"The support for Michigan History Day was phenomenal this year," said Michigan History Day state coordinator Amy Bradfield. "More than 1,200 students and spectators attended the competition and 150 people volunteered as judges-that kind of turnout shows our youth that history is still very relevant and important today." Michigan History Day (National History Day in Michigan) offers a fascinating opportunity to move beyond routine learning. Based on an annual theme, students choose to explore and research a local, national or international historical topic. This year's theme is Conflict & Compromise in History. Students then present their work in one of five categories: performances, exhibits, papers, websites and documentaries. Lead sponsors of Michigan History Day 2018 are The Meijer Foundation, Frederick S. Upton Foundation, Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation, Amway and Bay City Public Schools. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # Editor's Note: For high-resolution photos of the individual winners, please contact the Historical Society of Michigan at hsm at hsmichigan.org.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS WITH MICHIGAN: THE PEOPLE, THE HISTORY, AND THE LEGEND This year marks the 20th anniversary of Michigan-based Sleeping Bear Press. This once small, regional publisher has grown internationally, but plans to continue giving back to the community that has supported them from the very first book?The Legend of Sleeping Bear. The fully-developed children?s publishing program includes board books, award-winning picture books, beginning reader series, middle-grade novels, and eBooks. Even though the press now publishes books with international authors and illustrators, they pledge to stay committed to Michigan. ?Our remarkable community always supported us and that?s why we are still publishing award-winning picture books about Michigan,? says Publisher Heather Hughes. ?We thank our partners; our authors and illustrators, the many booksellers, retailers and wholesalers, educators, librarians, parents, editorial review board, and readers of all ages who have supported our growth. In appreciation we?ve planned a year-long celebration filled with giveaways in multiples of 20; including free school visits, tote bags filled with books for libraries and schools, and more!? The press carefully nurtures its regional titles and is humbled with the opportunity to preserve Michigan?s natural landscape and history by publishing beautiful children?s books. Each book is a keepsake. ?Michiganders want to explore and re-experience the wonders of Michigan when they read our books,? says Sleeping Bear Press owner Ben Mondloch. ?When you are at home reading about your favorite Michigan tourist spot?the Dunes, or Mackinac Island?you want to go back. And when you are visiting, you are enriched by what you read and become inspired to read more.? This year will bring forth two special releases. Sleeping Bear Dunes has previously been voted as the most beautiful place in the United States by ABC?s Good Morning America viewers, so the Press is releasing The Legend of Sleeping Bear 20-year anniversary edition with extra content. The second special release, Nature?s Friend: The Gwen Frostic story is a picture book biography that tells the story behind the life and famous work of an inspiring Michigan woman.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services today announced the 10 recipients of the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation?s highest honor given to libraries and museums that make significant and exceptional contributions to their communities. Over the past 24 years, the award has celebrated 182 institutions that are making a difference for individuals, families, and communities. The award will be presented at an event at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., on May 24. Selected from 29 national finalists, the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service winners represent institutions that provide dynamic programming and services that exceed expected levels of service. Through their community outreach, these institutions bring about change that touches the lives of individuals and helps communities thrive. From a children?s museum in the Mile High City to a small public library in Texas, from a natural history museum in the Pacific Northwest to a Florida library system with a growing urban population, all are meeting the unique needs of their communities in innovative ways. The 2018 National Medal recipients are: ? Children?s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus (Denver, CO) ? The Detroit Historical Society (Detroit, MI) ? El Paso Museum of Art (El Paso, TX) ? Georgetown Public Library (Georgetown, TX) ? History Museum at the Castle (Appleton, WI) ? Orange County Library System (Orlando, FL) ? Pueblo City-County Library District (Pueblo, CO) ? Reading Public Library (Reading, PA) ? Rochester Public Library (Rochester, MN) ? University of Oregon?s Museum of Natural and Cultural History (Eugene, OR) ?It is a pleasure to recognize the 10 distinctive recipients of the National Medal of Museum and Library Service,? said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. ?Through their programs, services, and partnerships, these institutions exemplify the many ways that libraries and museums are positively transforming communities across the nation.? Following the ceremony, StoryCorps?a national nonprofit dedicated to recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of Americans?will visit each recipient and provide an opportunity for community members to share stories of how the institution has affected their lives. These stories are preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. The next deadline for nominating a museum or library for the 2019 National Medal is October 1, 2018.

The Institute will be held in Cincinnati, OH from September 27-29, 2018. In efforts to support ALSC?s goal of continuing education for children?s librarians, and to show ALSC?s dedication to equity and diversity, the Friends of ALSC are now offering three scholarships to the ALSC National Institute. The scholarships will include Institute registration (at the early bird rate) and a $1,000 travel stipend to cover airfare and hotel lodging. In the past, the Friends of ALSC only supported two scholarships. We have opened a third of the same amount to a North Carolina member who identifies as a member of the LGBTQAI+ community. ALSC hopes that this additional scholarship will continue to support the LGBTQAI+ community in North Carolina following the cancellation of the 2016 National Institute due to the state?s discriminatory legislation. Scholarship recipients must also all be ALSC members who work directly with children in a library setting. The ALSC National Institute, devoted solely to children?s and youth library services, offers a small, intimate setting for participating in programming and getting to know colleagues. Programs will delve into some of the most important topics in library service to children such as using local partnerships to improve programming, building support and advocating for your library, and how to incorporate diverse books in library programming. Participants are sure to go home feeling reinvigorated about the profession and more connected to others in the field. The online application must be submitted before midnight on May 9, 2018. Prior to submitting the application, seek permission from current supervisor for time off to attend the Institute. Winners will be notified in early June. For more information on the Institute scholarship including requirements and a link to the application form, please see the ALSC National Institute site. The Friends of ALSC was created to ensure excellence in the Association's traditional programs and services and to support growth in new directions as our profession meets the exciting challenges of the 21st century.

Here is some additional information regarding special licenses: https://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-10570_16941-391552--,00.html http://dmbinternet.state.mi.us/DMB/ORRDocs/AdminCode/1479_2014-141LR_AdminCode.pdf If the event is not part of the fundraising activities (for example, it is a celebration to thank volunteers, and everything is free), then that could possibly be different. It is definitely a good idea to call the Liquor Control Commission (866-813-0011) because the law is a bit tricky- especially if money is in any way related to the event. In addition, depending on where you are planning the event, I would also check your local ordinances and/or possibly with your local police department. Some local municipalities have prohibitions against alcohol in public (or publicly owned) places and buildings ? which the library would be. You would want to be sure your event is in compliance with your municipality?s charter and/ordinances too. Sincerely, Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

