Featuring our own Michigan Reads!<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_26038---,00.ht…> Cathy From: MDE Communications [mailto:MDE@govsubscriptions.michigan.gov] Sent: Thursday, March 2, 2017 2:24 PM To: Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) <LancasterC5(a)michigan.gov> Subject: March is Reading Month Message [MDE Banner 2016] [Podcast] <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…> Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum March is Reading Month and the State Superintendent is asked each year to come to schools all across Michigan and read to the students. He loves reading to kids, especially his grandkids. Because State Superintendent Brian Whiston's schedule doesn't allow him to reach all of the schools that ask, he wanted to provide a video of himself reading a children's book that schools and early childcare centers can play to the children. Brian offers a brief message about the importance of learning to read, followed by him reading Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum. HAPPY READING MONTH! http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140--406093--,00.html<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…> ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo]<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…> Questions?

Check out these free upcoming workshops from WebJunction, offered courtesy of the library of Michigan Privacy Literacy at Your Library Tuesday, March 7 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Our offline lives are no longer separate from our online identities. Many people are unaware of how their information is being used, what they have control over, or how to have safe online interactions. San José Public Library's Virtual Privacy Lab <http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=56e402348b564c13a6023730ee4c4730a1d5d8941a44d1f…> has developed a seven-module customized learning experience for library patrons, in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. The modules guide users through topics such as social media and security, and provide personalized tips, links and resources that enable them to feel safe and confident online. This privacy literacy resource is available for everyone, so learn how you can utilize the online Virtual Privacy Lab with the populations you serve at your library. This webinar is part of a series highlighting the work of recent LJ Movers & Shakers and is hosted in collaboration with Library Journal. Presented by: Erin Berman, Innovations Manager, San José Public Library (CA) Whole Person Librarianship: Fostering Empathy in Challenging Times Tuesday, March 28 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Libraries are among the few public spaces that feel safe and welcoming to everyone in our current political landscape. As librarians striving to provide equitable service, we are challenged to meet the needs of patrons whose life experiences are markedly different from our own. To address these challenges, we have much to learn much from social workers, who are trained to approach their clients with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries. Whole Person Librarianship draws from social work concepts to help librarians become more confident in learning from, interacting with, and serving diverse patrons. Learn basic ideas to build your empathy skills, such as cultural humility and person-in-environment, to apply right away to your library practice, as well as where to find more in-depth information and support. Presented by: Sara Zettervall, Founder, Whole Person Librarianship<http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=56e402348b564c137e287b3fcf585c2f0501a45b9a49e1d…>, and Adult Services Librarian, Hennepin County Library (MN); and Mary Nienow, PhD Candidate in Social Work, and beginning in August 2017, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (WI).

Michigan Reads! 2017 is off to a great start for March is Reading Month! Looking forward to seeing/hearing about your programs on social media, just remember to use #MiReads when posting. Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 517-335-8129 517-373-5700 f LancasterC5(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LancasterC5@michigan.gov> www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan<http://www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan> From: Martin Ackley [mailto:MDE@govsubscriptions.michigan.gov] Sent: Wednesday, March 1, 2017 10:15 AM To: Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) <LancasterC5(a)michigan.gov> Subject: Michigan Department of Education Press Release [MDE Logo] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 2017 Michigan Reads! Program Features Book by Award-Winning Author March 1, 2017 LANSING - A rhyming, rollicking children's book about a toad in trouble and anxiety stuck on a road in a load of gum of the bubble variety has been named as the featured title of the 2017 "Michigan Reads! One State, One Children's Book" program, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum is authored by Lisa Wheeler, a Michigan resident, and illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith (Little Brown and Company, 2004). Wheeler is the award-winning author of more than 35 children's books including Even Monsters Need to Sleep (2017) and the popular Dino-Sports series. Her awards include: American Library Association Notable Children's Book, the Parents Choice Recommended Award, and the Society of School Librarians International Honor Book. "Reading can be fun and entertaining while teaching children at the same time, as shown by Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum" State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. "Having all children reading at grade level by the end of third grade remains one of our top priorities." In the book, readers wonder what happens when Toad gets stuck in gum melting in the road, and are called upon to join in the adventure to help free Toad and friends, using teamwork, from their sticky predicament. "The Michigan Reads! program this year offers an exciting, tongue-twister of a story about working together," said State Librarian Randy Riley. "Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, is a fun way to engage children in the love of reading." The Library of Michigan's (LM) "Michigan Reads!" program is devoted to increasing early childhood literacy and pre-reading readiness. Programming, events, and author visits are scheduled at schools and libraries statewide during "March is Reading Month." The program launches Monday, March 6, at the Delta Township District Library. The "Michigan Reads!" program is modeled after the "One Book, One Community" concept and is designed to emphasize the importance of shared reading practices with babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and young school-age children. These practices set the stage for fluent reading achievement in children as they enter school. The program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Consumers Energy Foundation, and partners with the Library of Michigan Foundation. With support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the LM will provide a hardcover copy of the book and programming materials to all public libraries, elementary schools, Head Start and Great Start Readiness programs across the state. "Michigan Reads!" provides librarians, early childhood educators, parents, and caregivers with ideas to help children develop literacy skills through play-based activities. Since its inception in 2004, the program has aimed to promote the value and benefits of reading early and often to children; to encourage family bonding through reading; and to increase awareness and usage of Michigan's libraries as excellent resources for learning. More information about "Michigan Reads!" - including dates and locations of author visits and materials for parents, teachers and caregivers - is available at www.michigan.gov/michiganreads<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…>. # # # The Library of Michigan - Michigan's official state library agency for more than 185 years - is part of the Michigan Department of Education.
