Teen Video Challenge!
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 28 May '20

28 May '20

Looking for an easy program to share with your teens that they can do at home this summer? The Teen Video Challenge is back for 2020! A summary is below; go to https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/teen-program/2020-teen-video-challenge/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> for all the details, including the submission form and contest rules. Please share on your social media, website, and with interested teens in your community! The Teen Video Challenge, sponsored by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), is an annual nation video contest open to all teens (librarian and teacher support is encouraged). The challenge is for teens to create a public services announcement-type video that shows their unique interpretation of the 2020 CSLP slogan "Imagine Your Story". Videos are to be no longer than 60 seconds and should promote libraries and reading. Videos will be accepted June 1 through August 7, 2020. * There will be 5 national winners. Just have your teens submit a link to their video and complete a simple online form. * The program will accept submissions June 1-Aug 7, 2020, so that the program can be incorporated into summer programs (it's still a great opportunity to partner with schools with video production classes or clubs; students can produce the videos as a class project and submit them in June!) * Videos will be limited to 60 seconds, making this a doable project for small teams. * Permission and model release forms will only be required from the winning entries (completing the forms is a requirement to receive prizes and acknowledgement). * The TVC Ad-Hoc Committee will convene a judging panel from CSLP partners and members. * Teens can upload to the social media outlet of their choice. Resources: * Logo files to help promote the contest: * Teen Video Challenge Logo COLOR [.png]<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> * Teen Video Challenge Logo B&W [.png]<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> * Link to 2019's 5 winning videos (including one from the Avon Public Library, Eagle Valley Library District, in Colorado - https://www.cslpreads.org/2019-teen-video-challenge-tvc/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Please let me know if you have any questions about the contest. Good luck to your teens that enter the contest! #ImagineYourStory #MiSummerReads Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Software for Movie & a Chat
by Tracy Wilson (Roseville Public Library) 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi all, Two of our librarians want to do a virtual movie night program. They are going to use a movie in the public domain, but are trying to find software that allows everyone to watch the movie and have a chat option. They have looked at both Discord and Cast, but we wanted to see if anyone had real-life experience with a service & could let us know how it worked. Thanks!

We invite you to join MCLS staff for the next dialogue and discussion in our weekly series of conversations around the environment we find ourselves working in right now and what opportunities might exist as we move forward. This week we continue our discussion by taking a look at how libraries can continue to support each other in our post-pandemic library world. Part support group, part visioning, let’s share our thoughts and ideas as we innovate ways to create our post-pandemic future. Join us this week tomorrow, May 29 at 11:00 EDT (10:00 am CDT) on Zoom. Please login using this link for the Virtual Dialogue<https://zoom.us/j/172695113?pwd=dnpuUVBudFR5MHZaTHl4bTN6UjZWdz09>.

Virtual Programming List - Help one another by sharing your awesome ideas!
by Lissa Krull 27 May '20

27 May '20

Earlier this month, during the MCLS Friday Dialogue on Virtual Programming, participants cited the things that make virtual programming exciting are: great participation, getting to see patrons, staff/staff interaction, and non-traditional patrons and people all over the country participating. They even came up with the idea of working with other libraries to put on virtual programs together, since geography wasn't an issue! To make virtual programming easier to implement, participants frequently mentioned that "someone" should start compiling a list of virtual programs in order to share resources and ideas. We thought this was a great idea and created a document that will do exactly that. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I2hyVCVoHR7VyKDLs6dQOUUGadu_nhCFOf-… But we need your help to make it work. Can you imagine the number of virtual programming ideas that would be generated if each one of you reading this email submits just one idea? Feel free to add programs you have done and ask others to share details about the virtual programs you have heard them do to the list. We envision this as a work in progress. As the needs of the participants change, the document will change accordingly. This type of collaboration only works if you are willing to be an active participant. Add your idea to the list today! No idea is too big or too small! Based on what was said during our virtual programming dialogue, to start, the Google Sheets doc has been divided into the following categories: AUTHORS/ILLUSTRATORS/WRITING BOOK CLUBS COOKING CRAFTS GAMES - OTHER GAMES - TRIVIA GARDENING HEALTH/FITNESS MUSIC NON-VIRTUAL SCIENCE/STEM STAFF INTERACTION TECHNOLOGY OTHER Each category has a color-coded tab at the bottom of the document and each individual category (sheet) has individual fields for you to describe your programs. The first tab contains an index with links that will take you directly to the category you want to view. For each program you add, please include the following: Program type Program name Short description Link Library Contact name Contact information We can't wait to see the list you create! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I2hyVCVoHR7VyKDLs6dQOUUGadu_nhCFOf-… *** Don't forget our Dialogs don't just take place on Fridays. They have continued on an MCLS Virtual Dialogues #Slack workspace. If you’re interested in joining the workspace, please contact Pam Seabolt at seaboltp(a)mcls.org<mailto:seaboltp@mcls.org>. ---------------------------------- Lissa Krull Library Strategist Engagement, Consulting, and Training Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) (800) 530-9019 ext 126 krulll(a)mcls.org<mailto:krulll@mcls.org> [signature_1643238427]<https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org> [signature_1351144632] <https://twitter.com/mclsorg> [signature_1026794060] <http://www.mcls.org/>