These guides can help residents plan their fish meals to ensure they are minimizing exposure to chemicals that can build up in fish, while still getting all of the health benefits eating fish provides. "The guide essentially provides a nutrition label for chemicals in locally-caught fish," said Nick Lyon, director at MDHHS. "The Eat Safe Fish Guides are easy to use and important resources that help families in Michigan consume fish safely." MDHHS only tests the portions of fish that people eat - typically the filets. The results from the state laboratory are used to determine what is safe for people to consume over the long-term. There are many health benefits to eating fish, and the Eat Safe Fish Guides help individuals choose the fish that are best for them and their families. Unlike the Michigan Department of Natural Resource's Michigan Fishing Guide, the MDHHS Eat Safe Fish Guides are not laws or regulations and no one is required to use them. Instead, the guides are a free resource for Michigan residents who would like information regarding what fish and how much is healthy to consume from various bodies of water across the state. Chemicals in fish are a worldwide problem that is not limited to Michigan and other Great Lakes states, but it is important to note that fish from some areas in Michigan are more contaminated than others. By using the Eat Safe Fish Guides, Michigan fish consumers can be confident that they are making informed choices about eating the fish they catch from their local lake or river. MDHHS has a lot of Eat Safe Fish educational materials available at no cost to you. The two that may be of most interest for libraries around the state are our Eat Safe Fish in Michigan brochures and/or our regional Eat Safe Fish Guides. * Eat Safe Fish in Michigan brochures - https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-71548_54783_54784_54785_58671-296069--,00.html * Pros: The brochures are small and provide the general concepts of our fish consumption guidelines. They're available in 5 other languages besides English. * Cons: They do not list area-specific guidelines. They require the patron to take another step and either go online to download the Guides directly or call our toll-free number to request a Guide be mailed to them for free to get specific safe fish information. * Eat Safe Fish Guides - https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-71548_54783_54784_54785_58671-296074--,00.html * Pros: The Guides list specific information about fish species from lakes and rivers around the state that have been tested for contamination. * Cons: They are multi-page booklets and harder to store when space is limited. * Recommendation: Order as many brochures as you'd like (they come in bundles of 100), and then order just a few guides and keep them on hand as a Library Copy or for people who may not have great access to resources. To order supplies of either of the documents above or anything else we have available, please visit: https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-71548_54783_54784_54785-338547--,00.html and fill out this form (it says it's for healthcare providers only, but it's ok).

Do you have a great programming idea for this year? Have you started the summer already? Please send your photos and any informative details to Luke Kralik at: luke.kralik at cslpreads.org I would love to share them in our newsletter. Looking for some ideas to use or share? https://www.pinterest.com/cslpreads/ PBS Resources: Libraries Rock! WQED, the PBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, PA is working with CSLP this year to help our member libraries augment their summer reading programming this year with resources from PBS. [https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/inquire-within.jpg] For the past three years WQED has been teaming up with its local libraries to encourage family engagement and a love of learning through a program called Inquire Within. Inquire Within has provided regional libraries with programming ideas, learning opportunities, resources supporting family/inter-generational centered activities. One component of Inquire Within is a manual of PBS resources structured around the chapter headings of the CSLP Manual. This year we are offering these resources to the entire CSLP membership. To access these resources login to the CSLP online manual and look for the ?Resources ? PBS? in the file tree. Or simply type PBS into the search box. The Inquire Within program is much more than just a collection of resources. It is a model you can use to collaborate with your own local PBS station. Former children?s librarian, and current WQED Education Team Manager, Liz Kostandinu has graciously agreed to help connect you to your own PBS affiliate. She can be contacted at lkostandinu at wqed.org. Reach out to her today and learn more about how the Inquire Within model can be used to bolster your own summer reading program! Upcoming Artists, Themes, and Slogans This year?s CSLP Annual Meeting took place in Denver, CO. Despite facing days that started with snow and ended in the mid 70?s, attendees were able to come together and select slogans for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 program years. Without further ado, the upcoming artists, themes, and slogans! 2020: Imagine Your Story With artist LeUyen Pham at the helm, 2020 is shaping up to be an outstanding program year for summer reading. With themes of fairytales, mythology, and fantasy, libraries of all shapes and sizes will have a magical starting point to dazzle their communities! 2021: Tails and Tales Few children?s illustrators are as uniquely suited to an animals themed program as Salina Yoon. Picture her work with ducks, penguins, and porcupines! Are you excited yet? It is quite possible that new levels of adorableness will be discovered in 2021. 2022: All Together Now While themes are always important, it is really the slogan that crystallizes the identity of the program year, and 2022 will be no different. Artist Sophie Blackall will be providing the illustrations, and it should be a wonderful year for libraries to highlight the unifying effect they have on their communities. What is on the horizon for CSLP? 2018: Theme/Music; Slogan/?Libraries Rock?; Artist/Brian Pinkney 2019: Theme/Space; Slogan/?A Universe of Stories?

What resources did you draw upon (don?t list resources; tell us about the resources and why they were helpful)? Had you received any training on handling challenges prior to the situation you describe? Have you received any since? Did your library have a procedure in place? If not, does it have one now? What did you learn from the experience? What advice would you give to someone in a similar situation? Writers should include the facts of the challenge.

Some of you were involved with the Michigan Instruction Exchange (MIX), an academic library instruction, low-cost conference, in the past when it was held at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Grand Valley State University, and Wayne State University. This year MIX will happen at Mott Community College and it is being led by a team of librarians from a variety of Flint-area schools. It has been GREAT working with this group, and I encourage you to send questions to Jill Sodt, the Conference Chair. This year's conference is about making connections. I think there are many folks on this listserv that have ideas about making connections both within college settings and between academic libraries and other types of libraries/organizations. I encourage you to save the date of the conference and to consider submitting a proposal. Follow the link below for more information. It's wonderful to see this conference continue 6 years after the first MIX. Past organizers are grateful for the support this year from MI-ALA. Thank you! Angie MIX it up with other librarians at the 2018 Michigan Instruction Exchange. The 4th biennial conference will be held on Friday, August 17, 2018 at the Mott Community College Library. More information will be posted shortly but the call for proposals is now open!! Find the CFP on the MiALA website here . Let's talk about Connections. How do we connect with each other, our students, our campuses, and beyond? Submit a program proposal by June 1 to be part of this exciting conference. Questions?

This message is specifically for adult graphic novel gurus :) We are building a brand new adult graphic novel collection here at ODL and we only have space at first for about 10 shelves. Can you reply off list and send me your TOP 5 adult graphic novels/series!? I've been doing some research but would love to add your thoughts as well. We have nice junior and teen graphic novel collections going that are quite popular - so I don't really need suggestions for the younger areas. I would be happy to compile the results and send out to everyone if you like. Thanks for your help. Have a great day! Andrea Andrea Estelle, MLIS Library Director .

