solar eclipse glasses
by Reed, Nyama 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

If you have a little budget, you can get solar glasses (ISO certified) for about $0.57 each on Amazon. we got 100 for $57. We also are only giving them to people who come to our program to view the eclipse from the park across from our library. We'd never be able to meet the demand to hand them out to everyone who asks to take them home. http://amzn.to/2hoyQVz Have a wonderful day, Nyama Please note email change to N.Reed(a)WFBLibrary.org due to return to maiden name.

Presenter recommendation - eclipse
by Hope Nobel 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Good morning, everyone - John French from the MSU Abrams Planetarium gave a fascinating presentation at our library last night. He had a multifaceted program, enthusiastically presenting wealth of information on the eclipse: what to do/not do in viewing the eclipse; where to go to view it best; how to understand what is actually happening. He was engaging and got rave reviews from the audience, and he was also generous enough to give away a number of free passes to the planetarium. It is, of course, a bit late for programming before this eclipse, but I highly recommend him for presentations exploring the topic of the solar system and outer space. He was delightful. Hope E. Nobel, M.S.L.S. Director Tamarack District Library P. O. Box 469 832 South Lincoln Avenue Lakeview, MI 48850 989.352.6274

Ploud workshops available to all Michigan libraries
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Greetings, Ploud (Public Libraries in the Cloud) is a website template and hosting solution. This fall the LM is hosting a series of day-long, hands-on workshops about the product. Are you curious about this service? Take advantage of one of the workshop dates to learn more. Cost is $20.00 per person and the locations are below: MIDWEST COLLABORATIVE FOR LIBRARY SERVICES, LANSING Tuesday, Sept 5 - 10 am to 4 pm BAYLISS PUBLIC LIBRARY, SAULT STE. MARIE Tuesday, Sept 19 - 10 am to 4 pm CADILLAC-WEXFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY, CADILLAC Tuesday, Oct 3 - 10 am to 4 pm WHITE LAKE COMMUNITY LIBRARY, WHITEHALL Thursday, Oct 5 - 10 am to 4 pm MARSHALL DISTRICT LIBRARY, MARSHALL Tuesday, Oct 10 - 10 am to 4 pm SUBURBAN LIBRARY CO-OP, STERLING HEIGHTS Wednesday, October 25 - 10 am to 4 pm Ploud is designed for small and rural libraries, provided by vendor Enfold Systems and subsidized with Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) dollars through the LM. Over 100 Michigan libraries utilize Ploud for their websites. Are you thinking about changing website services? Consider Ploud. Michigan Ploud libraries will pay $200 this year. For that low cost libraries are able to take advantage of one of four templates, each of which comes with between four and a dozen color schemes that can be changed at any time; hosting; a vendor-provided help desk; and on-going development. A subdomain of "michlibrary.org" such as "MYLIBRARY.michlibrary.org" is available to new libraries or you are free to use your own domain name. And there's no uploading HTML files with Ploud. In fact, you don't need to know any HTML at all. You simply log onto your site and from there you can edit text, images and links from an easy-to-use interface that requires no coding. Ploud is great for libraries without specialized technology staff. Ploud comes with carousels, or rotating images, which you can use on any page; optional drag and drop page layouts; a selection of MeL databases which can easily be extended for your patron base; an intuitive calendar for library events; a News section; a Kids & Teens area; and a Contact Us form. From there you can develop any new content that you'd like. Your Ploud website can be as small or as large as you care to build it. To get an idea of what the product looks like and how Michigan libraries are using it check out these sites: * Cadillac Wexford Public Library<http://www.cadillaclibrary.org/> * Caro Area District Library<http://www.carolibrary.org/> * Crooked Tree District Library<http://crookedtree.ploud.net/> * Leelanau Township Library<http://www.leelanautownshiplibrary.org/> * Presque Isle District Library<https://pidl.ploud.net/> * Walled Lake City Library<http://walledlake.ploud.net/> Questions? Contact Sonya Schryer Norris at norriss2(a)michigan.gov<mailto:norriss2@michigan.gov> or 517-373-4457. You can also check out the program website<http://michlibrary.org/>. This summer is a perfect time to consider Ploud. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

Apply Now: Media Literacy @ Your Library
by Steven Bowers 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Apply Now: Media Literacy @ Your Library<http://www.programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-media-literacy-your-…> ALA, in collaboration with the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University, invites public libraries to apply for Media Literacy @ Your Library, a pilot program that will train library workers to help their adult patrons become better news consumers. In this six-month learning and prototyping project, ALA and the Center for News Literacy will work with teams from five public libraries to adapt existing media literacy training materials to serve the needs of public librarians and the communities they serve. The cohort teams will attend an in-person training and use their skills to conduct related adult public programs in their communities. Team members will also provide feedback on the training and serve as advisers to, and beta testers for, the development of a corresponding web-based curriculum for the library field. Read the guidelines<https://apply.ala.org/medialiteracy/guidelines> for Media Literacy @ Your Library or apply online<https://apply.ala.org/medialiteracy> (https://apply.ala.org/medialiteracy) to be part of the cohort. Applications must be received by Sept. 11, 2017. Selected libraries will receive: * An intensive six-month experience that will include training and support for a three-person library team to develop and implement media literacy programming for adult patrons. * $1,500 for program-related expenses, such as travel, promotion and public programming costs. * In-person media literacy workshop training, to be held on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2017, in Chicago. * Two nights’ hotel lodging and some meals at the in-person workshop for three library representatives. (Note that travel costs to Chicago are at the library’s expense or must be paid from the $1,500 stipend.) * Communications support, access to a community of practice, and technical and programming support. Media Literacy @ Your Library is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund and the Rita Allen Foundation. The project is administered by ALA’s Public Programs Office. _______________ Sarah Ostman Communications Manager Public Programs Office American Library Association 312-280-5061
