Speaking of Birds
by Kimberly Young 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hello to each of you! I wanted to share the contact information for Backyard Birds and Beyond with all of you. HLPL has had Greg Bodker visit twice in the past 3 years to present. His program titled "Bird Watching VS Birding" was very informative, but it was his photography and appropriate sense of humor that made the event fun and enjoyable. Greg's passion for the subject and extensive experience shine as he speaks! And did I mention his photography?!?! His shots will elicit exclamations and questions. Below you will find a link to the website and an attached flier (I will gladly send to anyone interested that gets this in digest). Please let me know if you have any questions or if want me to send and introductory email.

Ingram/B&T Retail?
by Jim Flury 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/industry-deals/a… The article seems to imply that any potential sale to Ingram would involve only the retail side of B&T, as opposed to the (more profitable) library side, which would remain with Follett? Before the rise of Amazon and the demise of many independent bookstores, and Borders too, a good rule of thumb was that B&T's business consisted of 50% libraries and 50% retail, whereas Ingram was 90% retail and 10% libraries. Brodart, with the exception of a couple of bookstores they owned which I believe are now closed, was and still is 100% libraries. I don't know how things shake out retail vs library sales today. In the earliest days of Amazon, and this may still be the case today, Ingram's Nashville book warehouse fulfilled orders for Amazon's Nashville book warehouse.

ALA/Grow with Google: Libraries Ready to Code
by Duimstra,Scott 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hi everyone, ALA and Google announced that they are collaborating on the Libraries Ready to Code<https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/grow-with-google/grow-google-comin…> initiative. I wanted to share this information with you because we've had great success with Grow with Google<https://grow.google/>. Lansing was fortunate enough to be selected as a Grow with Google<https://grow.google/events/lansing/> city in 2018. When they came here, CADL was one of the partnering organizations they worked with to bring digital skills training to students, teacher and business owners. We've used their curriculum and training plans for classes and have had great success. If you have any questions about our experience with Grow with Google, feel free to reach out to me.

Public Libraries and Foster Care (Nicole Sype)
by Reed, Nyama 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

We have a local book club group of foster parents that meet at the library. They discuss foster related books and sometimes bring in their own speakers. We allow them to meet in the children's area, so they can remain near their children in case of any needs. They bring along a couple sitters for the kids, so they are supervised. At this point, any group who meets in the children's area needs to bring sitters bc the kids are basically unattended while the parents are in a separate space meeting. Sincerely, Nyama Nyama Y.

Or if any libraries work with local social workers to provide resources, programs, or workshops to the foster care community? The only things that I've been able to find are Foster Care Library cards and the use of the library as a meeting space for biological families to visit their children that are in foster care. I'm very interested in learning what other services or programs libraries are offering to foster care communities!