Message-ID: _Here's my question and the replies I got:_ Hi all, I was told by my tech person that in order to track all wireless logins to our wifi, we'd have to get a separate router to do the job, as our current configuration won't pick that data up; it just shows the hits to the website. Since the Library of Michigan Annual Report has recently been asking for that info (it was in Section H, line 13 this past year), I just estimated it from a clipboard at the front desk, where we note patrons using their own laptops or tablets. But we're missing the users outside the building, phone use and whatnot that we don't notice. (We're a very small, Class I library.) Thanks for your help, -- _Susan Riegler_ Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library Hi. We used to use that same method. It was frustrating because we knew that we were missing a lot of people. I don't know the technical stuff, but we now have a "page" that when someone clicks on our wireless, pops up. There isn't a password, but they have to click on a box to agree to our policy. The software counts that so we know how many sessions happen. A session can last up to 3 hours, then they will have to log back in again. We use "untangle" software. Ann Eau Claire District Library Your tech can't just pluck these out of the air (and be believed); we have an appliance that does this and we keep the reports for a couple years as proof. Attached is an example. Here is a good presentation given in SE Michigan a couple years ago; and not by me. http://tln.lib.mi.us/dept/technology-services/wifi/files/techcomm/Best_Practices_for_Wireless_Statistics.pdf wishing you goodness, Mary Carleton; Farmington Community Library (Mary.Carleton at farmlib.org) I read my lists from old school account. Hi Susan, The Leelanau Township Library purchased a router and a contract with Sputnik (now part of a compnay called Lokket) to track wireless logins, connectivity. I didn't set up the contract (the former director did) but it works just fine and I'm happy with the service. http://sputnik.com [1] Nellie Hi Sue, We use a company called Sputnik (sputnik.com) that supplies us with the routers (we use two so we can cover the library and meeting room). It counts Wi-Fi users and also provides a "splash page" where users have to agree to our wireless use policy before they get onto the internet. Since we do not use internet filters and keep the Wi-Fi on 24/7 which can be accessed outside the building this splash page helps give us some legal protection from improper use of the internet. Sputnik costs us about $200.00 per year and it hasn't given us any trouble. _MARK MORTON_ Director Leland Township Public Library 203 E Cedar St Leland, MI 49654 231-256-9152 We count the unique MAC addresses that our DHCP server hands out in a day. It sounds like your budget is limited. Do you have a firewall? So the low-tech/annoying solution is to have your firewall or (most) router make a splash page to use the wi-fi. Set a guest password, and change it once a week or such. Then people will have to come get a slip to login, and you can physically count the users. Christian Dunham | Director Bullard Sanford Memorial Library 989-823-2171 | vassarlibrary.org | facebook.com/vassarlibrary Our Cisco Meraki wireless access point (MR 16?) has a dashboard of statistics that we can log into, info supplied includes number of unique users, devices accessing, operating systems, applications accessed - loads if detail! I used to have to leave that part of State Aid report blank. We're a class 4. It does count sessions - not just number of unique users. --- jude halloran, Highland Library, 248-887-2218 ext. 110 www.highlandlibrary.info [2] Hello Susan, Have you looked into any software solutions to help you count this? You might want to check out a service like Who's On My WiFi or reconfigure your router for the WiFi connection counts and use something like Google Analytics to count your web traffic. I think you would probably be surprised how many external WiFi uses you get. Thank you, Joseph Hamlin Library Data Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo St. P.O.

Has there been any maintenance as far as the discs, cleaning, replacing damaged games? 6. In what way do you store them? Behind the circulation desk/out in the open on the shelves? 7. Do you add/take any additional security measures to the cases? 8. What has been the general attitude regarding them? Thank you very much! Please reply directly to me, off the list.

I am searching for libraries who have generators for their whole facility. After the recent ice storm and last weekends winds in our area, our small community lost power both times, and there are still some without power today. There is no place in our town for people to go, especially the elderly if they live alone, when this happens. I have been mulling around the idea of the library as a place for people to come if this happens again. We are not trying to be a Red Cross site, this would be on a temporary basis like 24-36 hours type of thing. Does anyone out there provide this type of community service? I'd love to hear from you. Please respond off list...please and thank you! Kate 6495 Pine Street Cass City, MI 48726 989-872-2856 989-872-4073 fax -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The table is 50" in diameter, and stands 29" high. I will attach a photo. You can have four of the wooden chairs shown if you want them, but you do not have to take them if you don't.

A few years ago, we re-decorated our teen room, which led to us having an extra, round, wooden table. We've shifted it all over the library, but it has become clear that we no longer have the space for it. So, we are selling the table for $50, or best offer. The table is 50" in diameter, and stands 29" high. I will attach a photo. You can have four of the wooden chairs shown if you want them, but you do not have to take them if you don't. Also, you would have to pick it up. Thanks, Cory Grimminck Portland District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are seeking a stellar Chief of Staff who is committed to sparking curiosity and connections through literacy and learning in Topeka and Shawnee County, Kansas. The Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library seeks an experienced leader to serve as Chief of Staff and position the library to help transform the lives of its citizens through its five community impact goals. The Chief of Staff holds the primary responsibility of the day-to-day monitoring and ongoing coordination of strategic operational and administrative functions-and daily collaboration with other departments throughout the system. This award-winning Library has a 21st-century landmark building featuring the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery, the Millennium Caf? and the Chandler "Booktique" (bookstore and gift shop). The Library is governed by a 10-member Board of Trustees, supported by a stellar staff of 220, an $18.1 million annual operating budget, strong digital services, and committed community outreach. More than 3,000 people walk through its doors daily and check out more than 2.5 million items each year. The library's mobile services travel across the county and provide services to 55 senior living facilities, 80 preschools and many homebound customers. The library also serves customers through a 24/7 digital branch. The library offers state-of-the art technology, youth programs that encourage learning and reading, accessibility services addressing the needs of older readers and persons with disabilities, and reference and research tools. It has something for everyone. Topeka (the state capital and third largest city in Kansas) is in the heart of Shawnee County along the Kansas River and is a thriving seat of government, education, cultural events and entrepreneurial spirit. Last year, Kiplinger Finance Magazine designated Topeka one of the top ten cities for the next decade. Neighborhoods, schools, civic and cultural activities, and economic incentives combine to make Topeka one of the best small metros in the United States with an overall cost of living more than 10 percent below the national urban area average. There are 60,000 university students within a 60-mile radius of Topeka, including Topeka's own Washburn University flanked by Kansas University to the east and Kansas State University to the west. The city draws young talent to make up a diverse and highly skilled workforce and add to its vibrancy and appeal. The arts are alive and well in Topeka with more than 20 galleries, performing and visual artist venues and the NOTO Arts District that offers studio space and display opportunities in a collaborative environment. Topeka's Momentum 2022 plan has instilled a can-do attitude in our community. With more than 30,000 people working in the downtown area daily, there's momentum for new businesses, retail, restaurants, events and community pride! Responsibilities. The Chief of Staff reports directly to the library's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and leads operational and administrative functions for Collections, Community & Strategic Services, Facilities, Public Services and Safety & Security while encouraging high performance and accountability. This position assists the CEO and Management Council ensuring that services and resources align with organizational priorities and are reflective of, and responsive to, identified community needs. By using appropriate leadership practices, measuring performance expectations, adjusting outputs/outcomes to meet the changing priorities and conditions internally and externally, and working side by side with the library's Leadership Team to provide professional development activities for staff, the Chief of Staff will help lead the library into the future. See Library Links for more information about the Library, the position and the community. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a bachelor's degree and extensive experience managing a library or similar organization and five years of supervisory experience including three years of experience supervising managers or supervisor level staff. A Master's degree in library or information science from a program accredited by the American Library Association is preferred. Any equivalent combination of training, education and experience which provides the required knowledge, skills and abilities to successfully perform the job may be considered. Desired skills and attributes include: comprehensive knowledge of library organization and professional library principles; ability to evaluate library systems and programs and to develop and implement new or improved methods; skill in coaching, conflict resolution and leading individuals and teams creating a culture of trust and collaboration; ability to provide leadership and guidance throughout the organization and promote the values set forth in the library's mission statement and core values; ability to communicate effectively under various circumstances orally and in writing; and ability to function effectively in a team-oriented environment. Compensation. The hiring salary range is $75,000 - $94,120 (with placement negotiable dependent on experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package.

