This course is accredited for 3 MLA CE Credits. This session is being offered to you at a reduced price due to a generous grant through MHSLA! When: April 19th, 2018 Time: 9:00am-12:00pm Location: University of Detroit Mercy, McNichols Campus Library. 3rd Fl, Rm 324, 4001 W. McNichols Road, Detroit, MI 48221-3038 **NEW: RECORDING** If you are unable to attend on April 19 in person, as a pilot, this CE will be recorded and made available after the in-person session. You will still be eligible to receive CE credit even if you watch the recording. Cost: $25.00 for MDMLG and MHSLA members $50.00 for Non-members $15.00 for Students $75.00 for Institutions (note: only the individual registering for the institution can receive CE Credit) Please register using the online form: (Click Here) by April 12th. Payment can be made through PayPal (Click Here) or by sending a check (mailing address is listed on the registration form) The overall goal of the class is for students to establish a basic knowledge of how the library contributes to the larger organization and to be able to present that value in financial terms. We hope that students/learners will follow up with their library's data, complete and submit their information to the Library Valuation Calculators in order to show the value of a larger number of libraries and to establish a benchmark for their performance. The course content will include analyzing mission statements, reviewing data and statistical concepts, analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data and exploring different ways to inform the hospital management about the library's financial contributions. Instructional methods include lecture, discussion, individual exercises. Students should have a basic familiarity with library-generated data (usage, costs, and different services). We look forward to seeing you! Thank you, The MDMLG Professional Development Committee Bethany Figg, MBA, MLIS, AHIP bethany.figg at cmich.edu Visit us online!

Did you know that MeLCat recently reached a milestone? On January 17, MeLCat filled its 10 millionth request. The title was: "A gift of glory : Edsel Ford and the Diego Rivera murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts : a play" by Karim Alrawi. It was requested by a Livonia Public Library patron and supplied by Oakland University. That success is thanks to the very hardworking men and women in the Michigan library community. Go ahead, take a moment to bask in the glory. Think of all the rubber band arguments it's taken to get us to this point! This is truly a group effort and I'd like to take this MeL Minute to give a well-deserved shout out to the library workers in every corner of Michigan who participate in MeLCat processing. Thank you!! And to bolster your own personal knowledge base of MeLCat lore, I'd like to share the following that Sean Cwiek of the Midwest Collaborative of Library Services dug up for us: * The first book request on MeLCat was made on January 10, 2005. The title was: "The Celtic collection : twenty-five knitwear designs for men and women" by Alice Starmore. It was requested by a West Bloomfield Township Public Library patron and supplied by Bloomfield Township Public Library. For those of you who are not knitters, Celtic patterns are very cool. * The most popular book in 2016 was: "All the Light We Cannot See" * How busy are we? We're very busy. Circulation varies, but statewide we average 90,000 every month. * How many libraries participate? It varies. Libraries drop out for a catalog migration, a move, or for the summer months, but it's right around 430. * How does that break down by type? a. Public - 354 (out of 398 public library systems) b. Academic - 52 c. K12 - 11 d. Combined Public/School - 9 e. Special - 3 * How many items are in the system? Well, when U of M joined we got a tremendous boost. As of December, there were 49,346,993 items in MeLCat. That's books, DVDs, CDs and audiobooks. 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.

They are excerpted below. We used to do that. Then they moved to the gymnasium of a local church so they could combine more activity. __________________ We didn?t have a support group per se, but one of our local home school co-ops reached out to me to do a library information class for their second graders. It was a great experience! We went over how to use the library resources, how to look at websites critically, we looked for books to read for fun. I?d be interested in what other libraries have experienced ? my hope is we can be a stronger resource for our local groups too. _____________________________ Homeschool groups provide great outreach opportunities. They can be hard to get involved with, remembering that they often have religious or other driving factors for the decision that is best for their family is important. I have found that it works best to ask homeschoolers what they want and start small to build trust. I have worked with my team at other libraries to build outreach with success. Currently, we are offering a program for the ?end of year? and a couple of small group experiences at HLPL. The most important thing, as I am sure you know, is to be prepared to do what they ask even if the image you have may be different from the one they do. In other words, to provide them with what THEY want rather then what you think they may want. _________________________________ We do have such a group. We?ve called it our ?Home School Advisory Board?, and I?m very pleased with how it is working. It took some time to get a core group of participants, but with patience and perseverance we?re now seeing an active and functioning group. I?m attaching a copy of the purpose statement. Some of the outcomes I?ve seen (in no particular order): - A place to ?plug in? for new home schoolers or home schoolers new to the area - Successful new programs at the library: weekly chess club, annual science fair, bi-monthly book-movie pizza night - New ways for the home schoolers to work together: performance days at local retirement communities, a budding archery club, play dates - Good dialogue between active patrons and the library, informing our collection development and making them aware of what we offer __________________________________ We have been running a weekly home school group for a number of years now. We have a solid group of regulars. We use unit studies for our home school programming. While this requires more work from us, the number/participation of home schoolers attending is well worth it. We are currently studying Native Americans. The students do an oral/visual presentation for their peers. We then follow with an activity which might be art, food, music or a game that applies to the study. The group is for grades 2-6th although we have a number of younger students that come with older siblings. We allot 2 hours. There are some unit studies available for purchase but we develop most of the studies in-house. The parents participate with the hands-on activities but otherwise they spend most of the time socializing. (lol) _________________________________________ Hope this will also help some of you who wanted to see the replies. Thank you to everyone who responded!

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. Does someone at your library make a flyer each week showing a list of the new books with smaller cover art? Any other ideas?

Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W. Main Street Owosso, Michigan 48867 989-725-5134 ?We have a blog and a New Item area.( Also, when it comes to Patterson, there is always a new book out.) Donna Janke djanke at cromaine.org Hi Melissa, That's exactly what we do at Belleville -- make a flyer every week with new and interesting titles. One of our circ staff (who also processes the DVDs and CDs) puts it together for us every week. I think she loves getting the chance to be creative with it. It's a text list broken into categories, but she also adds cover art of items she thinks will be of particular interest. Plenty of regular patrons stop to check the list and then put holds on what catches their interest. We also have a scrolling list of new items on Enterprise, but the popularity of the paper list hasn't diminished. Hilary Savage Assistant Director Belleville Area District Library 167 Fourth Street Belleville, MI 48111 (734) 699-3291 ________________________________ Hi! This is Barb from the Southgate Veterans Memorial Library. What we do every Monday is print out a copy of the New York Times best seller list and tape it to the circulation desk. We do this just for the hardcover fiction and hardcover nonfiction, but they get good results. Oftentimes it's the older crowd who looks at it, and I'm guessing that goes directly hand-in-hand with the non-computer savvy folks, too. Hope this helps! Dear Melissa Huisman, When I worked at a public library, we would make text only copies of best seller lists (fiction/nonfiction) to give out when asked. With some popular romance titles/series, we would have about 5 patrons that would get put on automatic hold for some series because of a request. If someone knows they are a Patterson fan and you are willing to do that, they could get first dibs hold for those types of items? I do not think we did that with our more popular fiction authors. I know it can be frustrating to be 147th patron waiting on a book. There was never a book display in a way that was holding new books before allowing them to checkout. Hope that is helpful. We do not have this issue here as students seem to have little time for leisure reading. Sincerely, Saxony Betts Digital Technology/Reference Librarian Email: sbetts at kettering.edu Phone: (810) 762-7815 1700 University Avenue ~ Flint, MI 48504 Melissa, We have a chalkboard that lists the title and the author of our brand new titles and those who are deemed "hot new releases". Our older patrons find it helpful to have the visual of what is available. Alycia McKowen Director Seville Twp Library Riverdale, MI 48877 P: 989.833.7776 seville.michlibrary.org Melissa, Once a week I print two NYTimes bestseller lists - the hardcover fiction and hardcover nonfiction. I print only page 1. I highlight titles we own and write down their shelf location, e.g. BIOG, Lucky Day, etc. -- Karla Gibson Adult Services Librarian Wixom Public Library 49015 Pontiac Trail Wixom, MI 48393 248-624-2512 I think one of the greatest things we ever did at Herrick was create an express collection or marketplace/bestseller collection where we buy multiples of hot titles and exclude them from holds. Obviously that requires and investment, but the idea is that you can always walk in and find an abundant selection of bestsellers. We started with money from the Friends of the Library. We turn over the books to them when they're not super hot anymore and they resell them in their shop. So we minimally process them to keep them nice. We have express for fiction and feature movies. Works really well. Kelli Kelli Perkins Collection & Digital Resources Manager Herrick District Library 300 S River Ave, Holland MI 49423 616.355.3718 kperkins at herrickdl.org I post what's on order, so patrons can check for upcoming titles from favorite authors (see attached) You can also post the New York Times Bestsellers list each week, ?A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work." Lisa L. Wood Branch Manager Quincy Branch Library 11 N. Main Street Quincy, MI 49082 517.639.4001, ext. 401; 517.278.2342 (fax) At my previous library we used automatically yours from baker and taylor. I would take the arrival lists and dump into a spreadsheet which could then be sorted by arrival date. It worked great for folks who wanted to know what was coming up. We highlighted the titles as they arrived, so patrons would know what was now available, but not on the shelf ;) It didn't have fancy book covers or anything like that, but it was simple and worked well for our dedicated (not tech savvy) patrons. Good Luck! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Andrea Ingmire Library Director Peter White Public Library (906) 226-4303 (office) (906) 250-0080 (cell) (906) 226-1783 (fax) We print out the New York Times Best Seller List (Hardcover) from Sunday's paper each week and highlight the books we have and put it on display on the New Book Shelf. This may not cover all of those with a list, but it covers most of them. [cid:image001.jpg at 01D3B20B.F27366F0] Arlene Wall Support Services Manager arlene at salinelibrary.org 734-429-5450 We make copies (pulled off the internet) of the cover. Then place them on the book ends by our new book section. The patrons can see what titles are new (we keep five months but you could cater to what works for you). Tera Talaska Manager Presque Isle District Library 181 E. Erie St. Rogers City, MI 49779 989-734-2477 ext. 223 We have a display of new (this month) items in the library and a separate shelf space for new (6 months) items, but, as you said, this is just for items currently available. Our new ILS, Apollo, lets patrons sign up for automatic holds on new releases by their favorite authors. They're really loving it and so are we. No more "hey, hold this for me when it comes out" lists. But, without that, we didn't really have anything. We don't have the staff to generate a handout like that and too many items anyways. Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing what responses you get. Cynthia Stanczak Library Director Albion District Library 501 S. Superior St. Albion, MI 49224 (517) 629-3993 Once a month we send our an eNewsletter and introduce new books and other items. We also put a slide on our website with new items. Cindi L. Place Reference & Technology Librarian Boyne District Library (231)582-7861 placec at boynelibrary.org cindiplace at gmail.com We print a list of titles that are on order and will be released the following month. So the holds can be placed ahead of time and the books circulate as soon as they are released. no cover art. it's two sided sorted one side by author name and the other by release date Patti Skinner pskinner at mcdlibrary.org We are going to be switching over to Apollo next month and are looking forward to using their automatic holds on favorite authors but we also use Wowbrary! which is a weekly newsletter/Facebook posting that automatically inquires into our ILS to find our new adds on Friday night and creates an email that shows what?s new at the library and also lets us put news and event postings into it and then it is sent out Saturday morning. Patrons subscribe to the email but it also automatically updates the link on our website so people can view the weekly posting from there. We are also sent an email on Saturday from the Wowbrary! providers that gives us a link to put up a Facebook post with all the cover art already preformatted. Here is a link to last week?s posting: http://www.wowbrary.org/nu.aspx?p=2855--GEN&combine We have several patrons that will put items on reserve Saturday and others that come into the library inquiring as to what they saw on the email so we print out a copy Saturday morning so it can be referenced by patrons at the circ desk. It is a great service that we have used for several years and we love it. We pay $500.00 per year and I don?t remember if that is based on our library size or not but it?s worth every penny. For the luddites we have the weekly printout at the desk. ? Mark Morton markmorton at lelandtownshiplibrary.org Dear Melissa, Our Tech team wrote a program to pull newly added titles for display on our website. Most cover images are provided by a service called Syndetics. This could then be made into or added to your OPAC screensaver https://www.tadl.org/books/ We post the current NYT Best Seller list with our "Hot Title" collection. This collection goes out for two weeks is not holdable and is $1/day if late. There's generally at least one regular copy for holds for each "Hot" title. We have 10 copies of the new Danielle Steel on order, 7 regular for holds and 3 "Hots" for grab and go. We get copies of BookPage magazine to distribute to patrons. A catalog record is created when items are ordered so reserves may be placed before the item is available. If you are on any standing order lists you could make a poster or calendar with the author title and release date. I think Baker & Taylor won't accept orders earlier than 60 days before stated release but I don't deal directly with ordering so that may be off. Unless you're prepared to maintain spreadsheets you would probably not want to take holds more than that anyway. Regards, Katheryn Carrier Reference Traverse Area District Library 610 Woodmere Avenue Traverse City, Michigan 49686 USA 231-932-8502 Reference Melissa, We have a dedicated ?new item? section close to the front service desk. All new items (they are considered ?new? for a year) are shelved there. We also post the New York Times Bestseller list weekly near the front service desk. We have both the fiction and nonfiction lists and highlight what we own. That way, people can peruse the list and know what?s new even if it?s not on the ?new item? shelf. Hope this helps. Holly Hentz Director Hamburg Township Library 10411 Merrill Rd. P.O. Box 247 Hamburg, MI 48139 810.231.1771 Hamburglibrary.org Hi Melissa, We print out copies of the New York Times bestsellers list for Hardcover Fiction, Hardcover Nonfiction, and How-to, Advice, & Miscellaneous each week. We put one list on one of the shelves in the New Book area in our circulation lobby and one at the reference desk on the counter top. We also do the same with Young Adult Hardcover Fiction and put one at the reference desk and one in the Teen area. In the Teen area, I also post pictures of book covers on a bulletin board as new Teen books come in. I don?t get as a high a volume of new Teen books as the adult department does, so this isn?t too onerous a task. I imagine it would probably be more difficult trying to keep up with the new ?hot? books and bestsellers for the Adult Dept.

