View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/de55e1f2f981/cslp-newsletter-august-6743423?e=c18caf2bb6> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/ed31fdf7-bdb…] [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/61df88c3-4184-0d… CSLP, we've said it before, and we'll say it again: Libraries Are Life(tm)! This mantra resonates with our mission, and due to popular demand from our members, we've added a latecomer product to our Libraries Are Life(tm) collection. Since this item didn't make it into our 2025 catalog, we're excited to feature it in this product spotlight. Vinyl stickers with a quirky, retro vibe are all the rage right now, and CSLP members asked us to create something along these lines. After running the idea by our Vendor Committee, we're thrilled to introduce a set of 10 vinyl stickers featuring 5 unique designs by Mike Mullan<https://cslpreads.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd…>, our artist from Color Our World. Product details: * Designs: 5 original Mike Mullan creations * Quantity: 10 stickers per set * Size: Each sticker is between 2" and 3" in height * Versatility: Stickers can be cut out for individual giveaways These stickers are perfect for adding a little extra flair to your programs or as fun, colorful giveaways. Get yours today from our shop<https://cslpreads.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd…> for $7.99/sheet (that's ~.80 cents per sticker) and share the message that Libraries Are Life(tm)!

Their focus on accessibility through arts-related tools and resources ensures all members feel welcome and can fully participate. The webinar emphasizes the role of libraries in promoting equity by enhancing program reach, particularly in summer reading programs. By integrating accessible arts activities, libraries can expand their audience and foster community connections. Practical advice on adapting materials to meet diverse needs is shared, making programs more impactful. The universal language of art is recognized as a powerful tool for connection and inclusion. Importantly, the principles discussed are applicable year-round, not just for summer programs. This webinar goes beyond programming - it's about fostering belonging, creativity, and shared experiences at the heart of library services. The recording and additional materials are available for viewing on our Inclusion Resources page<https://cslpreads.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd…>.

Upcoming Virtual Event at BPL: Vikings: Fearsome Raiders & Adventurous Traders
by Mick Howey 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hello Michlib! Please join us at 1:00 PM, Saturday, November 30th as we welcome Ellen Green for Vikings: Fearsome Raiders & Adventurous Traders. Vikings are best known for being fearsome raiders. But they were also adventurous traders who established a vast trade network that spanned from Byzantium to Dublin to Newfoundland to Greenland. Join archaeologist Ellen Green in looking at the evidence the Vikings left in their far reaching voyages of plunder and trade. Ellen has been a frequent presenter for Baldwin. She is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. Ellen developed a love of archaeology through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones. Registration required. Virtual event only. Tap here <https://www.baldwinlib.org/calendar/#/events/MBa6cEwyUJ/instances/rgygB9MvH…> to register and for more information. Hope to see you Saturday!

upcoming deadline for free Michigan Poetry Out Loud program
by Katie Wittenauer 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hello, Michigan library community! I'm writing to remind you of an upcoming deadline for Michigan's Poetry Out Loud program, which is coordinated by our team here at Michigan Humanities in collaboration with the Michigan Arts and Culture Council. We are asking that all interested partners register by Friday, Dec. 6. As you may know, Poetry Out Loud<https://www.michiganhumanities.org/poetry-out-loud/> is a national poetry recitation competition for high school students. It is in its 20th year and was launched by the National Endowment for the Arts to encourage students to learn about existing works of poetry through memorization and performance, and build public speaking skills and self-confidence. The program and all materials are provided to each partner at no cost. Poetry Out Loud is flexible and scalable; you can start with just a few interested students! Each year, participating schools or community organizations (like public or school libraries and other youth-serving organizations) host their own competitions and select a student to represent their community at the state finals. The Michigan state champion advances to the national finals in Washington, D.C. and competes for a $20,000 college scholarship. At the 2024 State Finals event in Lansing, both students and teachers took part in a welcome dinner and poetry workshops, and 19 school champions competed in three rounds of competition. Nandi Comer, Michigan's Poet Laureate, led the student workshop and emceed several rounds of competition. You can see a little peek at the State Finals via Detroit PBS's coverage of it here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE5GvwM2eIE>. Overall, throughout the 2023-24 school year, 23 organizations partnered with Michigan Poetry Out Loud, including an estimated 85 teachers and 3,800 students. If you are interested in learning more, please contact me via email and/or join me for an informal discussion during my Poetry Out Loud office hours on Zoom tomorrow, Wednesday, and Monday. Links and time frames are below! * Tuesday, Nov. 26: 1:30 to 3 p.m., Eastern | Join via this link<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88584531676> during that time frame * Wednesday, Nov. 27: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Eastern | Join via this link<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766551855> during that time frame * Monday, Dec. 2: 3 to 4:30 p.m., Eastern | Join via this link<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87450540139> during that time frame Have a great week ahead, and I look forward to talking with you soon!
