[Michlib-l] Youth & Teen Services Updates

[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

Ready to Read Michigan
The Library of Michigan is excited to share that the following materials have just this morning been sent directly to public library directors, as part of our Ready to Read Michigan program<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michigan.gov%2Flibraryofmichigan%2F0%2C9264%2C7-381-88855_89743_89749---%2C00.html&data=02%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C63fdae5a829744b73c0408d8661795bc%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637371598763242426&sdata=eQSwHp9NxG9qfzz4N7Btzm3LuqNeFleva81FxD22FTk%3D&reserved=0>! Due to limited quantities purchased I cannot share the links widely via this listserv, but once your director forwards them to staff you are free to download the materials and use as you see fit to engage your patrons/community:

  *   PLA's 2021 Early Literacy Activities Calendar: HOT "off the presses!!!" Libraries can print and distribute it to patrons monthly, use it in e-Newsletters, or even post it on your library website!  Here is an example of how Herrick District Library uses it on their web platform, to mix in additional early literacy tips, rhymes & videos: https://communitycollections.herrickdl.org/HDL/early-lit-calendars<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunitycollections.herrickdl.org%2FHDL%2Fearly-lit-calendars&data=02%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C63fdae5a829744b73c0408d8661795bc%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637371598763252384&sdata=X72oEJ7gF8PW2FGAEIgfw7Tmm77aTxUNwejdlkZvyiQ%3D&reserved=0>.
  *   Every Child Ready to Read Toolkit for Serving Early Childhood Educators (2017):  This toolkit comes with a guide to serving early childhood educators, pre-made slides, fillable agendas, and more!  Please use this to engage early childhood educators in your community.  *Spoiler alert* The Library of Michigan is working with Betsy Diamant-Cohen, a.ka. Mother Goose on the Loose, to create additional, interactive Ready to Read Michigan workshops for families, caregivers, and early childhood educators, coming later this year.
The project described was supported by the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five Initiative (PDG B-5), Grant Number 90TP0002, from the Office of Child Care, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the Office of Child Care, the Administration for Children and Families, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

NASA @ My Library
NaML has a new playlist on YouTube from Cornerstones of Science that feature videos on the facilitations, using a planisphere and more. Feel free to link to those videos at any time! You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvQkYyArNCy1VSAvwgky801E--5-MZ0Z_<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPLvQkYyArNCy1VSAvwgky801E--5-MZ0Z_&data=02%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C22fca0f2a15c40b4f25c08d86176d1fc%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637366510247282336&sdata=sBQxQj5fSBv1evDdic7of24os6yS4eZ9jHmF3MaSKNQ%3D&reserved=0>
They also have a STEM Kit resource page up on the website if you choose to create more kits in the future: http://www.starnetlibraries.org/resources/stem-kits/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.starnetlibraries.org%2Fresources%2Fstem-kits%2F&data=02%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C22fca0f2a15c40b4f25c08d86176d1fc%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637366510247282336&sdata=R9FJB0pWsFwvOo7UPOwbDMFJz1BMTu05Ke5Xc7QAyvI%3D&reserved=0>

Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) 2021 Manual
The "Tails & Tales" 2021 CSLP Manual is now live! However, we have only purchased 1 access code per library, so an email went out last Friday, directly to all library directors, with the code (we will not be snail mailing it this year, only email). If you are the summer library program coordinator at your library, please look for a forwarded message from your director. Once you have the code to access the manual, you will need to create a user account on the CSLP website, if you don't already have one. The account can be for individual, or shared among the library staff in your building, as we have only 1 access code per library.  Manuals, graphics and more are available for download, printing, or you can continue to access it online through the library account. Please do not share the manual outside your library. The CSLP 2021 Tails & Tales shop is also now open, until the Library of Michigan re-opens I will not be able to mail out any catalogs, so please browse online: https://www.cslpreads.org/cslp-store/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpreads.org%2Fcslp-store%2F&data=02%7C01%7Clancasterc5%40michigan.gov%7C05c4e6017d504a1ae51608d8615a2669%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637366387102841126&sdata=ipVhvGDFcu4qr%2BRsOS9IHSD88Cv8qwo5ds%2F7o3%2FVr8I%3D&reserved=0>. Artwork this year is done by Salina Yoon.  I think you'll be as excited as I am to see the programs & art!
This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Tuesday, October 6
2:00 PM ET - Library of Michigan
Join us as two escape-room-loving librarians walk you through what you need to have for escape rooms at your library. We'll cover how to build in-person rooms for families and groups, how to take an escape room to schools, and how to build a digital escape room for community engagement. In the process, we'll consider budgets and staffing needs for libraries of all shapes and sizes. The webinar link will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the event. This is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It will be recorded and shared to registrants.
