Hello:
As far as legal aspects go, libraries and library staff should be covered under one of Michigan?s Good Samaritan acts:

Schools all have. Some churches. Directions are on the AED. Just finished a tutorial for substitute teaching so would be easy enough for library staff to learn to use.

our chances on their availability.

We have an AED on each of our three floors.  One thing to keep in mind - the batteries and the AED pads that attach to the person need to be checked and replaced periodically.

Good Morning,

The MDMLG Professional Development Committee cordially invites you to attend the CE Course "Financial Advocacy: Turning Data into Ammunition" taught by Barbara Jones. 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<http://www.mdmlg.org/CE%202018-04-19.docx>) by April 12th.
Payment can be made through PayPal (Click Here<http://www.mdmlg.org/paypal-2018-04-19.htm>) 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

Subject: [Michlib-l] MeL Minute: A Shout Out to the MeLCat Processors in
	Michigan
Message-ID: <DM5PR0901MB2488AD250830A12F8A0F5984FEC60@DM5PR0901MB2488.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Greetings Michigan Library Community,

Today is World Book Day and to celebrate we'd like to share some fun facts and figures about MeLCat.

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<mailto:contact at mel.org>,  visit http://mel.org<http://mel.org/>, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery<https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/subscriber/new>. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks.

Thank you to everyone who has responded to my question.  You all are 
wonderful at sharing knowledge!
I received over 30 responses from libraries who have them (I'm sure more 
libraries do). All have received some type of basic training in using the 
machine and/or CPR. All agree that the machines are simple to use and talk 
you through the steps. Many of the libraries have local fire departments 
that have taken care of them: replacing batteries and pads, training. And 
here's the best part: no one has had to use one yet!

We, unfortunately, have had someone collapse and die at the circulation desk 
(yes, it happens!) so are now planning on getting an AED with funds from our 
Friends. We don't know if having this device would have saved a life, but it 
is nice to be prepared.

Subject: [Michlib-l] MeL Minute: A Shout Out to the MeLCat Processors in
	Michigan
Message-ID: <SN1PR09MB10083304BE7F58339355353FB8C60@SN1PR09MB1008.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Greetings Michigan Library Community,

Today is World Book Day and to celebrate we'd like to share some fun facts and figures about MeLCat.

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<mailto:contact at mel.org>,  visit http://mel.org<http://mel.org/>, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery<https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/subscriber/new>.

Hello all,

I am working on trying to get the BHPL a Digital LED sign to promote our

Subject: [Michlib-l] Homeschool group discussion results
Message-ID: <CAL_VNfJToX9qga_tY=_D+TGBdAE7-RFnn=-hxUmL6vPQ-Pk8ng@mail.gmail.com>

I promised to share the replies that I received. 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!

 We would like to offer wireless printing but aren't sure which direction
to go.  For libraries that use LPT1 (printer terminal software) do you run
wireless printing with a software that works with LPT1 so that staff have
control over releasing prints or do you bypass it completely and allow
patrons to print without it? We are looking for patron friendly options
that don't require several steps while managing the number of prints.

Please send feedback off list.

Hi!  I received a lot of responses!


?         Almost all libraries post some version of the New York Times or Publisher?s Weekly lists.


?         Some make fancier signs that are showing what they have received or will be receiving.   A few with color title covers ? some with just text.


?         A few subscribe to Book pages for patrons to read, have 2nd copy or ?Express? books or used to use slides to visually show the titles.


?         If you want to pay a bit, you can subscribe to Wowlibrary.  This talks to your ILS and pulls out your new books for your patrons and more.  It is really cool.  Here is a link:

?         http://www.wowbrary.org/nu.aspx?p=2855--GEN&combine


?         One library?s tech team wrote a program that uses the cover art from Syndetics to display the titles across their webpage and are clickable to the catalog:  https://www.tadl.org/books/

?         (Wonder if we can get them to sell us their program?)  cheaply of course.


?         Last of all ? some lucky people have the Apollo ILS system that does this already for them:  https://eauclaire.biblionix.com/catalog/

Hope I didn?t miss anything ? but it is all pasted in below and attached.

Thank you very much!

Ways to advertise ?New? books

Original question:

How do you let non-computer savvy folks who like to just drop in and browse know about brand new titles that have come out?  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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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,

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!

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.

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<mailto: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. ?

Dear Melissa,

Our Tech team wrote a program to pull newly added titles for display on our website<https://www.tadl.org/books/>. Most cover images are provided by a service called Syndetics<https://proquest.syndetics.com/>. 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.

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.

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.

Hi Melissa,
Our circulation system (Apollo) does a scroll across the top of the online catalog, with cover art of the titles recently added to the system.  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

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.

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! ?

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 <dolson at ssldl.info>

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!

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.

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.

Best,
Pam

Hi, Melissa,
Here at the Mackinaw Area Public Library we make a printout of the current New York Times Bestseller list, highlight the titles we have, and post it near the New Book Area. This lets patrons know which current bestsellers they can get on the wait list for, at least.

Final Call for Posters - MiALA Annual Conference 2018

Sustainability in Academic Libraries

MiALA invites you and your colleagues to submit poster proposals for the 3rd annual conference to be held May 17-18, 2018 in East Lansing. Please consider sharing your innovations, creative endeavors, and practical solutions for sustainability in academic librarianship. How do we sustain ourselves within the profession? How do we sustain our libraries and institutions? How do we work (or what is our obligation) environmentally and socially? How do we sustain our communities?

We welcome posters in any topic related to work in academic libraries, and particularly if they have a connection to the conference theme. Broad participation is encouraged from librarians, staff, LIS students, and administrators from all types of academic libraries (including but not limited to public universities, private colleges, and community colleges). Poster proposals should include a description of no more than 300 words. They will be evaluated on relevance to the academic library profession, originality and creativity, and clarity/applicability of content and outcomes.

You must be an individual or student member of MiALA to submit a proposal. Regardless of the decision on a proposal, MiALA encourages you to attend the conference. Poster session proposals may also be submitted if your presentation proposal is not accepted.

Please submit your poster proposal using the application form located here<https://www.memberleap.com/members/form.php?orgcode=MALA&fid=1703147> by tomorrow, March 3, 2018.

The primary contact listed on each proposal will receive a message indicating receipt of the proposal when it is submitted; decisions on all proposals will be communicated to the primary contact by March 21, 2018.

Questions can be sent to David Scott @ DavidScott at ferris.edu<mailto:DavidScott at ferris.edu>. Questions about the conference in general can be sent to conference at miala.org<mailto:conference at miala.org>.

Dear Michlib-

Has your library ever rented a floor piano (a la the kind Tom Hanks and
Robert Loggia play at FAO Schwartz in the movie "Big")? If so, from where?

If not, have you ever seen a floor piano set up somewhere in Michigan, like
a school or museum? If so, which one and when?

We are considering trying to rent one for our Summer Reading program this
year, but I am having trouble finding a local company.

Happy Friday!

 Dear Michlib-
Has your library ever rented a floor piano (a la the kind Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia play at FAO Schwartz in the movie "Big")? If so, from where?
If not, have you ever seen a floor piano set up somewhere in Michigan, like a school or museum? If so, which one and when?
We are considering trying to rent one for our Summer Reading program this year, but I am having trouble finding a local company.?
Happy Friday!

Anniversary of Mackinac Island State Park

 

March 3 marks a historic moment in Michigan's history. In 1875, Congress
created Mackinac Island National Park, America's second national park,
following the dedication of Yellowstone National Park. The park initially
belonged to the government while Fort Mackinac continued to operate as a
military base, but in 1895, the fort was decommissioned, and the park was
given to the state of Michigan.

