Upcoming Free Webinar on STEM
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

WebJunction is offering a webinar on April 28, 2016 called, "Make, Do, Share: Buiold a STEM Learning Community. A webinar presenting a ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community STEM leaders. Youth in grades K-12 spend an astounding 81% of their time in informal learning environments outside of school. Libraries are a locus of informal learning. As the number of STEM related careers continues to multiply, libraries can play a key role in fostering the interest and excitement for STEM learning that may be missing in schools. Through the generous support of a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Kitsap Regional Library System (KRL) has developed a ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community STEM leaders. If you feel like an "accidental STEM librarian" and are wondering how to get started, staff at this semi-rural library system will share fresh ideas and hands-on, practical advice for planning and implementing impactful programs. Learn how to take the lead with informal learning for youth and families in your community.

help out author Mary Doria Russell - looking for anecdotes, memories about the UP
by Debbi Schaubman 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hello all, The message below is from Mary Doria Russell (author of The Sparrow, Children of God, A Thread of Grace, Dreamers of the Day, Doc and Epitaph). It was posted on her blog, not sent to me directly! "Once again, I’m turning to you for help with the next novel. An Unremembered Life (yes, new working title) is the story of Annie Clements, who was once known around the world as America’s Joan of Arc. This extraordinary 25-year-old woman was a pivotal figure in the labor movement of the Progressive Age. In 1913, she led a strike that shut down 20 copper mines for nearly a year in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Obviously, there are few (if any) people who remember those days directly, but I’m hoping some of you have family memories of strikes that have been passed down. The strikes don’t need to be as early as 1913, nor do they have to be about striking miners. They could also be about storekeepers in towns where a strike is ongoing, for example. Because the novel is about a strike at a copper company where there were only two women employed (as office workers), I’m particularly interested in the experience of the wives and children of strikers because so little has been written about them. How were food and clothing collected and shared? What kind of meals women managed to put on the table, what sort of support they got from other unions, etc. Did the children continue to go to school in company towns? How were they affected? I’m also interested in family anecdotes that demonstrate the strikers’ reaction to prolonged idleness, tension over how long the strike would go on.” Respond directly to her via email (marydoriarussell(a)gmail.com) or comment on her blog post (http://marydoriarussell.net/2016/03/24/writing-what-you-know-4/) Debbi ***************************************************** Debbi Schaubman Manager, Shared Library Systems schaubmand(a)mcls.org<mailto:schaubmd@mcls.org> Midwest Collaborative for Library Services Lansing, MI 48910 Voice: 800-530-9019 x113 Fax: 517-492-3889
