URL: From bjohnston at lincolnlib.org Mon Oct 1 15:43:24 2018 From: bjohnston at lincolnlib.org (Brian Johnston) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 19:43:24 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Book Recommendations from MLA Reader's Advisory Group Message-ID: Hello Everyone, Here are some books for adults, recommended by the MLA Adult Reader's Advisory Group. Adult Fiction: Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay This is an amazing story of the round up of the Jews in Paris 1942 who are then sent to Auschwitz. The story is told through two voices: Sarah, who as she is leaving the house locks her brother in a closet and promises to be back soon, and Julia, a present day American journalist living in Paris, who is asked to write about the event on it's 60th anniversary. The author does a wonderful job of describing both characters and their lives in such vibrant detail! The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan McClanahan has been a small press, indie fav for a number of years, but The Sarah Book is his breakout novel. The Sarah Book contains many of the tropes of what one may call the "New/Contemporary Southern Gothic," poverty, violence, drugs, alcohol, WalMart, but it's written with a luscious, poetic voice. The central focus of the novel is the divorce of the narrator Scott, an alcoholic, community college writing instructor, and his wife, the titular Sarah. The book is often profane and unsettling, but the reader can't help but be mesmerized by McClanahan's writing. Animals Eat Each Other by Elle Nash Animals Eat Each Other is the debut novel by Elle Nash, who has been published widely online and in print literary journals. This short novel (121 pages) is about a young woman, who the reader comes to know as Lilith, who enters into a polyamorous relationship with Matt, a Satanist tattoo artist, and his wife, a new mom named Frances. As the relationship between these three progresses, Lilith becomes more drawn to Matt, until she recognizes the darkness and tension that's bubbling beneath the surface of their fraught affair. This is a short, quick, fearless book (starred review in Publisher's Weekly), but I wouldn't call it an easy read. However, the right audience will devour it. There There by Tommy Orange There There is Tommy Orange's highly-anticipated debut novel. Early reviews compare it to Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine, due to it also being a novel written in multiple Native American points of view, by a Native American author, but this is a book set in contemporary Oakland, California, in the days leading up to the "Big Oakland Pow Wow," and a moment of devastating violence. This novel is equal parts fierce and violent, as well as gorgeous and poetic. It feels essential. Potential trigger warning (and spoiler): the novel involves a mass shooting, and it does not shy away from the terror of this. The Washington Decree by Jussi Adler-Olson A political thriller, begins 16 years in the past where a US Senator leads a delegation to China, where members of their party are assassinated including the senator's wife. The surviving members stay in touch. To present day, on the night the same senator is elected President of the US, his 2nd wife and their unborn child are killed. What follows is an administration gone mad, where guns are allowed but ammunition is outlawed, where anyone who questions the administration either ends of missing or dead. An amazing story with terrifying correlations to our current times. Adult Nonfiction: Playing Hurt by John Saunders This is a memoir by the late ESPN reporter who battled depression throughout his life. Poisoned City by Anna Clark Poisoned City offers a thorough and comprehensive look at the Flint water crisis. Anna Clark offers a great deal of insight into the question of how there could be such a monumental failure to protect the public's health and safety. Well researched and highly readable. Educated by Tara Westover Tara Westover?s story of growing up with in a religious, survivalist family is both amazing and awful. Tara?s father is a religious zealot who is extreme in his belief in self-reliance. The government is not to be trusted, nor are medical doctors, educational institutions, or really anyone not part of the family. In the world of the Westover family, birth certificates and driver?s licenses are not necessary; neither are seatbelts or schooling. Tara?s upbringing (and that of her 6 siblings) is so foreign to most of us living in the United States that at times it almost reads like fiction. Tara manages to get accepted to college at age 17 despite her lack of schooling, but struggles with formalized education along with relating to the other students. Her account of how she eventually completes college and even goes on to get a PhD is remarkable, though at times very hard to read. Secret Empires by Peter Schweizer A must read expose of the way our country's politicians and leaders have exploited our democracy. Chilling! Grown-up Anger by Daniel Wolff >From the flap (I can't say it any better!): "In this tour-de-force of storytelling, Daniel Wolff braids together three disparate strands - Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and a labor strike in Southern Michigan - to create a devastating revisionist history of twentieth-century America." Room to Dream by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna Room to Dream is the exhaustive new biography of filmmaker and artist David Lynch. The book covers the entirety of Lynch's life and work, up until and through the recent Return to Twin Peaks, and if you're a fan of Lynch, this is a must read. The concept of the book is that each chapter was researched and written by McKenna, focusing on a specific time of Lynch's life, or a specific film or project, and then each chapter is followed by a section of reflection penned by Lynch. The real meat of the book covers the span of his career from Eraserhead through Inland Empire, but there are no shortage of entertaining insights from his early life and more recent works. I felt the book slogged a little in the final chapters, and if you haven't watched Return to Twin Peaks, there are some spoilers within, but the majority of the book is fantastic. Thanks, Brian R.

Are you responsible for coordinating technology related programs and services at your library? Do you help patrons in your library's makerspace, technology lab, or media lab? If you regularly help patrons to use technology, this course can help increase your skills as a trainer and improve your library's services through better planning. Library services are undeniably intertwined with technology. From helping patrons search the library catalog to providing maker equipment such as 3D printers, library staff regularly help patrons use technology. Each individual interaction is an opportunity to teach, and formal programs provide a special opportunity to provide focused instruction. There are many models for teaching library patrons to use a wide range of technologies that go beyond basic digital literacy instruction. In this course, participants will: * Explore ways that libraries can provide technology instruction for patrons of all ages using both traditional and non-traditional models in one-on-one, group, and online environments. * Learn planning, promotional, and evaluation processes to improve existing services and programs and better meet patron needs. * Look at ways to support staff learning to increase technology skills and training techniques to increase the quality of patron instruction across all programs and services. * After completion of this course, participants will have a better understanding of how the library can support patrons in learning new technologies. They will be able to apply new skills in program planning and technology training. Course Description: This four-week course will provide weekly readings, practical assignments, and supplementary resources. The instructor will share best practices, examples, and useful tips and techniques that can be applied immediately in your own library and community. During the course, you will participate in discussion forums and an online meeting where you can share your ideas and experiences and learn from other course participants. This course is open to library staff from all types of libraries (public, academic, school, and special). This course is targeted towards library staff who are responsible for planning, coordinating, and evaluating patron technology instructional services, but it may also be of interest to staff who provide instructional services directly to patrons.

