From LancasterC5 at michigan.gov Tue Sep 4 10:04:25 2018 From: LancasterC5 at michigan.gov (Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)) Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2018 14:04:25 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] How'd your summer reading go? Message-ID: Let me know by filling out the survey, no matter your summer reading theme! It gives LM a good look how libraries around the state are doing with summer reading and what they're doing that is successful and what might not be so successful. Answer as best you can with the numbers you have and feel free to share stories. I'm extending the deadline to Friday, September 14th to be eligible for the prize drawing - a signed copy of "How to Code a Sandcastle" by Josh Funk. Details below, including a link to the additional CSLP membership survey on the "value of membership," that might change the direction of summer reading all together...

Be sure to discuss with your co-workers who is completing what section and feel free to forward to other departments (children's/teens/adults) for them to complete their portion. If you're submitting a district-wide report (in lieu of branch-by-branch), please note that in the "Name of branch" box. Please submit your responses by Friday, September 7, 2018, to be eligible for a prize drawing. Additional survey from CSLP (all public libraries in Michigan are members): The audience for this survey is public library staff. This survey is being conducted by the Statistics Committee of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Our goal is to better understand how public library staff use and value CSLP membership and materials. For the purposes of this survey, we use the phrase "summer library program" in equivalence to summer reading program or summer learning program. This survey does not concern materials and promotions provided by CSLP partner organizations, such as Demco/Upstart. The survey is open now through October 31, 2018. All public libraries in Michigan are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, thanks to funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Value of CSLP Membership and Materials survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslp_value This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Community members are invited to a special event at the East Lansing Public Library (ELPL) on Thursday, Sept. 13 featuring Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, author of ?What the Eyes Don?t See,? in conversation with United States Sen. Debbie Stabenow. This free event will take place from 6-8 p.m. and it is open to the public. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is a pediatrician, professor and public health advocate whose research helped expose the Flint Water Crisis to the world. ?What the Eyes Don?t See? is the inspiring true story of how Dr. Hanna-Attisha ? accompanied by an idiosyncratic team of researchers, parents, friends and community leaders ? proved that children in Flint were being exposed to dangerous levels of lead ? a neurotoxin that causes irreversible brain damage. During this special ELPL event, there will be opportunities for community members to ask questions and there will be a book signing at the end. Copies of the book will be for sale at the event, courtesy of Schuler Books & Music. ### _________________________________ East Lansing e-news is just a click away.

We were advised by one lawyer to NOT turn over patron information to police or the prosecutor - even if they are willing to assist. The reasoning was that although libraries make collection agencies an agent of the library to allow them to provide patron information, it could be more delicate under the Michigan Library Privacy Act to make law enforcement an agent of the library. We would not need to provide the titles for the letter - just the patron's name, address and replacement cost of unreturned items. We do not have enough volume to make it cost effective to contract with a collection agency. We took one patron to Small Claims Court to get restitution (through a garnishee order) for unreturned MeLCat items, but it was a lengthy and costly process.

They performed the ?Great American Songbook? ? songs from the 20s and 30s ? and talked about the history of the great ballrooms of Detroit and the famous musicians they attracted. We had 19 in the crowd and they greatly enjoyed the performance, especially the two actual Rosie the Riveters in attendance who said that the music brought back many memories of their youth.

Hoax. Media bias. Misinformation. Media literacy is perhaps more important now than ever. But do you have the resources you need to help students and patrons? The Michigan eLibrary is here to help! Just in time for the new school year, MeL and Gale have compiled the "Fake News Frenzy: A Guide to Resources for Librarians and Teachers." Resources include links to articles, videos, lesson plans, games, websites, and more. There are even recommended books with a link to MeLCat for each! Another great resource for combating fake news here in Michigan is Gale's Opposing Viewpoints in Context (OViC). It is an engaging online experience for those seeking contextual information and opinions on hundreds of today's hottest social issues. This database features continuously updated viewpoints, topic overviews, full-text magazines, academic journals, news articles, primary source documents, statistics, images, videos, audio files and links to vetted websites organized into a user-friendly portal experience. And to help users learn how to navigate Opposing Viewpoints in Context while learning a bit about fake news, we are pleased to share with you "Escaping Fake News: A Virtual Breakout." This experience is based off of traditional escape rooms and classroom breakouts, but is all done virtually! In this particular breakout, participants will help SuperGale and Captain Database escape from Professor Decepto's lab so they can get to class on time. All you need in order to complete the escape is access to OViC and a printed copy of the "Escaping Fake News Clue Answer Sheet." Good luck and have fun! Brought to you by Christine Schneider of the MeL Team. MeL is transforming on October 1! New eResources, a new website, and a new logo will make their debuts. The latest information about eResource changes, including training opportunities, can be found at our Get Ready page. #IMLSGrant Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.

The project's vision urges organizations to become more community involved and stresses the importance of co-creation. The basic idea is that cultural organizations are made up OF individuals who represent their community, have programming or services created BY the community, and do all these things FOR the community.

It is similar to the one found at this link: https://www.kingsley.com/cushiondrop-library-book-media-transport-push-cart I've attached photos, too. Our Library Board would rather we sell it rather than give it away, so we're interested in all reasonable offers. We'll compile all the offers we receive and present them to the Board and then follow up with everyone who was interested once we get our response. Here's the measurements/specs: The total height of the bin and wheels = 39.5 inches high The bin is 26 inches on each side and is square The bin itself minus the wheels is 35 inches high It's got soft batting at the bottom, and a floating floor that moves down as more items are put in it. Works fine, we just have an extra we never use and the space that it's stored in could be used more effectively.

