Program on "Dreams"
by Amy Greschaw 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

During another program, several of the participants mentioned they'd enjoy a program on dream interpretation. Trouble is, I have no idea where to start to set up such a thing! Has anyone ever hosted a workshop on dream interpretation, or something similar? Any leads would be much appreciated!

Engaging Families at Your Library!
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Greetings! The Public Library Association (PLA) is offering a FREE webinar on Family Engagement on December 6th! See below for detail. Tuesday, 12/6/2016 * 1:00 PM-2:00 PM (Eastern) Are you interested in increasing your outreach to families? Are you wondering how you might elevate family voice in the work that you do? Are you thinking about how to develop stronger community partnerships in support of families? If so, then this webinar will benefit you. In their recent report Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement<http://www.hfrp.org/librarycta>, Harvard Family Research Project and the Public Library Association outlined five important processes that build successful family engagement pathways: * Reach out, * Raise up, * Reinforce, * Relate, and * Reimagine. This webinar will explore how these practices are being implemented in early childhood programs and libraries, and offer practical ideas that you can use to build family engagement pathways in the learning setting you work in. For full description and registration information visit the PLA website<http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/pathways> at http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/pathways. Evette M.

TLN Zinio For Libraries Site Featured on CNET
by Jim Flury 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

All, In an effort (often not successful, unfortunately) to stay in touch with our rapidly changing world of technology, as well as to try to remain relevant (hopefully successfully) in our library business I often take a few minutes to at least scan the digital versions of consumer publications such as PC Magazine and PC World, as well as the website CNET. When I accessed the CNET website this morning an article called "How To Get Free Digital Magazines From Your Library" caught my eye. "This has to be Zinio For Libraries" was my thought. Yes, indeed. And when I clicked on the article I was very pleased to see a screenshot featuring TLN Zinio! I don't know who Rick Broida is, but apparently he resides in one of the 64 communities whose library is a member of the TLN Zinio group. I plan to drop him a line to compliment him on the article. Feel free to share this article with your patrons, as it is essentially a source of free, positive advertising for Zinio For Libraries. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-check-out-free-zinio-digital-magazines-f… Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

Research in Public Libraries -- What's Next?
by White, Shannon (MDE) 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Below you can find a RIPL update. I know some Michigan library staff have attended the RIPL conferences in the past. If you are interested in attending one of their new opportunities take a look at their website to find out more. Also, don’t forget you can take advantage of the Library of Michigan Continuing Education Stipends to help fund your attendance. Hello, We’re excited to share what’s next for the Research Institute for Public Libraries (RIPL). Thanks to the generous support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), we will be taking RIPL on the road! Our IMLS grant is funding a series of state/regional events around the United States in 2017 and 2018 – the RIPL Regionals. These are scaled-down versions of the national data boot camp, and feature two days of intensive training for 50 participants in the state/surrounding region. Interested in attending the larger, national event? The next one will occur in summer 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia. You can find out more information on the RIPL website: https://ripl.lrs.org/. Thank you for your interest in RIPL! Sincerely, The RIPL Leadership Team ------------------------- Shannon White Director of Statewide Library Services Library of Michigan 702 W.
