Highlighted Content on WebJunction * Customer Service in Libraries: Meeting Evolving Needs<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…>: Customer service is one of the most consistently popular topics on WebJunction. From attendees at live webinars to users of the content in our Course Catalog, it is clear that customer service is on the minds of library staff. The interest extends beyond how to provide quality service to patrons, to experiencing societal changes and seeking to address new challenges that staff encounter when working. How we provide customer service includes not only how we interact with patrons verbally and respond to their requests, but also how we communicate non-verbally in our interactions, and even how we speak about patrons. Learn more about this topic and our collaboration with the Delaware Division of Libraries to explore the theme in the coming months. * Summer Reading Champion Videos<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…>: The STAR Net team, in partnership with the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), are working together to share science and technology related activities and resources to libraries across the nation as part of CSLP’s 2019 summer learning program called “The Universe of Stories.” Free WebJunction Webinars for You Upcoming webinars are open for registration.

Recommending Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words
by MA Carson City Public Library 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hello all of you in Michigan Library Land, back in May, we hosted Larry Martin at the Carson City Public Library. Larry presented two programs on WWII. Using memorabilia and many photographs Larry recounted personal stories of the over 100 WWII veterans he has interviewed, and also stories of civilians who suffered and persevered during the war. We also watched his video interview with Fred Bahlau, of the 101st Airborne, who landed at Normandy and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Our audiences were greatly appreciative of these programs. Larry Martin is a treasure trove of WWII knowledge and an engaging speaker. I highly recommend his programs. Thank you, Beth O'Grady Carson City Public Library
