NASA @ My Library update
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

NASA @ My Library<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_34169_86722--…> has launched here in Michigan, with program facilitation kits circulating to public libraries. In fact, they are so popular that there are currently no kits available until December 2019! In light of the popular demand, the Library of Michigan is working to build even more duplicate kits for circulation and hope to have them up for circulation on our KitKeeper<http://www.eventkeeper.com/kitkeeper/index.cfm?curOrg=michigan> site early on in the new year. In the meanwhile, if you would like to access to the Sun-Earth-Moon Connections facilitation notebook or the Be a NASA Detective: Expanding Your Senses notebook, please contact me directly, off-list. Both notebooks have a shopping list so you can build your own kit, if you have funds. (LSAT Public Library Services<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_77699---,00.h…> grant applications will be available this winter!) Even though the kits are booked, don't forget the amazing resources on http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/! Rummage through your craft storage and I bet you will have much of what you need to produce a NASA @ My Library programs in-house. Connect with experts: NASA's Night Sky Network<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2018_NSN-Flyer-MI_6…> (NSN) is a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs bringing science, technology, and inspiration of NASA's missions to the general public. Go to bit.ly/FindNSN<https://nightsky.jpl.nasa.gov/clubs-and-events.cfm> to find a NSN club near you for possible collaborations! NASA's Solar System Ambassadors<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2018_SSA-Flyer-MI_6…> (SSA) is a program of volunteers that shares the latest in NASA's science and discoveries of their space exploration missions through events in their communities. For the SSA Directory for volunteers in your area go to: solarsystem.nasa.gov/ssa<https://solarsystem1.jpl.nasa.gov/ssa/home.cfm>.

December Library Law Spotlight Webinar- – Service, Therapy & Emotional Support: What’s a Library to do?
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Greetings! The Library of Michigan is offering a 45 minute Library Law Spotlight Webinar – Service, Therapy & Emotional Support: What’s a Library to do? This Webinar will be held on 12/19/2018 at 10:30am – 11:15am ET Service Animals have always been welcome in the library, and have always represented a specific service. Widespread use of animals as therapeutic treatments for emotional and mental injuries have muddied the term "Service Animal," and caused confusion for places of public accommodations with respect to what is required and what is optional. At the end of this 45 minute webinar, participants will: · The legal differences between Service Animals and other types of therapeutic animals · The appropriate methods that can be used to discern animals that are not Service Animals · The factors to consider when drafting a policy addressing Service Animals and other therapeutic animals. Register for the December Library Law Spotlight Webinar: Service, Therapy & Emotional Support: What’s a Library to do?<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/eventReg.jsp?event=96&> There is no charge for this webinar – but you must register!<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/eventReg.jsp?event=96&> *NOTE: The Library of Michigan is using a new product for presenting webinars. The product is called ZOOM, and it functions much like Adobe Connect (LM’s former product). Participants will be asked to download the Zoom client (like they did the Adobe Connect client). This should present few to no issues, but thought it would be prudent to let you know! Please let me know if you have any questions – and I look forward to the webinar! Thanks! Clare
