08 Feb '24

Hello I reached out to a contact for the State Tax forms and this was the reply: One of our forms was expected to deliver to our mailing house last Friday. They are currently fulfilling shipments. You can expect your delivery as soon as this week or as late as mid-February depending where you are on their list. We apologize for the delay, we had to wait for DHHS to set a percentage on that last form. All forms are posted online at https://www.michigan.gov/taxes. --- On 02.06.2024 12:00 PM, michlib-l-request(a)mcls.org wrote: > Send Michlib-l mailing list submissions to > michlib-l(a)mcls.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mail3.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > michlib-l-request(a)mcls.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > michlib-l-owner(a)mcls.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Michlib-l digest..." > Today's Topics: > > 1.

MeL Minute: Valentine's Day in the Elementary Classroom
by Ann Kaskinen 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

[A white letter on a blue green and red background Description automatically generated]Many things have come to symbolize love—especially on Valentine’s Day: chocolate, cupid, hearts, jewelry, roses . . . the list is very long! With all these different symbols, this holiday offers a great way to blend the fun of the day with connections to the MDE Academic Standards<https://www.michigan.gov/mde/Services/academic-standards> for elementary students. The Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL) provides free access to encyclopedia and magazine articles, eBooks, images, and video clips that can be used to build background knowledge and further learning about many of the topics that get shared on or around this special day. Chocolate With a nod to the sciences, the subject of chocolate may inspire a comparison between local ecosystems versus those that exist where cocoa beans grow. While the eBook K-8 Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers Beans to Chocolate<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, a colorful text that guides readers through the details of cocoa growth and production, Britannica School<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=eb> provides specific facts about chocolate<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/chocolate/273650> and ecosystems<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/ecosystem/384948>, as well as an interactive atlas<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/browse/atlas> to help learners realize the proximity of growing regions in Africa or South America to the well-known Hershey<https://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/Hershey/40237>, Pennsylvania chocolate factory. Britannica also offers a curated list of Web’s Best Sites behind the Related tab, including Inventors and Inventions: Chocolate<https://www.who-invented-the.technology/chocolate.htm>. Gemstones & Gold Conversations in the classroom about gemstones can easily become early elementary lessons in economics. PebbleGo<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=pe…> Social Studies gives Kindergarten through second grade students access to engaging read-aloud text and media that articulates needs and wants, consumers and producers, goods and services, and supply and demand. Inside the Gold Industry<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, from the eBook K-8 Collection, invites readers to consider both the negative and positive effects of industry on a local economy, and the eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers texts to help young students learn further about Diamonds<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>, Groovy Gems<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…> and Marveling at Minerals<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…>. For additional facts, images, and video clips, Britannica School also covers economics<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/economics/353081>, diamond<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/diamond/353050>, gold<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/gold/353190>, platinum<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/platinum/276461>, and silver<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/silver/277067>. Hearts To learn all about the heart parts, what makes a heartbeat, blood vessels, and more, Your Hardworking Heart and Spectacular Circulatory System<https://auth.mel.org/newera/check-direct?url=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/…> title from the eBook K-8 Collection is the perfect place to start. To see a beating, human heart<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/assembly/view/146006>, the video clip in Britannica Elementary<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=eb…> is just what you’re seeking. Moreover, Britannica has articles, images and more video clips on blood<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/blood/273256> and the cardiovascular system<https://school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/cardiovascular-system/273674>. There are so many eResources available in MeL to support all the great symbols of Valentine’s Day; this is only the beginning! If you have any MeL eResources questions or issues, contact melerhelp(a)mcls.org<mailto:melerhelp@mcls.org> for help. Brought to you by Ann Kaskinen from the MeL Team.

Fwd: Get on the Seed Library Map!
by Wendy Chapman 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hello all, Please see the below e-mail with regard to the Global Seed Library Census. By now, many of you should have heard from your volunteer contact. In some cases that person was me. If you have not been contacted and would like to fill out the census for your active Seed Library please follow the links below. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks, Wendy Wendy L. Chapman LoT Coordinator Buchanan District Library 269.695.3681 Ext. 16 *www.buchananlibrary.org <http://www.buchananlibrary.org>* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Seed Library Network <rebecca(a)seedlibrarynetwork.ccsend.com> Date: Wed, Feb 7, 2024 at 1:49 PM Subject: Get on the Seed Library Map! To: <w.chapman(a)buchananlibrary.com> Have you completed our seed census? Cool Beans! Seed Library Network Get on the Seed Library Map! We are in the midst of an exciting project: a seed library census that is slowly creating a digital map of the world’s seed libraries! Working off the list of over 2600 entries of seed libraries collected over the last decade, a group of volunteers is sending an email to each email address listed and requesting that they complete the short census form. The project’s focus is on currently active seed libraries. The census is available in fourteen languages. (See below) Can you help us spread the word? If you manage a seed library and haven’t received the Seed Library Census email, check your Spam or Promo folders. The emails were sent from volunteers’ email addresses so they may have been directed to these folders because of unfamiliar addresses. If you know of other seed libraries in your area, please forward the email with the census link to them. This includes schools, county Extensions, non-profits, farms, or community seed libraries.They should be currently active in lending free seeds to their communities. Do you have multiple seed library branches? We ask that you fill in the census for each branch. Make your work easy by only answering Section 2 (i.e., seed collection, resources & needs) the first time you fill in the census. For the other branches, you only need to fill in Section 1(i.e., name, address, type of location), and add a photo (optional and only available for Google emails. Take a photo of your seed library (preferably of the actual seed library, not the building) add the text “Get Your Seed Library on the Map!” and post it on social media with a link to the census form, bit.ly/seedcensus. Be sure to tag us @seedlibraries. Why are we doing a seed census? Seed libraries are popping up throughout our global community and there is much wisdom to be shared. Seed librarians and gardeners know that developing a local seed economy serves many in their communities, creates regionally climate-adapted seed collections, and maintains access to a genetically diverse supply of open-pollinated seeds. Our goal is to build a network where seed librarians can share their experiences and knowledge with others and nurture the continued development of seed libraries throughout the world. Global Seed Library Census Links Languages We apologize for only being able to offer this census in several languages and acknowledge that some of these languages are part of a history of oppression and colonization. Please feel free to fill in the form in a language that best meets the needs of your community. If you have any questions, comments, or corrections about the census, please email us <seedlibrarycensus(a)gmail.com>.
