Taking action for E-Rate
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

[Take Action For Libraries] Advocacy Alert: E-rate [Library Funding]At the end of September, the FCC launched a Public Notice asking for input about Category 2 (C2) funding. Specifically, they want to know whether libraries are using their allotted budgets and if it meets their needs. While we know there are many reasons why libraries do or do not request funding for C2, what we want to make crystal clear to the FCC is that having funds available is critical for libraries, ensuring they can maintain and upgrade their WiFi connectivity. How much are we talking about? In 2016, libraries requested more than $50 million for C2 through the E-rate program. The deadline to submit comments is October 23, 2017 and we're calling on you to tell the FCC libraries need secure funding for E-rate. Tell the FCC how much your patrons depend on the library to connect. How to submit a comment: * Format your response as a PDF document. Don't forget to use your library's letterhead! * Go to https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings * For the Proceeding Number, enter the following proceeding numbers: 13-184 * Complete the rest of the information on the form. * Upload your comments at the bottom of the form. Not sure what to write? Use <http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxQzo7mkiv81VNbDfvf…> this template<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxjQRnAqFlVlSJ2LSvs…> (pdf) to tell the FCC how your patrons depend on the library to connect to the internet. We encourage you to edit the template to add specifics that are important to your library and your community. Does your library offer special programs that depend in WiFi? Do you know a patron comes in to use your WiFi to look for jobs or have you seen a student doing homework on a tablet? These stories and examples are critical for the FCC to know about! For more information about the E-rate program, visit the FCC website <http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAx6JGW7_LH0Wb1DrnW8…> or District Dispatch<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxh3MgJ36leV1C5XOV1…>.

Vandenberg (1884-1951), Republican from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was the model of a consensus builder, and the coalitions he spearheaded continue to form the foundation of American foreign and domestic policy today. Originally the editor and publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald, Vandenberg was appointed and later elected to the Senate in 1928, where he became an outspoken opponent of the New Deal and a leader among the isolationists who resisted FDR's efforts to aid European allies at the onset of World War II. But Vandenberg soon recognized the need for unity at the dawn of a new world order; and as a Republican leader, he worked closely with Democratic administrations to build the strong bipartisan consensus that established the Marshall Plan, the United Nations, and NATO. Vandenberg, as Meijer reveals, was instrumental in organizing Congressional support for these monumental twentieth-century foreign policy decisions November 11th Sailing into History, author Talk with Frank Boles, 1 - 2:15 P.M. <http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-69951_69952-448909--…> Lake Michigan Room, 4th floor [cid:image008.jpg@01D348D0.42858380]The Great Lakes create a vast transportation network that supports a massive shipping industry.

Ms. McClung has specialized in painting birds often native to Michigan. Please join us for a special exhibit of her artwork. Exhibit, October 14th - January 5th: Angling and Conservation in Michigan, the Inheritance from the English Leisure Society , Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Room, 4th floor A book tells a story, while a book collection can tell many stories about the owners, content, and history. The Bower-Averbach Collection held at the Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Room is just such a collection, where its value en masse far outweighs one single volume or digital facsimile. The information comes not just from the type on the pages but from the owners, writers, illustrators, and the physical nature of the book itself. The current exhibit, Angling and Conservation in Michigan, the Inheritance from the English Leisure Society, considers the history and origins of water conservation in Michigan and the tradition of fly fishing upon which it is based. The exhibit highlights just some of the material collected by Seymour Bower and J.E. Averbach. Seymour Bower (1855 - 1924), for 25 years the superintendent of fisheries in Michigan, was one of the nation's foremost authorities on fisheries. This collection includes works of scientific as well as antiquarian interest, and many particularly concern Michigan and the Great Lakes area. J.E. Averbach assembled an equally impressive array of titles in the field. The exhibit will be on display from October 14th, 2017 until January 5th 2018. Contributing authors include: a 14th century nun, English royalty, an American President and a judge in the Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti trial. The Martha W. Griffiths Michigan Rare Book Gallery is located on the 4th floor of the Library of Michigan.