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

Message-ID: <1947541761.76832693.1538669728788.JavaMail.zimbra@salinelibrary.org> Good afternoon, I wanted to reach out and let you know about a program we are holding on Saturday, October 13 at 2 pm at Liberty School at 7265 N Ann Arbor Street in Saline MI. The program is FrankenSlam, a hybrid lecture and slam poetry performance exploring the continued influence of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The classic novel is celebrating its 200th birthday this year, and this program is serving as a tribute to the novel, to Shelley, and the power of poetry. Feel free to share with your patrons, neighboring schools, book groups, and drama groups. Come join us! In 1816 poet Lord Byron challenged his friends to craft a ghost story, setting the stage for teenage Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein , a tale about a scientist consumed with reanimating the dead. Byron?s challenge is reminiscent of poetry slams today , and to honor the bicentennial anniversary of Frankenstein poet Adam Henze has created ?FrankenSlam: Where the Poetry is Alive! It?s Alive.? This poetic celebration begins with a hybrid lecture and performance exploring Shelley?s influence on artists ranging from bards to hip hop. After the performance participants are invited to create their own ?horrorcore poem? in an interactive writing workshop. Echoing Byron?s ghost story challenge, the session concludes with a FrankenSlam, where all are invited to share their poetic creations at the mic. This will be held at Liberty School auditorium, located at 7265 N. Ann Arbor St. Saline MI.

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, [cid:image002.png at 01D45BE8.898397F0]The new MeL has launched! If you haven't checked it out yet, please come on over to https://mel.org. This October saw changes across the board at MeL: a new look (even an updated look for MeLCat Classic!), the addition of many new databases, and a new focus. Our tagline - Supporting Michigan Libraries - means just that. We're here for you. We want to help you use the MeL resources to assist your patrons locally, rather than being their one-stop shop. If you've never embedded the links to the individual MeL eResources onto your own library websites, we encourage you to do so. You can find instructions on how to do that here. If you're having any difficulties with that process, that's something you want to talk to the good people staffing the MeL Databases Help Desk at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services about. They can be reached at: meldatabaseshelp at mcls.org and they'll work with you individually to resolve those issues. There are several things to know about the new site: Some of the redirects from the old site did not carry over due to factors beyond our control. Below are the three primary URLs to update or remove from your own site. * Mel.org/databases is not active. Please use https://mel.org/az.php instead. * Kids.mel.org is no longer in use. Please use https://mel.org/kids instead. * Teens.mel.org and mel.org/teens are no longer in use; we no longer have a Teens portal. Please check any other redirects you are using. Have you noticed the new sections of MeL devoted to Library Staff and Educators? We have schedules of upcoming vendor webinars, recordings of past webinars, short videos, referrals to PDFs and websites, MeLCat help, and much more to assist you in making the most out of the new suite of eResources. We also have several versions of the new logo for use on your own site. Will you be at the Michigan Library Association annual conference in Novi later this month? Stop by the Library of Michigan booth! We'll be conducting lightning rounds of usability testing on the new site on Wednesday the 17th from 11:30-1:00 as well as during the evening reception and Thursday the 18th from 1:30-2:30 . You'll be asked a (very) short series of questions and we'll use your feedback to continue to refine the site. We'll never be finished making MeL better. Do you have comments or questions about the new MeL? We welcome them! You can reach the MeL team at this online form. If you receive feedback from patrons about the changes, we encourage you to direct them to this form and we'll be happy to reply to their input, positive or negative. Brought to you by Sonya Schryer Norris of the MeL Team. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. MeL eResources are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library or school access only. #IMLSGrant Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.

"We need input from parents, providers, and partners to make this a successful grant application," said Interim State Superintendent Sheila Alles. "This application includes updating a strategic plan, based on a needs assessment that identifies strategies to improve collaboration, coordination, and the overall quality of programs and services, and we're seeking public input for that." MDE has designed a brief online survey to engage stakeholders for their input. Parent, providers and stakeholders are encouraged to provide their input through the survey by October 12, 2018 at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QGQZ8MZ Those taking the survey will be asked to share: what information you would like Michigan to collect during the needs assessment; how Michigan can better support parental choice during their child's early years; and how to increase collaboration and improve transitions from early childhood care and education programs to elementary school. The PDG B-5 Grant Opportunity is a competitive grant program designed to support states in coordinating and aligning early childhood care and education programs, resources, and services that already exist, improving program quality; facilitating better partnerships between programs and improving the transition from early childhood programs into elementary school; increasing program operating and cost efficiencies; expanding parental choices and involvement; and ensuring families are linked to the full range of services they need. The grant will focus on the existing resources in the state and supporting families to engage in their children's education across the age span. The grant will not fund additional preschool "slots" for children. Michigan's application will particularly focus on supports for children ages 0-3 years, which supports Michigan's Top 10 in 10 Goals 1 and 5 to provide every child access to an aligned, high-quality P-20 system from early childhood to post-secondary attainment and ensuring that parents are engaged and supported partners in their child's education. Below are links to the full grant application and documents from a technical assistance webinar held on September 18. https://ami.grantsolutions.gov/index.cfm?switch=foa&fon=HHS-2018-ACF-OCC-TP-1379 https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/occ/pdg_b_5_applicant_training_09_18_2018.pdf In addition, a dedicated email address will collect questions and thoughts through October 11.