 

 

Avoid late registration fees-Standard Registration for the 
Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference ends March 11!

 

 

Our conference is shaping up to have record numbers-over 500 Michigan
history fans have already registered for this popular conference. Several
keynote/meal sessions are almost at capacity. In addition to our exciting
keynotes, our conference breakout sessions are not to be missed. Check out a
few of them below:

 

>From POW to Punster: The Story of Sonny Eliot

Speaker: Jane Nordberg, the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan

 

Detroit weatherman Sonny Eliot enjoyed a successful 60-year broadcasting

Come hear Eliot's gripping story as a wartime POW.

 

The Odyssey of Waukazoo's Band: A Fight to Stay Home

Speaker: Eric Hemenway, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians

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.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Brewpub in Libraries, Responses
Message-ID: <CAM0Gst=r+bm0Yzk2aRkzcq4-j=LHCmPok2pvmRiZ=3SnwDzOow@mail.gmail.com>

Thank you so much for all of the info! 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.

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.

The Michiganders on the Road motor coach tour program was developed by HSM
to allow participants to experience the culture and heritage of all 50
states. The excursions are not "cookie cutter" tours. Each and every tour is
planned, executed, and guided by Robert Myers, HSM's assistant director for
education programs and events. When planning the adventures, Myers keeps in
mind what history enthusiasts look for in their road trips so that the
experience meets expectations.


This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on

history. To opt-out, please respond to this e-mail with "remove" in the

that travels to meetings and training. Do you pay one or the other or both?
Do you have a minimum distance before you pay?

Earlier this summer we hosted a 2 hour writing workshop by Lansing area
author Kevin Fitton. Since then several of our patrons have contacted me
to rave about the workshop. If you are looking for a writing instructor you
can contact Kevin at kevinrfitton at gmail.com. More info can be found at:

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."*

Hello to everyone-

I find myself in a new position in another part time gig where part of my duties are as YA selector and librarian for the first time.  I could use some directions... I'm used to a much older adult population.  Is there a YA SIG or mentoring/mentor program available?

Also, are there interest groups for Cataloging and Collection Development here in MI? I'm already in the ALA IG's for both of these as well as New Members.

Thanks!

It's a common issue here in the summer.  Someone on a walk ties their dog
to the light post in front of the library while they run in real quick for
a book or a movie.  It's also sadly common that someone will not be brief
in their visit and the dog becomes a concern for several reasons.

   - What if the dog bites someone?
   - What if someone hurts the dog?
   - What about our patrons with dog fear that won't/can't walk past a dog
   to come into the library?
   - What about the welfare of the dog being tied in front of the building
   - heat/cold, shelter, lack of shade, etc.

Does anyone have a formal policy on this you'd be willing to share to the
group?

It seems to me that tying a dog to a lamp post in the public right of way
is not a library issue.  I would check with the city police and see if
there is an ordinance relative to this and have the police take care of
this.

Subject: [Michlib-l] TWO! Adult Services Postings at Hartland's Cromaine
 Library - Librarian AND Manager
Message-ID: <CALV4xRuhuHN-NsyKMk02scwse1Kc54FxPo+VEqfh5LU7hOxhRQ@mail.gmail.com>

Please see below two separate postings--first for a full-time Adult
Services Librarian and second for a full-time Adult Services Manager.
Applications by March 25 preferred.

*Full-time Adult Services Librarian *

*Cromaine Is the Cultural Center of Hartland?and our community appreciates
that*



A beautiful new addition has been completed, under budget, and we finally
have spaces for our staff to continue to create new and innovate
traditional library services and collections. As the Cultural Center of
Hartland, Hartland?s Cromaine is expected by its community to offer music
and art, as well as all of the science, engineering and technology
engagement possible for all ages. *We have a full-time Adult Services
Librarian position *available with collection and programming
responsibilities for adults. All of our Librarians are cross-trained for
Adult, Youth, Teen, and Circulation. You may not do a story time, but
you?ll probably assist with desk coverage in Youth, Teen, and at
Circulation as well as some other programming (a summer reading circus,
anyone?) If you have some special interests and skills, we?ll find a way for
you to share those with our community, too! In 2017, Hartland?s Cromaine
celebrated its 90th year of service with a big splash, including the grand
opening of the new space. *We are the place to connect?with warm and
friendly staff, the Web, and the community. If that?s your desire,
interest, and future vision, too, then we need you! *

            Cromaine District Library is located near the intersection of
M-59 and US-23?easy to get to from Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Flint.
Hartland?s Cromaine (built in 1927, expanded in 1980, and again in 2017)
has the elegant Community Room, a large physical collection and large
digital collection, plus two new smaller meeting rooms, a Youth Program
Room, and three new study rooms as a result of the little addition to this
building. *We also have a serious commitment to outreach, participating in
many events and exhibits beyond our walls* as well as finding new ways to
be active outside this building in a busy community.

            Cromaine wins grants, including several National Endowment for
the Arts? The Big Read. Grants for technology in Youth, local business
sponsorships for the summer concert series, exhibits from the Smithsonian
and to be a pilot for a national grant program?we are a place to connect to
culture, music, technology, makers, as well as reading in every format. *Many
of the grants support a very full event calendar* (check it out at
WWW.CROMAINE.ORG).   We are an OverDrive (TLN?s Download Destination) plus
Advantage, hoopla, and RB Digital (Zinio) library. We also offer Kanopy and
Universal Class services supporting our lifelong learners. We welcome new
technologies and ways to improve collections and services, taking seriously
every patron request for both popular materials and those more esoteric. *We
pay MLS librarians from $19.50 to $20.50 per hour to start*; 40 hours per
week with half-hour paid lunch; includes some evenings and weekends with
Sundays at time and one-half. MLA membership and national conference
attendance (in rotation) paid. Full-time positions at Cromaine have paid
vacation, sick, and business time (available after completion of the
introductory period), plus holiday pay, paid birthday, and paid bereavement
leave. Health insurance (an HSA plan) is provided for the employee and the
employee may purchase health insurance for dependents at the library?s
rates. Dental insurance, optical coverage, life insurance, short- and
long-term disability are all provided for the employee. You may purchase
several AFLAC plans at the library?s rate with a pre-tax deduction. *TIAA-CREF
defined contribution retirement is provided at 10% employer contribution
and immediately vested with no required employee match. *

            Share your love for popular materials, new technologies, and
public service with a community that loves its library and its library
staff even more. Send your application (available at WWW.CROMAINE.ORG),
resume and a cover letter to ?Librarian? at PO Box 308. Or send by email
(preferred to be ?green?) to brentola at cromaine.org as soon as
possible?*position
applications received prior to March 25 preferred; applications accepted
until filled.*

Subject: [Michlib-l] Question About Audio in Community Rooms
Message-ID: <033601d3b4c5$7b6d8b50$7248a1f0$@colomapubliclibrary.net>

Hello Everyone-

 

Our library is looking at updating our A/V equipment in our Community Room-
basically just installing a flat screen TV and trying to figure out how to
get the best sound. 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.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or opinions you offer. :)

We have had issues where people have their dogs but they are not leashed
and then leave them outside when they come in.  I had to post something
that said the city's ordinance mandated that all dogs had to be leashed.
Most people then tied them up away from the door.  But, right now, we do
not have a policy.  I am following responses on this though.

Hello! 

The Ann Arbor District Library invites you to [ https://aadl.org/libcamp18 | Library Camp ] , an unconference for information professionals, graduate students, and anyone with an interest in libraries on Friday, April 13, 2018 , from 9 am to 4:30 pm .

The goal is to get a bunch of people together to talk about... whatever you'd like to talk about. 




We'll start with a semi-blank schedule and, at our morning gathering, we'll fill the agenda with your ideas. 