(November 29, 2018) In this Transformative Leaders webinar, learn about an award-winning library's approach to change management, as an organization that not only responds to change, but one that embraces it. Charles Darwin said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." It has never been a better time to be a librarian-especially when we recognize and act on our power to help people in our communities build better lives through learning and literacy. To do that, our identity, our education, our organizations, and our work is changing. Learn how library staff are becoming change agents to help Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, the 2016 Gale/LJ Library of the Year, become an essential asset in its community. This webinar is part of the Transformative Leaders series. Presented by: Gina Millsap, Chief Executive Officer, and Thad Hartman, Chief of Staff, Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library (KS) WebJunction is brought to Michigan libraries free of charge, in part by the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

Roosevelt on Trial Did you know that former President Theodore Roosevelt sued the editor of Ishpeming's newspaper, The Iron Ore, for libel? In 1913, George Newlett, publisher of The Iron Ore, printed an article stating that Roosevelt "gets drunk.and not that infrequently." In a week-long trial in the Marquette County Courthouse, Roosevelt denied the accusations and Newlett dramatically announced that he had been mistaken. Roosevelt asked the court for only minor damages, so the jury awarded him six cents.

After serving four years in the U.S. Navy and while enjoying a career as a firefighter for the city of Royal Oak, Bozich established a fledgling nonprofit museum to showcase his collection of military artifacts donated to him by Michigan veterans and their families. He has traveled all over Michigan and throughout the United States to acquire more stories and collect memorabilia. Today, the museum houses the stories and collections of nearly 800 individuals. This year's State History Award for Distinguished Volunteer Service will go to Joan Bulley of East China for her years of service to the Algonac-Clay Township Historical Society. Bulley serves as president of the Algonac-Clay Township Historical Society, an all-volunteer organization focusing on local history. She has spearheaded many society projects, including the organization of its artifacts into reference notebooks and the acquisition of the area's old Fifth-Third Bank building to become the society's Maritime Museum. Through her decades of volunteering, strong leadership and willingness to mentor others, she has helped the Algonac-Clay Township Historical Society grow and better display its local history. The Historical Society of Michigan will present a State History Award in the category of Distinguished Professional Service to Karl Crawford of Petoskey. As the superintendent of Petoskey's Greenwood Cemetery, Crawford created a series of highly successful history tours that feature costumed actors standing at gravesites and speaking about the people who were buried there. To accompany the tours, Crawford wrote a series of booklets entitled "Petoskey Stones Speak." He also initiated a project to digitally scan newspaper obituaries and place them on the cemetery's new website as a research source. A State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press will be presented to Michael Hodges for "Building the Modern World: Albert Kahn in Detroit," published by Wayne State University Press. Author Michael Hodges details the remarkable story of one of America's greatest architects. Albert Kahn was a German-Jewish immigrant whose family came to the United States in 1881. Kahn rose from humble beginnings to create buildings that defined downtown Detroit, including the General Motors Building, the Fisher Building and the Detroit Athletic Club. His automobile factories for Packard and Ford revolutionized both industry and architecture. At his death in December 1942, Kahn was deeply involved in creating the industrial works that would turn the United States into the Arsenal of Democracy. A State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press will be presented to Barbara J. Barton for "Manoomin: The Story of Wild Rice in Michigan," published by Michigan State University Press. In "Manoomin: The Story of Wild Rice in Michigan," author Barbara J. Barton introduces readers to the history, culture, biology, economics and spirituality surrounding this sacred plant. She begins her story in the days before European colonization and travels in time through the logging and industrialization eras. Barton explores the worlds of the Anishinaabek and the colonizers as she contrasts their different perspectives and relationships with Manoomin. Readers will learn the full story of one of Michigan's iconic natural resources, including the destruction of most of the state's rice beds and the hope for its recovery. A State History Award in the category of Books: University & Commercial Press will go to Anna Clark for "The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy," published by Metropolitan Books. During the last four years, Flint has gained national notoriety for the Flint Water Crisis. The disaster is the subject of "The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy," a new book by investigative journalist Anna Clark. In the book, the author describes how Flint residents held protests and public meetings, collected water samples, created social media pages to share information, and gained access to public documents. The overwhelming evidence of contaminated water that they presented led the city to switch back to its former water source in the fall of 2015. By then, however, the city had been exposed to toxic water for 18 months. A State History Award in the category of Books: Private Printing will be presented to Muriel Zandstra for the self-published book "Armand Merizon: His Life and Art 1920-2010." Michigan artist Armand Merizon was born in Kalamazoo in 1920 and, at the age of three, moved with his family to Grand Rapids. There, he spent the rest of his life in a conservative Dutch community where his drive to create art prevailed despite discouragement from his family, church and community. His astounding body of work ranged from realism to abstraction to impressionism. This book showcases some of Merizon's best paintings, but this is not simply a coffee-table art book. The author also provides readers with an overview of the artist's life and work, including his struggle with macular degeneration and arthritis. A State History Award in the category of Books: Private Printing will go to Glenn O'Kray for "Before Fair Lane: Historic Homes from Henry Ford's Hometown-Dearborn, Michigan (1832-1916)," published by The Museum Guild of Dearborn. Editor Glenn O'Kray and photographer Bruce Harkness set out to document the domestic architectural history of Dearborn in the years prior to the construction of Henry Ford's landmark home, Fair Lane, in 1916. This book showcases both existing homes and, through archival photographs, houses that have been demolished over the years. "Before Fair Lane" creates awareness of the importance of the built environment in preserving the sense of community in Dearborn and the need to maintain these fine old homes. "To the Copper Country: Mihaela's Journey" by Barbara Carney-Coston, published by Wayne State University Press, will receive a State History Award in the category of Books: Children & Youth. History sometimes comes alive through works of historical fiction. This book captivates young readers with the story of an 11-year-old Croatian girl's journey to Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The year is 1886, and Mihaela, her mother, and two younger brothers have immigrated to the Copper Country to join Mihaela's father, who has found work in the mines. Youthful readers will learn about U.P. history, along with recipes for Croatian food and Cornish pasties and a pronunciation guideline for Croatian words. A State History Award in the category of Businesses will be presented to Detroit History Tours of Highland Park. Since its founding in 2015, Detroit History Tours has hosted more than 1,200 tours and taken 41,000 people around the city by bus, boat and foot. The company offers tours that cover more than 20 different topic areas, including a "Wild Women of Detroit Tour," a tour of "Secret Detroit: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure," a Detroit architecture tour, and the "Felonies and Misdemeanors: The Detroit Cops and Mobsters Tour." The company is committed to quality history education, to the preservation of Michigan and Detroit stories, and to a unique approach of making history fun. The Historical Society of Michigan will present a State History Award in the category of Communications: Websites to Lin Starr Pollard of Dowagiac for the creation of a website for the Underground Railroad Society of Cass County. When the society discovered the importance of its online presence, it quickly began ventures into the digital sector with a website centered on the history of the Underground Railroad in Cass County, as well as an update on the society's activities and restoration processes in the area. The society's website is an excellent example of the power of technology to deliver relevant history. A State History Award in the category of Education: Educational Programs will go to Diana Agy of the Jackson College Heritage Center in Jackson for the documentary "Answering the Call." This past year, the center created a documentary film and two genealogical quilts recognizing the life's work of William Maher and his quest to keep the memory of his friends' service alive for future generations. "Answering the Call" is a multimedia project focused on the history of Zenneth Pond, one of Maher's friends who lost his life during a military flight mission. Students organized the documentary and worked with the Jackson Michigan Recruiting Center's active military to provide a tribute to the fallen soldier during the program's presentation. The Historical Society of Michigan will present a State History Award in the category of Education: Educator to Murphy Darden of Kalamazoo in recognition of his outstanding work in African-American history education. Darden has devoted the last 20 years to the preservation and interpretation of African-American history. His grasp of the importance of history and material culture has led him to acquire a priceless collection of artifacts pertaining to African-American history in Kalamazoo; his home state of Mississippi; African-American cowboys; and other artifacts that relate to the Jim Crow Era, agriculture, and the military. The State History Award for Institutions will go to the Flint Public Library. Through a 60-year partnership with the Flint Genealogical Society, the library has helped cultivate a strong and thriving interest in genealogy by offering an irreplaceable collection, relevant knowledge and a committed staff. Researchers from all over Michigan and beyond are drawn to the library's vast collection. Several other unique items in the collection include the Genesee County Biography File, the Flint City Directory and a more recent curated collection of articles and resources on the Flint water crisis that has potential value to future researchers. The State History Award in the category of Media will go to "Wilderness to World Class" by the Holland Film Group. In this feature-length documentary, the story of Holland, Michigan, comes to life through interviews, local footage and historical artifacts in a compelling documentary designed to keep Holland's past within easy reach for the community's educational purposes. The Holland Film Group began in 2016 with local historians, advocates, teachers and technicians who were dedicated to the idea of sharing Holland's history in the digital age. "Wilderness to World Class" focuses on Holland's "Midwestern" experience, in addition to the area's natural resources, agrarian roots, industrial developments, faith and philanthropy, and placement along an inland waterway. A State History Award in the category of Restoration/Preservation will be presented to the Historic Ottawa Beach Society, which worked in collaboration with the Ottawa County Parks and Recreation in Holland. The brick building in Ottawa Beach known as the Pump House originated in 1901 as an electric generating plant. In 1987, local residents formed the Ottawa Beach Historic Committee to preserve and restore the building and to collect and interpret the area history in a museum. The Historic Ottawa Beach Society incorporated in 2010 to raise money for a restoration and renovation of the Pump House to its condition in 1924. The Pump House Museum and Learning Center opened in 2018 with three permanent exhibits and a temporary exhibit about Holland's iconic lighthouse. More than 600 people toured the museum in its first month of operation. The Historical Society will present a State History Award in the category of Special Programs/Events to the Barnes-Hecker Mine Remembrance Committee in Negaunee. A November 3, 1926, cave-in at the Barnes-Hecker Mine, located west of Ishpeming in Marquette County, claimed the lives of 51 men and became the third-worst underground mine disaster in the history of the United States. The Remembrance, which took place in October and November 2016, educated the general public about the historical tragedy. An impressive outpouring of local support helped aid the Remembrance and has led to the donation of photos and documents about the tragedy to museum collections. The 2018 State History Award for the Best Article in Michigan History magazine will be presented to Roger Gilles of Grand Rapids for his article entitled "Pedaling Beyond the Petticoats: Women Cyclists in the Gilded Age." The article appeared in Michigan History's March/April 2018 issue and explored how the widespread popularity of bicycles in the 1890s spurred women to compete in athletic competitions otherwise reserved solely for men and "emancipated" them from binding gender norms of the era. By participating in dangerous, high-speed races that resulted in impressive victories, both on and off the track, women cyclists defied Victorian norms of female frailty and proved they were every bit as good as male athletes. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

