Call for Poetry
by Betsy Myers 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

There are just 20 days left to enter Poets' Night Out 2023! Do you or do you know someone who lives in, owns property in, or attends school in Alcona, Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Missaukee, Montmorency, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, or Wexford counties AND loves to write poetry? If so, submit entries by the 25th of January either dropped off at the Traverse Area District Library (main library) OR postmarked by that date. There are specific submission instructions for seniors, students and everyone else which can be found at tadl.org/pno. There are even submissions for classrooms--so if you know a teacher who may be interested in submitting class poems--send this info their way. Poets’ Night Out is an annual juried poetry contest and poetry reading event. Winners will have their poems printed in an annual chapbook as well as being asked to read their poems at an evening event on Sunday April 23, 2023 at 7:00pm. This is a fun, relaxed, no pressure event where everyone just loves poetry and wants to celebrate and bask in the ambience of beautiful words. Help spread the word! We want to break submission records this year! Attached is a poster of the event if libraries would like to post. (tyia) -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502 I just finished The Whittiers by Danielle Steel. It was a nice, sweet, all about family read. I also just listened to the latest by Phillip Margolin, Murder at Black Oaks and was pleasantly surprised my favorite narrator Therese Plummer read it! Highly recommend.

Notable Books <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…> UP Notable Book Club:* the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the /UP Notable Book List/. The 25th event is with Sharon M. Kennedy <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…> whose//book /The SideRoad Kids:Tales of Chippewa County/ presents stories of grade-school kids growing up in the rural U.P. of the 1950s. These events are open to all U.P. residents free of charge. *Time*: Jan 12, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85741545578?pwd=VEJFN3JROWVkMnRWTUx3aERwWGVrdz09 *Meeting ID*: 857 4154 5578 *Passcode*: kennedy (lowercase as shown at left) *Portrait of the author Sharon M. Kennedy (Brimley, MI) <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>SHARON M. KENNEDY* resides on the land of her youth near the country town of Brimley in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She’s surrounded by childhood memories and a way of life that is no more. Instead of relying on intricate plots and schemes, her stories are driven by the characters and their interactions with each other, their teachers, and their parents. The authenticity and innocence of the kids will remind adults of days gone by. Ms. Kennedy writes a weekly newspaper column for /The Sault News/ and the /Cheboygan Tribune/. She authored /Life in a Tin Can/, a random collection of previously published columns. Sharon's most recent book, /View from the SideRoad: A Collection of Upper Peninsula Stories/ was just released. Her work also appears in all seven issues of the /U.P. Reader/. Image of the book cover for "The SideRoad Kids: Tales of Chippewa County" <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>"There are many books that detail the history of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. These are often rigorously researched and documented (some may be less so) and they represent an important aspect of the way we understand this strange little corner of the world. /The SideRoad Kids: Tales from Chippewa County/ is not that kind of book. It is a fictional retelling of the life of Sharon M. Kennedy, the stories of the time she spent growing up on the east end of the U.P., and the myriad characters that she grew up with. Each chapter is a story about Yooper life, a mixture of back-country living and 1950’s nostalgia that is reminiscent of Jean Shepherd’s /A Christmas Story/. And Kennedy does indeed include a Christmas story in her book, one that takes the kids on a trip that is a little more like /Gift of the Magi /than they bargain for. The kids in the book, with names like Flint, Candy, and Squeaky, could easily be any of the kids we all grew up with, familiar in their idiosyncrasies, lovable in their innocence. /The SideRoad Kids: Tales from Chippewa County/ <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…> is a great little slice of the Upper Peninsula. Even though it’s set in the 50’s I can see similarities to the people that I grew up around in the 80’s, so I expect that those would be familiar to anyone from the area. This book is great for readers of all ages, a short story collection that is part non-fiction, part fiction, and all enjoyable. -- Read the complete review <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…> at the /U.P.

Hi Alexis (and all Michlib), We've started using a Michigan-Notable-Books(a)michigan.gov<mailto:Michigan-Notable-Books@michigan.gov> for a lot of our communication related to the Michigan Notable Books program, including getting MNB stickers to libraries. Additionally, you can always email our general reference account Librarian(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:Librarian@Michigan.gov>. Alexis, I'll follow up with you off Michlib to see about getting you stickers. I should alert everyone that the 2023 Michigan Notable Books list will be announced this month. Once the Detroit Free Press announces the list in one of the upcoming Sunday issues this month, we'll have the list available on www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks<http://www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks> along with other content libraries can use for promoting the 2023 selections and program.

Hi All, Would anyone be willing to share their photography release forms with us? We currently do not have one and only have verbiage posted on the walls stating, “Library Events may be photographed and/or videotaped. These images/videos will be used online and in library publicity.” Thank you, Jessica Spangler Hillsdale Community Library, Director 11 E.

We recently received a sales call from a company talking about social media records and FOIA, so I'm wondering if your library received a call too? Since our social media accounts are public, our entire posting history can be accessed by anyone, anytime. As far as I know, no management company is needed. In my opinion, employing basic proactive, protective measures concerning legal issues is the most important thing to consider. For example, use photography release forms if you post photos of people, include "alt text" on all photos, etc. Thanks, Kiki Greve Addison Twp Public Library Social Media Coordinator & Clerk On Thu, Dec 22, 2022 at 12:16 PM Bobbi Schoon via Michlib-l <michlib-l(a)mcls.org<mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org>> wrote: Our board asked to get feedback from other libraries about how they handle social media records for FOIA purposes.

I hope you are doing well. Would you like to actively contribute to increasing diversity and inclusion in libraries? The BIPOC Become Librarians project provides that opportunity. Funded by the Laura Bush 21st Century Library Program from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), this project introduces undergraduate students who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) to careers in library and information science by having them meet one-on-one with mentors working in the field. Our library, San José State University’s School of Information, and the San José Public Library have collaborated to establish this project. We are looking for librarians/library professionals like you who are interested in mentoring BIPOC undergraduate students as they explore the field of LIS. Interactions will be via Zoom or in a hybrid format. The mentorship program will begin in August 2023 and conclude in June 2024. The expected time commitment is 2-3 hours per month. There will also be a training session in early- to mid-February 2023 led by Dr. Jerome Offord, Associate University Librarian for Antiracism at Harvard University. You will find the Mentor Interest Form on our website: https://library.sjsu.edu/bbl We appreciate your consideration in getting involved in our project and completing the form by January 15, 2023. We also welcome you sharing this opportunity with other colleagues who may be interested too! Please contact me if you have questions/comments.