We have an opening talk by intellectual property lawyer Susan Kornfield, who will shed some light on the topic of copyright and libraries, and open up a Q&A session following her talk. 



Here some topics we plan to slot into the agenda: 

- Managing technology for non-technology people 
- Working with kids for non-youth librarians 
- Digitization for everyone 
- Building a welcoming space 
- Your suggestion here!!! 




We've got time and space for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. 

Again, the details are: 
What: [ https://aadl.org/libcamp18 | Library Camp unconference! ] 
When: Friday, April 13, 2018 from 9 am - 4:30 pm 
Where: [ https://aadl.org/aboutus/downtown | Ann Arbor District Library ] - 343 S. Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 
Who: Library people with ideas, questions, opinions, concerns, and observations. [ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdM9pSWNnkHWJgnfu-6-qx3SIZMRx5dFf8TNpa22xZ2pRhLZA/viewform | Register here! ] 
Why: Learning, connecting, thinking, professional development, free bagels 

Hope to see you there!

The Wilder Branch presents the 8-session Detroit Area Agency on Aging program for managing falls.

1:00-3:00 Mondays and Wednesdays, March 19-April 11. Preregistration by March 15 is REQUIRED. Limited to 12 participants.

If the schedule doesn't work for someone who would like to be notified of later classes, have them get in touch with me. If you have a local office of the Area Agency on Aging, I'm sure they'd be glad to do workshops at other libraries.

Wilder is on 7 Mile, a few blocks west of Van Dyke.

Message-ID: <8EE24ACF5C2B5945AF776E39181A009549B91C98@EXCH.wb.local>

We pay travel time and mileage, with no minimum travelled first. My understanding is that mileage is for use of a personal vehicle, whereas drive time is them being paid to drive where you want them to work that day and it is above and beyond their usual commute. If it takes me two hours to drive to a meeting in the capitol, then I get paid that time plus the mileage for using my own car.

Have a wonderful day,
Nyama

Hi all,

We're looking for a magician who can do a 60-90 minute performance for us
this summer. Crowd is largely senior citizens and young families. Has
anyone worked with a magician in the past they can recommend?

Thank you!

Subject: [Michlib-l] Board Game Responses
Message-ID: <CAMJhBpXLXHbkTOV5nWf9pLnS4a9xwBW_-LGE_woytoMYNaKXsQ@mail.gmail.com>

For those of you interested here are the results for the question on
cataloging board games.

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.

What Happened

This year's "Dear Appropriator" letters have started to circulate in the House, asking Representatives to preserve at least $210 million in federal library funding. 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 <http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxdnyxUIzUeVpjXpTJChYzv5mPq7GH9nfeeVZZmxcVudQNHfY8wB-n0MdTeABQSmRyPOCpAyl0QUF2jSntLQQX_25PNBd4PKFwcpACXeB5ueUmezznOJbL8-M_oYw_2b2MpO9ZzVRF5OoslISZgnMGkw&lp=0> ALA Action Center<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/write-a-letter?8&engagementId=445994> 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!

The applications for the summer quick grants for public libraries are due March 26th. We hope to see a proposal from you!

Karren

>>>>>>>>

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce the second year of the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) summer quick grant program for public libraries. The application deadline is Monday, March 26th at 5:00 PM EST.

This program provides funding for public libraries to develop a summer program and purchase materials and supplies for that program. There are three selected program topics - technology, children & teens and literacy. Funding is intended to supplement local services. The grant review will focus on small projects that improve community services and are aligned with the LSTA priorities. The LSTA priorities are for targeting library services to individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills and expanding services for learning and access to information.

The grant period is from June to August 2018. Grants will be from $500 to $2,000. Funding is by reimbursement. Eligible applicants are Michigan public libraries that are legally established and currently eligible for state aid. Branch libraries may apply individually.

Detailed information on the grant program, including the program timeline,  applicant eligibility, and the APPLICATION LINK is available at www.michigan.gov/lsta<http://www.michigan.gov/lsta> in the Public Library Services grant section.

Please read the Program Application Information<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/lm_LSTA_2017_Small_Grant_-_Application_Packet_556852_7.pdf> before applying.

Please contact me at 517-241-0021 or reishk at michigan.gov<mailto:reishk at michigan.gov> with questions on the program.

For those wondering on what I have found with this inquiry out of 24
libraries 6 only pay mileage and 18 pay both most of the time. 2 have
minimum mileage. Attached is the database I used with all the additional
comments.

Do any of you have a Freedom Machine from Vision Technology? We have a
version that, as far as I can tell, was purchased in 2000. It is not working
and seems to be missing a part. I cannot get through to them on the phone
and their website has not been updated since 2011. Does anyone know if they
are still in business or have modern contact information for them?

Does anyone have a survey or questionnaire you have used with your Library

like to go through a full strategic planning process but the rest of my
board has little to no interest. I?m looking for a tool (hopefully simple)
that I can use to guage their goals for the library.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Supervised Visits at Library
Message-ID: <005f01d3b64d$57db4040$0791c0c0$@uproc.lib.mi.us>

We are seeing an increase in the number of court ordered supervised visits
at our library, where children are visiting with a parent while accompanied
by a case worker.  Other family members sometimes are present.

 

We are glad to support families however we can..however, our library is
small and sometimes these visits take place during times when other patrons
are browsing or when programs are going on.  

 

Do other libraries allow supervised visits?  If so, do you request advanced
notice or have any requirements?  Any input is appreciated.

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!

The busiest month of 2017 for MeLCat, like most other years, was January. 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<https://www.imls.gov/>, and all the countless library staff around the state who make sure it continues to run.

Brought to you by Kathy Kosinski of the MeL Team. [cid:image003.jpg at 01D3B6BC.0C677510]

Hi all,

Hope your week is going well. This inquiry is for libraries who have implemented electronic signature pads in the patron registration process:


*         After implementing electronic signatures, have you continued to use paper registration forms?

o   If you've gone paperless, have you noticed an increase in data entry errors?

o   Have you identified any other problems with going paperless?

*         Has your library also implemented driver's license scanning?

Thank you!

Subject: [alsc-l] Request for Proposals: ALSC Cultural Competency Training

Cultural Competency/Diversity Training
Request for Proposals

In 2015, ALSC introduced a revised version of the Competencies for Librarians Serving Children in Public Libraries. 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).

Hi all, 

We've been doing some collection moving and weeding recently and have a variety of metal shelving that we're offering up to other libraries. Everything we have is beige and a variety of sizes and styles (flat shelving, angled shelving, flip top for newspapers/magazines). Rather than inventory everything we're parting with, I've attached a couple pictures so you can get a sense of what it looks like. If you have any interest, get in touch with your needs/interest and I can get details to you. There are no brand markings on any of the shelving. 

Thanks, 
Matt

Subject: [Michlib-l] Kanopy vs Hoopla survey
Message-ID: <CAPDW_EA8jiwiK2q2h8Y_yeaVFe+=NY1UY+5mJhHzGTtPu+YSJA@mail.gmail.com>

I had recently asked about Kanopy vs Hoopla and here are the results:



"We are just looking at Kanopy and it appears to be an extremely different
product focussing on documentary films.    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!"

Message-ID: <35014831c5ba37e35ca58a9d2f9d2fe8@romeodistrictlibrary.org>

Hello All, 

i'm looking for some help and feedback. 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
would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Another thank you for contributing to the Linda S. Champion Memorial

Heather Rochon of Shelby Township, Michigan to continue her education as a

Ms. Rochon's experience, background and career goals 
reflected the philosophy of our dear friend and colleague Linda: 
To serve the community by connecting people, regardless of age, gender, race, 
need or disability with information, ideas and enriching

Posting as a personal member of ALA.  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!

