Multiple Bulk Order Opportunities AND Your Chance to Win a FREE Copy of the Book Wolverine: A Photographic History of Michigan Football
by Jim Flury 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

First things first. The publisher of the brand new book Wolverine: A Photographic History of Michigan Football http://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/20… was kind enough to provide TLN with a complimentary copy. We don't serve the public here, so I could just strategically rotate the book among the desktops, offices, and cubes of the MSU grads and fans in our office so as to highly annoy them, which would be really neat. But as much fun as that would be, this book belongs in the public library domain. To that end, the first library that can deliver to me a NEW participant for MAP will receive as its prize, TLN's copy of this book (retail value $49.95). A new participant for MAP is defined as one that does not currently partake of the ginormous benefits that come with a MAP partnership. I will broaden the definition to include an institution that participated in previous years, fell away for some reason, but saw the error of its ways and wants to get on board with MAP again. The first referring library that can deliver an institution that completes and submits to me its copy of the MAP agreement form at http://tln.lib.mi.us/cultural/files/MAP%20cultural%20attraction%20participa… will win TLN's copy of this book. Here are this month's new bulk order opportunities: 1. Wolverine: A Photographic History of Michigan Football. List price, $49.95. Discounted price is dependent upon the total number of copies we (you) order. If we order just one, the discount is 10%. For 50-99 copies, 20%. 100-199 is 30%, etc. I would budget for a 10% discount for this title. 2a. Michigan Divorce Book (with minor children), new 10th edition: List price is $34.95, 40% discount. 2b: Michigan Divorce Book (without minor children), new 10th edition: List price is $28.95, 40% discount. 3. Todd and Brad Reed's Michigan: Wednesdays in the Mitten http://www.toddandbradreed.com/lightbox/Wednesdays.html and http://michiganradio.org/post/new-photo-book-captures-michigans-natural-bea… List price is $110.00. Discounted price of $95.00 applies if we purchase 50 copies, which I'm pretty sure we wont. For 100+ copies, discounted price is $85.00. Budget for list price for this one. It's still easier than having to order it yourself, even at list price. 4. DVD You're Looking At Me Like I Live Here And I Don't. Lots of accolades for this. DVD only, no PPR, $31.00. DVD with PPR, $80.00. Please specify with or without PPR. 5. Michigan based Ted Braude of http://www.boysworkproject.com/ The library price for the Dragon Taming dvd set of four is $125.00. They will sell it to us at the retail price of $75.00. The book How Boys Become Men retails for $15.95. Library price, $12.95. The bundle, dvd and book, is available for $82.95. Please specify dvd, book, or bundle. Please note that if you wish to purchase PPR for the dvd, the distributor asks that you contact them directly. I can provide you with said contact info if needed. Please note that TLN may assess a $1.00 per item charge to help offset the cost of this project. Let's set a Friday, January 29 order deadline for the bulk purchases. The book contest will remain open until we have a winning library/new MAP destination. Start making those sales pitches to your local venues! Thanks.

Summer Reading - Counting Books vs. Learning Activities
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

We are coming up on spring (I hope) so that means Summer Reading is coming very soon. A perennial planning question with Summer Reading is what to count - books, pages, time - and if that even encourages kids to read, especially those that aren't strong readers. Many libraries are now looking at tracking activities based on reading. This type of programming shifts from pages or time to experiences and behaviors. Some libraries are trying a game board with reading goals and exploratory behaviors to be checked off instead a sheet to list books on. This can be a range of activities linked to topics in the collection. The activities selected can be done at home as well as the library for those kids who can't come to the library often. For example, a child can read a book on insects and then go look for animals/insects in their yard for an exploratory activity. Libraries experimenting with these types of Summer Reading programs have seen that they can be more inclusive and bring in children with a broad range of interests and it can get away from problems with gaming how reading is counted. It can also be a way to encourage families to participate in local and community activities and to encourage community groups to partner with the library. For more information, you can watch the recorded webinar the Library of Michigan did last year - Learning Challenges as a Way to Increase the Impact of Summer Reading.<https://libraryofmichigan.adobeconnect.com/_a1103330398/p74oswp2mg8/?launch…> Enjoy our last days of winter as you wrap up your summer reading planning!

Parent & Children Cards
by Brian Johnston 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hello Everyone, I am wondering if there are any libraries that can share their policies on blocking family members with excessive fines. If a child or parent owes too much, do you also block the rest of the family? If you do, how do you notify the staff (such as, with notes on everybody's account)? Any such information would be helpful. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Head of Public Services Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Road Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 bjohnston(a)lincolnlib.org
