In the library world today, there is a huge need for support organizations - friends and foundations - but often the lines between these two groups are blurred and their work counter-productive. In this webinar, presenters Peter Pearson and Sue Hall will discuss the difference in the roles of friends and foundations and identify areas where there can be conflict - and present strategies for minimizing conflict. They will also address the question "When is it time for the two organizations to merge?" and share solutions for engaging in a merger process that minimizes pain and maximizes potential. Pearson and Hall will also talk about national challenges and trends for friends and foundations. To register, visit www.ala.org/united/training/webinars<http://www.ala.org/united/training/webinars>. Webinar participants will learn: * What is happening to friends groups and foundations across the country; * To identify the signs that your support organizations should consider merging; * What a merged organization should look like; * How to conduct a process that honors members of both organizations; * How to ensure that the newly-merged organization is successful. Peter Pearson is the president of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library (the Library's foundation) and Lead Consultant with Library Strategies. One of the leading experts on library development and advocacy in the U.S., Pearson has led The Friends for nearly 25 years and is recognized as one of the most successful library fundraisers in the country. Sue Hall is the director of Library Strategies, a consulting group of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library.

Hamilton's America Preview Screening
by Jessica Luther 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

We are thrilled to be hosting and facilitating this programming with CMU Public Broadcasting! /“Hamilton’s America” Preview Screening Event at/ Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library <https://www.alpenalibrary.org/> *Sunday, October 9 at 2 p.m.* *//*A preview screening of///Hamilton’s America, /the documentary film that brings history to vivid life through the lens of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s pop culture Broadway phenomenon /Hamilton/ – winner of 11 Tony Awards® and the Pulitzer Prize — will be held at Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library <https://www.alpenalibrary.org/>on Sunday, October 9 at 2 p.m. David Nicholas, CMU Public Radio producer and host of “Mosaic,” will co-host the event on Sunday and follow up on Monday with a live broadcast from 9 a.m. to noon from the Library. The public is encouraged to attend both events.Highlights of the 2016 PBS Arts Fall Festival will also be shared. The story of Alexander Hamilton is most remembered for its dramatic conclusion, which saw Hamilton killed in a duel by Vice President Aaron Burr. But the full story of this political genius – a poor immigrant who built himself up from nothing to become one of the nation’s most vital architects – has largely been forgotten by history…until now. Today, Hamilton’s fan club is vocal and growing, thanks, in no small measure, to Tony®, Grammy®, and Emmy®-winning composer and actor, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s revolutionary musical. With its young cast claiming America’s history as its own, /Hamilton /is redefining how audiences learn about history. The programshows just how timeless the hot-button issues of today’s America are: immigration, States’ rights, debt, income inequality, and race relations. These were the same fights that defined Hamilton’s time, and they are the driving force of Miranda’s historic work. The film endeavors to brush the dust off American history, much as the musical does, and provide a unique new way for us to view our national heritage and current political landscape. A unique window into the artistry and research involved in making the show, viewers will witness Miranda at the White House in 2009 performing an early version of what would become “Alexander Hamilton,” the first number in the musical and they will also be given an inside view of Miranda as he composes songs in Aaron Burr’s Manhattan bedroom. They will travel to Virginia with *Christopher Jackson* –who was Tony®-nominated for his portrayal of George Washington in the musical –as he reveals his personal struggle preparing for the role, while grappling with our Founder’s legacy of slavery. Back in New York, Miranda, who originated the Tony®-nominated role of Hamilton in the musical and *Leslie Odom, Jr.* – who won a Tony Award® for his portrayal of Aaron Burr – visit the Museum of American Finance to get a deeper understanding of the historical figures they are depicting on stage, including a memorable moment from this research trip, when the two actors brandish authentic 19^th -century dueling pistols. “Hamilton’s America” airs on CMU Public Television October 21 at 9 p.m. ** ** *Make plans now to attend more “Hamilton” - related events at the Library!* */All events are free and open to the public./* *October 2nd, 2:00 pm* *Rise Up! A Hamilton Listening and Dance Party*- Experience the musical with your ears and your feet! Light refreshments and free Hamilton coloring pages will be provided. *October 9th, 2:00 pm *Join CMU Public Broadcasting for a *Preview Screening of PBS’s Great Performances “Hamilton's America”* and a look at what’s coming up this fall on the PBS Arts Fall Festival. *October 16th, 2:00 pm* *Screening of the Musical "1776" and Counterpoint Discussion* - Before “Hamilton,” there was “1776.” Enjoy a free screening of the film version followed by a discussion on the similarities and differences of these two revolutionary musicals. *October 23rd, 2:00 pm* *Lip Sync Duels and Hamiltrivia*- Do not throw away your shot! Blow us all away with your amazing lip syncing skills! Show off your Hamilton knowledge with a trivia contest...no internet searches allowed! *October 30th and November 6^th , 2:00 pm *- *Hamilton Crafternoons*- Listen to the audiobook of /Hamilton: A Revolution/ while working on the craft of your choice. -- Jessica Luther Development Coordinator Alpena County George N.

