AI can now do a student's homework better than the student can. Nearly everything being said about this — the detection tools, the policies, the "responsible use" frameworks — is an attempt to protect a system that stopped working the moment fluent output became free. This hour is about what that moment is revealing: that school has been running on a bargain, compliance in exchange for a credential, and that the bargain is now failing on both sides at once. AI isn't breaking education. It's exposing it — and the costs will fall hardest on the students and families who see it last. In sixty minutes: why the report card can no longer see the difference between a student whose thinking is growing and one whose thinking is quietly being replaced; a short exercise that will show you, from your own memory, what real learning has always required; and one question, borrowed from the most deliberate technology adopters in America, that cuts through every AI decision a family or classroom faces. You'll leave with a different view of school, of success, and of what education was for all along — and a one-page card that holds the tools. One caution before you sign up. If what you want is homework help, classroom AI tools, and guardrails against cheating — AI absorbed into the schooling model the way we've absorbed every previous disruptive technology — there are hundreds of resources for that, and this isn't one of them. This is for parents, teachers, and students who suspect AI has changed the game itself and want to discover what it makes possible beneath the surface: real learning, real-life agency, real competence. It's free. Bring someone who's been waiting for this conversation. REGISTER HERE<https://us.list-manage.com/HDjazvbcj_c?e=dadba9a051&c2id=de478a5ee928f7efff…>. The recording will also be available to those who register. [31222092460?profile=RESIZE_710x]<https://us.list-manage.com/nyEw4lacTsb?e=dadba9a051&c2id=de478a5ee928f7efff…> College Student Success with AI A Free Library 2.0 / Learning Revolution Workshop with Steve Hargadon A few years ago I gave a talk at Google. One slide showed the top 10% of students — the ones school worked for, the "good learners." Afterward, a group of Google interns came up to correct me: "We were in that group. But we didn't see ourselves as good learners. We were good at the game." That correction changed how I understand school, and it's where this talk begins. This is not a session on catching cheaters or writing better prompts. It's an honest hour for college students about what school was actually measuring, why AI has suddenly made that arrangement visible — and what's still genuinely theirs: the thinking, the judgment, the confidence in their own minds that the game never gave anyone, including its winners. If you work with college students, or love one, this is the conversation almost nobody is having with them: not the alarmed adult, not the AI cheerleader, but a third thing.

He has run over 100 large-scale events, online and in person. He has hosted over 100 AI events, created the online Encyclopedia of AI<https://us.list-manage.com/co2cmFf1Qvp?e=dadba9a051&c2id=de478a5ee928f7efff…>, and blogs extensively<https://us.list-manage.com/b75ioCbYAVG?e=dadba9a051&c2id=de478a5ee928f7efff…> about AI and its impact on teaching and learning. His library and education work has been around the democratization of learning and professional development. He supported and encouraged the development of thousands of other education-related networks, particularly for professional development, and he pioneered the use of live, virtual, and peer-to-peer education conferences. He popularized the idea of "unconferences" for educators and, for over a decade, ran a large annual ed-tech unconference, now called Hack Education (formerly EduBloggerCon). Steve himself built one of the first modern social networks for teachers in 2007 (Classroom 2.0), developed the "conditions of learning" exercise for local educational conversation and change, and inherited and grew the Library 2.0 online community. He may or may not have invented an early version of the Chromebook, which he demoed to Google. He blogs, speaks, and consults on education, educational technology, and education reform, and his virtual and physical events and online communities have over 150,000 members.

A.R.T. Library Program Highlights books about Painting!
by A.R.T Library Program 31 Aug '26

