in increased use of library materials, and given us some useful direction in collection development that has benefited the community as a whole. For example, in the early days of the HAB, we received a request for foreign language learning materials such as Rosetta Stone. From that request we embarked on a process that has resulted in us now having five foreign language laptops available for checkout. Each has a different language learning software installed on it, and they are very popular. It appears HAB has also been useful to homeschoolers for networking, and the library is now identified as ?the place to go? for new homeschoolers in the area who want to learn more and get looped in. The HAB has also provided the impetus for the following programs: ? Weekly Chess Club on Friday afternoon (open to the public) ? Annual ?Science Fair? in March (open to the public) ? Annual ?pick up? choir of homeschooled kids who sing at the library?s annual Christmas open house ? A game day focused on strategy games is currently being planned Through HAB, homeschooled kids have become increasingly involved as volunteers in our ?Junior Friends of the Library? group, and in support of various programs. Thanks for responding...I will send along more if I get any. Happy New Year! Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.

At the end of 2017, Senators Jack Reed (D-RI), Susan Collins (R-ME), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) introduced the Museum and Library Services Act of 2017. The 2017 MLSA (S. 2271) reauthorizes the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), showing congressional support for the federal agency. IMLS administers funding through the Library Services Technology Act (LSTA), the only federal program that exclusively covers services and funding for libraries. LSTA provides more than $183 million for libraries through the Grants to States program, the National Leadership Grants for Libraries, the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and Native American Library Services. With the FY 2019 budget cycle looming and the FY 2018 decisions yet to be finalized by Congress, having MLSA reauthorized will send a strong signal to the Appropriations Committees. An agency lacking an authorization risks becoming a target for elimination by ?budget hawks? in Congress, and the authorization for IMLS and LSTA expired in 2016. This week, please help us rally support for MLSA. Contact your Senators and urge them to show support for libraries by becoming a cosponsor of S. 2271. Tell them how your library supports the constituents of their state, and tell them how LSTA funds enable your library to offer valuable services to your community. Need more information? Check out the most recent District Dispatch post or read up on the history of MLSA.

Swimming History: Michigan?s Grayling Grayling once thrived in Michigan. The beautiful fish?s dorsal fin stuck up like a sail. Rivers such as the Au Sable teemed with grayling. Fishermen claimed that they could catch three grayling with one cast. During the late 19th century, overfishing, logging, habitat destruction, and introduction of non-native trout species destroyed the grayling. The last grayling in Michigan died out in the 1930s. The city of Grayling, in Crawford County, is named for the fish. Do You Like Michigan Road Trips? In our January/February issue of Michigan History, we introduced a new section titled ?Manny on the Move,? a two-page spread devoted to historically entertaining road trip ideas focusing on different areas of Michigan. Manny, our HSM Magazines mascot, takes readers of a journey through historical sites of note in ?Sunny-Side Up?Touring M-25?s Sunrise Coast.? Most of the sites in this road trip are locations that are free to visit, and include fun tidbits for the whole family. Interested in following Manny?s journey?

Presents Millennial Visions & Earthly Pursuits: The Israelite House of David January 10, 2018 Millennialist preachers Benjamin and Mary Purnell founded the Israelite House of David in Benton Harbor in 1903. Their religious commune soon gathered hundreds of members and became an economic powerhouse, with an amusement park, jazz band, and baseball team. Scandals and feuds rocked the colony, but it survives as one of America?s oldest communal orders. All lectures are at 7 p.m., and take place at the Meijer Education Center at the Historical Society of Michigan. Members of the Society can attend for free, and non-members can attend for $7/person.

First, we would very much like to know if any of you have language in your Patron Behavior policies that allows for lifetime/permanent bans of patrons. If your policy does allow for a lifetime ban please share the specific language including what infractions allow for a lifetime ban and the process for implementing the ban. Also, what steps allow for a patron to challenge their lifetime ban. Second, we would very much like to know if you have ever enforced a lifetime ban and the circumstances surrounding the ban, at least as far as patron privacy allows you to share with me. I would be happy to collect and share this information with other libraries if they are interested. If libraries sharing information with me about lifetime bans would like me to omit any information from this data collection I would be happy to do that as well. Have a great weekend and keep warm!

The 2017 MLSA (S. 2271) reauthorizes the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), showing congressional support for the federal agency. IMLS administers funding through the Library Services Technology Act (LSTA), the only federal program that exclusively covers services and funding for libraries. LSTA provides more than $183 million for libraries through the Grants to States program, the National Leadership Grants for Libraries, the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and Native American Library Services. Why this is important: A federally funded agency or program typically requires an "authorization", which is legislation passed by Congress providing its justification. The authorization must be periodically reauthorized. IMLS and LSTA were last authorized in 2010, and the authorization expired in 2016. Although an authorization is not a requirement for a program to receive federal funding, passage of a reauthorization sends a strong signal of support to the Appropriations Committees. An agency lacking an authorization risks becoming a target for elimination by "budget hawks" in Congress. With the FY 2019 budget looming, it is important for IMLS to be reauthorized. What you can do: Contact your Senators and urge them to show support for libraries by becoming a cosponsor of S. 2271. Tell them how your library supports the constituents of their state, and tell them how LSTA funds enable your library to offer valuable services to your community Need more information?

Each chapter is linked by the era's heady political atmosphere, which Ameri's family fully participated in, and the aroma of jasmine, which grew in abundance in the courtyard of her grandfather's elegant Damascus home.

(Photo by Thomas Reznich)Jamie Paille, who has served as facility and finance manager at the Houghton Lake Public Library since February, is to become library director in July, 2019, according to a succession plan accepted by the Houghton Lake Library Board during their Nov. 15 meeting. The plan was submitted to the board by current Library Director Kimberly Young, who said she is stepping down to pursue other interests. Young said the board chose to accept the plan ?because they approved of the idea of developing the talent they have,? rather than choosing a new director from applicants in a search that was con?ducted from August through November. Under the plan, Paille will train under Young until she takes over the position. Paille was recently accepted at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, where she will pursue a master?s de?gree in library and information sci?ence through the university?s School of Information Studies. Paille, 34, and her husband Michael Paille are both 2002 graduates of Hough?ton Lake High School, and she currently holds a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Davenport University. She said she sought the director?s job because ?There was a need. I love learn?ing and I think I?ve found my niche here.

Great job!? ?The curriculum & speakers were so well organized around the overall RIPL themes. It felt like a course in library data instead of individual conference sessions.? ??This was, by far, the best conference I?ve ever attended and I think part of that was the fact that it was so focused on one area ? we had the time to delve into the various aspects of that, as well as get to know one another and work as a team.

From camden at monroe.lib.mi.us Tue Jan 9 16:19:24 2018 From: camden at monroe.lib.mi.us (Laura Orlowski) Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 16:19:24 -0500 Subject: [Michlib-l] Making the Move to Plastic Cards Message-ID: Hi everyone; The Camden Twp. Library is considering the idea of moving to plastic patron library cards with keytags (currently we use handwritten paper cards). The switch from paper to plastic could be pretty simple, but we are also toying with the idea of changing the format of our patron barcodes. Right now, our patrons receive a barcode, which is used for local checkouts and MeLCat. Then they have to modify the barcode to use our Overdrive group, and then modify the barcode yet again to use our RBDigital/Zinio group. I have already contacted MeLCat, Overdrive & RBDigital to find out how difficult this process may be - all say it is fairly easy. So my questions to you are: 1. Has anyone else faced this situation? If so, what did you decide to do? 2. What company did you use to purchase your plastic cards/keytags? 3. What procedure did you use to switch your patron barcodes to the new numbers? 4. Pros & Cons to changing patron barcodes? Any suggestions, comments, etc. will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp.

