Deep Cleaning
by Tracy Logan 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well. We've had a couple scares here in Cadillac over the last couple of weeks and I want to be prepared in case we get a staff member with a confirmed case. I'm looking for a local cleaning service to do a deep cleaning but I have no idea what to ask them. Has anyone tackled this? What services/certifications/equipment etc. should I be looking for? Thank you! -Tracy -- Tracy Logan Library Director Cadillac Wexford Public Library 411 S. Lake Street Cadillac, MI 49601 231-775-6541 logant(a)cadillaclibrary.org

Hello everyone, I had a Board member send me a photo of some stand-alone filtration systems that were in a restaurant he was at. I was wondering if any libraries have purchased stand alone filter systems, and if so, what would you recommend?

The tension created between new social distance protocols and the need to connect and build relationships is heightened, with many not equipped to lower the stress for meaningful teaching and learning to occur in school or in a remote environment. At the same time, school communities and society at large are facing the pandemic of centuries of racism that is harmful to students, particularly Black, Indigenous and students of Color. What are the strategies that need to be put in place to nurture the growth of each student, their family/caregivers, and teachers during these times? How can we evolve to be culturally responsive in our schools and communities? In this edWebinar, we will: * Learn about key self-care tips not only for students, but adults, too * Discover how school districts can encourage self-care and mindfulness in their communities of teachers and learners * Hear what parents can do at home to foster self-care and mindfulness * Examine how being student centered can promote culturally responsive teaching This edWebinar will be of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of all levels. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. Presented by Dena Simmons, Ed.D., Assistant Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Yale University, CT; Dr. Baron R.

National Runaway Prevention Month is in November
by Mary Jo Vortkamp 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi Team, I wanted to share some resources for you to help support the youth in your community during National Runaway Prevention Month. The National Runaway Safeline has some great resources, including: -Free Educational and Outreach Materials: https://www.1800runaway.org/free-promotional-materials/ -Presentations about the National Runaway Prevention Month for the community, social media posts and more. https://www.1800runaway.org/nrpm/ -Runaway Prevention Curriculum. "a free, evidence-based, interactive, 14 module curriculum intended to educate young people about alternatives to running away as well as to build life skills so that youth can resolve problems without resorting to running away or unsafe behavior." https://www.1800runaway.org/runaway-prevention-curriculum-sign-up/ -They also have prevention specialists that will lead a virtual youth group discussion: https://www.1800runaway.org/providers-educators/kids-call/ Also there is an excellent article on Webjunction: https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/serving-homeless-youth.html This is a great opportunity to network with social service agencies and homeless prevention programs. Also, every school district has a McKinney-Vento Liaison who serves as one of the primary contacts between homeless families and school staff, district personnel, shelter workers, and other service providers. They usually welcome another way of getting information out to families and children. Remember: 1 in 10 young adults (age 18 to 25) and 1 in 30 minors (age 13-17) experienced unaccompanied homelessness in a one-year period. This translates to approximately 3.5 million young adults and 700,000 minors (Morton et al, 2017) Please take care and please excuse any cross-posting! Mary Jo Mary Jo Vortkamp B.A., M.L.I.S.

Register now for the 2020 LEAP Program starting Nov 5
by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Last week many of you heard about this program on the Friday library director call. We wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to see the program here and review the details. This is a really unique opportunity to venture into some new models of engagement. No matter your level of knowledge around community engagement or your role in the library you can take part in this program on November 5. Check out the full details below. Libraries Engage Appreciatively for Positive Change (LEAP) 2020 MCLS, as a continuation of our partnership with the Library of Michigan and our shared Michigan Libraries Engage project, encourages Michigan library staff of all levels to attend a special virtual event on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020. The program, called LEAP (Libraries Engage Appreciatively for Positive Change), will be an opportunity to learn methods and techniques for using Appreciative Inquiry to engage with participants' local communities and initiate positive change to ensure successful community engagement projects. Appreciative Inquiry is an approach to community engagement that focuses on positive aspects of change and drawing out and building on existing strengths. It also highlights the importance of collaborative conversations, dialogue, and stories. Who will be facilitating this program? Maureen McKenna of Return on Energy Consulting<http://returnonenergy.ca/about/>, an internationally respected and highly sought-out expert in the field of Appreciative Inquiry, will be facilitating the LEAP program along with MCLS's Engagement, Consulting, & Training team. Who are these workshops for and what will they cover? The skills and knowledge gained will support library staff members in both developing new community engagement initiatives and strengthening initiatives already in progress. It will help previously-trained Harwood Public Innovators expand their dialogues with new conversation methods, and assist those who have not been trained in Harwood methods to begin conversations. This program is for all levels and roles of library staff. Following the November event, attendees will receive six months of facilitated learning and coaching via Zoom meetings. Requirements for attendance This will be a highly interactive virtual workshop. Attendees MUST have a microphone enabled and turn their cameras on for full participation, and will be expected to attend the full day to gain maximum value of the program. There are no special qualifications or prerequisites needed to attend; we hope many of you from all roles in libraries will consider how this program can impact your life and your work engaging your communities in a variety of ways. When and where? Thursday, Nov 5, 2020, 9:30am - 4:30pm Eastern (8:30am - 3:30pm Central) with a break for lunch and several other scheduled breaks throughout. Online via Zoom meeting. Cost: Because the Library of Michigan wants to support Michigan library staff in growing their skills toward the goal of stronger community engagement, registration is highly subsidized and is just $40 per person, and includes all materials. Registration Registration is now open and first-come, first-served. Register today!<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/special-programs/libraries-engage-apprecia…> Questions? Contact Jan at engagement(a)mcls.org<mailto:engagement@mcls.org>. This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services<https://www.imls.gov/>.

15 Oct '20

Let’s LEAP together… one step at a time! LEAP (Libraries Engage Appreciatively for Positive Change) registration is now open. Please excuse cross-posting and note that this event includes lists that extend beyond Michigan, but the event is for Michigan library staff only. As part of our shared Michigan Libraries Engage project, MCLS and the Library of Michigan invite all Michigan library staff to a special virtual event on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, 9:30am – 4:30pm Eastern. We have heard from many Michigan libraries that the priority right now, in the wake of disruptions and closures caused by COVID-19, is to start reengaging with your communities one conversation, one patron at a time; LEAP will focus on teaching you some great techniques to do just that. This workshop day, as well as the six monthly virtual facilitated learning and coaching sessions to follow, will help you feel equipped and inspired to work toward engaging your community in new ways as we continue to navigate our mid-pandemic, and move toward a post-pandemic, world – one small LEAP at a time. The LEAP event will guide you through processes and tools of Appreciative Inquiry to help you focus on your library’s strengths and build upon them in order to reconnect with your patrons and your wider community. The Library of Michigan supports Michigan library staff in growing their skills and reconnecting with their communities. Registration is highly subsidized and is just $40 per person. Registration is now open and first-come, first-served.
