by Katie Rothley 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear Michlib-L, NDL invites you to join us this Thursday, February 17 at 7 PM via zoom for a talk & presentation with Candacy Taylor, award-winning author, photographer, cultural documentarian and curator/content specialist for an exhibition that toured in 2020 by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES). She will discuss her book, the Overground Railroad: The Green Book and the Roots of Black Travel in America (Abrams Books) and answer questions. Event description: Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the “black travel guide to America.” At that time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because black travelers couldn’t eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, and [ https://catalog.tln.lib.mi.us/?section=resource&resourceid=725492462&curren… | Overground Railroad ] celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. Please register here: [ https://bit.ly/339Q4ih | https://bit.ly/339Q4ih ] We hope to see you then! Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 ext. 221 [ https://northvillelibrary.org/ | https://northvillelibrary.org/ ]

Online reading challenge platform announcement!
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

The Library of Michigan will be providing public libraries across Michigan READsquared<https://www.readsquared.com/> for tracking their online reading programs through this coming year. The opportunity to submit a site request will begin on March 1, with two live trainings scheduled for late March and mid-April, so look for a message from Cathy Lancaster with the sign-up link in the coming weeks. A few key points: * READsquared will help libraries import any files from other online platforms, such as 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten or past registrants that created accounts for summer reading. * Pre-created programs are set-up to choose from and libraries will be able to adjust all program defaults to meet their needs, or, if you choose to design your own from scratch, the estimated staff time on program design is less than 2 hours. * A Mobile App is available. * Reading recommendations, booklists, and the ability to link to your catalog is available. * READsquared also offers the ability to track "paper program" participation, so libraries can easily collect data. * Flyers for more information on READsquared for review<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hgLn79y-abOdcTD-c2vSI_OMQaUeIvh8?us…>. * Not sure your library want to commit to a site? Feel free to review an earlier recorded demo<https://recordings.join.me/usvkAL6JWkyjI7Lb-Te0Pg> of READsquared. * If your library already maintains READsquared, they will be in touch on a library-to-library basis about refunding any pre-paid invoices. LM requested quotes in January from 5 online challenge providers and received 3 responses, out of which READsquared was selected for the support they will provide Michigan's public libraries. This support will have the option to be renewed by LM on an annual basis. READsquared is provided in part thanks to the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. I will be posting more information in the next few weeks, so please stay tuned. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Livonia Public Library to host award-winning author Scott Ellsworth on Tues, March 8
by Plant, Paige 12 Feb '22

12 Feb '22

Livonia Public Library invites you to join us for a conversation with award-winning writer Scott Ellsworth via Zoom on Tuesday, March 8 at 7pm. Scott will discuss his newest book, The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice, which tells the riveting story of the Tulsa Race Massacre. In less than 24 hours in the spring of 1921, over 1000 homes and businesses in Tulsa's Greenwood District--once known as "Black Wall Street"--were looted, burned and bombed from the air in the worst single incident of racial violence in American history. Thousands of Black residents were left homeless and hundreds were injured; the number of dead remains unknown. The history of this horrific event was systematically suppressed for decades, until courageous individuals fought to bring it to light. The Ground Breaking tells the story of the massacre, unearths the history of how it was covered up, and recounts the ongoing efforts to identify victims and provide justice for survivors and their families. The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice was longlisted for both the National Book Award and the Carnegie Medal. We will be giving away at random one signed copy of the book to a program attendee. Registration is required on the library's website at: <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__livonia.libcal.com_eve…> https://livonia.libcal.com/event/8798381<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__livonia.libcal.com_eve…> We hope you will join us!