31 Aug '26

Dear teachers and librarians, Are your readers curious to learn more about modern and contemporary painting? As one of the most popular subjects in our Library Program Catalog, we are happy to offer many unique exhibition catalogs and monographs. Here are a few recommendations to add to your library collections: Arcmanoro Niles: The City Lights Can't Shine Quite like the Stars: Got So Far From My Raising I Forgot Where I Come From <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program/arcmanoro-niles-the-ci…> - In this exhibition catalog, Niles meditates on personal loss through an exploration of landscape, drawing inspiration from the colorwork of both contemporary painters like Kerry James Marshall and Richard Mayhew and Old Masters like Caravaggio. In these new works, rendered in vibrant, technicolor hues that construct a signature kind of chiaroscuro, Niles finds himself immersed in nature—in the trees of a remote field, near the shore of the sea, bathed in crisp light peeking through bare trees on a sunny winter’s day. Jessica Dickinson: Under | Press. | With-This | Hold- | Of-Also | Of/How | Of-More | Of:Know <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program/under-press-with-this-…> - Using painting, drawing, and abstraction as markers of a space outside verbal description, Jessica Dickinson examines the slow exchanges between perception, matter, and psychology that develop in peripheral spaces. Milton Resnick: A Question of Seeing, Paintings 1959-1963 <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program/milton-resnick-a-quest…> - Like younger painters, such as Cy Twombly and Robert Ryman, Resnick worked in, through and beyond the language of NY gestural painting toward an intimate relationship with mark-making, the surface, and the physical matter of paint itself. Ultimately, the materiality of paint became paramount, and Resnick's intent dissolution of form resulted in ever more monochrome, thickly textured surfaces. The transition of Resnick's work from more explicitly Abstract Expressionist modes to the monochrome paintings of his later years was a result of the marked exploration witnessed in this exhibition catalog. Model as Painting <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program/model-as-painting> - Model as Painting is the first in depth publication on Schoolwerth’s practice. The multi-media, figurative, and decidedly representational paintings in this monograph are elaborated through a unique and intensive sequence of creative phases, including digital photography, the making of collages and 3D models based on the collages, internet browsing, software image processing, printing, and finally, painting. Nancy Mitchnick: Uncalibtated <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program/nancy-mitchnick-uncali…> - The eighty-eight page full color catalogue documents the survey of Mitchnick’s work organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. The catalogue serves almost as a small retrospective, documenting a range of Mitchnick’s work over the last thirty years. Including portraits, still life, and landscape painting–this publication is a great example showing how an artist’s work evolves over the course of their life. Louis Stone: The Path to Abstraction, 1928-1945 <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program/louis-stone-the-path-t…> - Louis Stone: The Path to Abstraction, 1928-1945 is the catalog of an eponymous exhibition at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery in 2006. The exhibition includes thirty oil paintings dating from 1928 to 1945, offering a comprehensive overview of the artist’s evolution from a traditional landscape and still-life painter to a bold, avant-garde modernist. To look at the other available titles we offer about painting, please visit our website to log in to your account <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/login> and browse our book catalog <https://www.artresourcestransfer.org/library-program>. As always, books are free and shipped free of charge. Thanks for your participation and happy reading!

Millage verbiage - what we can and cannot put on our website
by BPL Director 29 Aug '26

29 Aug '26

Hello to everyone. I am curious about millage verbiage, specifically about what we can - and cannot - include on our website with the purpose of educating our patrons and community members. I know many of you recently went through this work, and I would greatly appreciate learning from you about how to move forward in the coming weeks. Our ballot proposal is to return our millage to its original point, rather than increasing it any higher. We are in the process of preparing information that can be used by our Friends’ group to create flyers and infographics. Any suggestions and helpful advice would be most appreciated. Thank you. Take care, Terri Hebert BPL Director director(a)bridgmanlibrary.com

