Summer Reading Library Video Collab
by Katie Rothley 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Hi all! I'm thinking it would be really cool to do a SRP video with any library that would like to contribute and make it (inspired by) similar to the awesome Freedom to Read video <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IAHqimGhnlP1b08MDexGlC8p3ML3mewt/view> that was made last year or the year before. I am an "intermediate" video editor, so I'm happy to do that. Feel welcome to fill out this Google Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLkIY_WngEdE5b8pKceM0xErvA9GK5mjI…> that Cathy Lancaster from the Library of Michigan created and I'll send out an email in about a week for a brainstorming meeting potential date for our script. :) I am sharing this with Michlib-L and my consortium, TLN. If any other consortium would like to share, too, you're welcome to since I don't have those emails. -- 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.

Dear K-12 Educators and Youth Librarians, We are doctoral students at Oakland University working under the direction of Dr. Tanya Christ, a professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning. We are conducting a research study to discover the impact of the United States’ sociopolitical climate on current literacy practices. We are recruiting current K-12 educators who teach literacy in some capacity (e.g., K-5 elementary teachers, grade 6-12 teachers including ELA and other content area teachers, reading specialists, literacy interventionists, etc.) or youth librarians to complete an online survey about whether/how the sociopolitical context in the U.S. is affecting their professional practices. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes. Your participation in this study is voluntary. The research will take place online, so you may access the survey anywhere and using any device you choose. If you have any questions about the research, please contact Dr. Christ via email at christ(a)oakland.edu<mailto:christ@oakland.edu> To participate in the survey, please click the link below: https://oakland.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_djvbpxhvu5jGOX4 Sincerely, Dr. Tanya Christ Danielle Alexander Nathan Heim Yujie Mao Jennifer Ostheimer Mary Patillo-Dunn Kim Stein  Reply  Forward Heather Wood-Gramza Michigan eLibrary Coordinator she | her | hers [cid:704e204a-00f1-4b41-9e07-fd9ee9186c8e] Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo Street PO Box 30007 Lansing, MI 48909-7507 Office: 517.335.1497 [cid:79f317dd-6b4e-4bd4-bc78-2b5cb40aaf05] Get personalized voter information on early voting and other topics at Michigan.gov/Vote.

WebJunction content and upcoming webinars Highlighted Content Hopkinton Public Library unites community in library planning<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/hopkinton-library-unites-commu…>: There are thousands of public libraries in the United States, all different sizes with unique communities. Though larger libraries may often benefit from higher staff counts and bigger budgets, size isn’t everything. This is definitely the case for the 2,000-square-foot Hopkinton Public Library in Iowa. A team of just two enthusiastically support 338 library card holders, across Hopkinton and the county. They offer an impressive, weekly slate of engaging programs. And people love them. In fact, some event attendance numbers have eclipsed the total cardholder count, even when there’s a cost. So, what’s the secret sauce? Including the community from beginning to end. From an annual haunted house to community bake-offs, the library incorporates locals for ideation and program planning, so they feel invested and want to participate. Monthly list of free webinars for library staff<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/free-webinars-for-library-staf…>: As you may be aware, the team at the Maine State Library are now managing the national free calendar for library staff learning. Thank you to the Wyoming State Library for compiling this valuable resource for over 17 years, and much appreciation to the Maine State Library for your commitment to continue this important work. WebJunction publishes the list to WebJunction.org each month, on two pages—one listing the offerings by topic. These links remain the same, month to month: * https://www.webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html (with topics) * https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/free-webinars-for-library-staf… (without topics) And if you have submissions for the list, or questions for the MSL team: * View and subscribe to the Maine State Library Continuing Education (CE) Calendar at: https://maine-msl.libguides.com/CECAL (All events are listed in EST time). * Do you have a free program that you would like us to consider for next month?

Creating a person-centered library: supporting patrons while avoiding burnout Wednesday, March 13, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 90 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/creating-person-centered-lib… Are you feeling the strain of serving patrons with complex needs? Is your library seeing increased patron behavioral issues and mental health concerns? This session reviews ideas and approaches for how libraries can support both high-needs patrons and staff. As a result of this webinar, you will be able to: * Articulate the changing needs of library patrons and how these impact staff * Learn strategies for assessing your library’s unique needs * Discuss helpful programs, collaborations, and/or services for high-needs patrons * Apply person-centered strategies to begin creating cultural change in your library * Anticipate potential barriers to change Leadership strategies for building connection and diffusing difficult situations Tuesday, April 30, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/leadership-strategies.html As library staff, our collective morale and goodwill are often eroded by a tidal wave of factors including book challenges, budget constraints, staffing shortages, toxic online discourse, and an increasingly divided culture. In times like these, searching for common ground might sound naïve or idealistic, but intentionally cultivating these mindsets can have a profound effect on your organizational culture, communication, problem-solving, and mental health. This webinar introduces skills grounded in the “Good Inside” approach, and will cover practical strategies to develop empathetic, curiosity-led leadership that assumes good intent in moments of conflict and stress, along with actionable communication skills for connection and cooperation.