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<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03NDM0NTUzJnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NTI2MDE5OTc/index.html>, 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: <BN7PR09MB25296F4D383B805A926224AB83DE0@BN7PR09MB2529.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

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<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2018-RTRM-ProgrammingGuide_609719_7.pdf> 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<http://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<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_83061---,00.html> to a form for them to complete.

Thank you,

The Library of Michigan's Ready to Read Michigan<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_83061---,00.html> (RTRM) program, part of "March is Reading Month" programming at public libraries, gives libraries the tools to conduct outreach and promote the importance of reading aloud to young children throughout the state. 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<http://w3.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2018-RTRM-ProgrammingGuide_609719_7.pdf> is to help you model ECRR practices to caregivers and families.   In April we are asking you complete this survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018RTRM> 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!!!

Our jazz program last Saturday - Music of X - went great and had great
attendance.

HOWEVER. A week ago I had a voice mail about that program and the X book.
She basically said, "I called to give you a chance to defend the Malcolm X
program before I wrote a letter to the editor."  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!

Connie

Dear colleagues,

    As you might have guessed by now, Madonna Library is going through major space reconfiguration.
So if you are in need of any shelving, we would like to give it to you as soon as possible, and again pick up only.

    Hopefully, whoever is interested has a truck to be able to drive them away.
I am here through Thursday, so please let me know by then if you would like to have these shelves?

      Thank you,

Emma

Join us for Back-to-Back Blockbuster KPL Events This Weekend!

Kalamazoo, MI ? Monday, March 12, 2018. This weekend is all about Kalamazoo Public Library<http://www.kpl.gov/> (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<http://readingtogether.us/> featured author Matthew Desmond will visit Chenery Auditorium<http://www.cheneryaud.com/>. 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<http://www.michigannews.biz/>. 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<http://readingtogether.us/>.

KPL thanks the 2018 Reading Together sponsors, Friends of Kalamazoo Public Library<http://www.kpl.gov/friends>, Irving S. Gilmore Foundation<http://www.isgilmore.org/>, Kalamazoo Community Foundation<http://www.kalfound.org/> and Stryker Johnson Foundation<https://www.strykerjohnstonfoundation.org/> as well as many community partners<http://www.kpl.gov/reading-together/2018/sponsors-partners.aspx>.

15th Annual Teen Filmmaker Festival
On Saturday, March 17, Kalamazoo will roll out the (metaphorical) red carpet for the 15th Annual Teen Filmmaker Festival<http://www.kpl.gov/teenfilmfest>. Film finalists will be screened at this special event open to movie fans of all ages. Join us at 12 pm at the Judy K. Jolliffe Theatre<http://www.kalamazooarts.org/venue/judy-k-jolliffe-theatre-formerly-epic-theatre/>. Enjoy plenty of movie snacks and cast your vote for the People's Choice Award. This event is free and open to the public.

Public Media Network (PMN) will broadcast all entries chosen for the festival, the awards presentations, and interviews with the winners beginning March 26 through April 1. Visit kpl.gov/teenfilmfest<http://www.kpl.gov/teenfilmfest> for the broadcast schedule. DVD's of the festival coverage and filmmaker interviews will be available for purchase at cost to interested filmmakers and fans. For more information visit publicmedia.org<http://www.publicmedia.org/>.

Film Finalists will be presented by Master of Ceremonies Aubrey Rodgers, and judged by Katherine Mumma, James Choi, and Joshua Courtade. The People's Choice Award will be chosen by the audience. Awards are based on nine categories and will receive gift cards from Norman Camera<http://www.normancamera.com/> in the following amounts:


  *   Best Film: $750
  *   Judge's Choice: $500
  *   People's Choice: $100

The following categories will win a Norman Camera gift card worth $50:

  *   Best Experimental Film

  *   Best Cinematic Merit
  *   Young Filmmaker Award

If you miss the festival, the complete list of winners will be posted on kpl.gov/teenfilmfest<http://www.kpl.gov/teenfilmfest> by March 23.

About the Teen Filmmaker Festival
Since 2003, the Teen Filmmaker Festival has featured films produced by Michigan teens aged 12-19. Films must be entirely produced by teens and be no more than 10 minutes long. In 2016, a Young Filmmaker Award was created for Michigan's youngest filmmakers, aged 10-12.

The 15th Annual Teen Filmmaker Festival is brought to you by Kalamazoo Public Library<http://www.kpl.gov/>, Kalamazoo Institute of Arts<http://www.kiarts.org/>, Public Media Network<http://www.publicmedianet.org/>, Campaign Pictures and James & Springgate, PLC<http://www.jscpas.com/>.

Photography for both events is provided by John Lacko Photography<http://www.lackophoto.com/>. Images will be posted by KPL on Flickr<https://www.flickr.com/photos/kalamazoopubliclibrary> by March 26.

Kalamazoo Public Library thanks the Kalamazoo community for many years of continued support for Reading Together and Teen Filmmaker Festival. Please enjoy both events this weekend.

Judges needed for the 2018 Michigan History DayR State Finals!

 

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.

 

 <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/judges/judge-registration/> 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
<http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/judges/judge-registration/> 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.

 

 <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/judges/judge-registration/> Don't forget to
register!

 

We hope you can join us this year! Thank you for your support of Michigan
History Day!

I believe our current policy concerning guns is out of date. My
understanding is that it is no longer legal to prohibit concealed weapons
in a public library in the State of Michigan; I'm wondering how other
libraries have addressed that.

I will be extremely grateful for any suggestions or policies anyone is able

Hello:

I sent this information to Sharon and I thought it may be useful to others?.


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.

Thanks!
Clare

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
<http://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/federal-law/background-resources/key-federal-acts-regulating-firearms/>,
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
   <http://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/who-can-have-a-gun/categories-of-prohibited-people/#footnote_22_322>
   - Is a fugitive from justice;
   - Is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance;24
   <http://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/who-can-have-a-gun/categories-of-prohibited-people/#footnote_23_322>
   - Is underage;25
   <http://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/who-can-have-a-gun/categories-of-prohibited-people/#footnote_24_322>
   - Has been adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental
   institution;26
   <http://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/who-can-have-a-gun/categories-of-prohibited-people/#footnote_25_322>
   - 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
   <http://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/who-can-have-a-gun/categories-of-prohibited-people/#footnote_26_322>

I believe Michigan adheres to these guidelines as well from what I have
gathered.

FYI.

Hello to all of you!
I have been in a conversation with the editor of our local paper on the
idea of library column.  I was wondering if any other libraries are doing
this sort of thing and if you are willing to share your experiences with
reference to the following:

   1. Frequency?
   2. Topics covered?
   3. Who writes?

Samples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time!

Message-ID: <72813E0061C779478AC92F50C5D0264E26E56BA9@Clark-2.dcl-lib.org>

Hello all,

We are planning to retrofit our existing shelving with casters, allowing us to open up space in our main reading room for programming.  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!

Thank you!

Megan

Good morning,


If you own a video, game, or audio disc repair system...


  *   Do you offer disc repair services to the public, either for a fee or for free?
  *   Did you offer the service at one time and stopped due to problems, cost, or feedback?
  *   If you currently offer such service, what rate do you charge and do you have a disclaimer statement or require a signed waiver regarding if the repair fails?


Thank you!

Hi all,

In the past month or so, three different patrons have come in asking for
one of the staff members to type what they're dictating. The main issue is
that it takes staff time away from other duties. How do other libraries
handle this sort of thing?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 12, 2018

LANSING, March 14, 2018 - Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) announced today that Randy Dykhuis, Executive Director, will retire from his position effective December 31, 2018.

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.

Kissing...probably not.  Making out...probably.

