YALSA YALSA is in desperate need of someone to run the Hub<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>. It comes with a stipend! We're running into a lot of folks that don't have the time to commit (understandably). It'd roughly be 5-10 hours a week. We're willing to take someone for the interim as well: http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2021/12/20/the-hub-member-manager-sought-for-2021…<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…> ALA The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee (CSK) is petitioning ALA Council to move to Round Table status. If approved, the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table (CSKBART) will launch in June 2022. In 1982, the Coretta Scott King Book Awards became an official American Library Association award. Over the years, the CSK Awards have established a well-documented, 51-year history that recognizes African American authors and illustrators for their outstanding contributions to literature for children and young adults. The annual awarding of the CSK Awards is to encourage the artistic expression of the Black experience through literature and the graphic arts, including biographical, social, historical, and social history treatments. Book award recipients receive this award because they promote an understanding and appreciation of the Black experience. Created to commemorate the life and works of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to honor his wife, Coretta Scott King, the Awards exemplify her courage and determination to continue his work for peace and world brotherhood. This mission and purpose will remain steadfast. CSK is grateful to both the Ethnic & Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) and the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) for their leadership and support over the years. These benefactors have enabled CSK to grow and develop into the dynamic group it is today. As CSK moves toward an exciting new future, we believe that it is time for the CSK Book Awards Committee to continue its forward trajectory by preparing for this new leadership role within the American Library Association. If you agree with our goal, here is your opportunity to assist with this endeavor. To demonstrate your support, please use these links to: (1) Sign the CSK Petition: www.ala.org/CFApps/epetition/...<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ala.o…> (Please note you must be an ALA Member to sign the e-petition) (2) Submit CSK Letter of Support to - Monica Chapman, Project Coordinator, Coretta Scott King Book Awards and ODLOS Round Tables (mlchapman(a)ala.org<mailto:mlchapman@ala.org?subject=Letter%20of%20Support%20for%20CSK%20Round%20Table%20Status>) We will need one hundred signatures for the petition. Also, fifty support letters are required by January 15, 2022. Your assistance is appreciated!

MeL Minute: Small Engine Repair Reference Center for Winter
by Ann Kaskinen 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

[A picture containing text, clipart, sign Description automatically generated]Many of us in Michigan love everything about winter: the approximately 11,000 potentially frozen lakes to ice fish, the 40 or so resorts for ski lovers, winter camping in dozens of our state parks<https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79119_79734_83631---,00.html>, and even snowshoeing on state land<https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79119_79734_83628---,00.html>. But, for those that find nothing more exhilarating than gripping that antique snowmobile pull cord for the first winter tug, firing up a prized snowblower (snowthrower), or even pulling out the old chainsaw for its annual cut of the Christmas tree, then the Small Engine Repair Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> can prove to be an invaluable resource to keep that power equipment running smoothly. Chainsaws Hundreds of service manuals for models covering 29 different brands, including Alpina<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, Castor, Echo, Frontier, Husqvarna, John Deere, Makita, Remington, Stihl, and Tanaka, can be found under the Outdoor Power Equipment section of this eResource. These manuals are for models made before 1998. Snowmobiles >From the classic Arctic Cats<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> and Fox Tracs<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> to the little known Harley Davidson<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> and Ski Whiz<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> manuals, there are over 91 different brands of snowmobiles covered, ranging from the 1960s through the early 2000s. This section includes hard-to-find manuals on retired and vintage models. There is also information specific to Engine Service Fundamentals, Track & Suspension, Track Drive, and Skis & Steering. Snowthrowers With 26 different snowthrower brands and dozens of models covered, there is plenty to explore in these service manuals that predate 1990. Briggs & Stratton, Cub Cadet, Ford, J.C. Penney, John Deere, Montgomery Ward, Toro, and Yardman are some of the models covered. These can also be found under the Outdoor Power Equipment section of this eResource. Small Engine Repair Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> also provides service manuals for ATVs, generators & small engines, motorcycles, personal watercraft, and tractors.

How frequently do you change your locks?

Program Recommendation
by Mary Ruge 21 Dec '21

21 Dec '21

I just wanted to share an awesome program we had a few weeks ago, *Christmas Cookie Traditions with Food Historian, Sarah Wassberg Johnson* on Zoom. We had great attendance and a lot of positive reviews. Sarah was really easy to work with, very professional, and returned all of the needed papers on time (contract, W9) and even sent her own invoice. She knows so much about food and has been on numerous podcasts, written in magazines, and has her own food historian blog. She is based out of New York, but our virtual program went very, very well. I cannot recommend her highly enough! *Mary Ruge* Adult Services Librarian *Hackley Public Library* *316 W.

United for Libraries Session - Library Boards, Intellectual Freedom, and Challenges recording now available
by White, Shannon (MDE) 21 Dec '21

21 Dec '21

The Library of Michigan provides all Michigan public libraries with membership in the ALA division of United for Libraries, UFL. Each month UFL holds a "Learning Live" session. The December 14 session titled, "Library Boards, Intellectual Freedom, and Challenges" is now available as a recording on the members only area of the UFL site. According to a recent article in American Libraries (A Conflict of Values <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fe.z.teacha…> , Nov. 1), "Public libraries are facing a wave of trustee candidates whose goals challenge intellectual freedom, community service, and other core values of librarianship." How can you protect your library and board from finding itself in a position where a board member's ideologies oppose core library tenets? This session will focus on preparedness strategies, community building, and how to create strong policies that address programming, budgeting, and services. To access the recording of this session follow these steps: 1. Visit https://www.ala.org/united/ and click on Statewide Access-Find Your State button at the top of the page. 2. Scroll down to the Michigan section. Either login or register for your membership account. 3. Once you login you will find several squares for each class or session recording. Find the one titled, Library Boards, Intellectual Freedom, and Challenges and click on it. You can access the slides, details and the recording from there. Michigan public library staff can set up their own profiles at the UFL site to access the membership resources provided with the statewide membership courtesy of the Library of Michigan. If you have any questions, please contact us at LM-LibTraining(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LM-LibTraining@michigan.gov>. 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.
