ALA News for November 6, 2018 NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ALA, GLBTRT continue to voice support of LGBTQ civil liberties The American Library Association (ALA) and its Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table (GLBTRT) released a joint statement in response to proposals to rescind Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) federal civil rights protections. Currently the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Justice Department have undertaken initiatives that would abolish federal recognition of approximately 1.4 million Americans who identify as transgender under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and deny the protections of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender Citizens. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/11/ala-glbtrt-continue-voice-su… Author Robin DiAngelo is the ALA President’s Program Speaker at the 2019 Midwinter Meeting For more than 20 years, Robin DiAngelo has worked with a wide range of organizations in the private, nonprofit and government sectors consulting and training on the issues of racial and social justice. She says, “I grew up poor and white. While my class oppression has been relatively visible to me, my race privilege has not. In my efforts to uncover how race has shaped my life, I have gained deeper insight by placing race in the center of my analysis and asking how each of my other group locations have socialized me to collude with racism.” DiAngelo, the author of the New York Times best-seller "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism," was invited to present in the ALA President's Program by ALA President Loida Garcia-Febo, who leads the Libraries - Strong Communities endeavor. The session will take place from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2019, at the 2019 ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits in Seattle. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/10/author-robin-diangelo-ala-presi… Public Library Association supports libraries in connecting consumers to health care coverage Nov. 1, 2018 marked the beginning of the six-week enrollment period for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and the Public Library Association (PLA) is providing support for public libraries to help their communities get covered. As part of a national partnership made possible by funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Community Catalyst, PLA is promoting enrollment in the ACA Marketplace through libraries. Through its new insurance education and outreach initiative, Promoting Health Communities: Libraries Connecting You to Coverage, PLA recently awarded mini-grants to dozens of public libraries across the country. Grant recipients will disseminate information, offer education, partner with health insurance enrollment and provider groups, and encourage community members to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace during the open enrollment period. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/11/public-library-association-s… Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee seeking applicants for Book Donation Grant Underfunded libraries, schools and non-traditional organizations that provide educational services to children are invited to apply to receive one of three Coretta Scott King Book Donation Grants.

school/public partnerships -- ConnectED
by Lise Mitchell 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi, Looking for libraries that have active ConnectED or partnerships with your schools where you are loading student data into your ILS to give borrowing privileges to the students. 1. Are you currently loading data? when did you start? 2. How often do you load? 3. Do students only have access to electronic materials or print too? 4. Do you offer an opt-out option to parents? 5. Do you offer an upgrade to full library card to parents for the students? 6. Does this student card replace their old/regular library card or is this a second card? 7. What privacy or agreements did you have to sign with your school to start the program? any samples much appreciated! thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E. Jefferson Street Grand Ledge, MI 48837 gladldirector(a)gmail.com 517-622-3550 direct 517-627-7014 Library 517-627-6276 fax

Millage results
by Lisa Hoenig 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

I am thrilled to report that voters passed the Ypsilanti District Library's proposal for .7 mills of additional millage funding yesterday! The unofficial tally shows 67% in favor, with 23,100 Yes and 11,372 No votes. We won in every precinct, a wonderful show of support from our three municipalities. This puts YDL back on solid financial ground and will allow us to build a long-delayed and much-needed full-service branch in Superior Township. A win-win for our library and community!