Are we talking PDA policies now?!?  LOL

A good patron code of conduct policy should address this.

GDL has the following two sections that address this:

"Patrons may not disturb others in any manner. 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."

"Patrons may not display materials or make verbal comments or gestures that might reasonably
be expected to offend or harass others."

Good luck.
:o)

Do you have a "public affection" policy? If not, it's a questionable act to stop the teens from doing it just because they're teens... Age discrimination, and all.

Do a search on Google.  Type interview questions for a library clerk.  You

 Partners at Your Library
Message-ID: <DM6PR09MB2795921EAAF8096616F60A76B8D10@DM6PR09MB2795.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Does your library strive to reach all members of your service population? 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

"Please refrain from inappropriate displays of affection including hugging,
kissing, touching with implication of sexual conduct"

We enforce it with adults and kids- we try and distinguish between a peck
on the cheek and the holding of hands vs people sitting on each others laps
and making out.

Still a tough balance to walk.

The Petoskey News Review (PNR) provides space twice a month for a library column. 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.

Hello to all of you!
I have been in a conversation with the editor of our local paper on the idea of library column.  I was wondering if any other libraries are doing this sort of thing and if you are willing to share your experiences with reference to the following:

  1.  Frequency?
  2.  Topics covered?
  3.  Who writes?
Samples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time!

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.

Greetings Michigan Library Community,



On February 14th, the LearningExpress Library<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-lxpress3.php?database=MAIN> 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<https://help.ebsco.com/interfaces/LearningExpress/LearningExpress_Library/LearningExpress_Library_Promotion_Kit> 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<https://help.ebsco.com/interfaces/LearningExpress/LearningExpress_Library/Creating_direct_links_to_EBSCO_LearningExpress_resources_from_your_website> 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!

NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

ALA and AASL release joint statement on Florida Senate Bill 7026
American Library Association (ALA) President Jim Neal and American Association of School Librarians (AASL) President Steven Yates released a joint statement in response to legislation that will allow for the arming of school librarians in Florida schools. 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."

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.

Reynolds is the bestselling author of ?Ghost,? ?Patina,? ?Long Way Down,? and ?Miles Morales: Spider-Man.? He writes on his website that he knows there are a lot of young people who hate reading, mostly out of boredom. His plan? To not write boring books and to aim the books towards the non-believers.

May 16, 2018
8:00 am - 4:30 pm
Michigan State University Libraries - Green Room
East Lansing, MI

Description
Libraries in higher education are increasingly required to demonstrate their value and document their contributions to overall institutional effectiveness. The Standards for Libraries in Higher Education is a framework for library planning and assessment that can be used for a variety of circumstances including annual planning, program review, and accreditation self-study. Through presentation, discussion, and group activities, learn how to use the Standards to communicate your library's impact.

Learning Outcomes
Workshop participants will be able to. . .

  *   Establish the library and institutional contexts to effectively engage in planning, self-study, accreditation, or program review processes.
  *   Use the ACRL Standards for Libraries in Higher Education and other foundational documents as a framework to develop benchmarks, evaluate quality and performance, and demonstrate value to the institutional mission.
  *   Evaluate various metrics and assessment tools to select the best approach for a given situation.
  *   Examine the role of leadership in building a culture of evidence to engage all librarians and staff members in effective decision-making.
Target Audience
This workshop is intended for all librarians, library staff, and library administrators who need to demonstrate the value of their library by documenting their contributions to overall institutional effectiveness and/or to identify areas for quality improvement. Attendees are not expected to have previous experience applying the Standards. Though the primary audience is librarians, library staff, library administrators and other campus professionals in areas of assessment, institutional planning and improvement, and academic technology may be interested as well.

Presenter Information
Andrea Falcone, MLS, MA, is the Head of Education & Outreach Services at the University of Colorado Denver. Falcone leads a dynamic instruction program that offers one-time, course-integrated instruction to various programs and groups on a campus with three institutions. She encourages library faculty to be experimental in designing their curriculum and to conduct assessments with the intent of continuous improvement. She is the Editor of the Beta Phi Mu Scholars Series published by Rowman & Littlefield and is the column editor for "Perspectives on Public Services," which appears in International Information & Library Review.

Museums, libraries, and archives, as well as universities and non-profit organizations with experience in museum, library, or archives projects and expertise in community development work, are eligible to apply. Award amounts will range from $25,000 to $150,000, and a one-to-one cost share is required.

The grant is part of IMLS?s Community Catalyst <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ltD5RMH5hLp-NhbhkaU4ArwTlykxxOJbcPOnCvgPmxdkzDCjuKXeC491BFlWZ74csnF6O7vVTqIKH-YvZsLU81Ee9MqnpbNln1J7iFzpVSejXD4tOzljBITHn67pvbeQL2oW2lu-L1DhUdKkfB61J-UxPdtEQDKLzJ0v9kUbId8m7Ug0GUlj1wv1M17gLZ73lhuJ0fTNz9hAepnu-3TBsGP0akv_FQbA&c=rfgQg8ndNZkz3oHejaXGZeHO1YYj4EXOsh8jx3ywPUovppoy0bj_gA==&ch=OcjRsTFilxJFMK334d_a0Lm6IS7RDs6qnoDWVwLM9xN6RycT3XZV0g==> 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<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ltD5RMH5hLp-NhbhkaU4ArwTlykxxOJbcPOnCvgPmxdkzDCjuKXeC1yZHdmWr9gXtbUf256jhB5u1eF9yBS7eVgnR-REmk25l93SDtOwO9Ow0Xn09QRt2n_P1oQ88VbsQIwAOk90CV61ua5R5FXLKqhK3IYAVIeCZ7L3O0aJFuts1p4NMRlgZNXxgzYMNdoc4PjDyyHh6QiN3KF7G9zJYQ==&c=rfgQg8ndNZkz3oHejaXGZeHO1YYj4EXOsh8jx3ywPUovppoy0bj_gA==&ch=OcjRsTFilxJFMK334d_a0Lm6IS7RDs6qnoDWVwLM9xN6RycT3XZV0g==> for Small Cities and Rural Areas and Supporting Equitable Development? program.

history fans have already registered for this popular conference. Several
keynote/meal sessions are almost at capacity. In addition to our exciting
keynotes, our conference breakout sessions are not to be missed. Check out a
few of them below:

 

>From POW to Punster: The Story of Sonny Eliot

Speaker: Jane Nordberg, the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan

 

Detroit weatherman Sonny Eliot enjoyed a successful 60-year broadcasting
career-but he also spent 18 months during World War II as a prisoner of war.
Come hear Eliot's gripping story as a wartime POW.

 

The Odyssey of Waukazoo's Band: A Fight to Stay Home

Speaker: Eric Hemenway, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians

were Michigan men.

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.

Message-ID: <CAGyYj-Gwvr6Pu-311OY7zi=fsJGHp3FFSJ369bgK1LscZn+MOQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I've noticed that our door counter numbers, and what is going on at the
library just don't seem to be matching up.  We've been pretty busy lately,
but the number from our door counter just doesn't seem to accurately
reflect that.  Do any of you have this problem, or have you had it and
found a solution?  I'm going to be investigating a new door counter, and
wonder if there is any one that is more accurate that another, something I
should really look for.

Thank you,

sell.  We have remodeled, and they don't fit our room anymore.

They are large sized (I chose them to fit large patrons), but we had them

I have attached pictures.  The purchasing library would need to pick up.

They really are good chairs.  If I had room for them, I'd keep them for
future use!

$25 each or best offer

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,

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.

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!

