by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 22 May '23

22 May '23

A quick note that TALK<https://texttolearn.com/for-libraries/> bookmarks & posters for your library to display are on their way to your main library via Rides this week! We ask that you please put the bookmarks and posters out for patrons to learn about this early literacy resource, and distribute them to your branch locations, too. All families in Michigan can sign-up to use TALK<https://texttolearn.com/>, whether or not a local library is pushing messaging (although thanks to the #IMLSgrant that is currently a free option for libraries). For the handful of libraries not using MeLCat/Rides, your materials were shipped right to your main library. Special thanks to TLN for helping the Ypsilanti District Library to distribute these materials.

Join our Lectrue/Discussion series
by Thomas Trahey 22 May '23

22 May '23

Good Monday Afternoon, In my experience, planning a lecture series is a lot of work with great reward. We are offering an opportunity to join in the reward without much work. *We* are Robin Seymour and Thomas Trahey of the Mason County District Library (MCDL) and Brooke Portman of the Abondia Center. The opportunity is the Cairns & Beacons (C&B) lecture and discussion series. The series will consist of eight presentations each followed, a week later, by a discussion. The topics are on some of the pressing issues of the day, although not necessarily the ones that grab all the headlines. I’m attaching a document with a more thorough description (the dates may not be accurate). The discussions will kick off with a carefully selected, pertinent work of art that will be a common starting point for the discussion. We are asking you to try this for several reasons. We would like C&B to have a wide and diverse audience. We would like the discussions to involve varied communities with different points of view. We would like to start building a network of libraries willing to work together on providing quality programming. Perhaps in the future, MCDL will be able to join your program in the same way, or perhaps some of us will plan the next series together. We would like to invite your library to be a part of this program, to brand it as your own and offer it to your patrons for as long as you find it worthwhile. If you haven’t done anything like this before, this is an excellent opportunity to be involved and experience what it’s like to run a lecture series without the responsibility or workload of creating and running it. In addition to planning the series, procuring the presenters and writing grants to fund the series, we can offer other assistance to libraries interested in participating. We will be able to help with technology, promotion, related materials, and funding. We are asking for as much of the following as you are willing to give, for as long as you are willing to give it: C&B flyers on display in your library, a small display space in your library for C&B related material (promotional and reading material), some help advertising to your community, and to set up and run a Zoom meeting for each presentation and discussion. Note that you can choose your level of participation and that you don’t have to commit to the full series. If you are at all interested, we are hosting an informational Q&A this Wednesday, May 24th, at 9:30am. Here’s the link: bit.ly/MCDLCairns. If you can’t make that or would like to contact me directly, feel free. Here’s my contact info: Thomas Trahey Head of Circulation at MCDL 231-843-8465 ttrahey(a)mcdlibrary.org -- Thomas Trahey Mason County District Library Head of Circulation 231-843-8465

22 May '23

Director - Minerva Public Library (OH) The Minerva Public Library (OH)<https://www.minervalibrary.info/> Board of Trustees seeks a Library Director who is a creative and innovative thinker ready to lead the library into a new future. The ideal candidate will be a collaborative leader who can bring out the best in a dedicated staff, and effectively represent and promote the library in the community with energy and enthusiasm. In a campus-like setting adjacent to Minerva Elementary School and the YMCA, the 24,000-square-foot building was completely renovated in 2003 and provides ample space for programs and meetings as well as a 98,000-item collection. The library's service area includes portions of three counties with just under 12,000 residents. A staff of thirteen (9.5 FTE) serves 6,800 local cardholders. Ohio's Public Library Fund supplies almost all of the current operating budget of $850,000, and thoughtful planning has built a strong capital projects fund. The Director will have the opportunity to set a new course for the library using strategic and facilities planning to develop new programs and services to meet changing community needs and expectations - all while maintaining strong fiscal practices. The Director will also work to develop new partnerships with local agencies and community groups. The Village of Minerva, with a population of 3,680, lies in a corner of rural Stark County within an easy drive of the cities of Canton, Louisville, and Alliance. A friendly, close-knit community, village residents are proud of the local schools, the revived business district, and the completely renovated historic Roxy Theater.

I come from a long line of book lov-ers (my mom was a librarian!). Summer nights, cuddled up with my mom or grandmothers and a book are some of my most precious memories. I can't wait to encourage other kids to do the same- to dig into the pages of their first chapter book, get lost in a picture book or pick up their first earlier reader and let their imaginations take them away! All Together Now is a beautiful testament to what I hope books can do for us all: connect and encourage acceptance of many different types of people. I'm so happy that Read With Jenna Jr and CSLP are partnering for the summer to encourage kids to check out a book and start reading! I'm honored to be this year's Reading Champion and promise to encourage library visits and beach reading, all summer long! As we read "All Together Now" this summer, I know we can help shape strong, empathetic young readers!!
