2022 Michigan Notable Books Author Tour Reminder and Promotional Material
by Oster, Adam (MDE) 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Just a reminder that Michigan Libraries may apply to participate in the 2022 Michigan Notable Books Author Tour. The application form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwyAZTCRp-_Zv5zwmVHpw4bLpQD8cPP8Y…> is on the Michigan Notable Books website under the "Information for Libraries" section: www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks<http://www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks>. Michigan libraries have until Monday, February 14, 2022 to submit their application. Please note: * Not all Michigan Notable Book authors are available to participate in the tour. The ones participating in the tour are listed on the application. We will do our best to assign one of your preferred choices for your library, though we cannot make any guarantees. Libraries may be assigned any of the participating authors based on availability. * 50 libraries will be selected to participate in the tour. We have several downloadable/printable graphics that libraries can use for promoting the Michigan Notable Books program: https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88854_90002-520507-…. We have a few more that should be uploaded soon so keep checking on the page periodically. Additionally, we are now highlighting each individual MNB title on the Library of Michigan's social media accounts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Feel free to share/retweet these posts on your own library accounts. A good strategy is to also share the post with the book's permanent record link from your catalog record so your patrons can put the item on hold. A special shout-out goes to Newaygo Area District Library<https://newaygolibrary.org/> for doing that with today's "Ancestor Approved" post! https://www.facebook.com/newaygolibrary/posts/10159668583532597 If you have any questions about the MNB program, 2022 tour or the application, feel free to email myself at OsterA(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:OsterA@Michigan.gov> or my colleague Mindy Babarskis at BabarskisM(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:BabarskisM@Michigan.gov>. Funding for the 2022 Michigan Notable Books program was made possible in part by Michigan Humanities<https://www.michiganhumanities.org/>, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Check them out today! https://shop.cslpreads.org<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cslp…> We need your help! Committee members are needed for the 2022 Theme and Slogan committee! We especially need volunteers with strong Spanish language skills. If interested, please contact Luke Kralik at: luke.kralik(a)cslpreads.org<mailto:luke.kralik@cslpreads.org?subject=Interested%20in%20serving%20on%20the%202022%20Themes%20and%20Slogan%20committee> Where do CSLP Themes and Slogans Come From? Over the years we have had some really fun themes and slogans. From "Libraries Rock" to "Catch the Reading Bug", CSLP slogans can serve as an excellent jumping off point to create a wonderful program for your community. However, have you ever wondered where CSLP themes and slogans come from? [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/0b99c2dd-918c-8b…] Like everything at CSLP, the themes and slogans are developed by library volunteers from across the country, usually a few years in advance. For a list of upcoming themes and slogans visit: https://www.cslpreads.org/themes-and-slogans/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> With the support of the Themes and Slogan committee, the first step happens early in the year, when CSLP State Representatives (often the Youth Consultant at your State Library) gather your suggestions, and submit them to the committee. The Themes and Slogan committee then organizes the submissions, and eliminates duplicates. With the the theme ideas, this is usually all that needs to be done. With the slogan ideas though, more work needs to happen. To help ensure that the slogans have wide appeal, "listening sessions" take place in the spring. These sessions follow a "town hall" structure, and are an opportunity for all library staff to weigh in on their favorite suggestions, and to help wordsmith the final results. Keep any eye out for session dates and times from your State Representative, or in upcoming newsletters. The committee then incorporates the feedback from the listening sessions into the "final" list of slogans. This list is then translated into Spanish by translation professionals, and the translations are reviewed by committee volunteers. After translation, the list is submitted to a law firm to ensure that the potential slogans do not infringe on any existing trademarks. The list of translated and vetted themes and slogans are then voted on by CSLP State Representative at their Annual Meeting in the fall! Fun fact: Slogan that are not chosen often end up as chapter headings in the programming manual! Need a quick worksheet? This simple worksheet was created in Word with just a few art elements, and a text box. Remember, all member libraries can created any "paper item" with CSLP slogans and artwork without needing any additional permission! [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/5ec099d5-4550-86…]<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Download it here: https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Ocean-worksheet.docx<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> If you create something, and think another library might find it useful, please send a copy of the file to Luke Kralik at luke.kralik(a)cslpreads.org<mailto:luke.kralik@cslpreads.org>.

Library of Things question
by Nannette Miller 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Hi all, Week before last I put out a request for information about libraries of things, specifically about liability and display. Several people asked me to share the results. One person said their insurance agent said they did not need extra liability insurance, and one library with lots of display space answered. I see another request for information about packaging has been sent out. It's not much to go on, but we'll figure it out!

Policy Revamping Time
by dreid reeseunitylibrary.org 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Good afternoon, We are looking to update some policies and such, and I'm reaching out for ideas. First is with regards to patron card usage/sharing. How do your policies handle a situation where a patron has fees on their account above the acceptable limit but wants to use a family member's card to continue checking items out? Do you allow this? Does it depend on whether they reside in the same household or not? My other question is about evaluations/reviews. How often are the staff, director, and board members evaluated? Do you have a specific form that is used each time, and would you be willing to share it? Thank you in advance!! Danielle Reid, Director Reese Unity District Library 2065 Gates St., PO Box 413 Reese, MI 48757 Phone: (989) 868-4120 Fax: (989) 868-4123