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,

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Memorial for Michael Teague Orblych
Message-ID: <CAK92ZrB7gsLi5JGxA7jkh2VFvqCFacXuKSPwEXHQx=FwSdnqqw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear friends and colleagues of Teague Orblych,



On Friday, April 6, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., a memorial will be held to
celebrate the life of Michael (Teague) Orblych, Research Education
Coordinator and Social Sciences Librarian at the University of
Michigan-Dearborn?s Mardigian Library. 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>.



Please share this with anyone you feel may wish to attend the memorial,
share a memory, or contribute to the scholarship.



Regards,


The Mardigian Library Staff

Reply-To: "Shea, Shana" <shea at townofwindsorct.com<mailto:shea at townofwindsorct.com>>

For the 2017 Summer Reading program I coordinated a pen pal program among Children?s/Youth Services Departments across the United States.  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!

>>>>>>>>

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce the second year of the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) summer quick grant program for public libraries. The application deadline is Monday, March 26th at 5:00 PM EST.

This program provides funding for public libraries to develop a summer program and purchase materials and supplies for that program. There are three selected program topics - technology, children & teens and literacy. Funding is intended to supplement local services. The grant review will focus on small projects that improve community services and are aligned with the LSTA priorities. The LSTA priorities are for targeting library services to individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills and expanding services for learning and access to information.

The grant period is from June to August 2018. Grants will be from $500 to $2,000. Funding is by reimbursement. Eligible applicants are Michigan public libraries that are legally established and currently eligible for state aid. Branch libraries may apply individually.

Detailed information on the grant program, including the program timeline,  applicant eligibility, and the APPLICATION LINK is available at www.michigan.gov/lsta<http://www.michigan.gov/lsta> in the Public Library Services grant section.

Please read the Program Application Information<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/lm_LSTA_2017_Small_Grant_-_Application_Packet_556852_7.pdf> before applying.

Please contact me at 517-241-0021 or reishk at michigan.gov<mailto:reishk at michigan.gov> with questions on the program.

BIBFRAME: An Overview<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/bibframe-an-overview-151.html>
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<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/child-s-play-cataloging-children-s-materials.html>
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?<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/rda-for-non-catalogers-what-do-i-need-to-know-152.html>
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?
Register for these courses, and more, today at https://store.mcls.org/!

ALA News for March 20, 2018

NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARIAN ASSOCIATION


ALA Hails Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act as Possible 'Turning Point'
The following statement was issued by American Library Association (ALA) President Jim Neal upon the introduction of the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act (S. 2559) by the bipartisan leadership of the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations Committees, Chairmen Grassley and Corker and Ranking Members Feinstein and Menendez, along with Senators Harris, Hatch and Leahy.
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."

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.

Subject: [Michlib-l] MeL Minute: We have new videos-please share them on
	social media!
Message-ID: <DM5PR0901MB248837F8F14B6056E5790DADFEA90@DM5PR0901MB2488.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

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<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsiX4lmeyL4Cm_AfOuTBGCvvGP7NyeeE8>.

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<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8r3ND6xhn8&index=11&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4Cm_AfOuTBGCvvGP7NyeeE8> (2:35 minutes) - A very nice collage of MeLCat patrons from all over the state talking about their positive experiences with the service.

Hear the voices of teachers as well as high school students.
*        MeL Impact in the Classroom<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnX_OJQMgqQ&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4Cm_AfOuTBGCvvGP7NyeeE8&index=5> (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<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3E2xrDtQNs&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4Cm_AfOuTBGCvvGP7NyeeE8&index=8> (37 seconds) - The value of MeLCat for small libraries, especially demonstrating how it assists in augmenting smaller collections.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR, DES MOINES (IA) PUBLIC LIBRARY

Plan for tomorrow as the next Library Director of the Des Moines Public Library! The Board of Trustees of the Des Moines (IA) Public Library<http://www.dmpl.org/> 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. Key opportunities include developing a new strategic vision, restoring hours of operation, and working closely with the City of Des Moines and with the Library Foundation to seek new streams of revenue. With a dedicated staff (93.7FTE), a committed Library Board, a $8.5 million annual budget, and a successful Library Foundation-the library can continue to be an agent for positive change contributing to economic development, community building and academic achievement.  As Iowa's capital city, Des Moines<http://www.dmgov.org/> is a small city with big city amenities. Noted for being one of Expedia's Most Artistic Towns in America<https://viewfinder.expedia.com/features/americas-artistic-towns/#DesMoines> and one of the Top 10 Places to Live in the U.S<https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2017/02/07/us-news-des-moines-9th-best-place-live/97573936/>. (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.  The library can be a key participant with the city as it looks to the future with its Forward Plan and the Capital Crossroads Plan. Des Moines is also home to good public services and friendly, cohesive neighborhoods. Additional information on the library, city and position can be found at Des Moines Links.<http://www.bradburymiller.com/desmoineslinks.htm>

Responsibilities. Under the direction of the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director is a visionary for the Des Moines Public Library. The director will communicate with the Library Board, the City of Des Moines, the community and the library staff. The director will advocate for the Library in all communications. The Director of the Des Moines Public Library reports to a five-member Library Board of Trustees and partners with city officials as a city department head to achieve the library's mission, goals and objectives within the context of community needs and priorities.  Overall responsibilities include: fostering effective internal and external communications with the community, city officials, the Library Board, the Library Foundation, and library staff; proposing recommendations and implementing board policies and operating procedures reflecting the reality of the current economic environment; developing the library staff as a strong team through leadership, mentoring and providing staff development opportunities; providing sound fiscal management while seeking additional revenue sources; working with the Library Foundation; and exploring and developing collaborative relationships with a variety of local, regional and statewide organizations and agencies.

Qualifications. A master's degree in library science from an ALA-accredited program is required. Five years of increasingly responsible management experience in a public library setting is preferred. Experience in a multi-branch library; a minimum of five years of executive level experience as director of a library or deputy, assistant, or associate director of a comparable or larger system; experience reporting to a governing board; and experience in a union environment are all highly desirable.  Essential attributes include energy and enthusiasm; personal integrity; and excellent interpersonal skills; thorough knowledge of financial management; collaboration and consensus-building skills; sensitivity, flexibility, and creativity; and a solid understanding of philosophy, trends and "best practices" in the library and information technology fields. The Library Director must live in the City of Des Moines.

Compensation. A starting salary range of $125,000-155,000 (with placement negotiable, dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Security of unstaffed areas
Message-ID: <dc0a84206bf29b3d5c282ce4c2722ec3.squirrel@www.uproc.lib.mi.us>

Hello!

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. I very much appreciate it! I'll be happy to compile any
responses I receive and share them here.

Thank you!

Begging for information again!

What do you use to circulate your wifi hotspots in? I'd like specific
brands and sizes. I'm looking at Showcases online and they have small
Artbins that might work, but I can't think of a good way to keep them from
clanking around inside.

Thanks!

[ALA Membership]


Dear Colleagues:

We are thrilled that Congress has passed an FY2018 omnibus spending bill today that includes significant federal funding increases for our nation's libraries!

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<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03NDgwMDg5JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NTMwOTU4NTU/index.html> 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<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03NDgwMDg5JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NTMwOTU4NTY/index.html>.

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<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03NDgwMDg5JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NTMwOTU4NTc/index.html>.

Again, congratulations on a job well done!

The legislation includes increases over FY 2017 enacted funding levels for the following programs and offices.



?     Grants to States (+$4,700,000)

?     Native American Library Services and Native Hawaiian Library Services (+$1,000,000)

Libraries Read: 1 Book

Libraries Read: 1 Book is an annual project of MCLS, a "library community read" focused on professional development. Library staff from all types of libraries are encouraged to participate by voting on which book should be selected, then participate in the discussion, whether online or in-person. We will join together, across state lines and library types, to read and discuss the same book.

