Please join NDL online via Zoom this Saturday, August 27 at 1 PM for a presentation on the history of LEGO and some fun challenges
by Katie Rothley 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Good Monday morning everyone! Please consider sharing this on your communication channels, or please join us at the event this Saturday! We hope to see you there. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 22, 2022 Contact: Laura Mancini, Library Director Northville District Library 212 W Cady St, Northville, MI 48167 248.349.3020, ext. 206 lmancini(a)northvillelibrary.org NDL to explore the vast history of all-time fan favorite, LEGO, with Bricks McGee Northville, MI: Everyone has heard of LEGO, those brightly colored blocks that snap together to build whatever your imagination can think up, and has most likely grown up with them too. They’re well known for a variety of popular culture-themed projects and cool STEM activities, but also for a shocking and nasty surprise if you happen to step on one. Or two. But do you know where they come from or how LEGO started as a business? Did you know that the name ‘LEGO’ is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”? Did you also know that the “brick in its present form was launched in 1958”? (The LEGO Group, 2022). Join us online via Zoom on Saturday, August 27 from 1 PM to 3 PM to learn the history of LEGO and then engage in challenges at home with your own collection of LEGO! Bricks McGee will be presenting. Registration is required in order to receive the Zoom link to attend. Register on Northville District Library’s website here: [ https://bit.ly/NDLLEGO | https://bit.ly/NDLLEGO ] . This program is intended for LEGO enthusiasts over the age of eighteen but we will not restrict by age. LEGO are not provided by the Library and attendees should have their own LEGO at home to participate in the fun challenges. For more information, please visit Northville District Library’s website at: northvillelibrary.org; or telephone the Library at 248-349-3020. We are also on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Spotify, Flickr, YouTube, and TikTok. I have attached images, a .png of the event itself, and the press release in PDF format to this email.

Resources SLJ Day of Dialog Do you love authors and hearing about their creative process? Do you live to add books to your TBR pile and library? Skip the travel, and join SLJ October 6 for the most anticipated librarian gathering of the fall 2022 publishing season-fully virtual and free to attend! A daylong program of author panels, in-depth conversations, and keynote talks will leave you informed, inspired, and entertained. Register: https://vshow.on24.com/vshow/SLJDoD100622/registration. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' (MDHHS) Stay Well program is offering educational tools and resources to help create and maintain a calm learning environment. Among the free tools available are child-friendly "Create Your Calm" posters, stickers and magnets. These items demonstrate simple breathing and emotional grounding exercises that anyone can do when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, tense or distracted. The items may be ordered by completing this form<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, which is available on the "Resources for Schools" page of the Stay Well website<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. The grant-funded Stay Well program launched in early 2020 to help Michiganders cope with emotional distress caused by the COVID-19 public health crisis. The program is sharply focused on serving youth and their caregivers, including parents, teachers and school counselors. "Numerous studies show the mental health of our young people declined during the pandemic," said Jody Lewis, Stay Well program director. "That has made teaching all the more challenging, leading to burnout and emotional stress among educators. Create Your Calm is intended as a reminder to kids and adults alike that we can concentrate and learn better when our minds and bodies are relaxed. We hope schools - and youth-oriented organizations of all types - will take advantage of these free resources." Also available on the Resources for Schools page are recorded webinars with strategies for addressing behavioral and mental health issues among students: * Helping Students Thrive: Tools for promoting social-emotional development<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * Part 1 - Self-compassion * Part 2 - Relaxation and mindfulness * Part 3 - Control: noticing and managing thoughts * Psychological First Aid: Supporting students during a pandemic<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * Be Kind to your Mind: Friends helping friends<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. This webinar is for teens who want to know how to help their struggling friends (i.e., what a panic attack looks like, the best ways to offer support, warning signs of suicide) and also how to improve their own mental wellness. To learn more, visit Michigan.gov/StayWell<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is pleased to announce the availability of $24.5 million in funds for a grant to provide in-person before-school, after-school, before-and-after-school, or during the summer programming to children in grades K to 12.
