As our schools’ staff and students across the state are recovering from the pandemic and are also experiencing challenges affecting our students' right to read, it is even more important that all staff and students have access to the resources, services, and experiences provided by certified school librarians. School libraries are “more than books.” School librarians are teachers, literacy and reading experts, information specialists, program administrators, and leaders within their schools who positively impact student achievement. Come join Kathy Lester and Dr. Kafi Kumasi at our April Advocacy Hour to learn more about school libraries and some current initiatives in our state. We will discuss how all MLA members can locally support this important issue. REGISTER <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mkxD0uq6_T1vQy6zSTT2yHCNcFUoiWoGMFQ-TQUChUu…> Guest Speakers Kathy Lester is the President-Elect of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), member of the ALA Committee for Library Advocacy, member of the ALA Ecosystem Subcommittee, and a Councilor-at-Large on ALA Council. Kathy has been a school librarian for over 20 years. Her school library was the Library of Michigan SL21 Model Library during the 2018-2019 school year. Dr. Kafi Kumasi is an associate professor of library and information science (LIS) at Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, where she teaches in the areas of school library media, urban librarianship, multicultural services, and resources and research methods. Dr. Kumasi leads the experimental school library certification program and is the principal investigator for “Project RUSL: Restoring Urban School Libraries”, an IMLS Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program award. Questions? Contact us at (517) 394-2774 or mla(a)milibraries.org. <mla(a)milibraries.org> MLA Connect Advocacy Hours are an opportunity for the library community to learn more about MLA's advocacy and legislative priorities including funding, elections, property taxes, literacy, internet access, privacy, intellectual freedom, and more. Each month, we will address a new topic and share any pending legislation introduced in the House or Senate that could impact the Michigan library community. Monthly sessions will take place generally on the third Thursday of the month at 10:00 AM. This advocacy hour is free to attend to anyone interested in joining the conversation!

Broadband Improvements: Free Planning Tools for Libraries - WebJunction April 20 at 3pm ET
by White, Shannon (MDE) 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Broadband Improvements: Free Planning Tools for Libraries Wednesday, April 20, 2022 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/broadband-improvements.html<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> Access to the internet through broadband connections has become a critical service in libraries, allowing staff and patrons to learn, connect and grow. But libraries with limited support for information technology (IT) may be challenged with how to assess broadband and related technologies to keep these services up to date. Join this session to learn how to use the Toward Gigbagit Libraries toolkit―a free, self-service guide created to help libraries understand and improve their IT capacities and broadband resources. The toolkit can help staff better articulate the library’s needs to leadership, policy makers, and broadband service providers, in order to improve on digitally serving the community and planning for the future. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan, 702 W. Kalamazoo, Lansing, MI 48909 Whites29(a)michigan.gov<mailto:Whites29@michigan.gov> 517-335-1507 | www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan<http://www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan>