You also have the option of looking at a list of "What's new" with drop down menus for the GMD, and the options of 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months. With regards to your heading, Patterson ALWAYS has a new book out. We joke that there is at least one Patterson book in every box of books that we receive. :-D Ann Eau Claire District Library We post a print of the weekly bestseller lists in the new book area. May be old school for some but we have folks who really appreciate it. Donna Donna Olson dolson at ssldl.info Hi Melissa! We copy the Publisher's Weekly bestsellers page and put it on display in various areas around the library. There is no cover art that I know of, just the lists of titles. Tammy Tammy Turgeon Director Sterling Heights Public Library 40255 Dodge Park Sterling Heights, MI 48313 586-446-2640 Director Suburban Library Cooperative 44750 Delco Blvd Sterling Heights, MI 48313 586-685-5750 Hi Melissa, We put small colored cover art for the titles expected soon based on our standing order plan/recent orders. See the attached ? you can have multiple copies of the base poster or a larger base poster depending on your space for display. We allow patrons to request titles before they are released/received, if you don?t, you might want to limit your cover art to titles that have arrived. ? We used to create a new flyer with approximately 10-15 titles every month, that worked OK, but now we have the laminated base poster and just switch the cover art! Easy and great for our patrons! ? Megan Megan Buck meg at dcl-lib.org Another thing we did ... but no longer do is to load book cover jpegs onto an electronic photo frame. Staff loved it. Some patrons did. But when it went down for a couple days, no one noticed. It's gone and the paper remains. Donna Olson I put together "Coming Soon" flyers each month when I order new books. The flyers list the new titles by the most popular authors. We're a smaller library (I order about a hundred titles a month, total), so it doesn't take more than about 30 mins to put them together (one each for fiction, large print, and audio books), and they seem to get a lot of use. Hope this helps! Chelsea Our system is not high-tech at all, but works pretty well: we generate a list of high-demand books, give it a lick and a polish with some color or graphics, and post it at the desk. This is generated monthly and includes both ?new? and ?coming soon?. We do a second list for AV. Absolutely! I have attached the fiction and large print versions from last month. We don't order a ton, so I usually include two months out. I change up the template colors with the seasons. Chelsea Hello Melissa, We post a list of the best sellers from Publisher's Weekly on our new book shelf area and we also have copies of BookPage that they can pick up. The Friends of the Library pay for the subscription to BookPage which lists new books coming out and gives reviews of them. Our online catalog has a scrolling display of the book jackets of new books the library has just added to our collection also. I hope this is some help. Francene Sanak Library Director Trenton Veterans Memorial Library 2790 Westfield Rd. Trenton, MI 48183 phone 734-676-9777 fsanak at trenton.lib.mi.us ________________________________ Hi Melissa, I work at a small branch of a system, but at my branch we keep a copy of NY Times Bestsellers, and highlight the titles which our branch owns. It may not always list all of our newest titles, but it covers the major releases at least. That way, even if it's checked out they can easily see we own a copy and ask to be added to the holds list. Marla Hi Melissa, I previously worked for a library that ordered extra copies through lease and then a certain number of them were placed on a ?New & Hot? shelf. It would be the books with the high demand, high holds list, etc. This ?new & hot? shelf would have different rules for circulation, patrons couldn?t place holds on these titles, the books checked out for a shorter time frame and couldn?t be renewed, they were just on a first browse, first get basis. It helped with titles that had really long hold lists, but also helped satisfy the browsers.

I know it takes time -- thanks for sharing your experiences! Here are the responses I've received: Hi Sharon, I've had two beer tasting events at the Marcellus Library. I checked with other libraries who had Mid Michigan Breweries ( who had already done the research) and also my insurance company. As long as you do not charge, you can hold a tasting. We provided pizza and did not charge for anything. Just make sure everyone is over 21 and check ids at the door if they look young. I'll probably do it again in the future as it was a very popular and fun event. Good luck! I have heard of libraries sponsoring coloring events at a pub. We have had three tastings involving local wineries, and I would think breweries would work in a similar fashion. We have also had four beer tastings, but we use local beer experts, not a brewer. I do know the MLCC has changed some of the rules, but I have not seen anything that absolutely prohibits the involvement of wineries and breweries. (I feel compelled to say that I am not a lawyer or any other sort of expert, so please confirm what I say.) The only prohibition we?ve encountered is that representatives of the winery (or a licensed distributor) cannot pour. You have to hire your own servers?who have to have undergone some sort of training. Anyone who has worked at a bar or a restaurant has probably (or should have) undergone the training. The winery or brewery reps can offer instructional information but cannot sell at the tasting. They can tell you how and where to buy it and how much it costs, but no money can exchange hands and, obviously, no booze can exchange hands. All the wineries I have dealt with are very aware of the regulations, and I have had little problem. I have no idea if he would respond to you from this posting or not, but in case not, contact our Programming Manager here at Kent District Library. For a few years now we have had a winter series of programs called ?KDaLe?. He might be able to give you some help with this. Kip Odell kodell at kdl.org 616-784-2007 (This number is our main switchboard. His extension is 2165. I?m not sure if you can dial direct or not, but when someone answers, ask for him by name and say you have a KDaLe question. J ) I forgot to mention: You can compensate neither a vintner nor a brewer beyond the purchase of the wine or beer. The regulations say that they cannot ?benefit? which is where your gift certificate gets bounced. They have to volunteer. On the other hand, they cannot donate any alcohol. You must purchase it (which you may do with donated funds?we have a sponsor so we avoid using tax revenue to buy alcohol) at full price including sales tax (even if you don?t usually pay sales tax). Whether you charge for the event or it is free to attendees, you will have to file a Sales Tax form. I always submit the receipt showing I paid sales tax when I purchased the alcohol then explain in a letter that the program was, like all library programs, free and open to the public (at least that portion of the public that has attained legal drinking age). A couple of years ago we had a local brew pub demonstrate home brewing techniques at the library. After the program, the attendees were invited to drive to the brewpub for a tour and free samples. Everyone had a great time at both locations! Kalamazoo Public does a huge ?Kalama-Brew? fest every January and I?m sure they would have loads of good advice for you. We recently had this type of event, and we did indeed hold it off-site at a local brewery. It was very well-received, and the first program we?ve had in recent memory that had more men than women in attendance, so we were pleased with the outcome! Good luck to you! Hi Sharon. I?m not sure if this is the same thing you are wanting to do but Delta Township District Library near Lansing used to do home brew contests and I?m pretty sure it was in the library. Robert Chartrand, who is now at East Lansing Public Library, may have set those up and would be a good person to ask about all the ins and outs. It didn?t involve a brewery but it did involve home brewing and tastings. Robert Chartrand Circulation Supervisor rchartr at cityofeastlansing.com Phone: 517.319.6943 You could contact Delta as well about it but I am just not sure if the same staff are there that did that programming. I know the East Lansing Public Library also has a fundraiser each spring called Books, Bites and Bids and they offer beer during the fundraiser which is held in the library. Not exactly the same as what you may want to plan but you may get a good bit of information from Robert since he is at ELPL now. The laws of what breweries can do are pretty strict including "giveaways" or "prizes". It is possible to offer gift certificates if you pay for them but I can't remember all the things you need to avoid labeling it as. It might be difficult for a free event. For tastings a brewery can only offer them onsite or a licensed merchant account (store). However, you should be able to get a special event permit to serve alcohol (if zoning allows). In this case you would have to buy the beer from the brewery and serve it. This is what a lot of small festivals or fundraisers do. The breweries are there but the event organizer has gotten the permit and paid for all the kegs. The permit process is online and can be a bit involved if this is a small event. It can make sense if it is a fundraiser like a small festival but it may be too much for just a demonstration. They may have made it harder for "free" events but in the past I've done some. If they scoff at free you might be able to do some sort of ticketing that gets around it. The easiest way you would be able to do this is to partner with the brewery and have them host it if that works for them. They could show brewing on the home and commercial scale and since it is on site they would be able to serve samples. We did a How To Homebrew program a couple of years ago and just used a gentleman that sells home brew supplies. There was no brewery involved. He did have a few samples of things he and some of his customers had made. We had this same issue a few years ago and decided to re-direct the program. We ended up calling it "The Science of Home Brewing" and focused on chemical reactions, fermentation, and the like. We had a panel of a high school chemistry teacher, as well as a home brewer who talked about and passed around equipment and talked about techniques, and finally a local brewery owner talk about the commercial side of brewing. The home brewer passed around different types of hops and malt, which can be sniffed and tasted (chocolate malt and roasted malt taste very different. Not a great "snack" but people were still interested in the idea and the flavors and smells.) I think an off-site event is a great idea, though, if it is possible. Meet at the local brewery and have them give people tours and do a talk about brewing. We have a book club that meets at our local brewery, and it is one of our best-attended discussion groups. We are planning a presentation by a brew pub and they will have a slides only showing. We thought we could give out "attendance sheets" that they could then take to the brewery and they would give them a discount on the first beer purchased. Does this cross any boundaries, that you know of? We held a program much like what you?re wishing to do, but with no tasting. Instead, the brewery showed the different stages of brewing with the contents in mason jars. They also had different types of hops so people could smell them. It was very interesting and much enjoyed by the public. We have had a winery come to do a program and talk about the process of making wine. There was no alcohol involved. But, we did do a tour of a local Brewery with tastings afterwards. It worked really nice because they got some extra business from the tour and patrons got to see the ?behind the scenes? of the beer making process. They have a bar attached so people stayed for dinner. It was well attended and having it off the library site didn?t seem to hinder attendance. Hello! Oh the darn laws of this land! HA! If I had a brewpub directly in our community, I would hold the event there, and see if there is still interest. I would imagine people would still attend an off-site event. I think it's a great idea, and I'm sad it won't work for you! Could you do the program at the brewery? We have several programs at our local brewery and the winery also, including trivia nights, banned book club, and informational presentations with tastings of the differences in hops. I would love to know the results of your findings regarding the "How to home brew" program. We have a new local brewery that just opened up and I am friends with the owners, so I know this is something they would love to do in coordination with us. We have already talked about doing a "Babes, Books, and Brews" book club in the summer months. This would take place at the brewery and after library hours (off the clock, so I can indulge in a good brew). We love to tie in local businesses with our library programming. -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

More info can be found at: http://www.kevinfittonwriting.com/ Thomas Moore Adult Services Librarian Delta Township District Library >From Kevin's site: I offer a workshop called, "Telling Your Story." Geared toward those who have a story they want to tell but don't know how to put it together, this workshop is appropriate for beginning writers who want to learn about the basic components of a story and how those components fit together. *"The Telling Your Story Workshop provides excellent instruction on the craft of storytelling. In this workshop, Kevin breaks down the art of writing into specific components with concrete examples and exercises. This class inspired me to take an idea that I had rolling around in my head and make it into a story that will interest my readers."* *-Sonya Schryer Norris* _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l at mcls.org http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l -- *Elisabeth Phou, MLIS* Adult/Teen Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 W.

