by Beth Martin 04 May '21

04 May '21

Happy Spring! In this season of renewal, it’s time to consider the possibilities for leadership and service with the Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA). We recognize the challenges we are all facing during this unprecedented event, and MiALA will continue to serve its members - but we need your help. Leadership takes many forms in MiALA and there are many service opportunities available. Why is serving in MiALA leadership a win/win for all of us? Because service with MiALA: * Takes only a few hours of time each month; * Can count toward tenure or continuing appointment requirements at your institution; * Establishes an active professional network with colleagues from other institutions; * Promotes academic librarianship through collaboration and communication. Do you or someone you know have the dedication and enthusiasm to serve in MiALA leadership? Or someone who is newer to academic librarianship in Michigan? Or someone who is eager to enhance their leadership skills? If so, please nominate them (or yourself) to run for one of these open Board positions: * Vice President/President-Elect * Secretary * Publicly Funded University Rep * Private College Rep * Community College Rep * Interest Group Coordination Council Representatives (Two 2-year terms and Two 1-year terms) Nominations open on April 15, 2021 and will be accepted through May 21, 2021. Newly-elected positions will begin service on July 1, 2021. Have a question about the MiALA elections? See our Election Central website for complete information, including a timeline and position descriptions: http://miala.org/election_central.php. Any other questions about the nomination or election process, please contact the Nominations & Elections Committee at elections(a)miala.org<mailto:elections@miala.org>.

Libraries have started assembling craft kits with instructions for children, teens, and adults. From toilet paper roll rocket ships to construction paper holiday cards, there is no limit to what you can DIY. While kits may contain construction paper, paper plates, tissue paper, popsicle sticks, and other crafting materials, some patrons may not have the supplies necessary to construct the crafts at home. Consider creating a package of safety scissors, glue sticks, crayons, and other supplies needed to create the craft in its entirety, and offering it to patrons that express the need for these items. There is an assumption that many patrons will have these supplies at home. However, patrons that do not, will be excluded from participating. Before COVID, many patrons relied on borrowing such supplies from within the library to complete these activities. There are options for cheap and safe scissors that do not need to be returned to the library, so you can continue to maintain your library's repertoire of supplies for when in-person programming resumes. Remember, always ask a parent or guardian before supplying children with safety scissors and/or glue! Increasingly, public libraries are feeding hungry bodies as well as hungry minds during the summer - and throughout the year. The CSLP's Child and Community Well-Being committee is developing resources to support and encourage library participation in the USDA's Summer Food Service Program and other initiatives to help kids and teens stay nourished, active, and healthy when school is out. These resources include the Libraries and Summer Food<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> page on the CSLP website; a Facebook group<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.faceb…> for news, support, and resource-sharing; and an ongoing series of stories showcasing the experiences of libraries around the country. 2021 Summer Food Update by Shane Hoffman As we all know, Covid has changed everything we do. Unfortunately, those changes have not generally been for the better. We have adapted. We have overcome. We have moved much programming to the web, and we have Zoomed to our heart's content and well beyond. One bright side to all of this is that we now get to see everyone's pets on a regular basis. Hunger did not take a break due to covid. In fact, it has seen a dramatic increase. Thanks to the USDA granting waivers to the way the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Afterschool Meals (CACFP) work, many of the barriers libraries have faced have been eliminated. It was recently announced that those waivers have been extended through the 2021-2022 school year. What are these changes, and what does this mean for the future? As for the changes to these systems, each state has the discretion to implement fully, partially or not at all. Therefore, you will need to visit your state's administering agency to see exactly how those changes are at work in your state. Waivers in place: 1. Eligibility reduced from 50% Free and Reduced Price Lunch participation at nearest school to nearest school simply participates in National School Lunch program. That means that well over 99% of the US is now in an eligible zone. 2. Congregate feeding is no longer a requirement. You can now do grab and go meals. 3. You are no longer limited to only serving one meal at a time. You can provide a week's worth of grab and go meals at a time, up to ten during the summer and five during the school year. 4. Meal times are now more flexible and parents can pick up grab and go meals for their children. Keep in mind that your library does not have to be in an eligible area to run a program. You merely have to serve the meals at an eligible location. This is a great opportunity to make partners and increase visibility in your community. We operate or have helped set up six in our community since the pandemic began. What does this mean going forward? I was able to attend the 2021 National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference this March. At this conference we heard from several people from Feeding America, FRAC and other organizations. We also heard directly from Senators Debbie Stabenow and John Boozman along with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. I was also able to sit in on phone calls with two of the three members of Congress who represent me. The results of all that information were very positive. Hunger issues are relatively bipartisan, especially since the pandemic began. There has not been this much energy to work on Childhood Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR) for a very long time. CNR is the process by which Congress looks at and updates laws regarding childhood nutrition, such as SFSP and CACFP. It is supposed to happen every five years but has not been looked at since 2010. Even then, many of the pieces governing these programs are still in place from the 1980's or even 1960's. There is recognition that the waivers in place have had a huge impact on local communities. There will almost certainly be formal action taken this year or next to update these programs with the positive outcomes waivers have produced at the forefront of the discussion. The only real question seems to be just how many of these waivers will make it into the updates and if they will go as far as they do now. The good news, of course, is that it looks like many provisions will be updated, eligibility increased, and paperwork decreased. The overall result is that, from now through the end of next school year at least, libraries should be able to take advantage of changes to SFSP and After school Meals to increase access to nutritious meals for youth in our communities. We also have hope that the increased access and ease of implementation will be extended, to some degree, going forward.
