MiYouth Tuesday, June 14th 2:00 PM ET Join LM's Youth Services Advisory Council (YSAC) for discussion and idea sharing around programs that will entice kids back into your library this year. Please note that MiYouth has transitioned to quarterly meetings on the 2nd Tuesday at 2pm. Looking forward to seeing you at the next "MiYouth TWOsday!" MiYouth meetings are open to all public library staff who work with youth in Michigan. Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/506813991?pwd=Z2NBMTFES1BlRlNVc2lhbzV1eTJ0QT09 Password: 454345 CSLP For the past few years the Library of Michigan has provided editable PDFs for Michigan public libraries to enter their programming and contact information on and use for promoting your summer library programs. I'm a little behind in this action this year, so here are the final files for the Summer Reading Logs for you directly: https://bit.ly/OceansLogs<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F…>. Again, each one has editable fields for you to edit/fill as you see fit, or you can print as-is. These files are available in the "Additional Materials" folder in the CSLP Online Manual<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…>, but feel free to access and download them today at https://bit.ly/OceansLogs<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F…>. (To edit a PDF you can use Acrobat DC<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe…>, or you can search online for tips on how to edit without Acrobat.) This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Resources Fostering Readers has resources to help manage family participation in structured literacy activities designed for K-3rd graders: * Extended activity plans<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffostering…> include tips for "Family Engagement" in the navigation bar along the right side of each plan and "Messages for Caregivers" in the variations and extended learning section at the end of the plan. * Literacy messages<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffostering…> to share with parents and caregivers in English and Spanish. These are like the Every Child Ready to Read early literacy messages many of us have integrated into storytimes and other programs. For example: * When children are allowed to choose their own books, they read more and develop lifelong reading habits and strategies. Cuando pueden escoger sus propios libros, los niños leen más y forman costumbres y estrategias de lectura que les servirán durante toda su vida. * Reading isn't always a quiet activity! Kids need to talk before, during, and after reading to develop comprehension skills. La conversación puede dar vida a la lectura. Los niños tienen que hablar antes de, durante, y después de leer; eso facilita la comprensión. * Give parents and caregivers handouts<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffostering…> at the beginning of the activity so that they can support kids during the activity * Visual Thinking Strategies<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffostering…> (bilingual) * Fostering Reading Growth in English<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffostering…> and Spanish<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffostering…> The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table (CSKBART) is hosting a FREE webinar.

community calendars and marketing
by Amber Alexander 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hello Michigan Library Land! What are libraries doing or helping with regarding 'Community Calendars?' Are you using Localhop? What are libraries doing regarding community events for their town, area, or county? What role does the library play as a marketing and promotion guru of community wide events (from other organizations or entities)? Is this a new role for the library to play in their local communities (in knowing that not all people and/or entities have the skillsets or experiences in marketing, but the library may have those that are available)? We see or hear of so many other programs and events that 'fit our mission' but are not our programs but we want to help promote to a more wider audience. Not just by having the flyer up on the community bulletin board but by sharing on social media. Thanks, Amber Alexander Library Director, MLIS Presque Isle District Library 181 E. Erie Street Rogers City, MI 49779 989.734.2477, 101 www.pidl.org <http://www.pidl.org/>