I am not extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of sound. Our community room does have an analog speaker system installed where there is an amplifier and then you could hook into that to make the sound disperse through round speakers that are in the ceiling of the room. (These round speakers are throughout the library they are standard in lots of places. we use them for our PA System). My question is does it make sense to convert the optical sound from our new tv to analog and run the wire through the ceiling to the amplifier (this is a fair amount of work.) or will we get the same or better sound from a sound bar? Do any of you have experience with using sound bars in your community rooms? Our room is roughly 25 feet x 45 feet.

I received 9 responses. 3 of the libraries have games for in house use or programs. I will give you a summary of the other responses. 1. Games signed out on a sheet of paper. They find duplicate games at rummage sales etc. to resupply missing pieces. 2. When cataloging they keep an inventory piece list on the inside of the box and put the pieces in zip top bags with the contents listed. They count pieces and either charge patron if it is an important part or 3-D print a replacement. 3. Check out and use the honor system on pieces. 4. Cataloged with a list of how many pieces and an description inside the box top. Charge a fee for lost pieces. 5. Check out but do not count pieces. 6. Cataloged with a detailed list in the general note that lists all items included. Our library will be purchasing a board game collection. I am using them to try and promote family time during our summer reading program. I will be cataloging them for circulation. We have decided to itemize each piece on a list inside the cover. We will deal with piece loss as they happen and based on importance and replacement costs. You can email me if you want any more specific information from the responses. Tanya R.

One letter asks members of the House Appropriations Committee to fully fund the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the second does the same for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. Why It Matters The battle for domestic spending is becoming more intense, and Congress is looking for programs to cut. The more members of Congress who sign these letters, the better the chance that the Appropriators will preserve the funding for the LSTA and IAL programs. And as you know from our previous emails, these programs represent the bulk of the federal funding that is provided for libraries. Under the rules of LSTA, states are required to match one third of their federal contribution. Any cut to LSTA in the FY 2019 budget will likely lead to a cut in library funding at the state level. Additionally, IAL is the only dedicated federal funding provided for school libraries. What You Can Do Now Many Representatives will only sign on to a "Dear Appropriator" letter if their constituents ask them! Use the ALA Action Center to send your representative an email and ask them to contact Rep. Raul Grijalva's office to sign on to the LSTA letter and Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) to sign on to the IAL letter. Time is short - the deadline for the letters is March 19th, so don't delay! Send an Email Send a Tweet Not sure if your Rep. has signed yet? Check our tracker. Need more information? Check out our lastest post on District Dispatch. And stay tuned! The Senate will soon be circulating "Dear Appropriator" letters of their own.

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, Could you name the libraries with the highest circulation numbers of 2017? We asked the State Library Data Coordinator Joe Hamlin for some information from the most recent Public Library Survey and learned MeLCat is number 12!

In January 2017, a grand total of 101,366 items were loaned! We've only gone up from there: this past January 105,178 items were loaned through MeLCat. Our best guess as to why January is such a popular borrowing month lies in the traditionally slowest month: December. After a break around the holidays it seems Michiganders are kicking everything back into gear in January! Who knows, maybe it is all those New Year's Resolutions? All we know for sure is that the success of MeLCat would not be possible without two elements: LSTA funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and all the countless library staff around the state who make sure it continues to run.

These revised competencies place a significant emphasis on serving children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Moreover, among the goals listed in the 2017-2020 ALSC Strategic Plan is the development of an online cultural competency training to be made available for members of the division. The ALSC Education Committee is looking for presenters for online webinars relating to equity and understanding social identifiers such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, ability, size, age, and more. The committee also invites proposals for additional topics related to diversity and inclusion. Some example objectives for webinars might include (but are not limited to): ? Participants will be able to explain how social and cultural factors impact the emotional, behavioral, social, and literacy development of children. ? Participants will be able to explain strategies for supporting culturally competent library service to children, including strategies for programming and collection development. ? Participants will be able to name and describe various systems of discrimination such as classism, racism, and ableism. ? Participants will be able to articulate the importance of enacting culturally competent library service to children. ? If you are interested in presenting a webinar, proposals may be submitted to http://www.ala.org/alsc/online-education-proposal. ALSC webinar presenters are compensated $100 for developing the webinar. Questions may be submitted to ALSC Education Committee Co-Chairs Rachel Reinwald (rreinwa2 at gmail.com) or Danielle Hartsfield (danielleforest at gmail.com).

We bought Hoopla for the streaming movies but what our patrons use it for the most is ebooks and eaudio." "We actually have both. Kanopy is mostly movies ? some great foreign and indy films, as well as great courses. Hoopla has some movies, but they also have books and music as well. It?s our first year and we will be seeing how it works and how expensive it gets. We only allow four checkouts per month per library cardholder." "I don't think there's any comparison. Hoopla is primarily an ebook and eaudiobook platform for us and includes the ability to download content. The movies don't make up the bulk of use-we have far more book downloads. Kanopy is a streaming only platform which is only movies and documentaries and it's more for a specialized audience and to gain access to more documentaries, shorts and art house films which aren't feasible for physical purchase. Because it's streaming only, it will only serve families who have internet availability. We have both and I think the crossover audience for Kanopy is a subset of the Hoopla users." "We have hoopla because it is so much more than just films. It has an incredible Comics collection, (pretty much every major publisher including DC and Marvel) and has a good variety of audiobooks, ebooks, and music. The TV series and movies aren't bad but I wouldn't say it was their strength. " "We added both services at the GPPL this year. Kanopy is exclusively for video content, while Hoopla has a range of video, ebooks, and audiobooks. Hoopla?s main advantage seems to be in the variety of audiobooks, while the film selection from Kanopy is quite impressive. They both follow the ?pay per use? model, so you could conceivably add both, and select a relatively low circulation limit per patron. They are both great services that our patrons are really enjoying!" -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director *"Sometimes it's fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a teen Dungeons & Dragons group that meets twice a month. I usually average about 30 kids. A few of the kids have been behaving badly (running around, not listening, disturbing the other kids, etc.). I'm just wondering if any libraries out there have a similar problem and how they've handled it. I have 3 other volunteers that help run it. We were thinking of having all the kids and their parents sign something like a behavior contract. We would outline the rules and it would be a "3 strikes you're out" policy.

I have worked with Peter, he is very dedicated to ALA, and he does a lot of work within the association already. I support his bid for ALA President. And for what its worth, his husband is from Escanaba! -Steve ________________________________ From: ALA on behalf of Peter Hepburn (ala at ala.org) Sent: Thursday, March 8, 2018 3:10 PM To: Steven Bowers Subject: Vote Peter Hepburn for ALA President [Peter for ALA logo and headshot] https://www.peterforala.org Hello! I?m Peter Hepburn, Head Librarian at the College of the Canyons, a community college in Los Angeles County. I?m asking for your vote for the 2019-2020 ALA Presidency. Let me tell you why. WHAT ALA NEEDS STABILITY: With a new executive director to be hired and in place by the end of the 2019-2020 presidential term, ALA will undergo a dramatic change. For a new ALA executive director, there will be a steep learning curve and a need for a capable partner in the president. Being able to draw on the president?s wealth of hands-on experience across ALA?s roundtables, divisions, committees, and governance will put the new executive director on solid footing for a successful career within ALA. I have that experience to share. We also must not lose sight that we are operating in a broader context of national political and social uncertainty that, among other things, affects users of our libraries in profound ways. ALA needs to navigate this environment carefully to ensure support for libraries and for policies that relate to the values that matter to us as an association. Knowledgeable leadership for the association will be essential to this work. SUSTAINABILITY: ALA is not an association in crisis, but we do face challenges to association sustainability and growth. Membership fluctuates but has retreated from its peak several years ago. Conference attendance has trended downward, and publishing has not met revenue targets for some time now. On the plus side, the endowment continues to grow, facilitated by fundraising initiatives from our Development Office. ALA?s reputation is solid, and lawmakers in DC express respect for our association. As your president, I will encourage our successes and work with the Executive Board, Council, as well as the divisions and round tables on strategies to address concerns in the areas where we face challenges. WHAT I CAN OFFER My work in libraries stretches back over twenty years and encompasses public, research, and academic libraries. My ALA career has most recently included a term on the ALA Executive Board and appointment to the Budget Analysis and Review Committee (BARC), but also election to Council, conference committee work, and other financial committee work. My roots within ALA are even deeper. I have found a home in the round tables, especially the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table, and in ACRL on the divisional side. I belong to several round tables and divisions, and have done board and committee work in some of them. My history of experience and involvement within ALA gives me deep understanding of the association as a whole, an overview of how the pieces fit together and work. My website, www.peterforala.org, includes a full overview of my ALA and other professional experience. MY COMMITMENT TO ALA My vision for ALA is one of organizational stability, sustainability, and even growth. In the presidential year, I will ensure that important work within ALA, such as addressing matters of equity, diversity, and inclusion and the work of the Task Force on Sustainability, is supported and comes to fruition rather than putting forward a new presidential initiative. As an active and engaged ALA member for the past 18 years, I have a firm grasp of the critical issues that face our association and our libraries, and a clear vision of what ALA needs from its president. My time in the association has shown me that any ALA president must be able to address a variety of issues. I offer ALA the deep and wide-ranging experience in the association that lends itself to the work that needs doing. My networks within the association are broad, and my understanding of the structure and governance of ALA is sound. I am keen that ALA flourish through the years ahead, and that my presidency will build the foundation needed to ensure a strong American Library Association for the future. I am eager to work for you, for libraries, and for our library users, for this association. I ask for your vote for the 2019-2020 ALA Presidency.

Message-ID: Just checking in, hoping all is going well for March is Reading Month! A reminder to keep track of your programming numbers around I Got the Rhythm, as well as your outreach. Details and a link to the survey are in the message below. A reminder that this year's programming guide is specifically designed around the ECRR 5 practices and laid out for storytimes. There is still some confusion around whether this is school-aged or not; it is aimed at ages 0-5 and their caregivers. For details go to: www.mi.gov/readytoread. If your library needs additional copies of the book for outreach, please contact me directly off-list. If an educator or school contacts you requesting a kit there is a link provided on the website to a form for them to complete.

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.

I called her number and got her voicemail. I explained about the Michigan Humanities Commission and the book being a Michigan read. I did not hear from her again. I can only suspect what her problem with the book was. So if you see that letter to editor let me know!

