Libraries and SFSP are a great fit! Libraries are free and open to all. Libraries are accessible. Children and teens are always welcome. The library is a stigma-free community center where community members traditionally get things for free. Libraries also gain a lot from participating as SFSP sites. They directly support vulnerable community members and directly address food insecurity. They attract new user groups and increase their visibility and importance as a stakeholder in community well-being. Summer meals will look quite different this year as USDA has made temporary changes so that meals may be taken home, and parents or guardians may pick up meals for their children if the state allows. Join Penny Weaver and Maged Hanafi from the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service to learn the basics of SFSP, what will be different in 2020, and how your library can support child and community well-being by being a new or returning SFSP site, or by supporting other SFSP sites in your community.

MeL Minute: MeL eBooks: An Invaluable Resource for Educators
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 21 May '20

21 May '20

[MeL favicon]In the April 9 MeL Minute, Holly Hibner and Mary Kelly shared some exceptional ideas for working with students to capitalize on the free access Michigan citizens have to the eBooks collections in MeL. They pointed out some great topics that can be researched, and they emphasized the ease and necessity of utilizing Google Drive and Google Classroom with digital books. Social Studies Curriculum To expand on their post, consider the following eBooks as a small sample of texts that can support grade-specific social studies curriculum. These can easily be linked (copy/paste eBook permalink) to any classroom management software or simply dropped into a teacher's Google Classroom for engagement with his or her students. Grades K-2 1 - H2.0.1 Demonstrate chronological thinking by distinguishing among past, present, and future using family or school events. * Measuring Time with a Calendar by Darice Bailer<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> * Timelines, Timelines, Timelines!

League of Women Voters of Michigan Print Voter Guides
by Tera Moon 21 May '20

21 May '20

Hello MichLib - I'm writing on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Michigan, but I'm also a librarian. The League of Women Voters produces a print and online voter guide with nonpartisan information on candidates running for offices from president of the US to local school boards. The League is preparing for the November election and would like your input on distribution of these print guides. Usually, libraries have been prime distribution points for the print voter guides. The League has partnered with RIDES and local League of Women Voters groups to deliver guides to libraries. Because of public health concerns, libraries' role in that distribution is in question this year in light of library closures and an uncertain future. At this point, I'm taking the temperature of the Michigan library land: If your library is open and it is feasible to do so, would you want to receive and distribute printed voter guides this fall? Please reply to me off-list. Again this is just to gauge the feeling of the group so I can report back to the League. Thanks a bunch for your consideration, Tera Moon Assistant Library Director Bloomfield Township Public Library 1099 Lone Pine Road Bloomfield Township, MI 48302 248-258-2542 moontera(a)btpl.org

PPE Training
by Jessica Ishmael 21 May '20

21 May '20

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have a plan for how they will be providing/delivering PPE training to their staff that they would be willing to share? Are you conducting the training yourself or will you arrange for someone to come in (who) - or have you already made arrangements? Is anyone doing PPE training virtually/remotely? Thank you! Best, Jessica Ishmael Director Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W John Beers Rd Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 ext 126
