Silent Library - Responses
by Dave Ewick 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Original Question: Have any of you adapted the crazy game show "Silent Library" into a program? I think it would be a fun event to host but wondered if anyone else shared my idea and had some tips. What's that? Never heard of Silent Library? Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=silent+libraryI will happily summarize and post replies if you will send your ideas to me. Best, Dave Responses: I only got one that was even close to having had a program like this…everyone else was hoping I’d find good ideas to share with them (you)! >From Redford: I mentioned it but my teens wanted cash! HAHA!! I have done Minute to win it combined with Fear Factor. The teams got to choose the player for each challenge after hearing the category title. The trials were done after each trivia round (Chocolate theme one year, Disney theme the one before). The trial was always optional for those teams that got the answer correct but they always opted to do every challenge. P.S. Jimmy Fallon's episode was my fav! K.D.

Online patron library card registration
by Sheila Bissonnette 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Hello all, I’m looking for input on what other libraries are doing in terms of registering for a library card online. I’m finding that as we promote our digital/online services, patrons who are new to these services always ask “is there a way to register for a library card online?”. Our library currently only issues library cards to people who walk into our building. I’m wondering now if there are other things we can do to make registering (and using) digital library services easier? Do any libraries offer a way for people to register for a library card online? If so, how do you verify residency? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Sheila Sheila M.

Action ALert: Tell Congress: FY2019 budget proposal miscalculates the value of libraries
by Steven Bowers 13 Feb '18

#FundLibraries Tell Congress to invest in libraries: http://www.ala.org/fundlibraries ________________________________ From: Jim Neal, ALA President <MemberValue(a)ala.org> Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 8:22 PM To: Steven Bowers Subject: Tell Congress: FY2019 budget proposal miscalculates the value of libraries Having trouble viewing this e-mail? View as a web page.<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03MzU5Mzk3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NT…> [ALA Membership] Colleagues, Today, the White House released its budget proposal for FY 2019. As we anticipated, the proposal includes a significant cut to federal library funding and eliminates the Institute of Museum and Library Services<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03MzU5Mzk3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NT…> (IMLS), which provides approximately $183 million in direct funding to libraries through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). The budget proposal also eliminates the $27 million Innovative Approaches to Literacy program administered by the Department of Education. Withholding federal support for libraries means withholding services that foster achievement, develop the workforce and contribute to local economies. ALA members will continue to highlight the value of libraries to our elected leaders in every U.S. congressional district. And we are confident that our congressional leaders will continue to protect the federal programs that invest in our communities. These proposed cuts would impact many libraries across the country. While public and school libraries would see the largest effects, academic libraries with state-funded databases or those that apply for IMLS grants are also implicated. Since each state is required to match one-third of their federal LSTA grants, any cut to LSTA in the FY2019 budget is likely to lead to a cut on the state level. In addition, the cuts to IAL specifically target school library funding, which will make it harder for vulnerable schools to acquire the books, resources, and training needed to provide high-quality literacy programs for their students. Congress will have the final say on budget allocations for these programs in the FY2019 budget. Now is the time to let them know how important federal library funding is to their constituents. Use the ALA Action Center<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03MzU5Mzk3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MTgzODUmbGk9NT…> to send your Senators and Representative an email and ask for their public support of library funding throughout the FY2019 appropriations cycle.