Kalamazoo, MI ? Monday, March 12, 2018. This weekend is all about Kalamazoo Public Library (KPL) as it hosts two of its biggest annual programs back-to-back. 2018 Reading Together: Meet Author Matthew Desmond On Friday, March 16, 7-9 pm, the 2018 Reading Together featured author Matthew Desmond will visit Chenery Auditorium. Desmond will discuss his research and motivation for his book Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, which won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize, National Book Critics Award, Carnegie Medal, and PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction. This Meet the Author event is free and open to the public. No ticket is required. Copies of Evicted will be available for purchase from Michigan News Agency. A book signing will immediately follow the presentation. In his brilliant, heartbreaking book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the stories of eight families on the edge. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible. About Reading Together: One Book, One Community The purpose of Reading Together is to build a stronger community with deeper connections through the common experience of reading the same book and exploring its themes together. When we do that, we engage and learn, not only about ourselves, but more importantly about each other and the world around us. Learn more about Reading Together and this year's list of events at readingtogther.us. KPL thanks the 2018 Reading Together sponsors, Friends of Kalamazoo Public Library, Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, Kalamazoo Community Foundation and Stryker Johnson Foundation as well as many community partners. 15th Annual Teen Filmmaker Festival On Saturday, March 17, Kalamazoo will roll out the (metaphorical) red carpet for the 15th Annual Teen Filmmaker Festival.

The Historical Society of Michigan is looking for individuals with an interest in history and education to serve as judges for the 2018 Michigan History DayR State Finals. Judges help inspire a younger generation by evaluating entries, conducting brief interviews, and providing feedback to students. The most important quality for a judge to possess is an 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 History Day entries. New judges will be placed on teams with seasoned veteran judges to evaluate participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to students. Register to be a Michigan History DayR Judge Today! The 2018 Michigan History DayR State Finals will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2018, at Bay City Central High School from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. To register, call (517) 324-1828 or complete the online registration form on our website. Michigan History DayR is a yearlong educational program that encourages students to explore local, state, national, and world history. Additional information about Michigan History DayR can be found on our website or by calling our office at (517) 324-1828. Don't forget to register! We hope you can join us this year! Thank you for your support of Michigan History Day! _____ _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

The info sheet in the thread is indeed accurate. One thing about the info sheet that may need an addition: Federal law prohibits firearm ownership for anyone in the following groups: Federal law establishes the baseline regarding the types of persons who are ineligible to purchase firearms. The federal Gun Control Act of 1968 , codified at 18 U.S.C. ? 922, generally prohibits the sale of firearms to any person who: - Has been convicted of, or is under indictment for, a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year;23 - Is a fugitive from justice; - Is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance;24 - Is underage;25 - Has been adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution;26 - Is unlawfully in the United States or has been admitted to the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa; - Has been dishonorably discharged from the military; - Has renounced his or her U.S. citizenship; - Is subject to a court order restraining him or her from harassing, stalking or threatening an intimate partner, his or her child or a child of a partner, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child; or - Has been convicted of a misdemeanor offense of domestic violence.27 I believe Michigan adheres to these guidelines as well from what I have gathered.

Our current shelving is 22" wide, 60" high, and, ideally, 9' long - however we could create 6' sections if we had to. My questions for anyone out there with movable shelving are - Where did you purchase your shelving from? What are the dimensions of your shelves? What type of flooring do you roll them on? Do you have any words of caution or advice? At this time, our head of facilities plans to do the installation, if you also took on a project to retrofit shelving with casters and have a recommendation (or warning) on a type of caster, we would also appreciate learning from your experiences!

Dykhuis has been the Executive Director of MCLS since its creation in 2010. Prior to that, he served as the Executive Director of the Michigan Library Consortium (MLC) for 15 years. Dykhuis helped craft the formation of MCLS, which came about through the combination of MLC and the Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority (INCOLSA). Both MLC and INCOLSA were formed in 1974 to promote resource sharing, develop online bibliographic management, and present training and continuing education for their respective memberships. MCLS continued those traditions as a two-state consortium while moving in significant new directions. Board President Eva Davis stated, "Randy's leadership and vision laid the foundation for the success of MCLS, and his ability to execute our strategy has resulted in the high-performing organization we are today. We have Randy to thank for laying this groundwork as we move into the next phase of MCLS's evolution." Dykhuis led the organization as it made the transition from two single-state consortia to one regional consortium. Shepherding more than $25 million annually in e-resources contracts, creating a compelling training and continuing education calendar, supporting and helping evolve the Michigan eLibrary, and most recently starting a consulting service, MCLS demonstrates its ongoing commitment to serving libraries of all sizes and types. Over the past eight years, MCLS has evolved its services and programs to make it more responsive to its diverse membership. Recognizing that the work of consortia is constantly adapting to a changing environment, MCLS embarked on a strategic renewal process in 2013. By adopting the turning outward framework of the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, MCLS engaged in a series of community conversations that has resulted in significant reorganization and shifts within the organization. "We have been members of MCLS since the beginning, and I am most impressed by the way Randy and his team sought input from the membership and the way they acted upon what they heard," said Robert Roethemeyer, Vice President of Strategic Planning and Mission Execution and Director of the Library at Concordia Theological Seminary and former Board president. "I am grateful to have been part of the progress that libraries in our region have made in the last 20 years," said Dykhuis. "It's been an honor and privilege to have worked alongside so many outstanding librarians, the Board of Directors, and the MCLS staff. We have demonstrated the power of collaborative action and how much we can accomplish by working together." Scott Garrison, Dean of the Library at Ferris State University and Vice President of the Board, will chair the search committee. Information about the timeline and process for hiring a new Executive Director will be shared with the membership in the upcoming weeks. About MCLS MCLS is a non-profit, member driven organization whose mission is to facilitate sharing resources and knowledge among its members and to collaborate with other organizations to benefit Indiana and Michigan libraries. ##### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Patrons may not behave in a rowdy manner, stare at another person, follow another person about the building, play audio equipment so that others can hear it, sing or talk loudly, use profane or abusive language, or behave in any manner that can reasonably be expected to disturb others."

If "inclusion for all" fits your library's mission, check out the free webinar below, brought to you by InfoPeople. By 2030, projections indicate that 25% of the US population will be 65 or older. This means that libraries will be serving a steadily increasing number of older patrons and their care partners. This webinar will help you understand and adapt to these users' changing needs. During this one-hour session you'll experience an empathy-building aging simulation activity. We'll also address biases on aging and how to communicate with older adults who are confused. You will have the opportunity to recognize what you are already doing well, and learn how to hone your skills in meeting the unique needs of individual patrons in this age group. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: * Increase their awareness and knowledge concerning various aspects of the aging process * Develop empathy for older adults' functional losses and related feelings * Identify at least one thing you are already doing well in meeting the needs of older adult patrons (and their care partners), and one action you can take to enhance the elder-friendly environment at your library Register Now!

It?s really more of a guest editorial of about 600 words. The PNR?s coverage is throughout many library districts. Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City directors rotate the writing duty. Once in a while we have a guest librarian from one of the other neighboring libraries take one of the columns. The librarians decide up front what topics to write about, to keep us from overlap. We have written about a wide variety of topics ? from censorship and selection ? to volunteerism and professionalism ? to programs and books. We have been doing this for about a year and it seems to work out very well. Lots of good feedback from our patrons. If you go to the Petoskey News website and search for library guest commentary ? quite a few of them will pop up.

Thanks so much for all of your help and the time it took to comment on this difficult issue! I was asked to share the responses, which follow. Thanks, again! Because this is such a touchy topic, I strongly suggest you contact your attorney. We had our attorney re-write our weapons policy last year in light of the issues. Anne Seurynk of Foster Swift. ____________________________________________________________________ Our attorney wrote our policy to discourage weapons in the library, but not prohibit them, as the laws do not allow that. It is also flexible to take into account that laws can and do change from time to time. See #12 in our patron rules of conduct. ?Carrying guns, pistols, firearms or other weapons is prohibited, except where carrying such guns, pistols or firearms is (1) specifically permitted by law and/or (2) exempt from local regulation by law.? ____________________________________________________________________ The result of the CADL v. Mich Open Carry court case was indeed to confirm that public libraries may not impose restrictions on firearms that are not already a matter of State Law. I have attached an information guide that I wrote covering this topic. Please note that this guide does NOT yet include any information on any firearm or gun bills that are currently in consideration in the legislature, or that have been considered in the wake of the Parkland shooting. I hope it is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance. [I?ve attached it to this message since its 8 pages long and I believe it has been shared directly] ____________________________________________________________________ To my knowledge it has never been permissible for libraries to prohibit weapons. GDL has the following section in our Patron Code of Conduct: ?3. All weapons are banned from Library premises to the fullest extent permitted by law.? In practice, we tell our staff to contact local police whenever they see a gun. The philosophy behind this is, a) If it is a concealed carry they shouldn?t be seeing it, b) If it is open carry they cannot legally ask the person to leave, c) no staff should confront a person carrying a guy, we leave that to trained law enforcement. We also have active shooter procedures as follows: If outside the building (if steps can be done SAFELY) 1. Barricade all outside doors. 2. Get all individuals on the floor and out of the line of fire. 3. Call 911 and report your location. 4. Remain calm until an ?all clear? is given by authorities. 5. Call your emergency contacts. If inside the building (if steps can be done SAFELY) 1. Flee to safe place if possible. 2. If not, barricade yourself behind a closed door. 3. Wedge something under the door OR 4. Slide heavy object (desk or file) against the door OR 5. Tie door shut with a belt or fashion tie. 6. Get on floor an out of the line of fire. 7. Call 911 and report your location. 8. Remain calm until an ?all clear? is given by authorities. 9. Call your emergency contacts. ____________________________________________________________________ Open carry/concealed cannot be restricted by libraries. The info sheet in the thread is indeed accurate. One thing about the info sheet that may need an addition: Federal law prohibits firearm ownership for anyone in the following groups: Federal law establishes the baseline regarding the types of persons who are ineligible to purchase firearms. The federal Gun Control Act of 1968, codified at 18 U.S.C. ? 922, generally prohibits the sale of firearms to any person who: ? Has been convicted of, or is under indictment for, a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year;23 ? Is a fugitive from justice; ? Is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance;24 ? Is underage;25 ? Has been adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution;26 ? Is unlawfully in the United States or has been admitted to the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa; ? Has been dishonorably discharged from the military; ? Has renounced his or her U.S. citizenship; ? Is subject to a court order restraining him or her from harassing, stalking or threatening an intimate partner, his or her child or a child of a partner, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child; or ? Has been convicted of a misdemeanor offense of domestic violence.27 I believe Michigan adheres to these guidelines as well from what I have gathered. -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, On February 14th, the LearningExpress Library platform underwent a major update to the user interface. Overall, you'll find the platform has a cleaner, sleeker look. Under the surface, however, is an easier site to navigate. The most obvious change is the removal of the carousel, which has been replaced with full access to all learning centers and their respective categories from the homepage. Another improvement is relocating the keyword search box to the center of the homepage to make it more prominent. Guidance has also been improved to be more topic-specific. You'll now see a "Learn More - Guidance" tab when browsing resources by topic. All of these changes have resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of clicks to get to tests, tutorials, and eBooks, making access easier for patrons. And the new and improved site has been optimized for performance and is responsively-designed for use on smart phones and tablets, making it even more accessible to patrons on-the-go! The new enhancements present a great opportunity to reintroduce LearningExpress Library to colleagues and patrons, and to promote it in your community. LearningExpress has made it very easy to do so with a link dedicated to promotional resources that does not require login. Promotional tools are also available in-product on the Administrators & Librarians tab in the grey footer of any page of the site. Once there, click Help Guides to access all promotional resources, including instructions for Creating Direct Links to each learning center. Creating direct links increases the number of access points for LearningExpress Library on your website, thus maximizing the visibility of this important resource and ultimately driving patron usage. LearningExpress has something for everyone in the community; it's just a matter of spreading the word! [cid:image003.png at 01D3BC61.7F0A7E00]Brought to you by the MeL Team.

Senate Bill 7026 would permit librarians, counselors, and coaches to carry firearms in Florida Public Schools. In the statement, they said, ?While we are all too aware of the gun violence that affects the communities that we serve, including our schools, we do not believe that allowing the arming of school librarians with guns is the answer to preventing violence and mass shootings. Schools need more resources, including the expertise of a certified school librarian for teaching and learning." http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/03/ala-and-aasl-release-joint-statement-florida-senate-bill-7026 Jason Reynolds calls school libraries 'places of recognition for young people' in new PSA A new public service announcement featuring New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds is now available from the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) as part of the 2018 celebration of School Library Month. In the PSA, Reynolds speaks to how school libraries are places of refuge and recognition for students who want to feel less alone. School librarian professionals and advocates for school libraries are encouraged to download and share the PSA throughout their communities in celebration of School Library Month. Reynolds is the bestselling author of ?Ghost,? ?Patina,? ?Long Way Down,? and ?Miles Morales: Spider-Man.?

