Holiday Cookie Exchange or Swap Program
by Betsy Myers 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

Has anyone ever had a successful one at their library for patrons? What were the pros and cons? I would like to do one but am having trouble wrapping my brain around it. Here are my thoughts: Invite patrons and have them register beforehand so we will know how many cookies they will need to bring (and so there is not duplicate cookies). If we set the limit to 24, then they would bring 4 dozen cookies. Two dozen will be for tasting and the other two would be for take home. After the tasting is done, they would be allowed to take home one cookie from each maker along with the recipe. They would essentially bring home 2 dozen cookies. (If my math is correct). We could also have people tell a bit about why they chose that particular cookie to make and if there is some tradition or meaning behind it. We could also vote for your favorite at the same time. Lots of possibilities but my main struggle is the exchange itself. Does that make sense? Or do you have any suggestions? I am looking for quick and easy but fun as well. Thank you! -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502

by HSM Main 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. Lansing, MI 48911 Contact: Nancy Feldbush (517) 324-1828 <mailto:feldbush@hsmichigan.org> feldbush(a)hsmichigan.org For Immediate Release Two Michigan teachers selected to compete for coveted national award LANSING, Mich.-From the scores of educators who participated in Michigan History DayR (National History Day in Michigan), the Historical Society of Michigan, administrator of the program, has selected two teachers to vie for the Harris History Teacher of the Year award during the National History Day competitions, which take place in College Park, Maryland, June 10-14, 2018. Jennifer Gradowski of Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Bay City was chosen for the junior division, and John Beck of Heritage Christian Academy in Kalamazoo was selected for the senior division. The Harris History Teacher of the Year award is sponsored by James F. Harris and awarded to one middle school and one high school teacher annually. The two national winners will be announced on June 14. To be selected to compete for the teacher of the year award, an educator must demonstrate a commitment to engaging students in historical learning through innovative use of primary sources, implementation of active learning strategies to foster historical thinking skills, and participation in the National History Day Contest. A team of teachers and historians choose the two national winners, who will receive $5,000 each in addition to the coveted title of teacher of the year. The History Day program offers a fascinating opportunity to move beyond routine learning. Based on an annual theme, students choose to explore and research a local, national or international historical topic. The theme for 2018 is Conflict & Compromise in History. Michigan's 59 student state finalists will present their work in one of five categories-performances, exhibits, papers, websites and documentaries-at the National History Day competition. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

If your submission is chosen, you will have your name and library system listed in the chapter which includes the submission! 2018 Summer Reading Manual Rocks! by Anne Lemay, Head of Youth Services, Franklin Township Library, NJ We had scheduled a Make & Take program for children at the Franklin Township Public Library in Somerset, NJ, and unfortunately the librarian scheduled to do the program was out on Bereavement leave. With such short notice, I browsed through the 2018 children’s manual and found the Bird Callers in Chapter 4, Sounds and Nature. The children present were ages 4 – 6 years of age, and the parents were there to help. It was a HUGE hit! First, we looked at the National Audubon Society app recommended in that chapter. One dad downloaded it on the spot! We listened to some bird calls, looking in particular for birds that might be in our backyards. Then we went to the activity tables where they colored their craft sticks using colored pencils (my addition to the manual activity). Most of the children put pretty patterns on theirs. After that, we assembled the bird callers. It took a few tries, especially for the younger ones, to make the bird caller respond, but even the youngest in the group were able to make them work. The fact that the manual included the science tips was another timesaving bonus – I could share it without having to look it up ahead of time. Kids and parents had a blast! One mom, who is a teacher, said, "This is fabulous! Where do you get your ideas?" Of course, I told her about the CSLP summer reading program and the manual! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/4d2b8dd6-c84…] Some tips if you do this program: * Allow a half hour to 45 minutes, depending on how many birds you find on the app first. * We used soft and waxy colored pencils to give a good finish on the craft sticks. * We also precut the paper strips, but let the children and parents fold them. * Tell the children to hold the bird caller with their fingers on the rubber band. * Have them just rest their lips gently against the other end and blow. * If no sound is heard, adjust the rubber band slightly – it shouldn’t be too tight. * For better sound, separate the folded paper and the craft sticks slightly on one end so the air can pass over and under it. * Blowing at different spots can change the sound, making it higher or lower. * Blowing in the rhythm of a certain bird call makes the caller sound more authentic. * Extend the activity by sending the families home with the Bird Scavenger Hunt found on page 154 so they can explore their own neighborhoods. Reading Rocks at the Black River Falls Public Library! Youth Services Coordinator Rhonda Gorth reports that they are already generating excitement for this summer's reading program at the Black River Falls Public Library, WI. They have created a large cardboard standup for a fun photo opt. Children are encouraged to autograph the picture when they visit the library, and many class visits have already taken place. We look forward seeing the "after" shot in August! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/9eea559f-3be…] Is your library ready to rock?
