Need recommendations for Santas
by Adkins, Melissa 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hi All, I am hoping to do a program in December which requires somebody to play Santa. Has anybody worked with a really great Santa that they can recommend? I'm hoping for somebody who would be willing to volunteer but reliable gig workers with reasonable prices would also be welcome. Thanks in advance!

With Jim Gill - LIVE<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…> Thursday, October 7, 2021 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET Music Play to promote readiness, literacy, math development, and inclusion. This lively session incorporates Jim Gill's<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jimgi…> most recent songs as well as in-depth discussion connecting music play with school readiness, literacy development and early math development. Librarians will leave the session inspired to share a new repertoire of songs and playful literacy activities with the children they care for. Even more, they will leave the session understanding that what is most challenging about working in early childhood is also what makes the profession so exciting. When we define our teaching as helping children learn, we not only provide joyous challenges for the children. We also keep ourselves engaged and rejuvenated by watching their excitement as they learn. This workshop will connect with the 5 practices of Ready to Read Michigan. Jim Gill is a musician and author with unique credentials among children's artists. Jim is a child development specialist, having completed his graduate studies in child development at the Erikson Institute of Chicago with a special emphasis on the study of play. For this reason, each of Jim's recordings and books is created as an opportunity for playful interactions between a child and a caring adult. In addition to his studies, Jim's 20 years of experience creating and leading play groups for families with children with special needs has informed his work. Jim led weekly music play programs at numerous therapeutic and family support agencies in the Chicago area. His unique writing style-combining word play and movement opportunities into songs-was inspired by this work. Just as important, his strategies to promote family involvement in his concerts were developed through these weekly sessions. Jim has released seven award-winning CDs of music play for young children that are favorites in family rooms, classrooms and playrooms. He is also the author of two children's books. His latest, A Soup Opera, is a sing-along opera inspired by concerts that Jim performs with symphony orchestras. The book received an American Library Association award in 2010. Jim has received five separate awards from the American Library Association for his recordings and books over the years. Jim speaks to early childhood educators, care providers and children's librarians across the country about the many benefits of play in young children's lives. Jim has shared his expertise on music, play and literacy with organizations such as Head Start, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the National Association for Family Child Care and, most recently, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.

.lib.mi.us Domain Change
by Tamara Denby 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hello to my esteemed colleagues! I am reaching out to you in the hope that someone on this listserve will be able to help me solve an ongoing problem for our library. It's regarding our domain, which ends in the following: lib.mi.us. The full domain is clinton.lib.mi.us I have tried contacting the Library of Michigan and the administrators of Ploud (our previous website platform) to no avail. I have also used several registrar search tools to attempt to locate who manages the domains, also unsuccessfully. A U.S. Whois search produces no results. Same with ICANN. I don't know what to try next. Any suggestions? I am attempting to get the domain pointed to our current website. A google search still ranks our old website high on search results, which causes a lot of confusion. I would appreciate any and all insight anyone can provide! Many thanks, -- Tamara Denby Clinton Township Public Library - Lenawee A Universe of discoveries at your fingertips