Attached are the responses I received about libraries having backup generators. I appreciate all the insight from this group! I received many responses and it is interesting to see how many are considering the same thing. The next step is deciding on procedures and policies to follow if we install one. Do we just use it during regular library hours when the power is out or do we remain open 24 hours? This brings up staffing and perhaps safety issues. Thoughts??? What I have learned researching this topic: TALK TO AN ELECTRICIAN! I am so fortunate that our electrician came right out and looked at our situation. 1) Power generators are rated according to the number of kilowatts (kW) of electricity they produce. 15 kW can run a small to mid-size home, 25kW and up is like a mini power plant and can run a small to mid-sized home or business. *Note that the total running and starting watts of all the appliance being used at one time should not exceed the power source?s wattage. A/C units draw a lot of power. 2) The units can run on natural gas, propane, or diesel fuel. 3) There are single phase and three phase models which one you can run depends on your electrical system. 4) They come with 5 different decibel levels: Industrial Quiet, Residential Quiet, Super Quiet, Ultra Quiet, and Entertainment Industry Quiet. 5) Depending upon size, you may need a cement pad installed too. 6) They should come with a warranty and make sure to ask about a maintenance plan. 7) Consider grants if you want to pursue this. Homeland Security is not an option (FYI) but county foundations and WalMart may be willing to assist as it is for the good of the community. Again, thank you for your input. I really appreciate it!

FOX LAW LIBRARY WINS THE LIBERTY BELL AWARD Message-ID: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 11, 2018 CONTACT Farrell Howe Marketing and Communication Manager Kalamazoo Public Library 269-553-7879 Kalamazoo Public Library's Raymond J. Fox Law Library Wins The Liberty Bell Award Kalamazoo, MI ? Friday, May 11, 2018. The Kalamazoo Public Library's Raymond J. Fox Law Library was awarded the Kalamazoo Bar Association's (KCBA) Liberty Bell Award at the association's annual Law Day gathering on May 3, 2018. The Liberty Bell Award is bestowed upon a KCBA member who has made a significant contribution to the community outside the legal profession, without financial gain. KPL's housing of the County Law Library is a model for great intergovernmental and private cooperation. In the late 1990's, during the renovation of the Kalamazoo Public Library's Central location, Kalamazoo County funded the conversion of former storage space within the lower level of the public library to house the County Law Library. This move provided lawyers, law students and the general public convenient access to legal materials outside of normal business hours. Kalamazoo County continues to assist KPL with legal resource costs while a strong partnership with the Kalamazoo County Bar Association to schedule and host free legal clinics allows the Law Library to continue its mission of directing patrons seeking legal information to reputable and relevant resources. The need for legal assistance in our community is great. According to a 2017 report from the Legal Services Corporation, nearly 17% of Kalamazoo County residents are living poverty, 33% in the City of Kalamazoo. Over the course of a year, 71% of low-income households experience at least one civil legal problem. The Raymond J. Fox Law Library at KPL is there to provide critical access to unrepresented individuals seeking legal help in our community. The success of KPL's Raymond J. Fox Law Library would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the staff. Congratulations to Caitlin Hoag, Amy Alcenius-Hoisington, Matt Smith, Zack Hunkins, Christine Hann, and Ryan Gage for a job well done.

I have compiled the list of the wonderful recommendations everyone sent me for building our new Adult Graphic Novel collection, I had many requests for the results to be shared. If a title had more than one recommendation I put the number of recommendations behind it in parentheses. I also included any helpful links I was sent. The top 5 most-recommended series were: * Walking Dead * Saga * Maus 1 and 2 * Watchmen * Sandman We are very excited for our new collection!

This message is specifically for adult graphic novel gurus :) We are building a brand new adult graphic novel collection here at ODL and we only have space at first for about 10 shelves. Can you reply off list and send me your TOP 5 adult graphic novels/series!? I've been doing some research but would love to add your thoughts as well. We have nice junior and teen graphic novel collections going that are quite popular - so I don't really need suggestions for the younger areas. I would be happy to compile the results and send out to everyone if you like. Thanks for your help. Have a great day! Andrea Andrea Estelle, MLIS Library Director .

As you can imagine, library staff is a rather large user group, and the current MeL site...isn't doing the best it can. A group of graduate students from the University of Michigan School of Information helped us out by MeL.org under close scrutiny. They were able to compile the following findings, some of which may seem familiar to you: * Library staff find it hard to navigate or locate desirable information from the vast pool of resources * The Promotion & Training section does not adequately convey which trainings are available in which subheading. * The inability to search all MeL resources through the databases search is confusing to users, especially in the Promotion & Training section. Interested in seeing their full report? They posted their final report in video form to YouTube. Their findings, together with our own research, and the great feedback we received in the card sorting exercise at the Loleta Fyan Small and Rural Libraries Conference will all contribute to the new MeL.org. [cid:image004.png at 01D3ECEB.CEBF2760]Brought to you by Kathy Kosinski of the MeL Team. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

TAKE ACTION NOW! Contact your Senator TODAY to Save Library Penal Fines House Bill 5090 must be stopped. House Bill 5090 changes how fines from weigh stations are distributed. Under the proposed legislation, failure to stop at a weigh station would be changed from a misdemeanor to a civil infraction and exempt certain vehicles. This means a reduction in penal fines to libraries since civil infraction penalties are lower than misdemeanor penalties. This bill moved through the House without recognition of an analysis that found it will reduce library funding. Please contact your Senator and urge them to talk with Sen. Tom Casperson, chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, to tell him your library opposes this bill as it negatively impacts library funding. Email, call or tweet your message using MLA's Advocacy Action Center. Use the sample email messages and talking points provided or share a personal message on how a reduction in penal fines will negatively impact your library. Encourage your Senator to contact MLA or GCSI with further questions. To contact your Senator today go to http://cqrcengage.com/alami/action and click the "Take Action" button. If you have questions, please contact us at 517-394-2774 or MLA at milibraries.org.

Details below. Please let me know if you end up volunteering. -Steve ________________________________ From: Sarah Ostman Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2018 1:30 PM To: Steven Bowers Subject: call for advisors - public library services for new Americans ALA's Public Programs Office is assembling a group of advisors for a new project about public library services for new Americans. We'd love to have representation from Michigan on this group. Interested people can contact Melanie Welch at mwelch at ala.org. Thanks! Sarah Ostman ALA Public Programs Office ***** Hello, I?m Melanie Welch, a project director in the Public Programs Office at the American Library Association (ALA). I?m reaching out to request your participation in a planning project. ALA is launching this project to explore ways to expand public library services for new Americans ? that is, refugees, immigrants and displaced persons. ALA?s goal in this planning stage of the project is to create a comprehensive agenda for national distribution of service models, professional development for library workers, alignment of best practices and correlation to existing methods for program outcome measurement. We are assembling a group of public librarians and their community partner organizations with experience in providing services to new Americans to participate on a National Advisory Team for the project. We will select 8 librarians and 8 community partners to join the National Advisory Team. Each advisor will receive a $500 honorarium, and the main activities will occur from June-November 2018. The duties of each librarian advisor/library partner on the team will be: 1. Participate in monthly conference calls to share expertise, provide insight and feedback, propose content and contribute knowledge to project evaluators and ALA staff. 2. Conduct independent research as needed and report back to the team to assist in landscape review, focus groups and stakeholder meetings. This research will be needed to identify 1) existing replicable service models for new Americans at public libraries nationwide; 2) existing resources, grants and initiatives to help facilitate strong library programming; and 3) gaps in service that could be ameliorated by the creation and distribution of library best practices. 3. Attend one in-person, full-day stakeholder meeting in September (date TBD, location planned for Chicago or Washington, DC). Travel expenses will be covered by ALA. To be considered as an advisor, please email a resume and one paragraph biography (max 300 words) to me at mwelch at ala.org by Thursday, May 31. Please also feel free to forward this message to anyone you think would make a good candidate for this opportunity.

