STEM/STEAM Kits
by Lindsay Fricke 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Good evening - The Novi Public Library recently received a grant and generous donation to create circulating STEM/STEAM kits. Our kits will focus on children in grades K-6th. We would like to know what items other libraries have included in their STEAM kits along with pros or cons for items. We are also interested in hearing about circulation rules (how long is the checkout period, how many kits checked out per card, holds allowed on kits, overdue fines, damaged/missing pieces, etc.). Any information that you can share would be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to respond off-list to Lindsay Fricke at lfricke(a)novilibrary.org<mailto:lfricke@novilibrary.org>.

Program on "Dreams"
by Amy Greschaw 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

During another program, several of the participants mentioned they'd enjoy a program on dream interpretation. Trouble is, I have no idea where to start to set up such a thing! Has anyone ever hosted a workshop on dream interpretation, or something similar? Any leads would be much appreciated!

Engaging Families at Your Library!
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Greetings! The Public Library Association (PLA) is offering a FREE webinar on Family Engagement on December 6th! See below for detail. Tuesday, 12/6/2016 * 1:00 PM-2:00 PM (Eastern) Are you interested in increasing your outreach to families? Are you wondering how you might elevate family voice in the work that you do? Are you thinking about how to develop stronger community partnerships in support of families? If so, then this webinar will benefit you. In their recent report Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement<http://www.hfrp.org/librarycta>, Harvard Family Research Project and the Public Library Association outlined five important processes that build successful family engagement pathways: * Reach out, * Raise up, * Reinforce, * Relate, and * Reimagine. This webinar will explore how these practices are being implemented in early childhood programs and libraries, and offer practical ideas that you can use to build family engagement pathways in the learning setting you work in. For full description and registration information visit the PLA website<http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/pathways> at http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/pathways. Evette M.
