Reminder - Legacy gifts & Estate Planning Wksp - Clarkston Fri, Nov 20th at 1pm
by Julie Meredith 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Just a quick reminder if you've been thinking about attending! Hello Everyone- The incoming president of our library's Friends group is a development director for a non-profit and is encouraging our Friends group, Library Board and Staff to better educate ourselves about fundraising, and especially the possibility of legacy gifts for our library. To that end we are bringing in Bill Winkler, a speaker from the Leave a Legacy Speakers' bureau of the Planned Giving Round Table of Southeast Michigan. This is a professional organization of development directors and estate planning professionals helping to educate their membership and the general public about legacy gifts and estate planning. There are two opportunities for you to attend Bill's presentation. One in Clarkston and one in Novi. This is a free and open event intended for Directors, Trustees, Staff and Friends. See all the details below or attached. Thanks! Julie Julie Meredith Director Clarkston Independence District Library 6495 Clarkston Rd Clarkston, MI 48346 248.625.2212 juliem(a)indelib.org<mailto:juliem@indelib.org> Would you like to provide solicitation-free programs at your library about the benefits of estate planning? Are you curious about how legacy gifts can be left to your library? Leave a Legacy Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan can help The Planned Giving Roundtable (PGRT) is a professional organization of 140 development officers, estate planning attorneys and financial planners. PGRT's purpose is to educate their members and provide the necessary skills to be effective advocates and better fundraisers for the non-profits they represent. PGRT, through its Leave a Legacy Speakers' Bureau, can also help your library. Legacy gifts can be impactful and transformational to organizations that are near and dear to a donor's heart. This program is an effort to educate the broader public on the opportunities. There is absolutely no solicitation of any kind. Educating the public about leaving a legacy is ideal for the library environment, but before you bring a speaker into your library, you should know what they will say. Educate yourself, educate your patrons about legacy gifts and estate planning. Attend a session specifically for Library Directors and Staff Presented by Bill Winkler Friday, November 20th 1-3pm Clarkston Independence District Library Friday, December 11th 10am-noon Novi Public Library Register by contacting: Julie Meredith juliem(a)indelib.org<mailto:Juliem@indelib.org> 248.625.2212 These presentations are about legacy funding for your library and estate planning education, not community foundations.

Summer Reading and Five Domains of Reading
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

With summer behind us and winter coming on, it is hard to think we can be planning for next year's Summer Reading program already. Something to keep in mind with Summer Reading as well as story time and lapsit programs are the Five Domains of Reading from the education community. These are Vocabulary, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency and Comprehension. You can find a variety of materials online on these skills and ways to use them in your programming year round. Reading Rockets, a PBS and Dept. of Education site, has a great Reading 101: The Basics of Teaching Reading page that covers these five domains and more. That is at http://www.readingrockets.org/teaching/reading101. Take a look at these and the rest of the site for some background information on getting the most out of your programming time with children!
