Library Cats?
by Diane McKee 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

I am passing on this inquiry from Anne Ford at American Libraries: I'm an editor at American Libraries, the magazine of the American Library Association. I am working on an article about library cats, and I'm wondering if you happen to know of any libraries in your state that have resident kitties. If so, I'd be very glad if you'd point me to them. Thanks very much for entertaining this (slightly odd) request. All best, Anne Anne Ford Editor-At-Large, American Libraries American Library Association (773) 398-8636 aford(a)ala.org<mailto:aford@ala.org> Diane McKee Howell Carnegie Library 517-546-0720 ext. 114 www.howellibrary.org<http://www.howellibrary.org>

Resume building websites?
by Ed Burns 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Good day. Does anyone subscribe to an online resume building program that patrons can use? I hate seeing people go to these “free” websites and type up their resume only to find they have to pay to print or download it. We’d like to have a service we could offer our patrons that we knew was good and would not cost them. Thank you.

Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 11am MT On August 21, 2017, we will be treated to the first total eclipse of the Sun visible in the continental U.S. in almost 40 years. The spectacular total eclipse will only be visible in a narrow band about 60 miles across, stretching diagonally across the country from a beach in Oregon to a beach in South Carolina. However, everyone in North America will see a partial solar eclipse, where a big "bite" will be taken out of the Sun. This will be the first major U.S. eclipse of the Internet age, and most people will need clear reliable information on when and how to observe the eclipse of the Sun safely. Astronomers are hoping libraries will play a key role in getting this information out to their communities. Working with astronomy groups in their communities, they could also be a central place for safe observing. Get an early start in preparing for this eclipse, how to explain it, how to observe it safely, and what role libraries can play in organizing and informing their communities. Library staff and their partners are invited to join a STAR_Net webinar on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 11am MT, where you'll get great information about the eclipse and be able to ask questions about the role your library can play. Hosts: Dennis Schatz (NSTA, Pacific Science Center), and Andrew Fraknoi (Foothill College; co-author of a new book on eclipse education). Click here<http://www.starnetlibraries.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Eclipse-2017-FAQ…> for an Eclipse FAQ sheet and click here<http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/index.php?id_category=124&control…> for hands-on Sun science activities. **************************** The STAR Library Education Network (STAR_Net) is a hands-on learning program for libraries and their communities across the country. STAR_Net focuses on building STEM skills through developing "science-technology activities and resources" (STAR). Find hands-on activities and other resources for starting or building your STEM programs at www.starnetlibraries.org<http://www.starnetlibraries.org/>. Register your public library for a 2017 solar eclipse event<http://www.starnetlibraries.org/2017-eclipse-registration/> and receive 50 FREE* solar viewing glasses and more! *First-come, first served Hands-on Sun Science There's more to the Sun than meets the eye -- so use your taste buds! Make a Sun Cookie<http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/index.php?id_product=73&controlle…> by decorating a frosted sugar cookie to model the (tasty) parts of the Sun: Sugar sprinkles: gas rising up from the Sun's core make Texas-sized features on the Sun called solar granules. Chocolate pieces: cooler areas of the Sun appear as darker sun spots. Sun spots come in pairs, so add the chocolate pieces two at a time! Licorice strands: hot gas erupts from the Sun in looping arcs called solar prominences. Whatever you do, don't add the corona -- it will melt your Sun Cookie! Mysteriously, the corona is much hotter than the surface of the Sun. It is relatively dim and only visible when the Sun's light is blocked out -- such as during a total solar eclipse.
