Hello, How many times have you been asked --- to suggest a book for a young reader and not been exactly sure what’s popular or appropriate? For the next title in a series? What the current award winners are in children and teen titles (did you know there are over 40 awards covering books for readers ages zero through teens?!?)? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a resource that could help you find their next great read? MeL database<http://mel.org/Databases> NoveList K-8 Plus<http://web.a.ebscohost.com/novpk8/search/novbasic?sid=2c67c947-e509-476b-bd…> is just that tool.

Adaptive Technology for Low Vision
by Deb Motley 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

For our patron use inside the library we have a Freedom Scientific Topaz CCTV that enlarges documents, magazines, books, etc. A patron can use this in the library and they are very satisfied with it. We also provide magnifiers of different types and magnifications for patrons to check out and try at home to see what works best for them. We have about 40 of these. *Deb Motley* *Manager, Outreach and Bookmobile Services* *Rochester Hills Public Library248-650-7152*

Re: [Michlib-l] Minecraft

We have both a "TADLcraft" kids club & a teen club, which we began last year. We offer a limited number of computers/laptops for participants to share and encourage them to bring their own laptops as well, which many do. For the kids club we present "challenges" or tasks at the monthly club. Teens meet bi-weekly. Our Young Adult Librarian created a "pledge" for the teens to sign that asks them to not swear, tear down others work, etc. As for the technology side, we created our own server for the program. I suggest you contact Scott Morey smorey(a)tadl.org for the tech details. *Cathy Lancaster* *Coordinator of Youth Services* *Traverse Area District Library* (231) 932-8560 610 Woodmere Ave. Traverse City, MI 49686 From: Michael McEvoy <mmcevoy(a)northvillelibrary.org> To: G Nartker <gnartker(a)sandusky.lib.mi.us> Cc: "michlib-l(a)lists.mcls.org" <michlib-l(a)mail.mcls.org> Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 15:08:09 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Minecraft...
