In order to update this basic but vital data to reflect the current state of our holdings; to have it conform with current professional best-practice; and to have it recorded completely within our collections management system, the Archives & Library at The Henry Ford has initiated a multi-year project to survey our archival storage areas on a shelf-by-shelf, aisle-by-aisle basis.

FYI - If you are in any of the communities listed below the opportunity for collaboration with STEM programming just got even more exciting! Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48915 LancasterC5(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LancasterC5@michigan.gov> | 517-335-8129 | www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan<http://www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan> Follow us: Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/libraryofmichigan/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/libraryofmich> | Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/libraryofmichigan/> [MDE Logo] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Gov. Snyder's MiSTEM Advisory Council Awards $2.85M to 34 STEM Projects January 19, 2018 LANSING - Thirty-four Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs are sharing $2.85 million in state grants from Governor Rick Snyder's MiSTEM Advisory Council, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. The state Legislature set aside $2.85 million in 2017-18 to distribute grants up to $100,000 for the implementation of STEM programs listed in the STEMworks database. The MiSTEM Advisory Council selected the awardees, whose funding ranges from $24,000 to $100,000, from 134 applications seeking more than $10 million. The applications came from local and intermediate school districts (ISDs), universities, and STEM providers "STEM education is critically important to a student's success later in life," Governor Snyder said. "Thank you to my partners in the state Legislature and the Department of Education for ensuring that more Michigan students will have access to these STEM skills." The MiSTEM Advisory Council said in a statement: "The Council would like to thank the Governor for the leadership and vision to propel STEM education down a new and exciting path. The legislature has stepped up to the challenge and appropriated funds to support this shift in culture, enabling STEM programming around the state to benefit from proven best practices. "As proud as we may be about this initial success, we are even more encouraged by the widespread potential that will be harnessed and directed toward the further advancement of STEM education for all of the students throughout the state." State Superintendent Brian Whiston said the grants' STEM focus will help Michigan become a Top 10 education state in 10 years - the central goal of the Michigan Department of Education. The grants align with the Top 10 plan's goal of implementing high-quality classroom instruction through a child-centered instructional model with a strategy to enable public schools' students to engage in integrated STEM programming. In weighing the applications, the MiSTEM Advisory Council considered reviewer ratings, program type, and distribution across the MiSTEM Network Regions. Two successful applicants, Oakland Schools and West Shore ESD, received multiple awards to provide professional development in regions other than their own. They are using the funding to build on statewide work underway for several years with seed funding from other sources. Here is the list of 10 ISDs, 10 local districts and three STEM education provider applications selected for funding: Organization Region STEMworks Program Amount Lakeview Sch. District (Calhoun) Region 1 - Southwest Michigan PLTW $94,340 Oakland Schools Region 2 - South Central Michigan Modeling MS Science - Jackson/Lansing $100,000 Brighton Area Schools Region 2 - South Central Michigan PLTW $53,007 National Inventors Hall of Fame, Inc.

Historical collection policies?
by a.glass fowlervillelibrary.org 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Hello, The Fowlerville District Library will soon be moving to a larger building that will include a room for our Historical Collection. We would like to develop a policy about the use of the historical room and materials. In the past we had an issue with historical items being stolen, and would like to do our best to prevent any more of these irreplaceable items from disappearing. Do any other libraries have a policy about the use of their historical collection that you would be willing to share? We would appreciate any suggestions you can give! Thank you! Sincerely, Audrey Glass Programming Assistant Fowlerville District Library
