by Meagan Brown 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hi there! Cromaine has a great free zoom event coming up we'd love to share with you and anyone you think may be interested. On August 18, we will be hosting Professor (and author) Dan Clark as he talks about a fascinating period in Detroit's history - the 1950s. Read the description and click below to register. *"Most people think of the 1950s as a Golden Age for Detroit autoworkers, with steady jobs, increasing wages, and improved benefits propelling them into the middle class. Author Dan Clark's research demonstrates that this was not the case, that the '50s was a decade of job insecurity and economic instability for most Detroit autoworkers."* Click *here* <https://cromaine.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=17803&backTo=Cale…> to register!

Youth & Teen Services Updates
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

First up, a quick note to say CONGRATULATIONS on all your work (yes, I'm talking to you) this summer to pull off summer library programming, no matter what shape or what kind of reimagining it took! I have seen and heard so many wonderful success stories. As you wrap up your summer programs and start to gear up for Fall, take a moment to reflect on how far you have come this past year (and a half). I am so proud of how much libraries across Michigan have adapted, and how much care has gone into your work for all in your communities. Thank you for all you do! #MiLibraries Collaborative Summer Library Program's Annual Survey REMINDER: Please complete this summer library program survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBq6Yof5mW1gGzDeHroUQ7h09MRZ94kEW…> from the Collaborative Summer Library Program - even if you didn't use "Tails and Tales" this year! CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! (Did you know? All Michigan public libraries are members of CSLP, even if your library opts not to use the slogan/artwork/manual, because LM covers your membership fees on a statewide level using IMLS/LSTA funds.) The survey can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBq6Yof5mW1gGzDeHroUQ7h09MRZ94kEW… Resources IMLS accepting grant proposals The Institute of Museum and Library Services<http://imls.gov/> is now accepting proposals for the 2022 National Leadership Grants for Libraries<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…> and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…>. The National Leadership Grants for Libraries program supports "projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice in these professions to strengthen library and archival services for the American public." The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program supports "the development of a diverse workforce of librarians and archivists to better meet the information needs of communities being served. Program goals include recruiting, training, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce of library and archives professionals; developing faculty, library, and archives leaders by increasing the institutional capacity of libraries, archives, and of graduate programs related to library and information science; and enhancing the training and professional development of the library and archival workforce to meet the needs of their communities." The deadline for the preliminary proposals is September 24, 2021. A free on-demand informational webinar will be available on the IMLS website<https://www.imls.gov/webinars-archive>.

Creating an internal culture founded on principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion is essential to building a community-centered library that meets the needs and expectations of its users. In this course, you will learn about the concrete actions library leaders are taking to make their libraries antiracist today and in the future, and the tools that make it possible. Practical coursework, along with targeted support, will take you from theory to application, helping you to transform your library services to better meet the needs of all your patrons-and attract new ones. You'll complete assignments to build your own equity-based initiative over 3+ weeks in an interactive online classroom environment with personal coaching from an expert in the field. In addition, you'll have access to our foundational bonus content-rich supporting materials you can explore at your own pace, including a series of webinars from Library Journal and School Library Journal contributors, readings, activities, and videos.

The Project READY curriculum aims to do the following: * introduce youth services library staff to research in areas such as race and racism, critical theory, and culturally responsive or sustaining pedagogy. * establish a shared understanding of foundational concepts and issues related to race, racism, and racial equity. * encourage self-reflection related to race and racial identity for both white and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) library staff in public and school libraries. * amplify the work of practitioners and scholars who are providing inclusive and culturally responsive services for youth of color and Indigenous youth. * provide concrete strategies for creating and/or improving library programs and services for Black youth, Indigenous youth, and children and teens of color.