ALA News for September 11, 2018 NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION American Library Association to explore Chicago commercial real estate market The American Library Association (ALA) announced its plan to explore Chicago?s commercial real estate market with the listing of its headquarter buildings at 40 and 50 East Huron. Efforts to examine the value of its headquarters are fueled by its goals to enhance operational excellence; grow membership; and acquire a workplace environment that supports the development of innovative programs and services for its members. ?The ALA Executive Board and staff are committed to the mission of ALA and its long-term ability to support its members as they serve their libraries and communities,? said ALA President Loida Garcia Febo. ?ALA headquarters are an important part of our history and have served members and staff well. But, just as our communities, our libraries, our work lives have changed, so have the needs of the Association?including those of our workplace.? For more than a year ALA?s Executive Board and ALA Management have engaged in a review of how to strategically utilize ALA headquarters real estate and recently began to work with real estate expert Cushman & Wakefield (C&W). http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/09/american-library-association-explore-chicago-commercial-real-estate-market Libraries invited to join Dear Banned Author letter-writing campaign this Banned Books Week Speaking out for banned and challenged books is vital in the fight against censorship. This Banned Books Week (Sept. 23-29), the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) is hosting a letter-writing campaign that celebrates stories that have made an impact. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/09/libraries-invited-join-dear-banned-author-letter-writing-campaign-banned-books Philanthropist and author Melinda Gates will open the 2019 ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits in Seattle Co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest private foundation in the world, Melinda Gates has dedicated her life to achieving transformational improvements in the health and prosperity of families, communities, and societies. Core to her work is empowering women and girls to help them realize their full potential. She has said, ?if you invest in a girl or a woman, you?re investing in everyone else.? The session will take place from 4-5:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25, 2019, at the 2019 ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits in Seattle. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/09/philanthropist-and-author-melinda-gates-will-open-2019-ala-midwinter-meeting National writing contest seeks short stories on courage, launches Sept. 25 Up to $1,000 and the opportunity to be published in Short Story Dispensers nationwide will be at stake for writers of all levels, through a new writing contest launching Sept. 25. The contest seeks to engage residents with reading and writing literature and generate new interest in public libraries. The Public Library Association (PLA), John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Short ?dition are teaming up for the first time to encourage writers of all ages and backgrounds to submit an entry. The submission deadline is Oct. 30. The theme of this year?s contest is courage, a universal topic and an attribute essential for the act of writing itself. Courage enables characters to confront their fears; persist; and overcome obstacles, both literal and abstract. Some acts of courage can be grand-scale and heroic, others quietly inspirational. No matter how noticeable, acts of courage defy expectations and show we can do things we never imagined ourselves capable of before. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/09/national-writing-contest-seeks-short-stories-courage-launches-september-25 ALA announces slate of Council candidates The American Library Association (ALA) has announced the candidates for positions on the ALA Council.

