New Author/Illustrator Tour for Ready to Read MI!
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

[https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/MILOM/2015/01/4171…] Author & Illustrator Tour Announcement [RTRM Logo]The Library of Michigan has announced the new Ready to Read Michigan<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…>, a program designed for public libraries to encourage families and caregivers to read aloud regularly to children during the early stages of life (birth up to age 5), as it ensures the development of early literacy skills and instills a love of reading. The program is designed for public librarians to model early literacy skill development directly to families and engage in outreach to early childhood centers, Great Start & Head Start classrooms, and daycares throughout their community. [IGTR]The first book selected for public library outreach is "I Got the Rhythm" by Connie Schofield-Morrison<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…> and illustrated by Frank Morrison<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…>. The author/illustrator tour is hosted by public libraries during "March is Reading Month" to promote the importance of reading aloud to young children throughout the state. The Library of Michigan is looking for public libraries which would like to have the author and illustrator visit on March 19-22, 2018. Libraries must be able to coordinate the event with a local early childhood center, daycare, Great State, Head Start, preschool or kindergarten class(es). If you would like your public library to be considered as a host, please complete the Ready to Read Michigan Tour Visit 2018<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…> form by December 8, 2018. We will select event locations based on the author & illustrator's schedule, the location of the library, and the library's ability to secure a community partner to bring in an audience or plan to host the visit at a local early childhood center. We will try to reach as many areas of the state as possible with up to 10 visits. The Library of Michigan will make scheduling arrangements with the author and illustrator to pay their honorarium. Funding for Ready to Read Michigan is provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with additional support provided by Consumers Energy and the Library of Michigan Foundation.

Wheelchair for public use
by Patricia Braden 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a wheelchair for the public to use while in the library? If so, for what purpose is it used? We have a patron who is requesting that we get one and I'm wondering if others have had the same request and if you have one already. If you have one, were you able to get it donated? Thanks, Patty Patty Braden, Director Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 734-942-7589 www.romuluslibrary.org

My Britannica Accounts - MeL UPDATE
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello Friends!! For those of you who may be training teachers on how to use Britannica School, they have just made things a little bit easier! When setting up a "My Britannica" account, Britannica has eliminated the need for a school code for the educator account. Now, educators just need to enter in a username, password, and email address, plus check off "Educator" in the sign up box. (Reminder - usernames cannot contain any spaces.) Students just need to enter a username, password, and check off "Student" in the sign up box. The My Britannica Educator account allows access to over 16,000 lesson plans plus curriculum standards alignment. Plus, My Britannica users can create and share Resource Packs, which is an excellent tool in the K-12 classroom. If you would like to learn more about using Britannica School, or any of the great MeL databases, please check out the Training Toolkit <http://teachers.mel.org/training-toolkit> in the MeL Teachers portal (teachers.mel.org<http://teachers.mel.org>). -- Christine Schneider K-12 Education Specialist Michigan eLibrary [http://www.michigan.gov/images/MEL_LOGO_25435_7.jpg] Michigan eLibrary, a program of the Library of Michigan and part of the Michigan Department of Education http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan 702 W Kalamazoo St, Lansing, MI 48915 (m) 248-305-0231<tel:(248)%20305-0231> Our collective efforts can help make Michigan a Top 10 education state in 10 years!

The labels have all been spoken for. Thanks for your interest. Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave. Flint, MI 48504 Tel. 810-230-3329 FAX 810-732-1161 From: Darwin McGuire Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 9:49 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: Free Spine Label Sets Hi, everyone. We're cleaning out a supply cabinet this morning and came across some spine label/pocket label sets that somebody in library land can use. They are Demco item WS12305530, "Continuous Processing Labels, Style SLB." https://www.demco.com/goto?PRD12305530&s=12305530 Labels are 1 5/8" high, spine label is 7/8" wide and the pocket label is 2 7/8" wide. They are on continuous feed paper, 4 ¾" wide. There are 1000 labels to a box, and we have 20 boxes. These labels are about 10 years old, but they seem to be fine-the adhesive is still good. If you want any or all, please let me know. For free. Really. Please take them. You might need them someday... Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave. Flint, MI 48504 Tel. 810-230-3329 FAX 810-732-1161
