A twist on "Build a Better World"
by Tamie Bird 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hi everyone, For summer reading this year the youth department at the William P. Faust Public Library in Westland decided to do something extra for this year's theme. We are teaming up with UNICEF Kid Power to make this year's Summer Reading theme "Build a Better World" a reality! We came across the UNICEF Kid Power bands while searching for summer reading ideas and we thought they would be a great way to emphasize to kids one way to make the world a better place! We (youth staff) are dividing into three teams to compete in a friendly competition to see which team can reach the largest step goal between the start and end of our Summer Reading Program. For each step taken while wearing the UNICEF Kid Power bands we will help to unlock lifesaving food packets for kids in need around the world! The kids at the library will be able to follow our teams' progress throughout summer. These bands are a great way to encourage kids to be active and learn that even they can help others around the world. The UNICEF Kid Power bands will be given as prizes at the end of the summer so that kids can continue the task of building a better world. We are so excited to be part of UNICEF Kid Power! To learn more about the bands go to: https://unicefkidpower.org/ Here are our team pictures :D [cid:image002.png@01D2E8FE.117B34B0][cid:image008.png@01D2E8FE.117B34B0][cid:image009.png@01D2E8FE.117B34B0] Tamie Bird Youth Librarian Westland Public Library 734-326-6123

Lemony Snicket Reception at ALA
by Robert P. Holley 17 Jun '17

17 Jun '17

I apologize in advance if this is not an appropriate request. I received an invitation to the Lemony Sincket reception at ALA, but somehow managed to delete it before adding it to my conference schedule. Does anyone know when and where it will take place because I had a good time attending last year and would like to go again. This recpetion is an open event and doesn't require a ticket. Last year, I walked in because it was next door to another meeting that I had just attended. Thanks for any help. Bob Robert P. Holley Professor Emeritus, Wayne State University 13303 Borgman Avenue Huntington Woods, MI 48070-1005 email: aa3805(a)wayne.edu phone: 248-547-0306

Reader's Advisory - Name That Book
by Sandi Blakney 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

I read a book in the late 1990's about an American nun who was a minimalist. I believed she lived in the southwestern US, and chose to live in the urban "inner-city" area she was ministering to. She strictly limited the number of possessions - I believe no more than ten books, two dresses, etc. (I can't remember the exact numbers, but it wasn't many per category). She came from a comfortable background, and wrote about her brother's displeasure in her giving away items she received as gifts. At one point, she mentioned he gave her monogrammed or personalized items, in the hopes that she would keep his gifts, but she commented that just made it more of a challenge to give away. She may have been a public speaker - she mentioned flying to a conference, and a child spilled something on her dress. Since it was one of few, that was a bigger deal than it might have been. I want to read this book again, and of course cannot remember its title or who wrote it. I have searched every which way, and I am coming up empty. I am hoping someone has read or heard of this book.