I received a lot of answers and will be exploring some of these options further. For those who asked, this is what I received: We just had Mike Fornes talk about the USCGC Mackinaw. He gave a very interesting and entertaining presentation and sold his books at the end. He also does a Mackinaw Bridge presentation as well as the Edmund Fitzgerald. If interested, I can send you his contact information. He charges $250.00 (*Mary Vergowven, Reference Librarian, Bedford Branch, Library,Monroe County Library System)* I have worked with the Eichers multiple times. They do wonderful programs. That said, they are VERY enthusiastic about promoting their programs. So if you inquire with them, be prepared for multiple emails and phone calls, both before and after you book them, and during the next programming cycle. (Britney, Library Director , Alvah N. Belding Memorial Library ) I?d suggest Roger Rosentreter from the History Department at Michigan State University. I find his presentations fascinating. He usually speaks on Michigan in the Civil War and/or Michigan Military History. All his talks are well illustrated with projected visuals. See URL below for biographical sketch. ( http://history.msu.edu/people/faculty/roger-rosentreter/) Le Roy G. Barnett, Grand Ledge MI We?re going to have Ric Mixter, shipwrecks expert, do a program on the sinking on the Edmund Fitzgerald in the fall. http://www.ricmixter.com/lectures. Our program description will read: Learn about the day that the ?gales of November came early? and the Mighty Fitz took its fatal plunge. Shipwreck expert Ric Mixter, who has produced over thirty programs for PBS, the Outdoor Channel and VisionTV network, is a captivating speaker who will share his extensive knowledge, along with underwater video. (Eileen Button, GDL Community Relations Asst.) We?ve had Al and Dave for several programs. They do excellent work. Their programs are engaging and very well done. I especially like the Amelia Earhart program and the orphan train program. We liked them so well that we had them produce a documentary film about our own historic Hoyt Library. (Kim White, Head of Hoyt Library, Public Libraries of Saginaw) We were contacted by this person, but we have not used him for a program yet, probably be this Fall. Maybe he has a presentation relating the Civil War and Michigan: It was a pleasure speaking with you this afternoon. You can take a look at my work at www.civilwarnovels.com In addition to writing, I give talks at service club meetings and libraries. I can be contacted at this e mail address or by phone at 989 2458656. Dr. Michael J.

These are a few of the speakers we have had who have been good. Most of them have been here multiple times: - Russell Dore, doreproductions at yahoo.com (auto, aviation, and presidential history) - Michael Hauser, mhauser at motopera.org (Detroit retail and theaters) - Joe Oldenburg, zed796 at gmail.com (prohibition, Michigan statehood, auto industry) - Tobin Buhk, tobin at tobinbuhk.com (true crime stories) - Gail Offen & Jon Milan, gmoffen at gmail.com (Grand River Ave, Ann Arbor restaurants) - Tom Stanton, stanton.th at gmail.com (Detroit Tigers history) Amy Crockett Outreach Services Clerk Hamburg Township Library I've had Al and Dave Eicher come for two presentations while I've been a part of the Adult Services Department at the Auburn Hills Public Library and I know we also used them before I started as well. They are very engaging presenters and always draw in a crowd for our older patrons who like to hear about historical topics. We just did When Hollywood Went to War a couple of months ago and got a lot of good feedback from the public on it. The only drawback is that Al and Dave can be a bit expensive depending on your budget. (Joshua Campeau, Adult Services Librarian, Auburn Hills Public Library) You might try the Michigan History Center in Lansing to see if they have anyone available. (Cindy Krueger, Marketing & Outreach, Dept. of Natural Resources) Al and Dave Eicher are very good and easy to work with. (Barb King,St. Clair County Library) Our local historical society and friends have had Mike Fornes speak on the history of the Mackinaw bridge and also he did his Gordon Lightfoot tribute program. He gets good reviews. http://hsmichigan.org/resources/storytellers-speakers-performers/presenter-mike-fornes/ Also, many friends groups at our branches and the local historical societies have had Ric Mixter, also with good reviews. http://www.ricmixter.com/ (Arleen Wood, Iosco-Arenac) My name is Tim Gleisner and I am the Head of the Special Collections at the Library of Michigan. I was forwarded your Michlib post on any possible Michigan History speakers. I just wanted to make you aware that myself and Matt Pacer, both of the Library of Michigan, present on Michigan Historical and Genealogical topics throughout the state at libraries and societies. Our fee is free since this would be through our work at the Library of Michigan.Please feel free in contacting me if you are at all interested. (Tim Gleisner) We've had Jack Dempsey, 2-time MI Notable Book author, at our library twice over the years. His MI Notable books were: 2012's Michigan and the Civil War: A Great and Bloody Sacrifice, and Ink Trails: Michigan's Famous & Forgotten Authors in 2013. He's published a sequel to Ink Trails since then, as well as a book about Michigan at Antietam (the single bloodiest day of the Civil War), and a book on Capitol Park in downtown Detroit. He was well-received, especially the Civil War-related program. Jack is both knowledgeable and very personable. Here's his contact info if you're interested: John M. (Jack) Dempsey 9400 Northhampton Dr. Plymouth, MI 48170 734-358-5752 jdempsey at dickinson-wright.com This past fall we had Tom Carr, author of Blood on the Mitten: Infamous Michigan Murders 1700s to Present. True crime remains a popular genre, and add in the Michigan element and even moreso. Here's his contact info. as well: Tom Carr 6420 W. Four Rd. Mesick, MI 49668 231-409-6074 thomasrobertcarr at gmail.com (David M. Stokes, Adult Services Librarian, Milford Public Library) I've worked with Al and Dave in the past. They did a presentation on the orphan train in Michigan which was great. They are a bit pricey. I seem to remember them charging about $500 for their presentations. I would suggest contacting Arcadia Press ( https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Home). They publish the "Images of America" series and have a lot of books on MI history. I have worked with them many times. The authors are wonderful and I can usually get a speaker for $75-$100. I would also recommend contacting WSU Press (http://www.wsupress.wayne.edu/). I have had a lot of luck getting MI history speakers from them too. (Jillian Baker, Head of Adult Services, Main Library,Farmington Community Library) I am new to this position but my staff have strong opinions about Al and Dave Eicher. They do not recommend them. While the content is factual the presentation is not interesting and doesn?t capture the audience?s attention very well. Sorry to say. We have recently had Derek Blount, Vice President of the Oakland County Genealogical Society give a talk on finding out about ancestry through ship manifests and other voyage documents. He was very well received and interesting. Don?t know if that fits with Michigan history that you?re looking for but he may be open to discussing it.