The grant is part of IMLS?s Community Catalyst initiative, which examines how libraries, archives, and museums can work collaboratively with their communities to improve community wellbeing. ?Libraries, archives, and museums have distinctive abilities and assets, such as their relationships, knowledge, and spaces, that can be leveraged to bring about positive community change,? said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. ?The word ?catalyst? refers to how these essential institutions can spark ideas, energy, and action around a community?s vision.? The Community Catalyst funding opportunity encourages applicants to use innovative, collaborative approaches and to explore new project partners within their communities. The definition of a proposed project?s community and desired impact is unique to each applicant. Successful proposals will draw on collective impact methodologies, social well-being indicators, asset mapping, and other approaches from the community development field. In addition to receiving IMLS funding, applicants may be considered for technical assistance through the Environmental Protection Agency?s ?Building Blocks: Sustainable Strategies for Small Cities and Rural Areas and Supporting Equitable Development? program.

Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference is held annually in the Wayne/Oakland/Macomb tri-county area and is open to anyone interested in state or regional history. Snap! Crackle! Pop! Kellogg's Cereal In 1898, W.K. Kellogg and his brother Dr. John Harvey Kellogg experimented with food products and discovered how to flake wheat berry, and in turn, corn. This discovery led to corn flakes-and the rest of the story is history. Kellogg's cereal is now one of the most recognizable brands in American cereal and is sold in more than 180 countries. The cereal box pictured is a Rice Krispies box from the 1930s. Are you looking for a fun way to volunteer? 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.

URL: From mhuisman at hudsonville.org Tue Mar 20 09:21:11 2018 From: mhuisman at hudsonville.org (Melissa Huisman) Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 13:21:11 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Bibliotheca maintenance agreements Message-ID: <35F0E43D07E5FF40AAC3169C44D28CF644FAAA8A@HUD01.hud.local> Thank you all very much! A mixed response - probably because libraries have more of their products than just the self- checkouts. Five said it was good to have the maintenance agreement. A couple said it was too expensive and it was easier to pay for the service visit. There were some that kept the agreement for one product and not for another. One mentioned that they were slow to respond in minor issues. Also - software upgrades may be more difficult without an agreement. (From Liber 8 to Quick connect). Thanks again! Bibliotheca Maintenance Agreement Questions: Hi! Can anyone who uses this company for their self check outs give me their opinion as to whether to continue with the maintenance or not? Thanks! Melissa Huisman, Library Director Gary Byker Memorial Library of Hudsonville 3338 Van Buren Street, Hudsonville MI 49426 Phone: 616-669-1255 X 5 Fax: 616-669-5150 Email: mhuisman at hudsonville.org Melissa, We used to pay Maintenance on pads and self-check. We now only pay on the self-check and I believe it is worth the money. The equipment is expensive to replace and you will not get software updates unless you do. We have a 4 year old machine and have called for service 3 times. Each time our software needed an update also. There is no way to get this except from Bibliotheca. In the future I don't think we will buy from them since the original cost seems to be more expensive, but until then it seems to be cheaper to pay the maintenance fee. Mary Russell Assistant Director Tamarack District Library 832 S Lincoln Ave, Box 469 Lakeview, MI 48850 989-352-6274 tamaracklibrary.org Hello, Melissa. We currently have 5 Bibliotheca self-checkout machines. We are looking into EnvisionWare currently. However, if we do stay with Bibliotheca, then I do absolutely recommend their maintenance program. We used to have AV unlockers. Those things would break daily/weekly. However, since we have removed them, we have had little trouble with them. However, if you do need maintenance and you don't have a contract, the fees just to come out are astronomical. We do not have a service agreement for our gate counter. It costs over $1,000 every time they come out. From my experience with Bibliotheca, they have to be called at least once or twice a year. It ended up being cheaper for us to go on their service agreement for the self-checkouts. Good luck in your decision! Kathy McKinney | System Specialist Troy Public Library |510 W. Big Beaver, Troy, MI 48084 | Office: 248.619.7583 |troypl.org Melissa, The Roseville Public Library installed Bibliotheca gates eight or nine years ago and paid for the maintenance package. We used it a lot the first three years due to problems settings that the Bibliotheca techs were using and a few bad parts. Then we didn't need service for two or three years. I discontinued the almost $3,000 maintenance agreement on our two sets of gates (one singe, one double) two years ago since the gates are so old. We haven't had any problems and it was a chance I was willing to take. Other libraries told me that their service calls ranged from $500-$700 - must less expensive for one or even two a year compared to the maintenance agreement. Regards, Jacalynn Harvey Director Roseville Public Library Melissa, If you can afford the maintenance agreement then you should continue with it. I find them to be helpful and they know exactly what they are doing with the machines and gates if you have them. Thanks, Carla D. Archer, Support Services Coordinator Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Rd. Southfield, MI. 48076 carcher at southfieldlibrary.org 248-796-4320 Good afternoon, Checkouts, Smart Chutes, RFID Pads (workstations) to name just a few. Our school of thought on Maintenance & Support is as follows: * If we can't fix it ourselves and it needs to be working within 24 hours, then purchase the maintenance & support contract. * If we can't afford to throw it out and buy a new one when it dies, then purchase the maintenance & support contract. * If we expect to receive updates to remain current (e.g. new functionality and bug fixes), then purchase the maintenance & support contract. The above philosophy is the same we use for all of our Technology from our Network Equipment to File Servers to Phone Systems to Microsoft Office Products. Most Enterprise Technology (Hardware & Software) all offer maintenance & support agreements. It is one of the most often misunderstood & overlooked costs of running an smooth operation. The best analogy I can give you if you don't purchase it is like not purchasing Oil Changes for your car. Your car will run for a while, but IT WILL eventually have problems without doing the required maintenance. The same thing can be said for your IT Equipment, including Bibliotheca Equipment. Eventually you will wish you had it because the little cost every year will be far less than buying the new one later. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Lance As you saw from Lance's message to you, KDL uses many of the Bibliotheca products - Self Checkouts, Smart Chutes, RFID Pads (workstations) to name just a few. Our school of thought on Maintenance & Support is as follows: * If we can't fix it ourselves and it needs to be working within 24 hours, then purchase the maintenance & support contract. * If we can't afford to throw it out and buy a new one when it dies, then purchase the maintenance & support contract. * If we expect to receive updates to remain current (e.g. new functionality and bug fixes), then purchase the maintenance & support contract.

Eventually you will wish you had it because the little cost every year will be far less than buying the new one later. Again, if there is anything I can do to help, even if it is talking through options with you, don't hesitate to call. I totally understand not every Library System has the same budget, but we all are trying to make what we do have stretch further and further. So the principals are the same and I would be happy to discuss anytime. Thanks, Kurt Kurt Stevens IT Director Kent District Library 814 W. River Center Drive Comstock Park, MI 49321 C: 616-293-7094 | kstevens at kdl.org Hi Melissa! I canned the agreement the first year I started at ODL, five years ago. We were paying 8 GRAND A YEAR!!!!! I am happy to report that it was a wise decision. I had them out once and even with their insanely high rate for service I think that one call out was only a couple hundred bucks. We used the $8,000 saved to create an Early Literacy Center. Hope you are doing well. Andrea Andrea Estelle, MLIS Library Director Otsego District Library There was one other larger library that mentioned that the support that they received from Bibliotheca for minor issues was not very fast. They had other concerns as well about the 3M/Bibliotheca merge and software/hardware support/updates.

The memorial will be held in the Berkowitz Gallery, 3rd floor Mardigian Library. Are you interested in sharing a memory or short story about Teague at the memorial? If so, contact either Nadine Anderson (nfanders at umich.edu) or Jamie Wraight (jwraight at umich.edu). If you cannot attend or don?t wish to speak, a memory book is being compiled for the family. Please send your favorite thoughts, stories, or memories to Nadine or Jamie. Teague received his Bachelor in General Studies at the University of Michigan in 1991 and his Master of Library and Information Science in 1999 from Wayne State University. He worked as an Assistant Librarian at the University of Detroit Mercy from 2000 to 2001. Teague joined the Mardigian library in 2001 as an Assistant Librarian and worked his way to Librarian in 2014. During his 17 years at the Mardigian Library, Teague impacted many students with his passion and dedication. As our Social Sciences Librarian, he was passionate about teaching and supporting students. As our Research Education Coordinator, he provided valuable leadership, expertise, and experience. He was known in the library and across campus as a respected collaborator in teaching and research, as well as a valuable member of our community. Teague?s passion for information literacy along with his publications, presentations, and leadership enriched the field of academic librarianship. Most of all, we will remember him as a great person who made us laugh. We are establishing an endowed scholarship in Teague?s memory for UM-Dearborn students. To contribute, contact Eva Gogola by email at egronows at umich.edu or by phone at 313-593-5495 <(313)%20593-5495>.

We had approximately 50 libraries sign up. We are doing it again this summer so I?m sending out this google form and the below description to see if other libraries are interested in participating this summer. Google Form https://goo.gl/forms/zZMYkWXhjxuf2RB23 Children are encouraged to participate every time they visit by drawing pictures and writing general letters about what it?s like to be a kid where they live. We?re not looking to do one-on-one exchanges between children, because there?s no guarantee of continued participation and we don?t want any kids getting heartbroken because of someone else?s inability to regularly participate. In the case of my library I have a bulletin board space where I hang the letters and pictures we receive and place a mailbox for our patrons to place the letters/cards/pictures they want to send. I periodically gather those items and send them off to other participating libraries. We also kept track of where we got letters from on a map with flag pins. This year I?ve proposed the option to libraries about whether they wish to mail freely or have an assigned partner library. Please fill out the google form if you?re interested in participating, and please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Thank you!

BIBFRAME: An Overview Tuesday, April 3, 2 - 4pm Eastern (1 - 3pm Central) This course will provide an overview of the developing BIBFRAME project, intended to replace the MARC21 standard. Topics will include: * An Overview of the history of its development * An introduction to RDF and linked data concepts * An overview of BIBFRAME and how it implements various standards and models (RDF, vocabularies) * Examples of BIBFRAME records and current projects * Tools currently available to work with current MARC records to BIBFRAME conversion Child's Play: Cataloging Children's Materials Wednesday, April 4, 10am - 12pm Eastern (9 - 11am Central) In this course, we will: 1) Explore the possibilities of value-added cataloging, 2) be able to identify and deal with the anomalies found in cataloging children's materials, and 3) know how to use cataloging tools and resources available for this special focus. We'll start the course with some thinking about why we even want to catalog children's materials. We will discuss some of the irregularities that occur with cataloging children's books (board books, books with moving parts, books with no words, etc.), kits (for example books with accompanying stuff -- CDs, plush toys), and "realia" (puzzles, toys, games). We will talk about several ways to add value to the catalog record -- ways to tie in with curriculum, reading levels, reading programs, library programming and displays, and just generally providing some depth to the data available to the catalog user. RDA for Non-Catalogers: What Do I Need to Know? April 5, 2 - 4pm Eastern (1 - 3pm Central) Have you thought that your catalogers been talking a new language lately? Using terms like RDA and FRBR? RDA Resources, Description and Access is the new cataloging standard, implemented in 2013 to replace AACR2. FRBR is part of the infrastructure of this new code. What does this mean to the non-cataloger? What kind of changes should library staff and the end user expect to see as a result of RDA? What are some of the major changes between AACR2 and RDA?

The Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act amends the U.S. Copyright Act to ensure compliance with the Marrakesh Treaty. Adopted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2013, the Marrakesh Treaty requires countries to enact copyright exceptions that allow the creation and distribution of accessible format copies such as braille, audiobooks or digital files. Neal stated, ?The Marrakesh Treaty was a monumental accomplishment five years ago, and libraries were central to its architecture. The Treaty?s ratification by the U.S. Senate and adoption of the Treaty Implementation Act will be a turning point in global information access: it will allow U.S. libraries to create and share accessible format copies of books and other materials across borders to persons with print disabilities ? something that 36 other countries are already able to do." http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/03/ala-hails-marrakesh-treaty-implementation-act-possible-turning-point ALA names Hayden honorary member Carla D. Hayden was elected to honorary membership in the American Library Association (ALA) in action taken by the ALA Council on Sunday, February 11, during the Midwinter Meeting in Denver. Honorary membership, ALA?s highest honor, is conferred in recognition of outstanding contributions of lasting importance to libraries and librarianship. Hayden was nominated in recognition of her passionate dedication to equity of access and her historic appointment as the first woman and first African American to the post of Librarian of Congress. Prior to this historic appointment, Hayden served as director of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore for 23 years. There she transformed the deteriorating library system into a vital community service agency. She ensured that the city?s libraries offered a broad array of services to assist residents from all walks of life, providing them with access to the internet and digital collections. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/03/ala-names-honorary-member Intellectual freedom breakfast at ALA Annual Conference welcomes New Orleans journalist The ALA Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) will host an Awards Recognition and Fundraising Breakfast from 7:30 a.m. ? 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 23, 2018, at the 2018 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans.

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, In an effort to demonstrate the importance of IMLS funding to MeL and the enormous impact it has on the lives of every day citizens, we commissioned a series of short videos. Beginning in January, we started featuring one a month on the MeL homepage. All the videos live on our YouTube channel in a playlist called Celebrating MeL. We'd like to encourage you to share these videos on your own social media channels. We find that the shorter videos (those lasting about 30 seconds) have the highest rate of viewer completion and we have six of those. They're perfect snippets for embedding on Facebook, Twitter, or your other favorite social networking platform. Just go to the video, click on "Share" beside the thumbs up and thumbs down icons, and this functionality will be available to you. It gives your patrons a feel-good way to support the library by Liking your posts and also provides them with some information they may not know about services they use regularly. Our longer videos also have strong viewer completion rates and they give us time to tell a story from multiple angles. Don't miss them! * MeLCat Patrons (2:35 minutes) - A very nice collage of MeLCat patrons from all over the state talking about their positive experiences with the service. * MeLCat Staff (3:15 minutes) - A behind-the-scenes look at MeLCat with a short tutorial for the new MeLCat user and an explanation of what it can do for them. * MeL Databases for Adults (3:50 minutes) - An introduction to a variety of MeL's great subscription resources for adults. * MeL K-12 Databases (3:08 minutes) - Sings the praises of using MeL databases in the classroom and beyond for Michigan's K-12 learners who need research help. Hear the voices of teachers as well as high school students. * MeL Impact in the Classroom (3:32 minutes) - Hear the voices of teachers and students about how MeL can help with school work as well as in their personal lives. Here are some links to reach the short videos. They're quick, impactful, and were created specifically for social media: * MeL for Small Libraries (37 seconds) - The value of MeLCat for small libraries, especially demonstrating how it assists in augmenting smaller collections. * MeL Helping Authors (39 seconds) - This video isn't just for authors but it does an impressive job of showing some very practical, real-world help that MeLCat can provide to residents. * MeL Movies, Music and More (33 seconds) - This video shows the breadth of materials available in MeLCat. * MeL Databases (35 seconds) - A moment with Academic OneFile and General OneFile with Calvin Battle of Jackson District Library * MeL in the Classroom (32 seconds) - This is the quick impact video showing how MeL can help teachers to help students succeed. * MeL Behind the Scenes (36 seconds) - A succinct summary of MeLCat from Sean Cwiek at MCLS talking about the moving parts behind the scenes. A great way to give a sneak peek to your patrons who may not have thought much about what goes into MeLCat.

The Board of Trustees of the Des Moines (IA) Public Library seeks a forward-thinking and creative Director to develop and implement collaborative, community library services. The library serves 215,000+ residents from a central library (an architectural icon) and five branches anchoring neighborhoods by providing convenient access to library programs.

Noted for being one of Expedia's Most Artistic Towns in America and one of the Top 10 Places to Live in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report, 2017), the city is a hub of government action, business activity, arts and cultural affairs-with much of the activity focused on the reinvigorated downtown area where the central library is a centerpiece.

I am looking for libraries that have a level or area that is primarily unstaffed and out of sight of staff members in other areas. Do you have added security measures in those areas (security cameras, a doorbell, etc.) to compensate for the lack of a staff member? If there is an outside entrance to that area do you keep that door locked some, or all, of the time to prevent people from entering? Is it only open when staffed? How has the way you've secured the area affected its use by the public and how has the public reacted? Please contact me off list at jshirtz at uproc.lib.mi.us with any input you'd like to share.

One year ago, the White House proposed eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and slashed millions of dollars in federal funding for libraries. Twelve months and tireless advocacy efforts later, ALA advocates have helped libraries: * win $9 million more for IMLS than it had in FY2017, including $5.7 million for the Library Services and Technology Act. * restore $27 million for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program. * provide $350 million for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Congress also appropriated an unexpected $700 million for Title IV education programs, which opens doors to new funding for school libraries. On top of the good news about funding for libraries, Congress added a policy provision that has been on our advocacy agenda for years: Congressional Research Services (CRS) reports will now be published online by the Library of Congress, ensuring for the first time permanent public access to valuable government information. The path through the FY2018 appropriations process has been long. One lesson from this budget cycle is that when libraries speak, decision-makers listen. At critical points in the process last year, ALA members from every U.S. congressional district responded to our calls to action. As a result, a record number of representatives and senators signed our FY 2018 "dear appropriator" letters last spring. As the House and Senate Appropriations Committees worked on their respective bills last summer, ALA members made more targeted phone calls and visits and leveraged their local media to tell their library stories. Our advocacy earned bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress. The persistence of library advocates has paid off for every single community in our nation, from big cities to small towns. This is a time to honor the power of ALA's advocacy. This is also a time to strengthen our resolve. The FY2018 budget passage represents a major win for libraries ? a win that needs to fuel even more aggressive efforts to advocate for federal library funding in FY2019. To protect federal library funding, we need to keep reminding Congress that libraries bring leaders and experts together to solve difficult problems, that we deliver opportunities, from academic success to work-readiness. We need to invite elected leaders into our libraries to see what we do for their constituents with a small investment of federal dollars. And we need to engage our library users and other community leaders in this important work. ALA's Washington Office will continue to provide the expertise, strategy and resources that have helped make our advocacy so effective. To get involved, visit ala.org/fundlibraries. Again, congratulations on a job well done!

We hope that by opening the submission process to a wide group of library professionals, we'll discover the perfect book to read together! How this works: * Go to the Google title submission form and submit one or two titles for consideration. Submissions will be accepted until Monday, April 16, 2018. * MCLS staff will consider all submissions and narrow the list to four titles. We will then ask for votes on our Facebook page in early May. We'll tally the votes and announce the selected title near the beginning of June. * Once the title has been selected, start reading!

In addition, please read the Jessen article that shows how students in our poorest communities and largely black communities have the fewest school libraries and librarians.

La Grange Public Library (IL) Message-ID: Executive Director-La Grange Public Library (IL) Learn. Explore. Connect. If you are excited about strategic emphasis on Service, Engagement, Awareness, and Space, the La Grange Public Library invites you to consider becoming its next Executive Director. The seven-member Board of Trustees seeks an Executive Director who will commit to developing, enhancing and supporting new library services and programs for the community. The La Grange Public Library serves 15,600+ residents from a centrally located and highly accessible downtown building (completed in 2007). Key opportunities for the next Executive Director include implementing the current strategic plan, mentoring and working collaboratively with Library staff and community stakeholders, completing the 2018 Library renovation project, and growing new partnerships with external agencies and organizations. With a vital staff (26 FTE), a dedicated Library Board, and a $3 million annual budget, the Library seeks the leadership of a visionary and innovative Executive Director. La Grange, an award-winning village founded in the 1800s, today bustles with activity including shopping, dining and entertainment. The community encourages and supports a wide variety of independent retailers and creates fun and enriching events that attract young families. Anchored by the La Grange Village Hall, downtown is the vibrant heart of the community offering residents an opportunity to come together, socialize, and celebrate. Some of the buildings date from the 1890s, when retail and commercial businesses began to flourish. In addition to an active and energetic downtown, La Grange is known for its historic residential district, its pedestrian-friendly environment, and its excellent public schools. When people visit La Grange, they want to stay! Two train stations and a public bus system provide easy access to nearby suburbs and downtown Chicago. Additional information on the Library, La Grange and the position can be found at La Grange Links. Responsibilities. The Executive Director works closely with the Library Board and staff to fulfill the Library's mission in serving the community. This position administers all library activities and services as directed and outlined in the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Executive Director also plans, organizes, develops and administers the operation of the Library. As the face of the Library in both the La Grange and greater library community, the successful candidate will model the standards and philosophy of service the Library Trustees, staff and community have come to expect. Qualifications. A master's degree in library science from an ALA-accredited program and five years of progressively responsible professional public library experience-at least three years of which demonstrate management ability in administration, budgeting, planning, and supervision-are required.

The organizers are thrilled to welcome nationally-known genealogy speaker Kelli Bergheimer. She is a member of both the Genealogical Speakers Guild and the Association of Professional Genealogists. This is Ms. Bergheimer?s first appearance in the area, and we anticipate a great day of learning and networking with this enthusiastic and experienced teacher. Select topics for this year?s event include ?Genealogical DNA Testing for Beginners,? to help you sort out the pie charts and percentages in a DNA report, and what it may mean for your family tree research; ?Preparing for a Library/Archive Visit BEFORE You Go,? allows attendees to benefit from lessons learned during years of research in libraries and archives of all kinds. The presentation ?Things I Wish I Would Have Known When I Started,? offers tips for beginners and helpful tricks for more seasoned researchers. Finally, ?How to Clear the Mess on Your Desk,? reinforces the importance of organization and provides approaches for taming the post-its, scribbled notes, and backs of envelopes into methodically ordered means for your research, maximizing your time and resources. Participants in earlier editions of this seminar have commented on how much truly useful information is imparted in this fast-moving, well-organized event. Pre-registration is now open at the discounted price of $25.00, or $30.00 on the day of the seminar. Lunch is available for an additional $7.00; light refreshments are included.

Why? Because chances are that your local schools do NOT employ school librarians. Only *8%* of Michigan Schools employ a full-time certified school librarian and only 18% employ either a full or part-time school librarian. (See chart below). Michigan ranks 47th in the nation in terms of the ratio of students to school librarians and ranks *46th in the nation in 4th-grade students scoring proficient or above in reading* as measured by the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP). One of the SLJ articles referenced by Deb Kachel lists Michigan as one of the states that have lost the highest percentage of FTE School Librarians between 2009-10 and 2015-2016. A graph of the loss of certified school librarians in Michigan is found below. Jim Neal, ALA President, in his March article for American Libraries states: "In this environment of inter?dependency, we, as a family of libraries, must embrace advocacy for school libraries as foundational to the success of our collective work for students who love to read, as we prepare them for college, career, and life." https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2018/03/01/fight-for-school-libraries/ In addition, April is School Library month! This has been recognized by Governor Snyder in his proclamation of April as School Library Month in Michigan. bit.ly/MIaprilslm Thus, April would be a great time to send letters to local school board members and superintendents. A sample letter which can be personalized can be found here: bit.ly/MIslltr Michigan MUST support effective school libraries supported by certified school librarians in order to improve literacy in our state. Thank you for sharing the April 2018 *Phi Delta Kappan* article "Why school librarians matter: What years of research tell us" by Deborah Kachel and Keith Curry Lance ( http://www.kappanonline.org/lance-kachel-school-librarians-matter-years-research/) widely; but, thank you especially for sharing it with local school boards and superintendents.

