by Emily Blakowski 26 May '20

26 May '20

H Everybody, Today, the Clarkston Independence District Library (CIDL) and the Clarkston Community Historical Society presented the very first virtual edition of Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words! Larry Martin shared an interview with Michigan WWII veteran Fred Bahlau, a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division who fought at Normandy on D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, Belgium. In addition, he had other stories about Fred that he shared after the interview and took questions from the attendees. For a first-time virtual event, we had a very good turnout, and CIDL looks forward to working with him again. If you want to contact him for future programs, his email is batt.chief(a)yahoo.com. Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Sincerely, Emily Blakowski [cid:fc61e97d-2996-4f28-92cc-05774b8b1fe1]

The 1,800-page legislation is the latest proposal in Congress for what will eventually become the fifth economic stimulus bill. ALA’s Public Policy and Advocacy Office continues to review the lengthy HEROES Act to identify all substance relevant to libraries and maximize opportunities for libraries to benefit from the bill. ALA submitted a letter to the Speaker of the House urging more funding for libraries to be included in the House bill. The full House plans to vote on the package as early as Friday, May 15. The Senate has not announced a timeline for its next relief package. ALA will continue to urge additional support for libraries, including a $4 billion Senate proposal for home broadband access. Additional COVID-19 relief and recovery bills are likely in the coming months as the full impacts of the pandemic begin to surface in various sectors.

Public Library for Deaf Storyslam, a free community event in which Deaf individuals of varying backgrounds share personal stories and experiences with the broader community. The $2,000 grant, part of ALA’s Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC) community engagement initiative, is open to school, public, academic, tribal or special libraries to help them expand upon community engagement efforts. Community engagement is the process of working collaboratively with community members — be they library users, residents, faculty, students or local organizations — to address issues for the betterment of the community. In May 2019, ALA announced that it had surpassed its original $50,000 fundraising goal to support the creation of the Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant, raising a total of $70,000 from 130 individuals. The initiative was made possible by a matching grant from former ALA president and longtime generous supporter Nancy Kranich.