Though we are a small community - the population of our service area is only 26,000 - we really ARE community, not just a place to live and work. Gladwin County District Library encompasses the entire county of Gladwin. It operates two libraries: one in Gladwin and one in Beaverton. It has enjoyed strong support from both its patrons and its voters. Our operating millage was renewed through 2025 with 61% voting yes. Despite the tough economic times of recent years, both of our library facilities have been upgraded, while maintaining balanced budgets and strong fund equity. Our staff is highly qualified and even more highly motivated - this is certainly not a one-horse operation. An active Genealogy Society provides hundreds of hours of volunteer staffing and research assistance each month in our large, well-provisioned local and family history research facility. Each library has a large, well-equipped Children's library, and boasts modern, well-appointed meeting rooms. Friends of the Gladwin County District Library provides plenty of support for library extras by hosting semi-annual used book sales. We are also very proud of the participation rate in library programs for adults and children. Please note our statistics as posted below. Our community boasts an active and very affordable housing market, top-notch schools with successful academic and athletic programs, indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities, excellent medical facilities, and plenty of employment opportunities for spouses and other family members. Our population is stable with a good mix of the old families and the more recent. We are small enough to get to know everybody, but large enough to find privacy when you want it. There are churches of virtually every major denomination , and non-denominational as well. In short, Gladwin County is a great place to live, a fabulous place to raise a family, and a supportive place for you to prosper and grow both professionally and personally. If you appreciate the pace and space of small communities over the hectic tempo of larger cities, perhaps you should consider making your life and your work here in Gladwin County. Please see the details of our position posting in the linked PDF file. http://www.gcdl.org/sites/default/files/LibraryDirectorJobPosting.pdf A general sense of the community may be found on Facebook at Pure Gladwin County. https://www.facebook.com/pg/PureGladwinCounty/photos/?tab=albums A brief slide show depicting the advantages of Gladwin County may be found at: https://youtu.be/JPcuHOesxbY Additional current community information is available from the Gladwin County Chamber of Commerce. https://www.gladwincountychamber.org/ You may get a sense of our school systems by visiting their web sites. https://www.gladwinschools.net/ https://www.beavertonruralschools.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hello to all- On a parallel posting to one earlier this week.... I am looking for an in-depth set of resources on the effects of adult literacy training in the Migrant Worker population in Michigan in particular, and more broadly, on how adult literacy in migrant labor populations in the regions affect concepts of social justice for a patron. I'm drawing a few hits in my own searching, but wonder if someone has done more in-depth research I can return to my patron, and to the Adrian Dominican Sisters community for further consideration. Here in Adrian, also in Detroit, and in 3 other locations, ADS sponsors basic to advanced adult literacy training for the poorest, as a means to seek social justice, and having more information would be useful. Thanks- Dennis Hillers, MSLIS Librarian Adrian Dominican Sisters St. Catherine of Siena Library, Madden Hall 1257 Siena Heights Dr. Adrian, Michigan 49221 [cid:image001.png at 01D2D589.EDADC570] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <2054440388.181959.1527095096591.JavaMail.zimbra@tln.lib.mi.us> Good Afternoon Everyone, I have some very good news to share: the 11th year of the MAP program starts tomorrow, Thursday, May 24, 2018. From our somewhat humble beginnings in Fall, 2007 as the Museum Adventure Pass program that included 30 destinations and public libraries in six metro Detroit counties, the Michigan Activity Pass program of 2018-2019 features 443 partner destinations available to patrons of the 638 participating public library buildings. More good news: every one of the MAP destinations that participated in 2017-2018, has opted to stay with the program for 2018-2019! This tells us that besides being good sports and agreeing to absorb a hit at the gate (unlike the case with nearly every other public library/museum partnership around the country, our partner destinations receive no financial compensation), our partner destinations also recognize the promotional and public relations value that goes along with being part of a program that now has in excess of 6,000 Facebook likes https://www.facebook.com/MIActivityPass/ Speaking of promotion, the very popular MAP brochures have been updated for 2018-2019 and are available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ (yes, the header reads 2017-2018 MAP brochures; we will get that corrected). During the past year I have gotten multiple queries from librarians across the country, asking about MAP. How did we start it, how do we fund it, how do we pay our partner destinations (remember, we don't), how would you recommend we go about starting our own program, etc. That librarians around the United States are not only aware of MAP but seek to emulate it is a tribute to your hard work to promote the program to your patrons. That said, remember that there is only one genuine MAP program, the Michigan one. Accept no substitutions or imitations! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program, and here's to an even more successful 2018-2019! Sincerely, Jim F.

Here are the responses received. PLAYAWAYS SURVEY May 22, 2018 Questions: Are any libraries still circulating Playaways? We had a patron request that we start a Playaway collection, but I'm wondering if that is an old technology that would not get used much. Thanks for your feedback! Newaygo Area District Library -- We have about eight for elementary/tween age patrons. They are checked out all the time. Royal Oak PL -- We circulate Playaways and from my limited experience filling in for Circ duties, I rarely see them go out or be returned. However, we do have Playaway Views in our Juvenile collection and those are more popular, so I guess it depends on what format you're looking for. If you want, have the patron look at our collection online and we can loan them some through the shared system. :-) Royal Oak PL (another staff person) -- We still circ Playaways but our youth media person said the company is going to quit making them and go with their Playaway launchpad product. I think that is the name. We decided against adding launch pads for a couple of reasons. Playaways and Playawayviews were quite popular at ROPL for awhile. Farmington Library -- Patrons at our library love Playaways and check them out all the time, in Children's anyway. For audio books, we will often choose a Playaway over a CD. Brighton Library -- They're still popular at my library (at least in the youth department). I've been purchasing more Playaways since CDs seem to be the aging technology these days. Brighton Library (another staff person) -- We have them still but nobody is checking them out! I was considering pulling the collection off the shelf as they are becoming too dated Colon Library -- I think most libraries are using mainly audiobooks and digital downloads. If it were my patron, I'd order off of MEL rather than start a new collection. They aren't cheap. Novi PL -- I know that Royal Oak Public Library still has them and I believe that Baldwin Public Library (Birmingham) still carries them as well. Our has been discontinued, but I?m afraid that as I was not in charge of the collection I can?t remember the exact details. Something about cost and replacements (I think). We got rid of ours a few years ago. Freeport Library -- We still have some Playaways that we circulate, but because of problems with the Playaways, we stopped purchasing them. The ones we have do not get a lot of circulation. Leighton Township Library -- We have had them for about 10 years. They are fading... Lyon Twp Library -- As far as I know, Baldwin PL still circulates youth playaways, but I think they withdrew all their adult and teen ones. Hamburg Library -- We stopped circulating Playaways two years ago as they were not going out much anymore. Clarkston Independence Library -- When I left last year, Genesee District Library was still circulating these through the Talking Books Center in Flint. Lapeer District Library -- We still have a playaway collection but I am not currently buying any more new ones. Patrons love them but they are more expensive than the traditional audiobook on cd. My biggest problem with them are that they aren't fixable when patrons report a problem. I can't see damage the way I can with an audio cd and I have to replace the whole thing not just a single disc that was the problem. The only thing I can do is discard them if there is a problem with them. I end up listening to the whole audiobook to see where the problem spot was and to see how bad it is but I don't have time to do this and therefore, I have a lot waiting to be looked at. I really see them as a transition object between audiobooks on cd and the downloadable audiobooks, both of which we have. More and more patrons are listening to downloadable audio, so I phased them out. I am curious to hear what other libraries responses are too. Milan PL -- We still are -- both in adult and juvenile. Not a big circ turnover, but we do get some use out of them. Cadillac PL -- In our Children's Room, we've started to move exclusively to playaways. I find that an increasing number of patrons do not own CD players at home or in the car but they still want a physical audio book rather than a digital copy. I'm sure that will change as time goes on and we will move to exclusively digital content audio but this is the stop gap that is working for us right now. We often have to explain the technology but once people understand the concept they are delighted and intrigued and they love the fact that they can get a book for each individually child to enjoy instead of everyone listening to the same book. Although, we also circulate auxiliary cords so the playaways can be played through car stereos with the auxiliary port. I hope this helps! Zeeland Library -- We are still circulating Playaways. This is my take on these. They are well liked by our community, but the Playaways are NOT built to last longer than 1 year. They are time consuming and I have come to the point that it isn't worth the $70.00 replacement cost after 1 year. Our patrons would like us to have more variety, but that is difficult based on the purchase and replacement cost for this program. I am at a point of seriously considering dropping this program. Commerce Township Community Library -- At one of my former libraries, we discontinued Playaways because they were so expensive, broke easily, and playaway didn't have any kind of replacement/wear & tear policy. Not only that, but it was bothersome for patrons to supply their own batteries for the device. Books on CD and digital audiobooks through Libby/Hoopla/RB Digital are so much higher in demand that Playaways aren't really necessary. Hackley Library -- We are. We were going to let it go, but since we renewed the contract in January we decided to let it expire naturally in December. We have a number of them checked out now, and they're always more popular in the summer. We'll revisit it next fall. Our community is relatively low tech, since over 50% of our households do not have internet access. Wixon Library -- We actually got rid of the small playaway collection we had. It was not used much and we also had to troubleshoot the devices a lot. Houghton Lake Library -- At HLPL, we have kept up our Playaway collection. We are finding it to be more of a draw as new cars no longer come with CD players. We even took the brochures to our local car dealer and they pass them out with new purchases. They were happy to have an answer to the no CD player questions they get as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Genesee District Library -- Genesee District Library still has a Playaway collection, and the items still circulate. But we have purchased very few of them since 2011. Two reasons?they were quite expensive compared to print items, and we felt then that they were a transitional format. Now that (nearly) everybody has a smart phone, we put our money into ebooks. Clinton-Macomb Library -- We still circulate and buy Playaways, though they don?t circ as much as our Audio book on CD collection. (I work with the adult collections.) We have seen some patrons becoming interested if they get a new car without a CD player, but we also point them to our downloadable content.

