Registration is now open for LEAP (Libraries Engaging Appreciatively for Positive Change) 2021!
by Jan Davidson 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Please excuse cross-posting and note that this event includes lists that extend beyond Michigan, but the event is for Michigan library staff only. Registration is now open for Libraries Engaging Appreciatively for Positive Change (LEAP) 2021! On Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021, library staff from libraries of all types around the state of Michigan will gather on Zoom for Libraries Engaging Appreciatively for Positive Change (LEAP) 2021! This one-full-day virtual event is a continuation of our partnership with the Library of Michigan and our shared Michigan Libraries Engage project. Last fall, LEAP 2020 gathered a cohort of 77 participants to learn and explore together, pivoting to Zoom due to the pandemic, and was a wonderful day which launched a dedicated cohort into a shared learning journey throughout the winter and spring. LEAP 2021 will introduce up to 100 more library staff members from all roles and all types of libraries to Appreciative Inquiry and how to apply it to community engagement. Here's what just a few LEAP 2020 participants had to say about the experience: I really enjoyed learning about Appreciative Inquiry. A lot of the techniques resonated with me; it was cool to learn about a well-established change management framework that so closely aligns to my approach to influencing change. This was *by far* the best-run online conference I've attended - well played! I appreciated that the interactions were not forced, and that there were clear goals set throughout with a logical progression through the material. I expect I'll use this learning at work, with our library community, and in my personal life with my spouse and my children! For more information, visit our webpage<https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/leap-2021/>. Registration is now open and first-come, first-served. Lock in your spot today!<https://mcls.corsizio.com/c/614ba1c302de2a0498f57453> This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services<https://www.imls.gov/>.

Last call for the EveryLibrary 5k Your Way team for Michigan MAME
by Klaudia Janek 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hello Michigan Library Friends! Look at me. I made a video. I'm totally putting myself out there for the cause. It's not something I love to do...but there it is: https://youtu.be/2w0ZBtVjjmk Thank you to those of you who have joined the Michigan MAME team. This is the final week. Please consider joining. Part of the money raised will go towards supporting the Michigan School Library bills. Part of the money goes towards other EveryLibrary initiatives. Sometimes social media is not enough and EveryLibrary needs actual money to make things happen. I think we are closer than ever before with the media attention school libraries have been getting. If you promoted it 3 years ago, it needs to be signed and promoted again. And EveryLibrary needs money. The 5K Your Way event supports all of this and gets our name out there. https://www.saveschoollibrarians.org/three_bills_mi_2021 (only 317 people have sent emails in support of school libraries) We were the #1 team and we have dropped to 5th place. Help us get back to the number #1 spot. Here is all the information to join or donate: https://www.smore.com/cs48d I'll be out running this weekend. But you can read for 5000 seconds ;) Or do 5K of anything. Steps doing yardio??? Floating across a lake? Ohhhhh...how about 5000 milliliters of wine drinking??? Just remember to take a picture and email it to me. kjanek(a)bloomfield.org Or upload it yourself on the Team Page: https://everylibrary.securesweet.com/teampage.asp?fundid=1373#.YVSKgrhKiUk This is also a great way to promote our library ecosystem!!! Public, University and School libraries!!!! We need everyone. Go Michigan Libraries!!! Thank you.
