What a year 2023 was... I'm sure many of us can say this for numerous reasons, but for the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) it really has been a whirlwind of change and new beginnings. I would like to share my heartfelt thanks to the CSLP Staff, the Board of Directors, and all of our Committee Chairs; for their hard work and diligence guiding us through this past year. We began it without an Executive Director, and with such a small staff that has big impacts. Now we end the year with our new Executive Director, Dawn Krause, and she dove fearlessly into the position, and all that it takes to make the mostly volunteer driven organization that is CSLP work. A huge thanks goes out to Mellissa Hooke, CSLP Office Administrator, for helping guide the organization along so steadfastly. And to Alyssa Graybeal, CSLP Manual Editor, for putting out another fantastic and improved manual, despite all the unknowns. Without these three dedicated employees, the day-to-day of CSLP operations would surely faulter. As for the Board of Directors and Committee Chairs, I almost do not know where to begin. Everyone stepped up to help, from smaller tasks to large ones. We truly would not have made it through this year of change without relying on each other, and that is exactly what makes CSLP unique. CSLP reflects what true librarianship means: working together to provide access to all - CSLP empowers libraries to foster community through inclusive literacy-based programming. And behind the scenes, I find great joy in seeing everyone working together, often going above and beyond, to offer such quality programming and support for libraries. As we ring in the New Year, I am passing the gavel on to President-Elect Donna Throckmorton, and I for one am excited to see what 2024 brings for CSLP. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster, President CSLP Board of Directors [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/2891fd4b-4885-53…] Photo of the 2023 Board of Directors Retreat in New Orleans in March of 2023.

You have made my job so much easier, gone are the days of worrying about reading participation." - Carolyn, Public Librarian "Our young borrowers cannot read their books fast enough to qualify for the next Brag Tag in the series.

by Kristin Fontichiaro 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

May be of interest to library leaders! Free Jan. 22 webinar at 2pm Eastern based on the book *The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before *from Ross School of Business's Center for Positive Organizations.

In no other time in recent history have leaders in every industry and on every continent grappled with so many changes that have independently and simultaneously undermined their ability to lead. Join Erika H. James and Lynn Perry Wooten for a virtual fireside chat with Gretchen Spreitzer where they bring decades of world-renowned research on crisis leadership, diversity and inclusion, management strategy, and positive leadership to the table to help leaders better prepare themselves to lead through crises―and for whatever lies around the corner. They’ll discuss tools and frameworks from their book, *The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before <https://jamesandwooten.com/the-prepared-leader/>*, for addressing and learning from crises so you can navigate through the distinct challenges of today and tomorrow. James and Wooten forcefully argue that the time to prepare is always. ------------------------------ Positive Links Speaker Series Sponsors The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center <http://michiganross.umich.edu/sanger>, Tauber Institute for Global Operations <http://www.tauber.umich.edu/>, and Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Executive Director - Dauphin County Library System (PA) The Dauphin County Library System (PA)<https://www.dcls.org/> Board of Trustees seeks an inspiring leader capable of fostering lasting relationships with key stakeholders to build community and transform lives by connecting people, ideas, and opportunities. The Executive Director will be responsible for providing quality public library service to the residents of Dauphin County through eight locations, a mobile library, a $7.8 million budget, and 132 FTE of staff. The library is a private, nonprofit corporation with 501(c)(3) status and is governed by a 17-member Board of Trustees-five appointed annually by the Dauphin County Commissioners, and 12 elected for three-year terms. Key initiatives include the development and execution of a new strategic plan, discovering new sources of funding and support, and continuing to foster an environment of growth and enthusiasm within the DCLS staff. Home to Pennsylvania's state capital, Harrisburg, more than 286,000 people call Dauphin County home. Bordered to the west by the Susquehanna River, the county offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts with many parks, trails, and conservation areas. With Hershey Gardens and the iconic Hersheypark, residents enjoy indulging in sweet adventures and family fun. Harrisburg also boasts the National Civil War Museum, a vibrant and charming downtown with lively shops and restaurants, and the State Museum of Pennsylvania. For its 2023-2024 Best Places to Live list, US News and World Report placed Harrisburg ahead of all other metro areas in the Commonwealth. In its report, US News lauded Harrisburg for such attributes as affordability, a strong arts scene, easy access to the great outdoors, and proximity to larger cities. The area maintains a small-town feel while being less than a three-hour drive from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York, and New Jersey. Responsibilities: The Executive Director reviews and updates the strategic plan and formulates and implements operational goals within the library system addressing the short- and long-range goals as determined by the Board of Trustees; meets with various community partners/stakeholders, governmental agencies, and elected officials to update and discuss library concerns and objectives; prepares reports in cooperation with the senior management team for presentation to the Board of Trustees and governmental agencies; designs and implements policy decisions relating to all aspects of the library operation; serves as liaison with community organizations and the public to establish positive relationships for mutual benefit of the community and the library system; and oversees the responsibility of key operations: facilities, finance, fund raising, information technology, marketing, personnel, public services through the management of the respective senior management team, as well as overseeing the activities of the Capital Area Library District. A full list of responsibilities and expectations are listed in the job description below. Qualifications: An American Library Association-accredited master of library science degree and five years of public library experience with at least five years of experience in an administrative or executive capacity are required. The ideal candidate will have experience running a multi-branch system, understand the intricacies of city and county government and Pennsylvania state government funding, and the ability to effectively communicate up and down an organizational structure. Compensation: The hiring salary range is $125,000 - $140,000 (with placement negotiable dependent on experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package.

zv667 Bed Bugs Update (Good news!)
by Brandon Richards 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Good afternoon! As many of you are receiving materials from us again, I've received some questions, so I figured I should update everybody so there's no confusion. Last week pest control swept the building with a canine friend trained to sniff them out. The only hit we had was in our external materials return area, which is apparently very common. We didn't find anything live, but the dog is able to detect dead bugs and even their waste. That area was fully treated by pest control as a precaution. No other hits were found in the building. So the incident appears to have been isolated, and we've been given a clean bill of health! Thank you for your patience while we investigated this and a big thank you to the many of you who shared your knowledge! -- Brandon Richards Technology Coordinator/Trainer Houghton Lake Public Library 4431 W Houghton Lake Dr Houghton Lake, MI 48629 989.366.9230
