Upcoming Webinars & Workshops

Creating a Tween Collection<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=229>
Thursday, September 12th, 2:00 PM EDT
Thinking of creating a collection just for tweens? Curious why such a collection is important? Join Karen M. Smith, a Michigan librarian and author of "Creating a Tween Collection: A Practical guide for Librarians," as she shares tips on tween literature, carving out a space, budgeting, and more. Webinar attendees will receive a free copy of the book; space is limited!  If unable to attend live, the webinar will be recorded for registrants.

Save the Date for 2020's "Imagine Your Story" and Virtual Reality Workshop!: Registration will open later this summer, but for now save the following dates on your 2019 Fall calendars: Monday, November 18 (Bloomfield Township Public Library, Bloomfield Twp), Tuesday, November 19 (Portage District Library, Portage), and Thursday, November 21 (Otsego County Library, Gaylord).
Nationally known storyteller Will Stuck will present on the 2020 Collaborative Summer Library Program's "Imagine Your Story."  From passive programming to decorating to age-specific ideas, Stuck will help refresh your summer reading programs.  Later in the day we will take the theme a step further and dive into the world of Virtual Reality with Kevin McDonough, Reference Librarian at Northern Michigan University, learning about different VR equipment, experiencing a virtual reality for yourself, and resources to support programming in your library with VR.

These programs are supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. #IMLS

Resources

MiYouth Listserv!
The Library of Michigan has begun a listserv specifically for public library staff who conduct children and teen programming and services in Michigan.  To sign-up go to: http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/miyouth. I will be conducting polling, discussing youth services related topics, and announcing upcoming trainings and programs.  I know there are a number of youth services staff not on Michlib-L, but they will want to sign-up for this new listserv!  Please spread the word to anyone on your team in youth services.

MiRead: Michigan's Early Literacy Portal Going Live - Summer 2019

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is pleased to support the launch of the MiRead application. This tool supports the Read by Grade 3 (RBG3) law and the Individual Reading Instruction Plan (IRIP) process. MiRead supports the work of the Literacy Essentials by providing a clear and compelling view and a focus on Tier-I, ensuring that every student has access to high-quality literacy instruction every day. The MDE's commitment to work collaboratively to support literacy efforts at the local, regional, and statewide levels meets our Literacy Priority and Top 10 in 10 Goals 2, 5, and 7. The MiRead application is powered by MiStrategyBank, when intervention is needed for focus on best practices and is enabled by MiDataHub to make data into information you can use.

YALSA: Find Great Teen Books
Search 4,000+ books, audiobooks, and films from YALSA's book awards and book lists.<http://booklists.yalsa.net/>
While these books have been selected for teens from 12 to 18 years of age, the award-winning titles and the titles on YALSA's selected lists span a broad range of reading and maturity levels. We encourage adults to take an active role in helping individual teens choose those books that are the best fit for them and their families.


Have a fantastic weekend,
