director search re-opened
by Melissa Malcolm 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Hi all-- Today was supposed to be my first day of retirement, but alas, our first attempt at finding a new director didn't work out and the board has re-opened our job search with the help of a consultant this time. The starting salary range has also been increased. I have discovered during this time of great disruption that my opinions of my board and staff are really not pie-in-the-sky. Staff was paid while the libraries were closed (thank you, Board!) and now that we're starting curbside pickup, I have staff so happy and excited to be back despite operating in a totally new fashion. I am one lucky woman to be working for a few months longer with these wonderful humans. New posting: https://library.lapeer.org/about-us/employment/ldl-director-posting.pdf Closing date is July 5 and electronic submission is required. Please send to me at melissa(a)lib.lapeer.org Thanks! melissa -- Melissa A. Malcolm Library Director Lapeer District Library "Where your story begins." 201 Village West Dr S Lapeer, MI 48446 melissa(a)lib.lapeer.org www.library.lapeer.org 810.664.9521 <callto:810.664.9521> ext. 3113 "If liberty and justice mean anything, then access means everything." -- Charles Ogletree

STAR Net STEAM Equity Project webinar
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

From: Brooks Mitchell, STAR Net Libraries Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know about an upcoming webinar<https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PgPyTFsTS2-8jLjZ7SRVcg> that will walk you through the two-step application process for an exciting new project, the STAR Net STEAM Equity Project<http://www.ala.org/tools/programming/steamequity>. I'll place more information about the project below, but in short, this project is seeking 12 creative librarians/library workers to lead their libraries’ participation in a project at the intersection of transforming library services, gender equity and cultural inclusion (especially with Latino families), STEAM learning and positive youth development. We are encouraging librarians/library workers that work in the following context to apply: * Public libraries in rural communities in the United States and its territories are eligible. * For the purposes of this project, rural libraries are defined as those serving communities of under 25,000, and significant Latino population as a percentage greater than the 9% national average for rural America (USDA Rural America at a Glance, 2018 Edition<https://spacescience.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/STEAMEquity/_layouts/15/Doc…>). * Libraries that serve significant Latino populations are strongly encouraged to apply. * The project team uses the term “Latino” but acknowledges that communities and individuals may identify as Latino/a/x, Hispanic, Chicano/a, or a variety of other terms. Eligibility will be determined through the Notice of Intent<https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=AMALA> process, based on community characteristics and library capacity. Registration<https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PgPyTFsTS2-8jLjZ7SRVcg>: https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PgPyTFsTS2-8jLjZ7SRVcg Date: Tuesday, Jun 16, 2020 Time: 3:00 pm ET / 2 pm CT / 1 pm MT / 12 pm PT / 11 am AKDT / 9 am HST Description: In this free webinar, learn how to apply for an opportunity to engage your community in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) through your library services and collaborations. Join us to learn more about the STAR Library Network’s STEAM Equity Project, an incredible effort to help public library workers in small and rural communities offer outstanding, culturally responsive STEAM programming and exhibitions for their patrons, especially often-underreached Latino populations. In this session, you will meet the project partners, learn about the project timeline and how to apply to become a participating library, and learn about STEAM programming that you can bring to your library today. This project will have a unique two-step application process: we are asking interested libraries to submit a short Notice of Intent (NOI) now to determine eligibility and a full application later in the year. The STEAM Equity Project is offered by the American Library Association’s (ALA) Public Programs Office and Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services, in collaboration with the National Center for Interactive Learning (NCIL) at the Space Science Institute (project lead), Twin Cities PBS (TPT) and their SciGirls program, the Institute for Learning Innovation (ILI), and the Educational Development Center (EDC).