Transforming Communities, the IMLS Strategic Plan 2018-2022, [PDF, 4.59 MB] frames how IMLS will advance, support, and empower America's libraries, museums, and the communities they serve. "Museums and libraries provide Americans with access to vital collections, information, and opportunities that can be life-changing," said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. "We hope this strategic vision will open up new conversations, inspire meaningful collaboration, and help museums and libraries improve the well-being of their communities." The new plan outlines four strategic goals that will underpin the agency's programs and services: 1. Promote Lifelong Learning: IMLS supports learning and literacy for people of all ages through museums and libraries. 2. Build Capacity: IMLS strengthens the capacity of museums and libraries to improve the well-being of their communities. 3. Increase Public Access: IMLS makes strategic investments that increase access to information, ideas, and networks through libraries and museums. 4. Achieve Excellence: IMLS strategically aligns its resources and relationships to support libraries and museums nationwide. Developed with input from a wide variety of community stakeholders, as well as IMLS leadership, staff, and board members, the agency invites a continuation of the conversation through three Twitter chats: January 17, 24, and 31, focusing on learning, capacity building, and access. Please see the IMLS website for more details. IMLS will assess the agency's progress in achieving the goals and objectives framed in the strategic plan, revising it accordingly over the next five years.

MeLCat went live on January 10, 2005 when a West Bloomfield patron requested Alice Starmore?s ?The Celtic collection: Twenty-five knitwear designs for men and women? from Bloomfield Township Public Library. Since that day 13 years ago: * over 430 libraries have joined * patrons have made over 11 million requests * the annual fill rate has reached 91.9% None of that would be possible without the hard work of hundreds of library staff across the state. Everyone contributes. We?ve seen items go between the far corners of the state . . . from Ironwood Carnegie Library to Monroe County Library System?s Luna Pier branch, from the Blissfield branch of Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library to Calumet Public School, from Three Oaks Township Public Library to Bayliss Public Library, and from Pickford Community Library to Reading Community Library. We expect to see the large public and academic libraries lending to the smaller libraries; they just have bigger collections. But a surprising amount of material has been lent by small K12 libraries to the largest public and academic libraries. Everyone contributes. The MCLS MeLCat staff thanks every one of you for making MeLCat the success that it is. Happy birthday to us all.

This online dashboard www.MISchoolData.org/ParentDashboard is designed especially for parents and other caregivers and contains the information they care about most when learning about their children's schools. It is a collaborative effort involving a variety of state agencies, and the State Board of Education. The website centralizes data on everything from standardized test scores to attrition and expulsion numbers and data about student-staff ratios, among a host of other information Library administrators may want to explore the site to learn about potential P-20 partners and the communities of students they serve. You may also find it helpful to inform your patrons of the new Parent Dashboard resource so they can learn more about schools their children attend. The resource has also been added to the Parent Resources section of the MeL Teachers portal: http://teachers.mel.org/parent-resources You can find more details and messaging resources on the main MDE web here: www.michigan.gov/mde-ParentDashboard Shannon ----------------------------- Shannon White Director of Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 702 W.

Women?s History Month is right around the corner. This year, how about doing something a little different, a little subversive, and yes, maybe a bit vicariously dangerous, at your library? If I?ve been to your library, you already know I?m a NYT bestselling, Michigan Notable author, known for my true crime books and memoir. And, if I?ve been to your library, you already know I like to get my research in front of an audience and see what happens. If I haven?t been to your library, why not? (Ask your colleagues ? I always do my best to draw a crowd and put on a good event.) With that in mind, I?ve put together a new library talk giving women their due, but with my signature spin. Here are the specifics: Title: ?Not All Sugar & Spice: Bad Women of the Mitten? Description: If, ?Equal Means Equal,? then some Michigan women have certainly proved that, and in the darkest of ways. For example, in 1950, when Martha Beck was arrested for a triple murder outside Grand Rapids, she called her life ?a love story,? just before being extradited to face New York?s electric chair. In 1988 Gwen Graham and Cathy Wood were arrested for killing five patients at a nursing home. Wood cut a deal and is up for parole; Graham got five life sentences, but is the right woman really behind bars forever? In 1970, Bernardine Dorhn became one of only a handful of women to break into a group previously 98% male: The FBI?s Most Wanted List. Dorhn was a leader of the radical group, the Weather Underground, charged in a Michigan bombing plot. In 1980, she surrendered, and served a reduced sentence. Today, she?s a law professor. What makes a good Michigan woman turn bad?This talk and powerpoint slide show takes a look at these women criminals and others (including Debbie from Wicked Takes the Witness Stand, and Stella, Isadore?s Secret), detailing their backgrounds, the motives for their crimes, and their just (or not) punishments. Followed by a Q&A. Total time, flexible but approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. Cost: $500, all inclusive. Availability: Several weekend and evening dates between February 9 and April 30, 2018. Interested?

We went through a project this year with Goyette Mechanical to change out all of our thermostats and our HVAC controls system from the old system to a web-based system. I believe Milford Library did the same. Our thermostats were old. Logging into the old software program for monitoring system was a big pain, and hard to train folks on. Now we can log into a website and see all of the system information - schedule, room settings and space temps. Goyette Mechanical maintains our HVAC system, and if there is a problem they can now see it remotely, and even get alerts sent to them when there's a problem. The web info helps them w/ diagnostics - gives them more info, more accurate/thorough info , than my phone report of "a problem." The new controls were great to have in place when we had one room hitting over 80 degrees in late summer or early fall this year - they logged in remotely, could see what was going on and give me suggestion over phone for a fix. I followed instructions and did something and we got relief in that space, without having to wait for them to find someone who could come out on a service call - which that day was going to take at least an hour. Not cheap, but the controls project was eligible for energy rebate and Goyette handled the processing of the application. We just got the rebate checks, which helps a bit. Our main contact at Goyette for this project was Ken Bennett: Kenneth Bennett Project Engineer Goyette Service C: (810) 691-4619 O: (810) 742-8530x363 kbennett at goyettemechanical.com Hope this helps. --- jude halloran, Highland Library, 248-887-2218 ext. 110 www.highlandlibrary.info I know a medium size church that switched over and they have saved about 1/3 of their costs because they now have better control of their system and can easily turn the heat down when the building is not occupied. Cindy Krueger Marketing & Outreach Dept. of Natural Resources 517-284-6053 kruegerc at michigan.gov I'm not sure how much specific input I can offer, but Madison Heights has that type of thermostat. We followed at least the Senior Center in the City. Not sure how many other City buildings currently use them. While my Library Technician and myself were trained, the Public Services Analyst/Planner with the Department of Public Services routinely handles it, specifically with additions to the library*'s *meeting room (one of several City Meeting rooms booked by DPS). The room is scheduled as unoccupied in the HVAC system when not in use. I can forward your email to Sean Ballantine if you'd like for more information on the system here. Roslyn Yerman Director Madison Heights Public Library 240 W. 13 Mile Road Madison Heights, MI 48071 I installed a Honeywell ?Sensi? thermostat in my home. I have been happy with it and see that the price has dropped. As an additional option the ?Nest? thermostat has come in to line price wise also. I think there are two issues you may want to consider: 1. These are internet connected devices and may be hackable? 2. The device must match the existing wiring. The Nest and the Sensi webpage both can help sort that out.

