Plan a "Meet Up & Eat Up" at your Libraries!

[MDE Logo] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Can You Help Hungry Children This Summer? MDE Seeks More Partners to Expand Access to Summer Meals January 25, 2018 LANSING - More partners are needed to help feed hungry young mouths in this year's statewide Meet Up and Eat Up(tm) Summer Food Service Program, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. "Many families across Michigan struggle with food security, and there is no reason that children should go hungry when programs like this are available," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. "I strongly encourage schools, local governments, churches, and community organizations to step up by supporting the Summer Food Service Program for a positive impact on the health and lives of children in their community. "Aligning with Michigan's plan to become a Top 10 education state in 10 years, feeding children throughout the year is key to reducing the impact of high-risk factors such as poverty, and providing equal resources to meet the needs of all children and ensure access to quality educational opportunities," Whiston added. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. Many summer food sites also provide educational enrichment and recreational activities in addition to meals and snacks, helping children continue to learn and stay safe when school is not in session. The program operates in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities, preventing more than half a million children in Michigan from going hungry each year after school lunchrooms close for summer break. In 2017, 517,000 low-income Michigan children received meals during the school year, while only around 99,000, or 19 percent, received free meals or snacks at about 1,850 approved summer meal sites in their communities. MDE is recruiting new partners to help fill this summer hunger gap, and to help reduce the resulting risk of summer learning loss. The impact of summer learning loss on low-income children is dramatic. According to the Afterschool Alliance, such children typically lose more than two months of reading achievement and math skills, in addition to one month of spelling skills, during summer break. Further, research shows a direct relationship between good nutrition and learning, making Meet Up and Eat Up a key building block in Michigan communities to develop healthy, happy kids ready to learn. With more partners and community involvement, especially in many rural areas, Michigan can reach a national goal of providing nutritious meals to 40 percent of children who are eligible for free or reduced-priced summer meals, and in so doing, draw an additional $11 million in federal funding to the state. Sponsors of summer feeding sites receive federal reimbursement for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals. All sponsors receive free training and technical assistance from MDE. For more information on joining the SFSP, please contact MDE at 517-373-3347 or mde-sfsp(a)michigan.gov<mailto:mde-sfsp@michigan.gov> by March 15, 2018. For more information on the SFSP, visit here<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…>. The SFSP, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. # # # [Meet Up and Eat Up] * SFSP+press+release+2018.pdf<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…> ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo]<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…> Questions?

Responses to "Making OCI Yearbooks Available on your Website."
by Julie Censke 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

Good Afternoon, Several people on this listserve asked me to share the responses I received regarding making OCI yearbooks available on a website. They are listed below. 1. We put ours on archive.org and have the links on our website. I requested release forms from the school district superintendents and did not post any recent yearbooks that have current students so that no one who is currently under 18 would have their picture online. 2. I processed the TIF files we received from OCI and made the yearbooks into PDF files using Adobe Acrobat, and then made those available on the web through our Omeka site for local history stuff. You can use Omeka for free and host the content on your own server, but they do charge a hosting fee if you want them to host the content. It's just one of many ways you could make them available! I'm behind on getting all of the yearbooks up there, and ultimately, I think we're only going to make available up to 1940, for privacy reasons (1940 being the most recent census data available). I don't see why you couldn't just list them on a webpage as well in your WordPress site, rather than using a service like Omeka... Omeka just makes it easier to search within files, which WordPress likely won't do. 3. We are in the process of getting them ready, but will have them on the website using the free digital repository software from George Mason University, Omeka (https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fomeka.org%2…) It’s similar to ContentDM, but not ridiculously expensive. Since the yearbooks aren’t public yet, I can’t show you, but here’s an example of another PDF document: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.branch… Not all of our yearbooks were OCR’d by OCI, so they were not all searchable by default. Our workflow has included doing the OCR on the ones that needed it, then doing some conversion of all the PDFs to make the file sizes smaller before we post them. Once they are there, Omeka lets you search by keyword and also create custom exhibits and stuff like that. We have good Internet connection and in-house web server, so we’re not worried about the bandwidth at this point. Thank you to everyone that responded.

Key attributes for this position include the ability to foster a team environment, enthusiasm and passion for innovative library services, and a commitment to being a strong community partner. ASCPL, a county district system serving 377,588 residents, is governed by a seven-member Board and supported by a staff of 307 FTE with an annual operating budget of $31 million. The community supports its Library. Seventy percent of voters approved a 2015 levy which makes up 55% of the operating budget. There is also strong support from the Library's Friends groups. The Library provides stellar service to diverse communities-both urban and suburban-through 17 neighborhood branches and the downtown Main Library, and has been recognized as a Star Library by Library Journal each year since 2009. Located about 30 miles south of Cleveland, Akron is the historic center of the tire and rubber industry and was once known as the "Rubber Capital of the World."

Nature lover, arts enthusiast, sports fan, or history buff? Akron has something for you! The area is home to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio's only national park, as well as many historic sites, such as Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens and Hale Farm and Village. The Akron Art Museum and Akron Zoo are highly regarded cultural keystones. Akron's local music scene is known for having produced many iconic musicians, including James Ingram, Devo, Chrissie Hynde, and the Black Keys. The city also enjoys Blossom Music Center, the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra; Porthouse Theatre, a venue for outdoor enjoyment of the performing arts; and E.J. Thomas Hall, which brings Broadway theater and other entertainment to Akron. Sporting attractions include the AA baseball Akron RubberDucks, Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament, and First Energy All-American Soap Box Derby. Educational opportunities abound with excellent public and private schools and several well-regarded universities, including The University of Akron and Kent State University with its notable MLIS program. There is more to explore beyond Summit County: Akron's proximity to Cleveland offers access to the world-class Cleveland Museum of Art and Cleveland Orchestra; professional sports teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indians, and Browns; and many other outstanding amenities, including a professional theater district known as "Playhouse Square."
