The online committee volunteer form opens on Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018, and closes on Friday, Nov. 9, 2018. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/volunteer-serve-ala-council-and… Freedom to Read Foundation joins with SJSU iSchool and the iSchool at Illinois to offer Fall Intellectual Freedom Courses This Fall the Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) is working with professors at the San Jose State University School of Information (SJSU iSchool) and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign iSchool (iSchool at Illinois) to offer intellectual freedom courses for current library and information science (LIS) students. Professor Carrie Gardner will lead a three-credit, asynchronous Intellectual Freedom Seminar through the SJSU iSchool between Aug. 21 and Dec. 10, 2018. Dr. Gardner has taught intellectual freedom (IF) courses since 2002 and her course explores topics ranging from the legal foundation of the First Amendment to IF history, policies, ethics, and privacy, and the ways these topics intersect in our libraries. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/freedom-read-foundation-joins-s… Forty-five state library associations partner with ALA to offer joint student membership program The program allows students engaged in a program of study or certification in MLS/MLIS, CAEP and LTA programs for no more than five total years to join ALA and one participating ALA Chapter for one low membership rate. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/08/forty-five-state-library-ass… DOGObooks and YALSA partner for 2018 Teens’ Top Ten voting The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) has announced that it will be partnering with DOGObooks, the largest website for kids and teen books, to host the voting for the 2018 Teens’ Top Ten.

While there’s no single solution to this, there is an approach that can help. The Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) will present “Leading Change with Powerful Conversations Using Appreciative Inquiry,” at 1:30 - 3 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, Aug. 22. This webinar will explore the power of appreciative inquiry, a strengths-based approach to creating organizational evolution by developing conversations where all feel heard with respect and empathy. By posing powerful questions that ask what can be, leaders can help their organization become more energized and innovative. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/llama-webinar-helps-leaders-mov… AWARDS AND GRANTS Friends of Shelby Area District Library and Friends of the Ravenna Library receive United for Libraries’ Baker & Taylor Awards http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/08/friends-shelby-area-district… ALSC now accepting applications for 2019 Penguin Random House Young Readers Group Award http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/08/alsc-now-accepting-applicati… Rosen Publishing Group sponsors AASL Distinguished Service Award http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/08/rosen-publishing-group-spons… Taylor-Cloud wins stipend to attend YALSA’s 2018 YA Services Symposium http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/taylor-cloud-wins-stipend-atten… Deadline Aug. 31 for Emerging Leaders program applications http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/still-accepting-applications-em… ALSC’s 'Children and Libraries' journal honored with publishing award http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/alsc-s-children-and-libraries-j… ONLINE LEARNING Learn about OED, imposter syndrome, critical information literacy, more in upcoming ACRL e-Learning webcasts http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/learn-about-oed-imposter-syndro… Introduction to Metadata and Linked Data http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/new-iteration-introduction-meta… Dealing with Substance Abuse in the Library: A Guide to Helping Patrons and the Community http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/new-session-dealing-substance-a… ALA PUBLISHING Rob Reid's collection of hundreds of story program activities http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/08/rob-reids-collection-hundreds-s…

SRP18 Survey
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Please take a few minutes to complete the SRP annual survey for the Library of Michigan, no matter your theme or participation in CSLP; it provides us with valuable feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MI18SRP Adult program, Teens & Children's stats are all covered in this 1 survey, but you do not need to complete all 3 age groups, just the one(s) you coordinate. Be sure to discuss with your co-workers who is completing what section and feel free to forward to other departments (children's/teens/adults) for them to complete their portion. If you're submitting a district-wide report (in lieu of branch-by-branch), please note that in the "Name of branch" box. Please submit your responses by Friday, September 7, 2018, to be eligible for a prize drawing. Additional survey from CSLP (all public libraries in Michigan are members): The audience for this survey is public library staff. This survey is being conducted by the Statistics Committee of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Our goal is to better understand how public library staff use and value CSLP membership and materials. For the purposes of this survey, we use the phrase "summer library program" in equivalence to summer reading program or summer learning program. This survey does not concern materials and promotions provided by CSLP partner organizations, such as Demco/Upstart. The survey is open now through October 31, 2018. All public libraries in Michigan are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, thanks to funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Value of CSLP Membership and Materials survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslp_value This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