He is also the author of the scathing 2013 best-selling Washington expose ?This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral ? Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking! ? in America?s Gilded Capital.?

She has written several books on the subject, including her latest, ?The Stigmatized Child: Helping Parents Overcome the Stigma Attached to Learning Disabilities, ADHD and Lack of Social Skills.? Ford served as Chairman of the Board of the National Center for Learning? Disabilities from 1989 to 2001 and has received many honors for her work and has lectured widely on LD and ADHD issues. Dr. Rana Awdish Dr. Rana Awdish was a young critical care physician near the end of her medical training at Wayne State University in Detroit when she suddenly became a patient fighting for her own life. In her critically acclaimed best-selling book, ?In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope,? she reveals how her troubling experiences exposed her to flaws in today?s care standards and how to better embrace the emotional bond between doctor and patient. Today she serves as Medical Director of Care Experience for the entire Henry Ford Medical Group.

It?s likely that staff or trustees from your library registered for events and cancelled their registration before a deadline so they were owed a refund for the payment. Refunds for workshops and events are issued using the method of payment. The Library of Michigan is an office in the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) so refunds will show the parent agency. If the workshop fee was paid by check a refund check will be issued. If it was paid by credit card it would show as a refund on the credit card statement. State Aid to Public Libraries, LSTA grants and stipends are all paid electronically so there would be no payment by an actual check. If you would like to contact us directly with questions, please don?t hesitate. We can check our system for the details. Shannon Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan 702 W.

Coming up, The MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival will be screened at the Rogers City Theater on Friday, September 28 through Sunday, September 30th starting at 7:30 pm each night. Audience members will be able to cast their vote for Best Picture and Best Actor/Actress. Nine outstanding short films were chosen as finalists. Filmgoers in Rogers City will unite with audiences in over 300 cities spanning six continents to view and judge the work of the next generation of filmmakers from around the world. The nine MANHATTAN SHORT film finalists are from eight countries with films from Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Kosovo, New Zealand, USA and the United Kingdom. All nine films are eligible for an Academy Award nomination, an Oscar-contender. A complete list of screenings can be found at www.pidl.org . The following week, the library hosts the first TEDx PresqueIsleDistrictLIbrary event at the Rogers City Theater on Friday, October 5th at 7:30 pm featuring LIVE speakers, John Dempsey and John O'Shea. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxPresqueIsleDistrictLibrary, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx PresqueIsleDistrictLIbrary event, TED Talk videos and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. John Dempsey, an internationally acclaimed artist who is featured in the Norman Rockwell Museum touring exhibit, "Re-imagining the Four Freedoms" will address the perspective of an "artist communicating the meaning behind his work". John's art work was selected for inclusion in this major traveling exhibition organized by Norman Rockwell Museum. His work, "Sunday Night/Monday Morning" is on a national tour as part of the Enduring Ideals: Rockwell, Roosevelt & the Four Freedoms. John will talk about what the four freedoms mean to him and the meaning behind his work. Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear; as those were President Roosevelt's four freedoms. John is a resident of Presque Isle County and is an acclaimed artist whose work is exhibited throughout the United States and Europe. John O'Shea, Curator of Great Lakes Archaeology at University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology whose focus is on prehistoric cultures and 19th century shipwrecks in the Great Lakes. John will present a new historical perspective of Paleo Indians from 9,900 years ago using new research and technology advancements. John was the key person who upon examining new underwater topographical maps of Lake Huron discovered a continuous underwater ridge stretching 112 miles from northeastern Michigan to southern Ontario known as the Amberley Ridge. He realized that around the last Ice Age, 9,900 years ago it was a land bridge known as the Alpena-Amberley Ridge. He is working with a team using technology upgrades that have yielded Ice Age landscapes of campsites from Paleo Indians, stone circles, remnants of a fire hearth and much more. For over a decade, O'Shea's team discovered archaeological sites intact all through the Amberley Ridge. His three-person submersible was used in summer 2018 to investigate the bottom of a 500 foot deep cliff that has never been explored. This Ice Age landscape once sustained caribou and its hunters for two millennia. It disappeared under the waves of Lake Huron some 8,000 years ago. Then on Saturday, October 6th at 7:30 pm, the talents of the internationally acclaimed musical artist, Sofia Talvik will perform live at the Rogers City Theater. Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy. A veteran performer with 6 full length albums as well as numerous EPs, singles and tours behind her. Complete bios and detailed information about all of the above events can be found on the library's website at www.pidl.org Tickets can be purchased at the Rogers City Theater box office. Doors open at 6:30 pm. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks, Cathy Please take a few minutes to complete the SRP annual survey for the Library of Michigan, no matter your theme or participation in CSLP; it provides us with valuable feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MI18SRP Adult program, Teens & Children's stats are all covered in this 1 survey, but you do not need to complete all 3 age groups, just the one(s) you coordinate. Be sure to discuss with your co-workers who is completing what section and feel free to forward to other departments (children's/teens/adults) for them to complete their portion. If you're submitting a district-wide report (in lieu of branch-by-branch), please note that in the "Name of branch" box.

