REMINDER: SUMMER READING SURVEY NOW OPEN!
by Williams, Barbara (MDE) 30 Jul '25

30 Jul '25

[cid:image001.jpg@01DC0154.15F1C8C0] The Collaborative Summer Library Program's (CSLP) annual survey is now open and will close Friday, September 12, 2025. CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! All public libraries in Michigan are CSLP members thanks to the Library of Michigan with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/9ohxTu3YyMcAgB7v6 If you would like to view the survey in PDF form before completing it, you can find that here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ata27kFA_Npyy-kKaSNX8KMQx9wmLb35/view?usp=…. FAQs Who should complete this survey? The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2025 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work, e.g. children, teen, or adult programs. * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system. * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.) * EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "COLOR OUR WORLD" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey! Is this survey required? No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program. I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide? * General feedback on using (or not) the 2025 program theme and materials; * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults. You may skip some questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey. When does the survey close? The survey is open from now until Friday, September 12, 2025. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for sharing your input!

A Program with Executive Chef Mary Brady
by Julie Farkas 29 Jul '25

29 Jul '25

Hello Library Land- Novi has had the pleasure of hosting Mary Brady, Culinary GOD, on many occasions over the years with having her amazing restaurant in our community for many years. She has now written a beautiful book, packed with awesome recipes. Mary gives a fabulous presentation which incorporates exquisite tastes. This program is a MUST for your calendar :) Photo of Book: [image: image.png] Here is additional information and how to contact her for an opportunity to speak at your library: Award winning and culinary renowned Mary Brady, Certified Executive Chef, has many accomplishments to her credit, most notably the long time ownership of over three decades, of Diamond Jim Brady’s Bistro-Bar in Novi, along with her late husband, Tom Brady. The original *Jim Brady’s **Detroit *opened in 1954 by Tom’s father, Jim. Mary expressed, “As a chef, I am most proud of earning my Certified Executive Chef designation by the American Culinary Federation (ACF). This became career changing for me. At the time, I was only the second female in the state of Michigan to achieve this, and one of a few dozen world-wide. An incredible accomplishment for me. Mentoring other women has been a priority through the years.” She added, “American chef Julia Child, whom I had the pleasure of meeting, was an inspiration from the beginning. She taught French cooking in an approachable style for the skilled, and home chefs, alike.” Mary has been a formidable figure in the Detroit restaurant scene and a staunch advocate of Michigan’s hospitality industry. In the fall of 2022, she sold the Novi Bistro to explore further culinary endeavors and begin new life adventures, including the authoring of her first cookbook, “Looking Back Cooking Forward.” It is a source of pride that the cookbook is entirely Made in Michigan. It’s loaded with easily prepared recipes – each accompanied by a beautiful color photo of every recipe and a story. All of the book’s photography was shot in Mary’s kitchen and grounds, and the book was printed in Michigan. Thus far, books are being sold through chefmarybrady.com and at Mary’s personal appearances and cooking classes. PROPOSED LIBRARY EVENT: Mary Brady, will happily make herself available for upcoming events at libraries throughout Michigan. Topics, and seasonal recipes may be prepared for taste testing. The Q and A session will follow, along with a brief meet and greet, and book signing of Looking Back Cooking Forward. PROPOSED FEE: Mary Brady proposes a $300 compensation fee for a 60 minute presentation, (plus 30 minutes for set-up,) to include a cooking demonstration. This fee includes travel to the chosen location, topic planning and prep, food shopping, and cooking/baking time. **Any monies spent on food expenses for the predetermined desired group amount will be billed to the individual library contact upon the event's completion. BOOKING: For questions, or to schedule a library event with Mary Brady, please contact: Kristin Schenden, publicist, at 248-895-5638, or KristinMichigan(a)gmail.com. "I am emailing at a time convenient to me, please do not feel obligated to reply to this email outside of your normal working hours."