This training follows the same method as the three that were brought to Michigan recently by the Library of Michigan and MCLS. The American Library Association (ALA) and The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation announce a three-day training opportunity to help libraries strengthen their role as agents of positive change in their communities. The Public Innovators Lab for Libraries will be held Oct. 9 to 11, 2018, in St. Louis, Missouri. Librarians, community partners and stakeholders in libraries of all types - public, academic, school and special libraries - are invited to attend. Participants must register online by Friday, Sept. 28. The cost is $995 per person, and team participation is encouraged. Through discussions, hands-on activities and collaborations with like-minded library professionals, participants will learn to: * tap libraries' natural values to contribute to the greater good and bring their communities together * surface people's shared aspirations for their communities and help bring them to life * convene and lead productive, insightful community conversations * become stewards of public knowledge ALA and the Harwood Institute have collaborated to offer six Public Innovators Labs, and the two organizations worked together on ALA's Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC) initiative. The collaboration is based on the idea that libraries, by virtue of their trusted position in their communities, are uniquely suited to help solve challenges of all types, from illiteracy to drug epidemics to distrust in government. The Public Innovators Lab for Libraries is based on Harwood's Turning Outward approach, which emphasizes making the community the reference point for getting things done. This shift in orientation is achieved through practical steps: taking measures to better understand communities; being proactive about community issues; and putting community ambitions first. Libraries and library professionals around the country are using the Harwood Institute's approach to: * lead conversations with community members to better understand their goals and concerns * develop library strategic plans that benefit the library and the greater community * connect with underserved segments of the library's service area * overcome political gridlock * create professional development opportunities that meet the library system's needs Read additional success stories of libraries using the Harwood Institute's Turning Outward approach.

Job Posting http://plymouthlibrary.org TITLE: Digital Services and Emerging Technologies Librarian Full time ? 40 hours per week Schedule includes day, evening, and weekend hours Salary $48,546.00 - $53,444.00 OUR LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY: The library?s mission is to connect, enrich, and improve lives through information, services, and spaces. Our core values are: access, literacy, community destination, and personalized service. The Plymouth District Library is located in busy downtown Plymouth, MI, midway between Detroit and Ann Arbor. The library is a member of The Library Network. We serve the Plymouth Community which is comprised of 36,650 residents living in the City of Plymouth and the Charter Township of Plymouth, as well as the patrons of 75 Detroit-area libraries through a reciprocal borrowing agreement facilitated by The Library Network. The library serves as a significant community hub and maintains strong partnerships with local and regional community groups, governments, schools, businesses, and cultural organizations. Plymouth?s rich history has included the library for nearly 100 years. Strong community support has resulted in a dedicated perpetual millage, a robust Friends organization, and more than 100 adult volunteers. Over a 1,000 visitors a day use the library to participate in programs, use our meeting and study rooms, borrow materials, use technology, and connect with others. In addition we serve a growing and robust digital community 24/7. The library recently completed a $3 million building repair project which included facility upgrades to improve accessibility and energy efficiencies and maintain our twenty- year- old building for generations to come. Significant network and technology infrastructure improvements will be completed shortly and are being supported by a growing technology staff. The library contributes significantly to the high quality of life available in the Plymouth community. Our sense of community is created by beautiful neighborhoods, spacious parks, robust sport, cultural and arts organizations, and dedicated community service organizations. Our vibrant, walkable downtown is full of unique shops, restaurants, entertainment and recreational options, all surrounding Kellogg Park as the centerpiece and host of year-round events. The library is just steps from all of this in our central downtown location and plays an active role in community events. The elected Board of Trustees and the Directors of the Friends Board are all committed to meeting the needs of the community, now and into the future.

There are many free logging solutions available, but we use a paid for product called AlienVault. You can do the same for individual Access Points, if you don't have a centrally managed wireless solution. Once all the logs are centralized, you create a search for successful logins and then export the results into something like Excel. Some logging solutions are sophisticated enough to produce nice looking reports, but most require some type of basic syntax language in order to effectively search the raw syslog's for this level of detail. Since you'll need a logging solution to accomplish this task, I suggest your research includes support for your specific wireless solution. For example, we have a Ruckus wireless solution, so when we researched loggers one of our requirements was that the logger had the ability to identify and parse Ruckus Syslog events, and more importantly it could identify successful logons/access. This allows the logger to earmark these types of logon/access events specifically, making your life easier to produce the desired reporting. One solution you might want to look into is Splunk. They have a free version that is good for up to so much storage per day (storage in disk storage size, not number of events) and as long as you only point your wireless to it, you should be well under the daily limit. As loggers go (and ya, loggers can get complicated) this is one of the 'free' loggers I found to be rather easy to use and produce the exact type of reports and dashboards you are looking for. There are also third party cloud based solutions where you simply point your wireless users to an external proxy server and the cloud service will gather information and allow you to produce reports, but this will result in an annual subscription cost. Depending on the cost, it may or may not be less expensive than supporting your own in house logging solution, even when considering labor alone as the upfront time to get a logger up and running, collecting logs and producing results in a form that makes sense can be very time consuming. However, I have not personally researched cloud solutions...so I don't have much insight to share. Bottom line, I don't see any reason why you would need additional hardware to accomplish this. Then again, I am not intimately acquainted with your network infrastructure. I hope this information helps. Pete Sneathen I.T.