URL: From laura at camdenlibrary.org Mon Jan 15 16:31:50 2018 From: laura at camdenlibrary.org (Laura Orlowski) Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 16:31:50 -0500 Subject: [Michlib-l] Results from Patron Card vs Barcode Change Inquiry Message-ID: Hi all; Thank you to everyone who responded to my questions about Plastic Patron Cards and changing barcodes. Here are the results of my inquiry. Thanks again! -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp. Library *Plastic Library Cards vs. Barcode Changes Results* *Albion District Library* We use Vanguard ID Systems (http://www.vanguardid.com/ ) for our library cards. We just purchased about 1,500 of them - full-size plastic, reinforced, with a keychain that matches it. They came in very inexpensively (about $0.50/each plus set-up and shipping). With our system (Apollo), it's as easy as just scanning or typing over it in the system. If they have outstanding holds in OverDrive, you just have to be careful. Their existing holds are linked to their current barcode number. *Dorothy Hull Library* We switched from paper to plastic last year. We found The Library Store to be significantly cheaper than other vendors we looked at. We also did NOT go with key tags, even though we initially planned to. Most of our patrons did not want them. That worked for us as well because we again saved money. We used one of their stock designs and it was all pretty painless. We did not have your barcode issues as ours were the standard number of digits. *Willard Library* If you are interested, here at Willard Library we wrote our own Library card software that uses a webcam at each circulation station to get a mug shot and we print them out on inexpensive card printers. No need to have them pre-printed, we just buy blank cards. If you are interested I would be happy to demo it for you. *Shiawassee District Library - Owosso* We haven't switched to plastic cards, but we are gradually switching from a 5 digit barcode to a 13 digit with a check digit (14 digits in all). Our circ system can handle both so we are not replacing old cards, just issuing the new barcodes for new cards. There haven't been any problems with Overdrive and MeL both work with the new circ system without the patrons being aware of it. However, in spite of plenty of publicity, 2 years later we still have patrons who can't figure out why they can't log into Overdrive as they no longer need to add a prefix to their card numbers. Card numbers are also harder to memorize which some patrons dislike. We started all the 13 digit barcodes with a 2 which we were told is standard. The rest of the numbers are up to you. We chose the number of our zv code plus a 9 so numbers look like 22559000xxxxx plus the computer generated check digit. The xxxxx part of the number is issued sequentially so the zeros will also be added numbers if and when we need them. *Franklin Public Library* We are the smallest library in The Library Network co-op. We recently joined RBdigital and realized that all of our barcodes that we had been ordering through TLN (as we do our plastic library cards) were not going to be compatible with RBdigital. We did not need to buy new cards but we did need the new barcodes which we just purchased through Demco. I did have to work closely with TLN to make sure we had the correct format. We have been using the new barcodes for all new cards we give out and if anyone wants to access RBdigital they will also need a new barcode for their card. Because our old barcodes are compatible with OverDrive, MelCat and Freegal we didn't need to replace everyone's cards just those people who wanted to access RBdigital and of course every new card we give out. It might be painful to switch all of your patrons over but I would think it would be much easier to have one barcode that can access all of your services and that you can now offer to new card holders that you sign up. *Detroit Area Library Network* In the past I was at a library that had to redo all barcodes from scratch. In general, I always recommend moving to a standard barcode. That helps to make sure your codes will work in multiple and various systems. Usually codabar 14 digits, last digit a check sum, is what we have used. I have recommended Watson Label Products http://wlp.com/ . They can do the plastic cards and key tags as well as convert or give you barcode ranges. *North Adams Community Memorial Library* We did it. Our new cards came last March. I went with RACO Industries. That's where we got our receipt printer, wand and stand and our bar codes. I got twice as many library cards for the money as (I think it was DEMCO) wanted. Every time I thought we were ready to order with this other company, they had another question for me. And I couldn't get answers from them to my questions. They always had to go consult someone else. Their last question to me was something that I had to ask RACO about. RACO was very helpful - answered my question with no fooling around. Then asked if I knew they did borrower cards, too! No, I did not. And at that point I was tired of dealing with the other company. We use the standard 14-digit bar code - the last digit being a check digit. We have a wallet card and a key tag, using our own art work. As patrons come in, I just swap their old card for the new one. I have to change it in our system. Change it in Overdrive Library Card Manager (where you add them initially) and then go to Overdrive MarketPlace and merge their old number with the new one. A few steps, but not bad. You need to upload a new record into MeL. Look up your patron by name in MeL, make sure the new one is there and that there is nothing current on the old one, then delete the old one. Not a big deal if you can keep them from using the old number. There were a couple of people that I had to put stops on the old number to get them to stop using it. One thing I just discovered is that I forgot that Transparent Language and ComicsPlus and RBDigital had to know how many digits, and the digits your numbers begin with (just got that taken care of). *T.A. Cutler Memorial Library* We faced this situation before we went live on Overdrive and RBDigital last year. We had alphanumeric barcodes that included a space, which resulted in coding issues every time we tried to integrate via SIP2 with any electronic resources, including MeLCat when we went live with NCIP enhancements and Freading when we added ebooks for the first time. So we switched to 14-digit barcodes early last year. We're still implementing the changeover. As someone brings in an old card we update their registration record and issue a new card with new number. We contacted MeLCat before we initiated the changeover and Freading after. We also let Overdrive and RBDigital know they should only accept patron accounts that match the new format, in order to encourage active patrons to bring in their card for a replacement and to make sure no one fell through the cracks. We didn't need to purchase the plastic cards, because our previous stock were blank and we place a barcode sticker on the card and a matching digit sticker on the registration card (Data2 is the source of our two-part barcode stickers). It has been approximately 10 months since we initiated the changeover. We can tell at a glance whether an account has been updated yet and we only update accounts as needed (as with any library, we have many inactive accounts and I saw no reason to renumber all of them). I think we've updated approximately 850-1000 accounts in the 10-month period whereas our patron file (active and inactive) contains about 4500 records. I would totally do it again. There hasn't been a great deal of labor involved, there has been very little pushback from our patrons (some aren't so keen on entering 14 digits where they previously only needed to enter 6, but they accept the trade-off with increased digital access), the cost was under $1000, and the headaches associated with SIP2 are gone. *Milan Public Library* We use vanguard for the plastic cards, with the key card and a little barcode tail that we put on their application. When we switched to Vanguard, years ago, they handled the barcode changing but I barely remember that. This one card does melcat, our system and overdrive. We don't have the RBD thingy. Our automation system is Autographics/Verso. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cultural institutions are eligible to receive up to $750,000 grants. NEH?s new Infrastructure and Capacity-Building Challenge Grants program seeks to strengthen the institutional base of the humanities in the United States through matching grants to libraries, museums, archives, colleges and universities, historic sites, scholarly associations, and other cultural institutions for efforts that build institutional capacity or infrastructure for long-term sustainability. These challenge grants, which require a match of nonfederal funds, may be used toward capital expenditures such as construction and renovation projects, purchase of equipment and software, sharing of humanities collections between institutions, documentation of lost or imperiled cultural heritage, sustaining digital scholarly infrastructure, and preservation and conservation of humanities collections. ?For decades NEH has played a vital role in helping build the humanities infrastructure of the United States,? said NEH Senior Deputy Chairman Jon Parrish Peede. ?These new grants expand that role by leveraging federal dollars to spur increased private investment in our nation?s libraries, museums, and cultural centers to ensure the long-term health and growth of these institutions. The result will be greater access to historical, cultural, and educational resources for all Americans.? The new grant program includes a special encouragement to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and two-year colleges. The application deadline for the first NEH Infrastructure and Capacity-Building Challenge Grants is March 15, 2018. Interested applicants should direct questions about grant proposals to challenge at neh.gov or 202-606-8309. Shannon White -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So many libraries do not have the funding to create, maintain, let alone staff, these collections in ways that can help prevent (or minimize) the damage or theft of often irreplaceable items. Some collections of archival-value materials have been carefully stored, even catalogued, but are still awaiting a library or more permanent archival ?home? for those materials. Owners, whether the preservationists or the librarians, do not want to see the results of their preservation efforts damaged or lost. Thank you for reaching out to others dealing with these same challenges!

Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48915 LancasterC5 at michigan.gov | 517-335-8129 | www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan Follow us: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram [MDE Logo] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Gov. Snyder's MiSTEM Advisory Council Awards $2.85M to 34 STEM Projects January 19, 2018 LANSING - Thirty-four Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs are sharing $2.85 million in state grants from Governor Rick Snyder's MiSTEM Advisory Council, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. The state Legislature set aside $2.85 million in 2017-18 to distribute grants up to $100,000 for the implementation of STEM programs listed in the STEMworks database. The MiSTEM Advisory Council selected the awardees, whose funding ranges from $24,000 to $100,000, from 134 applications seeking more than $10 million. The applications came from local and intermediate school districts (ISDs), universities, and STEM providers "STEM education is critically important to a student's success later in life," Governor Snyder said. "Thank you to my partners in the state Legislature and the Department of Education for ensuring that more Michigan students will have access to these STEM skills." The MiSTEM Advisory Council said in a statement: "The Council would like to thank the Governor for the leadership and vision to propel STEM education down a new and exciting path. The legislature has stepped up to the challenge and appropriated funds to support this shift in culture, enabling STEM programming around the state to benefit from proven best practices. "As proud as we may be about this initial success, we are even more encouraged by the widespread potential that will be harnessed and directed toward the further advancement of STEM education for all of the students throughout the state." State Superintendent Brian Whiston said the grants' STEM focus will help Michigan become a Top 10 education state in 10 years - the central goal of the Michigan Department of Education. The grants align with the Top 10 plan's goal of implementing high-quality classroom instruction through a child-centered instructional model with a strategy to enable public schools' students to engage in integrated STEM programming. In weighing the applications, the MiSTEM Advisory Council considered reviewer ratings, program type, and distribution across the MiSTEM Network Regions. Two successful applicants, Oakland Schools and West Shore ESD, received multiple awards to provide professional development in regions other than their own. They are using the funding to build on statewide work underway for several years with seed funding from other sources. Here is the list of 10 ISDs, 10 local districts and three STEM education provider applications selected for funding: Organization Region STEMworks Program Amount Lakeview Sch. District (Calhoun) Region 1 - Southwest Michigan PLTW $94,340 Oakland Schools Region 2 - South Central Michigan Modeling MS Science - Jackson/Lansing $100,000 Brighton Area Schools Region 2 - South Central Michigan PLTW $53,007 National Inventors Hall of Fame, Inc.

Today, Biddle is remembered for the impact she made on Michigan's Native-American tribes as well as Mackinac Island society during the tumultuous nineteenth century. If you're interested in learning Agatha Biddle's story, read her article on us!

Translation -- we are looking for someone who likes cataloging, and getting the most out of an automation system to deliver better results for our patrons. Have to like YA materials and want to build up our collection. We have made some contacts at the High School and want someone to take this to the next level. Sound too scary, also OK if you just like to get the work done and make patrons happy that their books are ready to read and easy to find. *What's our library and city like* -- The Grand Ledge Area District Library is a Class IV library in a thriving suburb west of Lansing with a service population of 16,000 people and annual operating budget of $750,000. We want your ideas on how to enhance our collections (90K items), draw new users to the library (70K annual visitors), and create new readers (98K annual circulation). Lots to do in Grand Ledge and the greater Lansing area (music, plays, arts, river, parks) and we love a parade! Have to say Grand Ledge is a great place, we are close to Lansing/MSU, so have plenty to do in Lansing and in Grand Ledge. Plenty of shopping and Grand Rapids and Brighton (outlet malls) are within an hour. Lots of outdoor activity from kayaking, biking, and several parks -- and don't forget ledge climbing! *SALARY:* $18.00 per hour (negotiable based upon experience) *HOURS: 24 hours per week*?schedule includes 5-9pm Thursday night shift. In addition, participate in weekend desk coverage monthly rotation. We are open 4 nights a week and 7 days a week. We think its important that catalogers work the public service desk -- if you don't know how the catalog is being used, you can't make it work for patrons. *BENEFITS:* Limited benefits include annual paid personal time, life insurance/disability package, holidays, and 1% matching 457 retirement plan *SUBMIT:* Letter of interest, completed job application, contact information for three professional references and resume. *APPLY TO:* Lise Mitchell, Library Director, Grand Ledge Area District Library, 131 E.

Serving 84,000 people with an annual $2.9 million operating budget and 42 staff, the Library provides excellent services to the citizens of Westland in a lovely 33,450 sq. ft. building located in a park-like setting.

It would be helpful if you could give us feedback on the following: Do you separate based on rating(G & PG) or do you keep them together but provide a label for the rating? How much information do you present on the spines (first letter of title, 3 letters of title, or whole title, etc)? If you label and organize by more than the first letter what kind of impact does the greater organization have on your staff's time and ability to keep things in order?

We discussed the need to educate and prepare our staff and boards to respond appropriately to challenges that range from subtle, such as the patron who flips magazines over in the public reading area that is used as personal office space, to formal, such as a signed, submitted Request for Reconsideration form for a specific item. In 2017, only 8 Michigan libraries reported challenges (non-confidential) to the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom. Yet in the short discussion at MLA Conference, almost everyone could share an example of materials that had been challenged. Michigan libraries that receive a formal Request for Reconsideration form, and have completed the process of committee review, board recommendation, and final determination, are encouraged to report the challenge to the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom.

The son of the school librarian was injured and another librarian colleague's child is comatose. This can happen anywhere, anytime. So, I wanted to remind you that the Library of Michigan sponsored a MLIS capstone project in 2017, and we do have a toolkit available to help your youth services department prepare, in advance, for a community or natural crisis. Please follow the link below for the toolkit. You can also find the Youth Services programming During a Time of Crisis posted online at www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan. Youth Services Programming During a Time of Crisis, is a printable 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.

Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated! We got a lot of great ideas! Thanks again! Below is a compilation of the responses I received for anyone else who's interested: Hamburg Township Library While we don?t have a historical room or many historical materials, we do have a security system. We put tattle tapes in every item. People have to exit through the security gates to leave the library. If an item was not checked out properly the gates will sound an alarm. I would suggest you investigate a similar system (they are common) as it will protect not only your historical materials, but all library materials. Bayliss Public Library History & Genealogy Judge Joseph H. Steere Room Access: Rules 1. All researchers must show their Bayliss Public Library/Superior District Library card or Driver?s License at the Circulation Desk, sign the register, and record their research purpose. Library cards will be checked, updated, and any fines $5.00 or over must be paid. 2. Briefcases, notebooks, and large purses may be stored at the Circulation Desk. Coats may be hung on the nearby coat rack. Researchers may take a pad of paper and a pencil into the room. 3. Pencils only are permitted. They are provided, if needed. 4. Care must be taken in the handling of materials and clean hands are encouraged. Cotton gloves are required when viewing photographs and manuscripts. 5. No material may be taken out of the room. 6. Library staff will do photocopying, unless patron is given permission to do so. 7. All locked cases and cabinets will be kept locked. Library staff will provide the requested material. 8. Use of the room is restricted to adults or students who have made an appointment and are supervised by library staff and a parent. No more than four people may use the room at one time. 9. Appointments are recommended for in-depth research projects. Genesee District Library Normally, archives control theft by: 1. Having the items viewed in a room with a staff attendant; 2. Requiring researchers to leave coats, backpacks, briefcases outside of the room, such as in a locker, or at least at the desk; 3. Researchers are limited to one archival box at a time; 4. Researchers record their name, etc., and what part of the collection they are using. Even with these controls, things disappear. So if you have any valuable items, limit the access to them. Warren Public Library I don't have any specific written policies, but I do know of two different approaches to historical collections. When I was a page years back, the library I worked at had a small historical collection in a room they could lock and they would hold a patron's ID while they were using the room. Since the staff wasn't watching the whole time or could spare the time to look things over after patron use, I'm not sure this method would keep all damage and theft at bay, but at least it gave the patron the idea that there might be some accountability. Now my husband works at a library with a local history center in their basement and it is only open specific week nights and Saturdays and is always staffed by a librarian. The librarian can fetch materials and help the patrons use Ancestry or other databases, but this also means there's a watchful eye anytime people are using the center. Tamarack District Library This may not help you very much but I hope it encourages you a little. We used to have a dingy little library downtown and a very small local history collection. I worked there for 5 years and I swear we lost so many items. Our town's centennial books went flying out the doors. We had a checkpoint system but that didn't stop them. We built a new building 10 years ago and as we were preparing to move into it, I made copies of stuff and put RFID tags on things in preparation of people wanting to steal them. However we have never had another item stolen. I have copies in 3-ring binders that are the "working" copies that they can take to the machine and make additional copies. I also have the originals, right there in the room. Nothing has walked out since we moved to the building. To my knowledge no one has even tried - no RFID tags have been ripped off, no one tried to leave with one. It not only seemed that people were more respectful of the new surroundings, but it also prompted people to donate additional items. Three of our rare local items that had been stolen from the old building have been donated back to us - and we didn't even ask for them or let on to the public that they were missing. Dexter District Library In Dexter, we keep the irreplaceable things in a locked cabinet. Patrons wishing to use items from this part of the collection must leave their driver's license with the reference librarian. Staff notes what is removed from the cabinet and items are inspected when the patron is finished. We have a smallish collection and benefit from the Dexter Area Historical Society and Museum having additional materials. Loutit District Library LOCAL HISTORY AND GENEALOGY ROOM USE POLICY STATEMENT OF POLICY Loutit District Library maintains a separate collection of local history and genealogy materials in the Local History and Genealogy Room. In order to preserve the materials, ensure their safety, and guarantee access to researchers, persons using the Room must follow these regulations. REGULATIONS 1. Researchers using the collection and department resources have precedence over those using the Room for purposes unrelated to genealogy and/or local history. If space is not available for those wishing to use the Room or study room for their intended purpose, staff may ask patrons to relocate to another part of the Library. 2. Food and drink is not permitted in the Room or in the study room. 3. Bags, purses, or briefcases are not permitted in the Room or the study room. They must be placed in or at the lockers provided. 4. Pens are not permitted; only pencils may be used in the Room and study room. 5. Computers in the Room are for genealogy and local history use only. 6. The Library?s use of this Room for Library programs and meetings shall have priority over another individual or group?s use of the Room. 7. Library staff cannot be responsible for the personal property of patrons. Do not leave items unattended. 8. Use of the Local History and Genealogy Room?s study room shall comply with the Library?s Study Room Use Policy. 9. Users shall comply with the Library?s Rules for Persons Using the Library Facility and Services, the Wireless Internet Policy, the Internet Policy, and all other applicable library policies. Lapeer District Library Access: The library holds these materials in trust for future generations, and therefore, collection items that are not on display can only be examined in the meeting room by appointment and only under direct supervision of library staff. Archival records are never to be altered or defaced by any markings whatsoever. A small portion of the collection has been digitized and can be viewed through the link to the collection on the Lapeer District Library?s website. Items cannot be taken out of the de Angeli Branch Library without written approval from the Lapeer District Library?s director or the fiction department head. Under special circumstances, items from the Marguerite de Angeli collection may be loaned to other institutions for exhibition. See Appendix B for the Marguerite de Angeli Collection Loan Agreement." Albion District Library In-library use of materials only; pencils only, not pens; no food or drink while working with materials, etc.? We keep most of our local history collection in staff-only areas, bringing them out for patrons to use upon request and with a staff member present. This is especially important with items like yearbooks, which are vulnerable to theft outright, or to patrons cutting out specific photographs that they want. Thanks again everybody!

From Facilities to Trauma: Disaster Planning and Community Resiliency at Your Library Tuesday, January 30, 2018 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 60 minutes Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/disaster-planning-community-resiliency.html Recent catastrophes have highlighted the important role public libraries play in enhancing their community?s resiliency and post-disaster recovery efforts. Many community leaders now view libraries as ad hoc disaster recovery centers and recognize librarians as Information First Responders. This presentation will help you and your library embrace this new role as Information First Responders, who quickly enable people to get back to work, back to their lives, and ensure recovery of the community?s economic life. Learn what you need to prepare before disaster strikes, guided by New Jersey State Library?s Disaster Preparedness & Community Resiliency Toolkit, which has been emergency-tested by libraries. Your library can be at the forefront in providing that safe haven in times of crisis and helping your community return to normal life.

Libraries offer the perfect environment to combat childhood hunger and obesity while preventing summer learning loss by offering free, healthy lunch to kids through the USDA Summer Food Service Program. In California, Lunch at the Library was developed to provide tailored support to library staff, offering tools to develop successful public library summer meal programs that draw new families to the library, foster community partnerships, and engage families with learning and enrichment opportunities while school is out. Join us for this webinar to learn about the tools and practical tips for starting or expanding a USDA summer meals site and incorporating lunches into your summer reading program. Even if you?ve been offering summer lunches for years, you?ll come away inspired and ready to plan.

Wednesday, February 21, 2018 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/homelessness-in-small-and-rural.html 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.

