ALA grant for libraries serving incarcerated people or assisting those re-entering society
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

FYI for those libraries with programs for incarcerated or recently released people or those who would like to begin such a program. The ALA Building Library Capacity Grant is for up to $10,000 and the deadline is April 12th. There is more information below and at https://www.ala.org/aboutala/Building-Library-Capacity-Grants. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 / www.mi.gov/lsta ________________________________ The American Library Association (ALA) announces the opening of the second year of the ALA Building Library Capacity Grants that will provide grants to libraries serving incarcerated prople or assisting those re-entering society. Up to sixteen $10,000 grants will be given to successful applicants nationwide. The application site is open now. The application deadline is April 12, 2024, with awards announced at the end of May. There will be a virtual grant information session on Tuesday, March 19 at 3 p.m. Central Time. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, nearly 2 million individuals were incarcerated in 2023 in the United States- in prisons, jails, juvenile correctional centers, and other detention institutions. Research shows that increasing the literacy rates and strengthening the library and information access opportunities for detained and formerly detained individuals often correlates to successful rehabilitation and reentry. The grants are intended to bolster library operations and services including literacy and other skill development, developing collections, staffing, expanding outreach, as well as maintaining and amplifying existing service strategies or adding new ones to make an impact. "The American Library Association is committed to library access for everyone, especially for those whose access is too often unfairly restricted. These grants directly contribute to our mission," said ALA President Emily Drabinski, "ALA truly appreciates the generous support and long-standing commitment of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to assist under resourced libraries serving underserved or marginalized communities post-pandemic." The grant is open to 1) libraries already serving incarcerated people or providing services to those re-entering society, or 2) those who would like to use the grant to begin serving incarcerated people or starting services for those re-entering society. It is open for both libraries in carceral institutions and those outside carceral institutions. The ALA Building Library Capacity Grants are supported through a three-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Each year focuses on helping add capacity to different segments of the library community. About the American Library Association \

MeL Minute: The Complexities of Nutrition
by Wood-Gramza, Heather (MDE) 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

[cid:18200a54-bdca-4f76-8410-198d622c24f6] The Complexities of Nutrition The Dietary Guidelines for Americans<https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/resources/2020-2025-dietary-guidelines-on…>, released every 5 years by the US Department of Health and Human Services, encourage individuals to prioritize healthy eating in every life stage, to consume food that is dense in nutrients across food groups, to stay within daily caloric guidelines, and to limit added sugars, saturated fat, sodium, and alcohol. While the path to good health through nutrition appears to be straightforward, it is a more complex matter. The eResources available through the Michigan eLibrary (MeL)<mel.org> offer information on additional factors that are thought to contribute to the obesity epidemic in America. Access to Healthy Foods Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=ov…> offers content that allows individuals to take a critical look at factors impacting health and nutrition<https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=OVIC&u=lom_accessmich&id=GALE|PC3021900120&v=…>. One factor is access to affordable, healthy, nutrient-dense foods. The Impact of Food Environments on Obesity Rates<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, a research article published in the Journal of Obesity<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, outlined the correlation between the prevalence of food deserts, food swamps and obesity. For the purposes of this study, food deserts were defined as areas lacking grocery stores with healthy foods and food swamps as areas that were primarily inundated with fast-food restaurants and convenience stores. The findings suggested that community gardens<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, farmers' markets<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, modified zoning regulations, and incentives<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…> for grocers to do business in lower-income areas could help toward healthier outcomes for residents. Corporate Influence The report, How food companies influence evidence and opinion<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, illustrates how leaders within the food industry were seeking ways to influence public policy, discredit research or studies that were conducted outside of those already sponsored by those corporations, and to gain positions on boards of medical and other health related organizations. The article Beyond Nutrition and physical activity: food industry shaping of the very principles of scientific integrity<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…> highlights the conflict of interest that occurs when corporations sponsor research related to health. Not unlike the studies sponsored by tobacco companies to deny the harms of secondhand smoke, those involved in the food industry have shaped research and disseminated information that meets its interests. Resources at the Ready For those interested in learning more about health equity and initiatives to improve health and nutrition outcomes for all, MeL offers eBooks such as A Health Equity Approach to Obesity Efforts<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, Driving Action and Progress on Obesity Prevention and Treatment<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, and Advancing Obesity Solutions Through Investments in the Built Environment<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>. If you have any MeL eResources questions or issues, contact melerhelp(a)mcls.org<mailto:melerhelp@mcls.org> for help. Brought to you by Heather Wood-Gramza from the MeL Team. Supporting Michigan Libraries by Putting You First. Want more information on MeL?  Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, visit http://mel.org<http://mel.org/>, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery<https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/subscriber/new>. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. MeL eResources are available to Michigan residents or for Michigan library or school access only.
