Banjo and fiddle player Aaron Jonah Lewis
by Matt Church 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Hi all, We recently had Aaron Jonah Lewis perform at the library. He's an incredibly talented banjo and fiddle player. He drew a crowd of 65 people which was a BIG crowd for us. I asked him if I could share his contact information with area libraries and his agent provided the below information. Cheers, Matt Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library 3155 Coolidge Hwy. Berkley, MI 48072 248-658-3449 mchurch(a)berkleymich.net www.berkley.lib.mi.us --------- Hello. I represent Detroit-based banjo player and fiddler Aaron Jonah Lewis, who is available for concerts and workshops in the year ahead. A performance by Aaron ranges far and wide through the history of American fiddle and banjo traditions, including tunes and songs from various regions and time periods and the stories that go along with them. In addition to performances (that include information about the history of the music he's presenting), banjo and/or fiddle workshops would also be a possibility. Aaron has recently presented at the Berkley, MI and Hamtramck, MI Libraries, and last June Aaron did a workshop at the Kennedy Library in Muncie, IN. Aaron has enjoyed his work in libraries very much. Aaron recently released a recording of classic banjo tunes (see attached one sheet). See below for additional info about Aaron. Performance Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZIFB2XW7PwL Webpage: www.aaronjonahlewis.com Please contact me if you are interested in hiring Aaron Jonah Lewis, or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Kris Stableford The Stableford Agency thestablefordagency(a)gmail.com

Time to sign-up to be a summer food site!
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Many libraries around the country already participate in the Summer Food Services Program (SFSP)<https://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-66254_34491---,00.html>, a USDA-funded program that provides free meals and snacks to children ages 0-18 in communities with high levels of need. Libraries and SFSP are a great fit! Libraries are free and open to all, welcome children and teens, offer enrichment programming, and in many cases have a community meeting room or other interior space where food may be served. For these and other reasons, libraries are very attractive to SFSP sponsors and state administrative agencies. And, SFSP is good for the library too. Besides the obvious benefits of addressing hunger and supporting vulnerable youth, participation benefits libraries through: * Access to new user groups, especially underserved and marginalized populations; * Increased visibility of the library as a community asset; * Opportunities for new partnerships; * Positioning of the library as an important stakeholder in community well-being and positive child outcomes; * Support for summer library programming through increased attendance. Please check out the Collaborative Summer Library Program's (CSLP) Libraries and Summer Food<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> guide. This how-to guide, created by the Child and Community Well-Being Committee, provides a step-by-step for libraries interested in becoming SFSP sites, or otherwise getting involved in addressing child food insecurity during the summer. It shows how to find out if a library is in an SFSP-eligible area, how to take the first steps toward becoming a site, and what to do if a library is not in an eligible area but still wants to help. It also includes lots of advice, tips, and resources for having a successful summer as a feeding site. Here is the direct link: https://www.cslpreads.org/libraries-and-summer-food/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Libraries and Summer Food can be shared with public libraries as a standalone, or as a supplement to your state-specific resources. Thank you for your help in addressing child hunger. In Michigan, you can find out how to apply to be a site at: https://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-66254_34491_96106-511785--,00.html. ~ This message is from the CSLP Child & Community Well-Being Committee Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
