What's new in YA texts workshop - with ELA teachers and librarians
by Klaudia Janek 26 Nov '19

26 Nov '19

I'm working with the 6-12 Literacy Consultants at Oakland Schools to put on this workshop. It is supposed to be for all book lovers...but will also give school & public librarians a chance to collaborate with ELA teachers who might not have any experience with working with a school or public librarian. We will discuss the 6-12 literacy standards and some common core connections that is usually not the focus in library workshops. There will be teachers who do not have a chance to go to national conferences and have no experience with publishers...so "new" will include 2019...but also a few years older. https://www.smore.com/x9pnj-oakland-schools-presents Email me if you have any questions.

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. Central Arkansas Library System Helps Young People with Food While School’s Out By Kay Kay DeRossette, Project Coordinator, Be Mighty Little Rock [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/e53c45cf-98a…] Over the past year, Be Mighty Little Rock created an unprecedented partnership of organizations across the City of Little Rock to help kids, teens, and their families. The Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) administered the program, and with the help of crucial partners, Be Mighty connected kids and teens with nutritious meals throughout the summer months. Be Mighty meal sites serve young people all year round, but summer months are a special high-risk time for food insecurity. Kids who ordinarily get much of their nutrition through school meals during the school year may face challenges during the summer that leave them hungry. In 2019, summer meals were served at sixteen schools, eleven libraries, five community centers, several Boys and Girls Clubs, and one park. To get the project started while school was still in session, CALS worked with the Little Rock School District to send an informational text about free summer meals to all parents of district students. In addition, Central Arkansas Water placed an insert featuring summer meal information in water bills sent to 90,000 households. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/3841df6b-ceb…] Because transportation challenges can prevent many young people from reaching meal sites, CALS received a grant from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) to provide kids and teens free transportation during summer months. The grant supported a partnership between CALS and Rock Region METRO to distribute free bus passes to Summer Reading Club participants. Those bus passes enabled many families to travel to the meal sites where food was being served. To hear from the families about their positive experiences, see this video from NRPA. CALS has been serving summer meals for several years now, but in 2019, the Be Mighty campaign connected the meals with Summer Reading Club for the first time. Be Mighty hosted activities during the annual summer reading kickoff event known as CALS Kidstock. At the event, elected officials helped families prepare healthy snacks like trail mix and smoothies, while a photo booth with fruit and vegetable cut-outs made for a funny and popular attraction. And throughout the project months, CALS staff partnered with meal sites to deliver 24 hours of NRPA’s Commit to Health nutrition literacy curriculum to kids. To conclude the summer project, Be Mighty partnered with Little Rock Parks and Recreation to host an end-of-summer celebration at War Memorial Splash Pad. The event featured a cookout, sprinklers, the Little Rock Fire Department, and team sports, games, and dances. It was the perfect way to end an epic summer for the Be Mighty kids. To read the entire article: https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/be_mighty_little_rock.…<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Bilingual English & American Sign Language Storytime: Creating a Model Maranda Schoppert, Children's Librarian, Germantown Library, MD More and more children’s librarians are incorporating American Sign Language into their storytimes. Sign language can be a great early literacy tool because it helps babies express themselves before they can use spoken words. Because of this, I wanted to create a bilingual storytime model that would be accessible for both hearing and deaf families, creating an inclusive community event. First and foremost, it takes two to make this program work—a children’s librarian with a passion for ASL and a native ASL storyteller who is Deaf. The children’s librarian provides his/her knowledge and best practices of children programming, while an ASL storyteller contributes the bilingual/cultural/deaf awareness aspect for the program. By collaborating together, the pair can present an integrative storytime that meets the needs of all who may benefit. The trick is to use rhymes, songs and stories that will be familiar to your patrons, but will also lend itself more easily to introducing signs. Having a common thread in the theme that lends itself to sign repetition (i.e. farm animals or colors) is very important. Pick stories and rhymes that will encourage the audience to use the same signs again and again. Introduce key signs before every story, song, or rhyme. When selecting books to read, we’ve found that stories that include a dialogue going back and forth work best. “Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See” or “I Went Walking” are prime examples of picture books that can be read/signed as a conversation between the storyteller and the librarian. In both of these books, the librarian doesn’t have to learn to sign the whole book. Instead they learn a single phrase, which is repeated throughout the story. For example, in “Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?” the audience can join in by signing along with the librarian. The audience and librarian can ask the performer, “What did you see?” The ASL Storyteller will then respond by giving the sign for the animal, color, or object. Another strategy is to pick a fun song like “The More We Get Together” as an anchor for every bilingual storytime. We’ve found that bookending our storytimes with the same rhyme, gives the audience something familiar at the start and end of each storytime. Repeat the rhyme—starting out slow and get faster and faster each time to make it fun, while still reinforcing the signs. A dress rehearsal an hour before the performance is extremely important especially when using an ASL interpreter. During the rehearsal, the librarian, storyteller and interpreter will work on the timing, tune alignment and choreography to the songs to ensure that they each are in sync with one another. This can be achieved through cues from the interpreter and eye contact between the storyteller and the performer. Make sure there is always signing on stage. If the librarian is speaking without signing, either the storyteller will mimic or integrate the verbal delivery via ASL or the interpreter can come up on stage. Integrating these bilingual storytimes into your regular programming can be challenging and working this through, we’ve found that incorporating this program into an already established storytime slot, works best. Promote it ahead of time, so that your patrons won’t be taken unawares. Ultimately, these storytimes should be fun and engaging. You want to give the crowd something familiar while seamlessly integrating American Sign Language into your rhymes, stories and songs. The more you get into it, the more they will get into it too! Full STEAM Ahead with STAR Net: Sky Heroes: An Activity Reinventing the Constellations<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fclearingho…> In this hands-on STEAM activity, patrons celebrate their heroes (fictional and nonfictional) by creating connect-the-dot star patterns to represent them. By using the printable “Sky Heroes” Star Charts<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww-tc.pb…>, patrons can go out and find their new constellations in the night sky! This is a great summer 2020 activity – it helps patrons learn about constellations and it gets their own creative juices flowing by allowing them to create a story. Try pairing this activity with a story-time about constellations; suggested books can be found on the STEM Activity Clearinghouse.

Moving companies besides LDA?
by Kay Schwartz 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hi, all, We will be moving to temporary quarters next spring while our renovation is under construction. I would like to get proposals from several library moving companies. We, of course, will entertain a proposal from Library Design Associates, but I'd appreciate any other recommendations for vendors you've used or are familiar with. Since this is perhaps not of general interest, maybe best to reply to me off list. Thanks! kschwartz(a)fpl.info<mailto:kschwartz@fpl.info> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kay Schwartz Flint Public Library Work 810.249.2038 Cell 810.275.4642
