Invitation to a Game of Thrones themed program at Pinckney Library
by Hope Siasoco 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Dear Library Colleagues, Please share widely: Send out the ravens! “Winter Has Come”: A Game of Thrones Event, featuring George R.R. Martin’s *A Song of Ice and Fire* books and the HBO series that these books inspired, will once again be returning to the Pinckney Library for its fourth and penultimate year. On *Tuesday, August 29, 2017*, *from 6:30pm to 8:30pm*, prepare to be transported to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros! “*Shall we begin?*“ – Daenerys Targaryen As with previous years, the first part of the program is “family friendly” and open to guests of all ages: · *Ring of Steel* – this presentation is paid for by the Friends of the Pinckney Library and is an hour and forty minutes show by the well-renowned action theatre and acting troupe. Members will demonstrate a few fighting styles, weapons and stunts from Game of Thrones. · *Photo Booth* – Strike a pose next to The Night King, Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow, King in the North, and take home a keepsake photo from our event! · *Game of Thrones** and A Song of Ice and Fire Trivia Games*—win for the honor of your House! Every trivia question sheet answered is a chance to win grand prizes at the end of the program. Following the performance from Ring of Steel, we will have a discussion of HBO’s Game of Thrones TV Series, with a focus on episodes from the penultimate Season 7—because we are all Unsullied now! We’ll also speculate on what’s to come for our beloved characters based on what’s been written by George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series. This portion of the evening contains mature content and may include spoilers for both the books and the TV series. Theme-inspired refreshments will be served throughout the evening and will include recipes from *A Feast of Ice and Fire: **The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook* and *Unofficial Game of Thrones Cookbook*. For more information or to register for this event, call the library (734-878-3888 <(734)%20878-3888>), check out our event listing @ http://bit.ly/2vHuSfN or stop by in person @ 125 Putnam St., Pinckney MI. Thank you for your attention and we hope very much to see you during this fun-filled event!

Best practices reminder for Michlib-l
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Greetings Michigan Library Community, This is a best practices update for posting to Michlib-l. We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 2. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." 3. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well. Have a fabulous day in Library Land, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

Michigan Author & Illustrator Quilt Unveiling Event!
by Julie Meredith 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

In the spring of 2011, Clarkston resident Gini Schultz began work on a Michigan Album Quilt of Authors and Illustrators. Forty-one authors and illustrators returned autographed muslin squares that were then embellished and incorporated into the album quilt. It is with great honor and pleasure that we announce the quilt is now finished and ready to be unveiled to the public. In celebration, we are holding an open house on Saturday, September 9, 2017, at our library from 2-5 p.m. We'll be serving refreshments, holding a silent auction of related items, and creator Gini Schultz will be here to tell her story of how the quilt came to be. And we're hoping that some of our distinguished authors and illustrators stop in to celebrate with us as well. Please join in the festivities as we unveil our one-of-a-kind Michigan Album Quilt of Authors and Illustrators! [1479245676164_PastedImage]

Re: [Michlib-l] Borrowing Privileges and Large Fine Management
by Steve Maesen 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

At the Kalamazoo Public Library patrons are unable to check out if they owe more than $10.00 in fines and/or fees. We bill for replacement costs at 45 days overdue. If that brings the bill to $45.00 or higher (either for fines, bills or a combination of both), the patron is referred to collections. On the other hand, we do not restrict computer access for patrons regardless of amount owed.

FW: [alsc-l] Bilingual Storytime at Your Biblioteca (online class)
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Bilingual Storytime at Your Biblioteca From: Library Juice Academy Instructor: Katie Scherrer Dates: September 5th to 30th, 2017 Credits: 1.5 CEUs Price: $175 http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/033-storytime-biblioteca.php This 4-week, online course teaches participants how to present bilingual storytimes (English/Spanish) for various ages, regardless of their own language skills. Video demonstrations, articles, online resources and course discussions direct students as they learn how to successfully deliver the various elements of bilingual storytimes, either on their own or with a bilingual community partner. Participants will discover new books, rhymes, songs, plans and resources that they can immediately put to use in their bilingual storytime programs. Learning Objectives: - Students will learn how to select and use the following components in bilingual storytime: books, songs, rhymes, fingerplays, and stories for telling aloud. - Students will experiment with incorporating bilingual materials into their existing storytime programs. - Students will select books and other materials they can use to increase inclusion of Latino culture and the Spanish language in their English storytime programs. - Students will develop strategies for working with bilingual community partners to present and market bilingual storytime. - Students will gain an increased understanding of the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children. - Students will articulate how bilingual storytime supports the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children, and identify online resources for sharing early literacy and school readiness information with Spanish-speaking parents. - Students will each develop two bilingual storytime plans. NOTE: This course does not address outreach/marketing to Latinos and Spanish-speakers, and is best suited for libraries that are already successfully serving these communities. Libraries interested in learning how to establish or improve services to Latino and Spanish-speaking families are encouraged to take the course, “Building Relationships, Building Bridges: Library Outreach and Marketing to Latino and Spanish-Speaking Families.” http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/032-spanish-speaking.php Katie Scherrer is a library consultant and training specialist whose work focuses on improving library services to Latino and Spanish-speaking children and families. She is the co-author (along with Jamie Campbell Naidoo) of Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytimes in English and Spanish, available from ALA Editions. Katie has presented many workshops on bilingual storytime and library services to Latino families for librarians and early childhood educators across the country. Katie's Website http://www.connectedcommunitiesconsulting.com/ Interview with Katie Scherrer http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/news/?p=150 This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register in this course through the first week of instruction (as long as it is not full). The "Register" button on the website goes to our credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing address).
