Grant opportunities: Michigan Architectural Foundation
by Rebekah Craft 19 May '22

19 May '22

Good morning, The Michigan Architectural Foundation is looking to provide education grants for libraries in Michigan to help support STEM programming statewide. Previously, Baldwin worked with the MAF to develop and purchase items for STEM kits that included building and architecture toys/tools along with a list of program ideas for various ages. These kits were then delivered to libraries around the state to use for in house programming. They want to provide grants in the amount of $5,000-10,000 for programs that would attract kids from preschool to 18 years of age. They prefer to fund rather than develop the program. Right now MAF is in the information gathering stage. If you have any ideas of something they could do that could benefit your library, please let me know and I will forward it to the committee working on this project. Thanks, Rebekah *--* *Rebekah Craft* *Library Director* Baldwin Public Library 300 W. Merrill St. Birmingham, MI 48009 www.baldwinlib.org | 248-554-4681

Who has time to deal with conflicts? When conflict occurs, and we are confronted with a colleague, library patron, supervisor, or board member who is frustrated and upset, it can be tempting to identify a quick fix. However, when we do take the time to practice clear communication to uncover what people really need, we can get to better outcomes. Practicing healthy communication skills will boost your self-confidence and contribute to a happier workplace.

As public library leaders and staff consider how to prepare for similar local challenges, being proactive about developing and sharing policies and procedures can help to create clarity and establish expectations around responses to book challenges. This preparation may also include engaging stakeholders, partners, and supporters around the value and essential need for intellectual freedom in the library. Join this discussion with panelists who are working through these issues in their communities, to learn about the resources they have found useful, and their suggestions for getting started.

Featuring both an online and in-person version to help patrons navigate misinformation, Euphorigen was designed by faculty, staff, and students at the University of Washington Information School in response to library staff requests for alternatives to traditional information literacy programs. In this webinar we'll explore how the designers approach teaching about misinformation, learn how libraries are using the escape room with their patrons, and find out how to get started with the Euphorigen Investigation at your library.

Low levels in literacy can impact many aspects of daily life including the ability to find and maintain employment, navigate health care needs, and complete government forms. This webinar will explore the characteristics of adults with low literacy levels and how they differ from those of adults with learning disabilities, including how and why each of these groups approaches reading. Learn about the importance and value of developing literacy skills, as well as strategies for library staff on how to identify when someone may need literacy support, how to broach the subject with a patron, and ways to suggest materials and resources to reluctant adults who may be struggling with literacy.
