Library Supplies
by Penn, Allie 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Hello, My name is Allie Penn and I am a law firm librarian for Butzel Long. We’re in the process of weeding our physical collection and that means I no longer need supplies for the books. We have a large amount of supplies and I am hoping someone is looking or willing to take them. We have labels, scanners, index cards, holders for the checkout cards, stickers, etc. Please feel free to send me an email if you’re interested! Thanks!

A Rural Library Summit from Berea College
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

[cid:ii_kw3w1xd80] Partners, Save the Children and Partners for Education at Berea College are pleased to announce that the second annual Rural Library Summit will be held Wednesday, December 1, 2021. The Summit will explore how libraries can support cradle-to-career solutions by growing their impact on improving third-grade reading, combating food insecurities and enhancing mental health. We are excited to announce that Dr. Felicia Cumings Smith, president of the National Center for Families Learning, will present the opening keynote address. The 2021 Rural Library Summit celebrates the power of libraries to engage rural communities to build stronger, more equitable supports for all young people. Presentations and workshops will introduce how to create successful cradle-to-career initiatives and offer practitioners the opportunity to share what has worked in their community. Cradle-to-career initiatives create pathways to success for all young people by recognizing that access to opportunity is limited for many and supports are needed to meet the needs of all. Supports include programs addressing food insecurity, early education, literacy, mental health, college access and much more. Public libraries play a key role in creating successful initiatives by catalyzing the community to work together. The Rural Library Summit will introduce attendees to the mindsets, skills and tools needed to bring community partners together to build shared pathways to success. In addition to the opportunities for learning at the Summit, Save the Children is proud to offer $7,500 worth of support material to Rural Library Summit participants. Fourteen attendees will be randomly selected to win the prizes listed below. 1 grand prize winner - $2,500 to shop on STEMfinity<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstemfinit…> 3 winners - $1,000 each to shop on Scholastic 10 winners - $200 Vroom Kits To win, you must be present during the Summit and be a member of the Rural Library Network.

Requesting recommendations for software
by Jacalynn Harvey (Roseville Public Library) 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Good morning, If you currently loan laptops to the public, can you recommend software to "clean" the computers of unwanted files after circulation? SLC uses Deepfreeze which take the laptop back to the original settings each time it is restarted, but any other suggestions? Also, any suggestions for filtering software for circulating laptops? Grants from the federal government would require filtering software if devices will access the Internet. Regards, Jacalynn Harvey Director Roseville Public Library 29777 Gratiot Avenue Roseville, MI 48066 586-447-4550 586-445-5407 Library General Information 586-445-5499 FAX [1506967672552_PastedImage] www.rosevillelibrary.org www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI<http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI> https://twitter.com/rsvlibrary https://www.instagram.com/rsvlibrary/ <http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI> <http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI>

They make up our well-used collection of kitchen reference books. But there's a special kind of cookbook that is so good to read, you forget to leave time to cook. Often referred to as Narrative Cookbooks, there are many titles seasoned with the flavor of the Great Lakes State. They take us places, invite us to a new table as guests, share the stories that make the food special, and sometimes leave the recipes out entirely. Welcome to the kitchen!

[Family History Virtual Series December] ________________________________ [Yusef Lateef]MIchigan Music Collection: Yusef Lateef (1920-2013) Yusef Abdul Lateef (born William Emanuel Huddleston) was Jazz tenor saxophonist, flutist, and bandleader. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1920, Lateef spent much of his early life in Detroit when his family moved there in 1925. He moved to New York in 1946 and worked with big bands, including Dizzy Gillespie's (1949-50). Returning to Detroit, he took his Muslim name while studying flute and composition at Wayne State University. He led a quintet that played hard bop and also adapted Asian and Middle Eastern music to jazz. Again in New York, he joined Charles Mingus (1960, 1961) and Cannonball Adderley (1962-64), and led groups. His albums include Eastern Sounds (1961) and Live at Pep's (1964). By this time he also played oboe, bassoon, and non-Western reeds and flutes. His playing moved toward free jazz (mid-1960s) and disco (late 1970s). Lateef also spent several years teaching music in higher education institutions in New York, Massachusetts, and Nigeria. His 1988 album Yusef Lateef's Little Symphony earned him the Grammy Award for Best New Age Album. In 2010 Lateef received the lifetime Jazz Master Fellowship Award from the National Endowment for the Arts. He passed away in Massachusetts in 2013.

Challenged/Banned Books
by Jim Flury 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Good Morning, Thought I would share this PW article that discusses what appears to be an increasingly organized, possibly national trend to challenge and/or ban books. I am not on the "front lines" as nearly all of you are, so just wondering if we are seeing this trend in Michigan as well. If not, then the increased number of challenges/ban efforts that are taking place in other states might be something to keep in mind.

If you can commit to attend live and participate both weeks, please register here<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even…>. Research shows that beliefs about intelligence and ability impact one's performance and response to failure. Learn more about what research says, how to examine and change your own mindset, and what you can do to help support children's growth mindset and persistence through challenge. Do you wonder what research really says about how to support school readiness? Based on a comprehensive review of cognitive and developmental psychology, the key findings in Reimagining School Readiness aim to surface the skills and conditions that matter most for a child's success in school and life, and to guide educators and others (including families) in designing learning experiences and environments to support this development. Attendees will gain insights into the current research behind the skills and conditions that matter most for a child's success in school and life. The workshop will include an overview of BADM's Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit that library staff can use to supplement or create quality school readiness programming. Instructor: Michelle Wessman Randall, PhD, Head of Evaluation at the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) and BADM staff. This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.

MDHHS Advisory
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Greetings! This morning the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a press release (https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98163-572726--,00.html) indicating that a public health advisory on facemasks would be issued in anticipation of the holiday season. In addition, the advisory will offer guidance on mitigating risks during holiday events. According to the release: "MDHHS will issue a Public Health Advisory that recommends everyone over the age of 2 should wear a face mask at indoor gatherings regardless of their vaccination status. In addition, establishments should implement a policy to ensure that all persons entering or seeking services, including employees, wear a mask. This face mask advisory will remain effect until further notice. " Note that the official advisory has not yet been issued and at this time we do not know the exact language and whether or how it will apply to public libraries. The information in the release below would suggest that the advisory is optional. Libraries may wish to begin the discussion of how they may respond to this MDHHS advisory with respect to voluntary or mandatory employee masking. Absent a masking requirement (which this advisory does not seem to be so far), a patron masking requirement should only be implemented after a discussion with the library's attorney. More information will be forthcoming as the full advisory is released. Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.
