Policy regarding public displays
by Don Priest 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi all, back with another question. Some of you might remember that, when I asked about religion in the libraries recently, I also mentioned an objection to our Pride Month display. Well, that wasn't the end of it, apparently, and we may need to update our policy to cover what can and cannot be displayed in the library. So, I'm hoping to get some input on what other libraries may have in their policies that cover this. I will, of course, compile responses, but as before, if you would like your comments to remain private, please tell me so, and I will leave them out. Thanks! Don Priest Southgate Veterans Memorial Library 14680 Dix-Toledo Rd. Southgate, MI 48195 734-258-3002 ext. 3003

Headquarters-Ocala Public Library Launches Libraries Rock! Summer Reading Program with Giving Tree Music Event by Cynthia Plesner Music and story lovers of all ages gathered for the Marion County Public Library System’s Giving Tree Music event in Ocala, Florida June 5. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/b43bd92f-dfe…] Performer Steve Turner, from Giving Tree Music, led the group in an energetic and engaging program that kept everyone moving. Each of the 175 participants were given a drum or percussion instrument to play, creating an engaging drum circle filled with energy, passion and smiles. Turner brought so much joy and passion for drumming to those attending his program. From the moment children and families walked in the door, they were encouraged to start drumming, playing and rattling to find their own rhythm and groove. Turner did a wonderful job of transforming a group of musical rookies into a harmonious community ensemble. The giggles, roars of laughter and smiles on the faces of participating children and adults made the program unforgettable. Watching the parents and grandparents get on their feet and dance with their children, was priceless. The group learned different types of movements and rhythms and were encouraged to continue the experience at home; dancing and creating music with everyday objects around the house. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/1fd83a79-ad1…] Families have expressed their gratitude to library staff for hosting this entertaining event. One mother thanked staff for giving her family a new library experience. She also shared that her son was surprised he got to make so much noise in the library. His favorite part was when everyone was drumming, tapping, and knocking to create a thunderous community heartbeat. She thanked the library for being the heart of our community.

While Children's Department Supervisor Julie Dassler was setting up, one little girl was so excited when she saw the stage! Julie told her that she was not quite finished setting everything up, but when she was, there would also be blow up instruments and photo props.

Books & Brew for Libraries Read: 1 Book
by Pam Seabolt 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

MCLS Libraries Read: 1 Book Join us for books and brews at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services’ in-person book discussions in August in both Michigan and Indiana. We will discuss this year’s winning title for Libraries Read: 1 Book, When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele. According to GoodReads<https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34964998-when-they-call-you-a-terrorist>, this book is, "a poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free… When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable." Those who submitted the title for consideration felt it would be a fantastic point to bring this conversation into the libraries, and to help us better understand the communities that we serve. Join us for a fun evening! Aug. 7, 6:30pm at Sun King Brewery in Fishers, IN. The discussion will be led by Kirsten Weaver from the Indianapolis Public Library (Register here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIVdCB-WWJASq6YOb9iZV6QIqH1lvvI5s…>) Aug. 16, 5:30pm at Lansing Brewing Company in Lansing, MI. The discussion will be led by Kevin King from the Kalamazoo Public Library (Register here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1zpCzKqc_blNM_mq4N5of_yDPET0ijWB…>) Library staff are also invited to attend an in-person discussion with Lake County Public Library staff on Oct 17, 2pm at Lake County Public Library in Merrillville, IN (Register here<http://events.lcplin.org/event/957757>). Hope you can join us!
