Library Patron Access and the Law (online course)
by White, Shannon (MDE) 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Library Patron Access and the Law Online Course Instructor: Mary Minow Dates: November 4th through 29th, 2019 Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs Price: $175 http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/217-access-legal.php Library Patron Access and the Law is a practical course to help identify areas in which librarians can proactively take steps to ensure compliance with legal requirements. Libraries that are open to the public and libraries open only to a more specialized community must both ensure that their patrons have access to information while balancing safety and other needs of the library's community. Join Mary Minow in this 4-week course as she takes you through two topics of particular interest: (1) Patron behavior policies and (2) Access to information by patrons with disabilities. You will address an issue or problem in each area, and work through legal frameworks to see how to minimize risk and maximize access. By the end of the course, you will know how to identify problems in patron behavior policies and learn how to ensure that your library offers due process to aggrieved patrons. You will know the basic legal requirements for access by patrons with disabilities, at the federal level, and how to check your local laws for any additional requirements. You will be given the opportunity to discuss these topics as they apply to your library, and be given resources to continue your learning. Mary Minow is a library law consultant, who has consulted on behavior policies, disability access (legal issues), and related issues. She has an A.M.L.S. from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from Stanford University. She is currently working with Tomas Lipinski on the second edition of the Library's Legal Answer Book (ALA: 2003). Your input may help inform this updated book. This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register for any of our courses through the first week of instruction (as long as the course is not full). The "Register" button on the website goes to our credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing address). If your institution wants us to send a billing statement or wants to pay using a purchase order, please contact us by email to make arrangements: inquiries(a)libraryjuiceacademy.com For a list of all of the courses being offered next month, please go to: http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/courses.php Library Juice Academy P.O.

Program Recommendation
by sjackman＠milfordlibrary.info 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hello all, Last night we hosted reporter and author Karen Dybis. She gave a talk on her book The Witch of Delray: Rose Veres & Detroit's Infamous 1930s Murder Mystery. The talk checks off a lot of our community's favorite subjects: Michigan history, true crime and the idea of women behaving badly. I arranged to have this program intentionally near Halloween in light of the book's title. We had great attendance for the program. Miss Dybis was very engaging, balancing the facts of the case with humor and insight. People left the event thanking me for having her. I definitely recommend you host Miss Dybis yourself. If The Witch of Delray doesn't peak your patrons' interest, she's written three other books, all having to do with Michigan history. Her website with details on her other books and a contact form is linked below. https://www.karendybis.com/contact-1 Stephen Jackman Adult Services Librarian Milford Public Library sjackman(a)milfordlibrary.info 248-684-0845 (ext. 306)

FW: WebJunction content and upcoming webinars
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Did you know that the Library of Michigan and the Institute of Museum and library Services (IMLS) provides access to WebJunction free of charge to Michigan library staff? See below for information on upcoming online courses and webinars. Highlighted Content on WebJunction • New Publications Detail Public Library Responses to the Opioid Crisis<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> – Two new publications demonstrate how public libraries are responding to the opioid crisis with their communities. Based on research conducted with the libraries, the project has produced eight case studies and a summary report, synthesizing the findings. • Cyber Legal Clinics Create Access to Employment at Wicomico Public Libraries<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> – Free legal representation can be hard to access in rural communities and filing legal documents without representation can be costly and confusing. To improve access to civil legal justice for low-income community members, Wicomico Public Libraries partnered with the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service to create the cyber legal clinic, “Legal Clinic @ YOUR Library.” WebJunction Webinars for You The following upcoming webinars are open for registration. If you can’t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.web…>. Doing the Work Externally and Internally: Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Thursday, December 5, 2019 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/doing-the-work-race-equity-d…<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> How does a library respond to a community in deep crisis around race and social justice? That’s the question that Richland Library in Columbia, S.C., grappled with in 2017. Recognizing that there was no single answer, they launched initiatives on multiple internal and external fronts. Starting with a Social Awareness Taskforce, geared toward community engagement and courageous conversations, they explored topics surrounding social and criminal justice, women’s rights and race. By using innovative approaches like Circles of Dialogue and mobile empathy labs, nearly 1,500 people have participated in the library’s race, equity and inclusion programming. To further their efforts, they have also focused internally, empowering staff to lead the charge to understand their biases, macroaggressions, and cultural competence through Let’s Talk gatherings, Check Your Bubble worksheets, and other effective tools. Hearing how Richland Library moved the needle on honest dialogue, empathy, and equity with their staff and community, you will be inspired to dig in and do the work at your own library. Presented by: Richland Library (SC) staff, including Tamara King, Community Relations Director and 2019 Library Journal Mover & Shaker; Ci Ci Holloway, Human Resources Director; and Dee Robinson, Director of Library Experience, Branches. This webinar is part of collaboration with Library Journal, highlighting the work of recent LJ Movers & Shakers. This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan and the Library of Michigan Foundation.

by Katie Wittenauer 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Greetings from Michigan Humanities, I'm writing with a reminder about our Poetry Out Loud registration deadline, which is approaching three weeks from tomorrow on Thursday, November 21. If you know of teachers or homeschool programs in your area who may be interested in this free poetry curriculum and competition opportunity, please direct them to me (Katie Wittenauer: kwittenauer(a)mihumanities.org<mailto:kwittenauer@mihumanities.org>). Here are a few quick facts about Poetry Out Loud in Michigan: * Poetry Out Loud (POL) is a national poetry recitation competition for high school students. By encouraging youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance, students can master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. * Poetry Out Loud materials are provided to each partnering high school or homeschool program at no cost. * Participating high schools host their own competitions and select a student to represent their school at the state finals. Michigan's POL State Finals will be held on March 13 and 14, 2020. * Poetry Out Loud is a partnership of Michigan Humanities (MH), Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA), the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Poetry Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). * You can take a look at Poetry Out Loud students in action via the following video (https://youtu.be/nJTEmA_PoFo) and learn more by visiting our Michigan Humanities' Poetry Out Loud website (https://www.michiganhumanities.org/poetry-out-loud/) Please let me know if there are any questions I can help answer, and thank you for spreading the word about Poetry Out Loud!
