However, there is an entirely different class of book bans that are political, politicized, and performative which must be understood in order to be properly engaged. For public libraries, these challenges are used to attack the library's funding, its staff, or even its existence. In school libraries, these performative and politicized challenges seem to attack or negate the students the books represent. In order to face these unusual types of challenges, library leaders in both public and school settings need to see that these challenges are more expansive than previous intellectual freedom fights - and need to be prepared to engage them on multiple fronts at once. Join MLA and MAME for a discussion with EveryLibrary Executive Director John Chrastka about ways to anticipate and answer highly politicized challenges with integrity to your mission and compassion for the community or students your library serves.

Hello Libraries- I have a local elementary school (k-5) that is looking for options for a children's author (virtual) visit. If you have had a virtual children's author talk in the last 2 years could you please respond with who it was. If you know how much they charge and have a sense of how well it went that would be appreciated as well. Thank you!! [cid:image001.jpg@01D82E27.1C76CE60] Miriam Andrus Director, Grace A.

The Libraries and Veterans National Forum Toolkit
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

I am very pleased to share with you an IMLS Grant Funded project "The Libraries and Veterans National Forum Toolkit." The Libraries and Veterans National Forum was born out of efforts from librarians at the Texas A&M University Libraries and their desire to better learn from other libraries' efforts to support the veteran and military communities. Collaborating with librarians from academic, public, school, state, and VA libraries, the Libraries and Veterans National Forum project team gathered 250 librarians engaging in this work to share their success stories, brainstorm solutions to their challenges, and gain new ideas to bring back to their libraries. The online Forum took place during the Fall of 2021, and recordings of the Forum sessions will be made available on this site Librarians across the U.S. also had the opportunity to apply for microgrants that could seed veterans' programming at their local libraries. To help librarians just getting started working with veterans, as well as those looking for new ideas to bring to their libraries, an online toolkit was created to collect the shared knowledge of librarians working with the veteran community. It contains lesson plans, program outlines, collection development policies, best practice documents, and more to help ease the way for those just getting started in this work - and to make it easier for those already engaged to find new ideas and new strategies to increase the success of their programs. We are also pleased to launch the Libraries and Veterans National Forum Toolkit: Home - Libraries and Veterans National Forum - Libraries and Veterans National Forum at Libraries and Veterans National Forum (libguides.com)<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fveterans.…> Please let me know if you have any questions.

Door counters

I know this question has been asked and I apologize for asking again, but we find ourselves in need of a new door counter and I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions for us? We are a small rural library with an average of 50-100 visitors a day (depending on the time of year). Any advice is welcome! -- Cindi L.