Our research is gaining attention and has been published by School Library Journal and Phi Delta Kappan. Here are the links. In addition, please read the Jessen article that shows how students in our poorest communities and largely black communities have the fewest school libraries and librarians. Jessen poses this as a ?canary in the coal mine? harkening of a resegregation of schools, led by the charter movement that has the least library services for students due to no oversight. I hope you find these articles helpful in your work to ensure that all K-12 students can learn with adequate school library services.

La Grange Public Library (IL) Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Executive Director-La Grange Public Library (IL) Learn. Explore. Connect. If you are excited about strategic emphasis on Service, Engagement, Awareness, and Space, the La Grange Public Library invites you to consider becoming its next Executive Director. The seven-member Board of Trustees seeks an Executive Director who will commit to developing, enhancing and supporting new library services and programs for the community. The La Grange Public Library serves 15,600+ residents from a centrally located and highly accessible downtown building (completed in 2007). Key opportunities for the next Executive Director include implementing the current strategic plan, mentoring and working collaboratively with Library staff and community stakeholders, completing the 2018 Library renovation project, and growing new partnerships with external agencies and organizations. With a vital staff (26 FTE), a dedicated Library Board, and a $3 million annual budget, the Library seeks the leadership of a visionary! and innovative Executive Director. La Grange, an award-winning village founded in the 1800s, today bustles with activity including shopping, dining and entertainment. The community encourages and supports a wide variety of independent retailers and creates fun and enriching events that attract young families. Anchored by the La Grange Village Hall, downtown is the vibrant heart of the community offering residents an opportunity to come together, socialize, and celebrate. Some of the buildings date from the 1890s, when retail and commercial businesses began to flourish. In addition to an active and energetic downtown, La Grange is known for its historic residential district, its pedestrian-friendly environment, and its excellent public schools.

Message-ID: MLA 2018 Annual Conference program and poster proposals are due this Sat. March 31. MLA 2018 Annual Conference October 17 - 19, 2018 Suburban Collection Showplace, Novi The MLA 2018 work group seeks a variety of program and poster proposals that will address topics representing the wide-range of professional responsibilities found in libraries. Library professionals interested in sharing their insights, experiences and knowledge are invited to submit a program or poster proposal for consideration. Presenting a breakout program is your opportunity to showcase best-practices, introduce creative new ideas and solutions to challenges facing Michigan libraries, or share your stories of successful collaborations or programs. We encourage participation from librarians, staff and administrators from all types of libraries! Are you working on a new project, but don't have results ready to present a formal program? Consider presenting a poster session, where you can discuss important topics with peers in an informal setting. A good poster session focuses on one main theme, presents useful information, and stimulates discussion. It's a great way to jump into presenting without building a full-blown program. Ready to submit your proposal? The submission form can be used for both program and poster proposals: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MLA2018Novi Visit MLA on the web for complete details or download the Call for Programs and Posters (pdf).

Bailey St Cheboygan MI 49721 mbronson at cheboyganlibrary.org 231-627-2381 ------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jessica, We have a few areas like the ones you noted in your email ? and I will do my best to sum up what we have done to help with security. First, we keep all exits other than our front door locked. All patrons enter and leave through the same set of doors. We have keypad locks on all our interior doors (to access of computer lab, meeting rooms, staff areas, etc.) so that it is easy for staff to gain entry but members of the public cannot open doors we have closed. This is particularly helpful in our Reference Room. That room is out of the view of our desk area and has a door that leads directly into our back workroom. Having access for staff is very helpful, and knowing the public cannot stroll through that door is very reassuring.  For the most part, we unlock the doors to our computer lab and meeting rooms in the morning and leave them unlocked. The keypad lock on those doors has a deadbolt we can open or close with the code. Our Local History Room is the located the farthest from our desk. That room has also had issues with vandalism.  We still unlock the door in the mornings, but now we keep it closed with a sign asking patrons to check at the desk. They aren?t actually restricted from using the room (and our emergency exit is in the back of the room so we probably can?t lock the door during open hours anyway) but the sign and closed door have taken care of the issues (for now!) Finally, we are going to be installing security cameras this year in conjunction with our interior redesign. One big motivator for the cameras was a new hallway that will be created with this project. The hallway will be used to access our handicapped restrooms and a quiet study room and will have no visibility from the desk. The quiet study room will remain locked (due to its location) unless requested for use.  Hope that helps give you some ideas!  Megan Megan Buck Director Dickinson County Library 401 Iron Mountain Street Iron Mountain, MI 49801 (906) 774-1218 www.dcl-lib.org meg at dcl-lib.org During my time here, it has always been that way. We often get requests to have access through the courtyard door - especially in the summer. We use either the excuse of safety or the fact our people counter is only located on the front door to help explain why we limit access. Most people are understanding, but there is always going to be someone who wants something "special"! :) One thing that helps us is the fact we have one parking area - so we don't have doors that appear to be the most logical "front door" for a parking area. :) Megan ---------------------------------------------------------- Jessica, Our Children's Area is in the Lower Level (read basement). Under a previous director, the floor was frequently closed during the school day with a sign in front of the staircase that told patrons to ask at the desk if they would like to use it. Many people found it off-putting so I have made it a priority to change things. Over the last 3 years, we have transitioned to having it staffed 100% of the time the library is open. It took some shuffling of desk time and some mental transitioning of the staff who thought it a waste of time to sit at the desk when there may be no one down there. Over time, the use during the school day of families with preschool age or homeschool children has drastically increased. The staff has gotten used to loading a cart with tasks to take with them. I'm not sure if this helps your specific problem. Good luck to you. The hardest for me was changing the staff mindset. We always had had enough staff here to staff it, but they thought they should be getting things done at their desks since there frequently was no one there. Nowadays, almost anything they need to do can be done from any computer with Internet access and Office. It has really helped the overall impression of the library to not have that sign sitting out there stating that the Children's Room is closed. Erin Schm?ndt Director Caro Area District Library 840 W. Frank St. Caro, MI 48723 (989) 673-4329 ext. 102 Fax: (989) 673-4777 erin at carolibrary.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jessica, We have two doors at the back of out building. One leads in to our main lobby and is open during all library hours. The other door is for the conference room and the desk can not see who enters. We keep that door closed unless there is a program in the conference room. People seem to understand. No one has complained. Most of our library is not close enough to the circ desk for us to watch. We have not had a lot of trouble but we are getting security cameras in those areas. It feels like teens or preteens are abusing the spaces lately. They lay on top of one another in the chairs and love seats, go in to the bathroom together (boy and girl in same bath room). Its time to get the security lights. We have a strong patron behavior policy and don't put up with anything. If we have told a group of kids to settle down then next time they are acting out we tell them to leave. I feel that my staff has plenty to do without having to babysit. Barbara lbbartel at uproc.lib.mi.us --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Jessica - We have a basement area that can be made accessible to the public for special programs. This is also the area utilized for Friends of the Library book sales. We use the area at least once a month for patron activities, but keep the patron access door locked when a program is not in progress. Hope E. Nobel, M.S.L.S. Director Tamarack District Library P. O. Box 469 832 South Lincoln Avenue Lakeview, MI 48850 989.352.6274 lvwdirector at llcoop.org --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jessica, In Dexter, we have an unsupervised lower level. Our meeting rooms are there and we also have rotating art exhibits in the area. We have a CCTV security camera system that monitors the area. This records as well as displays live pictures to a monitor. Because of the use (library programs, outside groups meeting and casual patrons viewing the art) it is always accessible. The camera system has been good to help monitor behavior. Thankfully, most of the behavior is just juvenile antics, but it helps the staff know when that stuff is going on. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to go into more detail. Paul Paul McCann Dexter District Library Library Director 3255 Alpine St. Phone: 734-426-4477 Dexter, MI 48130 Fax: 734-426-1217 www.dexter.lib.mi.us pmccann at dexter.lib.mi.us Hi Jessica, Unfortunately, we don't have a separate entrance to the meeting rooms. We had difficulty finding a site that the community liked. While the one we ended up with is great, it presented some challenges. We have three floors and the meeting room is on the lower level, facing out to a park with very limited parking. It would be nice to have this as an entrance, but the cost of staffing is prohibitive and because of everyday theft, we can't have an unsupervised entrance, so it is just an emergency exit. One of the things we run up against with the security cameras is the Michigan Library Privacy Act and interactions with the sheriff's department. One day, a deputy stopped by to ask if we had exterior cameras because a woman who lives across the street left her walker outside and it was stolen. We put up some dummy camera domes by the DVD area to deter theft and the deputies are always surprised that those aren't live. The more surveillance you have, the more requests you will get for footage and the police need to have a warrant to access that data. Knock on wood...we have had very little vandalism. Only two or three incidents in nine years and two of those were just graffiti on the retaining wall that faces the railroad tracks, out of view of passersby. But our area isn't immune to issues. Chelsea District Library recently had an indecent exposure incident and they produced footage that assisted in a conviction. My feeling is, for every person that feels uncomfortable with unsupervised areas, there is probably someone who feels uncomfortable being watched everywhere they go, so you can go too far in both directions. Keep me posted on your progress from time to time. We may be thinking about replacing our system in the next few years and I'll be interested in hearing about the decisions you make. I have a Board member who, given his preference, would install cameras in every study room, every reading area and around the perimeter of the entire building. It's hard finding that balance that suits everyone, Thanks, Paul --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jessica: We have a tech area and conference room that isn't staffed- unless a staff member is providing tech help. There is an outside door out of the conference room- this is kept locked but can be used as an emergency exit. We did have a bell on it but it no longer works. We don't have any other added security although we can hear if someone is being loud or crazy in either room- there are double doors into this space, the staff just cannot see the room from the circulation desk at all and even from the ramp, one can only see a small portion of the room. The space is mostly an adult area as our computers, magazines and local history are in the space. That said, we did found a couple of our school yearbooks cut up and we do have issues with people ripping out parts of newspapers and magazines. We have placed signs up there asking everyone to be respectful of library material and so far it has helped. Good luck! Kerry Fountain, Director Saranac Public Library 616-642-9146 Clarksville Area Library 616-693-1001 sarkf at llcoop.org ---------------------------------------------------------- We were able to do this project last year, and the manufacturer promoted it as a feel good story. In practice, some of the doors mentioned are still not working right, and there is a camera out right now with a repair order in. But mostly has worked well and been popular with staff. Writing from my alumni account where I read lists; normally Mary.Carleton at farmlib.org https://securitytoday.com/Articles/2018/03/01/Booking-an-Upgrade.aspx?Page=1 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Jessica, We have some security cameras in the areas that are not in our line of sight We also have a keypad entry to our workroom. We do have signs that we have security cameras in use. I think it all helps. Thanks.

