However, the steps for authentically engaging the community in problem-solving are often unclear. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) Model and learn how to use it as a facilitation tool for conducting meetings with their library communities. The role of digital programming as a SOAR response to the challenges of COVID-19 will be explored, with presenters and participants alike sharing their successes and challenges. OurStoryBridge: Creating Community Through Stories Tuesday, August 17, 2021 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/ourstorybridge.html<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> Our communities are made up of people and their stories. And what better place is there to help tell, share, and preserve these stories than the library! Sparked by the efforts of the Keene Valley Library in New York, OurStoryBridge is a project which helps libraries capture and share the rich social and cultural history of their communities. The project has released a free toolkit of resources for library staff and volunteers to create online, three-to five- minute oral histories, a format that appeals to young and old today. The toolkit includes everything a library needs to know to start a story project, such as step by step instructions, “how-to” videos, sample documents, and a guide to help teachers engage their students in community stories. Join the creator of OurStoryBridge and staff at two libraries who have implemented the program to hear their experiences with this inspiring and impactful project and learn how your library can participate. CFPB’s Your Money, Your Goals: Financial Empowerment for Your Community Wednesday, September 22, 2021 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/your-money-your-goals.html<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> Whether you’re talking to patrons about Covid-19, searching for a job, going to college, or deciding where to live, money is often a key concern. Guiding patrons through a complicated financial landscape, can be challenging and confusing, and can be unfair when the playing field is not level. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), is focused on using all of their tools, including enforcement, rule-writing, and research to address systemic racism and economic inequality in the consumer financial system. One of the ways to address wealth inequality in the U.S. is through empowering people who are developing their financial knowledge. With the right tools and resources, you can start conversations on this essential topic which touches all our lives. The CFPB provides a comprehensive tool, Your Money, Your Goals<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.consu…> (YMYG). YMYG is a set of free financial empowerment materials for organizations that help people meet their financial goals by increasing their knowledge, skills, and resources. Join this session to explore resources you can use with patrons working on their financial goals and hear from the Norfolk Public Library about how they are using YMYG resources to close the financial literacy gap in their community. And also learn about ALA’s Financial Literacy Interest Group<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.a…>-a place to find support and share best practices for financial literacy in all libraries and communities. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan, 702 W.

August Library Law Spotlight Webinar - Register Now
by Wartella, Becky (MDE) 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

Registration is now open for August Library Law Spotlight webinar. August 20, 2021, 10:00am-11:30am EST - Contracting for Public Library Service A service contract is a great way for libraries to serve neighboring communities. However, such a contract can result in pitfalls for the library if the terms of the contract don't reflect the culture of the existing patrons. This is especially true if the contracted area is not paying the same rate for services that the "home" community is paying via a millage. This session will discuss considerations and tips for negotiating reasonable contracts for service with municipalities. For more information or to register, visit the event page<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…> (https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…) Thank you, Becky Wartella Department Technician Library of Michigan 702 W.

SOS: Save Our Swallowtails In-Person Program Saturday @ Commerce
by Alexis Shirk 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

Join us Saturday, July 31st @ 2 pm for LIVE BUTTERFLIES at the Commerce Township Community Library! It is common knowledge that the Monarch Butterfly relies on milkweed as the critical larval food plant that ensures future generations. However, Michigan's swallowtails - four equally large and beautiful butterfly species, but much less acknowledged - each also rely on their own specific larval food plants to reproduce. With the use of beautiful Powerpoint images and live specimens Jim McGrath of Nature Discovery will discuss the life cycles of Black, Spicebush, Tiger and Giant Swallowtails, including how to find their ornately-colored and patterned caterpillars in the wild, how to rear them safely to adult form, and what to provide in your yard to sustain adult swallowtails and caterpillars, alike. Discussion will include several other Michigan-native lepidopterans, their larvae and food plants, as well. Registration is required. https://tinyurl.com/ucy9u6pc -- Alexis Shirk Adult Services Librarian Commerce Twp.