The Dothan Houston County (AL) Library System Board of Trustees seeks its next successful Library Director-someone to lead the System in achieving its vision of connecting people to the transformational power of knowledge and discovery. Located in Dothan, Alabama, the DHCLS serves Houston County's 105,000 residents with facilities including: the Main Library in Dothan, the Westgate Branch (both new in 2014), a recently refreshed library in Ashford, and active bookmobile, outreach and virtual programs. Focusing on literacy and lifelong learning, access to technology, and community engagement, staff have significantly increased traffic with approximately 300,000 visits per year. Extensive programming at the library for all ages provides patrons with a comfortable, safe and welcoming place to visit, enjoy and connect. The Library System, a 501(c)(3), has an annual operating budget of $1.3 million funded by the cities of Dothan, Ashford, and Houston County and supplemental revenue from private contributions and grants, and state and federal sources. The strength of DHCLS is built on the staff and their commitment to providing the best materials, technology and service to all residents. A key area of focus for the new Director going forward will be fundraising and development. Dothan, Alabama (Houston County) is situated in the Southeastern corner of Alabama 90 miles north of Panama City, FL beaches and 18 miles west of the Georgia state line. Houston County is home to a diverse population of more than 105,000 residents. Primary area employment opportunities include: medical and health sciences, transportation, agriculture, Fort Rucker (Army), and manufacturing, retail and educational facilities. With one fourth of the US peanut crop grown in the region, Dothan is billed as the "Peanut Capital of the World." Known as the Hub of the Wiregrass, residents enjoy a low cost of living and a high quality of life enriched by community activities, sporting events, social clubs, cultural organizations and a broad range of religious institutions. With a renewed focus on education, the city and county public schools have been re-energized for all students, and multiple private school options also exist. Higher education institutions include Wallace Community College, Troy University and the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine. For more information on the Library and the area, see DHCLS Links.

Three teachers from Michigan, Ashley Stack of Galesburg, Marci Wiesemes of St. Joseph, and Traci Welch of Houghton, were selected by NHD to participate in the program. The Michigan educators and other professionals around the world will receive access to webinars and discussions about World War I. The goal of Legacies of World War I is to ensure that the details of the Great War are remembered and to provide educators with information that can be implemented in the classroom. Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling It's officially the season for pumpkin pie! Try this recipe from the 1887 edition of The Original White House Cook Book for homemade pumpkin pie filling: "For three pies: One quart of milk, three cupfuls of boiled and strained pumpkin, one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of molasses, the yolks and whites of four eggs beaten separately, a little salt, one tablespoonful each of ginger and cinnamon. Beat all together and bake with an under crust. Boston marrow or Hubbard squash may be substituted for pumpkin, and are much preferred by many, as possessing a less strong flavor."

It is an ALOS Z43 that includes 3 extra tubes of toner. It works, but is in need of a service call because the print quality is a bit light right now. Every time this has happened in the past, the service call resulted in clear, crisp copies. We have used Graphic Sciences for repair service in the past. We're also willing to give it to a genealogy society or family history center if you know of one in need. If interested, let me know when you'd like to come get it.

If your institution resides in the state of Michigan and is self-classified as a library, archive, museum, gallery, historical society, research center, or other similar organization, we would like your help. The survey is designed to gather information about the status of your digital preservation program and to determine readiness and interest for engaging broader collaborations across the state and within the surrounding region to further your institution's digital preservation efforts. This is exploratory work. You may not directly benefit from this research; however, we hope that your participation in the study will improve our state's capacity to respond to the preservation needs for ensuring ongoing access to our shared digital heritage. GVSU Libraries will make a report on the survey findings publicly available in early 2019, and with the help of our coordinating partners, use the findings to guide further exploratory work at the state level. You will be asked to read completely and agree to our consent form before beginning the survey. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. The survey can be filled out by multiple people at your institution, but it is strongly encouraged that staff with the most knowledge of the institution's digital programs take the lead with completing the survey whenever possible. The survey does not need to be completed all at once. The link to the survey is here https://gvsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b87Hxg5Sq10vyMB. The survey will be open until October 1st, 2018. If you have questions about the survey you can contact Matt Schultz (Digital Curation Librarian, GVSU Libraries) at schultzm at gvsu.edu. If you have any questions concerning your rights as a research subject, you may contact the Grand Valley State University Office of Research Compliance & Integrity at (616)331-3197 (rci at gvsu.edu). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Kalamazoo Public Library is pleased to announce the Reading Together title for 2019: *The Hate U Give *by *New York Times* bestselling author Angie Thomas. Join us at Chenery Auditorium on Wednesday, April 17, 2019, 7 pm to hear Thomas trace the development of her book?and in so doing, speak to the heart of race, activism and social change in America today. Admission is free and open to the public. The presentation will be followed by a book signing. Bookbug/this is a bookstore will sell copies of *The Hate U Give* at the event. Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter navigates between the poverty-stricken neighborhood where she lives and the upper-crust suburban prep school she attends. Her life is up-ended when she is the sole witness to the shooting of her childhood best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. As Starr finds herself even more torn between the two vastly different worlds she inhabits, she also has to contend with speaking her truth and, in the process, trying to stay alive herself. *The Hate U Give*?widely known as the first Black Lives Matter-inspired YA novel?has been a #1 *New York Times* bestseller for 70 weeks. Described as ?the best?and most important?book of the year,? by *Entertainment Weekly*, it has already been adapted into a major feature film (Oct. 19), and Thomas? hotly anticipated follow-up *On the Come Up (*Feb. 5) is generating buzz. Thomas? keynotes resonate with the same authenticity, insight, and hope that make her book so powerful, and give context and background to the culture, politics, and movement that inspired it. Copies of *The Hate U Give* are now available at all five KPL locations . *?Angie Thomas has written a stunning, brilliant, gut-wrenching novel that will be remembered as a classic of our time.?** ? John Green, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of The Fault of our Stars.* *About the Author* Angie Thomas is the inaugural winner of the Walter Dean Myers Grant 2015, awarded by We Need Diverse Books. Born, raised, and still residing in Jackson, Mississippi?and a former teen rapper?she holds a BFA in Creative Writing from Belhaven University and an unofficial degree in hip hop. *About Reading Together* 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. By experiencing the same book, hearing the author of that work speak right here in Kalamazoo, and examining the book?s themes through a local lens, we are able to embrace our similarities and differences from a common point of reference. Very simply, when we read together, we grow together. Learn more at www.kpl.gov/reading-together. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This happened to Southfield Mayor and historian Ken Siver and he turned it into his latest book An Uncommon Criminal. His great grandfather was an international con artist during his 70 year crime spree. He pretended to be a doctor, war hero and more. He'll talk about his great grandfather and how he and his family uncovered the true story of Edwin Turner Osbaldeston in an engaging talk and presentation complete with lots of pictures from an era when photography was not the norm. Contact Ken to set up a program at kensonsilver at aol.com or 248-569-4286. I've got a chance to see his presentation twice and found it very engaging and thought provoking.

