Story times - what are you doing?
by Lorry Traver 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hi all, I have been trying to do virtual live story times for a few weeks now and I don't seem to be getting a large crowd from it, which I expected partially. I do have one family who regularly comes, but struggles with logging on and often has internet issues during story time. Those who are doing take-home or virtual programming only, what have you found works best for your story time? I apologize as I believe I asked this question recently, but I am trying to rethink my story time sessions to determine what my next step should be, whether moving to pre-recorded to make it easier for our patrons to view, or maybe just send home a DIY story time kit for interested families, ordering copies of the needed titles ahead of time for them to check out and use at home. Thank you ahead of time for your help! -- "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." - Dr. Seuss *Lorry Traver* Youth Services Coordinator Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N.

Countries of the world books for j-nonfiction collection
by audrey＠rauchholzlibrary.org 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hello Library Community, We are in the process of reorganizing and replacing outdated books in our juvenile nonfiction collection and one area in need of updating is our books on countries of the world. What we have now is mostly made up of the "Enchantment of the World" series from Scholastic, made up of about 100 books with a page count of 144 pages each. We like the detail and depth that these longer books offer, making them a good resource for middle school students. However, they were purchased with a grant back in 2006 and are now outdated. We are hoping to find a new collection that was published preferably within the past 3 years and is geared toward middle school students, not elementary, but aren't sure from our research if such a thing exists. What I'm hoping to find out is how other libraries have handled updating their countries of the world books. Has anyone else done this recently? Did you find a series you liked that has been published or updated recently? Or did you opt to instead focus on continents, regions, or cultures rather than individual countries? Or offer students online resources instead of books? Or did you do something else entirely? Any suggestions are welcome! Thank You!

Shifting Landscapes tonight: Critical Race Theory
by Thomas Trahey 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Mason County District Library and Abondia Center turn to education in the public lecture series Shifting Landscapes on Monday January 17, with *Critical Race Theory* at 7-8:30 pm on Zoom <http://mcdl.pub/sl-zoom> at mcdl.pub/sl-zoom, featuring Jamila Jefferson-Jones, Professor of Law, Wayne State University. Jefferson-Jones is a professor of law and also the associate director of Property, Equity and Justice for the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights. She teaches courses in Property, Real Estate Transactions, Fair Housing, and Entrepreneurial Urban Development. Jamila Jefferson-Jones writes about property and wealth attainment by communities and groups on the margins of society. Her work harnesses critical race methodologies, focusing in part on the use or threat of police action against members of disfavored groups. Her recent article on this subject, #LivingWhileBlack: Blackness As Nuisance <https://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/aulr/vol69/iss3/3/>, was published in the *American University Law Review* and featured in the *New York Times* . Professor Jones will lead the group in discussion of Critical Race Theory. What is it? Who teaches it? Where is it taught? How is it used in modern educational settings? In asking questions about the nature and purpose of education, the Shifting Landscapes’ series seeks to address questions on people’s minds. It also hopes the information helps people get more from news sources, as well as professionals and others about education and news that matters to them. Shifting Landscapes series will focus on education in January, including Critical Race Theory (Jan 17), and Teaching Difficult Truths to Children and Youth (Jan 24). Additional topics include Race/Racism (Feb 7, 14, 21), Truth in Politics (Mar 7, 14, 21), and Economics (Apr 4, 11, 18). Events are free, live or by Zoom. Tickets are not necessary but registration is helpful. To register: mcdl.pub/sl-register. For information visit mcdl.pub/SL. The previous lecture by Professor Robert Cook on the 1619 Project is available for viewing at mcdl.pub/1619. -- Thomas Trahey Mason County District Library Head of Circulation 231-843-8465