Message-ID: Striving for excellence Akron-Summit County Public Library (OH) Director Position The Akron-Summit County Public Library Board of Trustees seeks a leader with vision and strong collaboration skills for its next Library Director. Key attributes for this position include the ability to foster a team environment, enthusiasm and passion for innovative library services, and a commitment to being a strong community partner. ASCPL, a county district system serving 377,588 residents, is governed by a seven-member Board and supported by a staff of 307 FTE with an annual operating budget of $31 million. The community supports its Library. Seventy percent of voters approved a 2015 levy which makes up 55% of the operating budget. There is also strong support from the Library's Friends groups. The Library provides stellar service to diverse communities-both urban and suburban-through 17 neighborhood branches and the downtown Main Library, and has been recognized as a Star Library by Library Journal each year since 2009. Located about 30 miles south of Cleveland, Akron is the historic center of the tire and rubber industry and was once known as the "Rubber Capital of the World." The City continues to foster entrepreneurial endeavors as a key component of Northeast Ohio's "Polymer Valley" - 45% of Ohio's polymer-related companies are in Akron. Nature lover, arts enthusiast, sports fan, or history buff? Akron has something for you! The area is home to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio's only national park, as well as many historic sites, such as Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens and Hale Farm and Village. The Akron Art Museum and Akron Zoo are highly regarded cultural keystones. Akron's local music scene is known for having produced many iconic musicians, including James Ingram, Devo, Chrissie Hynde, and the Black Keys. The city also enjoys Blossom Music Center, the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra; Porthouse Theatre, a venue for outdoor enjoyment of the performing arts; and E.J. Thomas Hall, which brings Broadway theater and other entertainment to Akron. Sporting attractions include the AA baseball Akron RubberDucks, Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament, and First Energy All-American Soap Box Derby. Educational opportunities abound with excellent public and private schools and several well-regarded universities, including The University of Akron and Kent State University with its notable MLIS program. There is more to explore beyond Summit County: Akron's proximity to Cleveland offers access to the world-class Cleveland Museum of Art and Cleveland Orchestra; professional sports teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indians, and Browns; and many other outstanding amenities, including a professional theater district known as "Playhouse Square." For more information about the Library or the Akron/Summit County area, visit ASCPL Links. Responsibilities: Responsibilities include administering all functions of the Library; ensuring the efficient overall administration and operation of the Library; and overseeing the planning, development, and implementation of Library goals and objectives as approved by the Board of Trustees. The Director works with the Fiscal Officer to prepare Library budgets; oversees personnel functions as delegated by the Board of Trustees; and participates in a variety of community organizations. See the full position description at ASCPL Job Description. Qualifications: Minimum qualifications include five years of progressively responsible senior management experience in the public sector and a master's degree in library science or public administration, or equivalent degree from an accredited program of graduate studies. Leadership, interpersonal, and consensus-building skills are required, as are the ability to analyze community needs and develop programs to meet those needs, and the ability to work collegially in a team environment. Experience reporting to and working effectively with a governing board, working in a multi-branch library system, and passing tax levies are highly desirable. Compensation: The hiring salary range is $110,000 - 130,000, with benefits. For more information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates.

Message-ID: Good Afternoon, Several people on this listserve asked me to share the responses I received regarding making OCI yearbooks available on a website. They are listed below. 1. We put ours on archive.org and have the links on our website. I requested release forms from the school district superintendents and did not post any recent yearbooks that have current students so that no one who is currently under 18 would have their picture online. 2. I processed the TIF files we received from OCI and made the yearbooks into PDF files using Adobe Acrobat, and then made those available on the web through our Omeka site for local history stuff. You can use Omeka for free and host the content on your own server, but they do charge a hosting fee if you want them to host the content. It's just one of many ways you could make them available! I'm behind on getting all of the yearbooks up there, and ultimately, I think we're only going to make available up to 1940, for privacy reasons (1940 being the most recent census data available). I don't see why you couldn't just list them on a webpage as well in your WordPress site, rather than using a service like Omeka... Omeka just makes it easier to search within files, which WordPress likely won't do. 3. We are in the process of getting them ready, but will have them on the website using the free digital repository software from George Mason University, Omeka (https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fomeka.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CJulie.Censke%40monroe.lib.mi.us%7Cc68b2eb9ff5d4be53a0308d55db71d7c%7C526ff4e31ba7453c9fb17562147081dd%7C0%7C1%7C636517963434743532&sdata=ZnWUfIDZYyZoR5MYL8aQHA%2Fa33JR0wexIR%2FYEboWezQ%3D&reserved=0). It?s similar to ContentDM, but not ridiculously expensive. Since the yearbooks aren?t public yet, I can?t show you, but here?s an example of another PDF document: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.branchdistrictlibrary.org%2Fbranch%2Fitems%2Fshow%2F4589&data=02%7C01%7CJulie.Censke%40monroe.lib.mi.us%7Cc68b2eb9ff5d4be53a0308d55db71d7c%7C526ff4e31ba7453c9fb17562147081dd%7C0%7C1%7C636517963434743532&sdata=32oNn6FTnlLdYISiXdwtzbl8WCKIVTH1pkjaTpyEnTs%3D&reserved=0 Not all of our yearbooks were OCR?d by OCI, so they were not all searchable by default. Our workflow has included doing the OCR on the ones that needed it, then doing some conversion of all the PDFs to make the file sizes smaller before we post them. Once they are there, Omeka lets you search by keyword and also create custom exhibits and stuff like that. We have good Internet connection and in-house web server, so we?re not worried about the bandwidth at this point. Thank you to everyone that responded.

MDE Seeks More Partners to Expand Access to Summer Meals January 25, 2018 LANSING - More partners are needed to help feed hungry young mouths in this year's statewide Meet Up and Eat Up(tm) Summer Food Service Program, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. "Many families across Michigan struggle with food security, and there is no reason that children should go hungry when programs like this are available," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. "I strongly encourage schools, local governments, churches, and community organizations to step up by supporting the Summer Food Service Program for a positive impact on the health and lives of children in their community. "Aligning with Michigan's plan to become a Top 10 education state in 10 years, feeding children throughout the year is key to reducing the impact of high-risk factors such as poverty, and providing equal resources to meet the needs of all children and ensure access to quality educational opportunities," Whiston added. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. Many summer food sites also provide educational enrichment and recreational activities in addition to meals and snacks, helping children continue to learn and stay safe when school is not in session. The program operates in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities, preventing more than half a million children in Michigan from going hungry each year after school lunchrooms close for summer break. In 2017, 517,000 low-income Michigan children received meals during the school year, while only around 99,000, or 19 percent, received free meals or snacks at about 1,850 approved summer meal sites in their communities. MDE is recruiting new partners to help fill this summer hunger gap, and to help reduce the resulting risk of summer learning loss. The impact of summer learning loss on low-income children is dramatic. According to the Afterschool Alliance, such children typically lose more than two months of reading achievement and math skills, in addition to one month of spelling skills, during summer break. Further, research shows a direct relationship between good nutrition and learning, making Meet Up and Eat Up a key building block in Michigan communities to develop healthy, happy kids ready to learn. With more partners and community involvement, especially in many rural areas, Michigan can reach a national goal of providing nutritious meals to 40 percent of children who are eligible for free or reduced-priced summer meals, and in so doing, draw an additional $11 million in federal funding to the state. Sponsors of summer feeding sites receive federal reimbursement for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals. All sponsors receive free training and technical assistance from MDE. For more information on joining the SFSP, please contact MDE at 517-373-3347 or mde-sfsp at michigan.gov by March 15, 2018. For more information on the SFSP, visit here. The SFSP, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. # # # [Meet Up and Eat Up] * SFSP+press+release+2018.pdf ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo] Questions?

Needless to say, I'm looking to buy a *lot* of multi-disc cases. Is anyone using the hubless or stacking DVD cases in your collection? I've attached a pictures below of what I mean. They can hold between 3-6 discs. - Do you like them? Do they securely hold the cases? Are they unwieldy to use? - Have you used them and then moved away from them? - I suspect that they would cause less damage to the hubs, of which we see a *lot*. However, does it cause damage to the edges? Also, does anyone have a vendor they've used in the past that they like or really didn't like? Thank you!