Is your library using Project Outcome? If so, check out the free webinar: Benchmarking and Longitudinal Studies: How to Measure Outcome Data Over Time. Wednesday, October 17, 2018 | 2:00 PM Outcome measurement is a way for libraries to assess their impact on the people they serve and helps libraries answer the question, "What good did we do?" In some instances, libraries may need to measure outcomes over a longer period of time to demonstrate their impact. This type of measurement could take a variety of forms, but this webinar will be focused on using benchmarking and longitudinal studies to measure outcomes over time. This webinar will also walk through a basic logic model process to determine short, intermediate and long-term outcomes. As a webinar registrant, you will receive follow-up correspondence from PLA specifically related to this webinar (including, but not limited to, instructions for accessing both the live webinar and its archived recording) as well as information about other PLA programs and resources. You may also receive relevant messages from our webinar partner or sponsor (if any). PLA will not sell this webinar's registration list to any other outside parties.

Not only do I support their work in literacy, those ex libris books are often most easily found there. As a result I went to their website to see what they're saying officially. After that I have some additional suggestions. This is BWB's list of limitations: Thank you for following our Material Guidelines. By following these guidelines, you help us reduce our carbon footprint while minimizing transportation, warehousing, and processing costs. As a result, we are committed to making the process as simple as possible while striving to offer our free service to as many libraries as possible. Here are our guidelines for what to ship versus recycle locally: Send to Better World Books: Books and Monographs Rare Books (See Antiquarian & Rare) Children's Books College Textbooks (published within 10 years) Foreign Language Books Fiction and Nonfiction (hardcover and paperback) DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs Audiobooks on CD Video Games Playaways Note: Media must be unlocked and include original case and artwork. Do Not Send to Better World Books: Any books/items which do not meet the Condition Requirements below. Children's Activity Books and Workbooks Annuals and Yearbooks Audio Cassettes, VHS Tapes, LP Records, & Computer Software Books Published by Magazines (ex: Reader's Digest Condensed and Time-Life Books) Britannica and World Books Encyclopedia Case Law and Procedural Books Custom Course Packets Dated Reference Material (published within 10 years) Directories and Telephone Books Duplicate Copies (in excess of 20 copies per title) Free Copies, Examination Copies or Advanced Reading Copies Journals and Periodicals (ex: Literary Criticisms) Microfilm and Microfiche Newspapers and Magazines (ex: National Geographic) Non-Western Script Books Tax and Government Documents or Forms Condition Requirements Books must be free of mildew, mold/mould, excessive dust and dirt. In addition, books cannot have water damage, nor should they exhibit excessive spine damage,have missing pages or missing covers. Please leave any library treatments intact. No part of the book's pages should be removed with scissors or razor blades. For media, sets must be complete and cannot be missing the original case art. **** My personal suggestion for books that don't meet their guidelines will take a bit of work recycling, but possibly your Friends, Scouts, or another group will be willing to help. The Abitibi paper recycling bins are now owned by Rumpke Recycling. https://www.rumpke.com/recycling Removing the covers may be sufficient, but if not running them through a saw will reduce the pages to just paper without the glued spine.

ACCESS TO MeL There are three ways to access MeL eResources. 1. Visit MeL.org. The links in use at MeL.org are geoIP links. These links make it possible for anyone, anywhere in Michigan to access these resources. If a Michigan resident is accessing these links from outside Michigan, they will be prompted to authenticate by using their MI Driver's License/State ID or their MeLCat library barcode. NOTE: There are times when users in Michigan will get an authentication page because they may be coming from an IP address that is seen as coming from outside Michigan. This is due to different ISP configurations and will often happen when someone is using their cell phone without being connected to Wi-Fi. 1. Use the geoIP links on your organization's website. You can find these URLs by going to the eResources section of MeL (mel.org/eresources). GeoIP links allow anyone, anywhere in Michigan access to MeL eResources. 1. Use the Direct links on your organization's website. You can find these URLs by going to the Library Staff section of MeL. Look in the menu on the left side of the page, under Operations. Direct links will not allow immediate access to users outside of your library. To use Direct links, it is important to have an updated IP address. Visit mcls.org/upupdates for details. Visit this link to access instructions that include screenshots. For additional information about MeL, please visit the FAQ located in the Library Staff section of MeL.org. UPDATING LINKS Some of the eResources that have been renewed also have new URLs so it is important to update your links. Renewed resources with updated URLs: * ALL Britannica eResources * Gale's Opposing Viewpoints in Context * Gale's DemographicsNow * Previous EBSCO links for eBooks, eBooks K-8, NoveList K-8 Plus, and LearningExpress Library * MSU Turfgrass IP ADDRESSES If your IP address has changed, or you need to add or delete an IP, please visit MCLS' site and fill out the IP Reporting Form. Questions about these aspects of the MeL eResources should be directed to MCLS via meldatabaseshelp at mcls.org. Brought to you by the MeL Teams at the Library of Michigan and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library or school access only. #IMLSGrant Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.

