FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Kalamazoo Public Library Announces 2019 Reading Together Title: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
by Farrell Howe 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* *October 10, 2018* *CONTACT* Karen Trout Coordinator, Reading Together Kalamazoo Public Library 269-553-7895 karent(a)kpl.gov *Kalamazoo Public Library - 2019 Reading Together Author:* *Angie Thomas: The Hate U Give* Kalamazoo, MI - Wednesday, October 10, 2018. Kalamazoo Public Library <http://www.kpl.gov/> is pleased to announce the Reading Together <http://www.kpl.gov/reading-together/> title for 2019: *The Hate U Give *by *New York Times* bestselling author Angie Thomas. Join us at Chenery Auditorium <http://www.cheneryaud.com/> on Wednesday, April 17, 2019, 7 pm to hear Thomas trace the development of her book—and in so doing, speak to the heart of race, activism and social change in America today. Admission is free and open to the public. The presentation will be followed by a book signing. Bookbug/this is a bookstore will sell copies of *The Hate U Give* at the event. Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter navigates between the poverty-stricken neighborhood where she lives and the upper-crust suburban prep school she attends. Her life is up-ended when she is the sole witness to the shooting of her childhood best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. As Starr finds herself even more torn between the two vastly different worlds she inhabits, she also has to contend with speaking her truth and, in the process, trying to stay alive herself. *The Hate U Give*—widely known as the first Black Lives Matter-inspired YA novel—has been a #1 *New York Times* bestseller for 70 weeks. Described as “the best—and most important—book of the year,” by *Entertainment Weekly*, it has already been adapted into a major feature film (Oct. 19), and Thomas’ hotly anticipated follow-up *On the Come Up (*Feb. 5) is generating buzz. Thomas’ keynotes resonate with the same authenticity, insight, and hope that make her book so powerful, and give context and background to the culture, politics, and movement that inspired it. Copies of *The Hate U Give* are now available at all five KPL locations <http://www.kpl.gov/locations-hours/>. *“Angie Thomas has written a stunning, brilliant, gut-wrenching novel that will be remembered as a classic of our time.”** – John Green, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of The Fault of our Stars.* *About the Author* Angie Thomas is the inaugural winner of the Walter Dean Myers Grant 2015, awarded by We Need Diverse Books. Born, raised, and still residing in Jackson, Mississippi—and a former teen rapper—she holds a BFA in Creative Writing from Belhaven University and an unofficial degree in hip hop. *About Reading Together* The purpose of Reading Together is to build a stronger community with deeper connections through the common experience of reading the same book and exploring its themes together. When we do that, we engage and learn, not only about ourselves, but more importantly about each other and the world around us. By experiencing the same book, hearing the author of that work speak right here in Kalamazoo, and examining the book’s themes through a local lens, we are able to embrace our similarities and differences from a common point of reference. Very simply, when we read together, we grow together. Learn more at www.kpl.gov/reading-together.

Statewide & Regional Stepping Stones to the National Digital Platform
by Gleisner, Tim (MDE) 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Grand Valley State University (GVSU) Libraries in coordination with the Library of Michigan, the Michigan Council of Library Directors (COLD), the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS), and each of the major professional associations in the state for libraries (Michigan Academic Library Association), archives (Michigan Archival Association), and museums (Michigan Museums Association) is distributing this electronic survey to our statewide cultural heritage institutions. If your institution resides in the state of Michigan and is self-classified as a library, archive, museum, gallery, historical society, research center, or other similar organization, we would like your help. The survey is designed to gather information about the status of your digital preservation program and to determine readiness and interest for engaging broader collaborations across the state and within the surrounding region to further your institution's digital preservation efforts. This is exploratory work. You may not directly benefit from this research; however, we hope that your participation in the study will improve our state's capacity to respond to the preservation needs for ensuring ongoing access to our shared digital heritage. GVSU Libraries will make a report on the survey findings publicly available in early 2019, and with the help of our coordinating partners, use the findings to guide further exploratory work at the state level. You will be asked to read completely and agree to our consent form before beginning the survey. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. The survey can be filled out by multiple people at your institution, but it is strongly encouraged that staff with the most knowledge of the institution's digital programs take the lead with completing the survey whenever possible. The survey does not need to be completed all at once. The link to the survey is here https://gvsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b87Hxg5Sq10vyMB. The survey will be open until October 1st, 2018. If you have questions about the survey you can contact Matt Schultz (Digital Curation Librarian, GVSU Libraries) at schultzm(a)gvsu.edu. If you have any questions concerning your rights as a research subject, you may contact the Grand Valley State University Office of Research Compliance & Integrity at (616)331-3197 (rci(a)gvsu.edu)
