However, what if someone at your library excels at wheel creation? Wouldn't it be great if there was a platform where they could share their work for the benefit of all member libraries? [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/0f503413-0c5…] Enter the "Online Only Materials" in the Online Manual In the Fall of 2019 CSLP changed its Rules of Use<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> so that member libraries can use the artwork and slogans on any paper product. This includes bookmarks, flyers, reading log, banners, certificates, etc. If your library leverages this rule change, we encourage you to share your creation with all CSLP libraries. Please send an editable file to luke.kralik(a)cslpreads.org<mailto:luke.kralik@cslpreads.org>, he will add them to the online manual as he receives them. Be sure to check the manual from time to time to see what your colleagues have submitted! So Many Little Astronauts! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/_compresseds/4213ba…] The Ashland Public Library, Ashland, MA, usually hang up nametages for each child who registers for their summer reading program. However, this year they did something different. Librarian Lois McAuliffe reported that this year they purchased a photo printer and downloaded the NASA selfie app. Each child who registered at the library was turned into an astronaut! At the end of the summer the children could take their photo home. Blast Off! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/0127544c-2c6…] Librarian Angela Creamer from the Estancia Public Library, Estancia, NM, sent this wonderful photo of a rocket her library created. The face of the young patron captures the wonder summer reading can bring! NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/_compresseds/f43a4b…] NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott paid a visit to the Braden River Library, Bradenton, FL. Youther Services Librarian Christine Culp was impressed with how generous Nicole was with her time. She stayed at the library and shook hundreds of little hands, and posed for photos. Children were able to ask questions like, "What kind of food do you eat in space?" and "How do you sleep on the Space Station?". A wonderful way to end their summer of space! Spacey Successes in Wyoming! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/c6529c7c-c9f…] Library Manager Linda Naoi Goetz, Lincoln County Library, WY, shared that they had a very successful program this summer. Highlights include: 1. Creating Aurora and Nebula art with YA kids 2. Walking inside a planetarium with Wyoming Stargazing 3. AstroFest! weekend with our own DIY planetarium and DIY constellations, Asteroid MiniGolf in the stacks, and partnering with Fossil Butte National Monument to hear an astronomy lecture and view some really dark skies through telescopes. 4. Meteorite Scavenger Hunt looking for rocks painted with constellations, which collectively made up a phrase about the library. Prizes for finding a rock or solving the word puzzle were real meteorite and tektite fragments. 5. A Universe of Stories bookmark art contest! Did you have a program that was out of this world? Please send your photos and any informative details to Luke Kralik at: luke.kralik(a)cslpreads.org<mailto:luke.kralik@cslpreads.org> I would love to share them in our newsletter. Looking for some ideas to use or share? https://www.pinterest.com/cslpreads/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinte…> Increasingly, public libraries are feeding hungry bodies as well as hungry minds during the summer – and throughout the year. The CSLP’s ad hoc Child and Community Well-Being committee is developing resources to support and encourage library participation in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program and other initiatives to help kids and teens stay nourished, active, and healthy when school is out. These resources include the Libraries and Summer Food<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> page on the CSLP website; a new Facebook group<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.faceb…> for news, support, and resource-sharing; and a series of stories showcasing the experiences of libraries around the country. Summer Meals at the Hemet Public Library by Jennifer McNeal, Hemet Public Library, Hemet CA The Hemet Public Library is a single branch, city-funded library of 86,000, located in Hemet, California. Our local school district reports that 80% of students are on the free and reduced meal plan at school. Library staff posed the question, “If our goal is to prevent summer slide and keep children reading, how can children concentrate on learning when they are hungry?” With so many children facing food insecurity, the library decided to take action to help ensure that children continue to get meals during the summer school break. In 2015, the library approached the local school district to see if we could serve as a summer meals site for the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program, and a partnership was formed. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/56f81ace-5a5…] For the past 5 summers, lunch has been served at the Hemet Public Library on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (the week days that the library is open). The library is fortunate to have an indoor, multi-purpose room where lunch can be served. The school district prepares the meals at their facility and transports them to the library every morning. School district staff serves the food to the children between 11:30 am – 12:30 pm. The library provides refrigerators, storage space for dry foods, as well as tables, chairs, and staff time to cover clean-up after each meal. The school district handles all of the paper work relating to the USDA program. During the 2019 summer, 1,849 meals were served at the Hemet Public Library over 19 days. After serving as a lunch site for several years now, my advice to those looking to start a program at their library is to start early! Working out the logistics with your partners, whether that is the local school district or another community food organization, takes a great deal of time. There are insurance issues, contract logistics, local government approval, etc., that will pop up during the process. Summer lunch at the library has become a central part of the Hemet Public Library’s annual summer reading program. Over the past several summers, library