online calendars
by Allison Boyer 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Hi all! I'm wondering what online calendars people are using for program scheduling and patron registration. My library has been using Evanced/demco sign up for over 10 years and thought to look at our options and learn what is new out there. And I know a lot of libraries do use Demco! I know this question has been asked before so sorry for asking it again. (I tried the archives but it wouldn't let me log in.) Thanks for any names you can pass along. -allison Allison Boyer ----------------------------------- Head of Youth Services Loutit District Library Grand Haven, MI 49417 Youth Desk: 616-850-6916 Office: 616-850-6919 Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/1927302?utm_medi…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/1927302?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_…>

eNews from HSM: A Successful Conference, The Last Hot 'N Now in Michigan, A Peek at Charleston Tour, New Michigan History, Upcoming Events
by Historical Society of Michigan 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Record Numbers at Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference in March Nearly 725 history enthusiasts-a record-breaking number!-from all over the state flocked to this year's Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference, held in Sterling Heights in March. The conference included standing-room-only crowds in several of its 30 illuminating breakout sessions and workshops, as well as one-of-a-kind keynotes from prominent figures such as Detroit entrepreneur William F. Pickard, former NBA basketball player and former mayor of Detroit Dave Bing, journalist Susan Whitall and Aretha Franklin's sister-in-law Earline Franklin, and Judge Gerald E. Rosen. In addition to the conference's keynotes, sessions, workshops, and vendors, attendees had the opportunity to experience the dancing of Michigan's past with the Saturday Gala event, "Dancing Through the Decades." Dancers from around Michigan performed popular dance routines from various eras. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5R0nfHe9qg&feature=youtu.be> Watch highlights from "Dancing Through the Decades" The Last Hot 'n Now in Michigan Get it while you still can-the last Hot 'n Now in the world is still going strong in Sturgis, Michigan. Did you eat at the chain during its years of operation? Hot 'n Now was founded in Kalamazoo in 1984 by William Van Domelen. The popular chain grew to more than 100 locations in more 15 states by the 1990s, but over time as other fast food chains continued to expand, the Hot 'n Now locations began to close. Today, the only Hot 'n Now still in operation lives in Sturgis, Michigan, on M-66. We visited Sturgis last September for our annual Michigan History Conference, and our goodie bags for attendees included a Hot 'n Now sticker! Michiganders Currently Enjoying Charleston Tour The Michiganders on the RoadT program is currently underway with a group of 43 history enthusiasts exploring the history and culture that Charleston and the surrounding area has to offer on the "Southern Hospitality Tour: Charleston & The Old South." Today, they are exploring the history at Old Salem Village in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Old Salem is the town's historic district and showcases the culture of the Moravian settlement during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Living history interpreters staff Old Salem and the group has enjoyed hearing the stories of the settlement's past, including the history of the Moravian settlement's 200-year-old organ, pictured here. Michiganders on the Road has more tour offerings in 2019, including: <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/hudson-river-valley -tour/> Painters and Patriots: Hudson River Valley Tour - July 12-20 <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/frank-lloyd-wright- tour/> America's Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright Tour - August 17-20 <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/gateway-west-tour/> Gateway to the West Tour - October 5-13 We hope to have you aboard! Dorothy Comstock Riley A Detroit native, Dorothy Comstock Riley started her career as a lawyer in the Detroit area in the 1950s. In 1972, she became a Wayne County Circuit Court judge and in 1976, Riley became the first woman to serve on the Michigan Court of Appeals. Following her time on the Court of Appeals, Riley was appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court by Governor Milliken in 1982-causing bipartisan controversy at the time. Nevertheless, after being voted out of the Michigan Supreme Court in 1983, Riley was voted back in to the court in 1984, serving as chief justice from 1987 to 1991. She retired in 1997. Riley was the first Hispanic woman to be elected to a state Supreme Court in any of the 50 states and, in 2000, was presented the Distinguished Public Servant Award by the State Bar of Michigan. cid:image001.jpg@01CF8A43.BF828E40 _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

Ready to Read Michigan We ask that you help us both improve the program and provide information to the program funders by completing our program survey by April 26th. Your feedback on the number of programs you have and how many children participate is very important to the continuation of funding for the statewide program. The survey link is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RTRM2019. Sesame Workshop Survey for Youth Librarians The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop has just launched a survey for youth librarians <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/library-learning> as part of its Families Learning Across Boundaries <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjoanganzco…> project. Individuals who work with children ages 3 to 12 in public and school libraries can take the survey through the end of April to help with the project's goal, which is to create a "more comprehensive picture of how children are linking their learning experiences across home, school, and beyond, and the roles that adults play in helping children cultivate and bridge their interests." Knowing the role librarians play in fostering children's interest-driven learning, the center hopes to use this survey to gain stronger insights into the ways they encourage children's interest-driven learning and foster family engagement within their communities.