Message-ID: I have a really great young man who is working on a semester long project of writing a choose your own adventure type book. He's in 10th grade. He has never seen an in-person author presentation. Part of his project is going to listen to a current fiction author (teen or adult). He totally missed out last night when Supriya Kelkar was at Bloomfield Township PL (because he didn't read my email). Is there any library who has an author scheduled in October or November and is within 30ish minutes of Rochester Hills? I would really appreciate the information. Thanks!

The annual program recognizes the very best in editorial and design and is the most comprehensive of its kind in the industry. In August 2018, the January/February 2018 issue of Michigan History was named one of three finalists for a "Full Issue" Eddie Award in the category of "City & Regional-Midwest." On October 9, Executive Director and CEO Larry J. Wagenaar attended the awards gala in New York City to accept the recognition on behalf of HSM. UPCOMING OFF-SITE WORKSHOP: Taming the Chaos & Clutter: Collections Management for Small Museums "What numbering system should we use? Where do you write the numbers? How do you apply the numbers, and with what? Is it OK to write on a photograph? What's that thing called Chenhall's Nomenclature?" If these questions sound familiar, this is the workshop for you. On Wednesday, October 24, from 1 to 4 p.m., an experienced registrar will demystify museum registration methods and help you catalog collections the right way. Please Note: This workshop will take place at the Luce County Historical Museum, at the Newberry American Legion, 7964 State Highway M123, Newberry, MI 49868. Remote access will NOT be available. Jeep Goes to War In 1940, Karl Probst of Detroit designed a new army scouting car in only two days. The Willys-Overland Company built jeeps, but the army needed so many that Ford Motor Company began to build them, too, and ended up producing 640,000 wartime Jeeps. No one knows how the World War II "Jeep" got its name, but it might be named for the Popeye comic strip character "Eugene the Jeep" or from the Army initials "GP," which stands for "General Purpose."

Lots of great advice, ranging from donating, to tech take aparts, to recycling. Thanks! Not sure what I'll do yet, but it's good to know I have so many options! Don, Those that we had that were still in decent shape were sold on govdeals.com. We made some money back and they found a good home. Hello Don, Have you considered selling them as part of a book sale event? When I was with the Genesee District Library they would occasionally sell off the older computers at the HQ summer book sale and they usually sold very quickly. It was a good deal for the public and for the library. We actually have someone here from Electro-Cycle right now picking up a lot of electronics for recycling. We had an drop off event on Saturday for 3 hours where we had 120 cars drop off personal items. It is no charge to the public or to us. [ http://electro-cycle.com/ | http://electro-cycle.com ] We try to sell these through the used book sale (wiped and system reloaded.) We also offer them to staff for cheap purchase. I have given a few to the Senior Center. You might also try charter or underfunded schools. We have to pay to recycle (due to the heavy metals) so I have justified that giving them away saves us money and keeps us from running afoul of giving away public assets that still have value. Hope this helps! Hi Don, We just had a take-apart this past weekend with ages 9 and up. The kids took the computers apart together in a step-by-step fashion and a computer science student volunteered to lead it and explain what all the components inside were. The kids LOVED it. I think it was a very educational and fun thing to do with these machines. Hi Don, I highly recommend the Advance Computer Recycling-Resources. They pick up your items at no cost and schedule a pickup.

We have done take apart events which the kids love but just make sure you have safety glasses for them (they tend to pry and bend things to get them apart). Hi Don, Not sure about donating them as-is to an organization for use (personally I'd wipe them, overwrite them, and then do a clean install of the OS before donating them for security reasons), but there isn't any reason to pay for disposal of them (I wipe them and overwrite them for recycle too, but no need to do a clean install). Our local recycle center would pay us (as long as hard drive and the other metal components are intact) and Staples has a free recycling program ( [ https://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/sustainability-center/recycling-services/electronics/ | https://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/sustainability-center/recycling-services/electronics/ ] ). Nice shirt, in your library profile picture. (Thanks!) If the computers shipped with a license for either Windows 7 or Windows 10, wiping them up for a reload and reuse is easy enough to do. Your local public schools might be open to forwarding them to students from free lunch/breakfast families that still don?t have a computer. IF Comcast is still participating in your area, families qualify for $10/month basic access. My local elementary used to, but they had a single teacher who administered the program. When he retired, so did the program as district techs wouldn?t accept responsibility for distributing them. Another option is a Senior Center, where they teach computer classes. [ https://www.techsoup.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMInbKGwvOI3gIVi43ICh15KgIKEAAYASAAEgIO6PD_BwE | https://www.techsoup.org/ ] might be able to put you in touch with a local charity, school, or other library, that could benefit. If someone will do the paper work, you can get free/cheap Microsoft Office for the donated machines. If I?m repeating things you already know, please forgive my ignorance. Windows 10 will run on a computer with two gig or more of RAM. Drive size needs to be 100 gig or larger for the OS and future patches from Microsoft. On board video is fine. I use DBAN [ https://dban.org/ | https://dban.org/ ] to wipe spinning hard drives and a program named Parted Magic [ https://partedmagic.com/secure-erase/ | https://partedmagic.com/secure-erase/ ] to safely reset SSDrives. Windows 10 installs from an 8 gig USB drive using Microsoft?s Media Creation tool [ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 | https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 ] . There is little interaction required for the install. If, like many Dell computers, the Windows license is coded into the BIOS, you won?t even be asked to type that in to activate the OS. I?m happy to offer free advice. Often that advice is well worth the cost. Occasionally not. We had a public tech recycling drop off this weekend with Electro-Cycle coming today to haul away the items. We threw in our own old computers and telephones as well. There is no charge for pickup. http:/electro-cycle.com When we have older computers- we have our tech guy wipe them clean and we offer them for sale to our staff and then public. Last time we had a big turnover, we sold the old computers for $20 each (towers only, no screens) and they flew out the door! We held a garage sale for used equipment and earned about $2,000. Our IT staff wiped them clean and insured that everything was operable. I recommend a tech take apart program, especially if you have someone on hand who can discuss the interior of a computer and what the parts do. Great information! It's vital to have hand and eye protection and a variety of screwdrivers. Best of luck! Hello, A few years ago TADL had a public sale of used desktop, laptop and miscellaneous tech equipment. I don't recall prices but they were stripped of operating software, they all worked. Leftovers were recycled I think. The laptop and desktop I bought are still going strong. Happy Monday afternoon, I know Best Buy will take and recycle old electronics. I believe they have a limit of how many they will receive a day from individuals, but if nothing else that is a possible option. Another option, I have seen other libraries do is they sell them for a decent price to their staff members. Here is an option. [ https://www.cristina.org/ | https://www.cristina.org/ ] Like most things, I find if you set them out for free they go within the hour. Hi, Don. Check with your local school(s) to see if they're interested in any of them for "take apart" in classrooms. We only replace about 5-10 each year and phase down the ones still in good condition into our catalog computers and our learning center, where the demand on them isn't so intense. The ones that aren't useful to us, we wipe of info and sell for $25 each, which may or may not include a monitor and peripherals. You might consider donating them to a local non-profit - children's center, senior center, MichiganWorks! (?), and/or community center/outreach center. Check with your local funders, too, like United Way and/or a community foundation. They may take them or be able to point you in the direction of someone that could use them. There's always churches and other faith institutions that would love a newer computer, too. We see a lot still running XP or Vista. This would also be a great opportunity to partner with them, if you can and aren't already, for tech programs, like computer and resume skills, setting up emails, safety online, keeping your computer healthy, talking about the databases, etc. Good luck! I'm looking forward to hearing what responses you get. Last time we had working machines we donated them to our cooperative and they passed them on to other libraries in need. Also, I believe Staples recycles electronics for free. You'll want to contact your local store, but here is the webpage regarding recycling.