Youth & Teen Services Updates

28 Aug '26

Summer Reading Congratulations to you all for making it through another busy summer! I'm excited to read through the results of the CSLP Annual Survey! Please help us get some solid statistics representing Michigan by completing the survey for your library before September 11th. The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/1PTXSYiWMRSvto2p6. Save the Date for Summer Symposium! The Collaborative Summer Library Program's Annual Summer Symposium will be on Thursday, December 3rd - there will be an opportunity to sign-up to attend virtually OR you can join the Library of Michigan for our special watch party, with special bonus hour of in-person STEM training with the team from the Sloan Museum of Discovery/Longway Planetarium. Details on both options coming soon. 2029 Slogan/20230 Theme (yes, we librarians plan ahead!) We are also just month away from the CSLP Annual Meeting and LM's Cathy Lancaster will be voting for the 2029 Slogan (Nature) and 2030 Theme (yay!). Please help inform her vote by selecting your favorite Slogan/Theme: https://forms.gle/6z4bY8usgPbAhD8QA. (You can find past themes/slogans here<https://www.cslpreads.org/themes-and-slogans/>) CSLP Manual Listening Sessions If you've ever wanted to talk with the committee volunteers who design the Collaborative Summer Library Program's annual program manuals, here's your chance! The current members of the manual committees are hosting listening sessions for CLSP member libraries. Because the CO State Library purchases a statewide annual membership each year, if you work in a Colorado library, you work in a CSLP member library. Which means you are invited to attend these sessions. The program manuals are designed to support summer programming for all age groups, little ones through elders. If you are involved in planning and facilitating summer programming for any or all age groups, you have the chance to offer the committee some meaningful feedback. At the CSLP Manual Listening Sessions, the committee members are hoping to gather some information on what elements of the program manuals you find helpful, what you really just don't use, what changes you might appreciate, and any other ideas or concerns you'd like to share. If you're interested in participating, the registration links for each date are here: Wed, Oct 28, 11am CT (9am PT) - Register here<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/6BWyzgYxQf6mkGhPcyEwsw> Tues, Nov 17, 3pm CT (1pm PT) - Register here<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/eWBp7wKgTKCqQR6YXL16Eg> Public libraries across Michigan are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program thanks to the Library of Michigan and supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. MiYouth updates Youth Services Advisory Council The Library of Michigan's Youth Services Advisory Council (YSAC) is made up of public library youth services staff from across Michigan. It is a voluntary position where members are responsible for: 1) Assess ongoing needs in the areas of youth services library staff, 2) Providing ideas, developing, and facilitating our quarterly MiYouth meetings, 3) Other tasks specific to promoting and serving youth services throughout the state. (For example, working on support materials for Ready to Read Michigan or providing feedback on MeL eResources) Time commitment is moderate, with most of the work/feedback conducted at quarterly meetings (virtual) and via email. Apply to serve on YSAC: https://forms.gle/EBwrtYdjpRHekiZB9 Mark Your Calendars now for our next MiYouth Call! Tuesday, October 13th 2:00 pm ET Public library staff that work with youth are invited to join LM’s Youth Services Advisory Council (YSAC) for networking and discussion. In October we'll have special guest Kristin Fontichiaro from UM's School of Information. We'll also discuss what parents and families need to know about A.I. Come prepared to share, network, and explore! MiYouth meets quarterly (months vary) on the 2nd Tuesday at 2pm. Looking forward to seeing you this afternoon if you can make it. No need to register, just join us at 2pm ET! (This meeting is not recorded, but shared notes will be sent out) Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/506813991?pwd=Z2NBMTFES1BlRlNVc2lhbzV1eTJ0QT09 Password: 454345 Book Grant If you work at a rural library, you may be eligible to apply for a book grant through the Pilcrow Foundation Rural Public Library Children's Book Grant program: https://thepilcrowfoundation.org/childrens-book-project-program-grants/.

You can do it all without complicated puppet stages, formal scripts, expensive materials, or midnight oil! Experience practical puppetry activities in action. Learn what makes puppetry well-suited to library learning and which types of puppets are best-suited to different activities. Adapt a story, song, or game to include puppets. Practice your crafting and performing skills. Return to your own library inspired and prepared to add puppetry to your own programs. BONUS attendees will receive 3 puppetry books for their programming collection and a new finger puppet! Registration Details: This in-person workshop runs from 9:30 - 5:00 pm EST, with lunch provided.

Building Community-Based Summers: Tri-State In-Person Workshops Over the last few years public libraries in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio have participated in cohorts of the Building Community-Based Summers (BCBS) national IMLS project. Through learning sessions and activities, BCBS helps libraries develop new thinking and strategies about summer services in four key areas: Rethinking Internal Systems, Fostering a Culture of Learning, Centering Community, and Reflecting Continuously about summer services and their impact. These BCBS Workshops are being offered to any IN, MI, and OH library workers who are interested in evaluating and reassessing their summer services. Attendees will participate in a variety of activities to help them view their summer services through fresh eyes at a critical time of the year as they plan for next summer. The facilitators will share a brief history and background about BCBS for those unfamiliar with the project, and details for those who wish to be trained more deeply regarding the BCBS learning topics and strategies. The workshops will also include much time for discussion and sharing, to learn what libraries are planning to better reach all their communities and to provide ideas and strategies to address challenges. Both workshops are open to Michigan public library staff. * Thursday, November 5, 2026 - from 9:30 am - 4:30 pm at the Main Library, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, 325 N.

Special Collection Review
by Cierra Bakovka 28 Aug '26

28 Aug '26

Hi all, We've had our special collection for about 5ish years now and are in the process of reviewing our policies. I would love to see what everyone else is doing please! What is your limit on # of special collection items that can be checked out per patron? How often do they have to sign a lending agreement/liability waiver? What do you do about long billed special collections items? (ex: pursuit of return, etc). Also, I'd like to see your policy language if possible. Please and thank you! Cierra Bakovka, MLIS She/Her Director Henika District Library 149 South Main St. Wayland, MI 49348 269-792-2891 ext. 309 mailto:cierra@henikalibrary.org