[https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/matt_mclain.jpg]Matt McLain CSLP President Salt Lake County Library It?s amazing what happens over the course of a year. In June, the new Board had a vision of the direction we wanted to take CSLP, but there were so many details and possibilities, it was daunting figuring out where to begin. Looking back, we?ve accomplished more than I thought was possible. Some highlights: We?ve hired an Organizational Coordinator?Luke Kralik?who is doing exactly what the Board envisioned when we hired him, and accomplishing many of these faster than we hoped! * We have extended the artist and theme selections to five years out so we have more time to do our work, more time to get the program ready, and have the ability to produce better products to meet members? needs. We know that the artwork is one of the most important pieces of what we do, and we are getting better at using the art with the program materials. * Similarly, we?ve aligned the work of the program year to the timeline that makes the most sense. While this will help us be better at meeting (and beating) deadlines, it is also the reason we are changing the annual meeting to fall beginning in 2019. * Luke is leading a committee to examine how we can do better at providing quality incentives?T-shirts, promotional materials, prizes, books, and printed materials?at lower cost, while responding to the suggestions you?ve made over the past several years about the changing needs of your state or community?s summer reading programs. We will hopefully have more news on this at the annual meeting. * We are building stronger partnerships that will complement our summer reading program and raise the profile of summer reading nationally. So far, we are very excited about partnerships with StarNet, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, and PBS! I am proud to say that CSLP is a strong organization with a very bright future. The leaders of CSLP, from the Board to Committee Chairs, to State Representatives, to members willing to share their expertise and opinions, are 100% vested in the success of CSLP. We cannot do the work we do without these contributions. We could not have CSLP without you. Your confidence in the organization means everything to us! [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/chrissie_mcgovern.jpg]Chrissie McGovern CSLP Vice President Branch Manager, Gaston County Public Library CSLP is making some big changes and they are coming up fast! Our artwork process has already changed, but I am also excited about upcoming changes to our manuals and our annual meeting. In 2015 we ventured into contracting directly with an artist to provide artwork for the Children?s and Early Literacy programs. We fully own the artwork that David Macaulay, Brian Pinkney and now, Leeza Hernandez have created for our programs. Now that we own the artwork, there are so many different ways for us to use it. The board is currently looking to contract with a design house to assist with the production of our artwork. The design house would refine some of the artwork that we receive from our artists as well as create the supplemental clipart we have always had. One other thing we are hoping for is to find a way to tie the artwork of all of the age groups together, particularly now that we have one slogan. I think that the key word is freedom, though. We will have more freedom to choose which designs are used on our products and I think that is important. Another unique opportunity we have with the artwork is to take advantage of using the physical artwork. In March 2017, Brian Pinkney mailed me the actual artwork rather than scanning it and sending it digitally. It was a surreal moment when I opened the box that had the original watercolor pieces he created. This creates an opportunity for us to have these pieces framed and put on display, perhaps in our member libraries across the country and in our island territories. In addition to the changes in the artwork, we?re also anticipating some big changes to the manuals. We started small and contracted an editor and writers for the 2019 teen and adult manuals. While this change may not sound like a big deal to our member libraries now, it will be in a few years when we contract for all of the manuals. One of the reasons we decided to contract the manuals ourselves was to change the timeline of the manuals. This means that our members would have access to future manuals much sooner than they do now. As we get closer to the program year, material may be added to the downloadable version. We are also looking to reformat the print manual which begins with our first ever manual retreat for current and new manual chairs just prior to our annual meeting in Denver! BriAnne Newton has done a fabulous job of acting as the board liaison to the manual chairs, and leading the way to improve our manuals. One of the biggest changes we discussed at our board retreat in September is the move of the annual meeting from the spring to the fall. This change begins with our annual meeting in September of 2019. We will just have finished a Universe of Stories for our space theme and summer reading will still be fresh in our minds. (I know that for many of us summer reading is 365 days a year and is always fresh in our minds!) It will give us a better opportunity to discuss what worked well and ways to improve. Another reason I am excited about this change is that we will be rolling out the products with all of the big changes to the artwork, incentives and manuals at this time. Products will be available for hands on opportunities. This will be an opportunity to see everything first-hand instead of just in a catalog. But we?ll begin seeing some minor changes in just a few months at our annual meeting in Denver. There will be a hands on training from the Space Science Institute, an author visit via Skype, and even a possible Elvis sighting. CSLP is able to make these changes because we have two dedicated staff members who help the board carry out our mission. While the board is made up entirely of volunteers who all work diligently on CSLP projects in addition to our full time jobs, we would not be able to accomplish any of this without Karen Day or Luke Kralik. While change is not easy, I believe that as we grow as an organization, we can embrace these changes to better serve our members. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/deanne_dekle-1.jpg]Deanne Dekle CSLP Vendor Chair Youth Services & Outreach Consultant, New Mexico State Library I don?t think I?ve ever come out of a meeting or conference feeling as strongly about something as I did after the Board Retreat in September of 2017. The things we talked about and the decisions we made to move this organization forward were so inspiring to me, not only as a Board member, but a State Rep and a Youth Services librarian who had used the CSLP program every year I was in a public library. The Board is 100% committed to making the CSLP the best Summer Reading program and organization it can be. The kind of commitment I witnessed was really something special and I felt honored to be a part of it. Yes, the changes we discussed are big and scary and could go wrong but I believe it?s for the best and even if things do go wrong, we?ll learn from those mistakes and fix them to make CSLP an even better organization and program for libraries. It would be easy to stick with what we?ve always done and known, but the potential for so much more is within our grasp. We?re moving away from one company that we?ve had a great relationship with and who does everything for us: manuals, incentives, promotional items. We?re moving to take control and ownership of these things and finding other companies that can provide the same or better options for our membership. Right now we don?t know what we?re possibly missing out on but the possibilities for what we could end up with are exciting. As an organization we?re aware of so many of the difficulties facing public libraries these days: declining budgets, competition with other organizations in your communities, other resources people have access to for information. We believe the changes we?ll be implementing will allow libraries to have a little more freedom with their planning, purchasing (we have to make those dollars go a little further these days), and partnerships. We want the program to work for you. What our members? needs are and the new direction we?re heading in with different companies providing different items (based on their specialties) should accomplish that. Yes, there will be bumps in the road, especially in 2020 our first program year with the new changes, but if you just bear with us, we?ll all come out for the better. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/cathy_lancaster-1.jpg]Cathy Lancaster CSLP Board Member at Large Youth Services Coordinator at the Library of Michigan In the Fall of 2014, I received a message inviting me to attend the annual meeting for the Collaborative Summer Library Program that following Spring. I was excited but a little confused. I got the manual in the mail every year from the Library of Michigan and I guess I just thought it was simply a commissioned piece of work. ?You mean a summer reading conference?? I asked, thinking this surely had to be where we workshopped programs. No, it was explained, it is not quite a conference? Flashforward to April 2015, Rhode Island. I quickly learned that CSLP?s annual meeting was very work-focused and volunteers from across the country were relied on greatly to speak their minds and share ideas. I think that was the biggest eye-opener for me at my first CSLP meeting, was just how involved state reps and volunteers are, not just in framing the chapters for the manuals, but all facets of CSLP work. Members vote on artists, themes and slogans, often planning 3-4 years out. Insights on board decisions are shared and members often answer various surveys to shape the future of the organization and summer reading. As representatives from state after state lined up to vote on the 2018 theme, way back in 2015, it occurred to me how invested these fellow librarians are, and how much they reach out and listen to feed back from their fellow library staffers around each state. So, when I returned from CSLP back in 2015, I knew I wanted to continue to be involved. I knew I had to help bring progress and innovation to summer reading at-large. I guess that?s why I find myself on the board, it is a great group of passionate folks to work with and it allows me to bring the voices of my state to the table. If you?re reading this, then I know you are already passionate about summer reading. And I hope you, too, will volunteer to serve CSLP in one capacity or another ? there are so many opportunities! [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/sally_snyder-1.jpg]Sally Snyder Membership Chair Children?s and Young Adult Services Nebraska Library Commission Some of you know, and some of you may not, that I was CSLP President from September of 2007 to May 2009. After serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President I happily floated along in the CSLP lazy river content? knowing others were handling the boat/work/efforts. In 2017 I was elected as Chair of the Membership Committee. At the board meeting I attended at the end of the Annual Meeting in Charleston ? and when I joined the current board members at the in-person retreat in St. Louis last September, I found a lot of changes were underway. I am a ponderer and need time to consider ideas and my opinions about them. So we thought it best to give the membership the same opportunity, to think and ponder. I learned that while our current vendor does some very good things for us, we have exciting new plans for the future. An idea emerged to split the Request for Proposals into three separate documents. A vendor can now bid on one part of what we need. I believe the RFPs are split into paper items, incentives, and t-shirts. Working on a new Strategic Plan (they dragged me kicking and screaming into the room!) helped clarify our members? needs, requests, and dreams. See you in Denver! [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/elaine_betting.jpg]Elaine Betting Board Member at-large Youth Services Librarian Supervisor Lorain Public Library I remember my first CSLP Annual Meeting in Hershey, PA. I had no idea what this meeting was going to be like, but I remember being so excited when I got home because I had seen this group in action talking about themes, slogans, and manuals. It was like a library version of watching congress on C-SPAN! Now, we are trying to bring that excitement to front line librarians across the country. Through video and opening new opportunities for members to attend the Annual Meeting, we are bringing CSLP closer to the front lines. CSLP is working hard to find a way to make our products work for more libraries. I can?t wait to see how the new design house takes the amazing artwork of our renown illustrators and transforms it into graphics that really get to the heart of what libraries need. For those staff members who have never worked on a manual or who have never been to the Annual Meeting, CSLP can seem like this vague entity that just picks the slogans every year (love them or hate them), but we do so much more! I?m so glad that more librarians will be able to participate in this way and get just as excited about CSLP as they get about their summer reading program.

