Trying to Decide Where to Use a LM Continuing Education Stipend? Try These!!
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Greetings! Applications for this quarter's Continuing Education Stipends are due by June 30. Trying to decide what event to attend? Past stipend recipients have this to say: MAME Annual October Michigan Association for Media in Education's (MAME) 45th Annual Conference kicked off with a bang this year! Colby Sharp, our opening keynote, talked about the importance of book access for all students. School libraries play a pivotal role in ensuring literacy for all of our students. Having a full-time certified media specialist is a game changer in every school. While book access is a high priority, media specialists do so much more than just helping students look for books. At the conference there were sessions on digital literacy, media literacy, and all things technology. Virtual reality sessions happened both days and merge cubes, a tool for augmented reality, were available for purchase in the garage sale. The use of technology tools play a big role in the library and a session on MITECS encouraged understanding the curriculum behind the technology tools and how best to integrate it in the classroom. Other sessions included book talks, instructions on doing a digital breakout, and shop talks with different librarians based on grade levels. Roundtable talks included learning how to lesson plan with planbook.com and learning how to integrate Gale resources into Schoology. MLA Annual October This year's MLA Conference 2018 was my first time ever attending a library conference. I learned many new insights that I will apply to my recently acquired position as Youth Services Supervisor at Charlevoix Public Library. I am excited to implement some of the programming techniques and knowledge about the Read by 3rd Grade Law in Michigan to our programming and community collaborations for our patrons. MLA Annual Conference was an opportunity for me to reflect on the services that my library offers, and to learn about new ideas that are being implemented at other libraries. YALSA Symposium November Attending the 2017 YALSA Symposium in Louisville, KY was a wonderful experience. The conference, which took place over the course of 3 days, provided a variety of programs and lectures related to youth services. Participants were able to pick from topics focused around key issues in the field. I was able to glean many ideas that our library will be able to apply to youth programing and collections. When I registered for the YALSA Symposium that was to be held in Pittsburgh this year, I wasn't sure what to expect. The different sessions had names like "Power of 'ProTeen" and "Building their Own World: Teen- Driven Community Engagement," which excited me because my main goal was to learn how to better serve my teens. I expected to come away from each session with a better idea of how to connect with my teens, plan programming, and find resources. That ended up being completely true but what I didn't expect was to learn as much as I did from my fellow symposium attendees. I've returned home with a whole new perspective on how to do my job and a new excitement to work with teens. I really enjoyed being able to attend YALSA Symposium. I was able to learn so much and come back with so many ideas for things to try in my library with Teens. I am excited to see how these tools and resources can help engage the teens in our community and provide them with better programming and resources. Library Marketing and Communications Conference November The 2018 Library Marketing and Communications Conference held in St. Louis November 14 and 15 proved to be an information-packed event that resulted in a legal pad's worth of inspiration, guidance and encouragement. Michigan public, academic and school library staff are eligible to apply for continuing education stipends. The program details and criteria can be found at https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LSTA_Continuing_Educat…. Stipend amounts are as follows: o In State Event - One Day $300 o In State Event - Two Days $600 o In State Event - Three Days $900 o In State Travel Support - Only if event site is more than 150 Miles from the Attendee's Library one way. $150 o Out of State Event $1,600 o Webinar/Online Class Actual Registration amount - Not to Exceed $500 (Receipt must accompany Knowledge sharing form) Please note: the deadline to apply for a stipend is June 30. If you have any question not found in the Program Details and Criteria document located at the above URL, please feel free to contact me. 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. Evette M.

Daycare Question
by ehansen＠vicksburglibrary.org 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Hello all, I have a question, and I need a little guidance about where the professional standard might be. We have a local daycare that is requesting to visit the library on three occasions per week, for approximately one hour. We are happy to provide services for elementary aged children, and I have a great YA and Children's Librarian to help. However, I am concerned they are looking for free ways to provide services at their for-profit business. So, do any of you have experience with this sort of thing?

Well, act now, because we have five positions open through tomorrow (Friday): https://btpl.org/employment-volunteer/ Why do we have so many positions open? Because we're a really big library with a lot of staff, so changes happen. I've considered chaining employees to bookcases, but this would only be so helpful if they needed to leave their bookcase. Also, chains are a tripping hazard. Best Regards, Linden Godlove Administrative Assistant Bloomfield Township Public Library

A Chance to Share and Help
by Jessica Curtis 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Please excuse cross-postings Dear Fellow Library Staff, Were you ever thrown into the deep end when it came to designing or enacting library programming or classes? Are you a library associate who is expected to create programs, but you’ve never received formal training? Our Ohio ILEAD<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/training-and-professional-d…> group is creating a website where everyone can go to download free forms and guides, provided by libraries such as yours, on how to create and run library programs and classes. Would you be willing to share your library’s (or your personal) worksheet, checklist, form, or tool that you use to guide employees through the process of creating and producing a library program? The materials will be credited to your library (or if you want, you personally) and made available for free download on the site. These materials would be organized into type and made available on www.libraryprogramhelper.org<http://www.libraryprogramhelper.org/>. It will go live in a few weeks as we gather content. Another email will go out when the site goes live. Many of us know that feeling of not knowing where to start with programs or what all is required to make it a success. Please lend your support and help out library staff that are new to program creation by sharing your materials and tools. If you are interested, please send PDFs or Docs to libraryprogramhelper(a)gmail.com<mailto:libraryprogramhelper@gmail.com>. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Jessica Curtis Adult Reference Librarian Ohio ILEAD Participant libraryprogramhelper(a)gmail.com
