MeL Minute - Infographic Tools
by Borrelli, Eunice (MDE) 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi all, You see them everywhere and may wonder, how was that created? Infographics, word clouds and data tools that convey interesting messages, complex data sets, productivity statistics, compelling stories, and engaging images, all in visual and sometimes interactive formats. Libraries and educational organizations need to "tell your story" and have a 30 second "elevator speech" at the ready, and infographics may just be what lets your message rise above others who compete for the same funding and support. Newly added to the MeL Books & Literacy Gateway<http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=60> under the Libraries & Information Science<http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=62> classification is a group of resources to help with creating visual messages. Infographic & Data Tools<http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=247> currently includes six tools to start with. I see great things in your future - annual reports, summer reading program participation, revenue/expenditure comparison, service area demographics, program promotion - and, Library Snapshot Day postings on social media (#MILibSnap). As Sonya Schryer Norris explained in her May 24, message to this list, plan to participate in this ALA initiative during the week of June 13-17 and show the world what your library does and "...share the impact of your library on your community in eye-catching ways." MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact(a)mel.org<mailto:contact@mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Eunice Eunice C.

We are pleased to announce: *HARTLAND’S CROMAINE LIBRARY ONE OF 77 ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE* *TO RECEIVE AN NEA BIG READ GRANT* *Cromaine Library to Read and Celebrate Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich* *During the NEA Big Read* June 2, 2016—Hartland, MI—Hartland’s Cromaine Library is a recipient of a grant of $5,000 to host the NEA Big Read in Hartland. A program of the National Endowment for the Arts, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. Hartland’s Cromaine Library is one of 77 nonprofit organizations to receive a grant to host an NEA Big Read project between September 2016 and June 2017. The NEA Big Read in Hartland will focus on Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich. Activities will take place in November 2016. According to Ceci Marlow, Cromaine’s library director, “Big Read is an exceptional opportunity for our community to explore and be enriched by cultural experiences often absent from busy, daily lives. This is especially true of "Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich. Native American cultural events, foods, music, and artifacts will bring the pages to life. We are excited and grateful to our supporting partners!” Managed by Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read offers grants to support innovative community reading programs designed around a single book. The program supports organizations across the country in developing community-wide reading programs which encourage reading and participation by diverse audiences. Organizations selected to participate in the NEA Big Read receive a grant, access to online training resources and opportunities, and educational and promotional materials designed to support widespread community involvement. Our kickoff event is scheduled for Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 10 am until 1 pm. We are pleased to have Reg Pettibone and his wife Marca bring their Authentic Native American Program complete with artifacts, a tipi, and music and dance to start the day, followed by food samples, games, crafts and more for this family-friendly event!