Additional survey from CSLP (all public libraries in Michigan are members): The audience for this survey is public library staff. This survey is being conducted by the Statistics Committee of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Our goal is to better understand how public library staff use and value CSLP membership and materials. For the purposes of this survey, we use the phrase "summer library program" in equivalence to summer reading program or summer learning program. This survey does not concern materials and promotions provided by CSLP partner organizations, such as Demco/Upstart. The survey is open now through October 31, 2018. All public libraries in Michigan are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, thanks to funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Our new logo will replace the purple and green version we've had for 12 years and you will see this update everywhere that MeL can be found including online, in black and white on MeLCat materials, and on promotional giveaways. The redesign of the MeL logo was an intentional process with 3 goals: * Update to a more contemporary look and feel * Strengthen the visual aspects of the MeL brand * Create logo specifications and usage guidelines to establish consistency MeL's new colors are blue, green, and burgundy and they each represent something different. Blue is the base color of the site and ties into the blue used in the Library of Michigan branding, green represents Library Staff, and burgundy represents Educators. The "e" and the "L" are positioned to form a subtle book. There will be versions of this logo in black and white as well as in singular colors, including green and burgundy for use with our two key audiences. For the entire life of MeL, our emphasis has been to market broadly to the library community and all 9+ million residents in the State of Michigan. While MeL is for use by any Michigan resident, our core purpose is to support Michigan libraries. To that end, we are shifting our focus away from messaging to residents and concentrating on tools, resources, and support specifically for the library and education communities. The changes you see with the MeL logo and website are helping us visually tailor our educational and marketing materials so they are distinct and easy to recognize, while ensuring that everything fits with the larger family of MeL offerings. To help you prep for the upcoming MeL changes, we have uploaded logo files to the Get Ready page at MeL.org. Additional information about MeL eResource changes, including training opportunities, can also be found at our Get Ready page. Brought to you by Liz Breed from the MeL Team. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or for Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery.

Today I received this (my own comments follow), also I put in bold type the part affecting everybody: *This is terrible:* The EU Parliament just caved in to giant corporations and passed a massive overhaul of copyright law that threatens to ruin the Internet as we know it. The Parliament approved the requirements for taxes on hyperlinks and censorship upload filters for any website that publishes content. 1 If these policies become law, websites like Reddit and Wikipedia could be wiped out entirely. And it would pave the way for similar policies here at home. But the good news is that the EU Council gets its say, and we're going to make sure these devastating policies are rejected. OpenMedia is pressuring EU member states to stand up to corporate interests and vote down the Link Tax and Censorship Machines for good. Will you donate to help our efforts? https://act.openmedia.org/stl-vote-sbs?src=162909 ] The Link Tax would affect not just Europe, but the entire Internet ecosystem. Requiring websites to use automated content-filtering technology would cost millions of dollars and thousands of manpower hours, likely decimating small online businesses and startups. 2 This legislation stems from pressure from gigantic publishers who would rather destroy the free and open Internet than admit their business models are obsolete. They want Google and other data aggregators to pay up when they link to original sources-but that means that we'd also have to pay, changing the way we share information with each other. 3 And the legislation also calls for content sites to have YouTube-style upload filters. But most sites don't have the manpower or financial resources of YouTube, which paid tens of millions of dollars to put its filter in place. These Censorship Machine requirements will put smaller sites out of business for good. We've seen the effect that Europe's new privacy requirements have had on websites we use here at home-dozens of new terms of service agreements have come through our email inboxes. That's why it's essential that the entire world become involved in the fight against the EU's new copyright legislation. And as a global organization with campaigners around the world, OpenMedia is uniquely suited to take up the fight. ************************************ When this came up earlier I posted on storytelling sites what I could find about the EU Council. Canadian storyteller who is also a librarian, Elinor Benjamin, added "I managed to harvest all the email addresses from the site so I could send one message to all of them - freely adapted from Lois' point. Here they are if anyone wants to do the same. . . francis.zammitdimech at europarl.europa.eu emil.radev at europarl.europa.eu pavel.svoboda at europarl.europa.eu sylvia-yvonne.kaufmann at europarl.europa.eu enrico.gasbarra at europarl.europa.eu mady.delvaux-stehres at europarl.europa.eu tadeusz.zwiefka at europarl.europa.eu antonio.marinhoepinto at europarl.europa.eu jozsef.szajer at europarl.europa.eu" Please consider how you, too, might respond before the EU Council takes steps affecting all of us whether we have a website or not, since we all use the internet.

Hi Don, We use Square for credit/debit cards. Other than that, we write it down on a paper and total the drawer every night. I would love to know about something that we could use on a computer to keep track of the money we receive. A cash register seemed like overkill for our library as we average less than $10 a day. But if we could keep track on a computer and print a page at the end of the day, it would be great. I hope that you get some great ideas! Hi Don We are woefully behind the times! We use an actual cash register, Sam3s ER-285m. It has 15 departments, so we can easily see how much was collected in fines, copies, faxes, etc. We've had it for over 10 years. We have an actual cash register + a POS for credit card. The POS reports on the credit card, and for the cash register entries I use an Excel file. It?s simple, easy, and will never stop working because of compatibility issues. Guess I'll be getting a cash register! Thanks for the replies!

