Calling all volunteers! Michigan History DayR is in need of history enthusiasts to volunteer as judges We need the help of individuals with an interest in history and education to serve as judges at the Michigan History DayR State Finals. The most important qualities for a judge are strong common sense and an enthusiasm for interacting with students. You should have a lively interest in history, but not necessarily a specific background in history. We provide training in how to judge the Michigan History Day entries, and you will be placed on teams with experienced judges. Judges evaluate the participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to the students. As part of the judging process, you will have the opportunity to interview the students who created the projects. One of the pleasures of judging at Michigan History Day is meeting students who have a passion for their topic! <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtwHAA2_y7U&t=3s> Watch our Michigan History DayR video. <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/mhd-judges-form/> Become a judge! cid:image001.jpg@01CF8A43.BF828E40 _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

Balancing Books and Social Issues: Homelessness and Trauma - An Infopeople Webinar
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

What: Balancing Books and Social Issues: Homelessness and Trauma<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=818&reset=1> When: February 6 @ 3:00PM With numerous budget cuts to social services programs, public libraries are encountering more individuals experiencing homelessness, and poverty. For many, a library may be the only place of refuge from the weather, or noise from a downtown cityscape. The increasing volume of need arising in many communities may leave library workers feeling ill-equipped or overwhelmed. Because of this, libraries are asking the questions: Why are there so many people experiencing homelessness in our libraries? How do we better serve our vulnerable customers? How do we educate and support our library staff? During this webinar social worker Elissa Hardy will address these questions and explore some solutions. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: * Learn how libraries can be protective factors at the forefront of societal issues * Understand ways that libraries can be a part of the solution to addressing poverty, homelessness, and more * Learn the importance of self-care while doing this work including the awareness of the effects of trauma and building resiliency This webinar will be of interest to: Anyone working in a public library setting. Webinars are free of charge, you can pre-register by clicking on the Register Now button on this page. If you pre-registered you will receive an email with login link and a reminder email the day before the event. Register now for Balancing Books and Social Issues: Homelessness and Trauma<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=818&reset=1> Evette M.

NASA @ My Library update
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

While the government is shut-down, the Library of Michigan is still circulating the NASA @ My Library<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9264,7-381-88855_89743_89748--…> kits thanks to support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. (Unfortunately, it does mean a delay for CSLP's special National Summer Reading Champion announcement...) Due to very popular demand, the current kits at LM are all checked out through November, so we are in the process of duplicating more for circulation. But please don't let that stop you from participating! You might have the supplies on hand for a number of the activities, or decide to seek funding<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_89739---,00.h…> to duplicate the kits for your own library. NASA & Space Science Institute have given us permission to share the notebooks directly with public libraries in Michigan: Manual for Kit 1: Sun-Earth-Moon Connections - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oHcmyd3Do0j_at5vxWMfPDx1iaSg1fDr Manual for Kit 2: Be A NASA Detective - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y49WJ4d_FIKI7cl_qwsf7f7Ria58WWXJ Additional Space STEM activities can be found on StarNet's site - http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/ Please remember to complete the following surveys if you are presenting any of the NASA @ My Library programming. Honoring these surveys helps Space Science Institute continue to grow their partnership with public libraries and secure funding for new NASA @ My Library programming. Survey for Kit 1: https://go.edc.org/Kit1Survey Survey for Kit 2: https://go.edc.org/Kit2Survey Save the date! Wednesday, February 20th at 2:30pm NASA and Space Science Institute will be presenting a webinar featuring NASA's Night Sky Network and their Solar System Ambassadors. Details coming soon! What is NASA @ My Library - Public and state libraries are working to increase and enhance STEM learning opportunities for millions of library patrons nationwide, particularly those underserved in STEM education. The project helps participating libraries engage public audiences in informal, lifelong learning experiences. NASA@ My Library team members include fourteen State Library Agencies, the American Library Association, the Space Science Institute's National Center for Interactive Learning, the Pacific Science Center, Cornerstones of Science, and the Education Development Center.
