National Teen Lockin Volunteers for 2018
by Erin Durrett 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Good Afternoon, The National Teen Lockin is starting to plan NTL 2018. We are looking for a few virtual volunteers to assist with planning Author Chats, Online Connections, and other committees. If you can contribute even a few hours of time between now and the end of July, please consider joining us. If interested, please fill out our Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/ d/1LkkqcRW0KxW3NfqD30OfsJYz-iDCBhc0qzc_o0taYNI If you are unfamiliar with the National Teen Lockin, we are a 100% volunteer run annual program in our 5th year that encourages libraries across the country to plan a synchronous teen program on a particular day. Here is a blurb from our 2017 wiki: NTL 2017 will happen on Friday, July 28th but the timing of your event is completely up to you. Some libraries do all night events. Some do after-hours only. Participating libraries do not have a required number of hours or participants to be a part of NTL. The gaming, author chats, and online connections are synchronous, but those are scheduled (to the greatest degree possible) so that libraries in all time zones can participate. The photo scavenger hunt, minute-to-win-it, and craft activities can happen anytime on July 28th! Make NTL work for your library! Thanks! Erin Durrett (NTL Co-Chair 2018) *Erin Durrett* edurrett(a)fpl.info Digital Learning Specialist Flint Public Library 1026 E. Kearsley Flint MI 48503 (810)-232-7111 <%28810%29%20232-7111>

Money Smart Week 2018
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

The Library of Michigan encourages libraries to join Michigan's 2018 Money Smart Week campaign. Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2017, Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting Money Smart Kids Read and encouraging you to request free copies of Lots and Lots of Coins by Margarette S. Reid, for your Money Smart Week story times. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in once again helping coordinate this program for Michigan Libraries, and the Michigan Credit Union Foundation for their generous donation of books. For more information and details on how your library can receive copies of Lots and Lots of Coins for your Money Smart Week story time program, submit your request at the following link before December 31, 2017: http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h * Randy Riley, State Librarian --------------------------------------------------- DETAILS: Michigan's Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is just around the corner and we have a fabulous opportunity for you to obtain, read and give away free books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others. These groups work together each year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 21-28, 2018. Between April 21-28, 2018, libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of Lots and Lots of Coins, to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a money-themed story time event during Money Smart Week, April 21-28, 2018. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/298788/lots-and-lots-of-coins-by-m… The Michigan Credit Union Foundation has generously offered to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. More than 200 Michigan libraries successfully participated in "Money Smart Kids Read" last year! What does it mean to "participate" you ask? 1. Register as a Money Smart Week Partner today at http://www.moneysmartweek.org/partners_signup. (Note: if you registered as a MSW partner last year, your login username and password should still be valid. Please test this before you attempt to enter your story time details, just in case you need to reset your password or re-register.) 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 21-28, 2018. Recommended age for Lots and Lots of Coins is 5 - 8 years old. The story line and supplemental activities can be "aged up" or "aged down" to the age and knowledge level of your participants. 3. Request to participate in this initiative, and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this questionnaire before December 31, 2017. http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h 4. Between January 15th and March 31st, login and register your story time event(s) details at http://www.MoneySmartWeek.org/. 5. Proactively promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through all your channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) If someone from your local credit union reaches out to you, please be sure to engage them. 7. Take delivery of your books late March, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Lots and Lots of Coins book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, sing money songs, do finger plays, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers. From the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, in April you'll receive an email notice of where to submit. Yep. It can be that easy. (Although, if you want to plan more money-related events for youth or adults, we can help you with that too! Email the Chair and she can share a children's librarian list of ideas with you.) There must be a catch, right? Here it is: By December 31, 2017, the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many free copies of the book you can use! There is a limited quantity, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to the Novi Public Library (thank you Julie Farkas!), sorted, packaged, and distributed through the state-wide RIDES/TLN delivery service. Your order should arrive at your library around March 30, 2018. Please complete the questionnaire to request participation in Michigan's Money Smart Kids Read initiative, and obtain free books for families in your community. http://bit.ly/2iC6Z1h Questions about this initiative or Money Smart Week in general?

Free Spine Label Sets
by Darwin McGuire 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

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.

Donation policy
by Don Priest 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi, I'm interested in hearing what policies libraries have regarding donations (if any). We receive an almost unmanageable amount of donations, and I'm hoping to find a way to cut the tide, without simply refusing to take them. Do you impose limitations on the age, quality, or relevance of items? Quantity? If you have limitations, do you recommend other nearby places that may be interested in taking the donations instead? Thanks for any info you can give me! Don Priest Southgate Veterans Memorial Library 14680 Dix-Toledo Rd. Southgate, MI 48195 734-258-3002 ext. 3202
