Program Recommendation: Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words
by Brandi Tambasco 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Earlier this month, the Howell Carnegie District Library had Larry Martin present his Larry Martin's World War II In Their Own Words program in celebration of Veterans Day. For the last two decades, Mr. Martin has interviewed over 100 WWII veterans and, for 12 years, presented over 100 programs at libraries and organizations in Michigan featuring these filmed interviews. A Jackson, MI resident and Navy veteran himself, Mr. Martin is a retired Lansing firefighter and passionate, self-professed WWII junkie with an extensive collection of WWII memorabilia, which he displays and shares at his presentations. At our program this month, Mr. Martin showed his interview with Warner Klemm, a Navy veteran who survived Pearl Harbor and spoke about his experience during and immediately after that fatal bombing. We had a great turnout for this event, with plenty of veterans in the attendance. The audience feedback included requests to have him return for future library programs. Mr. Martin's website, www.lmww2.com, lists all of the veterans he has interviewed by name, service, front, and country. Check it out for more information on his program, including testimonials. Larry is very personable and knowledgeable; his presenter fee was reasonable; and he was a pleasure to work with. I know other libraries have had good experiences with his presentations, since I became aware of him through this listserv! (Thanks to everyone who has recommended him!) If you are interested in having Mr. Martin present at your library, he can be reached at batt.chief(a)yahoo.com. Happy Thanksgiving, Brandi Brandi Tambasco Adult Services Librarian Howell Carnegie District Library 314 W Grand River Howell, MI 48843 T: 517-546-0720 x131 F: 517-546-1494 tambasco(a)howelllibrary.org www.howelllibrary.org

ALA News for November 20, 2018
by Jennifer L. Dean 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Hello, all - I received the ALA News as embedded links this week. Forwarding as is - I hope this will display for you. Please let me know if this format does not work with your email reader. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday! I am thankful for all of you. Jennifer ALA president reminds members of professional EDI tools to address microaggressions, quash racial profiling<http://bit.ly/2Tu0JdQ> American Library Association (ALA) President Loida Garcia-Febo released the following statement regarding the association’s commitment to providing library professionals with resources that support equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). This statement comes on the heels of two incidents that involved library staff and patrons of color. “Libraries are places of opportunity for all who seek to better their lives through education and lifelong learning,” said Garcia Febo. “Regardless of race, gender identity, religion, or socio-economic status, all members of the community are welcome to use the library. As librarians and library workers, our core values fuel our efforts to be inclusive and sensitive to cultures other than our own. However, applying the nuances of equity, diversity, and inclusion to library service may pose a challenge for some. “In concert with leadership from ALA’s ethnic affiliates, I would like to extend an invitation to library professionals who seek to make their working environments, collections, and services more inclusive. ALA offers its members professional resources to assist with identifying and quashing racial profiling and microaggression. Through its Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services (ODLOS), members have access to a variety of EDI resources that support proactive preparedness, offer best practices to deal with racial incidents and issues, and address the needs of diverse communities. “I encourage our members to take full advantage of the variety of best practices and resources the ALA offers as we stand in solidarity with our members of color and concerned staff who wish to strengthen our nation through cultural understanding.” 2019 EMERGING LEADERS Helwick named YALSA’s 2019 Emerging Leader<http://bit.ly/2TvMTrw> Bianca Spurlock selected as 2019 AASL Emerging Leader<http://bit.ly/2Tw5a7K> Corey Hall selected as 2019 AASL Emerging Leader<http://bit.ly/2TvsPWb> AWARDS AND GRANTS Freedom to Read Foundation offers scholarships for courses on intellectual freedom and young adults<http://bit.ly/2TqSTl8> ALA PUBLISHING ALCTS surveys digital preservation in libraries<http://bit.ly/2TvyMlS> Imagining the archive of the future<http://bit.ly/2TuFMiY> ECOURSES AND WORKSHOPS How to market your library<http://bit.ly/2Tu1LXg> Getting started with library service design<http://bit.ly/2TvNrO6> Creating a digital media space for today's teens<http://bit.ly/2TovO2B> Managing children's collections from acquisition to weeding<http://bit.ly/2Tv4UWE> Taking STEAM programs to the next level<http://bit.ly/2Tt670N> Jennifer L.

New Library Building
by Katie Ester 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hello all, I am so pleased to announce that tonight the Shelby Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously to build a new Library at a cost not to exceed $11.2 million dollars. The presented plan is for a 25,000 square foot library to be built on the municipal grounds overlooking a beautiful park and small lake. At the meeting tonight, patrons showed up in droves to speak eloquently and passionately in support of the library. When the vote was final, the audience burst into cheers and applause. It was a night I’ll not soon forget. Happily, Katie Ester, Director Shelby Township Library