There is still time to fill out this important survey on digital preservation. Attached also is a PDF of the full survey if it helps to coordinate responses from multiple people in your organization who may be working on your digital preservation efforts. Read on below. Thank you! Grand Valley State University (GVSU) Libraries in coordination with the Library of Michigan, the Michigan Council of Library Directors (COLD), the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS), Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA), archives (Michigan Archival Association), and museums (Michigan Museums Association) is distributing this electronic survey to our statewide cultural heritage institutions. 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). ******************************** Heather M.

Message-ID: Thank you for the great feedback regarding my - to lock or not to lock the DVD cases ? question. The results are in! 23 libraries responded. 8 of them lock their DVD cases. Most responding libraries are using One-Time locking cases. 15 libraries do not have locking DVD cases. Of those 15 libraries, 8 of them store some or all of their collection in a different location to be retrieved upon check out. The biggest factor in deciding to purchase locking cases is the cost. For libraries that only have a few DVDs go missing each year it is not worth the cost to switch the cases. For other libraries it was a good investment to maintain the collection. The most surprising find was that at least five libraries have recently stopped using locking cases and/or put the discs back in their unlocked cases to sit on the shelf. The reasons varied including space issues, locking mechanism issues, and also the time and effort it takes to switch cases and retrieve discs. You?ve given me a lot to think about, thanks again!

Schooners on the Great Lakes Schooners, or ships with fore-and-aft sails on two or more masts, were once the workhorses of the Great Lakes. During the nineteenth century, thousands of schooners sailed the Great Lakes. They carried cargoes of lumber, grain, iron ore, and even Christmas trees. They were cheap to operate and needed only a small crew. The ships vanished from the Great Lakes in the early twentieth century when bigger and faster steamships replaced them.

Thursday, September 20, 2018. Kalamazoo Public Library is honored to welcome The Caldecott Medal winner, author David Small to Kalamazoo on Wednesday, September 26, 7 pm, in the Van Deusen Room at Central Library, 315 South Rose Street. This event is free and open to the public. No ticket or registration is required. A book signing will immediately follow. Michigan News Agency will sell books. David Small's graphic novel follow-up to the award-winning and critically-acclaimed book Stitches, is already being lauded as a masterpiece. Home After Dark: A Novel, is the story of 13-year-old Russell's struggle with not only making new friends, but his own sexuality, after moving to California with his father. The mostly wordless story moves like the best film noir with both small- and large-screen worthy art. Readers will find it difficult not to get swept up in this heartbreaking story of a young, confused boy in the 1950's struggling to survive in a broken home. Join us as we listen to David Small share the story behind this incredible tale. David Small was born and raised in Detroit, MI. He received his MFA at the Yale Graduate School of Art, taught art for many years at the college level, ran a film series, and made satirical sketches for campus newspapers. To date, Small has illustrated more than 40 picture books. Recognition for Small's books include The Caldecott Medal (So You Want to be President?, 2001), The Caldecott Honor (The Gardener, 1998), National Book Award Finalist (Stitches, 2009 and The Underneath, 2008), Christopher Award (That Book woman, 2009 and The Gardener, 1998), ABBY Award Honor Book(The Gardener, 1997 and The Library, 1995), The New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year (The Library, 1995), and a Featured Selection for more than 10 years on Reading Rainbow (Imogene's Antlers, 1985). #### From MembielaC at michigan.gov Fri Sep 21 17:13:58 2018 From: MembielaC at michigan.gov (Membiela, Clare (MDE)) Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 21:13:58 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] September Library Law Spotlight Webinar Message-ID: Curious about Headlee Rollbacks?

This may be a long shot but I'm hoping someone remembers this.? We loaned our copy of the audio cd set "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" by Howard Pyle to a melcat library.? It came back with one cd missing.? We cannot replace the cd and I had removed the label telling me which library had it before I noticed it had a missing cd.? Since I can't go back into melcat because it was checked in to see who had it, I'm hoping some library out there remembers it or has a record of it somewhere.?? Any help is appreciated.?

They look like this: and are either from BesTrade USA CD Library II; Zio Tek; or CAFTEK Digital Disc Organizer. We were able, at that time, to procure about a dozen or so from a library that wasn't using them anymore. We used them all, and are looking for more. I did see one or two on eBay, but we could use more than that, and would pay around $25 each (that's what we paid for the last 'batch'). They hold 150 discs. If anyone has some they would like to sell, please let me know, and we can arrange for purchase/shipping, etc. ?Marian VolekWest Iron District Library116 W.

Jeff started with a two-hour in-library session on taking better smartphone photos, including hidden help built into camera apps, lighting, and editing tools. I'm not exaggerating to say that his tips elicited actual gasps. In the afternoon, he met a group for a photo walk through downtown Beulah. Imagine finding photographic gold in an alleyway, looking down from a hilltip, or by crouching in beachgrass to get the best lake view! Then, he showed how he chooses and edits to bring out the best in the photos. Jeff is a natural teacher of both beginners and experts. He's genuinely interested in others' work, smoothly balances one-on-one advice with large-group guidance, and takes deep pleasure in helping others learn. He also enjoys exploring new communities. Here are some links to help you learn more about his work: Jeff's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmsmith802/ Jeff's website: http://www.jeffreysmithphoto.com/ Write-up about Jeff's workshop: http://imlsmaking.sites.uofmhosting.net/2018/09/pro-photo-day-in-benzonia/ Photos from Jeff's workshop (but not *by* Jeff!): https://www.flickr.com/photos/michiganmakers/albums/72157672892509448 As Amanda noted afterwards, this workshop was a real success in reaching a maker/hands-on/creative audience that includes men, and we're excited about photography as a means to balance gender in programs.

