Asia, and the Pacific resulted in the firebombing of virtually all of Japan's cities. Despite the destruction, the Japanese government refused to surrender. President Truman ordered the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II in the Pacific. Military historian Professor Don Borsand will join us on Thursday, May 26 at 6 pm in the Warren Civic Center Library Conference room to present on this historic event.

Good afternoon! If anybody is willing, we're currently looking to gather recommendations for people counters. We're mostly concerned with getting an accurate count (people don't get counted twice, people walking side-by-side get accurately counted, etc) and having a simple way to retrieve and reset the data.

Every Child Ready to Read in Michigan - April Newsletter
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 03 May '16

03 May '16

Welcome to our monthly Every Child Ready to Read newsletter, which will run through 2016 and 2017 as we go through our Every Child Ready to Read project. Please share widely. April 2016 [top-cork header] ________________________________ Every Child Ready to Read in Michigan - April 2016 [Every Child Ready to Read] ________________________________ [child waving] Welcome to Our Early Literacy Outreach program! Welcome to the first monthly newsletter which is just one component of The Library of Michigan's launch of their two-year Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) program. The program is based on the American Library Association's project of the same name. Teaching parents and other caregivers including early childhood educators how to support the early literacy development of young children is the basis of the program. The Library of Michigan has ECRR manuals available that libraries can request. Training was offered in March, but it was not necessary to participate in training to receive the manual. Contact Karren Reish at reishk(a)michigan.gov<mailto:reishk@michigan.gov> if you would like a manual. Many libraries feel that they are participating in the ECRR program by instituting practices within their storytime programs. However, that is not the basis of ECRR. In fact, the manual does not address storytime programs per se, rather the initiative's goal is to reach parents and caregivers, specifically those from low-income and/or low education families, with the importance of engaging in early literacy practices with their young children. Those five practices are: Talking; Reading; Singing; Writing and Playing. The manual was written to assist librarians in offering workshops to parents and caregivers. There are five main workshops to offer to adults (four with children present): Parent Workshop; Fun for Parents and Children; Fun with Letters for Parents and Children; Fun with Words for Parents and Children; and Fun with Science and Math for Parents and Children. In addition, there is a workshop to offer to Community Partners; a workshop to train other staff members; and a final workshop on how to create Early Literacy and Learning Spaces. Watch for upcoming training webinars on subjects related to ECRR which will be offered on July 14, August 22, and November 10. For more information on this project, contact Sue at: sue(a)kidlitplus.com. <sue(a)kidlitplus.com> For more information and materials, go to www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices in the Every Child Ready to Read section. --- Sue Reflections For more than 15 years the American Academy of Pediatrics advised parents to avoid screen time completely for children under the age of 2, and to limit screen time to no more than two hours a day for children older than 2. The medical group is now rethinking their position and they are reviewing their guidelines in the era of iPads and apps, realizing that their former guidelines are now outdated.

Candlewick Press, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-7636-7844-9 This book will be great for children's narrative skills. They can join in on repeated words or help retell the story.