Submit titles for 2018 Libraries Read: 1 Book!

Last year's process of inviting YOU, our community, to submit titles for consideration was such a success, we'd like to do it again! 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<https://goo.gl/forms/DyQuSWQv3AULUpwn2> 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! MCLS will announce the Twitter chat and other discussions to take place in August 2018.

We look forward to getting your title submissions over the next couple of weeks!

BIBFRAME: An Overview<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/bibframe-an-overview-151.html>
Instructor: Autumn Faulkner
Tues, Apr 3, 2 - 4pm Eastern (1 - 3pm Central)
Credits: 2 T-LEUs for IN staff!

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
RDA for Non-Catalogers: What Do I Need to Know?<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/rda-for-non-catalogers-what-do-i-need-to-know-152.html>
Instructor: Susan Pritts
Thursday, Apr 5, 2 - 4pm Eastern (1 - 3pm Central)
Credits: 2 T-LEUs for IN staff!

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?
Original Cataloging of Sound Recordings Using RDA<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/original-cataloging-of-sound-recordings-using-rda-153.html>
Instructor: Dawn Olmsted Swanson
April 10, 11, 12, 1:30 - 3:30pm Eastern (12:30 - 2:30pm Central)
Credits: 6 LEUs for IN staff!

This workshop teaches participants how to do original cataloging of physical sound recordings (CDs, MP3s and cassettes, both musical and nonmusical), using such tools as RDA and OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards. The class will address original cataloging in the MARC format. The instruction will cover issues like the preferred source of information, physical description, authorized access point, content/media/carrier types, and choice of additional access points. In addition, participants will learn the MARC fixed and variable fields for sound recordings, and will study the relationships among these fields. Several MARC record examples will be examined, and three hands-on exercises will be included. The online versions of the RDA Toolkit and OCLC's Bibliographic Formats and Standards will also be used. PLEASE NOTE: Basic navigation in the RDA Toolkit will NOT be covered. You will need to attend Original Cataloging of Monographs Using RDA prior to attending this program.
Register for these or many other workshops today at https://store.mcls.org/!

Just wanted to say that myself and two colleagues attended this training in
Southfield. It was priceless. It was very hands-on; the tools can be used

Subject: Newly Published School Library Research

Hello School Library Advocates



Keith Curry Lance and I have conducted some recent research and  hope you
will help us spread this info out on your state networks and social media.
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.



Phi Delta Kappan http://www.kappanonline.org/lance-kachel-school-librarians-
matter-years-research/

Hi all,

I'm looking for ideas to enhance our outreach services to remote townships.
We have several township book drops for item return, and am looking to
provide some kind of circulation component remotely as well.



If your library provides holds pickup services, deposit collections or some
other circulation service at remote locations I'd love to hear about it!
Specifically looking for low staff input ideas that work well out of
township halls with limited operating hours.


Thanks!!

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<http://www.lagrangelibrary.org/> 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<http://www.villageoflagrange.com/>, 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.<http://www.bradburymiller.com/lagrangelinks.htm>

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.  Essential attributes include energy and enthusiasm; personal integrity; excellent interpersonal skills; and collaboration and consensus-building skills.  Experience reporting to a governing Board, success with fundraising and development, and experience with facilities/space design are desired. See Executive Director Position Description<http://www.bradburymiller.com/lagrangedesc.pdf> for details.

Compensation. A starting salary range of $80,000-$105,000 (with placement negotiable, dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an exceptional fringe benefits package.

Dear Library Colleagues,
Please feel free to share with your staff, board, Friends and community
members:

*Announcing the Fourth Annual Genealogy Seminar at Pinckney Library April
21*



                Family tree dabblers and serious genealogy students alike
need to mark their calendars now for the fourth annual ?Putting the Puzzle
Together? genealogy seminar on Saturday, April 21, at the Pinckney Library.
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. For
more information visit the website http://pcplgenealogy.weebly.com, email
pcplgenealogy at pinckneylibrary.org, or call the Library at 734-878-3888
<(734)%20878-3888>.

upcoming event!

I would like to suggest that library advocates share the forwarded article
with *local school board members and superintendents *rather than their
local school librarians.
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
<https://www.slj.com/2018/03/industry-news/school-librarian-art-thou/>
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.

If you have any questions or need additional data, please let me know.
Thank you so much!

Hi, everyone -

  I'm sure this has already been posted before, but since technology
changes so quickly I figured it couldn't hurt to ask again if anyone has
any updated recommendations or experience to share about circulating
wifi hot spots. Someone from T-Mobile has contacted us and I'm not sure
if this is a good provider for our location, for general customer
service, or if another company might be better. I'd love any info on the
various companies, cost to the library, filtering, patron use or abuse,
etc. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,

Just wanted to say that myself and two colleagues attended this training in
Southfield. It was priceless. It was very hands-on; the tools can be used
in so many situations. Be sure to attend if you can.

Subject: Newly Published School Library Research

Hello School Library Advocates



Keith Curry Lance and I have conducted some recent research and  hope you
will help us spread this info out on your state networks and social media.
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.

Hi all,

I'm looking for ideas to enhance our outreach services to remote townships.
We have several township book drops for item return, and am looking to
provide some kind of circulation component remotely as well.



If your library provides holds pickup services, deposit collections or some
other circulation service at remote locations I'd love to hear about it!
Specifically looking for low staff input ideas that work well out of
township halls with limited operating hours.


Thanks!!

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<http://www.lagrangelibrary.org/> 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<http://www.villageoflagrange.com/>, 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 L!

 a Grange Links.<http://www.bradburymiller.com/lagrangelinks.htm>

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.  Essential attributes include energy and enthusiasm; personal integrity; excellent interpersonal skills; and collaboration and consensus-building skills.  Experience reporting to a governing Board, success with fundraising and development, and experience with facilities/space design are desired. See Executive Director Position Description<http://www.bradburymiller.com/lagrangedesc.pdf> for details.

Compensation. A starting salary range of $80,000-$105,000 (with placement negotiable, dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an exceptional fringe benefits package.

Subject: [Michlib-l] title submissions for 2018 Libraries Read: 1 Book
Message-ID: <SN1PR19MB0447AB5D0CF62E58EC1C349DD9A30@SN1PR19MB0447.namprd19.prod.outlook.com>

Thanks to all who have already begun submitting titles this year's Libraries Read: 1 Book! Keep those submissions coming!

Libraries Read: 1 Book is an annual project of MCLS, a "library community read" focused on professional development. Library staff from all types of libraries are encouraged to participate by voting on which book should be selected, then participate in the discussion, whether online or in-person. We will join together, across state lines and library types, to read and discuss the same book.

Submit titles for 2018 Libraries Read: 1 Book!

Last year's process of inviting YOU, our community, to submit titles for consideration was such a success, we'd like to do it again! 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<https://goo.gl/forms/DyQuSWQv3AULUpwn2> 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! MCLS will announce the Twitter chat and other discussions to take place in August 2018.

We look forward to getting your title submissions over the next couple of weeks!

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<http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/annual-conference/call-for-proposals/> or download the Call for Programs and Posters (pdf).<http://www.milibraries.org/assets/1/6/Call_for_Programs_and_Posters_AC_2018.pdf>

	Pre-Conference
Message-ID: <DM2PR09MB0652E27D2A0CC00F05A22F1FBBA30@DM2PR09MB0652.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) has received money from The National Library of Medicine, to encourage librarians from small and rural libraries to attend a pre-conference at the 2018 annual fall conference to be held in Springfield, IL.

The Library of Michigan is assisting in the awarding of the scholarships by facilitating the application and choice of one current Michigan public library staff member to receive the $500 to help cover travel and registration to the events. Applicants must be from a library serving fewer than 25,000.