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.

New Ways to Supercharge Your Storytimes Tuesday, October 9, 2018 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/new-ways-supercharge-storytimes.html Whether you are new to storytimes or a seasoned provider, Supercharged Storytimes can deepen and enhance the great work you already do. Based on the powerful VIEWS2 research which confirmed the value of key early literacy strategies used intentionally in storytime, WebJunction translated those findings into practical application. With early literacy instructor Saroj Ghoting and other experts in the field, WebJunction recently updated and expanded the training to fully cover the early literacy components, to consider storytimes through an equity lens, and to strengthen assessment of the impact of library storytimes. Find out why HOW you interact with children and families is as important as what you do or how frequently you do it. This webinar will cover two new ways you can get supercharged and take your storytimes to the next level. The first is an updated, online self-paced course, and the second is an online training for facilitators.

I need to update and add to our collections and with recent requests from parents/children, I need to focus on the 1st-3 grade reading level. I do have books in that interest range but have discovered quite a few tend to be a high 3 or in the 4 for accelerated reading level. I need to focus on more of the 2nd grade level and they have to be chapter books. When you are in a school district where students cannot read a book below their tested reading level (in some cases cannot read above it either) and are required to achieve a certain amount of points each marking period or their grade is lowered, I do at some times have to pay attention to the AR level. I had my first student in yesterday who left upset because a book he really wanted to read does not have an AR test so he said "I can't read it"; I really dislike Accelerated Reading! It's to the point where a book will go untouched if it's not an AR book or at the right reading level; we will hear non-stop until June "I can't read that book" by numerous students. Would you share what new series are popular with your 1st - 3rd graders? I would really like reviews from actual readers before selecting new series to purchase.

It's the Number One Library in the United States in the 2018 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge. This is the second year Scholastic is recognizing the contributions of libraries and community partners along with schools in the challenge. The Pickford Community Library coordinated and administrated the challenge for Pickford Public Schools, area homeschoolers, and participants from other Eastern Upper Peninsula schools. 152 area students read 338,057 minutes from May 7 to September 7. In addition, the local community provided outstanding support for the library's "piggyback rewards program" in which students earned in-house prizes all summer long. The Pickford Community Library will be featured in 2019 Scholastic Book of World Records for this nationwide honor and will receive a commemorative plaque and a celebration kit to recognize student reading achievements. This past summer, 509,867 students from all 50 states, two U.S. territories, and Washington, D.C., read 135,865,170 million minutes in the 2018 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge, a free, online summer reading program which aims to help students return to school reading-ready. It's designed to help kids turn the "summer slide"-the learning loss which can occur over the summer months-into a "summer leap" by discovering the power and joy of reading for fun. The complete list of Top Libraries, Top Community Partners, and "Best in State" schools is available at www.scholastic.com/summer.

Just this month the GLOBE Observer team launched the latest tool within the app called: "Land Cover Adopt a Pixel." This new feature lets you take part in a project to create more detailed satellite-based global maps of land cover by sharing photos of the world around you. Why does NASA need your help in collecting this data with the new GLOBE Observer Land Cover tool? One reason is to fill in details of the landscape that are too small for global land-mapping satellites to see. Land cover is critical to many different processes on Earth and contributes to a community's vulnerability to disasters like fire, floods or landslides. Learn more about how libraries can help at www.starnetlibraries.org/uncategorized/go-land-cover Questions about the project? This Friday, Sept. 28, join the GLOBE Observer Land Cover team for an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, from 12-2 EDT/11-1 CDT/ 10-12 MDT/9-11 PDT at www.reddit.com/u/nasa.

We visited lots of libraries, evaluated surveys, and held listening sessions across the state. Your feedback helped shape the design and architecture of the new MeL.org site as well as determine selections for the new eResources offerings. But more than that, your feedback was the impetus for a shift in our focus. For the entire life of MeL, our emphasis has been to market it broadly to the library community and all 9 million-plus Michigan residents. Starting October 1, we are shifting our focus away from messaging to residents and instead will focus on you - our library and education communities. New eResources On October 1, MeL will expand to over 80 eResources! EBSCO will become our primary vendor and we will continue to offer quality content from Britannica, Gale, and World Book. AtoZDatabases.com will provide a business and job directory as well as a criminal background search. You will find a wealth of resources, including: * MyHeritage (genealogy resource) * Consumer Reports * An upgrade to NoveList that includes K-8 Plus and NoveList Plus (one of the most requested resources) * The full suite of LearningExpress Library resources including a resume builder * A collection of over 200,000 eBooks covering everything from K-8 to Business * A substantial business collection that includes case studies, SWOT analyses, DemographicsNow, and more. * A K-12 collection that includes access to over 25 eResources with leveled readers, magazine and journal articles, subject specific eResources in Biography, History, Literature, Poetry and Science, Opposing Viewpoints in Context, and more. MeL.org Also on October 1, we will launch the new MeL.org site. Among the new features you will find two portals, one for educators and one for library staff. Educators will find training resources to support the integration of MeL content into their classrooms and lesson plans. Library staff will find promotional materials, training tools and tech support. Training tools for both will include short videos, PDFs and links to vendor training portals. In the future, anticipate customized content developed by 2 new MeL Engagement Specialists who will be coming on board later this fall. Get Ready for October 1 Details about MeL's transformation can be found at our Get Ready page. Here you will find: * Initial announcement about the new eResources * Database Crosswalk to show which resources are expiring, continuing and new * New MeL logo files * MeL GeoIP URLs * Recorded webinars for EBSCO eResources * Links to vendor support pages with training videos, documentation, and promotional tools * Direct URLs can be found at MCLS' site. The site that will launch on Monday is over a year in the making - we started last summer with regional listening sessions about eResource content and continued into 2018 with usability testing and information architecture planning with Michigan library staff for the website itself. We have worked hard to be intentional and responsive to your needs. And we're very excited by the results! Thank you for your patronage. Brought to you by Liz Breed of the MeL Team. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library or school access only. MeL is transforming on October 1! New eResources, a new website, and a new logo will make their debuts. The latest information about eResource changes, including training opportunities, can be found at our Get Ready page. #IMLSGrant Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.