Kalamazoo Public Library will celebrate the 41st Annual Mary Calletto Rife Youth Literature Seminar by welcoming New York Times bestselling authors Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm at the annual Meet the Author event on Thursday, November 1, 6:30 - 8 pm at Central Library. Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm Jennifer and her brother Matt are the creators of two graphic novel series for children, Babymouse and Squish, which have garnered much critical-attention and favorable reviews. Jenni?s books have appeared on The New York Times bestseller list, been the recipients of numerous awards and starred reviews, and have sold a combined total of over 1.9 million copies in print, digital, and audio formats. The Holms have also collaborated on the My First Comics board books for beginning readers and the New York Times bestseller Sunny Side Up. Matthew recently released his first middle-grade novel, Marvin and the Moths, co-written with Jonathan Follett.

The 41st Annual Mary Calletto Rife Youth Literature Seminar will be held on Friday, November 2, 9 am - 3:30 pm at the Fetzer Center. Registration is required. According to a recent study conducted by Scholastic, children across all age groups overwhelmingly agree that their favorite books?and the ones they are most likely to finish?are the ones they pick out themselves. Providing access to diverse reading materials is important, but allowing children to choose what books are right for them is equally important. Like adults, children have their own unique interests and, like adults, they should be allowed the freedom to explore those interests in the books they choose to read. This year?s Mary Calletto Rife Youth Literature Seminar is all about choice. If we allow children open access to all reading materials, they will Choose to Read! KPL is honored to welcome guest speakers Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm, the best-selling authors of the acclaimed Babymouse and Squish series. Jennifer and Matthew will speak about the importance of choice for youth and how they consider choice a priority in their writing. Other featured speakers include author and educator Dr. Ernest Morrell, and teacher, author and creator Colby Sharp. New this year! Kalamazoo Public Library will provide a curated book list chosen by KPL Youth Staff and the partners of the Youth Literature Seminar committee will share their favorite books of 2018. There will also be giveaways, including an opportunity for teachers to win free books for their classroom. Educators can earn SCECH (State Continuing Education Clock Hours) for attending. Books will be for sale by Bookbug|this is a bookstore.

