credit card vendors recs
by Lise Mitchell 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hi, Want to make sure I haven't overlooked any other options for credit card vendors that tie into an ILS system. I'm familiar with square and paypal for accepting credit cards but don't believe they talk direct to an ILS system to clear fines and fees off a patron's records. Is anyone using any other vendor besides Envisionware in such a fashion to accept credit cards in the library? If I am wrong about square or paypal, please let me know. thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E.

2017 LSTA Collaborative Library Services Grants Announced!
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Congratulations to the selected grantees for the Collaborative Library Services grants! The first year of the grant program is off to a great start. The Library of Michigan received 21 applications by the deadline of January 31st. The applications were reviewed by the LSTA Advisory Council, made up of librarians from around the state and from a range of library types, as well as Library of Michigan staff. The selected grantees include four large grants and four small sponsorship grants. For a description of the funded projects, please see below. Thanks to all the libraries who applied for their time, effort and great ideas. * Dearborn Public Library - "Dearborn Public Library and Smartlocker(tm) -a Community-Based Initiative" - 3-year grant for $110,000. The Dearborn Public Library will partner with Salina Elementary and Intermediate Schools to improve access to library material in this underserved, largely immigrant, community. A Smartlocker(tm) will be installed at the Salina School Community Center that students and community members will be able to use to get public library materials. The project includes training and outreach for community residents. The goal is to provide community access to library material for education and entertainment, opening the doors of knowledge and lifelong learning. * Jackson District Library - "Project BRIDGE (Building Relationships in Diverse Generational Experiences)" - 2-year grant for $150,000. Project BRIDGE will supplement the traditional outreach program to homebound patrons and care centers with innovative services for citizens living independently or in residential facilities. Project BRIDGE is a multi-pronged approach to serve these patrons, their families and caregivers by offering: Connections (a special collection of materials for memory impaired individuals), JDL on the Road (a series of special programs tailored to the interests of older adults), Music and Memory (providing iPods with personalized music selections to memory impaired participants), Reminiscence Kits (program kits designed to stimulate conversations and memories), and TimeSlips (a program using group storytelling to enhance the lives of people with dementia). * Wayne State University Libraries - "Discovering Michigan History" - 2-year grant for $161,747 Discovering Michigan History will model and establish pathways to share cultural content from Michigan libraries, archives, and museums via digital platforms to the public, educators, and the Digital Public Library of America. The project aims to advance Michigan's digital collections, serving as a catalyzing set of activities in three areas: digital collection creation and hosting, digital discovery, and curricular development. WSU will work with LGBT Detroit, The Arab American National Museum, and the Burton Collection at the Detroit Public Library to share their content. * Ypsilanti District Library - "Texting and Learning for Kindergarten (TALK)" - 3-year grant for $175,000 As a young mother nurses her 7-month-old, she gets a text message from the library suggesting a nursery rhyme to sing. Smiling, she hums a tune, knowing this sweet, simple moment will help her baby succeed in school and in life. Many parents are unaware that their daily interactions can prepare children for success. To meet parents where they are, libraries in Washtenaw County will develop a text messaging service for families with children age 5 and under. New partnerships with libraries, preschools, service agencies, and the Sheriff's Office will ensure that the service reaches low-income residents, parents with limited literacy skills, and other underserved groups. Sponsorships * Friends of Michigan Libraries - Support for continuing education workshops for library trusteees - 1-year grant for $2,500 * Michigan Academic Library Association - Support for continuing education workshops for library staff - 1-year grant for $2,980 * Michigan Library Association - Support for continuing education workshops for library staff - 1-year grant for $5,000 * The Library Network - Support for the statewide Michigan Activity Pass program - 1-year grant for $5,000 Funding availability for the 2018 grant program will be announced in Fall of 2017.

Learn about the federal budget process - ALA webinar on April 13 at 2:30pm eastern
by White, Shannon (MDE) 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

If you are interested in learning more about the federal budget process and how relates to IMLS-LSTA funds join ALA for a webinar on April 13 at 2:30pm. See below for details from ALA about the event. Appropriations webinar announced for National Library Week Appropriations, Budgets, and Continuing Resolutions: what you need to know about the Congressional Appropriations Process Confused about the $1 trillion Federal Appropriations process? Does talk of the FY 17 budget, FY 18 budget, the President's "Skinny" budget, Continuing Resolutions and Omnibus budgeting leave you a tad confused? You are not alone! To help answer some of these questions, ALA is hosting a webinar on April 13, 2017, 2:30pm eastern to provide an overview of the Federal budget and appropriations process, its impact on libraries throughout the country and how front line advocacy efforts may support libraries. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsmYSdbM6yM) Join the ALA Washington Office Appropriations expert Kevin Maher and the Penn Hill lobbying group's Aissa Canchola for an hour-long discussion of the ABCs of the budget process in Washington. These budget experts will help explain how Congress can be working on last year's budget AND this year's budget at the same time, what the President's proposal to eliminate the Institute for Museum and Library Services could mean for more than $213 million in federal library funding and how Congress is expected to proceed in the coming weeks and months. The stakes are high this year and all federal library funding is on the chopping block after the President effectively proposed eliminating these important programs. Communications to Members of the House of Representatives in support of the annual "Dear Appropriator" letters for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program were successful this year, but it is only the start of a year-long FY 2018 appropriations. What's next on the funding front? You will walk away from this session with a clearer idea of how Congress' budget and appropriations machine works and, how you can learn about critical library funding for LSTA and IAL. Here is your chance to hear from the experts and ask questions of how it all works (or doesn't). No registration is required - just join on YouTube on April 13, 2017 at 2:30pm eastern and use the #SaveIMLS to ask a question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsmYSdbM6yM --------------------- Shannon White Director of Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 702 W.
