Wonderful Author visit
by Howe Memorial 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hello All; We hosted Robin Deveraux-Nelson again yesterday with her new childrens book. She is wonderful with the children. We are again having her in August to introduce her new mysteries. She is willing to go to other libraries, I attached her flyers on her three new books. She has never charged us to come to our library, she does sell her books. If she has to travel far she might charge she might not....she is worth the try. robindevereaux(a)gmail.com Sandy Johnson Howe Memorial Library 128 E.

Upcoming FREE Webinars from WebJunction!

Before Bilingual Storytime: The Outreach Bridge to Engaging Latino and Spanish-speaking Families Thursday, July 7, 2016 ♦ 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ♦ 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.ht… If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language storytime. It’s the “if we build it, they will come” logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn’t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community. Presented by: Katie Scherrer, Connected Communities<http://www.connectedcommunitiesconsulting.com/>, consultant and co-author of Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytime in English and Spanish<http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=11683>; and Lauren Simon, Community Librarian, Tualatin Public Library<http://www.tualatinoregon.gov/library> Coding for Everyone: How Your Library Can Help Anyone Learn to Code Tuesday, July 19, 2016 ♦ 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ♦ 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/coding-for-everyone.html Computer programming, or coding, is a digital literacy skill that has become as important as reading and writing. Learning to code builds rational thinking and problem-solving skills, providing powerful tools that transfer to other subjects and create lifelong learners. Libraries have stepped up to help everyone learn the basics of coding - preschoolers, elementary school kids, tweens, teens, young adults, mid-career professionals, and retirees. In this webinar, learn why coding is important for everyone. Hear examples of informal and facilitated learning approaches, resources and best practices for library coding programs for a variety of audiences. And the best news is that you don’t need any specialized training in computer programming yourself to run a successful program!

We've Been Working on the MAP Page (and the MAP Facebook Page Too)
by Jim Flury 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

All, When I say "we" have been working on the MAP website and Facebook page I mean Brigette and John at TLN have been working. I do make the occasional, perhaps sometimes even useful, suggestion, though :) As we have reported MAP is gaining a following among library patrons that far exceeds what we have seen in past years. With all of this new interest comes many more questions from users, and from librarians, too. Nearly all of those questions can be distilled down to "how do I check out a MAP pass." To address this, we have added a "Click here for a step-by-step tutorial on how to check out a MAP pass" link to the MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info Clicking the link takes patrons to the "How to check out a Michigan Activity Pass" document at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/files/MAP-HOWTO.pdf If you poke around on the MAP website you will encounter the "Click here for a step-by-step tutorial on how to check out a MAP pass" link almost everywhere you go, under Brochure, News, More and Help. Everywhere except under Survey. And speaking of Survey, we have updated the MAP survey for this year, to make it more to the point (shorter). Patrons have responded, and over 100 surveys have been completed on the MAP website since go live on May 24. The MAP Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP-510259192344845/ has over 3,000 likes now. To further assist patrons and library staff we have pinned to the MAP FB page the "How To Check Out a Michigan Activity Pass" document, as well as the three brand new MAP brochures and the updated MAP survey, too. MAP: nearly 120,000 hits to the website since go live on May 24, and counting! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury 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