The recipient must agree to attend both the pre-conference, described below, on September 12 and the full ARSL conference on Sept. 13, 14 and 15. The cost for the health pre-conference is $75 and the full conference rates will begin at $275 for members.

Information about the ARSL Conference can be found at https://arsl.info/2018-conference/

National Library of Medicine Pre-Conference - September 12, 2018
Stand Up for Health: Health and Wellness Services for Your Community

Description: Health information is the number two most searched for information online. This pre-conference will review core competencies of providing health and wellness services, coach you through understanding your community's needs, and explore how to create fun and informative health-related programming for different age groups and special populations. Participants will learn about core reference and other materials, tips for helping library users evaluate health materials, and an action plan to put your new expertise to work. At the end of this session, participants will:

1: Gain increased confidence in providing English/Spanish health reference; teaching users how to recognize the elements of trustworthy materials and the warning signs of dubious health information; and selecting authoritative health information appropriate for diverse users

2: Evaluate the quality of health information in a variety of formats and apply criteria for collection development of consumer health materials

3: Be able to plan health-related programming and events that will appeal to your community

This session requires 2 hours of pre-conference reading and a take-home assignment at the end to earn the full 12 CE credits. Attendees who complete all the work and earn the 12 CE credits will also receive a Consumer Health Information Specialization certification from the Medical Library Association. Attendees who choose not to complete all the required work may be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Time: 9-5 with lunch and a refreshment break. Fee: $75.
To apply for the $500 scholarship, please complete the form here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ARSL-NLM  The application will close on April 4 at 10:00pm Eastern time.
If you have questions about this application, please contact Shannon White at 517-373-1580 or whites29 at michigan.gov<mailto:whites29 at michigan.gov>

Security of Unstaffed Library Areas
Compiled Responses from Michlib-L

We are moving to location that will have those security issues and unstaffed
areas and we decided to install security cameras and monitors.  We will keep
the door unlocked and just monitor through security cameras.

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. &#61514;
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. &#61516;  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. &#61514;
Hope that helps give you some ideas! &#61514;

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Message-ID: <72813E0061C779478AC92F50C5D0264E26E64F27@Clark-2.dcl-lib.org>

Hi All,

I am curious how other libraries are handling issuing cards to minors.  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!
Megan

	Conversation!

Hello everyone,


            I want to invite your library to participate in the National Week of Conversation <https://nationalweekofconversation.org/> (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<https://nationalweekofconversation.org/partners/> with different events<https://nationalweekofconversation.org/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<https://kclibrary.bibliocommons.com/list/share/703461058_kaites_kcmo/1144002707_national_week_of_conversation> of suggestions from the Kansas City Public Library.
     *   Living Room Conversations<https://livingroomconversations.org/> 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<mailto: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<https://www.mismatch.org/> 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<https://www.mismatch.org/> where they can sign up for a conversation.
  2.  Add your event to the NWOC calendar<https://nationalweekofconversation.org/events/community/add> to promote your event and receive recognition for your work on the events calendar. <https://nationalweekofconversation.org/events>
  3.  Promote NWOC <https://nationalweekofconversation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/NWOC-Partner-kit-revised2.pdf> 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<https://nationalweekofconversation.org/events/community/add> your event and direct any questions to jaymee at allsides.com<mailto:jaymee at allsides.com>.


Are you ready to get started? Please sign up<https://nationalweekofconversation.org/become-a-partner/> as a partner and check out our partner packet<https://nationalweekofconversation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/NWOC-Partner-kit-revised2.pdf> for more information. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to jaymee at allsides.com<mailto: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<http://ala.org/ltc-models> - I hope you will consider hosting a conversation and joining the many others happening across the country this April!



Best,

Courtney

This Month's Wisdom...

"There is an easy way to improve your child's chances at school. It will entertain and delight him. It will strengthen the bonds between him and you. And it is virtually free.

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<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTgwMzI5Ljg3NzE2NDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE4MDMyOS44NzcxNjQxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTA1MTAxJmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://www.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<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTgwMzI5Ljg3NzE2NDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE4MDMyOS44NzcxNjQxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTA1MTAxJmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018rtrm> 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 <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTgwMzI5Ljg3NzE2NDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE4MDMyOS44NzcxNjQxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTA1MTAxJmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&102&&&https://goo.gl/forms/aa0E4TXOlyo5npSs2> 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.

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<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTgwMzI5Ljg3NzE2NDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE4MDMyOS44NzcxNjQxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTA1MTAxJmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&104&&&http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=42353602&msgid=328955&act=745G&c=1299345&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.naeyc.org%2Fevents%2Fwoyc%2Foverview>.

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.

Play! 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<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTgwMzI5Ljg3NzE2NDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE4MDMyOS44NzcxNjQxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTA1MTAxJmVtYWlsaWQ9TGFuY2FzdGVyQzVAbWljaGlnYW4uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1MYW5jYXN0ZXJDNUBtaWNoaWdhbi5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&107&&&https://journals.ala.org/index.php/cal/article/view/6426> 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<mailto:lancasterc5 at michigan.gov>.

Hello Conference Goers!



Our CPA, Patrick McCarty, and I will be presenting at the 2018 Loleta Fyan
Small and Rural Libraries Conference (details below).  Our goal is to try
and answer those nagging budget or finance questions that you?ve been
meaning to address but have yet to carve out the time to do.  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! We will be discussing the basics and
intricacies of budgeting and finances based on the issues that directly
affect your daily work.

Description
The Mid-Michigan Digital Practitioners group (MMDP) is an award-winning regional collective of librarians, archivists, museum curators, conservators, historians, scholars, educators, and students engaged in creating and curating digital collections in Mid-Michigan and the surrounding region. They meet twice annually in the spring/fall. MMDP meetings are designed to provide a free and open forum for conversation, collaboration, and networking for all attendees.

This free one-day pre-conference event will take the place of the regularly scheduled 2018 Spring MMDP meeting and bring the normal two-day full experience of that meeting to attendees of the MiALA Annual Conference. This is a great opportunity to learn more about MMDP and build bridges of collaboration with the MiALA community.

MMDP regulars will be in attendance and provide:

  *   Birds-of-a-Feather Discussions
  *   Hands-on Technology Demonstrations
  *   Lightning Talks
  *   Poster Demonstrations
Intended Outcomes

  1.  Deliver a dynamic and diverse program to expose library and archives professionals to exciting digital projects at work in our state
  2.  Provide an opportunity for digital practitioners from across mid-Michigan to provide updates on their most recent developments and engage in constructive feedback with their peers
  3.  Seize upon the enthusiasm and forward-progress of MiALA and MMDP to foster a "meeting of the minds" and cross-pollination of ideas and collaborations between the two communities
Target Audience
This pre-conference event is geared towards librarians, archivists, curators, students and other professionals interested in engaging, learning about, or actively working on digital initiatives/projects to advance collections and scholarship at their institutions or across the state/region.

Presenter Information
Several of the current Mid-Michigan Digital Practitioner planning team members (Richard Adler, Robin Derminer, Melinda Isler, Elisa Landaverde, Dallas Pillen, Devon Proudfoot, Matt Schultz, and Bryan Whitledge) will be in attendance to present. Proposals are being accepted until April 6th - see the Call for Proposals at: https://midmichdp.wordpress.com/.<https://midmichdp.wordpress.com/>

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.

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.

For a link to the files used in April?s Librarygram, as well as instructions to customize it for your library visit:

Tweens Rock! (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.

[https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/wocket.jpg]

For more details on this, and other projects, visit Peter?s blog at: https://legolibrarian.com/2018/02/19/tween-programming-album-art-photo-contest/