Vacation time: Salaried and full-time employees shall earn vacation days (1 day = 8 hours on a monthly, prorated basis in accordance, beginning after the first anniversary of employment, with the following schedule: One (1) year through four (4) years full time of service 10 days Five (5) years or more of full time of service 15 days Part-time employees shall earn vacation days (1 day = 8 hours) on an accrual basis of one vacation day per 208 hours worked beginning after the first anniversary of employment. Employees are expected to use their earned vacation days. Employees will not be allowed to "carry over" vacation days to the next year. Holidays are not counted against vacation leave, and additional time will be available without pay at the discretion of the Library Director if requested by Staff. If the Library Director requests additional vacation time, it is the responsibility of the Library Board of Trustees to approve the request. All employees must submit for approval in writing to the Library Director (in the case of the Director to the Library Board) requests for vacation time. Employees shall be entitled to take their vacation leave when they request except in the case of conflict which would create a staffing problem at the Library. In the event of a conflict, approval of requests will be based on Staff seniority and past patterns of vacation leave time. Upon termination of employment, regardless of reason, there will be NO payment to the employee for unused paid vacation days. Contract employees are except from this policy. Full time employees having served 10 years or more of service at the time of the adoption of the latest policy amendment will retain 20 days vacation annually as previously allowed. Personal days: All full time and salaried personnel may take up to six (6) paid personal days per each employee's anniversary date, unless otherwise stipulated in a signed contract agreement. These days are for the purposes of personal illness, family illness, doctor and dentist appointments, and/or funeral attendance. These are to be used as needed and will not be carried over to another year. If an employee exceeds the six (6) personal days, that employee will need to use vacation time or accept a reduction in pay. Lunch breaks: 1. The lunch breaks will be scheduled so that they will coordinate with their fellow workers. Both salaried and full-time employees are entitled to a one-hour, unpaid break for lunch. 2. All employees will receive two 15-minute paid breaks throughout the day. An employee working a four (4) hour scheduled day will receive a 15-minute break. These breaks are not cumulative and should be taken when time allows so that it does not affect the service provided to the public. Any exceptions are up to the discretion of the administrative staff. 3. It is the responsibility of the employee to coordinate breaks with their fellow workers. 4. Breaks not used on the day they are earned are forfeited. 5. Meals must be consumed out of public view. Holiday pay: 1. Salaried and full-time hourly employees, beginning with date of hire, are eligible for holiday pay. Part-time employees are not eligible for holiday pay. However; hourly employees may make up lost time due to holiday closings or unscheduled emergency closings. These hours are to be made up in the same pay period in which the holiday or emergency closing falls. As the employee will most likely be the third or additional person working that shift, it is expected that they will have duties as assigned by administrative staff, where applicable. 2. Eligible employees shall be granted holiday pay for those holidays established by Library Hours and Special Closings (Policy No. 407). 3. Holidays occurring during an employee's vacation or sick leave shall not be charged against such vacation or sick leave time. 4. Holiday pay shall not be in excess of a normally scheduled forty (40) hour week or result in excess of a forty (40) hour work week. Library Hours and Special Closings [Policy No. 407, referenced above]: 1. It is the Library's Board of Trustees and the Director's/Librarian's responsibility to provide quality service on as many days as possible within budgetary limits. 2. Library hours will be set in accordance with Library of Michigan standards as will best serve the community and as funds are available. 3. Library hours will be posted in a manner visible to the public during open and closed times. 4. The Library (including Frederic) will close on the following holidays each year: -New Year's Day January 1st -President's Day Third Monday in February -Good Friday Friday before Easter; close at 4 pm -Memorial Day Last Monday in May -Independence Day July 4th -Au Sable Canoe Race Last Saturday in July -Labor Day First Monday in September -Thanksgiving Day Fourth Thursday in November -Day after Thanksgiving Day Friday after 4th Thursday in November -Christmas Eve Day December 24th -Christmas Day December 25th -New Year's Eve Day December 31st; close 4 pm 5. Should a holiday fall on Sunday, then Monday or the first day of the work week shall be celebrated in lieu of such a holiday. 6. Additional closing days throughout the year may take place at the request of the Director and with the approval of the Library Board. 7. in the event of an emergency situation wherein no employee is available to work and no substitute is available, or in case of inclement weather, or a facility emergency, the Library may be closed by action of the Director. In the absence of a Director, the following, in order named) shall be able to authorize library closings; Interim Library Director, Administrative Assistant, Library Board President, Library Board Vice President, Library Board Secretary, Library Board Financial Officer, or Library Board Trustee. https://www.ioscoarenaclibrary.org/index_htm_files/Personnel%20Policy%20Manual%202017.pdf Other policies I referenced: Thomas Township Library For a professional librarian: 96 hours after 1 year, 126 (I believe) after 2 years Full time staff receive 36 hours of PTO after 6 months Millington Arbela District Library 80 hours after 1 year 1 sick day per month for full time, part time earn 4 hours per month Bullard Sanford Memorial Library 120 hours after 1 year I hope this helps you!

I'd like make and model, need to know cost of software/computer language, and if a dedicated computer is required. Are there any issues with Apple and Windows based devices wirelessly printing? We are upgrading from an old, and dead, black and white coin operated copier patrons use independently, and a black and white networked printer that patrons pay for and pick up prints at the circulation desk. My vision is to provide our patrons with a printer/copier they can operate independently of staff. Yes, utopia. Our library cards do not have the capability to act as prepaid cards, hence the need for coin op.

This well-loved resource is available on the eResources page under Popular eResources as well as in the alphabetical listing. You can also reach it by going into MasterFILE. Our subscription is the complete version of the magazine, includes the annual buying guide, and is not embargoed. The experience available via MeL.org is NOT the subscription interface known as ConsumerReports.org that many Michigan libraries pay for, and are accustomed to. Our interface offers a basic, browse-only environment with a link to a searchable version of the complete magazine. We do have plans to develop a more visual interface, with a built-in search feature, to improve the delivery of the Consumer Reports magazine content. Look for it in upcoming months. For those who may not be familiar, the ConsumerReports.org subscription provides richer information, and searching functionality apart from the magazine (although the magazine information is included). It includes deeper information and research data on consumer products not found in the publication, instant access to the exclusive Cars Best Deals Plus data for car buying and repair, the TV Screen Optimizer that shows the best screens for your type of viewing, the credit card comparison tool, and some video content. We've fielded several questions from folks about Consumer Reports and our goal with this MeL Minute is twofold: 1.) to inform you of some of the differences between these eResources and 2.) to clarify what MeL.org has purchased for statewide access. We hope you're enjoying the new MeL! If you have questions or feedback you would like to share, please don't hesitate to drop us a line by using the form at mel.org/contact. Brought to you by the MeL Team. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library or school access only. #IMLSGrant Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: The Library of Michigan has launched its collection of circulating law titles. From constitutional law, civil rights, and court procedures to how to handle a divorce, estate plan, or landlord-tenant matter, from new self-help titles with a Michigan focus to legal classics, we're ready to move the books off the shelves and out around the state. Browse and borrow items directly from the stacks of the State Law Library or check them out at your local public library through MeLCat. Here's just a sample: [cid:image003.jpg at 01D46D3F.6E0ED4E0] Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide: This straightforward guide will help landlords understand their potential tax deductions in a format that is easy to follow. Michigan Building Code, 2015: Michigan's current code includes information about building permits, regulations for building systems, and other provisions for building professionals to reference. Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and the Law in a Nutshell: As an overview of state and federal laws about the LGBT community, this guide covers a lot of information in a simple-to-understand format. Some of the topics covered are an overview of historical regulations, laws on parenthood and marriage, and laws on nondiscrimination. Student Loan Law: A good overview of student loans and your options when it comes to repayment and default. The guide mostly covers federal loans, but there is a section on private loans as well.