Museums and Libraries Join Forces to Boost Vaccine Confidence
by White, Shannon (MDE) 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

"Communities for Immunity" launches at a critical moment for the United States. [https://files.constantcontact.com/546fe8b1501/b25c3c0f-6ea3-4bc1-ba52-4d47e…]<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…> Museums and Libraries Join Forces to Boost Vaccine Confidence IMLS, CDC, Key Library and Museum Organizations Launch “Communities for Immunity” [https://files.constantcontact.com/546fe8b1501/8d0e93b4-2f57-4d4c-8f64-b6df9…] WASHINGTON, DC—The Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the American Library Association (ALA), and the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) today announced the launch of Communities for Immunity<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…>, an unprecedented partnership to boost COVID-19 vaccine confidence in communities across the United States. This important project launches at a critical moment as the United States is experiencing both a surge in COVID-19 cases related to dangerous new coronavirus variants and an urgent need to dramatically increase vaccination rates. “Throughout the pandemic, our nation’s museums and libraries have supported their communities with critical educational and social services,” said Laura Lott, President and CEO of the American Alliance of Museums. “As community pillars and trusted messengers, they are well-positioned to help build trust in and overcome hesitation to the COVID-19 vaccines.” “IMLS is honored to join with the CDC and partners ASTC, AAM, ALA, and NNLM on this national program,” said IMLS Director Crosby Kemper. “Good information and support at the local level through Communities for Immunity and the ongoing engagement of museums and libraries will strengthen our continued fight against the pandemic.” “As we continue to see the Delta variant spread across the country, we must come together to fight health misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine — the best tool we have to defeat this virus,” said Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General. “Museums and libraries are the vaults that hold our knowledge and history. They educate us on the discoveries and blunders of our past. That’s the foundation upon which Communities for Immunity will equip the American people with accurate, reliable, science-based information. This partnership comes at a crucial time. We need more trusted messengers who let science lead, as they help Americans make informed health decisions for our families.” “Access to information about vaccines and trusted messengers to effectively convey it locally is a matter of life and death. America’s 117,000 libraries provide both, serving communities at greatest risk of contracting the coronavirus and those most hesitant to receive the vaccine,” said Patty Wong, President of the American Library Association. “The American Library Association is proud to join the Communities for Immunity initiative to offer resources and funding to supercharge the capacity of our nation’s second responders.” “There is a long history of partnering with museums, libraries, and science and technology organizations to promote health education in the U.S.,” said Judy M. Gantt, CDC Museum Director. “Through the Communities for Immunity partnership, museums and libraries are supporting CDC’s mission to prevent disease, injuries, and disability from COVID-19, while delivering fact-based information on the science of COVID-19 and helping build confidence in the vaccine.” With support from the CDC and IMLS, ASTC will lead Communities for Immunity, which will provide funding to museums, libraries, science centers, and other cultural institutions to enhance vaccine confidence where it matters most: at the local level. Building on the many ways they have supported their communities during the pandemic, the partnership will activate museums and libraries to create and deliver evidence-driven materials and develop resources, programs, and approaches specifically designed to help museums and libraries engage diverse audiences in building trust in the COVID-19 vaccine. This includes working in partnership with ASTC-member experts on science and community engagement. Museums and libraries will leverage resources and research available on vaccines and variants disseminated by IMLS’s research partnership with OCLC and Battelle, the Reopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums (REALM) project. “Museums and libraries are defined by their commitment to serving their communities, and we are honored to support them in doing what they do best: engaging their communities in locally-resonant learning and action to tackle big challenges,” said Christofer Nelson, President and CEO of ASTC. “As an association committed to increasing understanding of—and engagement with—science and technology among all people, we know that now is the time to lean into helping our communities through the science-focused challenge of COVID-19.” Additional organizations joining in the effort include the Association of African American Museums (AAAM), the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL), the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATALM), and the Urban Libraries Council (ULC). This national coalition of partners are creating a Community of Practice to develop and refine vaccine education resources that will be shared with the broader museum and library community. Communities for Immunity builds on a number of earlier and ongoing efforts to activate engagement in vaccine confidence work, including REopening Archives, Libraries and Museums <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…> (REALM)<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…>, a research partnership between OCLC, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and Battelle; Vaccines & US<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…>, led by the Smithsonian and in collaboration with a range of partner organizations and individuals; V<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…>accinate with Confidence<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…> from the CDC; We Can Do This<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…> from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and the It’s Up to You<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.n…> campaign led by the Ad Council and COVID Collaborative.