Memoir Writing Workshop at Dearborn Public Library: Wed, Sept 28
by Henry Fischer 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi everyone, Here's a description of one of our upcoming library programs (flyer attached): Want to write about your life? If so, consider attending the free “Memoir Writing Workshop” at Henry Ford Centennial Library, 16301 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, in Room 30 on Wednesday, September 28, 6-8 p.m. R.J. Fox—a Dearborn native, graduate of Edsel Ford High School and University of Michigan-Dearborn, and author of *Love & Vodka: My Surreal Adventures in the Ukraine*—will offer advice on how to write your own memoir. “There is nothing in life that can't be turned into a story,” says Fox. “You don't have to be famous to write memoir. You don't even need to have a profound experience to write about. Sometimes, the most mundane memories from our life can make for the most interesting, relatable experiences—if written in an entertaining and thought-provoking way.” He also points out: “In many ways, memoir writing is similar to movies based on real-life people. There is usually a mutual understanding that not all of it can be 100% exactly the way it happened. You are not a news reporter. Nor is the audience expecting you to be.” Fox will be selling copies of his book at the end of the program. So, if you’re interested in writing your own memoir, or if you want to learn more about this author’s "charming chronicle,”* please stop by. No registration necessary. *Quote taken from Thomas BeVier’s review on forewordreviews.com Thank you! Best wishes, Henry Henry Fischer Librarian I Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48126 (313) 943-2341 dearbornlibrary.org

State Librarian's Excellence Award Winner announced for 2016
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill Disessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Benzonia Public Library Earns 2016 State Librarian's Excellence Award September 26, 2016 LANSING - The Benzonia Public Library (BPL) has earned the 2016 State Librarian's Excellence Award for its superior customer service, State Librarian Randy Riley announced today. Riley presents the annual award, including $2,000 in privately-donated funds, October 28 at the Michigan Library Association's annual conference in Lansing. "Michigan libraries are doing amazingly creative things to serve their communities," Riley said. "Benzonia Public Library has been able to provide its users with an experience that rivals or exceeds those offered by much larger or greater-funded library systems." The Library of Michigan Foundation and Library of Michigan (LM) present the State Librarian's Excellence and Citations of Excellence awards each year to highlight the importance of services provided by Michigan's libraries. This year's Citations of Excellence went to the Troy Public Library (TPL) and Orion Township Public Library (OTPL). Each library receives $1,000 as a Citation of Excellence winner. The State Librarian's Excellence Award is sponsored by Roger Mendel and his late wife June. The Citation of Excellence Awards are funded by Martin L. Gibbs in memory of his late wife, Carole Sorenson and the Library of Michigan Foundation in recognition of former Executive Director Carolyn "Sparky" Mowery. "The staff, board, volunteers and friends of Benzonia Public Library could not be more delighted with this incredible honor," said Benzonia Public Library Director Amanda McLaren. "It is always our goal to give our best to our community. Our community is our purpose, our focus and our inspiration." Riley said BPL's proactive, collaborative approach to establishing meaningful partnerships in its community is a model for other libraries of all sizes. Some BPL programs and partnerships include: * Selected by the University of Michigan School of Information to host a three-day "Making in Michigan Libraries" workshop * Partnering with three other Benzie county libraries to offer the Great Benzie Read Program * In response to an increase in local teen overdoses and suicides, worked with a local child psychiatrist to offer a session on childhood depression * Teamed with Frankfort Community Credit Union to offer a program during Money Smart Week * The Summer Reading program "Building S.T.E.A.M. at the Benzonia Public Library" provided weekly sessions focusing on science, technology, engineering, art or mathematics * Active member of the Crystal Lake Community Business Association * Presented the "Power Tool Basics for Women" program State Librarian's Excellence Award evaluation factors include: demonstrating that the library provides superior service to its customers and community in a cost-effective manner, with a can-do attitude; always delivering on promises; and fulfilling the library's commitment to high standards of customer service. In earning Citations of Excellence, the Troy and Orion Township libraries also are recognized for customer service. TPL has embraced its community's teens and challenged them to help make the library more teen-friendly, to grow the next generation of users and to improve services overall. Young patrons responded enthusiastically and actively took on more "ownership" of the facility. OTPL strives to provide superior service with a goal to engage a thriving community of lifelong learners. It successfully has positioned itself as a community gathering and learning place where children, teens, entrepreneurs, educators and seniors are all welcome. OTPL received the first annual Library of Congress Award from the Michigan Department of Education for its work on early literacy initiatives. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 175 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.

Nutrition presentation - recommended
by Melissa Goins 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Hello neighbor libraries, We just had an excellent presentation at our library called "Clean Eating: Protect Your Wellbeing in a Processed World." Deborah Lieder is a local chef focused on whole foods for a healthy lifestyle. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained some of the cell science behind highly processed foods and their effects on our bodies. She touched on GMOs, pesticides, and the pros and cons of today's most popular diets. Overall, it was an excellent wellbeing segment that I highly recommend to our neighbor libraries. Deborah was reasonably priced and absolutely wonderful! Here's a scan of her business card if anyone would like to contact her for a segment.