staff noticed a decline in event attendance if the event was more than an hour before or after lunch was served. Consequently, summer reading events now revolve around lunch time, with many activities happening during lunch. The library has many community partners, such as local authors, museum staff, Boy and Girl Scout troops, and the County Public Health Department, who provided free lunch-time activities. Having community partners greatly reduced the strain on library staff to provide summer entertainment. The Friends of the Hemet Public Library and the Hemet Public Library Foundation provided financial support for the library to hire professional entertainers to provide library patrons with fun, unique, and educational activities. Altogether, the Hemet Public Library was able to provide an activity practically every day for lunch attendees. On days when there was going to be a big performance following lunch, such as a magician, the number of lunch attendees doubled. The school district was provided with a copy of the library’s summer events schedule so that they could plan accordingly. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/89130c7a-296…] As part of the summer lunch at the library, the library has an optional survey for lunch attendees to complete. One of the questions included is “Where else do you get lunch?” While most of the responders said they get lunch at home, a few said that they did not get lunch anywhere else besides the library. To know that because our library is a summer meals site, a child did not have to go hungry that day, makes all of the work surrounding the process worth it. Blindness Awareness Month by Outreach Librarian for the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped In October, many blind and low vision individuals celebrate Blindness Awareness Month. This isn’t a celebration with parties or balloons but rather a renewal in the energy in promoting accessibility, fighting stereotypes, and promoting equality. They do this through carefully crafted events like Meet the Blind Month and White Cane Day. Libraries are for everyone, and one way that libraries can promote inclusion is to incorporate events, programs, and materials that are focused on those with visual impairments. Some ideas can include: * Highlight audio description in your DVD and movie collection * Host an accessible movie day by showing a movie with audio description * Invite your local talking book and Braille Library/library for the blind and physically print disabled to host a program at your branch * Invite local groups that work with visually impaired clients on a tactile tour of your library * Create a tactile art workshop that incorporates Braille, large print, and audio functions * Host an accessible technology fair, complete with demonstrations and interactivities * Host a talk that dispels myths about having visual impairments Of course, this list isn’t all-inclusive, but rather just the beginning. As more individuals develop low vision and other visual impairments, libraries become a lifeline. By highlighting their accessibility, libraries engage with a user group that is often under served.

by White, Shannon (MDE) 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Library Patron Access and the Law Online Course Instructor: Mary Minow Dates: November 4th through 29th, 2019 Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs Price: $175 http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/217-access-legal.php Library Patron Access and the Law is a practical course to help identify areas in which librarians can proactively take steps to ensure compliance with legal requirements. Libraries that are open to the public and libraries open only to a more specialized community must both ensure that their patrons have access to information while balancing safety and other needs of the library's community. Join Mary Minow in this 4-week course as she takes you through two topics of particular interest: (1) Patron behavior policies and (2) Access to information by patrons with disabilities. You will address an issue or problem in each area, and work through legal frameworks to see how to minimize risk and maximize access. By the end of the course, you will know how to identify problems in patron behavior policies and learn how to ensure that your library offers due process to aggrieved patrons. You will know the basic legal requirements for access by patrons with disabilities, at the federal level, and how to check your local laws for any additional requirements. You will be given the opportunity to discuss these topics as they apply to your library, and be given resources to continue your learning. Mary Minow is a library law consultant, who has consulted on behavior policies, disability access (legal issues), and related issues. She has an A.M.L.S. from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from Stanford University. She is currently working with Tomas Lipinski on the second edition of the Library's Legal Answer Book (ALA: 2003). Your input may help inform this updated book. This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register for any of our courses through the first week of instruction (as long as the course is not full). The "Register" button on the website goes to our credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing address).

Program Recommendation
by sjackman＠milfordlibrary.info 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hello all, Last night we hosted reporter and author Karen Dybis. She gave a talk on her book The Witch of Delray: Rose Veres & Detroit's Infamous 1930s Murder Mystery. The talk checks off a lot of our community's favorite subjects: Michigan history, true crime and the idea of women behaving badly. I arranged to have this program intentionally near Halloween in light of the book's title. We had great attendance for the program. Miss Dybis was very engaging, balancing the facts of the case with humor and insight. People left the event thanking me for having her. I definitely recommend you host Miss Dybis yourself. If The Witch of Delray doesn't peak your patrons' interest, she's written three other books, all having to do with Michigan history. Her website with details on her other books and a contact form is linked below. https://www.karendybis.com/contact-1 Stephen Jackman Adult Services Librarian Milford Public Library sjackman(a)milfordlibrary.info 248-684-0845 (ext. 306)