Program Recommendation: Robert W. Fieseler, author of "Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation"
by Maria Williams 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Dear Michlib- If you are seeking an author for a virtual event I'd like to recommend Robert W. Fieseler, acclaimed debut author of the book *Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation <https://wwnorton.com/books/9781631491641>*. The book tells the story of the 1973 arson fire at the Up Stairs Lounge in New Orleans that was the largest mass murder of queer people in American history prior to the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. It won the 2019 Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime as well as Lambda Literary's Judith A. Markowitz Award for Emerging LGBTQ Writers. ALA named it a Stonewall Honor Book in Nonfiction. Mr. Fieseler was lovely to work with and was an engaging, knowledgeable speaker. Our event with him was through the library's Instagram page, but he is amenable to other virtual platforms. We paid his honorarium with money donated from an endowment fund. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, or you may contact him directly by email at wordbobby(a)gmail.com. I wish you all good luck and strength of spirit as you prepare your libraries to reopen to patrons in the coming weeks! Warm regards, M. Maria Williams, MLIS Head of Adult Services Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4651 http://www.baldwinlib.org Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/9555257?utm_medi…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/9555257?utm_medi…> [image: Goodreads Logo] <https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature>Get your own email signature <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_instructions?utm_medium=gyo_…>

by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hello Summer Library Program Planners, I know I've been sending out a lot of emails. So, I wanted to send one on summer library programming alone, just so it was all in one spot. Can you believe it's June already? Most of this is refresher information but I do have 1 new announcement: LM's got themed Reading Logs<https://bit.ly/LMlogs2020>!!! Woo-hoo! Very exciting. You can edit your library information in (or add a reading suggestions), then just print or email it to families. Don't forget, CSLP materials are available to all public libraries in Michigan thanks to IMLS. If you don't have an account at www.CSLPreads.org<http://www.CSLPreads.org>, or forgot the manual access code, then please contact me. Okay, here are those resources I wanted to highlight: * CSLP National Summer Reading Champion is Carmen Agra Deedy and she has 2 PSA videos<https://youtu.be/iFDyKbKYw0c> as well as Facebook Stories<https://www.facebook.com/carmenagradeedy> (posted Fridays at Noon all summer long)! Infographics<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wPamov4gKxukUhP4owBMDfLztRnMzKO4?us…> are also available for sharing her programs on social media. * Teen Video Challenge: https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/teen-program/2020-teen-video-challenge/ - entries due August 7th. Great thing to encourage teens to get creative and maybe highlight how they "reimagined" this summer! * The CSLP Toolkit for Social Media<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> for 2020's Summer Library Program - "Imagine Your Story!" Please feel free to schedule social media posts on your library's social networks using the samples provided. Graphics are available in your digital manual under file folder 09 as "Social Media Files." #ImagineYourStory and #LibrariesImagine are the official hashtags for 2020, plus in Michigan I encourage you to use #MiSummerReads. * Read Up!<https://w3.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2020_SFSP_Read_Up_Gu…> CSLP has created a guide for Summer Food Service Program sites<https://w3.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2020_SFSP_Read_Up_Gu…> with enrichment activities that support summer reading, with support from the Library of Michigan and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. * Reading Logs for editing: https://bit.ly/LMlogs2020. How do I edit a pdf? Answer: https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/how-to/pdf-editor-pdf-files.html. * 2020 Updated CSLP Posters for printing in-house or at a local professional printer: http://bit.ly/LM2020CSLP. All additional artwork by the amazing children's illustrator LeUyen Pham, and support graphics, are found in the online manual. * PSA's - there are some more generic PSA's<https://www.cslpreads.org/2019-psas/> from CSLP that may or may not work for your library during this unique summer. * Early Literacy Playlist<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhd2CFVTcfk&list=PLe3krHkVt7MaXzw65rsy9HUZb…> - sing and play along with supports from the 2020 EL manual right on YouTube! * MeL also has great #ImagineYourStory eResources and eBooks: https://bit.ly/MeLSummerReading * Archived webinars<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_89737-301245-…> from LM include "DIY Puppets and Props<https://youtu.be/-5lNFhT0UTQ>" with Jenifer Strauss recorded in May, and the Youth Services Advisory Council's "Imagine Your Story<https://youtu.be/WrHglCmfszI>," recorded in January. * Online summer library programming platforms? LM contracts with Demco to offer your library a Wandoo Reader site, if you don't have an online platform please contact me. Wandoo Reader's themed game characters and CSLP banners are up and ready. * A link to the Summer Library Program Survey will be posted to listservs in July. Details on the Q's for that survey coming soon, however the questions are always similar to your annual state aid report, so please keep track of your program numbers as always. Thanks to CSLP and support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. I'm probably forgetting something, but I know how to find your inbox... Have a great weekend and #ImagineYourStory!
