poetry program recommendation
by Sara Jurek 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Last night, Northville District Library hosted Parvinder Mehta, a Sikh American poet, to share poems from her recently published Anthology, *On Wings of Words*. Parvinder is a born teacher and talked about her poems as she read them, making her words very accessible to the audience. Our patrons really enjoyed the program- most participants even purchased a copy of her book. Parvinder's contact information: p.mehta(a)yahoo.com A short bio: Dr. Parvinder Mehta is a Sikh American emerging poet who earned her Ph.D. in English from Wayne State University. She currently teaches undergraduate courses in literature, Asian art, and film along with writing courses at Wayne State. Through her creative work, she hopes to allow the readers to patiently listen to whispers of social justice, echoes of our buried histories, and melodies of human potential for a more ethical and compassionate world. -- Sara Jurek (she/her) Adult Services Librarian Northville District Library 212 W.

WebJunction content and upcoming webinars
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 08 Nov '23

WebJunction content and upcoming webinars - November 8, 2023 Highlighted Content Resources for Supporting Veterans and Military-Affiliated Patrons<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/veterans-resources-for-librari…>: Libraries play a vital role in serving the diverse needs of their communities, and one group that often benefits greatly is our nation's Veterans, current military members, and their families. Chances are you’re already doing great work in welcoming this population, offering needed information and services, and helping them stay connected to their communities. This collection of resources can help libraries enhance their support for our military-affiliated community members, ensuring that they receive the assistance and recognition they deserve. Explore topics including mental health resources, community engagement, employment and education information, and community reintegration after military service. Explore a selection of booklists and podcasts that offer display ideas and firsthand stories from those who have served. Time to Change the "Checklist": A Toolkit for Reimagining School Readiness<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/school-readiness-toolkit.html>: A literature review of over 150 research studies indicates that we are missing the mark in preparing our children for school by equating “school readiness” with a finite checklist of academic skills to be mastered by age five. Instead, we should think about school readiness as a robust developmental process that spans the early childhood years through age eight. Libraries are perfect places for children to develop early learning skills and practices to prepare them for school. You may already be offering opportunities at your library in programs such as storytimes, play groups, and STEM/STEAM workshops. Or maybe you want some planning and assessment tools to help you learn and communicate the impact of this programming for the families in your community. The free, online Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit, includes an easy-to-use structure for incorporating these important skills and practices into the programs in your library. Advancing IDEAs: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, 7 November 2023<https://hangingtogether.org/advancing-ideas-inclusion-diversity-equity-acce…>: This is the latest Hanging Together blog post, part of a regular series<https://hangingtogether.org/tag/IDEA/> on issues of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility, compiled by a team of OCLC contributors. WebJunction Webinars These upcoming webinars are open for registration. If you can’t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog<https://learn.webjunction.org/>. Let’s Talk Race: Community Healing through Conversation Tuesday, November 14, 2023 ◆ 2:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/lets-talk-race.html Library communities around the country are seeing rising levels of division, distrust, and segregation. Recognizing the need for community healing, library staff at the Richland Library in South Carolina formed the Let’s Talk Race team to explore strategies for deepening community connections and engagement. Since 2016, the Let’s Talk Race team has facilitated more than 250 in-person or online discussions, community forums, and events, reaching more than 4,000 participants, and creating opportunities for civic engagement, community connections, and courageous conversations. Earlier this year, the Richland Library launched the open-source Let’s Talk Race Curriculum<https://www.richlandlibrary.com/lets-talk-race-curriculum>, providing a set of easy-to-follow resources for other libraries, museums, and related organizations to implement with their local communities. The curriculum includes facilitation best practices, conversation guides, videos, and more. The curriculum provides a learning pathway to help get started, build facilitation skills, and create conversation guides to hold your own circles of dialog. Living Our Values Out Loud: Programs that Walk the Talk Tuesday, November 28, 2023 ◆ 2:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/living-our-values-out-loud.h… >From zero-waste events to upcycling to refreshments, how we choose to carry out our work in libraries says a lot about our values. We can’t just pay lip service to sustainability-we need to practice what we’re talking about! This webinar will be an inspiring discussion with a panel of practitioners who have found ways to design, implement, and evaluate library programs using frameworks that better represent their libraries' values, such as the triple bottom line definition of sustainability and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Tools for Reimagining School Readiness Tuesday, December 5, 2023 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 90 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/tools-for-reimagining-school… Libraries play a vital role in preparing young children for school by providing interactive and playful programs in which children can develop social, emotional, math, science, and executive function skills and practices. Research has shown these skills to be important for later academic and lifelong success. The Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit<https://bayareadiscoverymuseum.org/resources/educator-resources/library-too…> provides free, online, research-based resources, created specifically for library staff. These resources make it easy for you to enhance what you are already doing, with eye-catching tips, planning tools, program surveys, activity ideas, family conversation starters, social media posts, and more. Stronger Together: Collective Impact and Climate Action Programming Wednesday, December 13, 2023 ◆ 2:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am Pacific ◆ 90 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/collective-impact-climate-ac… Libraries are catalysts and conveners for climate action in our communities.

Greetings, November 16, 2023, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM: The Open Meetings Act (OMA) Refresher Who can speak during a public meeting? Who sets the agenda? Is a committee under the OMA?

This session will provide a refresher on the OMA , and also discuss some amendments that are (hopefully) on the way!

The Cat in the Hat performs HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS at YOUR Library this Holiday!
by romeoisojuliet＠aol.com 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Dear Michigan Library Branch, My name is Paul Riopelle. I'm a professional actor who does live Christmas appearances as The Cat in the Hat, performing HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, as well as two other holiday favorites, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, and T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I was writing to inquire if your branch might have interest in bringing our program in for your patrons and their families this holiday season. This is a fully-memorized and acted-out version of Dr. Seuss' beloved classic, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, with lots of audience participation. I teach the audience the "Who Song" to sing near the end of the tale, and even choose a volunteer to play Cindy Lou Who, complete with Who-antennas! In addition to the main tale, the program also includes performances of the Children's favorites FROSTY THE SNOWMAN and 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. The visit opens with leading the children in a Christmas sing-a-long, then moves to the three stories, and ends with a final Christmas carol. Candy canes can also be passed out to the children, if desired. The program lasts about 30 minutes, followed by photo-ops with each child and family. Attached you will find a press photo of the program, and you may find a short clip of me performing the first few stanzas of the show at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N5ia4Nsfakr2dor0Wp2tZwrl9nKTMiix/view?usp=… Upon reviewing the attached materials, I hope you will have interest in learning more. To my knowledge, there's no other performer out there bringing this Holiday Classic to life in the way I do, so I'd LOVE to bring it to your library branch this Christmas season. Performances are very reasonably priced, with even lower rates available for multiple presentations on a single day. Please feel free to contact me at any time at this email address, or at my cell number, 312-339-9406. I look forward to discussing the possibilities! With warm regards, Paul Riopelle
