Looking to amp up the “A” in your STEAM program? How about life-sized DIY puppetry?
by Kristin Fontichiaro 24 May '17

24 May '17

Bring puppets into your library in a whole new way. Based on techniques developed by the folks behind the production of *War Horse, *you’ll use big pieces of newsprint to create a low-fi version of traditional *bunraku *puppets. In *bunraku, *puppets are essentially life-sized creatures controlled with a team of visible operators, not string. Learn to make them “breathe,” move, and come to life. We’ll also explore a smaller, tabletop version. Join us for a free workshop on *Wednesday, May 31, from 10am - noon at North Quad on the University of Michigan campus *and see how these super-simple materials can create surprisingly lifelike motion! We’ll even send you back to your library with as much newsprint as you like so you’ll be ready-to-go with your next program. Click here to see a sample tabletop puppet video. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/michiganmakers/34811202766/in/dateposted-publ…> Click here to see how simple techniques can animate life-sized paper puppets. <https://youtu.be/vXT3gPef8zo?t=2m37s> *Registration for this and events: http://makinginmichiganlibraries.eventbrite.com <http://makinginmichiganlibraries.eventbrite.com>* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coming up soon: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *June 6 - U-M campus - Google Cardboard - virtual reality for under $10!* Wish you could stand under the Eiffel tower and look around but can’t afford the ticket to France? Instead, why not go there via Virtual Reality? All you need is a $10 cardboard box fitted with lenses and your smartphone (headphones suggested). The first 20 who register by 6/1 will leave the workshop with a Google Cardboard viewer for their library! *June 8 - U-M campus - Fashion Hacking - repurposing secondhand clothing* Did you know that some of the largest thrift stores in the U.S. are right in suburban Detroit? They’re bursting at the seams, often offering their secondhand clothing for as little as 99 cents after a few weeks lingering on the rack. Turn those low-cost secondhand finds into new creations for less than the cost of a trip to the fabric store. Sewing is one of the hottest programs in many public libraries! Registration here. For a full schedule of our summer workshops throughout Michigan, visit our Eventbrite page <http://makinginmichiganlibraries.eventbrite.com/>. We'll be in Niles (near the Indiana border), Marquette (Upper Peninsula), Frankenmuth (mid-Michigan), Benzonia (near Traverse City), Houghton Lake (mid-Michigan), Alpena (Northeast Lower Peninsula), Ann Arbor (Southeastern Michigan, and Coopersville (near Grand Rapids). -- Kristin Fontichiaro University of Michigan School of Information 4427 North Quad 105 S.

Source for Inexpensive Children's Paperbacks
by G Nartker 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hello all - Our community has created a Little Free Library at our local park and is now having some issues keeping it stocked with children's books. At one time I remember Scholastic selling large bundles of books at quite a large discount. I am seeing bundles of books available on Ebay but wanted to know if any of you have come across sites where our community could purchase large quantities of books at a minimal cost. Of course I have already suggested thrift shops, churches, etc. so what I am looking for now is someplace to purchase in quantity. Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