I was going to compile all of the responses and send them out, but the response I received from the always helpful Clare Membiela (see below) summarized the responses the best: when it comes to the laws governing such things every situation is different and there is no one, single answer. The absolute best thing to do is contact the Michigan Liquor Control Commision at 866-813-0011 option #1 and discuss your program idea or plan with them. Talking to your attorney wouldn't hurt either.?Dan Hutchins Director Van Buren District Library 200 North Phelps Street Decatur, MI 49045 dhutchins at vbdl.org http://www.vbdl.org 269-423-4771 On Monday, January 29, 2018 1:25 PM, "Membiela, Clare (MDE)" wrote: #yiv1389256912 -- filtered {font-family:Helvetica;panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4;}#yiv1389256912 filtered {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;}#yiv1389256912 filtered {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;}#yiv1389256912 p.yiv1389256912MsoNormal, #yiv1389256912 li.yiv1389256912MsoNormal, #yiv1389256912 div.yiv1389256912MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;}#yiv1389256912 a:link, #yiv1389256912 span.yiv1389256912MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv1389256912 a:visited, #yiv1389256912 span.yiv1389256912MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv1389256912 p.yiv1389256912MsoListParagraph, #yiv1389256912 li.yiv1389256912MsoListParagraph, #yiv1389256912 div.yiv1389256912MsoListParagraph {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;}#yiv1389256912 p.yiv1389256912msonormal0, #yiv1389256912 li.yiv1389256912msonormal0, #yiv1389256912 div.yiv1389256912msonormal0 {margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;}#yiv1389256912 span.yiv1389256912EmailStyle18 {color:windowtext;}#yiv1389256912 p.yiv1389256912Default, #yiv1389256912 li.yiv1389256912Default, #yiv1389256912 div.yiv1389256912Default {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;}#yiv1389256912 .yiv1389256912MsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;}#yiv1389256912 filtered {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;}#yiv1389256912 div.yiv1389256912WordSection1 {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 filtered {}#yiv1389256912 ol {margin-bottom:0in;}#yiv1389256912 ul {margin-bottom:0in;}#yiv1389256912 Hello Dan: ? I was *just* researching this type of question for another library. ? I believe the answer to this specifically for a tasting ?may lie in who you have administering the tasting (see MCL 436.2027, below). ? If you have an outside entity overseeing the tasting, then you may wish to consult with them on this question. ? The Michigan Statutes ?MCL 436.2027 details some requirements for retailers and distributors that are holding/conducting tastings. ? Tastings appear to be handled slightly differently than general alcohol consumption, again, depending on the specifics of the event. ? I located the attached letter from the MLCC that may help answer some of your questions. ? Alcohol consumption, in general, is possible in an unlicensed venue (think of a wedding reception, for example, or a private party), but there arespecific limits and much depends on the specifics of each situation (including Tastings). ? General alcohol consumption (as discussed in the attached letter from the MLCC) would seem to be legal in unlicensed venues under cerain circumstances, and subject to certain limitations (especially an expectation of payment or donations of any kind in exchange for participation in the event where the consumption takes place) ? A general discussion of alcohol consumption and the need for a license can be found here: ? https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dleg/Club_Licensee_Info_272130_7.pdf (pp1-2)? (discussing consumption or service by clubs ? but see pg 1-2 for a good explanation of , generally, when a license is required). ? See also MCL 436.1915 ?- you may also want to consult with your municipality in the event there are any restrictions vis a vis alcohol in public buildings. ? ? I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that you contact theMLCC inquiry numbertoll-free, at 866-813-0011, in order to obtain the correct answer for your particular event. It is also prudent to confirm any plan of action with your attorney, just to be safe. ? I hope this is helpful! ? Sincerely, Clare ? ? ? Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

Hi all, I know many of you have hosted wine tastings at your libraries. The Lawrence Branch of Van Buren District is planning a similar event. The idea is to have a?vendor out to host a free tasting for our patrons. I've done a bit of research and I'm having trouble determining the licensing requirements, if any, for such an event. To those with experience in this area I would be grateful for any insights you might care to share. Thank you! ?

Message-ID: 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.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Last time I looked at the MI laws they allowed remote access, as allowed by your institutional bylaws. What the law does not allow is proxy attendance, i.e. sending someone in your stead. So, Board members are legally obligated to attend but it does not have to be physically if your group allows other means for live attendance, such as via phone, remote video, etc. I can try to look up the specifics if you want but that was the gist of it last time I looked. -Steve Steven K.

Our library was recently approved for a building expansion by our Township Board. Most of the cost is covered by our Township but I am hoping to come up with a few ways to give the community a way to give toward the new building and be recognized in some way (and reduce the amount of money that the Township has to contribute if possible). If you do not mind sharing, has your library had a successful capital campaign or fundraising idea lately that goes beyond the buy-a-brick approach? Thanks for your help, Rob Bristow Library Director Georgetown Township Public Library 1525 Baldwin Jenison, MI 49428
