New Marketing Materials
by Wambaugh, Stephanie (LEO) 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Good morning, If your library needs any BTBL applications<https://www.michigan.gov/leo/-/media/Project/Websites/leo/Documents/BSBP-BT…>, brochures, or posters to use for outreach in your communities, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. We have recently redesigned both our applications and brochures and would be happy to get the updated content on the way to any library that requests it. Some of our public library partners use these materials during their homebound or bookmobile outreach. Others put the information near their large print or audio book collections within the library. Still others create displays or keep the information at the reference desk. As a brief overview, the Braille and Talking Book Library<https://www.michigan.gov/leo/bureaus-agencies/bureau-of-services-for-blind-…> offers accessible audio and braille books to Michigan residents unable to comfortably read standard print materials due to a visual, physical, or reading disability. Potential patrons apply for service to access over 150,000 books that can be downloaded directly with our free mobile App, BARD<https://www.michigan.gov/leo/-/media/Project/Websites/leo/Images/BSBP-BTBL/…>, or they can request one of our Digital Talking Book Players and books can be delivered directly to them on cartridge through the regular U.S. postal service. Public libraries can help spread the word about our accessible library in many ways. Feel free to reach out if you are unfamiliar with our service and would like more details. Thank you, Stephanie Wambaugh, Librarian 12 Team Lead and Outreach Services Michigan Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL) Bureau of Services for Blind Persons P.O. Box 30007 702 W.

MeL Minute: Celebrate Ice Cream!
by Ann Kaskinen 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

[cid:image004.png@01DAD36B.D003C3C0]When I was a little kid, my dad traveled door to door delivering milk in glass bottles throughout Antrim and Kalkaska Counties. By the time I was 10, he had a few large trucks with commercial refrigeration and distributed a variety of dairy products—including ice cream—into Charlevoix County as well. The most magical thing (for a kid) that resulted from his expanding business? Damaged boxes. We had a freezer dedicated to unsellable boxes of orange sherbet Push-Ups®, ice cream sandwiches, Neapolitan bars, Fudgesicles®, Creamsicles®, and chocolate- and strawberry-swirled sundae cups. Not surprisingly, access to this bounty spearheaded my lifelong love for ice cream. As we enjoy a scoop or two during National Ice Cream Month, consider learning more about one of our favorite nostalgic treats through the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL) eResources<https://mel.org/az.php>. Celebrations Ice cream is so endearing to Americans that the National Day Calendar<https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/> shines a light on 6 different days in July to celebrate the tasty indulgence. This Fresh Peach Ice Cream: Because Who Wants to Cook?<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=ae51a936-9b09-3f2d-964a-5…> recipe from AcreageLife in MasterFILE Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> can get you ready for National Peach Ice Cream Day (July 17).

Rounding out the month, honor National Hot Fudge Sundae Day (July 25) with help from 6 Ways to Sundae<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=27a3ba6b-f74f-3b9c-a042-5…>, an article in Food & Wine from Hobbies & Crafts Source<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>.

WebJunction content and upcoming webinars

WebJunction content and upcoming webinars - July 10, 2024 Highlighted Content Creating a community-led library: Loveland Public Library's u-lab initiative in action<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/creating-community-led-library…> Libraries are increasingly turning to community-led approaches to ensure that their services and resources meet local needs effectively. This process involves actively including community members in decision-making processes, but the path to getting there can look different from library to library. We spoke with Loveland Public Library (Colorado) Director Amy Phillips to learn more about how her library is using a method called u-lab to guide their efforts to better understand community needs and align them with planned outreach efforts. Library guide to civic engagement: Tools and strategies for voter education<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/library-guide-civic-engagement…> Many people already turn to libraries as sources of trusted information ahead of elections, and organizations like the American Libraries Association and the League of Women Voters are hoping to expand those numbers. We’ve curated a selection of resources, tools, and ideas to help inform your library’s approach to this important work. Advancing IDEAs: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, 9 July 2024<https://hangingtogether.org/advancing-ideas-inclusion-diversity-equity-acce…> This is the latest Hanging Together blog post, part of a regular series<https://hangingtogether.org/tag/IDEA/> on issues of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility, compiled by a team of OCLC contributors. WebJunction Webinars These upcoming webinars are open for registration. If you can’t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog<https://learn.webjunction.org/>. Cultural humility in library work Wednesday, July 17, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/cultural-humility-in-library… Cultural humility offers a renewing and transformative framework for navigating interpersonal interactions in libraries, whether between patrons and staff or staff members with one another. But what is cultural humility, and what does it look like in practice? Join the editors of Hopeful visions, practical actions: Cultural humility in library work, (ALA Editions 2023) as they define and explore the concept of cultural humility, its strengths and limitations, and strategies for applying more inclusive practices to library customer service, policies, and collection development. Work It Out @ Your Library with the Wombats! Thursday, August 8, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/work-it-out-wombats.html This webinar will introduce you to Work It Out @ Your Library!<https://www.wgbh.org/foundation/gbh-education/early-learning/work-it-out-yo…> a new program for families in your community, built around Work it Out Wombats!,<https://pbskids.org/wombats> a national PBS KIDS television series for 4- to 6-year-olds. Through hands-on activities, library storytime sessions, animated videos, and a family app, this flexible program helps library staff guide families through the exploration of computational thinking. Computational thinking is a creative way of solving problems in more organized ways. When children make believe they're running a restaurant, they explore sequencing by figuring out the steps for serving a customer a meal. When they play with blocks to make a castle, they can practice the design process by creating, testing, and improving the structure. Library staff are uniquely suited to promote this learning with their library families. The webinar will cover why computational thinking skills are important for young children, how the free resources have been used to run fun and engaging programs in libraries, and how you can, too. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
