LLAMA Mentoring Program
by Marsh, Nyama 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Dear Colleagues, I am writing on behalf of the LLAMA Mentoring Program. As a division of ALA, the Library Leadership and Management Association advances outstanding leadership and management practices in library and information services by encouraging and nurturing individual excellence in current and aspiring library leaders. The mentoring program pairs librarians with leadership experience with librarians who are interested in becoming leaders. The program runs from the ALA Annual Convention in June to April 30 of the following year. For mentors, it is a chance to pass on your experience and knowledge by working one-on-one with an enthusiastic colleague who is ready to learn and benefit from your experience. For mentees, it is a great opportunity to learn from an accomplished leader how to: * explore your leadership potential * demonstrate leadership in your current position * acquire the skills, attitudes and relationships that you will need to move into leadership roles. Participants must be ALA and LLAMA members as of the start of the program, and must either attend the Mentor/Mentee orientation at ALA Annual or be able to participate in a virtual orientation at a time to be determined. Your involvement and activity within LLAMA means you would have a lot to offer a newer librarian. I'm asking you to consider signing up as Mentor. We received over 60 applications from mentees, but only 30 mentor applications. If you are willing to participate, please sign up using this form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5WWVLMR<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r…>. Your response by Tuesday, February 16 would be very much appreciated. If you have any questions you can reply directly to this email. Thank you for considering this opportunity!

Roscommon needs shelving/bookcases
by Casey B. Adams 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hello all! I've never tried using the Michlib-L email blast so let's see how this works. Roscommon has a small library branch that needs new bookcases. If anyone has any extra bookcases, I need some that are 7 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 1 foot deep or close to those measurements I'm not a carpenter so that might be the incorrect language. It can be metal or wood, no preference. I will come get them and I can pay if that helps. Casey --- Casey B. Adams, MLIS Library Director Roscommon Area District Library 106 Lake St. P.O.

The Collaborative Summer Library program is looking for suggestions for artists to design the 2018 artwork. The theme for 2018 is Music. If you have an idea you want to share, the survey link is below. Thank you! Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk(a)michigan.gov<mailto:reishk@michigan.gov> Subject: CSLP 2018 Artist Suggestions needed It’s that time of year again! CSLP is looking for suggestions of illustrators to provide our 2018 artwork for the theme of music. Please forward the below survey on to your librarians and ask them to submit suggestions. We would love to hear from all of our members! Is there an illustrator that depicted the theme of music in a book that you think would make a fantastic choice? Please consider that CSLP does have a budget when working with an illustrator to provide our summer reading artwork. That said, please keep in mind that while it would be fantastic to work with someone like Mo Willems, our budget simply does not make him a realistic suggestion. The survey link can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018ArtistSuggestions Please submit suggestions by Friday, Feburary 19th. Thank you for your time!