Here's my question and the replies I got: Hi all, I was told by my tech person that in order to track all wireless logins to our wifi, we'd have to get a separate router to do the job, as our current configuration won't pick that data up; it just shows the hits to the website. Since the Library of Michigan Annual Report has recently been asking for that info (it was in Section H, line 13 this past year), I just estimated it from a clipboard at the front desk, where we note patrons using their own laptops or tablets. But we're missing the users outside the building, phone use and whatnot that we don't notice. (We're a very small, Class I library.) Thanks for your help, -- Susan Riegler Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library Hi. We used to use that same method. It was frustrating because we knew that we were missing a lot of people. I don't know the technical stuff, but we now have a "page" that when someone clicks on our wireless, pops up. There isn't a password, but they have to click on a box to agree to our policy. The software counts that so we know how many sessions happen. A session can last up to 3 hours, then they will have to log back in again. We use "untangle" software. Ann Eau Claire District Library Your tech can't just pluck these out of the air (and be believed); we have an appliance that does this and we keep the reports for a couple years as proof. Attached is an example. Here is a good presentation given in SE Michigan a couple years ago; and not by me. http://tln.lib.mi.us/dept/technology-services/wifi/files/techcomm/Best_Practices_for_Wireless_Statistics.pdf Best Practices for Wireless Statistics - The Library Network tln.lib.mi.us TLN Wireless Committee; 10/2013 Best Practices for Wireless Statistics The purpose of these guidelines is to suggest a generalized standard for wireless usage statistics that are uniform wishing you goodness, Mary Carleton; Farmington Community Library (Mary.Carleton at farmlib.org) I read my lists from old school account. Hi Susan, The Leelanau Township Library purchased a router and a contract with Sputnik (now part of a compnay called Lokket) to track wireless logins, connectivity. I didn't set up the contract (the former director did) but it works just fine and I'm happy with the service. http://sputnik.com Nellie Hi Sue, We use a company called Sputnik (sputnik.com) that supplies us with the routers (we use two so we can cover the library and meeting room). It counts Wi-Fi users and also provides a "splash page" where users have to agree to our wireless use policy before they get onto the internet. Since we do not use internet filters and keep the Wi-Fi on 24/7 which can be accessed outside the building this splash page helps give us some legal protection from improper use of the internet. Sputnik costs us about $200.00 per year and it hasn't given us any trouble. Mark Morton Director Leland Township Public Library 203 E Cedar St Leland, MI 49654 231-256-9152 We count the unique MAC addresses that our DHCP server hands out in a day. It sounds like your budget is limited. Do you have a firewall? So the low-tech/annoying solution is to have your firewall or (most) router make a splash page to use the wi-fi. Set a guest password, and change it once a week or such. Then people will have to come get a slip to login, and you can physically count the users. Christian Dunham | Director Bullard Sanford Memorial Library 989-823-2171 | vassarlibrary.org | facebook.com/vassarlibrary Our Cisco Meraki wireless access point (MR 16?) has a dashboard of statistics that we can log into, info supplied includes number of unique users, devices accessing, operating systems, applications accessed - loads if detail! I used to have to leave that part of State Aid report blank. We're a class 4. It does count sessions - not just number of unique users. --- jude halloran, Highland Library, 248-887-2218 ext. 110 www.highlandlibrary.info Hello Susan, Have you looked into any software solutions to help you count this? You might want to check out a service like Who's On My WiFi or reconfigure your router for the WiFi connection counts and use something like Google Analytics to count your web traffic. I think you would probably be surprised how many external WiFi uses you get. Thank you, Joseph Hamlin Library Data Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo St. P.O.

President?s Program focuses on 'The Silences of (Big) Data Join LITA President Andromeda Yelton and welcome Kendra Albert, a technology lawyer and an affiliate research associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, during the 2018 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. As data becomes the substrate for human and algorithmic decision-making and funding, it speaks louder and louder. But what can we infer when there is no or limited data, that is, when the data is effectively silent? Like all records, the data that libraries collect about their patrons and services contain presence and absence, resistance and compliance, exclusion and overrepresentation. In this provocative talk, lawyer and critical legal scholar Kendra Albert will reflect upon how the rise of data collection in libraries can be informed by the silences of data. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/05/lita-ala-annual-2018-president-s-program Learn to conquer the digital world at PR Forum 2018 In today?s world, it?s not a matter of whether or not you engage in social media and digital marketing but how well you do it.

Do you want to learn even more? Check out this free InfoPeople webinar, Demonstrating Library Impact with Data! Are you a library leader who wants to demonstrate the impact that your library programs and services have in your community? Would you like to collect and use data to support your stories? In this hour-long webinar, you'll learn how to develop and implement an outcomes-based evaluation framework that is easy to manage and makes sense for your library. You'll get the tools to design a logic model that will guide your data collection and set targets to show your success and inform learning. After attending this webinar, you'll feel confident that you can use evaluation to improve your programs and services and report on impact in your community. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will be able to: * Describe why evaluation is important and be familiar with the different components of an evaluation framework. * Build a logic model for evaluating a program or service. * Use evaluation data to communicate impact. * Use evaluation data to make changes to programs/services. This webinar is part of the Data Informed Public Libraries (DIPL) initiative that is being sponsored by the California State Library and implemented by Infopeople.

Message-ID: Please excuse any cross-posting. Subject: [alsc-l] Questionnaire: Does your public library offer creative writing programs? Hello, I'm a youth services librarian mentoring a library student studying children's services, and we both have an interest in learning more about what kinds of creative writing programs are offered at libraries. If your library provides any creative writing programs for any age group, we would love to hear from you! Please fill out the brief questionnaire at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2mJgeEp2c18eL3-PYMIP4sRzTMGbR-LpRSII2VhhPWcpQAw/viewform. There are ten very short questions which we anticipate should take no longer than 5-10 minutes. We will collect questionnaires until June 9 and then compile and share the results. The results will help us to complete one of our goals for the ALSC (Association for Library Services to Children) Mentoring program, which is to write a blog post about a topic relevant to youth librarianship. We appreciate your assistance with this!

Check out new content and upcoming webinars for WebJunction. WebJunction is brought to you, in part, by the Library of Michigan and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Highlighted Content on WebJunction * How Maryland Libraries Are Using Virtual and Augmented Reality (and How Your Library Can Too): Libraries in Maryland are exploring how virtual and augmented reality can serve their patrons. They were among the early adopters of this technology in libraries, and paved their own paths when it came to setting best practices, developing public programming, and even learning how to use the headsets. This article explores their programming and includes tips for bringing virtual and augmented reality to your library. * Grant Opportunities for Reading Programs: For many public libraries in cities and towns across the country, literacy programs are a key part of their public programming. These often go beyond involvement in summer reading activities, and could include year round efforts that support readers of all ages. If your library needs financial assistance with offering a program or getting access to books, check out these grant opportunities. It's also worth checking with local foundations, either in your city, town or region, that could support your initiatives. Funders are often looking for quality programs to support and libraries are always a strong choice! Free WebJunction Webinars for You These upcoming webinars are open for registration. If you can?t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog. Making Space for Active Learning in Your Library Tuesday, June 12, 2018 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/making-space-for-active-learning.html Transformation happens when a library reimagines and reconfigures its physical space so that community engagement shifts from passive to active. The fifteen libraries that participated in the Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces project are dynamic proof of that. They learned and applied principles of active learning, placemaking and design thinking to create ?smart spaces? where the community learns and creates together and strengthens social bonds. In this webinar, we?ll describe an innovative process that any size of library can follow to uncover community needs and translate those needs into flexible lively learning space. Hear about the real experiences of two project participants who transformed drab, underused spaces into hubs of activity and energy. It can happen at your library.
