Our third Summer Reading webinar will be next week, Tuesday, February 10th at 2:00 pm. I will be presenting on Online Summer Reading Options: What Services Are Out There and What Can You Do With Them. The presentation description is "There are fee and free online summer reading sites and software out there and there are libraries doing badges, clubs and games. What is out there, where do you find it, and what does it cost? Once you pick something, how do you promote it and what should you look out for? Come talk to us and find out!"

Armenian Books
by Pam McKnight 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

We received a donation recently that has some books on Armenia as well as some which are written in what I assume to be Armenian. Is there a library out there who would/could use these in their collection? I can provide the names of those which are about Armenia. Please let me know if you would like them and I will send them to you via RIDES.

Does anyone know about OCI?
by Ann Greene 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hi:I received a phone call and a follow-up email from a man at OCI. He says that they digitize high school yearbooks for free. Has anyone heard about this project? Have any of you had actual experience with this company? Here are a couple of paragraphs from the email: I am contacting you about a program that we began here in Oklahoma several years ago that has been a huge benefit for libraries and high schools across our state. We are now offering this FREE service to libraries, high schools and historical societies in other states that might want to participate in this program. I am hopeful that we might be of service to your community. We have had good reviews from libraries and schools in your state that have already participated in this program. OCI is a state agency located in Lexington, Oklahoma. Our Records Conversion department has been in operation for over thirty years and consists of three areas; Data Entry, Digital Imaging and Image Review & Verification. We do records conversion for every state agency in Oklahoma. These include; the Department of Education, Department of Human Services, Department of Labor, the Oklahoma Supreme Court, and the Attorney General's Office, just to name a few. OCI is a rehabilitation and jobs training program that is affiliated with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections providing employment opportunities for low-risk offenders in a variety of different job skills in the computer operations field.

Recommendation of "Sherlock Holmes" presenter for programs
by Dominic McLaughlin 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

I just wanted to send out a recommendation for a presenter: Ms. Regina Stinson, founder of the Ribston-Pippins (http://www.ribston-pippins.com) and Sherlock Holmes enthusiast. She does presentations on the history/popularity of Holmes as well as the character's depictions in film (separate presentations), including BBC's noted "Sherlock" and CBS' own "Elementary." I have hosted her for both here at the Romeo District Library and would recommend her for other libraries, as the audiences have given her positive feedback across the board. For more information, she can be contacted by email at Ribpip715(a)aol.com. Please let me know, also, if you have additional questions. Sincerely, Dominic McLaughlin Adult Services Librarian Romeo District Library
