Please find the link to the author tour survey below. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MIReads2015tour - responses due by May 1st In the book, Mr. Rabbit's new neighbors are otters. OTTERS! But he doesn't know anything about otters. Will they be friends? Will they even get along? Follow Mr. Rabbit as he learns how to be a good friend and neighbor by simply following the Golden Rule. You can find Do Unto Otters in BookFlix in the MeL Kids section - http://kids.mel.org/. The publisher is Macmillan, and we are pleased to have them partnering with us on program materials. As in previous years, we will be sending a programming guide and kit to all public library locations, K-2 school buildings, Great Start Readiness and Head Start classrooms in late August and early September.

For now, you can find the tour request survey link at the site and brief information on the new book.

Summer Reading Manual PDFs - UPDATE
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Please see below about accessing copies of the Summer Reading Manual pdf forms WITHOUT the guidelines. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk(a)michigan.gov<mailto:reishk@michigan.gov> ________________________________ [cid:image001.gif@01D06588.96BB9DA0] Hello everyone, Recently it was discovered that the PDF Forms Handouts on the CD/DVD for each program had edit guidelines on each page. Unfortunately this was not caught before the CD/DVD's were distributed to libraries. Upstart has corrected the problem and Reingold has uploaded all PDF Forms Handouts for all 4 programs to the CSLP website. Once a member logs in the forms can be found under Membership & Sponsorship --> Member Libraries --> Proprietary Downloads --> 2015 Graphics and Reproducible Files. Each program link directs you to an alphabetical list of all PDF forms from that manual. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any trouble please let me know immediately. Thank you, Karen Karen Yother President Collaborative Summer Library Program www.cslpreads.org<http://www.cslpreads.org>

What arrangement do you have with your municipality regarding your building, its operations and maintenance 4. How are you funded? 5. Who would you suggest we approach for donations for construction? 6. Other insights or advice Partial replies are acceptable - we don't live in a perfect world and you are all busy! :D Thank you for considering our request.

Book Sleuths...I need your help in locating a book series.
by Heidi Neil 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello, I have a patron that is looking for a book series he read in the 1970's, that featured an African American renegade detective ("kind of like Shaft"...patron's words), the patron is fairly sure the series takes place in Chicago and takes place during the 1960's/1970's. It's not Philip Marlowe of Raymond Chandler books... Any suggestions?? Heidi Neil Adult Services Librarian Adrian District Library 143 E. Maumee St. Adrian, Mi 517-265-2265 FAX: 517-265-8847 hneil(a)adrianmi.gov

Everyone is talking about early literacy and 3rd grade reading proficiency these days and public libraries are a hot spot for significant early literacy services.
