Canva update “Glow-up”
by Katie Rothley 24 May '24

24 May '24

Hi all, if you have a Canva you can get the secret “glow-up” by: 1. Go to your Canva homepage 2. Click on “for you” in the upper left hand corner 7 times (little confetti will pop out) 3. Then if you have admin controls, you can enable it for your team and explore the cool new stuff they’ve added. It’s apparently only available to the first 1 million people who discover it? I think it’s just early access and will eventually be made available to everyone at some point. But I’m absolutely thrilled by this little bit of creative marketing they’ve initiated. It’s almost like gamifying the use of their product! I wasn’t sure if everyone knew about this because it’s a bit of a secret - so now you do! https://www.canva.com/help/glow-up/ Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 <callto:(248)+349-3020> ext. 221 https://northvillelibrary.org Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/32729040?utm_med…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/32729040?utm_med…> [image: Goodreads Logo] <https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature>Get your own email signature <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_instructions?utm_medium=gyo_…> My working day may not be your working day.

In the United States, 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year. Mental health conditions include mental disorders and psychosocial disabilities that are not always easily recognized. The State of Michigan prioritizes mental health and safety by investing in resources and facilities to help people recognize and respond to mental health challenges. In 2023, the State of Michigan launched a Mental Health in the Workplace hub to share resources and strategies to help employees and employers across the state address mental health in the workplace.

[https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/b47852f9-3f9c-66…] Partner New Library Speakers Consortium Partnership We are so excited to announce that CSLP and the Library Speakers Consortium have partnered to bring bestselling K-12 summer author events to CSLP members. The Library Speakers Consortium (LSC) is a partnership of more than 400 libraries working together to bring high-quality online author talk programs to their patrons.

So I enlisted Elizabeth Jakubowski, a Senior Librarian here at the NYS Library’s Manuscripts and Special Collections unit, to do a statewide online session similar to one she presented last fall at our annual NY Library Association conference. Elizabeth shared the story of the NYS Library’s ongoing Tasting History project, including the creation of the project in 2021, the eras of history the project has covered, and some recipes from each era. Using Tasting History as a blueprint, participants were treated to examples of fun and educational programming ideas for ALL age groups, which could be used as is or as a jumping off point for further creativity for library programs and culinary adventures. Tips were given on how to directly copy the NYS Library’s program, including steps such as choosing your recipes, having participants sign up to prepare a dish, and taking lots of pictures to share on social media. If sharing on social media isn’t an option then participants can talk about their experiences making their recipe, sharing with the group any issues they had or, if they made the recipe again, and what changes they might make. Participants can also be asked to rate all the dishes and give feedback on the recipes. Programming ideas for children included hosting a cooking-themed storytime complete with book options, craft ideas, and recipes for children and their adults to take home and make, or having children make a simple historical recipe in the library. YA program ideas included watching a YouTube creator make an historical recipe then recreating it (or purchasing the food) to taste or hosting a retro candy challenge! For adult programs, collecting recipes from community members to make an online community cookbook, watching an historical movie or show and sampling recipes from the same era, or a passive historical recipe display were some of the ideas offered. Interested in looking for historical recipes? Librarians can start by looking for recipes in their own collections! Choosing an historical era that works for what you have available or searching for cookbooks created by organizations in your community are a great place to begin. That’s also a good way to tie your program to local history. Newspapers and magazines can also contain recipes so if you have a robust collection of either, you might find a goldmine! Exploring the past through recipes can shed some light on what people’s lives were like - what ingredients they had available to them, the technical requirements to make their food, and how their food tasted. All along, the NYS Library’s Tasting History project has aimed to start conversations about the past and the very human experiences we can all relate to, starting with the foods we eat. If you’d like to view the recording of Tasting History @ Your Library and get some great program ideas for culinary adventures, you can access it on the Archived Webinars<https://cslpreads.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd…> page of the NY State Library’s Youth Services site.
