TLN Statewide Collection Development Lists: New Pilot Project
by Jim Flury 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

All, Library cooperative directors, please share this email with your member libraries. TLN is pleased to announce a new, statewide, pilot project for public libraries. Beginning October 1 , 2024, in conjunction with our vendor partner Brodart, TLN will offer three curated monthly collection development lists, one each of Adult Nonfiction, Juvenile/Tween, and Teen, free of charge to public libraries that wish to receive them . TLN member libraries have benefited from this service in the past and we are happy to extend this pilot to any public library in the state that may be interested. The lists, created by a TLN librarian with three+ decades of experience in this realm, generally consist of 400 to 500 Adult Nonfiction titles, 300 to 400 Juvenile/Tween titles, and 100 to 150 Teen titles. When available, multiple full text reviews from professional journals Booklist, Library Journal Pre-pub Alert, Library Journal, School Library Journal, Kirkus, Horn Book, Publisher's Weekly, and Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, will accompany the title to assist you in your collection development decision making process. Libraries can use the lists to quickly select titles and can easily place orders to Brodart for their desired titles with a click of a button. Attached is a PDF copy of the TLN Adult Order List dated September, 2024. We wanted libraries to be able to see a copy of an active list. If you would like to sign up for this exciting new statewide pilot project, please contact either Jim Flury at The Library Network, email [ mailto:jflury@tln.org | jflury(a)tln.org ] or Brodart's Michigan Library Services Consultant Kim Langenderfer, email [ mailto:Kim.Langenderfer@brodart.com | Kim.Langenderfer(a)brodart.com ] Libraries that already use the program through TLN do not have to sign up again. Please let Jim Flury know if you have any questions concerning this service, either via email [ mailto:jflury@tln.org | jflury(a)tln.org ] or by phone 248-536-3100 ext. 133. Thank you!

Kids Book Club Recommendations
by Lorry Traver 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hi all, I am starting a new book club for 5th and 6th graders and am trying to find some great book recommendations for our meetings. I would like to have about 4 for them to choose from at each monthly meeting, each book from a different genre. Do you have any recommendations? I would like titles that are fairly new (2019 and newer), but not so new that we won't be able to borrow copies for them to read. Thank you so much! -- *"I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them." - Emma Thompson* *Lorry Traver* Public Services Librarian Brandon Township Library 248-627-1460

Hello, We have weeded our audiobook collection, the Friends of the Library had a huge bag sale, and we still have a lot of leftover audiobooks. The Friends of the Holly Township Library would like to donate them, if possible. Does anyone have a need for older audiobooks or a reliable source to donate them to? Thanks in advance.

Program recommendation - Vanessa Ivy Rose author of Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes
by Kelly Rembert 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi, I want to share a program recommendation with everyone. Author Vanessa Ivy Rose is the author of Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes which is about her grandfather. She has a great professional presentation and this is a labor of love to share more about her grandfather. I recommend reaching out to have her at your library! Thanks, Kelly Kelly Ireland Rembert Outreach Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Rd. Southfield, MI 48076 (248) 796-4367 krembert(a)southfieldlibrary.org<mailto:krembert@southfieldlibrary.org> www.southfieldlibrary.org<http://www.southfieldlibrary.org/> she/her/hers From: Vanessa Rose <vanessaivyrose8(a)gmail.com<mailto:vanessaivyrose8@gmail.com>> Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2024 7:53 PM To: Mary Beall <mbeall(a)southfieldlibrary.org<mailto:mbeall@southfieldlibrary.org>> Subject: [EXTERNAL]Black History Month Book Talk You don't often get email from vanessaivyrose8(a)gmail.com<mailto:vanessaivyrose8@gmail.com>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Greetings Mary! My name is Vanessa Ivy Rose and I am a local author, educator and podcast host of ABC’s “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” (which has just received a nomination for an NAACP Image Award). I am contacting you to see if you have any interest in having a book talk and signing at your library. My latest book is entitled “Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes". I wrote this book in dedication to my grandfather “Turkey” Stearnes who is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000 (and is also in three other halls of fame) and last year the Detroit Tigers gave away his jersey to 15,000 fans in celebration of the Turkey Stearnes Centennial. Despite Grandpa Turkey’s accomplishments, he is one of the greatest baseball players many have never heard of because he played in the Negro Leagues due to Jim Crow segregation which excluded him from MLB. As of 2020, he and over 3,000 other Negro Leaguers have been recognized by MLB as Major Leaguers. I would love to speak at your library to have a book talk and signing if you are interested for Black History Month or any other time you have available. Please feel free to visit my website www.hofdna.com<http://www.hofdna.com/> or to email me if interested. Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon!