In a constantly changing landscape, this leader strives to ensure that all Oregonians have the information they need to be engaged citizens and to build strong communities and a prosperous state. This position is high profile-working with Oregon constituents to provide support and assistance to local libraries and consortia and to expand programs to improve outcomes for children, families, and communities. As the Agency Director and Chief Administrative Officer, the successful candidate will also focus on developing a broad, inclusive vision to ensure effective and efficient information management services that are responsive to the needs of each state agency. Appointed by the Governor, the State Librarian represents the Agency in its work with the Governor's Office; Legislature; and local, state, and national agencies and organizations. The State Librarian supervises the Library's four divisions: Government Information and Research Services, Library Support and Development Services, Operations, and the Talking Book and Braille Library. Working with a staff (40FTE) and an annual $14.7 million budget, the State Librarian meets the agency's mission as determined in the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and the State Library Board's goals. The State Library of Oregon is an independent state agency with a nine-member State Library Board appointed by the Governor. Located in Salem, the capital and second-largest Oregon city, the Library plays a vital role in state government-providing leadership and resources for vibrant library services to all Oregonians and the Legislature and State Government. The Library's four divisions provide quality information services to state employees and state government; leadership, grants, and other assistance to improve library service for all Oregonians; administrative management functions including board support, financial management, facilities management, information technology management, and communications; and offers a free library for any Oregonian with visual, physical, or reading impairment. Please visit the State Library of Oregon for additional information. Responsibilities. The State Librarian acts as the appointing authority to direct all activities of the State Library by setting, evaluating and administering policy, program priorities, and the use of resources as determined by the State Library Board. The State Librarian provides vision and support to the approximately 1,650 public, school, community college, university, special, and tribal libraries in Oregon and to the State Library staff. The position plays a major role in several regional and national organizations including those involved in legislation, funding, policymaking, and library standards. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications are a Master's degree in Library or Information Science from an ALA-accredited program or the equivalent in training and experience as required by ORS 357 and six years of library management experience, including rule and policy development, strategic planning, budgeting, and program evaluation. The successful candidate will lead and inspire a committed team, promoting excellence in service and demonstrating experience in working with elected and appointed officials; possessing knowledge of library trends, issues, and best practices; managing multiple funding streams, and managing personnel. Key traits include strong collaboration skills, proven advocacy skills, and the ability to communicate eloquently the purpose, goals, outcomes, and benefits served and provided by libraries to diverse communities, stakeholder groups, and key policymakers. Compensation. The salary range is $94,980 - $139,884 (with placement negotiable, dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package.

Note that the form for public libraries DOES require a signature by a licensed physician or nurse-practitioner. This is because Emergent's program must comply with the NARCAN laws of 50 states. Although Michigan does not currently require a prescription, (here, NARCAN can only be obtained in Michigan at authorized pharmacies), other states have differing rules. Therefore, since NARCAN is a prescription medication, to receive the free NARCAN, Michigan libraries must obtain the signature from a licensed Physician or nurse practitioner. I called the company, and according to their customer service personnel, that Physician or nurse practitioner needs only to sign (ie "prescribe) the NARCAN via the form at the link I sent. Despite the wording of the form, there are no other responsibilities that medical professional has In regard to this program. Libraries may want to seek the assistance of their local community health/public health offices, or, contact the community outreach department of your local hospital. If your library already has a relationship with a nurse practitioner or doctor, then you can consult them too. If anyone has a hard time locating a medical professional to assist in this program, let me know and I will see what I can do to help. Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

The implementation of policies and procedures involving NARCAN and other Opiate inhibitor substances is growing among Michigan libraries. Recently, Emergent Biosolutions, the biomedical company that now manufactures Narcan, has instituted a program where the company will provide a case of Narcan free of charge for public libraries. Public libraries interested in participating in this program can obtain additional details here Additional information on this program can be found: Company to Supply Free Narcan to Libraries - Emergent BioSolutions will provide two doses to every public library branch in the US https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/narcan-company-supply-free-narcan-to-libraries/ Every U.S. Public Library and YMCA Will Soon Get Narcan for Free http://time.com/5432950/narcan-libraries-ymca/ The Library of Michigan infosheet on the legal issues surrounding Public Libraries' use of Narcan can be found here.

Printable Tags for Your USB Manual [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/7dc574fe-ffe1-4e4c-a18e-f59528130b33.jpg] Do you struggle to keep track of your USB Manual? Does one of your coworker's desk seem to absorb USBs and other small items? Well, the Printable USB Manual Tag is for you! Simply print the image on both sides of a sheet of card stock, cut, and attach with string. The odds of you keeping track of your USB throughout the summer will greatly increase! Here is the link to the USB tags in PDF format: https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/summer-reading-2019-tags.pdf The Three ?R?s: A Solar System Craft Story by Jan Douglas, Branch Library Assistant, Union Road Branch, Gastonia, NC [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/cc56d1f6-50d1-4fe1-980f-82426cda78b1.jpg]We know the three ?R?s in public education stand for reading, writing, and arithmetic. For public libraries, it might well stand for recycle, reuse, and repurpose. A good example presented itself during the wrap up of our 2018 summer reading program. With music as the theme, we had staff and patrons generously donate LP?s, 45?s, and CD?s for our use. Knowing the theme for our 2019 summer reading program is space, it was not a far stretch to envision these same donations being recycled next year as the solar system. An example of an LP reused for this purpose is shown in the picture above. Please note, it is not made to scale and Pluto is included. Guess aerospace won?t become the library?s fourth ?R?! Did you have a program that brought a little music (or actual rocks) to the world this summer?