We currently require a signature from a parent or legal guardian. However, with the changing dynamic of families, we are questioning if this is best for the children in our community. So many grandparents, stepparents, and other trusted adults are now caring for children and the only ones taking an interest in their literacy needs. We are considering opening up our application to require a responsible party sign, but not limit the relationship of that person to the child. A few notes - We do not limit access to any of our collections based on age, so one (of many) concern is that a child could check out materials that their actual parent/legal guardian would not want them to have. We do not charge overdue fines, so the only charges that would be assessed would be for lost or damaged items. We do have a probationary period during which we limit the total number of checkouts on a card and the account must be in good standing to transition to full privileges. Finally, this is coming from some negative comments in our community regarding the rights of stepparents to sign up their stepchildren for cards. I am not looking to debate the role of stepparents, but hoping another library or two have already tackled this issue and are willing to help us learn from your experience! My questions are: How do you handle minor cards? Do you require an adult to sign permission, and do you restrict to certain relationships (mother/father/guardian/etc.)? Do you have restrictions on what the child can access within the library (including Internet access), especially interested if you don't restrict to only parents/legal guardians? Do you have a policy or wording from your application you would be willing to share regarding the responsibilities assumed? Do you have any advice (pros/cons) from experience or warnings of things I may be overlooking? Thank you in advance!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello everyone, I want to invite your library to participate in the National Week of Conversation (NWOC) April 20-28, 2018. NWOC is one week in which people all over America participate in conversations that prioritize understanding the other across political, social-economic, and cultural divides. NWOC has a number of great partners with different events planned (and more to come!), including our premiere library partners: Boston Public Library and Kansas City Public Library. As a library, there are a number of different ways you and your patrons can participate in NWOC: 1. Host an event, or make your library available for conversations: Here are some easy ways to make this happen: * Book Clubs: Provide space for your local book clubs to discuss a book that brings up important issues. Check out this list of suggestions from the Kansas City Public Library. * Living Room Conversations offers self-facilitated conversation guides. Simply provide meeting space and conversation guides to groups of patrons who can meet at your library for conversations. * Facilitated Conversations: Send an email to courtney at ncdd.org to learn about bringing a facilitator to your library. 1. Provide computers for your patrons to connect with others across the country: Mismatch is a service that utilizes free video conferencing systems to connect people across the country for conversations across divides. Simply provide space in your library for people to use computers and participate. Point your patrons to Mismatch.org where they can sign up for a conversation. 2. Add your event to the NWOC calendar to promote your event and receive recognition for your work on the events calendar. 3. Promote NWOC to other libraries and to your community. Check out our partner kit for sample emails and social media messaging. 4. And more! These are just a few ideas. We invite you to be creative and register your own event. Perhaps you want to use your own conversation guide or invite an expert speaker to your library? Please register your event and direct any questions to jaymee at allsides.com. Are you ready to get started? Please sign up as a partner and check out our partner packet for more information. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to jaymee at allsides.com, or send me an email. This is a great opportunity for libraries to utilize the skills and models you have been learning about through LTC: Models for Change - I hope you will consider hosting a conversation and joining the many others happening across the country this April! Best, Courtney Courtney Breese Managing Director, National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation courtney at ncdd.org www.ncdd.org @ncdd @courtneybreese Join us this November 2-4 in Denver for NCDD2018!

Sound too good to be true? Actually, it isn't. The magical method: taking time to read aloud to your child." ~ ReadAloud.org/why.html RTRM Survey Reminder [Connie and Frank Morrison]Author Connie Schofield-Morrison and illustrator Frank Morrison (pictured left, photo credit to Kalamazoo Public Library) had a fantastic time touring in Michigan - although they did think it was awfully cold compared to their home state of Georgia! They interacted with nearly 2,000 young children in Michigan while touring with their book I Got the Rhythm. It has also been thrilling to see all the posts from public libraries on social media and to read about upcoming Ready to Read programs in your libraries. Thank you for embracing this new early literacy program. That said, the Library of Michigan, and our supporters the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Consumers Energy Foundation, need your feedback! Please take about 10 minutes to complete the 2018 RTRM survey and be sure to include any stories or quotes from outreach or from patrons on the Ready to Read Michigan program. Your responses are important in how the Library of Michigan shapes and funds this program in the future. ________________________________ Planning more outreach? Get an extra kit! [RTRM Logo]The Library of Michigan is pleased to inform you that we have some extra kits featuring 1 copy of the book available from our "Ready to Read Michigan" (RTRM) program. RTRM is an early literacy outreach program designed for public libraries focusing on ages 0-5 and the 5 practices of Every Child Ready to Read, a Public Library Association initiative. If you would like to continue doing outreach as a public library, or if you are not a public library but are interested in requesting a kit, please complete the RTRM Kit Request form for your organization. Please be mindful that this is not the Michigan Reads program, which did end in 2017, and kits do not get mailed to schools, Great Start or Head Start programs automatically anymore. Any extra kits will be mailed in the order the request was received, while supplies last. For more information on this public library program and to access the programming guide you can go to www.mi.gov/readytoread. ________________________________ Website of the Month: NYPL Sings! [NYPL Sings]The New York Public Library has released a new album for young children, caregivers and librarians to help expand early literacy practices. Movement, vocabulary, play and more are all a part of this inclusive album. Download of the full album is available for free from NYPL Sings! as .MP3 or .WAV files, and lyrics are also downloadable. A couple of sing-along videos are also available. ________________________________ Important News from MiAEYC on Week of the Young Child [NAEYC]Michigan Association for the Education of Young Children (Michigan AEYC), an affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), has undergone significant restructuring and branding changes under the direction of NAEYC. To align more closely with NAEYC, Michigan AEYC decided to discontinue the celebration of April as Month of the Young Child(r) and, beginning in April 2018, will celebrate Week of the Young Child(tm), April 16-22, 2018. The Week of the Young Child(tm) is an annual celebration hosted by NAEYC celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers, and families. Information about Week of the Young Child(tm) can be found here. View Governor Snyder's Week of the Young Child(tm) Proclamation here. Effective immediately, please discontinue using the phrases Month of the Young Child(r) and MOYC(r), and the MOYC(r) logo and graphics, including the purple ribbon graphic and wearing of purple ribbons as purple is not an approved branding color of NAEYC. Although Michigan AEYC is no longer officially celebrating April as Month of the Young Child(r), they urge individuals and programs to continue their celebrations of young children year-round, not only during the Week of the Young Child(tm), April 16-22, 2018. For ideas to celebrate Week of the Young Child(tm) in Michigan, visit the MiAEYC website.

Is your library offering play for gross as well as small motor skills? [kids with wheelbarrel]In the Fall 2017 issue of Children and Libraries Judy T. Nelson writes "Librarians add small motor activities such as bending, stretching, playing with a parachute, or tossing small balls into their storytimes with great regularity. And while libraries are no longer the quiet places they once were, most libraries still do not have a basketball hoop or slide in their children's area to encourage the development of gross motor skills, yet this category is as important as its smaller cousin. Especially in today's screen-filled sedentary world, children need to develop both small and gross motor skills; plus play is a primary way children learn about their world, its boundaries, and how things function." You can read more of from her article, Play, The Library, and Every Child Ready to Read 2 on the Association for Library Service to Children's website, but this got me thinking... just what are Michigan libraries doing to encourage gross motor skill play in an appropriate way? Do you offer large foam blocks for building or maybe have a playground on library grounds? Maybe your storytimes offer structured physical play time? Please feel free to share in an email to me, Cathy Lancaster, any strides your library is doing to encourage gross motor skills in young children at lancasterc5 at michigan.gov.

Our CPA, Patrick McCarty, and I will be presenting at the 2018 Loleta Fyan Small and Rural Libraries Conference (details below).

Therefore, we are asking that you send us your questions in advance of the conference so that we can address them during the session. We will certainly answer any that come to us in the spur of the moment, but we?d really like to prepare a polished response if we can. Nothing you ask will be too simple or too complex for us (well, for Patrick, anyway)!! So please send your questions directly to me (and not the entire listserv J). Thanks, and we hope to see you on Wednesday, May 1 at 11:30 a.m.! Session Title: Translating Budgets and Finances: what you've always wanted to know! Session Track: Administration & Management Session Day/Time: Wednesday, 11:30 AM Session Room: Council Room Session Description: If you are a director without a finance background, then this program is for you!

Please see below for RSVP and contact information. We'd love to have you join us! -- Jennifer Dean The University of Detroit Mercy Press, McNichols Campus Library, Department of English, African American Studies Program, and Broadside Lotus Press cordially invite you to celebrate the publication of the new poetry collection Medicine: New and Selected Poems by Aneb Kgositsile Wednesday, April 11, 2018 Reception at 6:30 PM Reading at 7:00 PM McNichols Campus Library | Second Floor, Bargman Room University of Detroit Mercy 4001 W. McNichols Rd, Detroit, MI 48221 This event is free and open to the public. An RSVP is appreciated. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Rosemary Weatherston, Director UDM Press, at 313.993.1083 or weatherr at udmercy.edu. Aneb Kgositsile (Gloria House, Ph.D.) is Professor Emerita in Humanities and African American Studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and Associate Professor Emerita in the Interdisciplinary Studies Department of Wayne State University. Aneb is the former Director of the African American Studies Program at the University of Michigan Dearborn. She has been an activist in human rights struggles in the U.S. and abroad since the 1960?s, when she was an organizer in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She is the co-founder of the Justice for Cuba Coalition and the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality. Over several decades, she contributed to the development of three African-centered schools in Detroit: Aisha/Dubois, Nsoroma Institute and Timbuktu Academy. From 1992 to 1996, she was a Visiting Professor in the English Department, and Director of the Partnership with Township High Schools at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is currently engaged in the freedom school movement in Detroit. Aneb has published three previous poetry collections, Blood River (Broadside Press, 1983), Rainrituals (Broadside Press, 1989), Shrines (Third World Press, 2004), and a book of commentary on the political uses of environment in the United States, Tower and Dungeon: A Study of Place and Power in American Culture; and served as lead editor of the anthology, A Different Image: The Legacy of Broadside Press. Her most recent publications include an essay, ?The Detroit ?67 Rebellion: The Long Aftermath,? 2017 Catalogue of the Detroit Public Library; a chapter in Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts of Women in SNCC; and a book, Home Sweet Sanctuary: Idlewild Families Celebrate a Century, a cultural study of the African American resort community in Northern Michigan. >From the foreword to Medicine: New and Selected Poems, written by Dr. Michael Simanga: Aneb Kgositsile is one of our best poets. She is a healer who has organized a cupboard full of secrets gathered from gardens, recipes sewn into quilts, and methodology passed on in whispers. She has written them down in her new collection of poems, Medicine. This book, her fourth collection of poetry, could only come from a poet who is so planted in the black soil and the red clay that the images she spills out over the page cause us to stop, not pause, but stop, close our eyes and let the memory drift up and into our senses where we can taste and smell and feel. Surrender to her spell is strange and wonderful because the individual memory is summoned, but seems incidental. The appeal is for wide, deep connection to spirit, collective consciousness, and remembrances from so far back the names of the original tellers are difficult to recall. Medicine is a book to be carried in a pocket close to the heart. It is collective stories smuggled from person to person, family to family, community to community, south to north, north to west, across rivers and oceans.

Be sure to check out this year?s webinar on the Early Literacy and Childrens Manuals hosted by the manuals editor. http://shopcslp.com/cslp/pages/webinars Librarygram! by April Mazza Inspired by Michigan?s Summer Library Program webinar for ?Libraries Rock!? I wanted to create a photo stand-up graphic that would be fun to share on social media. The example in the webinar involved finding a stock image of a person related to the theme and cutting out the face so users could pose with their face in the cut out and become a ?rock star?. I tried using CSLP artwork for 2018 but nothing really fit the bill for me (especially because I wanted the figure to be as inclusive as possible). [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/librarygram.jpg] Then I remembered a social media frame that was used at a local conference to get attendees to pose with their friends and then share the pic using the event?s hashtags. It seemed so simple and silly but was a lot of fun. I found a template online and adjusted it for summer library programs. I then went to Staples and got some help with the printing options. If you do not have your own large format printer I highly recommend going to a copy shop that can help you. I went with 17?26 which was recommended by the staff and because it was less expensive than the largest option (24X36). I would suggest the larger option and have it mounted on the board because it will save you time, look more professional and is sturdier! This would have cost me about $70. I ended up mounting it myself which cost less than $20 total. If you go with the more expensive option and want to use it for future summers and/or other events you could choose a library logo and more general hashtags. What?s great about using hashtags is that you can then search for them and use those photos for your promotions as well. Either way, you can also print out CSLP artwork and mount those on skewers to use as props to add more themed images to your selfie. I plan to use the frame as an example of a promotional tool in my summer library program workshops and will raffle it off to an attendee at the completion of the sessions so that they can use it this summer at their library.

(and so do Teens!) [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/libraries_rock.jpg] Peter Blenski, librarian at the Greenfield Public Library, WI has a great idea for this year?s theme: For ?Libraries Rock,? our teens and tweens will be recreating famous album covers here in the library! We?ll start the event with a big group shot, by trying to recreate The Beatles ?Sgt. Pepper?s Lonely Hearts Club? photo. Then, with iPads in hand, teens will work in groups or alone, to recreate some famous pre-approved album covers. Costumes and props will be on hand to make their photos more realistic and fun. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/storytime.jpg]When they?re done, library staff will add the wording to try and replicate the actual artwork. The kids can then come back and pick up their photos in a few days, which we?ll put in old CD cases. The parody covers will be featured throughout the kids? library for the rest of the summer.
