Program recommendation
by Alison Purgiel 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

The Norton Shores Branch of the Muskegon Area District Library had a musical event this past May that was so popular I wanted to send out a recommendation. Plain Jane Glory, a husband & wife duo from Muskegon, MI, simply enchanted our audience with their Neo-Folk/Americana music that was uplifting, heartbreaking, moving and nostalgic! They use a variety of instrumentation including vocal harmonies, violin/fiddle, acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and percussion to create an impressively big sound. Michael Boxer and Laura Crosswait have so much charisma and warmth, and that along with their outstanding musical abilities created a truly a special evening of music at the Library. The program was a combination of traditional and popular Americana and country songs along with the duo's own amazing original music that created a perfect blend. Plain Jane Glory has one CD released and a brand new one dropping this month. Again, the duo hails from Muskegon, MI, and are willing to travel. Their website is available at http://www.plainjaneglory.com/ . The Norton Shores Branch Library will definitely have Plain Jane Glory back again-it was an outstanding concert! Apologies for any duplication of this message. Thanks, Alison Alison D.

Library Farmer's Market Partnerships
by Dillon Geshel 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Hello, Our library is partnering with a local farmer's market that takes place just outside of our building. We've discussed awarding 'Market Bucks' during our summer reading program, which would allow children to receive small stipends for actual produce after they read a certain number of books. I'm looking for any information on similar Market Bucks programs that Michigan libraries may have participated in. Thank you, Dillon -- Dillon Geshel Library Director Portage Lake District Library 58 Huron Street, Houghton MI (906)-482-4570

No one enjoys having to deal with an angry patron, but with proper preparation and skill development, you can minimize conflict, defuse patron anger and identify the underlying issues. This course is designed to help you improve your skills using a two-step method for responding to anger, by first dealing with the patron's feelings, then dealing with their problem. Learn more and enroll in this free course today<http://learn.webjunction.org/course/search.php?search=Dealing+with+Angry+Pa…>! Upcoming Webinars If you can’t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the course catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/>. Above and Beyond: Developing a Culture of Organizational Citizenship Wednesday, June 22, 2016 ♦ 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ♦ 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/developing-a-culture-of-organ… A healthy and effective workplace often stems from strong leadership. For supervisors, it’s important to develop a team of individuals who work well together, do what needs to be done, and help each other succeed. Join us for a dynamic session to learn what it means to develop a healthy organizational culture, with an introduction to the concept of organizational citizenship behavior and its relevance to public libraries. You’ll learn techniques to build and support a team that is willing and able to go above and beyond, and to help your library succeed.

Before Bilingual Storytime: The Outreach Bridge to Engaging Latino and Spanish-speaking Families Thursday, July 7, 2016 ♦ 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ♦ 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.ht… If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language storytime. It’s the “if we build it, they will come” logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn’t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community.
