The Icebreaker Mackinaw The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw was built during World War II to keep wintertime shipping lanes open. Wartime demands for steel required ships to sail year-round with cargos of iron ore, limestone, and coal. The icebreaker Mackinaw was commissioned in 1944. From her home port of Cheboygan, Michigan, she kept Great Lakes shipping lanes open until a new Mackinaw replaced her in 2006.

MeL Minute: Meet MeL's New Engagement Specialists
by Breed, Liz (MDE) 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Greetings! We are excited to officially introduce the Michigan library community to the new MeL Engagement Specialists who started their positions with the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) at the beginning of December. Please join us in welcoming Theresa and Ann! My name is Theresa Runyan and my position, Michigan eLibrary Engagement Specialist for Public Libraries at MCLS is not [Theresa Runyan] only new to me, it's new to MCLS. My job, in a nutshell, will be to assist and support the public library community with the Michigan eLibrary resources: how to use them and how to make them work for their patrons and themselves. My most recent experience has been with the Jackson District Library, where I served as a Branch Manager, Circulation Coordinator and Customer Service Specialist. I have a strong background in management, training, end-user trouble shooting, and marketing. I'm looking forward to working with all of you in this new position. So, please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions (runyant(a)mcls.org<mailto:runyant@mcls.org>; 800-530-9019 x151) or to set up a visit (https://mcls.org/melrequest<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…>). [Ann Kaskinen]My name is Ann Kaskinen, and I am the new MeL Engagement Specialist, K12 for MCLS. While I received a library degree from Central Michigan University and have worked as a K12 Library-Media Specialist for nearly 16 years, I started my career teaching high school English, social studies, and public speaking. I have also served as a consultant for Allegan AESA and Traverse Bay Area ISD. More recently, I completed an internship at the Kalamazoo Public Library and served as teen librarian for Bay County Public Library in Panama City, Florida. As an advocate of MeL for most of my career, I am more than excited to assist school personnel with the navigation of the new eResources that can support K12 curriculum. I know it can be a challenge finding and utilizing new tools for instruction, but the new suite of EBSCO databases does not disappoint. I can't wait to share these new resources with you! If you have questions or would like to set up an on-site visit, please do not hesitate to reach out to me (kaskinena(a)mcls.org<mailto:kaskinena@mcls.org> ; 800-530-9019 x150) or to set up a visit (https://mcls.org/melrequest<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…>). Brought to you by the MeL Team Supporting Michigan Libraries by Putting You First. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or for Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, visit http://mel.org<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…>, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…>.

Did you know that Michigan library staff have free access to all of WebJunction’s webinars and online courses? Please check out the highlighted content and upcoming webinars below. For a full list of available continuing education, visit WebJunction.org<http://www.webjunction.org/>. Highlighted Content on WebJunction * Supercharge Your Storytime with Parent and Caregiver Tips<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webjun…>: Intentionally sharing tips with parents and caregivers at storytime can be a great way to expand learning from library to home. Storytime providers are well-positioned to make the connection between what we know about early literacy development and how adults can help boost that development during the rest of the day. * Breaking Bread with Anything Libraries<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webjun…>: Bread has been a major staple of the human diet for thousands of years - in fact, consumption of grains can be traced as far back as the Middle Stone Age. And while this simple combination of flour, water, salt and yeast can yield many different styles and types of the food, one thing is certain: bread has played in instrumental role in bringing people together. With this concept in mind, Maria Mayo, adult guide at Anythink Wright Farms, launched "Community Voices," an ongoing series that explores the ways in which strangers can explore and share the things that they have in common with one another. Free WebJunction Webinars for You These 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://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flearn.webju…>.

Health Literacy Begins at Your Library Tuesday, January 8, 2019 ♦ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ♦ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/health-literacy-begins-at-yo…<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webjun…> Your library can play a central role in promoting the health and wellness of its community through fostering higher health literacy. This means increasing people’s capacity to obtain and understand basic health information that leads to appropriate health decisions and connection with services. Library programs directed toward children, teens, adults, and families deliver credible health information and activities that boost wellness. The Oklahoma Department of Libraries has fostered health literacy throughout the state, forging partnerships at state and local levels. Learn how one library in Miami, Oklahoma, made health literacy a central part of its operations, offering everything from diabetes prevention to yoga classes, as well healthy cooking demonstrations and even a community garden. Get ideas for simple (but powerful) health literacy programs you can offer at your library regardless of your size or budget.
