Ganong Cemetery Historic Preservation
by Aubrey Franklin 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

This past Saturday, the Westland Public Library welcomed Dr. Thomas Henthorn and students from the University of Michigan-Flint Department of History for a historic preservation program at the Butler-Ganong Cemetery in Westland, a small but interesting site comprising of about 350 interments and dates back to 1832. Dr. Henthorn and his students taught us about the proper care, cleaning, and repair of historic grave monuments. During the 3.5 hour program, we were able to clean several headstones on the site, as well as use an aluminum crane to lift and reset a headstone into its upright position. This program was made possible by the Wyatt Endowment at the University of Michigan-Flint. We worked with the Westland Historic Commission to host the program and provide further context into the site’s history. Participants gained the resources and skills to clean historic monuments on their own. If your community is interested in this project, please reach out to Dr. Thomas Henthorn at henthorn(a)umich.edu<mailto:henthorn@umich.edu>.

Dear Library Directors, What software program do you recommend in your computer lab for patron sign in with their library card? We have not used this in the past, but we feel it would be better security.I appreciate your suggestions. Do you use guest sign in for patrons without library cards?

Youth & Teen Services Updates
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Resources Impact Libraries Computational Thinking (CT) is essential for youth to thrive in our technology-rich world. CT is the ability to use computational strategies, concepts, and devices to solve problems and create and design features, tools, and technologies. CT is being extensively taught and practiced in youth public library programs. The IMPACT Libraries project team at the University of Maryland designed assessment tools to assess CT learning outcomes that will assist library staff to reflect, improve, and showcase the impact of their programs. These assessment tools are suitable for assessing CT programs offered to youth between the ages of 11 to 18 years old. Through interviews with library staff across the United States, we identified seven CT learning outcomes that can be achieved through library CT programs: positive experiences, confidence, dispositions, skills, conceptual learning, access and equity, and future learning/career preparation. To learn more about the computational thinking outcomes you can assess, the assessment tools, and best practices and examples from library staff who used the tools, please visit our webinar page<https://impact.ischool.umd.edu/webinars-2/> to view the recordings. Below are the details of what was covered in each webinar: 1. Assessment tools to collect direct data from youth - Build-Your-Own Interview Protocol and the Talkback Boards. 2. Assessment tools to collect observational data - Design Challenge, the CT Conceptual Learning Rubric, and the Dispositions Checklist. 3. Assessment tools to collect data from youth and facilitators - CT Confidence Survey and the Facilitator Self-Assessment. In addition to the webinars, we invite you to browse our website<https://impact.ischool.umd.edu/>, where you will find additional resources such as case studies and our publications. If you have any questions, please contact us at impact(a)umd.edu<mailto:impact@umd.edu> - Dr. Mega Subramaniam, Dr. David Weintrop, and Nitzan Koren Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy CLEL is seeking presenters for the 2023 Virtual Conference<https://www.clel.org/professional-development/conference/>, scheduled for September 21 & 22, 11:00 am - 4:30 pm.
