30 Sep '22

Transforming Teen Services [YALSA Logo]An In-Person Workshop, 10am-5pm ET at the three following locations: Monday, November 14th at Bloomfield Township Public Library<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…>, Tuesday, November 15th at KDL's Kentwood Branch<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…>, or Thursday, November 17th at Otsego County Library<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…> Having challenges with programming and interacting with teens? Be sure to join us! This workshop will introduce participants to the core concepts of Connected Learning (CL) and Computational Thinking (CT) and how they apply to teen services. We will explore the Connected Learning principles of relationships, interests and opportunities and how to apply the theory into practice. Using the concepts of CT as a problem-solving framework, we will take part in an activity that introduces library staff to a project they can use for teen programming. Participate in hands-on, interactive learning and discuss what CL and CT are and how they can be integrated into teen activities. This workshop will help participants scaffold knowledge they may already have about CL and CT and use it to recognize the ways in which CT supports CL. Space is limited and there will be a waitlist. If you register but need to cancel, please do so 72 hours before the event so we can arrange for someone to fill your seat. This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.

Good morning, everyone: We're having study rooms installed, and are considering best practices for providing access (sign-up versus "first come, first served"), and setting/enforcing a time limit. If you're willing to share your library's study room policies and/or your experiences with study rooms, it would be much appreciated! I'll collect any responses I receive and share them with anyone who's interested. Many thanks-- Paige "I read everything. The library fed me." --Louise Erdrich, when asked 'What kind of reader were you as a child?'

News we need from Marquette
by Noah Lenstra 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2022/09/28/teens-cook-marquette-food-c… "MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Teens are learning to cook in Marquette. The Peter White Public Library held a teen cooking class at the Marquette Food Co-op. The library invited kids from ages 11 to 18 to learn how to make different dishes using fresh and local food. On the menu Wednesday was shakshuka, a North African dish consisting of a poached egg in tomato sauce. Organizers say the event was a fun way to learn important life skills. “It’s very hands-on learning,” said Amanda Pierce, Peter White Public Library teen coordinator. “We show them a few techniques then they cook the whole recipe from start to finish. It’s just a way to give the kids some life skills and make it fun for them.” This free event was held at the Marquette Food Co-op Wednesday from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. The Peter White Public Library’s next event is a costume swap this Saturday. It will be accepting costumes through Friday."