We're hoping libraries across Michigan can once again help us remind the public about the upcoming deadline for voter registration (Oct. 9). If possible, please post the attached flyer where the public will see it and include it on your website. In addition, we hope you will consider sharing the following messages in any public communication channels your library provides, including social media and newsletters. I've also attached a simple voter registration icon that can be included.

They also are trusted public spaces for people to connect, receive community information and grow as readers and writers. The Public Library Association (PLA) today announced a new national writing contest that aims to build on the rich legacy of these vital community institutions. The contest invites writers of all backgrounds to submit short stories on the theme of courage.

The contest is hosted in collaboration with Short ?dition, the creator of Short Story Dispensers, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. ?Librarians know that literacy and reading are foundational for full civic participation. This partnership bolsters creative community expression and engagement?inspiring those who write to read more, and those who read to write better,? said PLA President Monique le Conge Ziesenhenne. ?Our hope for this contest is to further connect our communities with literature, local libraries and each other.? http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/09/national-writing-contest-launches-engage-communities-literature Sarah Jessica Parker book club pick is a radiant retelling of Liberia?s early years Honorary Book Club Central Chair Sarah Jessica Parker has selected Way?tu Moore?s "She Would Be King" (Graywolf Press) as her latest pick for the American Library Association?s (ALA) Book Club Central.

The initial feedback from that event seemed positive.? We also used it to bring a remote public lecture from an MSU professor to Alpena.? Zoom is not free for the host, which we purchased because it seems like it solved some issues with allowing traveling library board members to attend meetings.? I think zoom is good for interactive events between a limited number of parties.? For recording and posting programs, we use youtube and a standard digital video camera to put the events online for those who could not attend live.? I should note that many performers/presenters have contract language prohibiting making recordings or broadcasting, in which cases, we always honor.?

Click here to submit your idea today! 2019: A Universe of Stories! October is right around the corner and that means the start of a new CSLP program year. The slogan for 2019 is "A Universe of Stories" and will focus on all things spacey! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/e9602936-afa4-4570-886e-c25a3d344c4c.jpg] Whether it is the beauty of the cosmos, the wonder of exploration, or the scientific marvel of humans in space, A Universe of Stories has something for all your patrons. This year's theme is particularly timely, as 2019 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing. We are working diligently with our partners at STAR Net to develop additional programming opportunities, often with a focus on STEM, to help you wow your community. While programming and theme are important components to any library program, fantastic artwork and graphics also play a vital role. Great artwork adds excitement and visually raises awareness of your library and your programs in your community. CSLP strives to provide you with top tier artwork. We are very pleased to share with you the artists for the 2019 program year! A sneak peek at the posters for 2019!

Looking for a great way to get the Space Party started early? Colorado Library Selected to Host NASA Education Downlink Event! The High Plains Library District, in collaboration with the STAR Library Network (STAR Net), was recently selected by NASA (through an extremely competitive process) to host a live In-flight Education Downlink from the International Space Station on October 18th with NASA astronauts Serena Au??n-Chancellor and Nick Hague*. This 20-minute event (targeting youth in grades 3-6) will take place some time between 10am-12pm MT and will be streamed live nationally. Libraries are welcome to organize their own viewing event. Stay tuned to next week's edition of the STAR Net News for more details on the specifics (location, viewing info, etc.) of the Live Education Downlink Event! * Pending availability The Elizabethtown Library Rocked it this summer! Angela Heroux, Library Director at the Elizabethtown Library, NY, sent in this programming success her library had this summer. Every Thursday between July 12th and August 9th they invited the Elizabethtown-Lewis Youth Commission students (ags 5-12) with teachers and counselors (about 60-70) to come to the library to celebrate their Champlain Region's History. They focused on the Early Settlers and the Native American Tribes who contributed so much to Early American History. They were even generous enough to share their lesson plan: Summer Camp 2018 Lesson Plan [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/069a7649-f689-4586-a0e9-9e9603c99543.jpg] Did you have a program that brought a little music (or actual rocks) to the world this summer? 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/ Steps to create a Space Ship out of a refrigerator box and a dryer box CSLP's own Karen Day created this Space Ship for our booth at this year's ARSL conference. Here are her step by step instructions for you to create you own! 1. First decide if this space ship will be for little people or for all ages so you can determine what size boxes you will need and where you might put your completed space ship. This could be a group or family project. We made our ship for adults at the ARSL conference. 2. Contact your local appliance store and ask them to save you a refrigerator box and possible a dryer/oven/washer box. 3. Our boxes had flat lids and we chose to keep those in tack to give the space ship a little more stability. 4. Make an opening on the backside of the refrigerator box large enough to allow your patrons to go in and out. 5. Make an oval (or two, or three) to allow patrons to put their face in for a photo op or just to see out (and you to see in) 6. Cover your refrigerator box with butcher paper or craft paper, and mold it around your openings. We put duct tape over opens to cover the rough edges and to help hold the paper on. The inside of the box does not need to be covered since that is only for the patron to go in and play or get their picture taken. 7. To make the top of your rocket/space ship, trim the dryer box down to an appropriate size. 8. Beginning at the middle cut each side of the box down to the corner of the lid in to form the four peaks/points of the rocket. 9. Cover or decorate the points any way that you feel will be attractive to your patrons. 10. Connect the four point with duct tape to stabilize the top. 11. Set the completed dryer box on top of the completed refrigerator box. 12. We used stars and colored duct tape and ribbon to cover the areas that were still exposed and to help stabilize the space ship more. 13. Have tons of fun with this project!
