ALA News for July 31, 2018 NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ALA report shares findings, illustrates successes from 10 years of the American Dream Literacy Initiative A newly released American Library Association (ALA) report marks the 10th anniversary of the American Dream Literacy Initiative and celebrates the many ways that participating public libraries have transformed lives, strengthened their communities, and advocated tirelessly for adult literacy and lifelong learning. Funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, the American Dream Literacy Initiative offers grants to U.S. public libraries to expand services for adult English language learners (ELL) or adults in need of basic education and workforce development. More than $1.5 million in funding has been distributed to 188 libraries since the program’s inception, reaching approximately 25,000 English language learners. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/07/ala-report-shares-findings-i… United for Libraries to designate the Dr. Benjamin E.

Mays Historical Preservation Site in Greenwood, S.C., a Literary Landmark at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 1. Coming from impoverished, humbled beginnings, Dr. Mays (1894-1984) is remembered as an influential activist, intellectual, minister and leader during the civil rights movement, becoming one of the greatest international mentors of his generation. He became president of Morehouse College in 1940, where Dr. Martin Luther King graduated in 1948. King cited Mays as a mentor and father-figure. Mays published nearly 2000 articles and nine books throughout his career. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/07/united-libraries-designate-d… University of Wisconsin-Madison chosen as site for 2019 Arbuthnot Lecture The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) announced that the 2019 May Hill Arbuthnot Committee has selected the University of Wisconsin at Madison as the host site for the 2019 May Hill Arbuthnot Honor Lecture featuring advocate and educator Debbie Reese, PhD.

You'll gain an understanding of how CoLABs have been used in communities to reveal hidden assets as well as guidance on how their How-To-Do-It Manual can be used to facilitate these workshops. Interaction with strangers cultivates creativity and provides opportunities for joining forces to achieve great ends. However, most people tend to avoid talking or working with people they do not know, whether in the library, a classroom, or in academic and nonprofit settings. And to do so is to short-circuit much of the creative potential that is so necessary for innovation, and that organizational stakeholders crave.

Each of the 175 participants were given a drum or percussion instrument to play, creating an engaging drum circle filled with energy, passion and smiles. Turner brought so much joy and passion for drumming to those attending his program. From the moment children and families walked in the door, they were encouraged to start drumming, playing and rattling to find their own rhythm and groove. Turner did a wonderful job of transforming a group of musical rookies into a harmonious community ensemble. The giggles, roars of laughter and smiles on the faces of participating children and adults made the program unforgettable. Watching the parents and grandparents get on their feet and dance with their children, was priceless. The group learned different types of movements and rhythms and were encouraged to continue the experience at home; dancing and creating music with everyday objects around the house.

Medalist institutions exceed typical levels of community outreach by supporting community cohesion and helping to catalyze positive change. Winners’ collaborative, adaptive programs, co-created with their communities, demonstrate exemplary service. Nominees should review the I<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FM1IeuxtFS9WNy7v9CJP3GgIuLpekKORc02g7XLB7zDy…>MLS Strategic Plan<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FM1IeuxtFS9WNy7v9CJP3GgIuLpekKORc02g7XLB7zDy…> and highlight how their work aligns with the goals of promoting lifelong learning, building institutional capacity, and increasing access to their information and collections. Successful applications will showcase how their work with these contexts is making a difference for their communities. This year, IMLS is particularly interested in library or museum programs that enhance services for veterans and military families, sustain growth opportunities for diverse youth and young professionals, or provide assistance to diverse youth, families, or seniors.
