Here are her step by step instructions for you to create you own! 1. First decide if this space ship will be for little people or for all ages so you can determine what size boxes you will need and where you might put your completed space ship. This could be a group or family project. We made our ship for adults at the ARSL conference. 2. Contact your local appliance store and ask them to save you a refrigerator box and possible a dryer/oven/washer box. 3. Our boxes had flat lids and we chose to keep those in tack to give the space ship a little more stability. 4. Make an opening on the backside of the refrigerator box large enough to allow your patrons to go in and out. 5. Make an oval (or two, or three) to allow patrons to put their face in for a photo op or just to see out (and you to see in) 6. Cover your refrigerator box with butcher paper or craft paper, and mold it around your openings. We put duct tape over opens to cover the rough edges and to help hold the paper on. The inside of the box does not need to be covered since that is only for the patron to go in and play or get their picture taken. 7. To make the top of your rocket/space ship, trim the dryer box down to an appropriate size. 8. Beginning at the middle cut each side of the box down to the corner of the lid in to form the four peaks/points of the rocket. 9. Cover or decorate the points any way that you feel will be attractive to your patrons. 10. Connect the four point with duct tape to stabilize the top. 11. Set the completed dryer box on top of the completed refrigerator box. 12. We used stars and colored duct tape and ribbon to cover the areas that were still exposed and to help stabilize the space ship more. 13. Have tons of fun with this project!

Streaming/Recording library programming?
by Andrea Ingmire 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Anyone out there streaming or recording library programs? What platforms are you using? Any special equipment you would recommend? Do you have forms for presenters which allow the presentation to be recorded/streamed? How are you making these accessible later? Any advice for streaming vs recording for later access only? We've got a few patrons who are basically home bound in the winter. They've been requesting this service, and this is the year we're going to make it happen (for some of our programming). Any advice is appreciated!! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *Andrea IngmireLibrary DirectorPeter White Public Library* (906) 226-4303 (office) (906) 250-0080 (cell) (906) 226-1783 (fax) *http://pwpl.info/ <http://pwpl.info/>* **to ensure I am receiving your emails, please discontinue the use of aing(a)pwpl.info**

Any library out there using TotalBoox? It is apparently a library-oriented program/platform which allows patrons to download e-books. Once downloaded, the patron has the downloaded book forever.

ALA News for September 25, 2018

ALA News for September 25, 2018 NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION National writing contest launches to engage communities with literature America’s libraries are home to countless volumes and voices of diverse writers. They also are trusted public spaces for people to connect, receive community information and grow as readers and writers. The Public Library Association (PLA) today announced a new national writing contest that aims to build on the rich legacy of these vital community institutions. The contest invites writers of all backgrounds to submit short stories on the theme of courage. Winners can receive up to $1,000 and have the opportunity to be published in Short Story Dispensers—ATM-like kiosks that print short stories in a range of genres—around the world. The contest is hosted in collaboration with Short Édition, the creator of Short Story Dispensers, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “Librarians know that literacy and reading are foundational for full civic participation. This partnership bolsters creative community expression and engagement—inspiring those who write to read more, and those who read to write better,” said PLA President Monique le Conge Ziesenhenne. “Our hope for this contest is to further connect our communities with literature, local libraries and each other.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/09/national-writing-contest-lau… Sarah Jessica Parker book club pick is a radiant retelling of Liberia’s early years Honorary Book Club Central Chair Sarah Jessica Parker has selected Wayétu Moore’s "She Would Be King" (Graywolf Press) as her latest pick for the American Library Association’s (ALA) Book Club Central.
